I’ve found a good counter is “imagine I am the person repressing the other side of this disagreement. What would you say to me”
Historically speaking the most reliable bridge has always been the edge of a sword
The thing he has spent his whole career doing unto others he finally did into himself
I mean there is certainly tons of evidence that some fossil fuels (coal most notably) are on the way out. Fossil fuels as a class? Maybe but still a bit early to make that call
No validation versus some kind of ground truth . His training data set is very small and geographically limited. His model is likely pretty inaccurate
There was an oversupply of officers. At any particular point in time many of the officers were “on the bench” at half pay. This made it easy to replace underperforming officers with those on the bench
Grady over on Practical Engineering is going to be so excited (-;
I read Sabres of Paradise and it absolutely had a lot of parallels with Dune, and was a major source. Good book too
You should go to the funeral if you think the right thing is to go to the funeral You should do it for yourself, out of respect for the person who died and respect for the loved ones remaining. Not out of societal…
That’s been a way of doing interviews in the Valley for at least 20 years if not longer
That was just what I was thinking. This approach will have the same issues that materialized views have as well
In a lot of companies the root cause of this kind of thing is not being willing to spend the kind of money needed to achieve the desired result You need to be honest with yourself about whether you can actually afford…
One of the problems with the article is BigQuery becomes astronomically expensive at mid to high volumes. So there is a strong incentive to keep the data in BigQuery manageable or to even move off it as data volumes get…

Generally in a healthy org it’s more like 8-10 direct reports per line manager. At 200 people you should probably be still at around 3 levels deep. The VP Eng with 8 line managers could easily run a 70 person…
Sure toe dipping. At 200 people you’ve hit a Dunbar number and you need some process. Some kind of lightweight performance cycle for instance. If it takes more then a day offsite you are probably overkilling it…
Yeah exactly. 200 is still a level where everyone knows everyone in their team and all the leaders know each other personally. I mean spending a lot of time aligning with other leaders. How many director + leaders can…
This section describes a tremendous amount of bureaucratic overhead for a company that appears to only have 200 employees. It feels like they have adopted processes that are really only needed for much larger orgs
It’s fascinating that the conclusion / forecast is that tools will abstract engineering problems and DE will move closer to the business . While over the last 20 years the exact opposite has happened and the toolset has…
Actually your numbers are wrong Elevation gain during walks matter hugely. Walk up a few pretty decent hills and your 400 number becomes a 600 number
Why do I want to end this statement with “what could possibly go wrong ?”
Well, inevitably you die ?
Betting the OP doesn’t have kids. Until you have kids you are playing the game on easy mode The biggest problem with the approach is large, optional purchases that effect quality of life. Things that are too big for…
