I loved that system. One of my favorite techniques in the endgame was to attach a colony pod to a missile unit. You could then drop a city wherever you needed it behind enemy lines and get your injured units inside quickly. The AI never c

I had the same experience moving from IC to manager. I didn't realize the amount of work that managers are doing that I didn't see and more importantly that they couldn't tell me about. Retention is definitely one, but there

The NATO phonetic alphabet was one of the highest reward-for-effort things I've ever learned. It doesn't take long to commit to memory and become proficient with and the amount of time I've saved on repeating spelling (or ev

It's not just denials. This is anecdotal but my company moved from Aetna to UHC starting in January, and there are already dozens of threads in our internal slack about drug co-pays jumping 10-100x, despite the UHC rep's assurance

Imagine you're a 10 year old in a typical suburb in the US. There might be a pet dog or cat around if you're lucky, but nothing even at the level of a goat or chicken, let alone something wilder. Your nearest friend is two-three m

You might be surprised at how many salespeople are also introverts. Through years of being an (introverted) sales engineer, I've learned that outgoing socialization can be tough even for salespeople. Some of the most successful sales p

It's a delight to see the Haiku folks keep BeOS alive after all these years. I often wonder where we'd be today if Microsoft's illegal activities had been stopped soon enough for Be to survive. BeOS really felt way ahead of

Nope. We didn't evolve the ability to detect botulism in food because it's really, really rare unless you have the right conditions. Most of the stuff you'd find in nature has been exposed to oxygen, which prevents its grow
