Gosh I can only imagine how hard this is. I work in a basement and can't even hear the tornado siren when they test it each month. It can be raining, snowing, hot as hell and I would have no idea. Thank God I work with really good peo

I'm always baffled how gossip and negative speak about others is considered good social skills while discussing something important about life, be that technical, big problems for society, or other topics that require thought is lackin

If you collect analytics you should be able to see the volume of usage by browser version. We make rational decisions where I work based on the analytics only.

I'd like to see the data and not just an assertion that the RUSI Mask is a better match.

Facebook's response seems predictable if the intern had just thought about it a bit. I'm not arguing that FB did the right thing, only that they took a predictable action.

I was project manager over a FORTRAN project in the early 1980's. I remember very clearly how our team's productivity went up as well as satisfaction when the developers starting using the Ratfor (Rational Fortran) preprocessor.

To some extend I think you can control how you feel about them and parenting. There are days that just go on and on with parenting. Sick kids, crying,, whatever. You can choose to let that get to you or just solder on. That is a choice.

Meaningful life or happy life is a decision that needs to be made with intent. After having 4 way bypass surgery at 48 years old I knew my life needed to change. I worked for a bank and worked 60+ hrs a week. In fact many weeks were near 80

While this seems cool I've become skeptical of these sorts of announcements till there is a product with specifications and that someone can evaluate. I guess all the battery revolutions that go puff in the night has me just saying o

I agree with this list. Not multitasking is hard in the connected world and I type this HN comment during work. LOL. But my team does support and development so context switching can kill us some days.

So sad when the boss does not get it and others seem to think they need to model the bosses behavior. My boss is retiring on June and she has no outside interests. No golf, no card playing, no anything. She works 70+ hours and has for years

Just yesterday I was explaining how I did projects to satisfy bank examiners for a prior employer. The bank examiners would ask us to do work that would, under normal conditions, take a year, and to do that work in 3 months. I got great fe

I wonder what the impact is when you truly love your work versus you have to work longer hours. Of course correlation does not equal causation but for those of us that have worked long hours year after year I would guess we know that long h

I get to program python maybe 300 hrs a year. And I love every minutes. But there are times that I wonder if I'm doing it in an idiomatic way. There are a lot of good resources out there on python but this one has helped me a lot in

This notion that participation needs to be rewarded is pervasive and destructive. We need to praise outcome success and not just showing up. When I had young kids we kept taking them to birthday parties where everyone got a toy and a bag

Let me state first that I practice the Growth Mindset with my kids. But this is such a small part of what it takes to motivate people to maximize their ability to learn and grow. The article seems to imply the all or none nature of the late

I've tried both and can't stick to low fat. My genotype is carb sensitive. Eating carbs of low nutrient value (bread, grains, pasta ...) makes me hungry. A well formulated low carb diet that has me keto-adapted reduces my appetite

OP here. I'm 61. When I was in High School I unwrapped a model rocket engine and lit it. Wow was that stupid. It came right at me and then exploded. No harm but did not try that again.

OP here: I have two daughters. One builds things (robots) and one does not. But there are so few women as electronic hobbyists. FIRST Robotics is helping bring young women into the fabrication maker mentality. I just wish it could happen
