I have no inside information. But they aren't doing it, they are complete idiots. And I don't think they are idiots.

I'm guessing they care a lot about the network, not just the content. They'll realise you work in IT, tag you as "linux using trouble maker", then mostly ignore you. Unless you work for the NSA, then they'll kick yo

Objective C. When you need to figure something out, and Google returns 1,000 tutorials on how to do it on Objective C and nothing for Swift, you'll know why. Sure, Swift might be better. One day you'll probably learn it. But 99% o

I think the jokes are by Stephan, and Bill just did the drawing. And yes, it's just a bunch of references to Bill and Stephan's work. Also, the final strip is pretty good. Not the one drawn by Bill ... the followup here - http:&#

Operating expenses, not the cost of the ship. Other operating expenses are just fuel, aren't they? Not that fuelling a container ship is cheap. The capital cost is probably as much as fuel and crew together. Still, if crew is ~20% of c

It's a highly regulated device. It's not going to be cheap, even without patents. Just look at hearing aids. Let's say they didn't have a patent. You'd need a significant investment, so you couldn't produce it

NZ's fertility rate is below replacement (it needs to be a little more than 2.0). If you look at raw deaths / birth, Japan only crossed into negative growth in 2008. But it's had lower fertility (below 2.0) since the mid 1970

High context is vague. As in, you're expected to already have a good idea of the context.

If you want to hurt someone, then tweeting can be effective. So can setting fire to their dog. Neither is likely to help you win a court case though.

Teachers (male and female) typically reward boys for technical competence, and girls for "effort" (polish, pink unicorns, etc).

Amateur here ... don't a lot of people have schizophrenic symptoms (voices), but as long as they are positive or the person can ignore them it's usually just ignored? Like, some people might have "imaginary friends" who

What if the problem is one that doesn't have a self-evident solution? Like "who should we hire", or "what is the best way to implement our current goals".

I think the point is, that people think the person making the most noise is having the most influence, even if their influence is mostly just white noise. The article is part of a book. I'd imagine the book has a broader thesis.

Survivorship bias. I bet they've knocked back a lot of books which wouldn't have made a lot of money.

There's one very important service the publisher provided, which the author missed: assessing whether the book was likely to be a successes. Telling people who won't be successful not to bother (or at least, not to bother with a

Presumably, because they were doing it line by line, and the Python version used C extensions (for performance reasons).

That's actually kind of shocking. I thought it would take way more work to port from Python to Go, and a 400% speedup is way less than I'd have expected (though this is string handling, and the Python was already brutally optimise

English uses question tags - you make you voice go up at the end of the sentence you know? Chinese uses little words like 呢 to indicate a question. Or you can just use correct Chinese grammar for questions - "He said what" or &quo

It's not that easy. 灯 is pronounced "dang", not "ding". 汀 is "ting". Phonetic components only indicate "sounds like". And not all those examples you gave had the same tone. Having phonetic compo

I don't think women care these days about getting a diamond. They just want something pretty to show their friends. 50 years ago, it really mattered - a woman who moved in with a man before they were married was taking a big gamble - s
