All the denied sites shitting up my notification-apps list with noise isn't welcome, either. The whole thing's a mis-feature. If it must exist at all, sites shouldn't be able to prompt for it, but simply advertise the functio

A major factor in achieving excellent battery life coupled with relatively good performance & responsiveness, on Apple products, is the OS. That holds for both Macs and iDevices.

The improved battery life with M1 is so good that I pretty much only plug in when I'm at my desk. Most of the situations in which MagSafe saved me before (and there were plenty) I'm just not using a charger at all, now. And at my

Consider the manager who tries to put in a couple hours a week helping with filing (as in, organizing paper files). Let's say the filing system is very busy and constantly evolving to meet new needs. Odds are they're just going to

Maybe not strictly necessary for any life, but the broad principal is that any process that recycles material is going to be really helpful to life, with big bonus points for it working in a dynamic fashion so it tends to self-stabilize—p

The inclusion of "ego" seems like kind of a cop-out, like, "it could be one of these three things, or... uh... literally anything else".

You also need plate tectonics. And exactly the right level of stellar radiation for the carbonate-silicate cycle to work, if you want photosynthesis, and without that you likely won't have anywhere near enough energy available for comp

In the US, you've also got the problems of: not all votes count equally (Senate, electoral college) so some people's opinions (say, those in Wyoming) count a whole lot more than others; you need 60 Senate votes to do anything remo

Different schools do it different ways, often in cooperation with local law enforcement. Some do things like playing gunshots over a speaker somewhere in the building, others do different things. Most are the kind of activity that can mes

My "favorite" is when they mix teams working on unrelated things in the same standup. That sucks no matter how many people are in the meeting (thought obviously it's worse the larger the attendance)

That's how it works in well-functioning agile teams, but in "Agile" teams the team can't decide on their own to e.g. totally ditch standups. Management won't allow it, or they've set up the project manager to b
