No, I mean "bucket list". A lot of people think that it was part of the vernacular before the movie came out, but it wasn't.

Even without the historical evidence, the slogan seems an unlikely coinage without the existing idiom (surely "when it rains, Morton pours" would be more likely), and I don't know how you'd get from the marketing slogan

Shouldn't these tools be used primarily at the team level? Large organizations don't necessarily have larger teams. I'm not sure why it should make a big difference if you have 2 or 200 teams of 5 using the tool.

Trac has been around nearly as long as Jira and I'd much rather use it.

What necessary features did Jira give you that Redmine and/or "tickets + kanban boards" didn't?

To the extent there's self-deprecation, it's that he believes he made the "mistake" of assuming that these "Google programmers" could be taught to do better.

Not when the rest of the piece was describing his mistake as, essentially, trusting that other programmers were as good as him. He goes on to suggest that the training of these other programmers makes it impossible for them to perform up to

A lot of other people have flagged the remarks about "yelling in chat" and the like, and those are certainly red flags, but I think what you're pointing out here is the biggest problem. "Write code on paper" and &qu

In the absence of any specifics about how this person was measuring "performance" or "productivity", it's not unreasonable to extrapolate from the details he does provide which reflect poorly on his management abili

Both the Bard and the Stratford man were referred to by many spellings of "Shakespeare", as was typical of the time. This is because they were the same person. This argument against Shakespeare's authorship has been debunked

> There were just too many coincidences pointing to North’s authorship of the source plays—too many characters and ideas in North’s work and people and events in his own life that seemed to make their way into the Shakespeare canon. Some

Linux allows memory overcommitment and Windows does not. On Windows, when the system is out of memory, attempts to allocate more will fail. Each running application has to decide from there on out exactly what to do. On Linux, running proce

The Patriot Act is a broad-ranging piece of legislation, and the anti-money laundering provisions in Title III are less controversial than other titles.

Your chaining example and the defer example can't both work together, since they both rely on different return types for SetVerbosity.

The first example isn't a type annotation, it's a type definition. The curly braces are consistent with the literal syntax for records. I agree that the use of double colons in record types seems inconsistent. I assume it resolves

The first one is part of the syntax for defining a sum type, the second is a function returning a tuple, and the third is a function returning a record.

It matters for the question of whether Nim manages to do the same things as Rust with better syntax.

by djur 4y ago
I'm curious what that assumption is based on. Rust and Nim are pretty different, and both of them have features that the other doesn't even try to have.

This transponder is "smaller than a grain of salt", so it probably doesn't matter, but in any case it's embedded in the casein label in the wax. If you're really worried about it and have a rind with part of the lab

It's not that the cellulose is harmful, but that it might be used as filler in quantities far in excess of what is necessary for preventing caking. Calling it "wood pulp" is pointless scaremongering, I agree. Cellulose on pre

For the ~1 month I have access to local fresh tomatoes, I'm going to be eating them in fresh preparations like caprese salad, BLTs, etc. rather than using them on sauces. The remaining 11 months of the year, canned tomatoes are just fi

This is a good insight. The biggest problem I've seen with OKRs is the desire to "align" them, which always ends up meaning that each manager rewrites their team's OKRs to fit into their director's OKRs and so on up

My experiences have tended more toward "everybody stresses out about OKRs for a couple weeks every quarter and then you might as well have deleted the file because nobody will ever, ever, ever talk about them again".

What's worse is when that team gets around to it next quarter, and then in their research process they realize another team needs to be involved, etc. Eventually you have a two-week project that doesn't get delivered for a year.
