It seems to be more relevant in some electrical engineering subfields.

I'm on a phone, I think that's the difference.

Yeah the goal is actually to avoid the queen while visiting every space. Eventually I clicked "Help" and learned that.

That and some explanatory text as to what the game actually is. My first thought was to try to capture the queen.

Isn't symbiotic metabolism a hypothesis for how cells ended up with mitochondria?

You're right, but it will still work as written.

It actually does (to an extent). There are BEGIN and END blocks (not used that much in regular scripting but they exist). There are also a bunch of perl command flags that can make things more awk-ish or sed-ish. This random blog post gives

I doubt that this is the logic but there are different standards of evidence. If the traveler faces a criminal charge they'll get an attorney and the government will need to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. In a civil case, it

They weren't hunter-gatherers, they were pastoral and nomadic. Their diet was a lot of milk and meat. They even had a fermented milk drink that was highly praised in Marco Polo's book.

Seconding this, having this flexibility allows your organization to be flexible in the real world.

Not sure how big your team is but IME the larger team only increases the need for admin tools and makes lots of ad hoc bash/SQL console sessions more dangerous. Even at a small size (a dozen or even fewer devs) I recommend doing what i

This is a better formulation of what I was getting at. If you have someone who can do the work, there is a lot to be gained from trying to fix the incentives because capable developers don't grow on trees.

I wonder how the workers in the OP would react to being able to leave early if they finished a set amount of work. "If we can get X,Y, and Z done you can take Friday off." Maybe the appetite for adding complexity would decrease. I

The other thing I've run into in a similar context is perfectly performed manual work ("you didn't know about the merge function, so you manually typed the 15,000 rows of data into Excel?" And invariably, after coding it

That depends on the systems they use. I appreciate the OP for making at least one office give a moment's thought to it.

It took more than a minute tell me that there's a laptop with both an OLED display and an e-ink display. Is there a writeup of these laptops somewhere? I just don't have the patience for video.

On an individual level it's not particularly hard to do for a little while when you're young. The only problem is healthcare.

But TFA says that they could prevent the release of new products, so would that mean you can't update your front end (even to fix a bug) until the offending code is removed?

I'm left a bit conflicted by what conclusions to draw from this effort. How much of this is due to how much easier it is to publish something these days? Every statistics package spits out publication-ready charts and tables, Latex&#x2

I think the so much more/hard to even describe is sort of a problem? There is a lot to it, and in my experience it's a very long road to getting your first problem solved. There are a lot of very cool pieces but I want it to be so

I wonder about going the other way, adding more short words that make the game flow better (how about VI? Or just allow any two letter combination?). My experience having briefly gotten into competitive scrabble 15 years ago is that memoriz

The two letter words and the common q-without-u words are enough to unlock a much more entertaining version of the game than the one you can play with a normal vocabulary. Since you already know most of them you're only memorizing a f

The last silent generation (those a bit too young to fight in WW2 but born before the baby boom) was created by the distribution of massive new rewards. A lot of people were born poor but quickly became middle class. The system worked for t

Care to expand on the unwanted factors? This is an interesting post and I want to hear more.

I've seen several 85+ year old individuals active in various science and technology fields. So even someone in their 70s might start an MS and then have a decade or more to make use of it. That's not what's happening here, bu

Yeah I much prefer keeping the deleted column as a boolean and then having a log table. I've done the timestamps instead of boolean thing before and it leads to two problems: 1. What happens when the record is "un-deleted?" N

Yes, I seriously expect to collect it. Keep in mind aging millenials will be a pretty enormous voting block and, given birth rates, we won't have the same large younger generation to balance us that we were to the Baby Boomers.

I also seem to run into performance problems using IDEs (even on recent, high end hardware) while vim remains fast. If nothing else, the performance characteristics of vim are predictable (to me, after all these years) and there are various

My (lack of?) understanding is that early humans and some of our later pre-human ancestors were big insect eaters. Finding flowers beautiful makes sense, but I was recently in the desert and I found that landscape beautiful. That feels more
