Good point. I agree the word "productivity" is bundled up with many meanings, and it could be a whole study in-itself to unpack it. Preliminarily, I'd say productivity is pragmatic towards-which one identifies oneself (a hunt

Thanks for the writeup. I think you're right: the idea of external validation / accountability is definitely involved here as well. And I think it's easy to read what I wrote to mean that "shame is objectively bad,"

Good points! I agree the feeling of shame is pre-reflective. At the same time, I think we have the possibility of comporting ourselves in a way-of-being that better copes with shame. For me, By reflectively using your pre-reflective feeling

Okay, so shame exists because it is good for a society that is built on shame? I don't mean to be derogatory in anyway, but the fact something is stabilizing doesn't mean it is good. I believe there are better ways to build relati

Yes, I'm not questioning whether one would be more productive (I think actually someone would be more productive!). It's the value of this productiveness in the context of manipulating shame. Maybe for you shame is not a factor he

No, I'm not referring to pair programming. That is a dialogue between two people working to get something done (no shame involved). I'm focussing more on the aspect of having someone looking over your shoulder. Just a pair of eyes

Anybody else get an immediately negative visceral reaction from this? If I'm understanding this correctly, the aim is to manipulate our sense of shame/guilt to boost productivity. After sitting with the feeling for a bit, here ar

You're right; I don't know OP, and I've probably made some assumptions that are incorrect, but that's just the inevitable consequence of stating anything positively. I did, however, try not to attempt to state anything a

A passion is something that is personal and internal. It's your direct experience with a craft that is becomes a natural extension of you. When you change your relationship to that craft such that you require some external means, it no

Given the post's lack of detail relating to the experience of creating the game itself, I fear OP is treating his craft as a means to an end; instead of loving his craft for what it is. I fell into a similar trap when, after leaving my

I think the point being stated is that exercising shouldn't be seen as a means to an end for living-the-longest-life.

well, we can think of the synthesis as returning to monolithic services with the understanding the sufferings of microservices.

The person came forward with the device and it was determined that the phone wasn't actually a Galaxy Note 7, but was just named that way. We were very close to being diverted though.

I was on this flight. The flight wasn't late; but we almost had to be diverted because no one came forward with the device. It took about 30 minutes and 4-5 reminders from the flight attendant and pilot to resolve the issue, making me

If you're interested in learning the basics of reductive synthesis, I recommend Syntorial ( http://www.syntorial.com/ ). It teaches in an interactive way by first playing a tone and then asking you to configure the synt

How does everyone else modularize their javascript? I'm kind of a noob when it comes to this (jQuery spaghetti, cough cough), so I'm really interested in this subject. This article was awesome; definitely going to take a look at t

I don't understand how a service can be both secure and centralized. You'd have to give 100% of your trust to a single entity. I'm not pointing fingers, but DDG is a good example of this situation. If you want greater securit

Cool. I'm curious: what was your motivation for doing this rather than using Chef's encrypted data bags? Is it because it's tightly integrated with IAM? If that's the case, does that mean you guys use a cookbook that tig

Like the idea of using Geohashes to quickly search for "near" objects and then using the client's processing to extract lat/lngs. I've setup postgis before and it was more of a hassle than I wanted it to be. This al

I don't have a good answer for you, but let me shoot a question back at you: "How do you determine whether the code you're looking at is good or bad?" Surely, there's an algorithm you run in your head that looks at

Self-maintained groups and incentives based on performance. It would be interesting to adopt this in the tech area: the amount and quality of your unit tests means you get paid more. You can also do code analysis: look at branching factors;

I'm sure we could create an anonymous payment system, however, it would come with a lot of constraints. For example, everyone in the network would pay X dollars to be a part of the anonymous network. Each person cannot pay more than X dolla
