It's shocking to me reading about some of the litigation involved in that case. While I can appreciate that there are interest groups that want to ensure affordable housing is built, all approvals should have come to a grinding halt un

With most human endeavours people need to be able to do both. Having no context switching, and only deep work is going to lead to outcomes that are divorced from the reality of the business. These kinds of divisions were tried in the middle

Executives typically do face consequences for making poor decisions. But the nature of their work means the outcome horizons are often way off in the future. C-suite leaders who perform poorly are eventually removed by the board and shareho

More like if you take some cellophane and crinkle it up. The thicker parts block more light than the thinner parts, so if you look at the shadows, you'll see structures that aren't representative of the shape of the material.

In maths, this does seem very dependent on what work your peers and community recognize as progress. Maybe problems that are more and more trivial should be considered acceptable to publish, simply as being a contribution in filling in gaps

The other problem I see large enterprises dealing with when it comes to K8s is the lack of cultural change in developer and infrastructure processes. Traditional deployment models also have ways to separate the network, from the security, f

From what I see, a lot more productivity can still be extracted from existing technology if only people would try to use it more. Configuring software is regularly more complicated than it needs to be. And software developers are tied in to

I've started using Reddit less and less. It used to be a great place to interact with other people who were deeply engaged and knowledgeable about hobbies, interests, and even professions. But over time the average response to my quest

It's interesting that Tesla has chosen not to use geofencing for passive keyless entry since the app knows where the car was last parked. It would make sense that if it receives a cryptographic challenge from the car, it would only res

The choice to provide support seems to be on an app by app basis. I get support for YT Premium, Google Pay, My Pixel, and all of my Google Home products. But I can't get support for Google Chrome for example. The support I do get is ex
