My kids’ school added a new weapons scanner as kids walk in the door. It’s powered by “AI.” They trust the AI quite a bit. However, the AI identifies the school issued Lenovo laptops as weapons. So every kid was flagged. Rather than stoppin

It’s because they have the same time velocity, you don’t notice it. Like when you’re riding in a car and toss a ball up from your lap. The ball is moving at the same speed as you so you don’t even notice its speed since it travels along wit

I think the good news is that we can adapt to enjoy how warm it is in hell. So it’s bad news that we’re going to hell, good news is that we’ll eventually like it.

More good tools are always great. But I don’t think random clutter is always good. Fortunately we don’t have to see it so it’s not like it blocks my vision. But I just wanted to note that the idea of “anything is good” is not really true an

It’s broken in the sense that the applicant thinks they are the most important part of the process and should have a process that is very convenient and efficient for them. So not actually broken, but someone idealistic or naive or clueless

Every doctor I visit makes me sign a financial agreement before performing services. It says something like “you owe whatever we bill you and if insurance doesn’t pay, you must” Good luck holding the line, what usually happens is we get stu

It seems like insurance companies don’t care about things that burden the customer or provider. Lots of onerous forms and weird processes that are wrongly documented. I had infuriating situations where their directory showed a provider, the

I’d like to see a video of this working as it seems improbable. Techs are legal geniuses but seems like they’d have a script that boils down to “so sue us.”

I’m talking about particular user stories, not the overall estimate. For projects it’s almost always a budget issue “how much money and time does it need?” And that’s important because, like money is hard to get and $1 is different than $2M

For any tasks that depend on it. If I need you to do something and I can’t start until you’re done, it’s useful to know if you think you’ll be done tomorrow or next week. That lets me plan my upcoming days.

I think they should have some control over their manufacturing. It’s not so much that the yogurt company has a counter intelligence division, it’s that the yogurt company didn’t detect someone putting poison into a few hundred truckloads. I

For the US, at least, I am forced to confirm that those 5000 raspberry pis aren’t going to a terrorist organization. Isn’t the EU the same way? So it’s not that it’s a military export, but that it’s a sanctioned organization (Iran and Hezbo

I feel like it’s reasonable to expect a brand to be aware if some organization, even Mossad, placed explosives in 5000 of their items. It means this company is incompetent and should not be trusted. It’s one thing to have malware injected i

S/M/L is about as good as it gets. I’ve tried using story points but I think the point isn’t to have exact estimates but to figure out if 1) it’s too big for the spring and if so break it down into smaller; 2) is this someone a si

I disagree as when you have a team of 8 people understanding whether something is one day of work or 10 is a big difference. I don’t think you need precise estimation down to the hour, but knowing if someone can do 4 things in a sprint or j

Scrum is not necessarily weekly. You can pick any period for the sprint length. I think I’ve seen two week as the most typical.

I’ve never had variable sprint lengths, but picking the internal is exactly how I’ve done agile for years. The whole point, I thought, is that you’re just frequently releasing so you want some fixed interval rather than adjusting it based o

I think estimates are wrong but useful and necessary. I don’t think it’s a strawman argument at all. For simple activities you can get by with no estimates but with dependencies estimates become more and more necessary.

I find Agile is like democracy. It does suck, but it’s better than everything else. What would you prefer besides agile? I had a conversation with a young devTM who was arguing that estimating is hard and always inaccurate so we shouldn’t e

What does “sprints are involuntary” mean? My team chooses the characteristics of the sprint. It’s not like they are randomly assigned. It’s a collaboration between leadership, team members and non-team stakeholders. It’s not like there’s an

> Also that's a dumb analogy. Here's a better one: A knife that breaks 20% of the time when you try to cut pork, because you didn't buy a separate pork-cutting knife. Excel doesn’t break 20% of the time. It rarely breaks.

I don’t think it would have much of an impact. And I hate those forced wizards and tutorials as I use excel in lots of environments. I remember Excel team writing about why they didn’t have advanced settings to turn it off. I don’t remember

How a knife that breaks 0.00001% of the times because it’s used a billion times a day? If excel broke 20% of the time, I’d agree. But it rarely breaks. It’s just widely used. I’ve used Excel for decades. I just set the data types on my colu

Excel is not a genetics tool. It has millions if use cases, many more important than genetics. Excel didn’t care about this. It’s like people complaining because sugar gets misused. Or that murderers stab people with knives. The solutions i

You think Excel should make special accommodations because genetics authors misuse it? Excel has been acting this way since before bioinformatics existed. Authors need to use their tools properly.
