Broken windows fallacy. If 100m highly competent people were involved in managing cancer, and we cured cancer, these 100m highly competent people could then turn their attention and skills to something else important. There are plenty of

I've used my olympus TG4 underwater at a depth of 15m (best I could do without scuba), and had it trailing on a lanyard on my wrist whilst swimming in the ocean. I'd like to think nobody would subject any current smartphone to th

Better yet, learn stored procedures, then call them just like any API with a well established set of inputs and expected return typed outputs. You'll thank me later once you decide to split your DB from your app server.

In the military, there is Zulu (+0 UTC/GMT) and Juliet time ("my" time). Every report with times should always indicate the timezone (whether Z or J or otherwise), e.g. in NYC 2pm would be 1400Y. Any recent/current mil

Slightly off topic, but when I encounter the phrase butterfly keyboard I think of that really cool sliding keyboard that IBM came up with for the Thinkpad 701c... and not a failing keyboard switch.

Thank you for the rabbit hole, I look forward to the day when I see a scrawl on the wall saying “THE MAGMA PEOPLE ARE WAITING FOR OUR MISTAKES.” and being able to nod sagely whilst others are wondering what aliens wrote this.

Please excuse the bluntness, but I find it hard to believe that you only trained sprints every 3 days (so 2-3 times a week max) to train for huge approaches and multi-pitch climbing (I'm a trad climber and mountaineer too). I assume th

It was my go-to package in python, when I had to build graphs and ascertain acyclicity, single source, shortest path. They weren't huge graphs (at most 100s of elements), so networkx certainly did the work fast enough.

I'd imagine a similarly way to how car cameras work; they buffer for a few seconds, and if they detect a collision, they then save that buffer instead of discarding it.

As a CIO/CTO, I am very hands-on, but I don't feel offended by this statement; I do agree that there are many companies where the CIO/CTO are often vendor management, and more administrative than technical. I'm not sure
