I’m pretty sure a nibbler will not wear out anywhere as quickly as scissors. It can allow young children to work independently so you’d have to factor in cost of supervision with the scissors. Main problem with it is that it is more expensi

Paying 35% below market and promising security to those willing to believe it is a sure way to slowly brain drain the company. People forget how dominant Microsoft used to be in tech.

The future we’re already in should be characterized as cheap complexity. As an example, in manufacturing one offs were cost prohibitive, now it’s close enough to mass manufacturing cost that in many cases there is no point taking that extra

Tips through apps, much like charity at the grocery store checkout, is a really strong signal that the provider can raise their prices. Basically asking how wealthy do you feel after the transaction.

AFAIK TDD culturally occurred at the same time as the push for 100% test coverage. So we would end up with code bases that were 90% test code and 10% actual code, every individual method had many tests. This meant for every code change ther

I think a big part of the transparency was to help clean up this very mess, motivate developers to do the right thing or face public ridicule. The public is not in any org chain, we don’t get performance bonuses, we’re not incentivized to h

Large companies are the same for the same reasons, the relationship between you paying them and their personal benefit is so incredibly remote that it might as well not exist.

That did help the make the premise more believable, the problem occurs when a low cost laptop of $500 and lasting 5 years would result in $500 for the cost of the operating system (5 * $100), instead of the OEM cost $20-60 once off. It'

There are many TNXB SNPs and many are not rare, while I can theorize that the number and severity of the SNPs can explain a spectrum I don't have enough data to prove it. The data that I do have is highly improbable to be from random c
