FWIW - I found "The Bug", by Ellen Ullman, to be a really engrossing piece of fiction to read. I wasn't aware she'd authored other works. I'll have to check them out!
|array| looks like it’s taken from the notation for cardinality of a set (number of elements in a set)
I think it'd be good to be prepared to show and explain what you actually did, on the ground to build the business and demonstrate that it wasn't just a side project which you threw up and hoped for the best, but…
Odd. I believe my 2018 model year Volvo allows me to start the car, take the key with me, and lock the doors (so long as I take my key fob with me).
Re the odometers, in my 2018 Volvo and my Wife's 2019 XC40. They are all accurate, but for different purposes. 1. The standard "life of the car" odometer is permanently on the left gauge, top reading 2. There is one…
I'd really like to see the inverted-T cursor block back... I can almost live with the low-travel keyboard and actually kind of like the Touch Bar (especially with iTerm2 support now). The arrow keys, however, I just…
I've been going back and forth on this for a while as I work on a product that allows users to build applications in a drag and drop visual manner. What I've seen is that while novices fairly quickly ramp up and get…
I also work in product management and couldn't agree more with okabat's comment. PM means so many different things in so many different places. One thing to try... if the shop isn't probing you to find out what you want…
More importantly than hosting the ads natively is handling media sales themselves. I think offloading that work to ad networks and ad exchanges is the first step in giving up responsibility for what gets shown to a…
Not necessarily. There could still be room for these bulbs if they turn out to be as energy efficient as LEDs or CFLs, but are less expensive to manufacture (leading to lower off-the-shelf costs).
In the days of friction shifting, it used to be common to mix and match components across the entire drivetrain. You could have shifters, derailleurs, chains, freewheels, and hubs all from different manufacturers.…
Although, even bicycles (at least those designed for racing) are starting to become more and more proprietary. Try mixing and matching Shimano and Campagnolo shifters and derailleurs or using a seatpost from an…
I also recommend meditation. If the spiritual connotations put the OP off, focus on the mindfulness aspects. Mindfulness is really about focusing, or letting go of distractions so that you can focus. For an easy…
When I switched from an iPhone to an Android handset, I found that I not only had to switch off iMessage, I had to switch it off while my SIM card was still in the iPhone. Switching iMessage off after the fact didn't…
It's also great for sharing collections of API calls as a sort of live demo.
What behavior are you looking for? I noticed that recently (maybe with a Chrome update?) that packaged apps run/show up as independent apps in the OS X task switcher.
I do sometimes declare e-mail bankruptcy and just archive/move everything to a folder for later reference. To the OPs point, if something is important, people will generally follow-up.
I think this hints at the crux of the problem. I have no problem with others working long hours, and will even put in a stint here and there when I feel it's warranted. The problem I see is that it slowly becomes the…
I'm working on some apps that make it easy to track time on tasks. The end goal is to be able to build out personal workload forecasts. The whole thing is built around integrations with existing services. Today, Asana…
Product management could be a great fit for the OP. However, PM means a lot of different things. Even within one company, day-to-day experiences of PMs can vary a lot depending on the nature of their product or…
While "product manager" has different meanings at various companies, I'd expand the description of PM to include all the wrangling of sales, marketing, and customer service that goes into shipping a product as well.
I have found http://websequencediagrams.com/ and http://draw.io/ to be really useful for preparing diagrams for inclusion in specs.
I'm guessing that most people who are taking the sort of violent action mentioned in the article probably don't understand that. That may be part of the problem. For most people outside of the tech field, all this…
I love stuff like this. I've been doing some of my own work around this idea by measuring the time it takes me to do certain everyday tasks. My morning routine is about 15 minutes. So is going to the coffee cart on the…
The OP is plotting the ratio of page-aligned vs. unaligned access time against problem size. So, on the y-axis, a value of 2 means the page-aligned access took twice as long as the unaligned access. Took me a few…
