That's why the developer has a manager who is a human who can talk to them and find out what they are working on, instead of a robot that can only process tickets created and tickets completed.

We can't even come up with an objective way to score software itself. So how in the world are we going to go even deeper and score the process and the people that create it? Sarah and Bob make clocks, but sometimes they make hats, and

For one headphone maybe, but I’m finding it harder to imagine a maneuver to grab one from each ear while you run past someone.

The older I get the more I empathy I have for people who aren’t as successful financially and the more I realize that I owe the majority of my own success to factors outside my control.

I have no idea what goes on in Greece or what incentive people would have to do that. But excess death numbers are higher than COVID deaths everywhere, so the numbers aren't likely that far off. Also my fiancee, an ER doctor, assures m

Tipping severs is the way our society works. By eating at table service restaurant you are implying that you are going to pay the server despite the fact that you have no intention to do so. It’s no different than your manager dicking you a

"the data they've seen so far is inconclusive" has connotations that I don't think the FDA has implied officially or unofficially.

That's true. States seems to be split on 60 vs 65 as the age cutoff for healthy adults.

It was less than a year before people started reporting it, and it took less than 2 years before a study was released by the Swedish health agency warning of increased narcolepsy risk in Children--not 4. Also the increased rate of narcoleps

The FDA set a meeting date for December 10th, that was at least somewhat arbitrary. They reportedly had no one working for 4 days during Thanksgiving break, so It's likely they could have just worked through Thanksgiving and had that m

Pretty much every state has a publicly available vaccine plan that you can read. The variance is pretty big even though it mostly follows the same progression. My stepdad can get the vaccine in phase 1b in his state, but not my mom. The sta

The US vaccination plan is state by state. In many states people working in food service and grocery stores, people under 60 who are overweight, have high blood pressure, asthma etc... will be offered the vaccine in phase 2. It’s not just d

If steam would give me the ability to make it so that reviews from users on "unsupported" platforms didn't impact my score I'd be a lot more willing to do that.

That’s a different argument. If most college students are lacking a skill, teaching it is by definition not remedial. A class on Ancient Greek isn’t remedial just because the top 1% of society that went to college in the 19th century learne

That’s fine now, but times change, and you change. Are you going to be happy after 20 years doing grunt work? Even if you are, the industry advances, and that kind of grunt work has a history of being automated away. Web masters probably fe

I was never required to write Marxist literary criticisms of poetry. I learned rhetoric. I learned to write clearly and concisely, and I learned to write persuasively. Correct grammar is not sufficient for effective communication.

Storing sequences in your phonological loop is a common tactic. Not sure whether it relates to ADHD or not. You can do it sub vocally without making sound.

I worked as a programmer for 7 years before I went back for my CS degree. It was 100% worth it just to fill in the gaps. A CS decree gave me building blocks to solve problems that has made me a much better developer.

1. The median age of death at 79, and 50% of people have 3+ diseases doesn't imply that "Nearly all of the people who die from COVID had a life expectancy of < 1 year" as you say. Those 3+ diseases you mention include diab

Those 2 numbers aren’t comparable. A 1% death rate with a disease as contagious as COVID means more than 50 million dead globally at some point (not everyone will get it but the majority will eventually). Near universal vaccination with a v
