I've always been amused by police procedurals where they are like "it's 15 to life, but if you cooperate we can take the death penalty off of the table". I mean, I'm sure at the moment of death risk the ultimate FOM

The "teachers shouldn't parent; parents stopped parenting" lesson is one I've heard from more than a few. What if teachers ALWAYS "parented", and as societies grow more tolerant and diverse this obviously doesn

The problem is the unknowns. Let's say you are wrongly charged with a crime and the evidence is enough that the prosecution is moving forward. The max sentence is 30 years, and you're offered a plea of 2 years. There is a chance

On a systemic level, however, if no one does these non -promotion worthy tasks, everyone suffers (not an optimization). So, perhaps not changing the rules for promotion, but the system seems to need a change unless we want either everyone

Utterly ignoring the content of disney/marvel movies for this post...what is the proper response to this problem? Theatres that just elect to follow the requirements lose money if they are small markets. Theaters that refuse the requi

I really feel there is too much emphasis on who won (in this context). As car as I can tell, initially the efforts were just to increase division - manipulative ads were placed on BOTH sides of the spectrum, apparently just trying to get pe

This is a common swing point though: PM: Make this change to the site Backend: that would take 2 weeks to make sure it doesn't break anything Frontend: That's a tiny change! I can do it in 2 hours Frontend makes the change. Alon

...but people hating on the PEP (and refusing to accept their concerns had been considered) was the reason it drove him over the edge, so your post lamenting the issue is at the same time demonstrating the issue.

My company has been flirting with graphql. As a frontend dev, I had a positive experience with one service because the backend was far more willing to add new query options. The much publicized "only get what you ask for" part wa

This may be being handled off to us. I just got appts for both a nutritionists and a sleep specialist, and the clinics explicitly asked ME to find out if it is covered, mumbling something about the particular insurer (blue shield of AL) re

I saw the page reload multiple times when doing a search before finally dying...I can only imagine that means additional load generated by the initial triggering failure. Which in turn tells me they didn't test the failure case. Now,

Any sources for me to read up on? Googling just gave me the BattleChess duck story, some unrelated UX examples using ducks, and info about how the duck hunt "gun" worked.

Interestingly, despite not being a dog person, I found the first instance of a dog to be a cute, human-relatable inclusion. On later pages I found it frustrating and annoying. I'm sure there's a fundamental UX principle or two at

Good to know, but to this specific case, if someone (basically) says "This is not a spinoff to let it die, but to flourish on it's own", it's nice to have them explain why they are credible when they (or previous company

You are correct that there are cases where the nuances make it impossible to have one be "superior" to another, and I'm not arguing otherwise. That does not mean that some systems can't be objectively worse than a collec
