Good point — I guess it's akin to the effect of napping on a macro scale. However, if I only ever take a week out, I find that I don't get the mental rest I need to come back to my work fully energised. So, perhaps a mixture of bo

If you want to increase burnout (and its inevitable resultant churn) in an organisation, capping vacation length sounds like a surefire way to achieve that.

By a 'mailing list-type setup', do you mean an actual email mailing list? In my opinion, such a suggestion is naïve, when the masses flock to Facebook/YouTube for their digital 'comical' content. I say this withou

I absolutely love the fact that SpaceX is so open and public about their rocket launches, however, I couldn't help but get the feeling that they were in full 'PR backlash' mode [over the core booster] when ending the live str

I second this. Feels like something fishy is going on, given all the author’s prior references of being flagged on other platforms.

Will there come a time when Electron apps are considered native? I'm not being facetious here, just posing the question that if — say — the horrendous performance issues of Electron were ironed-out, or perhaps a similar standard that i

Click-bait based on a sample size of 1. Please investigate and corroborate before jumping to conclusions of ‘fraud’. (Note to Brian - Of course they’re going to ask to replace your screen if it’s cracked and -possibly- make a repair risky

I agree with your 'stateless' approach for many use cases that are otherwise 'muddied' by unnecessary component state. However, instead of calling forceUpdate(), I was under the impression that componentWillReceiveProps(

Thanks! Python is one of the ones I'm going to check out so that example makes me feel confident about using this as a resource :)

What an amazing initiative — not least because they're providing something consumable for offline. Does anyone have any knowledge on the quality of this material? I'd love to dive into quite a few of them where I have surface-know

This may be a stupid question, but I can only see linux / win binaries on the releases page. Do I need to compile for OS X?

I'm not sure if you're trying to say that the ("cheap lesson to learn") should be paid or not; ≈$1,000 is a lot of money for most people. I think the shock of having to pay it is enough to have the same effect — those

I'd like to see this issue get more attention. However, I did think this was already known — anecdotally, I've not really been able to view public profiles ≈50% of the time without hitting an auth-wall. What I'd like to kno

It's more the 2012–14 MBPs... I think Apple just couldn't be bothered to give their QA staff anything that was made before the past couple of years... I feel like my 2014 rMBP is silently yelping "What have you done to me?&qu

Exactly my thoughts, too. As other commenters have pointed out, we no longer trust photos as a source-of-truth, and need video instead. Maybe 'verified' live streams are going to be the next trustful source...

I personally don’t think that those two things are causally related. And that’s not with the ‘benefit of the doubt’, either. If you’ve run out of disk/swap space, then it doesn’t matter how much iCloud storage you have, your Mac will s

Thank you for the inspiration :) I think the Sunday-alarm is a great idea. I always try and do daily-notes and end up getting demotivated after missing a few days... that and all my notes ending up as a stream-of-conciousness... Will try th

For those with Nvidia GPUs, may I suggest (as per previous comments[0]) that you download the Nvidia BETA drivers[1] for your system. (Disclaimer: at your peril — and for your relevant device... This can be hard to figure-out as what your M

Wow, thanks for this — I did HS-physics but much of my knowledge has since left me... :) Would love to dig into the science behind this a bit more — I don't really know where to start — i.e. why you're dividing by four. So as not

I was thinking of doing something similar a few days ago but came to the conclusion — perhaps wrongly — that the inevitable creases in a DIY aluminium foil sheet would render it ineffective as a dish, due to the scatter created. Anyone more
