Similar reaction, not so teary though :) I grew up in similar circumstances, and it still affects my mindset. It's changing, but slowly. It helps a lot to read others' stories.

Interesting that this would be contentious - child trauma victims especially have reported giant chunks of missing memory, like almost no memories before the age of 8. The ability to elicit fake memories shouldn’t imply forgotten traumati

I heard a great interview with an anthropologist (no reference sorry), who said always be suspicious of objects in museums labeled ‘for ritual’, because that’s the anthropological fallback for ‘no obvious purpose’ Edit: spelling

A good team will produce good software, regardless of methodology. But a good agile team will be more responsive to changing customer needs.

Good question. One of the legislation changes Facebook negotiated was if they have ‘enough’ commercial agreements in place, the code won’t apply to them. I’d love to see a definition of ‘enough’ * edit for autocorrect

Thank you for this comment. Articles like this always have a kind of ‘huh, I wonder what really DID happen to all those Neanderthals?’ vibe to them. We’ve all seen what human societies do to each other, especially if one considers the other

And the jokes about the Japanese characters as well. They really leaned on the idea that you can get away with insensitive humor as long as it’s delivered by the crass idiot of the show (generally Gob)

It’s slavery with window dressing. ‘CCP defenders’ and other apologists will make bad-faith arguments no matter how precise you are.

These guys did it: Walsh and Ranogajec took on the might of global gaming markets and managed to consistently win over three decades. Much like the most advanced hedge funds, which employ armies of PhDs to identify patterns in financial ma

I think it’s very true that availability and norms will have a lot to do with drug use, and heroin often doesn’t give a second chance to people who are experimenting. However the with regard to the idea of ‘deep seated issues’ affecting add

Morning Star is a fascinating example, but (per the hbr article mentioned in the post) the amount of time employees spend on committees devoted to hiring, purchasing etc is considerable. Exactly the kind of managerial activity devs often wa

Yes, definitely. Customer supplied some code that I had to incorporate into a new JEE app (actually J2EE back then). I liked that code because it was just way cleverer than anything I ever expected to find in an enterprise Java app. It impl

Here's another 'opposite' - I had to process PDFs to find images in them.. and the PDFs were alternating scans of text + actual images.

Sure, like giving a login page an unexpected URL to foil bots (eg hiding WordPress admin). If that was the only security it’d be terrible. But not having 1000s of bots pounding on the door saves a lot of headaches.

Looks like doctors (or most of them) didn't get a look at this until it was done? In a field as technical and regulation-laden as medicine it's hard enough as is. Without relentlessly validating it with users it could only go in o

I tried vim-org previously (I’m a Vim user at heart) and didn’t have any success, but I hadn’t grokked org-mode at that point anyway. So definitely worth trying it out.

Hate to be that guy but... org-mode :) I use it as an outliner, to link to documents (using org-roam), and liberally sprinkle TODOs among the notes, which the agenda picks up. Took a while to get comfortable with it, but it's totally w
