He was prone to broken bones starting in high school, but kept playing basketball because he was quite good at it despite all the recovery downtime. ESPN did a writeup: https://web.archive.org/web/20240528203417/ht

Sounds like the sort of program that'd give you a 0 on an assignment if it worked perfectly but emitted a compiler warning under Sun Studio

This thinking is taught in MBA programs but does not map onto real businesses. If you're in the ice cube business and you made the profoundly unwise decision to set up vending machines in Inuit communities, you don't recover by la

I've been on the receiving end of that kind of "reorganization" and this didn't look like that. EDIT: Specifically, replacements were not "cheap".

The reason the word "inept" keeps coming up is just how opaque and senseless to the rank and file the January 2023 layoffs were. High performers, low performers, newest hires, most tenure: we saw all kinds of heads roll. I saw a t

Thinking about my own usage patterns, when I'm working from home my laptop is VPNed to somewhere reasonably close lag-wise, but certainly not within 50 miles of my house. Meanwhile my phone is studiously checking my inbox using either

The novel /referenced/ is Children of Ruin, the sequel, which is just as amazing. I assume the author is referring to the diptych by its first part's name. Small discrepancy which might confuse exactly the readers who would e

Probably the wee Brother 3200-something you can find at any office supply store. We had a rebranded sibling sold by Dell for a decade. CUPS likes them. They're slow, but they work.

Libraries don't let you check out books which can't be replaced economically. You might have heard the word "circulating" in the context of libraries: stuff from Tom Clancy and Harper Lee and Kevin Feige circulate. Out-o

The new high (secondary) school treated her like a new student, not one with a year of comically poor performance. This isn't about college or university; it's about the last few years of compulsory education, which often set the

$150 for 50Mbps is what I'm paying for Comcast Business, and they haven't been able to render an invoice for months.

I commented similarly elsewhere, but in my experience UPS won't ship more than one or two packages without an account. Red flags will definitely be raised if you try to smurf package shipments.

Googler here. I've flagged this (especially the part about the dropped billing case) internally. Note that this was posted to HN around midnight Pacific, so it's quite possible nobody from the Firebase team had seen it yet.

Hi, I manage the team. Do you have some recent examples I can show to the higher-ups? Our incentives are built around quality of work, not speed, so what you're describing is definitely not working as intended.
