And in some ways it did then too... well, at least once enough people learned to read for it to be possible to distribute information to the “masses” via text. Look up the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” on Wikipedia.

They have too many software developers and their middle management needs to justify the headcount. So they spend their time rebuilding interfaces that were just fine to begin with.

What makes you think there’s any other reasoning behind it?

No, food is something you need. A cellphone plan is something you need to function in modern society without an enormous handicap. Television is not something you need.

If you truly find no food, fat - though less so. Your body can live for a little while off your fat stores, but with no proteins it will eventually start to break down. I’ve seen 6 weeks cited as a typical life expectancy without food. Even

How effectively? How good is the handwriting recognition with messy scrawls?

I have no evidence that the opportunity you claim is better is actually better. Especially in the ways that matter most to me, many of which can’t be determined until you’ve been at a new job a few weeks. And then there are the obligations

Ask seems to get updated in batches. Maybe the mods curate them or something?

Ah, we don’t do code review mid-project except for very large projects. For those large projects, we just keep working in the same branch and apply the code review changes when they come in. It’s not much of a disruption. For preliminary fo

I have no idea if you're doing it right without being able to see. With proper posture, your back will be nearly vertical, and your vertebrae stack directly on top of one another with almost no support from your muscles. You should be

Are you using a laptop without an external keyboard? If so, you have to hunch over at an awkward angle to see the screen. No amount of stretching or exercise will make that comfortable in the long term. Get an external keyboard and mouse&#x

We don’t have quantifiable metrics, but I could distill our habits into some qualitative ones: First, we hotfix only for data loss bugs or for breakage of one of 3-5 absolutely central pieces of functionality without which our site might as

Why not just create a queue per tenant? IIRC, SQS charges per message, not per queue.

Most likely the parents' income doesn't come in as an annual lump sum either.

No kidding. Weirdly, Verizon sometimes does that to me with legit calls anyway, even with perfect reception. Infuriating.

This still sounds to me like it might be a process issue around code review rather than code review actually being the problem. What else would you be doing on the same problem post-PR if you didn’t have to wait for code review?

You're going to be context switching at the point you make the pull request anyway. And if you structure your day well, you can do the rest of the context switching at a point when it's not a burden anyway - such as making changes

While you wait for code review you work on another ticket. What kind of screwy engineering process assumes that code review is instantaneous and doesn’t give you something else to do in parallel?

Basically, a survey of different cultures’ responses to the trolley problem. And this doesn’t even touch on the question of passengers vs bystanders.

I no longer pick up the phone unless the caller is in my address book. But the ringing is still distracting. iOS lets you suppress calls from all but contacts, but to do that you have to put your phone in “do not disturb” mode, which also s

My guess would be that it has something to do with corporate phone systems. In some cases they want all incoming calls to the front desk or 800 number regardless of the outgoing number - and it’s not all that uncommon for each desk in an of

That’s some impressive retention! Different people value different things. Some ideas might be to refresh their stock option grants; or give them an extra couple weeks of vacation (like a “sabbatical”); or title bumps.

Perhaps something buried in the 20 pages of legalese that you consent to as “terms of service” when you “sign” your ISP/cable TV contract by saying “yes” into the phone when prompted?

It’s not like digital UIs are any more immune from poor design issues that make it confusing to determine who you’re voting for. Plus you have the problem of poorly calibrated touch screens where you think you’re tapping one name but it tur
