Ugh, Achilles tendonitis had me in pain for YEARS. My tendon took on a lot of scar tissue. Debridement surgery didn’t seem to help. Eventually wearing some negative-heel shoes (those goofy MBTs) did it. So destructive to my shape in the mea

I’d call it maybe still a bit too new for applications where enterprise-level funds or harm to human life is in scope if the software fails. But it’s getting there.

I’m not saying that Pleskov is a sociopath, but I’m beginning to see how sociopaths manage to make their way in the world without getting punished.

It really worries me how many people are so quick to forgive him and tell him so. In my family if someone cheated they got called a cheater and suffered consequences. At least, they would have, if someone did something like that. But my par

Quite; their Harvard Negotiation Project was the incubator for this line of research and their book one of the outcomes. It’s strange not to see it cited.

I hear all that, but you know how it is about writing - you can help dozen / hundreds / thousands of people at once. It’s probably worth it to write something and show it to some people.

Indeed it is a very mundane portmanteau that conveys...well, it does convey a reasonable amount, but it is devoid of...well, it is elegant, being...I don’t know, maybe it’s a good word for it.

Right? At least a cow has a chance to run away. But a carrot - it’s stuck in the ground, no legs, no sensory apparatus. It doesn’t have a chance.

In the game (sometimes derided as a “walking simulator”) Dear Esther, you start out in a bothy, which the narrator refers to in one of his first narrations.

You’re comparing a) word of mouth that might spread across parts of a company, maybe a little further, impacting you when you apply for a job, to b) a nationwide, government-run system that will be involved in a wide variety of life situati

But obviously the users are not the only or even major constituency here. These are UI components to be used by other developers and (like all software) to be modified down the road to satisfy new and changed requirements. Technology choice
