I believe the question is less about input latency than (as mentioned,) scheduling latency or the amount of time from when the scheduler marks a process as 'ready to execute' to the time it actually starts executing. SchedLat ( ht

Focusing on the type of work being done is a bit of a bike shed, since the experiment isn't about the work per se, but the measurement of the work as a function of the employee alone - ie, without the context of the systems in which th

These kinds of examples are great illustrations of how damaging stack ranking (and most other performance evaluation systems) really are. Instead of focusing on improving their team's performance by reducing the friction inherent in an

"The Giant Pyrosome is a free-floating, colonial tunicate that is made of thousands of identical clones, together forming a hollow cylindrical structure that can be 60 feet (18 m) long and wide enough for a person to enter." Nope.

IRC is still a thing, and a very popular one at that. I've found that it's a great tool for finding like-minded tech people with relatively less 'noise' than in similar Slack or Discord groups.

There's a few commercial versions of this idea that combine some sort of insulation with a vacuum container, which increases the efficiency. https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/thermos-cook-and-carry-syste...

Maybe in your experience that conflation makes sense, but a developer is not necessarily a software engineer. There are distinct educational programs that differ between "computer science" and "software engineering", and

Thanks for the explanation. It's obviously been a long time since my machine code CS classes.

Based on your (amazing) write-up, it seems like there was some sort of abstraction layer between a programmer writing in some kind of assembler and the actual CPU registers, is that correct?

It's a very common complaint amongst EAs; there's a LOT of time management tools, but they're all geared towards an individual managing their own time. Imagine the work you have to do to manage a busy calendar, then multiply

I've seen a lot of these kinds of tools come and go, and this one looks as good if not better than most of the others. However, they're all missing out on a huge market: people in delegate or what's normally known as "Ex

I really like this idea, and have thought about doing something similar - glad somebody did it! However, why on earth do I have to sign in?
