> I’ve also learned to write code in a way that reduces cognitive load so that interruptions aren’t so disruptive to my productivity. I have too, but sometimes I have to read other people's code, and I don't have any…
The overall portion of athletes are vegetarian or vegan is low, but the ones who are can still perform very well. This suggests that the difference is based, at least in part, on preference.
This. In conversations about vegetarianism, it's pretty common for people to give their distaste of fake meat as their primary reason for not reducing their meat consumption. I really wish that wasn't the default…
I've experienced this first-hand. Joining an existing project and being put on test-writing duty very quickly turned me into our team's chief advocate of writing testable code.
I don't think volume of articles is a very good measure. The distribution of people who publish things has changed over time.
I've also done a lot of accessibility work. For people looking to get into it, another crucial thing is using "Semantic HTML". If every button is a <button> tag and every link is an <a> and every form element has a…
Bathrooms and kitchens
"Agile transformations" are bad, but I still think agile itself is fine. Teams of self-organized, competent developers tend naturally toward agile-like practices. I've seen agile's story-centric model of development…
I once read someone give similar advice about estimation. What stuck with me most is that if someone pressures you to change an estimate, it's no longer an estimate. Most managers don't actually want estimates.
My internal kid voice said "Yeah!". Until I read the other reply, it hadn't occurred to me that your rhetorical question's intended answer might be "No"
Another very important reason was left out: The 5th edition of the game was very well designed and received critical acclaim among veterans who were disappointed by the 4th edition. The article makes it sound like…
It is if there's large barriers to entry
I haven't researched it, but the two statistics could be reconciled if there are fewer smokers than non-smokers.
Those givens are far from trivial, and getting them wrong is dangerous. You may as well say "Given we can perfectly predict the market, it's possible to make a lot of money"
This is neat. I'll make sure to use it whenever I post something here or on Reddit. Great work
Adblock Plus has an "Acceptable Ads" program that allows non-animated, non-sound ads to remain on the page. People who think supporting the sites they visit is the right thing to do, can enable acceptable ads while…
My wife does this. One time a support scammer called trying to get her to install malware. It went something like this: "Ok. Please press the Windows key" "Ok (long pause)" "Did you press it?" "Yes" "What happened?"…
When I saw this in the HN feed, my first thought was "I should see if I got that email"
Our meeting format was for each person to say a) What they worked on, b) What they were about to work on, and c) If they needed help with anything. Our rule was that you could ask for help as long as you were just…
While I agree that free content isn't inherently better (and usually worse), I disagree that good content will emerge in free venues. Social media has crowd-sourced the costs of discovery. You don't have all day to…
What happens when someone puts it off their whole life and doesn't have money when they need to enroll?
Weird. Me too. I think it's because it's a frequently-visited site, so it shows up next to the Facebook button in the Chrome default page.
It's not incredible at all; it's reasonable. Peer review should be comprehensive enough to notice if, for example, there are serious numerical errors or if the conclusions can't be drawn from the figures. That some…
Who has a higher rate?
Global food shortage? If you're talking about ethanol from corn, that doesn't sound correct. Corn-based foods are dirt cheap
