Same. Also, many tasks grew in complexity until I threw away my awk/sed combos and wrote some Perl instead.

That sounds like it was a Vipassana retreat, and they’re nearly always free (or donation based). They’ll encourage you to return to volunteer at a future retreat, but that’s about it for obligations.

This is a very good set of principles to operate by. 'Checklist' made me think of something a little more task-focused, e.g. checklist for reviewing code, checklist for designing systems, checklist for deployment etc. So... I love

Lessig has mis-categorised Epstein as type 3 when he really should be type 4. He not only personally offended with minors, but amplified that offense by supplying them to others. This was certainly done for either direct profit, or for buyi

I'm amazed they spent all that R&D loot and then called it 'Taycan' - I can't decide if it sounds more like 'toucan' or 'trashcan'. FWIW the Wikipedia article[0] on the car has this to say about t

Yes, I really like this article too but the inclusion of Bret Victor in the first group seemed a little off - from what I've read he seems deeply concerned with human-computer interaction.

Done right - a focus on composition, message passing, little to no inheritance - I find OOP a joy to work with. It’s almost never done that way...

Can any Chilenos chime in on how close ‘hueón’ is to ‘jawn’? In Chile I heard it used to mean a person or a thing, or whatever really.

Now that I’m more manager than dev, GTD is saving my butt. As a dev it never really worked for me.

N00bs go through a period of being extremely prone to crashes. Folks need time (year or two) to swap their 'driving eyes' for their 'cycling eyes'.

One of my first gigs we did a LOT of work with a Sybase database. Backend code frequently made calls to the Sybase database for no reason other than to use the DATEADD and DATEDIFF functions because they were so reliable and easy to use (ex

CSS that affects a components internal layout should be with the component. CSS that affects the components appearance (colours, type etc should be with the document). Of course, communication across teams will affect how successful this is

6 hours a day is plenty for a professional working musician, since they’re going to be performing, dealing with students etc. Serious students will do up to 10 hours a day tho.

Recently we recovered a GSuite account that was still in the trial period! We hadn't even entered billing info :) The process took a while (about a week) but we did get the account back. Things have changed a little bit since Google ju

Good content is one part. Amplification (getting your content out) is the other part, and unless you've got an audience already, it's even more time consuming than preparing the actual content.

Yeah, the Assange case is going to tie everyone up in knots, because he's practically the definition of 'complicated'. Everyone's going to take a different side, based on: - He helped make available information genuinely

What I've found - in high emotion situations people need express that emotion before they start listening, and they need to know that emotion is being heard. This is tough. Sometimes people need a lot of prodding to start expressing a

I first saw the Indian film PK with very dodgy fan-supplied English subtitles. Rewatching with official subtitles was a disappointment :)

Yeah, that Wolfram clip sounds like an exasperated boss dealing with some people who aren't 100% aware of his expectations. Wolfram doesn't at any point (at least while recording) make it about the team members themselves, just th

Polite racist arguments are rare these days, but I've heard them, as well as polite homophobic arguments. I won't bother repeating them here, but the point is that those arguments are rarely made in good faith. Usually it's s

Hah! I used to do a lot of telco work. This led me to basically assume nothing about phone numbers. What got me, was that people working at the telco used to give us requirements that clearly indicated that the telco people entertained a lo

I love this story. Little kid logic is so foreign to me now it makes me a little sad. Another example - we have our nephew stay over sometimes. One night, he did not, absolutely NOT want to go into the room he sleeps in. We couldn't wo

Whoa my friend! People from the left have practiced extreme authoritarianism in the past (Stalin, Mao, Khmer Rouge). There's no reason to think they won't in the future. The extreme left and right behave exactly the same way, whil
