They allow me to see if I'm missing something (another way of looking at it they also prevent me from being totally unjust). So they are ok as an information source, but can create nasty incentives. So you don't give them too much

I manage 30 people, but I review only 10 of them and the rest are reviewed by my team-leads. We use KPIs and 360 feedback. These are not perfect measures, and I acknowledge that often, but are good enough for some purposes. Performance revi

BB is really cool, I just used it to run an ETL-type process I wrote, and I didn't had to change the Clojure program at all. Also, the built-in batteries were just what I was using anyway (JSON parsing most importantly).

It is fine to use local mutable variables to implement an algorithm, however global objects modified all over a complex program can be risky - you might have bugs caused by getting into an "unexpected" state.

I like the BeOS interface in that it has a nice feel of polish and integration similar to MacOS. Also it doesn't pretend your computer is a tablet. Even MacOS succumbed to that trend with version 11. In 10 years someone in Silicon Vall

This is very interesting! So by getting the job you get the valuable experience of managing 50+ people, but the trade-off is that you are expected to works shifts, stay on your feet for more than 12h, if needed to physical work, and be will

Isn't the best way to have regular sex is to be in a committed relationship, either a marriage or living with a partner? These are on a decline. Statistically women date/marry and live with older men, so I think it would be expect

It is from the Polish-Russian war of 1919-1920, which was then called the "Polish front" by the Bolsheviks. The tell is that there is РКП (Russian Communist party, which was the name used for a short period before the founding of

Nice! Really pleasant interface. However, everything returns MMOs and Strategy returns RPGs for some reason. Steam does this as well and I think if filtering is fixed it can really set the site apart.

One thing I've noticed is that I'm using not only Emacs but other editors, I really like Org-mode for notes and cider-mode for Clojure but I find myself switching to other editors including vim and VS Code when doing other tasks.
