Purely as a standalone apple, the Granny Smith does NOT (in most opinions, it seems) hold its own against other apples. A 1v1 challenge against some of the more popular apples seemingly places the GS as the loser. However, you mentioned the

I was excited for the Cosmic Crisp to broadly hit the market. I have been a Honey Crisp fan for a long time, but was looking forward to seeing if the CC could beat it. Turned out, I just don't like the CC at all. It's too sweet? A

Or maybe the opposite, where the story unscrambles with each visit. Either direction could be kind of interesting. Like imagine a murder-mystery game, of sorts. The story gives more clues as each guess to solve the murder goes unanswered. O

Generally you say you "feel" those low frequencies not "hear" them. But I get what you're saying, what is sound exactly? Is it something that is perceived in our eardrum, or is it something beyond that?

Ah yes, OK. My bad. That definitely sets the world back to normal then.

This comment made me LOL. Thank you, that's pretty funny. I was curious if this was a saying I'd never heard of or if you just came up with it. Seems you just came up with this? What's amazing is that Google already has this

So there's 8 billion people in the world approximately. Therefore you're saying that you have reputation (either good or bad) with 8e9 x 0.001 of them. That is 8 million people? Wow, you maintain a very large reputation, actually.

That's actually pretty amazing. Well done. For me, I read blog posts and sit on the sidelines, thinking about fun ideas like yours, but never executing or figuring out how to take forward steps. It's actually quite the accomplishm

Just to ask. Do you think the housing of the turbine would somehow "channel" the wind it collects into the blades? And therefore increase the performance or yield against the size of the blades? Maybe in this way, the comparison i

Not FUD, these are good questions. In my opinion, since you asked, writing an http server using Loom (preview mode and all) is the only reasonable way to get ahead of the market, so to speak. It's not like I am an insider or have any s

Another person commented the same, but a "project loom" virtual threads based HTTP server implementation would be very desirable right now. A new NIO based server probably doesn't add a whole lot of value to the ecosystem. Bu

I'm only going 22 MPH in Kansas. Ugh! Can I speed up? It's Kansas, afterall.

Maybe it's just a little cliche and maybe the phrase "XXX is Dying" is too easily thrown around for click-bait and hyperbole. It can probably be applied to any language that isn't garnering recent fandom. You could proba

Just to probe. COBOL doesn't have many (if any) updates to it, though. And there are no big data architectures being built around it. Equating "Java is Dead" to the same meaning as "COBOL is Dead" doesn't seem

I'm not trying to flame bait here, but this whole article refutes the "Java is Dead" sentiment that seems to float around regularly among developers. This is a very complicated and sophisticated architecture that leverages th

I agree. Reading the article, his early political/constitutional positions, I could have easily aligned with. For instance, police should never execute a warrantless search. I can see police officers getting on board with an "oath

by taftster 4y ago
In some ways, I think that's what the article is saying. I think the article takes the position that people are valuable and that investing in their success therefore creates value.

This is a great tl;dr - I'd still recommend reading the article though: > ... a list of three specific management behaviors most closely aligned with employee engagement. * Direction: Good managers ensure that every member of their

I hear you and I get what you're saying. However, to argue the other side, maybe it's a decision based on the possibility of long maintenance going forward. Keeping track of, in your example, PHP and all of its various versions is

What you're describing is an interesting outcome of chess engines. I assume that the game at the top of the heap, at the grandmaster level, has certainly become dull and void of creativity, as the article describes. But for us mere mor

I actually agree. I was originally not going to include the word "probably", but I thought I would soften the message a little bit. There's likely a few outside examples, but yeah, keeping an employee on the roster after tell

If someone were to tell me, you've got 12 weeks left on your job. And then adds, and you can leave early when you find work. I'm probably not going to be the most motivated/productive employee. In fact, I might cause more har

This is so true. I remember back in the day reading computer magazines for the ads, simply because you learned a lot about what new things were coming out. It allowed my young mind to dream about the possibilities. Sometimes the articles so

Your comment helped me want to click through and read the post. I'm very tired of all the recent Rust fanboy posts, but level-headed and earnest comparisons against real implementations make for much better understanding of a new conce
