I can think of a few ways of combatting this though. 1) Slack in the system, meaning there is time without explicitly defined tasks that have to be done. Basecamp does something like this where they take 1-2 weeks off scheduled work after a

I think you are right in most cases, but I find wikis to be excellent for how-to/recipe kind of information. These can be either technical (e.g how to bootstrap a new repository or how to connect to this database), organisatorial (e.g

Incredibly hard to do when you have the full weight of management on your shoulders. Especially if they back you into a corner in a meeting where you are the only technologist facing a whole hierarchy of management types.

How do you define risk? At her age, and probably even more now, I'd be scared about how the media, politicians, neighbours, peers, and social media would treat me after such a speech.

I'm enjoying hooks so far, but I think I understand where you are coming from. The thing I enjoy with hooks is that you no longer have to juggle state/async in different methods. I'd usually forget cleaning something up, lead

I'm afraid the Faroe Islands is an autonomous region within Denmark, not Britain.

One key differentiator in my opinion between Google and Huawei is how they treat their own employees and partners. I've worked closely with Huawei on a number of projects and they really work their employees to the bone, with terrible

Out of curiosity, which language did you choose to write the new code base?

Personally, I'm far too undisciplined to enforce such rules on a tablet, so I got a Remarkable instead. Essentially an e-ink reader with handwriting capabilities.

Never knew his name, but A* reached me as one of the first algorithms I implemented during my CS studies, and was the first one introducing me to the concept of heuristic functions. It is truly impressive how far his work reached, almost ev

Feel the same way. Ended up buying a Remarkable ( https://remarkable.com/ ) which has been like a one player whiteboard for my thoughts and notes. Highly recommended!

What about exercising at home? If you follow a bodyweight fitness routine, for instance /r/bodyweightfitness' recommended routine[1], you'll only need a few pieces of equipment to get a good workout regimen going. 1. ht

Coffeescript 2 has some breaking changes, most notably classes since it is moving to ES6 classes instead of its own implementation. I'm with you though, I much prefer Coffeescript syntax over Javascript so I'm really happy to see

It is definitely less popular than it was pre-ES6, but it is still used. I personally use it at work every day, plus I notice there are quite a few libraries (both open source and closed source) that are obviously compiled from coffeescript

Do you think it would be possible, and if so a good idea, for foreign talent to form startups in Singapore targeting foreign markets?

I'm no economist, but from what I understand a lower valued NOK will over time help Norway's export industries (who have been suffering the last years due to high costs), which in turn will help the economy during a transition fro

If you want to meet new people, try joining a Couchsurfing meetup. I was just on vacation in China, South-Korea and Japan, and Couchsurfers in those places were some of the nicest people I've ever met.

I agree that the share icons (and the right column) are irritaring (especially how they disappear and reappear when you scroll past full-width images), but I think the text column is kept narrow intentionally. It has become a rule of thumb

At least in my group of friends this was joked about as late as yesterday. Definitely impressive of Microsoft and the RPI guys. I'm looking forward to trying it out for myself.

It doesn't have to be a big memory hog though. At my day job I create apps for TV decoders. Most of those render and run in browsers. The boxes have 1 GB memory, the browser uses just a small fraction of that. A lot of the browser memo

The web stack is not just about the web anymore. I'm seeing it being used in all sorts of customer-facing products. For instance TV set-top boxes very often use the web stack for their GUIs. Though, to be honest, they often use SVG for

I think we should differentiate between desktop and other uses. If it is just (any flavour/use) of Linux vs (any flavour/use) of Windows, then I think the vast majority of people use Linux more than Windows. Routers, TV-decoders (
