Finally a link in this thread that will fuel my confirmation bias.

Not nearly as hacker-y as this, but I'll plug Reflect here. Probably my favorite tool for this so far. Best continually-improving UX, but there's a subscription cost. I happily pay it.

I have been here for a while, in the earliest days of the gig there was a mini-rush of startups to Chatt. Low cost of living, relatively small/quiet city, access to basically all major southern cities (barring southern Florida) by eith

I can understand that. I have to follow through with logic for why the worry won’t help. “What is the upside for me if I continue to worry?”

I’d encourage comment OP to continue writing comments online, so that you can learn. The damage done in misinformation here is probably extremely limited. If comment OP was trying to misinform on purpose, it’s a different story as there’s n

While the most prevalent narrative in threads like this sounds something like, "back in my day, we weren't so scared!", there's a few assumptions being made. The primary one: people are overestimating the risks associate

Which ultimately means the game becomes a step more towards exclusive, for better or worse. Probably for worse.

Your inbox is worth much more than your money, if they can take both they will. They are already charging for additional storage, so I expect it will just continue on that path.

I substituted "Being a dad _can be and commonly is_ a long, emotional, draining, and lonely journey", perhaps unfairly. This could really just be seen as an expanded version of "being a dad is hard", which some people wi

As someone who experiences medical anxiety regularly, this reminds me of basically every dermatologist visit I’ve had. The doctors who cut biopsies out of your skin don’t seem realize how much you’ll think about there words when you leave.

I take some issue with the comparison as an either-or. Automation in its correct place shouldn't replace human effort - it should augment that effort. In this case, it seems one step removed to just do both of these approaches, startin

My theory is that this has to do with our difficulty dealing with delayed gratification. Tell people a short number now = immediate praise, long term pain. Tell people a higher estimate, immediate negative; finish in time = delayed gratific

The most important thing I’ve learned about estimation is that, especially in larger/more established companies, it really only matters in two basic scenarios: - Order of magnitude differences - hard deadlines (like a public event you

At a former job when I had some organizational influence, we started doing this and called them “team weeks.” My goal was to sell the week x team model to avoid constant streaming of tiny straggling tasks. (It was an agency.) I think the mo

Makes sense - the 172 is one of the most common training planes, getting a TON of low-altitude hours in the pattern. Also because of the low altitude flights 172s will probably run rich. Granted, they aren't burning a ton of fuel per h

Okay, so we end Scrum… now what? I understand the frustration. Even as a manager I can feel some disconnect. This series of assertions is this person’s observations. It seems both one-sided and purely deconstructive. Even if it’s right, doe

Congrats on the launch folks! Would you mind outlining why SAML specifically is hairy? How is it different from OAuth (for people who aren't doing a bunch of auth work on a daily basis, or haven't reached a scale where SAML is an

The problem is that most people don’t understand The chain reaction problem here. Watching one calming video is unlikely to lead you to become addicted to calming videos. YouTube is optimized for the hook, and calming videos aren’t hooky. T

Think of your experience and context as “ground floor.” You have a lot of it, which makes your starting point much higher than your colleague’s. Some things you are likely naturally taking for granted, he may have no context for. You can’t

- Don’t write code until you need it. This results in less code, which is directly correlated with ease of change. - If you write lots of separated classes but then use them directly inside other classes, you’ve defeated the point. When you

You're the right person to ask this I think - what is likely the attributable cause of death responsible for this? Mostly the overdoses, or other disease-related things?

There are studies that show not this level of extreme, but that there is what is called “wasted harm” - the harm done by 3 packs a day is not 3x the harm done by 1 pack a day, and 1 pack a day for 5 years is thus worse than 5 packs a day fo

Depends on the goal. If the risk factor is homogenized, then the variable researched can be isolated theoretically. However, this doesn’t allow you to test for interaction between those variables. In the study for example, they identify an

For most (not Peek), memory and knowledge are necessarily linked since memory tends to work better when there is a previously existing connection to attach a new piece of information to. So, we don't tend to remember facts for the sake

I get the frustration, I really do. But I think part of the issue here is the idea that time is fungible like money. That saving time by looking at Trello cards instead of meeting face to face is somehow more effective. It might be. It migh

Deterrent is, I think traditionally at least, considered “negative reinforcement.” So, “I don’t want to end up like that person, so I won’t do what they did to end up in their situation.”
