In the case of the North Sentinelese, this incident in 1880 might have something to do with their hostility to the outside world. > After several days, six Sentinelese—an elderly couple and four children—were taken to Port Blair. The col

Telling codex how to program a feature is a much different, much easier type of thinking than back in the olden days of a year ago, when I had to get everything to work myself. I can't imagine that's going to be great for my long-

Well supposedly it was caused by a landslide blocking the river for a few minutes, then the dam burst all at once.

At a few companies I've worked at, they squelch this kind of bug/security breach reporting by immediately making it the discoverer's job to fix the problem and champion it through the system to production, taking on all respo

We had a guy making $60k leave for a job making $110k. This is in LA. So it was close!

This is standard because after a year of experience, a fresh junior dev is worth roughly twice as much on the open market. Most companies won't give a 100% raise because it would upset the apple cart with other employees wanting simila

It depends on how you define compromise. Is it a compromise to consider things like screen size, load wait times, or the average expected user's attention span? If so, then design is a big juggling act of compromise. If not, and compro

The mouse-driven EMACS I used in the 90s had a text swap feature that was so elegant - highlight one word, double-click another word, and boom - they swap places.
