My experience wasn't in the trades, but I've worked 10-12 hour days with short weeks and had good results. 4 day weeks do work if you can arrange them. Especially for developers frequently in the flow state where interruptions jus

Make it 25 minutes instead. Now there's a break of time in-between allowing your brain to properly context switch so your night's sleep isn’t messed up.

Since you've already started, can you do a benchmark of a pair of copies started at same time? One copy operation is the little files and deep hierarchy. The other copy operation is just a big file. Both operations start at same time a

Except that after you hire that model, you later discover she set up a multi-million-dollar per day cocaine operation to fly drugs into the country to fund her lavish lifestyle.

On that basis I'm surprised they didn't just spike a town's water supply. Flexible ethics and all that.

I wonder how many initiatives were created solely on the basis that "the enemy are doing it or already have it". I can't help but think the soviets spent a lot of time trolling the US into creating exactly what they wanted. E

The one real answer I see is that reporting itself still needs to be policed. If someone wants to post identifying details about a person that committed a crime then they are also agreeing / required to update that post as time goes on

That would make me frown. Just saying.

Freenode is kind of like that nightclub that stopped being cool, stopped having good music and began watering down the drinks. Everyone's gone to the new place. Basically the same crew running it.

I feel like there's a place for home users to rent a tape drive, write everything to tape and return the drive. Uber for tape-based storage. You don't need to own the drive. Just the tapes. Maybe not even the tapes. Dropbox using

Fair enough. Sometimes links to next page get messed up.

Am I right that this is book is 6 web pages? If not I feel like I'm missing something (which is completely possible).

I haven't etched a pcb for years. This will be a good weekender.

Is there a PCB shortage as well? I feel like that couid put a dampener on the proceedings. Asking for a friend .

Not being in the bubble makes it easier to see the absurdities of the US system. Also, watching journalists go after Trump for the wrong reasons was quite an eye opener. Especially when the many valid reasons to go after Trump were often no

If I search for something and it exists, I expect to see it. If necessary put the ad after the result I expect to see. Even with them labelled as ads. That is a better approach. The "its just how it is" kind of narrative isn’t gre

The whole point of gaining monopoly status is to be able to use and apply these kinds of manipulations. This doesn't make it right however. Epic is one of a few large enough to make the necessary waves to have an impact. But behind Epi

If I search for something and its found, I expect it to be the first result. Not an ad for its competitor. I hate the manipulation of rankings that interfere in this way.

Why retire at all? Depending on what you want to do, why not just do it for as long as you can?

Fun with extra twists and turns you weren't expecting. Usually quite an adventure, some unintended learning and growth. Hopefully a story worth telling. As opposed to the obvious doing an activity for fun.

Given how many people die from medical mistakes, many of which can be traced to fatigue, maybe we'd be better off with two doctors instead of one tired/exhausted fatigue zombie.

What's the effective lifespan of a new car now? Software will likely shorten it in many ways. Especially with subscription models being so tempting for manufacturers. As the decades progress, will we care? But the street will find uses

I think its more a case of the public not being aware of this non-investigation habit and not pressuring enough. At the same time I understand, there are so many issues on the table its a wonder anything gets done at all. Priorities and all

I feel like a bounty system for online crime might help. Let the free market figure out whether this is worth investigating / solving. Registered bounty hunters / investigators could take up the case and operate on it. I sense tha

This is how a lot of ideas get nonsensical holes put in them. There would be licenses, regulations, threat of lawsuit, qualifications and all sorts of other mandatory requirements. If someone wants to be cynical then, yes, a lot of these sa

$8.50 eh? When autonomous driving is a thing, uber etc will get really interesting. Maybe even cheaper but I'm not hopeful by much. Personally I'd suggest that autonomous vans will really shake things up. Especially the combinatio

Trust notwithstanding, it all depends on what your time is worth. What's an equivalent uber going to cost when autonomous driving is a real thing?
