For a counterpoint, it loads essentially instantly (less that 1s) on my machine, and includes an easy-to-find and semi-well-functioning in-store only filter, which autosuggests my local stores and remembers my choice. It does need to filter

Hmm. I think you are over-selling genomics as a tool for significant future advances in personalized medicine because it is only useful in a limited number of straightforward cases (as you say: easy phenotypes). After all, an individual&#x2

Isn't your DNA largely insufficient for determining phenotype, particularly locally as in the case of cancerous cells? It takes a tremendous amount of chemical and software processing to capture a snapshot of quantitative protein expre

Really, I don't think that the developer is "making excuses" here. Which makes it all the more unfortunate that the letter as written sounds like excuses. > The next question will be, "Why does it take 4.5 hours to

I'd almost argue that, in the example, the clients model wasn't insufficient. If you want to include "implement automated testing" in a small feature request without telling your clien, then your client is probably right

The idea is sound, but this letter is truly surprising to me. Instead of a succinct summary of what goes into the change, we get a long-winded narrative that reads to me as full of excuses. I think a more useful email would be a breakdown o

Happily, this extended to me (US citizen) while visiting and requiring stitches. No cost, wonderful people, even though I didn't have my insurance card with me at the clinic and they had to take my word on faith that I would call it in

I think it would be helpful if you gave a better example of a time where you struggled to collaborate. The examples you've given serve well to demonstrate that you prefer manuals and documentation while this person prefers examples and

I think the bigger problem is that A/B only measures certain things and following it blindly can have you descending in important ways that are hard to measure.

I'm thinking about the same thing, and this summer I took a two week Home Design/Build course at Yestermorrow (yestermorrow.org). I really recommend it as a way to work through your designs, both on the broad scale and in the spec

Yep. Unfortunately some folks are getting downvoted for reasonable criticisms that make no sense now that the post has been updated.

These kinds of tools are mostly about the input constraints, heuristics, and weights. I'd love to see more about this with more practical constraints (rectilinear rooms and hallways, minimum area for cafetaria/gym, etc) and additi

Understandably, a lot of people are balking at the idea that simple might come before correct. Code that is simple but not correct is not a solution. But the OP is not asserting that simple, incorrect code is a superior solution to complex,

Yeah. It seems to me that it's not so much that "war is illegal" as "certain countries have declared a monopoly on force and have the means to enforce it." Or at least try to. That's probably a good thing, but

Sure, and the relationship you have with your dog is probably "priceless", too, but that doesn't mean it should be trivially easy to get a three-figure loan to bring one home, and that animal shelters should charge three figu
