Loved this books and allowed me to build several of the projects.. (Including the very crappy LED oscilloscope). They where very non threatening to a 14 year old kid with a reduced command of the English language.

When I am stuck on a issue/decision/bug I just stand up and go "walk about it" with my dog.. Most of the times I come back with something to get started.. All of the times my dog comes back with a wagging tail.

In (some) poor countries, public teaching pays poorly and tend to have strong unions. Unfortunately this combination attracts bad actors that politicize education putting the interests of the children last. Technology can't do much abo

For most people, (read spreadsheets, word processors, etc ) computers make their jobs easier or more productive. It is hard to say the same for medical software, mainly because it is not designed to help medical providers, but to help admin

That is exactly how we do them.. you say the word and point to the item with the hand you will be using. Ex: When landing the plane: GUMPS (gas, undercarriage, mixture,prop,seatbelts ) say them all while pointing to each item.

One way to mitigate slips are mnemonics.. in grain them into the students when they are learning, and they will get stuck with them for life. I have one for pretty much everything I do.

I learned to protect MY shareholders first. (my family) I am somewhat OCD and have given sweat and blood for companies more motivated by the "get it done" attitude then for the money. After the last .com crash debacle, I realized

If I made a penny for every time I accepted blame for a managers dumb mess-up..... (As an over paid IT contractor) Oh! now that I think about it.. guess who always gets called back by those managers for new projects! :)

Nothing beats a short nap after lunch to let the body (and mind) reset the system for a great afternoon. Many companies now days have special nap rooms, with mats and blankies. :)

Exactly as I would do if I was on the office: Jira (or whatever task manager you use), GroupChat, Git PR's and so on.. And if you are doing some sort of Agile, a 15 minute morning stand-up call.

Unfortunately, I do not need to see a study to know that the waters near Lima (Where I live & surf) are full of crap.. That said, the healthy effects of the exercising on the sea must counteract the bacteria, because I don't know a

Please look at my comment above on Accidents vs Recklessness. As an example of a group that is well trained, follows procedures and plans properly, take the Golden Knights skydiving team. They had a handful of deaths since they started in 1

There is a hidden factor here that I don't think is being taken into account. Accidents vs Recklessness. Let me explain: When you do a risk activity, the way to mitigate risk is to bound the situation to keep all variables within safe
