That’s a great thread, thank you. Do note that one of the replies calls his fundamental thesis into question, though: empties are sitting on chassis not due to regulation, but due to lack of equipment for stacking them higher.

The company still needs a CEO, so it’s not a matter of “fire her and spend the money on 30 developers.” (At what, 100K per year including benefits and overhead? Good luck with that.) Instead, it’s a matter of “fire her and hire a replacemen

It’s probably because they don’t think it would bring in enough revenue to be worth the effort. I don’t think it would either.

I hear this complaint frequently, and I always wonder if the people making it are well-informed about supply chain logistics or are just parroting what they’ve heard elsewhere. Because my understanding of TPS and Lean is that it solved seri

I have exactly that in my book, in chapter 4. The chapter outline is online and will give you a good idea of what to look for: https://www.jamesshore.com/v2/books/aoad2/invest_in_agility

I enjoyed the article, even though I didn’t agree with all its assertions. Unlike so many people who criticize the Agile movement, this author knows what they’re talking about, both with regards to Agile and the foundational ideas of softwa

The problem I have with discussions about “productivity” (including 10x engineer chest-beating) is that no one ever defines what they mean by the word. Is it lots of lines of code? Is it clean design and architecture that’s easy to maintain

“Agile” isn’t an acronym, so you don’t need to capitalize it. (It isn’t a methodology, either. It’s a philosophy of development or, if you prefer, a family of methodologies, such as Scrum, XP, and Kanban.)

This was a disappointingly shallow rah-rah piece by someone who sells remote working supplies. No real lessons here.

That’s not what the video says. It says (and quotes the relevant standard) that they’re optional, and used for manufacturing purposes.

It’s a work style—work 25 min, then take a 5 min break. The team that invented it used a tomato-shaped kitchen timer, hence the name.

Yes, this apology is made every time people criticize Tesla’s term. But I think it’s misleading nonetheless—what really matters is a layperson’s interpretation of the term, particularly when it comes to something as dangerous as “Autopilot.

The book that introduced the term, “Domain-Driven Design” by Eric Evans, is thick but excellent.

What is a “hard road” and how does it lead to higher rates of hard braking (-0.3g) and turning (lateral 0.4g) and <1s following distance at speeds over 50mph?

by jdlshore 5y ago
Their model doesn’t include driving speed, so what’s simplistic here is Electrek’s interpretation of it.
948.
by jdlshore 5y ago
I don’t see how higher speed equates to hard braking and turning. I regularly drive 75mph on the I-5 in Washington (state) and never have to hard brake or turn. It’s just a matter of not following too closely—I aim for about 2s following di

You seem to think Tesla’s system is perfectly safe. I’ve seen nothing that indicates that—just the opposite, in fact.

This thread seems a bit bizarre to me. At the risk of sounding like a Tesla apologist—I’m not, but I know there’s a fair few out there—the author has two main complaints: 1) In an emergency situation, Tesla didn’t send an emergency tow truc

This is reductionist nonsense. I can easily imagine scenarios where Apple disagrees with China treats its oppressed citizens, but chooses not to speak out against them.

Depends on what the backend systems were doing. They may have been data feeds that could be cached, with the “front-end” actually being a whole app with its own back end and database. Or perhaps taking orders and queueing them up for later

That doesn't follow. If this is about tax evasion (according to other commenters; I haven't read the article), then it doesn't say anything about what could be gained by increasing the tax rate.

FYI, fire safes aren’t necessarily waterproof. They’ll protect your documents from the fire but not the firefighters’ water, or the drop through the burned out floor to the basement. Mine, for example, requires an additional treatment to be

Exactly. This is a terrible article that's designed to prey on people's FOMO. The basic financial advice he derides is solid advice. Do that first. Starting a business is very hard and often fails.

The GDPR is already technology neutral. You're thinking of the cookie law, which is different (but often confused with the GDPR). Or perhaps you've been hoodwinked by people who are using annoying consent pop-ups to pretend to adh

It goes through cycles. In the 90s, it was called 4GLs ("fourth generation programming language"). Then RAD tools. (Or maybe RAD then 4GL? I don't remember.) The latest evolution of this cycle seems to be low-code/no-cod
