I can see that this must be an aggregation of different work patterns. I'm not a statistics person so is there some way to estimate the source 'curves' from this. I.e. I know that I'm most productive from around 7.30 am

Money is useless without power. I think all this talk of BI in isolation hides the socio-political dimensions. The problems you describe are a result of market forces. The ability to do something about it is vested in a political system. T

I've got a book about javascript from 1995. It mentions closure once and says something like "... but you'll never need to use that feature of the language." How I laughed.

I have oft said that the people who give me dour customer service (which is a lot) have been to the Huddersfield School of Customer Service. Disclaimer: I live in Huddersfield and it is sometimes grim up north.

Bravo! That's a more or less perfect distillation of what I consider to be the things I should be doing to stay fit and healthy: Exercise a lot, live on fresh vegetables, sleep well and push your mental capacity so that it 'hurt

A bit OT, but the kerning on the headline font in iOS safari is awful, especially between the 'o' and 'w'. It looks like a 'missing' font in a PDF.

Oh wow - that was illuminating. I was 11 or 12 when I got the quill. Adventures were all the rage. I remember the Hobbit being just way too hard. My favourite adventure game was the Lords of Time. I remember being ecstatic when I worked out
