The first time I used it I lost out on a dream house I wanted to buy. I’m pretty sure I cut the asking price by about 50k with my low initial offer. But I was so over confident that the seller wanted to sell to me over the others that I did

I was looking at Mac mini m1 on the German Apple store, for 799.

Entry level m1 is a quite a bit cheaper than that in euros.

I think you’re talking about a risk reduction ROI. = Reduction in risk / cost of compliance - 1 I saw this in a security context https://www.cisecurity.org/blog/the-one-equation-you-need-to...

Is there any flexibility on the public sector requirement? And is there a possibility that work experience counts as a credential of sorts? Perhaps you could work in the private sector for two years or so and come back to the public sector.

If you read Uncle Bob’s post he does say “tools are fine” and that he’s invested in them too. What’s so bad with adding discipline into the mix too?

That was really only the case in the last decade and now no longer the case with M1 chips. Before that we had a wonderful plethora of different personal computers.

The iPhone - light years ahead of what I was using at the time. Multimedia CDs with video and sound, and in particular multimedia encyclopaedias. That was mind blowing to have all that media in one place and in an interactive format.

The ironic thing a lot of the popular theming on Windows and Linux is to make it to look like Mac! I was thinking it would be great if someone redid the tiled wallpapers in windows 3.1 to be hi-res and realistic. The one with the leaves wou

I’ll go ahead and say it -compulsory education is up to age 15 in China and “Apple discovered additional workers as young as 14 years old during an audit”. It’s not worth closing the supplier down immediately for this. I also expect they ha

How come you use your Amiga regularly? Is there something specific you use it for?

Is it me or have we come full circle on this? I remember a not long ago when internet companies were told they were publishers and liable for their content and then Zuckerberg asking for more regulation. I can’t keep up.

I wish functional advocates would stop saying this, it just isn’t true. There any many types of bugs and Haskell may help prevent some of those.

Well training for much more mundane events should cover it. I wonder if they’re personal laptops otherwise IT security would have an auto lock enabled.

Logged on, unlocked and unattended? That shouldn’t be allowed to happen.

I wonder if society will get wise to this strategy. I know on Twitter we often find the shameless talk show host peddling some deranged conspiracy and the best response is to block or counter without engaging with the tweet (or just get off

I like the idea but it’s a bit concerning that everyone would be expected to build models in Python. You’d think there would be enough reuse and structure that it wouldn’t be needed or an application could be built to simplify the construct

Some countries would allow it. The idea sounds a bit like BetFair (they set up an exchange, you name your odds and see if someone takes the other side) but for smaller pools.

You can have manual tests (automated through VBA if you wanted) and reviews. The review tools are lesser known features built into Excel. I know from my experience accounting firms will take your spreadsheets and code too and audit it. I’ve

I’ve done this type of numerical work in code and it’s much more difficult than it first appears. It’s not like web development this stuff is much more like real computer science. Tools like Excel and Matlab exist for a reason.

It is well known in the Excel modelling world and a lot of people use Excel for modelling. I’m not sure coding these things up is always a great idea. I’ve done various types of programming over the years but in Excel you get things like de

I don’t get why you want to use your phone? Is there some added convenience? To create you could use your phone’s camera to record and post videos, you could do some writing maybe even use speech to text conversion, there are various synths

Do you feel like this article is straining at bringing monopolies into the explanation? I think the “commoditise your complements” holds regardless of whether the business is, or wants to be, a monopoly. Joel’s article and the Hal Varian wo

I’m not convinced this strategy can help create monopolies. If I can help create demand for my complement then that would make sense to boost my product but effectively creating a monopoly with my product is another matter.
