I agree entirely. Constant interruptions while programming is a no no.

Why though ? Specially since covid, I don't see why knowledge workers can't just follow their own schedule, subject to constraints such as "meeting at x" of course. This is an attitude more than anything I'd say, th

Same here, can't stand a website that isn't aware of tab navigation. How else are you supposed to quickly navigate any UI without the rat ?

That's a great idea. I've been doing this just to rationalize my laziness, but now it makes sense. However, I'm not sure those are valid forever as you can simply delete the .git folder, can't you?

They shouldn't exist if the null hypothesis hold true, so this is evidence against the null hypothesis, aka the official history. This shouldn't surprise you neither, but that depends on your null hypothesis ;)

You can improve your chances of success by avoiding phrases such us: > It is a PoC built in my own time cause I don't have time/money or a project. That sounds like a complain, which might motivate others not to listen to you

The question is how will a group of people decide their own key performance measures. Different groups have different KPIs either intrinsically or some statistic, e.g. PDG, ESG indicators, Real return, etc. If your only or main KPI ignores

I agree, however I'm not sure of how far you can get in probability theory without set theory. For instance, I recall my stats prof defining a lot of sets in class, e.g. sigma algebras.

That's some serious home bias.

It looks like the safer way to vote is avoiding technology, which I find a bit counterintuitive even though many countries rely on paper and people counting, I've even done it once (forced by law). I don't know how wrong I might b

I second the op, it's hard to just be homeless when it gets freezing cold. Put differently, if I had to choose a place to be homeless, I'd start by choosing a place with good weather, that's a (hypothetical) fact.

> but TypeScript was invented at MSFT Sure, but JavaScript was already there, so I don't look at it as a MSFT idea event though I agree it's technically a msft product.

Yeah GitHub/TypeScript kinda don't count. I have an ignorant question though : do people use c# or f# in a non-windows system, by choice ? Otherwise, wouldn't that be a self fulfilling need ? Edit: typo

I agree! Excel is fun to play with as long as you use it on windows, I forgot. VScode I only used in college, but it seems useful. I'll update my list, paint and excel I consider good products indeed.

OT but seriously, name one good Microsoft product other than paint.

I think the op meant that as an analogy : in order for you to use their software, you pay 1000$ upfront for the hardware. So you can look at it as a one time payment/rent to use their environment. Since you need to upgrade iPhones quit

Thank you! I got it wrong because of the negativity of the article. They seem mad because they missed an opportunity to make 1.6M then.

Does anyone understand the legal logic behind such a risky decision? I mean, if they confiscate an asset, why wouldn't they just hold onto it until the legal process is settled? If it was a car that they confiscated, would they still h

Median wage in ny was 68k according to the US census bureau (2015-2019). OP was talking about a mean instead of a median btw.
