I pretty much agree with all the article. Back in 2001, when Web Standards were on the rise, people used to validate their HTML code. It was shown as a badge of prestige when you had 0 errors. Semantic HTML was a hot topic and most of the d

This is not true. The moment you set a red line, you're making impossible for the lesser trained to join the wagon for getting a chance to climb the ladder. Also, you're making the capitalist not paying for not hiring lesser peopl

Price control doesn't work on healthcare. I give you an example: Spain, "free" healthcare: they realized people went to socialize to hospitals, making impossible to address the demand. People went to hospitals for headaches,

Which countries? Price control doesn't work. It generates scarcity and supply problems. The case against price controls is not merely an academic exercise, restricted to economics textbooks. There is a four-thousand-year historical rec

You can read Forty Centuries of Wage and Price Controls by Robert Schuettinger and Eamon Butler, first published in 1979. The case against price controls is not merely an academic exercise, restricted to economics textbooks. There is a four

Why you say theory, when you never readed about price controls in economic books: they're filled with factual data, not with opinions.

Price control is not a theory. There are several books, papers (Hayek, Mises, Friedman), topics that address this topic. If it is so good, why isn't implemented? It's the same argument than communism: if it is so good, why we don&

Why people downvoted this. Price control doesn't work. Just read any economic book and you will realize it's true. It hurts, but it's true. If price control works, then why prices never were freezed. Why don't freeze it

I never had the chance to use SGI's IRIX OS. I was teenager and the pricess where so prohibitive for such workstations. I had the luck to start a job where the owner had 15 Macs, among them, they throw me all the older models so I lear

Exactly. Slack people created a new communicational need. There were email, forums, etc. Even chats, but they created a good product that enhanced the need to have better chat system to work better. They weren't solving any major probl

I dislike the idea of the startup for "solving a problem". Problems are very specific, personal and not so broad as other options. In fact: 1. Not everyone has a problem. 2. Not everyone is aware is having a problem. 3. People bea

Windows 95 was a major step into OSes too. I remember how well done the UI was. It became silly in 98 and then on XP with crazy design styles that. I don't know if the original design team left Middle Earth, but in two years they'

I've been user of Microsoft, IBM's OS/Warp too. I liked a lot Windows 3.1 and the first Windows 95. They showed good level of work, not only in the guts of the OS but also the GUI. But those styles faded once I get back into

As a Macintosh user since System 7, I cannot be more in love with the old UIs and UX. I really enjoy the pixel era. Certainly, the introduction to OS X took Apple to a different level, but the OS 9 UI for me will be one of the best examples

My website is a combination of nice HTML + Functional CSS, all managed with Jekyll + Markdown, you can check it. http://minid.net/ it's blazing fast, 100% fluid.

Indeed. Some people never tried emmet on sublime or other syntax accelerators. You can write really fast HTMl without problem.

My personal website is generated with Jekyll. I use Jekyll because it's better for links, sections, and other automated things like "related posts". It would be a tiresome task to do it all manually. I respect this guy anyway

I do ask many many questions. Often I realized people fell onto "gut feeling" cases or other kinds of biases where empirical evidence never was presented. That's why it's important to ask.

I never said they're omniscient. But it sounds bad middle management than C-LEVEL bad management. When things are asked to be done, there's a process to know this. Nothing starts, at least, in serious companies, without measuring

I said "you should rely on the team expertise". Sadly, you're reading it wrong: if the criteria acceptance says feature X must output Y, then if we see that it outputs P just because someone didn't liked the initial agre

Where's your accountability? This what motivates is rushing carelessly because Manager X will fix your rush for you.

12 years experience here. I dislike the idea of the manager as "the mayordomo" of the team. I like the idea of being a facilitator, but having in mind the last word is on them. Accountability must be enforced to avoid design by co

My friend, there are many studies on nutrition. Many. From protein and mineral absortion to cause/efect due bad nutrition. Carnivore diet is 1000 better than vegan by the simply fact of the 15 nutrients. B12 is one of the most importan

Vegetarians get macronutrients from dairy, but they get it on minimums. Both vegetarians and vegans rely on suplements, sadly.
