A low-overhead bullet journal (i.e. zero time spent to make it look pretty) works best for me - preaching to the choir, man!

Nice link, thanks! I was put on to this by someone who had done defence work in their past. They used the "Concept of Operations" for their preferred document style which I also like.

I use the "pyramid format". Conclusion first. Main points with little explanation next. Explanation of main points after that. Details last. That way someone can stop reading at any point and still have a complete view at some lev

I often print out my D&D maps (say, from a scan of one I've drawn), transcribe important features on to it using coloured pens and run the game from that. Whitespace and simplicity is a feature here... "photo-realistic" m

You'd need to ask the author of the article. I backed the original DW project and was a user of Google+ in that time and place where the "Old School Renaissance" (my preference) clashed with "Story Gamers" - "y

The "all this debugging was done in assembly language with minimal symbol table information" was basically true in 2009-2011 too. The (non-CrowdStrike, non-Microsoft) team I was on was developing Windows intermediate drivers which

Those who have spent time writing NDIS/TDI drivers are those who know the minefield!

In > two decades I've never set eyes upon someone using Apple hardware for development unless it's as a dumb terminal. I work in embedded, hardware and applications, not mobile, web or scientific. I am sure such users are out t

Thanks for posting this! I have very fond memories working with/under various ex-INMOS folks including the author while at XMOS. I also read Gries at University :-)

I got a Sensor Watch Lite after reading about it here on HN. LOVE IT. I don't use the TOTP complication but I did add a number of D&D dice rolling modes.

I recently got a russet brown Vario strap for my silver "Casio Royale" and I do rather like it. I'm not ashamed to admit I prefer cheap and cheerful digital watches to pedigree analog watches. We are programmers/electron

To be honest I don't like WOTC-era D&D all that much and prefer early TSR-era stuff and modern OSR games. However, I am surrounded by young people in my circles of real world friends who continue to play and post/YouTube about

Indeed. "Why won't more people play the games I like after I've been snarky about the games most people enjoy?"

Yes, would be nice to not need to mentally prepare to make that call.

Managers, if you're reading this, and you have engineers/developers "on call" but not contractually (off book), make it so, because it slightly sucks when you're having Christmas drinks but can't enjoy yourself

I think the definition of "campaign" has drifted significantly since that book was written but I agree.

I'm a little out of touch with the space-related investment right now in Adelaide, so I hadn't heard of these guys, but as soon as I saw that airport photo on the main page I knew where they were based! :)

I play/run D&D three times a fortnight using the O.G. editions (AD&D, B/X, retroclones). The brand is dead, long live the game!

I've got the whole Malazan series sitting in a box ready to read... alas, I'm pretty bushed by the time I have a moment to read and I'm sharing those precious moments before sleep with D&D prep too. I think I'll be s

Why destroy yourself? Work on getting that 50-60 hr/wk down or at least re-point it at something you want to learn on the job.

I've had a Kindle of some sort since 2011 and not once have I read a book through Amazon... not due to avoidance on my part, just haven't needed to! My first device was an "ad supported" Kindle 4 but since I never signed

I love the idea of this and want one... I've had to use various command-line or web UI in-house tools in direct sunlight on boiling 40°C days out in the field. Dreamed of setting up a Kindle with VNC or something displayed in a web bro

I wouldn't sweat it... it's customary to start a new laboratory notebook for each project.

Nice post! I've always kept a journal since using laboratory notebooks (and learning how to organise them) at uni. Over the decades I've settled on taking a notebook and running a bullet journal from the front page, in, and an &qu

In the (now far away?) past I used chroot jails in Ubuntu containing binary-compatible dependencies for chip sim tools. Regressions would be run on proper RHEL though so tool vendor support wasn't impeded by anything even remotely susp

Same. I used to read my 100s of blog subscriptions every day until Reader closed, I switched to Feedly, and I completely and utterly stopped following every single blog. I think Google+ filled that gap though, but when that shut down, I qui
