Piggybacking to share very similar circumstances and results, though memory improvement while noticeable was not quite as dramatic. What was dramatic? Immediately dropped ten pounds landing me at my ideal weight. Without trying.

I push that so hard. Put the removal in an isolated, clearly named commit that will be easy to search later, tag that commit so it never gets garbage collected, then take a deep breath and say goodbye. You'll be better off without it a

I've found that once a behavior is released in the wild, even a bug, people will build it into their workflows and rely on its presence. Frustrating but unavoidable.

Got it. That makes sense. And I hear you on how you could accomplish less story points, or tickets, or whatever during a sprint. Happens all the time for the reasons you say. But how do you accomplish more? Are you in organizations that hav

I have many times seen management hire what they thought were "the best engineers" and let them completely loose for months or years straight to eventually deliver... nothing. Literally nothing. Or at least nothing that actually w

I get your point on PHP and jquery, but why sqlite over Postgres or MySQL? Is sqlite just easier to get set up?

I've never been anywhere that used story points effectively, but the notion sincerely appeals to me, and I look forward to being somewhere that has it working. But there is one practical question that has always confused me: how do you

I struggle mightily with this in managing projects. My instinct is to use solid boring tech, and maximize chance of delivering on time. But I've found that: 1.) No one writes blog posts about using old boring stuff and meeting expectat

My experience has been the same. Many (maybe not most for me) early programmers seem to think their job is to provide for the option of success. Full stop. "Well that would be on them," is often the retort when asked about possi

Early in my career I was working on a strictly internal business process tool. I'd cut my teeth playing with public, free web tools, so had my head around the idea that I would have to entice adoption. In a meeting with one of the exec

You're right, I guess it would just be a loan with interest rate and terms fit for the risk. But I wonder if the financially rational terms might fall afoul of usury regulations or something. So I wondered if the lender would have to s

One thing I've never understood about this: why on earth aren't there financial products specifically for people in this situation? Especially around Silicon Valley? Bankish Corp floats you the tax bill at some mutually beneficial

I'm with you that a couple layers of the "safety in depth" worked impressively well here. But a bug of this types points to egregiously bad process and standards with the software vendor. And the airlines or FAA should have a

I expect the company was too risk averse, but the individual players, familiar with how blame and credit were distributed there, were pretty finely calibrated in their behavior.

Hearing about all the painstaking analysis of this flight made me wonder something: If you look deeply enough, how frequent are inexplicable situations? That is, if you took all the info from a normal flight, and cut it off at the halfway p

I've noticed the same thing happen when you walk quickly by a fence with slits too small to see through when you're standing still.

Yes. I'm living proof. I'd always played with coding, and freelanced a little, but was mostly a public school math/physics teacher until just over thirty. That job, in that district, was not sustainable for me, so I put resum

My question for that situation is: why even show up? Is there some token importance to you coming through the front door every morning where failing to do so will get you fired thus eliminating your stock options?

One potentially relevant nuance: the odds of a particular investment strategy beating the market over a given period can be >0.5 while still providing negative expected return.

This is well written, but frustrated me because the "guide", which is referenced early in the article, is only linked at the end. And even then, they link to a larger page, with instructions on how to search for the actual list of

I don't know these numbers, but I bet someone on Murdoch's staff does, at a statistical level.

I think your point about "feel better off" is critical, but I wonder if that stems more from comparison across generations or across the current population.

I believe the problem is that fans perceiving a “that’s life” sentiment from Taylor Swift will hurt her total long term profit. And that’s in addition to Taylor Swift, personally, wanting non-elites to share in the show experience, which I

I may be a one off, but my dentist made me get a mouth guard because I was grinding my teeth. Made sense as I always have crazy stressful dreams. But it seems the causality reversed. Now unable to really grind, the dreams are gone. But a si

Not sure about dividing the force compressing the bushings into Fuseful and Fwasted. I may be misunderstanding, but it seems the Fwasted vector component just gets some mechanical advantage in compressing the bushing, and disadvantage on th

I have deep sympathy for OP. And reading comments I agree with the majority opinion to tackle a piece at a time rather than attemp a full scratch rewrite. Experience and Joel’s famous post bring me there. But if I could hijack and m curious
