FYI: At Microsoft, in Windows, the job might be PM or TPM, but the people aren't. A person is expected to be able to switch their focus from one to the other. At least, that's what we PMs were told when Microsoft Windows rejiggere

I literally had a dev manager say it to my face! "I guess you were a mediocre programmer or you wouldn't have become a PM"! No, you aren't doing that kind of high-level design. For example, I was the PM for the "con

When I moved to Microsoft 15+ years ago, I went from being a developer (for 20+ years) to a PM. 9/10, would recommend. But also know that it's a very different skill set that you'll need to learn. The simplest example of this

Among other problems: the variables est and estTime are both mis-named. The correct name for "the time in New York" is Eastern Time. Depending on the time of year, Eastern Time will either match "Eastern Standard Time" o

What is it about computer people that they see a flood of open, free, engaging material about computers, and think, "I should put up an artificial road block so that fewer people read my writing".

Not high tech. The blog post presents exactly one side of the issue, "what happens if a lawyer alleges child abuse knowing it to be untrue in order to extract a settlement". But it doesn't even hint that there's another

Incorrect. The maintainer isn't ignoring anything; they are considering the request and deliberately rejecting it because of their preferred style guide.

Things to not do include: randomly picking medicine "X", have it hyped up by a weird republican hype machine, and then bitterly complain when the unwarranted, evidence-free hype is denounced for being unwarranted and evidence free

If you have 1024 people each of whom make 8 trades (and win/loss is 50/50), 4 of those thousand will succeed with every trade. Given that, survivorship bias is 100% the right answer. If you have a "gut feel" that somethi

I used to program many different terminals, back when they were a thing. A classic terminal only has a screen full of memory: it does have extra memory that would allow it to scroll backwards. The ESC [ S command (CSI itself can only be use

Makes me wonder what the opposite point of view is. I've been in many set of ongoing meetings where the point of the meeting is to herd cats: us insiders know what the work is, but there's new incoming people who need to be brough

All legal stuff is expensive. Source: was an expert witness, and made a nice sum. SEC type stuff is guaranteed to be pricy because it's bound to be complicated, and require specialists.

Which, per the article, you can appeal to a real judge.

From the article: yes, you do. Compare the SEC's actions to a simple traffic ticket: a police officer gives you a ticket with a pre-set fine. This is like an SEC officer giving you a fine for some infraction. You can argue it out for a

For everyone who's hated bosses that determine success by number of lines of code: the "damning" part here is that the teams don't have good metrics for success. There's not a hint from the article that the teams ar

Uninformed bullshit session that's not really tech related. And no, we're not about to have a nuclear war with China! Wow, the presenter really likes the "dump a bazillion facts" style of punditry, even when the reality

The source for the graph is just "NASA", without even a hint of a proper attribute. The link to the sciencedirect paper is a nifty and super geeky description of a continuous effort to extract more and better information from one

Great use of "quotes". That will "convince" me for sure!

Snarky summery: "If me and my fellow "skeptics" keep adding "quote marks" and arguing about everything long enough, surely this time people will listen to us complain about every single aspect of the Covid response.

Weirdly, it doesn't handle unique placenames. So if I say my mom is from Huntertown, where do people think she's from? No answer, and it won't even try. That's because there's only one Huntertown.

My own take: I only see people worrying about the "unforseen side effects" when its conservative people worrying about liberal concepts. Are there any takes on the gross energy inefficiency of mega-churches? The political downside

Darn straight! I've had my Leaf for years, and apart from trying the quick-charge at the dealers when I got it, I've only ever charged at home from an ordinary outlet in the garage. That means zero time at gas stations, and also z
