Thank you. I believe this answers my question: > Individual participants were not blinded to their group assignment and upon giving consent were aware whether they were participating in the VIP intervention or control arm of the Trial. S

I can’t read the full article. Does it say if students were permitted to opt into the class and, if so, whether they knew that the infant simulator project would be part of the class at enrollment time? In my (US) high school, this project

Am I correct to understand that this is actually an issue for these people? As a programmer of far less exalted code, I’ve never felt like I was at risk of an RSI in my hands. (My neck is a different story.) I spend a lot more time thinking

It is. And my question is that - given that it is a personality thing - how is Shopify dealing with it?

What is the policy for ad hoc huddles? If I’m spending more than 20% of my attention on a message thread, then I’m not being a productive programmer. At that point I just want to pick up the phone and talk to people (but not hang around and

I’d like to see some stats on slack usage, Google docs activity, and jira ticket activity (or their equivalents) before and after this shift. Basically: does this just mean that everything is migrating to written form? If so, is that good?

I like the effort that the artist put into designing objects that we might consider to be strictly functional. For example, his data collection device and even the suit he worse to do data collection.

This needs some more context. A 10-k is just a public company’s annual report to shareholders. From perusal of the financial press, there doesn’t appear to be any startling news in it?

So many of these pages displayed tables that included a column for SSNs. Once they lock down the authorization permissions they ought to reconsider whether they really need to be displaying that data all over the place.

I think I just have poor intuitions about when to share and when I’m over sharing. Not about personal stuff. Just tech and work stuff. Have you ever had someone join your team and immediately start lecturing you about this best practice and

Paywalled but $36m doesn’t seem all that newsworthy? Their Twitter [1] seems like a generic crypto outfit. Wonder if Bloomberg just loved the irony of the name? I did. [1] https://mobile.twitter.com/orthotrading

This sounds interesting! What are your thoughts on (for lack of a better term) the marketing of each single page? Is the idea that each page should live on an island, that writers will promote through their own separate channels, or is the

For me, the hardest part of pomodoro is convincing myself that, “yes, you really do need to step away for a minute.” If the only function of this is that I feel socially pressured to _not_ be on a group chat or programming, then this does t

I used to lecture with lyx. Think about trying to express how you’re solving an algebra problem. Set up a keyboard shortcut for “duplicate previous line” and you’re off to the races.

I think that some of these questions are quite important. However, I think that all of them could be interpreted as “missing the forest for the trees” sort of questions. Therefore, I don’t tend to ask them in interviews. If you do ask these

T-Mobile just started advertising that they can be used on any flight. I think this is just a second signal that the market is moving towards Free(ish) WiFi on planes, boats, etc.

The New York Times article [1] largely adds support to the author’s claims. It also provided some interesting background on how this level of nepotism might have come about: > Ms. Jones, Mr. Lloyd’s [The author] lawyer, argued that Googl

As a self-taught programmer, I tend to be pretty self-conscious about my code quality for precisely this reason. As such, I’ve never had issues on this front.

I don’t understand what step #1 (use their service) has to do with steps 2-3 (make an unrelated api request). Also, what is the “challenge” component of this? I understand that this is a marketing gimmick. It just didn’t quite land for me.

Thanks for your comment. I have updated mine to include a reference. In short, I'm thinking about how fingerprints are stored.

[edit for clarity] As someone who doesn’t specialize in security, one claim that has stood out to me for not using fingerprints is that you can't run bcrypt (or some other salting algorithm) on fingerprints [1]. I don’t see any discuss
