Am I wrong that this motivation comes from investors valuing the total stock price (and ultimate selling of those stocks) over continued paid dividends? This preference has always bugged me as personally I'd prefer to have a consistent

Facebook's biggest strength for me was in navigating the first couple months of a new acquaintance becoming a friend. Sharing numbers and managing all that is cumbersome. Adding someone on Facebook was easy and if the relationship didn

I don't think you are getting it right. The author has some behaviors and has observed that some of them may have come simply from observing other autistic people. There is a core question of where did the behavior originate, and that

I'm the counterpoint to that belief. I started programming professionally in 2010, learned vim around 2012. My work environment was just better suited for a command line editor and it was nano, vim or emacs. Vim won. Since then, I&#x27

Vim isn't a silver bullet to productivity. Here's a parallel story: I tried Emacs. I was frustrated and confused and felt stupid. Then I realized I had so many other tools at my disposal, I'd just use those instead. Here I am

This. This. This. Everyone thinks they can interpret their tests perfectly. Ultimately, the candidates are likely better off. The coded message here is not that they didn't use obvious design patterns but that they didn't code in

My summary of the article: Most data is or will soon be trash. Efforts should be made to get to that designation as fast as possible from the moment of data generation.

Many bars will have a default policy for unclosed tabs. My local bar assumes a 10% gratuity and calls it a day, so walk out as you please. Though it's the type of place where the bartenders notice 20+% tips and will serve you significa

Ah, this explains all the push back I got from Warby Parker about not providing a lens prescription. I'd already used Zenni before and gotten used to treating my glasses like what they are...a simple product with lens ground to a speci

Why does everyone accept time estimates are accurate outside of software? Has no one hired a contractor to build out a bathroom, paint a few walls? Commissioned an artist for a sculpture? It's my experience that anything that can run

I switched from screen to tmux some years ago. Long enough that I can't remember exactly why. I held off for a while, but remember finding a handful of small cases where tmux was a bit smoother. Nuanced type things. If you're usin

It's the same argument for Python over C development. Prototype in python and migrate portions to C as performance is needed. You'll often find that large portions of your codebase will never need to migrate out of the "proto

From the civility side, interrupting is at best confrontational but more likely a social sin. From the interruption side, failing to interrupt is standoffish. The reaction of each side to the other is unbalanced, but the severity of civilit

I'd read your point as splitting hairs. In either case, the interruption has happened because of the belief that the speaker is not contributing new, valuable information to the conversation.

I had a similar coworker. Worse still because they were a junior who couldn't yield the floor to anyone, regardless of seniority. Their eyes would become a little bewildered as anyone talked over them (read as 'everyone') and

"You're not listening" depends on the context. In a calm conversation...well I've never heard it in a calm conversation. In a heated conversation, it can be you misunderstand or just as likely they're poorly communi

I'd expect there are more cultures and households out there than not that punish any form of interruption to the point where its members would see it not just as confrontation but as a sin. To take a view that casts these people as st

I've followed Dynamicland for a bit. I'm completely enamored with the project, and yet I agree with you, the implementation is...not right. The goal is admirable but the approach feels like a step away from it, not towards it. Sti

I really like this idea. So, broken out, would the development process look like: 1) Write code 2) Open interpreter (ipython) 3) Import code and call it manually 4) This magic library will have observed and created a testcase module from yo

Much of an architect's role won't be visible to developers beneath them and -- like a manager -- involves coordinating with other projects or other business units. That a specific project exists at all to work on or is otherwise a
