Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. We can still measure how quickly new (average) developers become proficient, average team velocity over time, and a host of other metrics that tell us if we are increasing or decreasing

Selling eternal salvation to the poor will always be easier than selling another support tool to a procurement person spending someone else's money and probably with one eye on a new job.

Does anyone consider FAANG to be startups? I'm confused by your comment.

> seems like saving face matters more This is sadly always the case. For everything. We'd rather let people die (e.g. Challenger) than admit any fault or delay to fix a problem.

The article mentioned the issue with vacuum tubes: they work, but are at high risk of losing vacuum.

So... hire to SpaceX do it?

Best: what it takes to do a great job. Level of detail, thought before action; how to have a productive debate. Worst: some people will put all their effort into the performance of working but never actually work. You risk your own job call

I've been using Alacrity/Sway for at least that long, and it's been perfect. Maybe I have a low end machine. How does it misbehave on Wayland?

It's never your job to empathize with your manager. They get paid more to manage you. If your manager needs coddling, you're managing them. Or you're being a friend; but as a subordinate they are responsible for enabling you,

Wow if you're real, I'd love to have worked for you. Typically managers don't do the other half of what you do: they want critical surprise issue fixed yesterday, and with no caveats; you better still be available for marketi

Except BO isn't a competitor, really. They'd just like to be.

It's a very light truck. Especially these days. Seems like a vanity vehicle mostly. If you're hauling you have a bigger truck, and if you're offroading you have a jeep or something. Nobody is using electric for anything that

Phish did that. I pay them. They're objectively the highest paid independent artists ever.

That's always the case with study vs experiment. If you didn't control for all the variables but one, you can't make a conclusion about cause. I think the honest thing to do is to include alternate hypotheses; or at least men

Because the audience is discouraged from screaming and they're less intoxicated?

Just to clarify: you think it's fair that less than 20% of what you pay to Spotify goes to artists?
113.
by hashkb 5y ago
That's fair. There is also a category (I'm thinking musical instruments, sports equipment, vim) that grows with you. You might miss out (or worse, quit guitar) because you were too cheap to ever figure out what you were missing.

Except at the end you own a house and maybe some land. Usually people with a mortgage they planned for don't describe themselves this way.

Many of the standard unix tools are not written in sh. They're written in C. Am I missing something in your comment?

Nope, we don't have any fowl here other than domesticated chickens and the occasional wild turkey family. Also Wild Turkey. The word "peacock" is now only really useful in streaming TV.

And the difference is what? If I have no "talent" on guitar but I practice for thousands of hours until I can "trick" you into thinking you're listening to Hendrix...

Because they don't realize how bad Zoom's bad acts could be for them. People didn't feel that cigarettes were bad for them. People don't feel like McDonald's is bad for them.
