Glad of that actually. As a software developer, I would rather talk to the developers.

Many of the product managers I've worked with have a very simple job: Take the product management direction from some other, higher-up manager, and present it to the engineers. They don't actually manage anything, can't answe

TAG-Connect makes a nice one of these. I use their target footprint on all my MCU projects now. The guide holes and pins make it easy to hold with one hand and know it will stay put as you initiate the programming with your other hand.

>>Parts are easier than ever to find and order. So true. I was surprised to be able to replace a circuit board on a (probably) 20 year old garage door opener. Surprised, in that I had no knowledge of the things, couldn't really b

I haven't read the article, and I think the site is great. I've used it many times and it exemplifies what I think a great e-commerce site should be (from a customer perspective). They've built their website so you can find a

The one thing not unhealthy in a typical fast-food meal is the beef patty. Everything else is sugar, seed oils, grain and starch. You can throw away everything but the patty, scrape off the condiments, and have a small nutritious meal.

Restaurants almost all use inferior fats, such as seed oils. It's rare to find one using real butter, decent olive oil, etc. They also generally buy their sauces and dressing from large industrial processors. If you are trying to avoid

Same here (separate hobby from career). I needed to let myself re-discover the things that made it magical, switch from resume-building as my goal, to "what would be fun for me to do now?".

I think the point may be that, yes still as capable etc., but also with a ton more life-cycle experience in real-world development. So for someone hiring that values that experience, maybe they ask a bit more about that, and do less whitebo

They may have considered that by bundling Figma's functionality into their cloud subscription, with the number of new subscribers that would bring, that revenue attributable to that added functionality would be much more than 400 milli

It happens here in a unique way, partly because of the legal structure we have around public corporations. In the US, institutional investors want to see revenue growth, even over profits. Way more sexy. And they have ways to arm-twist mana

They're not picking on one company arbitrarily. There was a specific whistleblower complaint sent to the SEC, about Twitter. Twitter is a large company, and the SEC has to take notice by law. Twitter sticks up as it is such a large com

The board's behavior is a really interesting point. On one hand, they are doing the owners (stockholders) a dis-service by first being gullible enough to be successfully kept ignorant about the company's security situation, and th

Not knowing more than your doctor is not the same as your doctor knowing everything. There are so many examples of diseases which are not currently completely understood, after decades of study. It's surprising that you think that&#x27

Harvesting fruit requires more brainpower than hunting, for instance? Wait for the fruit to appear, in the tree that you remember it always appearing in, then climb up and grab it. That doesn't seem to require much brainpower.

How would you know that? I don't disagree, because I don't know either. But I consider that you might know, and I don't know how that would occur. Curious.

The research results should not be patentable. If someone wants to then productize the research, they can patent any methods they can independently come up with, as long as they didn't use public money for that as well. That is plenty

I do agree and I also think that bands played to their listeners more rather than being employees of their producers like was more common earlier in the 60s. The bands in the later 60s played their music and then found their fanship, discov

Re: selection bias. I remember FM radio in LA in the early 70s, there weren't really a lot of mediocre songs in the playlists. It wasn't just Classic Rock as we refer to it now, but a bunch of BB King and other blues artists, alon

Same feeling about WPF. XAML just never caught on with me and I stayed with Forms for a long while after WPF came out. With XAML, it seemed like they were trying a bit too hard on declarative. Now working in SwiftUI, which is declarative bu

I'm not sure about the severance, you would certainly need to negotiate that. I did know a person who offered to take the layoff even though they were not slated to, and it worked out fine for them. They got the layoff severance, COBRA

It's more the density that people object to, not more people, or more housing. It's when there's an area in the denominator. More density means more cars, more air pollution, more traffic, more noise. More accidents, more tim

I've cooked on both, many years on each and I'm an every-day kind of cook. In my experience, gas is better. Heats up faster, reacts much faster to control input, and by looking at the flame under the pan I can adjust exactly, and

The theories you mention (other than Dark Matter) actually have experimental evidence to support them. They are in a completely different league.

Too bad there are no reviews of Fein and Festool vacs. I've had a Fein for over 20 years, still going strong, can still get parts. Nice and quiet too. Love that thing.

Yep, I know a small bit about photography and Ken's advice is better than most. One of the few places where you will hear that some product isn't worth the money, and here is a different cheaper one that's just as good. Or th
