I had a pretty bad case of tendinitis once, that basically made my thumb useless since using it would cause extreme pain. That test seems really good. I could use a computer keyboard without any issue, but putting a belt on or pouring wate

I've had code yellows before, and they were never "immediate meeting on saturday". They are essentially projects that take precedence, and gets rid of the "who's job is this" question. I think Code yellows work

Working with Turbo and Stimulus with Rails is such a breath of fresh air for me for this reason. Sure its not just writing HTML, but its such a vastly simpler framework for creating a responsive web page than React, Vue, Angular, etc. I don

Assuming you want more Long form, narrative style historical podcasts. History of the Germans, The French History Podcast, and The History of England are all very good in depth podcasts. I also enjoy the History of The Crusades, which is go

This post vastly under-estimates the amount of malnutrition in most societies pre-modern times. Even with heavy physical labor, I would be willing to bet that the average physical laborer in say 1800, who we know was significantly smaller,

I guessed correctly on the last 6 elections personally. I was at a party over the weekend. I asked a room of 30 people what they thought of the assassin and the overwhelming consensus was hero, they wouldn't say anything if they saw hi

You implemented the problem wrong, and thus got an error. If hats is a list of colors, then every hat != green is true if the list is empty.

This xkcd comic makes the mistake of conflating the right to free speech and the 1st ammendment. The 1st ammendment exists to protect the right of free speech from the government, but the right is god given.

Not OP, and this was Hotwire Rails with Stimulus but I also saw a similar reduction in moving a page from React to Hotwire. It was actually a new page, with significant changes so couldn't be trumped up to just a rewrite. But this was

That is the way to do it, good on Stripe. Its definitely labor intensive, but I think that you either need to outsource it or be big enough that you can source the talent to build a half-dozen plus idiomatic and kind of big applications to

Fair enough. Nate Silver was predicting a toss up, but was upfront that the model uses many simulations. Since the GP mentioned Nate Silver, I mistakenly took your comment about 538 as disagreeing with that since Silver did used to run 538.

It is ideological, but it isn't anything like China thinking that a "free, democratic society" is a threat. China has gotten incredibly rich under the CCP, the average stance is that its a great model. China thinks of Taiwan

For management in companies, the key resume drivers are team sizes and budgets to show how “experienced” they are. There are definitely adverse incentives. A lot of empire building goes on as managers try and grow how much they oversee to m

Github doesn't stop me from making an infinite number of git repos. Or maybe they do, but I have never hit the limit. And if I am hitting that limit, and become a large enterprise customer, I am sure they would work with me on getting

I work on a few projects that do have a model that is over a thousand lines long. A lot of times as the model gets more complex, you start moving associated model logic into their own models, which helps reduce the problem space. I think it

Interesting. So it seems that from reading this, Canada, or at least Ontario, has a lot more electives at grade 12 than the US. So this might be more like the UK with their A-levels. In the US a highly motivated student might take say 4-5 A

This sums up the situation nicely. Though the part where Matt tried to extort wp engine into paying him personally an absurd sum didn't help put him on the right foot. It seems like every step Matt makes just makes the whole situation
