Just to be clear, this article is talking about ego depletion which is the theory that willpower is linked to glucose consumption implying exercising willpower in one area will deplete willpower for another area. What Kahneman is talking ab

Limited time makes it immensely difficult. However, I've found my prejudices against people not like myself have gone way past the interview. I had one intern for 2-3 months before I realized I was really lucky to have him, and it was

Daniel Kahneman talks about an idea called substitution in his book Thinking Fast and Slow that I think really applies here. Here's the jist: When your brain is faced with doing a task that's going to require a lot of glucose it

I just had a sinking feeling in my stomach that in a few years we might have to amend Wadler's Law of Language Design to include bickering over the code of conduct. http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/4287 Somebod

I usually come here to defend the language designer, but I think this particular submission is worthy of brief, critical and vague criticism because there's not a lot to criticize. The user guide and language reference is very thin and

I don't disagree. Companies always need to issue press releases in conjunction with an announcement, but too many older companies (mine included) too often lean on them like a crutch. If IBM wants to stay relevant, they need to start

You have to love how IBM uses the old fashioned press releases to try and lure young developers to use their hip new technology on their platform.

It's especially entertaining how he tries to apply his very unique sidestepping effort to the rest of their operations as if he's warning potential buyers and investors alike. I wonder how many people have had to listen to this dr

I love your conclusion (Make it for H1B workers to shop for or switch jobs), but I can't agree with calling this slavery or even indentured servitude because it frankly isn't. That sort of talk makes you come off as hyperbolic an

I personally could care less how we sentence these criminals, because I thinking changes in sentencing tend to have little effect anyway. We should be more concerned about fixing the immigration system so our regulations don't give emp

You might actually be right that specifically exploiting the H1B system is statistically an Indian phenomenon, but the way you ask it makes it a huge distraction when talking about the larger issue. However, the way you asked it made it sou

Are you suggesting that not wanted someone to call for you to be "retroactively aborted" is a slippery slope that leads to ass-kissing, passive-aggressiveness and politically motivated culture rather than results motivated culture
