Nah. If you know just one person acted on this information in a way that caused harm (say you were fired), that would be sufficient. If one person asked, and then spread the information causing harm and backlash that would be sufficient (bo

I thought that was where the article was heading when it mentioned that horizontal was better (and the unstated fact that mono was horizontal), but it still took me a minute to realize that the 45 degree pickups are equivalent to midside. I

I'm not convinced that there isn't more to the story than that. People (including Justine who implemented MMAPing the model and knows how to monitor memory use properly) are seeing that much of the file isn't being paged into

FM was more popular for music since it is higher quality, while both work fine for voice, and AM licenses can often transmit further. So it made economic sense for talk radio stations to buy AM licenses instead of FM. That said with fewer p

Yeah, at my employer changes in benefits have always rolled out to non-represented and union employees at different times depending on the negotiation period for each union. I'm curious as to where the line is drawn here. A google sear

Every bank I have used in the US has limits and time delays for ACH transfers. While you can take out more with a check, practically speaking those take longer to process than an ACH transfer. And you already mentioned the limits with Debit

I have to admit that after a lifetime of dealing with banking hours and having to wait days for ACH transfers, it is a bit of Schadenfreude to see the same happen to a bank itself.

I suppose it depends on your background and goals. Most non-techies I've worked with find it easier to learn Arduino than an entire Linux stack. On the other-hand, if you have existing software that you want to move over to a small sys

That isn't what is happening in either the original bug for the Google Pixel Markup tool or this bug in the Windows Snipping Tool. What is happening is that the software is overwriting the original image with the new one, but not trunc

It is extremely common for me to realize I don't like the screenshot I took, and to save the replacement over the original file. It is pretty common for me to be more selective about what is in the replacement, and hence for it to be s

I don't see this spiraling. It affects less than 1% of the population, and government jobs tend to pay lower than equivalent private sector jobs so this is more about the government trying to remain competitive. The private sector won&

I find these fairly comprehensive writeups to be useful, because even if you would never use the more complex replacements, it makes it easy to verify that yup this is really the best you can do with pure javascript, I'll use a library

Mostly, but if they aren't, is it because they keep getting tasks that are genuinely hairier than we expected, or because they are slacking and then making excuses? If you distribute work completely randomly then eventually it should a

Yes many of the things I listed are just as easy to track with WFH, and even before WFH online interactions were a significant part of those. It is the showing up, putting the hours, and not wasting too much time part that is hard to track

Yes. I've never been a manager, but when working as technical lead productivity was the one thing I've never bothered trying to measure, as a metric or even an informal impression. Estimating how long something is going to take is
