Surely a doctor isn't going to prescribe medication just because you're working too much? They're going to tell you to work less and sleep more. They don't care about your deadlines, they only care about you health.

It's getting easier all the time, though. The interpolators (q etc) are great!

I always wondered what the importance of maintaining such an accurate frequency is. Are there reasons other than keeping parts of the system in phase? (From what you're saying it sounds like they take additional measures to ensure that

You're making excuses for poor UX in a way that makes you sound elitist. Not alerting you that you have replies is ridiculous. "Stay in the thread"? No, thanks, I'm not going to keep checking my comments for replies. Tha
