I tried bowling like this when I was a teen, trying to get massive spin on the ball. I never got to a point where I could be consistent with spin and went back to using my thumb. Seeing a pro do it (and be successful) might have encouraged

Why not let the market sort it out? Maybe these startups need to take a down round, or be acquired for a fraction of their value? Maybe the VCs should step in and make bridge loans available if they want to keep their investments? If you be

I believe the worst thing you can be is a hypocrite. We can disagree about value systems, but if you don’t practice what you preach then I have no reason to respect you. I don’t care if Twitter decides to allow this kind of information or n

The lack of empathy in the comments here is worrisome. The manager was clearly failing to manage effectively. Blaming the engineer for not managing up with a manager who didn’t want to listen doesn’t make sense. This scenario is my biggest

My theory is that there’s already a lot of existing content using $ and $$ that GitHub wants to start rendering without requiring any changes. I agree the code block approach would be less ambiguous, but there is an advantage in going where

No. This is a very simple and reasonably efficient image format. It is notable for its simplicity and straightforward implementation, as well as its speed compared with png.

While this is nice in a lot of ways, it also can make it harder for your callers to use more dynamic patterns. You can no longer call it with process_data(**kwargs) and have the data field pulled out of kwargs. Of course you can st

I was expecting to see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimi_Heselden on here, but he didn’t invent the Segway, just owned the company.

The reason my team uses Fibonacci is that it cuts down on the “is this a 3, 4, 5, or 6 point ticket?” discussion. Each larger value should have more uncertainty, so there isn’t any point in getting more precise. Not being able to argue over

The src directory is becoming a popular option. See https://blog.ionelmc.ro/2014/05/25/python-packaging/#the-str... for an enumeration of the reasons. Another resource might be https://hynek.m

One of the problems with that is it makes account recovery after a compromise that much harder. If an attacker manages to prevent you from seeing those notifications (compromised email/sms) and you aren’t actively signing in, it’s poss

I’d love to learn more about what you were looking for and how Knewton might better meet those needs, even if Knewton ultimately wouldn’t be a product you’d use.

Take a look at Knewton Alta[1] as an alternative to MyMathLab. It uses OER content and is aimed at being very affordable - $44 for 2 year access or $9.95 a month (cancel anytime, which is great for those 6 week summer classes). We have cour

Don’t forget that the 12.4% is capped at about $130k of income. Social security would be able to offer much more than just poverty line benefits by removing the cap.

As far as I know, net neutrality only applies to wired ISPs, not mobile ISPs. So those sorts of deals are still possible in the US, just not from your cable company. And why would you need that when you have access to virtually unlimited da

Be careful when thinking about performance. It’s true Python isn’t as “fast” in CPU heavy microbenchmarks, but there are lots of real world trade offs to be made here. If you truly need to handle the kind of CPU bound and high connection co

Each time I read a post like this I say to myself “they’re not wrong, but something is also missing.” If there was a way to evaluate a candidate based on how well they would do at their actual job, in an hour or less, that couldn’t be games

I assume the author meant that there is a paper trail (similar to commit history or bug tracking) that can be reviewed at performance time to evaluate if an IC was paying attention to and contributing to the design process.

What I took away from the article is that just as one may support an argument with 'truthiness' i.e. I feel it in my gut but have no facts or the facts oppose my argument, there may be a thing called 'factiness' where al

One of the major benefits of macOS has been that everyone who uses it has a consistent experience. Some people will use more specialized applications or tools, but the base has been very consistent. Homebrew has made things even easier and
