Unrelated to the license plates, but the war is remembered differently in Canada, in Britain, and by historians. I think Wikipedia has it right calling the war "indecisive". In Canada, the war is remembered as the time we trounced

You'd need to write a script yourself for this. The general ledger generally doesn't include enough information about all of your assets, expected end of useful life, serials, etc. It's pretty common for accounting software p

I was speaking recently to a graphic artist who is terrified of Stable Diffusion and the like. I mentioned that these tools can augment their ability to do work instead of just replacing, but their point is that they are a graphic artist be

I agree with most of this, except that I'm even more bullish on the Steam Deck. My wife has never been much of a gamer, but bought a Steam Deck. Now she can play her cozy games in a way she never could before. It's not great for A

Nintendo has such a great, family friendly brand. If I was in charge, I wouldn't want my brand to be anywhere close to being associated to this type of thing.

Yes! I've read and reread them many, many times. There's nothing more comforting to me than picking up one of those books. I've never actually finished the series, I don't think I'll ever be read for the ending.

Just a gut feeling, but Exxon has way more skin in the game than NASA does from a financial point of view since this is an existential threat to their business. That being said, we've always all had skin in the game, we just didn'

I agree with everything you're saying especially from the individual's perspective, but I think its valuable to look at the incentives from Salesforce's perspective. They paid an incredible amount of money for Slack because o

I think there is still a place for books, but the age of the 200 or 300 page business/productivity porn book is over. I've often felt like they were a few pages of useful content, then 200 pages of filler so the book stands out on

The list of constitutional crises in the former Dominions is a short list, so I thought I'd point out a similar event that happened in Canadian history. Wikipedia calls it the King-Byng affair ( https://en.wikipedia.org/

I'm shocked that you do this to be honest, because I have my friends and I also do this. I didn't realize that we weren't alone. Not that I thought we were special, moreso that we didn't think anyone else would want to d

OODA loops might look superficially like the same concept, but that's hiding a lot of the complexity of it. The difference between the scientific method and OODA is that OODA is a framework for making decisions under extreme uncertaint
