Earlier this year I needed to get something notarized. Went to the UPS store 3 blocks from my work, paid $5 per signature (=$10), walked out 5 minutes later. It's a hassle, but for a $500 transaction it really isn't such a big dea

He didn't assume such a thing. He stated how he personally would feel in such a situation. And yes, generalizing from one's own experiences and emotions is one valid way of interpolating how others would react in a similar situati

From that standpoint, frequent releases can also make things harder, depending on the tightness your feedback loop. If it takes you two days for user reports to percolate to you, it doesn't help if there've been 16 releases since

I'm doing that this semester with a Tabata timer app - I'd seen my wife workout with one and thought it would be good for textbook skimming. I have the timer ding every 60 seconds, and at that point I'm on the next page (unle

I guess part of this is that I'd prefer the concierge to hand me a list of restaurants than have to have a whole conversation about what the options are. I don't want expertise, I want curated information.

Those are all dev kits, rather than consumer devices. I don't have hardware experience, and have no interest (in my current professional context) in ordering casings, mechanical buttons, or anything else. I just want to feed it a webho

Here at Penn we have a research platform where we try to motivate (among other things) medication adherence. We have integrated with various devices in the past that automatically track when the meds are taken, but for some reason the vendo

Medication is one tool. (This includes other stimulants such as caffeine which some ADHD people self-medicate with.) No tool is sufficient in isolation, though - different people need different sets of tools. Here's a book I've fo

It's not about making a collective threat, it's letting management know that the new conditions are making you consider options "up to and including departure", and that you think the other devs may be in the same boat.
