In my experience, the following things are notably better in Apple Maps vs. Google Maps: * No dangerous shortcuts where I risk to damage my car * Routes make much more sense in general and are nearer to what someone who knows their way arou

Had to smile a little bit when I read this. I think most scrum masters are employed to virtue signal some kind of agility and organizational potential for change. Which then never results in anything tangible. It’s quite sad. If you really

Yep. We all gained primarily a lower living standard without reducing any CO2 consumption globally at all _and_ without improving the environment locally. Looks like a good policy to continue with, doesn't it?

Could you please explain how that chart proves your argument and how it makes the parent comment "malicious"?

The 57.7% figure seems to be a bit misleading in this context. I searched for statistical data on how much idle coal power is held on standby and not included in these statistics, for example, but I didn't find any. Does anyone know wh

I agree. It may be helpful under certain circumstances, but under different ones it might actually slow you down, thereby yielding a net productivity gain of zero. At least, that's what it did for me personally. What I worry about is h

Didn’t wanna imply that management care for the state of the code with my original comment. That would be a bit delusional. Sorry if that caused confusion. What I wanted to say is that if the state of the code is bad, it might make them car

I think it's a bit of a stretch to explain this using interest rates. I mean, for sure, low interest rates made it easy to collect a lot of capital and lure users into a "free" service. It doesn't explain though why one

Applying the simplest shortest fix can sometimes be a good method to synchronize the state of the code with management. Instead of engineering trying to buffer and fix weird management decisions, this just exposes them.

That’s indeed a problem. However, writing no comments can also be a problem, so one has to find a compromise. I think comments are helpful given these two criteria are met: * The comment is concise. * The comment reveals something that is n

Well, that was what search was for before that got broken… or should I say broke itself? If it wasn’t so sad, this would actually be quite amusing to watch.

If that was the case why would YT be tolerating adblockers for so long and initially not even be playing so many ads? Why would they change their tune now? Ah, could it be that they need to first get a market share that's so significan

That's likely true for search queries that can be phrased as or somehow represent a question (that can be answered with the information contained in the training data, usually limited to 2021 atm). For all others, probably not so much.

Already approaching this with Xcode, but without productivity gain. And by productive you mean producing new problems that need solving instead of really solving anything, so that business can continue to make money?

I hope people will one day learn that the cake is a lie. Nothing bad will happen if you dare to say no. Quite the opposite. It's a house of cards built on greed and fear.

The thought 'disidentify' is just a word for describing the process of understanding it. Think about it like this: As long as you believe that you are your thoughts, you are identified with them. They are you. Can you control your

You are the one who sees (or 'hears') the thoughts and feels the feelings. The reason this distinction makes sense is that, arguably, most if not all of 'your' thoughts and feelings are actually preconditioned from the o

Thank you for this. Now that I have ranted enough in the parent comment, here are my 2 maybe constructive cents: 1. Learn what it means to be relaxed again and make this your first priority. F** everything else, if necessary. Anxiety and st

Do you have a source for that? Then I would edit the parent to include that.
