I’m curious that this is surprising? Tree pheromone communication is well know. Plant -> fungus communication as well. Here’s a writeup that covers both: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/the-whispering..

One of the few very real regrets I have about the way we've run our business is not getting rid of a brilliant asshole sooner. It was boggling: a) How good he was. Just like really really good quality of work. b) How bad he was. Crying

Engineers who proactively communicate in any way at all are worth their weight in gold. Writing consistently will certainly improve quality of communication.

He's repugnant and the art does not redeem him in any way. Reading the poem feels like picking up million dollars that's covered in shit. It's still a million dollars. But it's still covered in shit.

Funny - also COBOL was intended for the 'business' community to write their own programs. Even funnier - we've already lived through the great 'software development adoption' by business and hardly noticed, except s

Depends on what you're using. The Java world has a bunch of JDBC wrappers for testing SPs. SQLServer GUI has unit testing tools that can also be run from command line. @dventimi has good postgres recommendation. Version control - each

No comment re rDBs supporting parallelized ML but re stored procedures - if your workflow evolves to treat them as ‘1st class’ code assets they’ll be just the same as the rest of your code. We always had them in version control, unit tested

Haven't seen rotation applied to the whole page in a long time. We once had an awesome IE bug where a style applied to a spinner made the whole page rotate. QA thought it was a prank.

Scrum is there for the people who’ve never read the Manifesto, and don’t want to.

Oh yes. The people crying about 'bad agile' haven't accepted most people just don't care about captital-A Agile at all. They just want to clear their Jira tickets and go home. Modern agile processes are designed for thos

This article is pretty wrong, but look at the upvotes. It obviously speaks to a lot of people. I think it says more about the disconnect between dev and product, than the actual sins of product people.

Mostly artists just want their subjects well-lit and don't want a bunch of contrast-y shadows creating distractions all over the composition.

Great site, but unfortunate to have mixed satire and non-satire ( https://flowmanifest.org/we-believe/ ) in the same site Btw HNers - any here disagree with the 'We believe' page?

Yes, this is the logical next step. Yes insurance. You might need to present some kind of documentation about risk management and security policy. But not always. Some orgs will balk at bringing a new supplier on, but if you’re dealing with

Hello, Australian here. Yes, for 85% of the country, risk is small. Crocodiles are the only major danger, and they're isolated to the far north of the country. But they are truly terrifying, in that they are silent and invisible in the

I remember you back when it was just an SQL plug-in for Excel :) Congrats on building this and sticking with it so long. It’s awesome!

I used to describe PHP as the spac filler of the web, holding all the good stuff together. Then I had to pick up a Laravel project and - for me - Laravel alone has resuscitated PHP's reputation.

I can’t believe it’s surprising that taking something joyous and fun and using it to torture small children somehow discourages them from pursuing it in the future.

It’s a good article. Key points for me: - measure teams not individuals - stick to measurements related to planning and operations - implement one measurement at a time I didn’t see it in the article (yes I skimmed) but I’d add that it’s be

Yes, as per blobcode’s comment - it’s a zero-interaction page for me. No scroll, no clicks.

Finding a large, long-term project that’s just mine. Maybe code, maybe writing, maybe organizational. But something that in 10 years time will look like a significant, positive investment.

Huh, I did, many times. I think it’s more where we end up working, than universal applicability of these things. (And I didn’t know about any of the data structures or algos mentioned in the post - I’d never have been hired at a FAANG)
