I think Fabi is licking his chops thinking he can now finally be a world champion since Carlsen is out and Ding maybe won't be too hard to best. He predicted lots of lines in the match or saw better ones from his commentator chair (gra

I would want a way to view all the slides for a particular deck together, but here it seems I can only click a slide and see just that slide, no way to go back or forwards. I know in some cases the full deck may not be available but often t

Who knows. The point is, if when not restricted you get a ton of db connections, then any restriction on that almost definitely means you are imposing a bottle neck. The only way this would not be the case is if it was trying to create db c

Not sure how MSFT usually handles it, but when I was acqui-hired (by a different large tech company, not quite on MSFT scale, but no trifle) I dealt almost exclusively with a person from Business Development. Maybe it is a bad sign that the

Silly to look at % down from ATH when we had a massive bubble that peaked and popped. If you look at return overall, crypto beats ALL stock market investmets.

What we need is more data. What is the % of Covid-19 cases that require hospitalization (and are people actually going to hospitals when they don't need to?) ? Is it 20x that of flu or 2x? We need random testing throughout the populati

Is this foresight a function of the CEO themselves or more of being in that position (ceo of a technology company). In other words, being in that role you have time and resources to think about "what is next?" also this is somewha

If the appstore isn't providing the massive increase in revenue that it should, then you should definitely leave. It will be interesting to see in a year or 2 if they regret their decision or not.

Do you think MCAS worked well in the event of a failed angle of attack sensor? I mean ignore fucking "stability" semantics. Also this: "The MCAS deflects the horizontal stabilizer four times farther than was stated in the ini

Lol, these things are big !!! I had the scale all wrong. When I saw the pictures and video I thought this plane was something one or 2 people could hold (6-12 ft wing span). Then I saw people talking about 600kW and I was like, no freaking

Wait a sec, didn't the steel prices increase (and didn't the tarrifs cause lots of other issues)? Was that coincidence? Here's an analysis : https://www.tradepartnership.com/pdf_files/2002jobstudy.pdf ,

You either like strongly typed object oriented langs or you don't. If you do, then a bit of verbosity is really nothing. If there are actual lang improvements beyond saving me a few characters, I'll take them.
