There's such things as "weighted blankets." Maybe try? Not endorsing or recommending. I've never tried, probably never will. Just an FYI.

Frankly, despite your caveats, I think this is a reckless and hurtful thing to think and say. Unless you have sources, it's just a dismissive logical extreme. Sure we can find some non-mentally ill people who want to be homeless. But l

Not really accurate in the context of your parent. 82% of people might live in HDB, but HDB has long expanded beyond providing affordable housing to the poor. Further, these units are sold and can be rented out. In Singapore, you can be liv

I'm not sure I'd say the headline is clickbait. It's describing a correlation from a new paper. Seems pretty non opinionated to me. There's a couple places within the article that's more superficial though.

Ok, so that assertion was pretty controversial, but, honest question, what mechanism do you use for mentoring/learning/growth? Code review is the only other activity that I've seen that can have the same type of impact, but I

Thanks. I also have a history with tests and I continue to struggle to find the right balance not just between coverage, but also unit vs integration (and within unit, between behavioural and implementation). I think this uncertainty based

Tests don't cost time. Not true 100% of the time, but it's the right "default" mindset, because it's true the majority of the time.

My experience is that what you're saying is true if it's being done dogmatically. I've been a subject (victim?) of this before. But strategically applied? I think it's a pretty big win. Specifically, I'm talking abo

The money might ultimately end up in the bank account of the same company that runs veal farms, but it's still sending a trackable signal. Same with cars, buy a Bolt or a Prius and the money still goes to GM and Toyota. But the signal

Seems like the wrong question, at least with respect to your MBP. I want to know if we can get compelling competition to macOS & MBP? Use that platform as a trojan horse to win over developers.
