What was the size of the company? Generally speaking any organisation, given enough time, can establish processes that are better than JIRA with a certain amount of luck. However, that's the best case scenario. It's a standard dis

The issue is that software developers (correctly) identify the burndown chart as useless due to estimation in software being a joke. Software developers' mistake is not realizing that "linking the tickets" into Epics that man

Software optimization is never going to be solved. Ultimately, software developers will ALWAYS stress the hardware to the limit. With labor saving software tools or else with performance hogging GUIs. Simply put, devices need to keep up wi

Unfortunately the hardware is incredibly subpar. I see no real future for Linux mobile unless the EU makes some law that forces Apple/Samsung to make flashing easier.

Not even about the money. Hardware involves making things, the turnaround time is nonzero.

This, absolutely this. The hardware is getting better. The software is getting worse. They're hiding usability.

They'll fix that in a few years. I suspect Ive was fired because he created the craziness of 2012-2017 post Jobs era. Trashcan, no ports, touch bar, mouse charging etc etc. These days I have moderate confidence Apple will fix its issue

I didn't have that growing up at all, but I think that's an excellent way to get 11 year olds to learn something. Minus the $20k projector.

I agree. In my mind, active recall is an excellent technique that's appropriate for the first lecture covering a topic. Which is why I like it as a prompt in a lecture, not so much later on. Constructive learning in my mind comes lat

Note that it's Active Recall according to other education research. Not only active participation, but actively being forced to remember the knowledge, in a different format to the original, is the key. Teaching another student is de

The problem with voluntary question and answer is that the loud kids ask questions. The shy kids sit there and be quiet. "Prompt" questions, like multiple choice, are a good way of encouraging reluctant students to come out of the

I'd like to see an AI tackle 4X because Firaxis' AI is famously miserable at its own game. Firaxis iirc has never shipped an iteration of civilization where the AI could compete on a level playing field with even quite mediocre hu

Denormalized views? Every dashboard is an exercise in denormalization anyway. Certainly I would never expect people to be experts. SQL Group By is nontrivial.

I don't mean this as a criticism of the link author. Nobody wants to use a toilet plunger. You still want a good one. Merely an observation about the dashboard industry.

YMMV, has any technologist found a dashboard useful? I've had a very bad history with dashboards. All I've seen get ordered up by nontechnical leadership, not looked at, and involved endless fiddling with painful corporate applica

Last generation? Without too much unkindness, MacBooks have been like this since the 1990s. Many people I know wouldn't have considered them for one second before the M1.
