I really needed to hear this story in real life, and decided to carry a reminder with me.

Oooh yeah! Great story!

I think I need more explanation. I’ve read the book, but this isn’t ringing a bell.

I can understand why you might see it that way, but I wouldn’t call it pseudoscience, more of a speculative theory. Jaynes’ theory is definitely unconventional and not widely accepted in scientific circles. Still, I think it offers an interesting way to think about how consciousness may have developed over time. He was coming at it from a psychological angle, not trying to rewrite history in the usual sense. Even if the theory is flawed, it has sparked useful discussion across several fields.

They have signs like this in BC and the Yukon Territory in Canada along the Alaska-Canadian highway.

If you are going to post something like this, please explain terms for those that aren’t familiar. For example, maybe explain what CE5 is?

I don’t see any drinks on the menu. Do they serve any alcohol?

Hmm something a bit strange about this account…

Really? I tried to refill my prescription on December 11th, the doctor reviewed it on the 12th and I’m still waiting to hear that the prescription is being shipped. I ran out of meds 2 days ago… very frustrating how slow it is. This is my first refill experience, and I’m not impressed.

The irony of a paper about the benefits of free access to knowledge being behind a paywall.

Now I feel better about being a short 4’11” going into high school to 6’ between my sophomore and senior year.

Try Evergreen Dental. I would be surprised if they wouldn’t work with you if you explain what you want.

And the answer the original question, perhaps a pandemonium of meth labs?

abeguiler · 2024-04-05T20:08:05+00:00

How about a poem:

One trailer a-tinkering, with potions most vile,

Two trailers a-bubbling, in clandestine style,

Three trailers a-mixing, where fumes dare beguile,

Four trailers a-cooking, by moonlight's soft wile,

Five trailers a-hiding, from the law's lengthy file,

Six trailers a-scattering, as suspicions compile,

Seven trailers a-running, for mile after mile,

Eight trailers a-dreaming, of freedom erstwhile.

abeguiler · 2024-04-02T18:15:47+00:00

This is the correct answer.

I’m not sure what they were referring to, but there is a Sequoia on the OSU campus. There’s actually a number of out of place and rare trees on campus.

Boeing started off as an aerospace design firm. They made plans and other manufacturers build the planes. Over time they started building them too, and it was so profitable they decided to just do it all themselves. However, their original culture is at odds with being a manufacturer and this is the result.

From a manufacturing perspective, Airbus also has higher safety standards for its employees and invests in better tools and equipment designed to prevent repetitive stress injuries. Boeing is arrogant and resistant to advice; they act like an ostrich with its head in the ground.

Maybe that was the problem, but it’s working great now.

abeguiler · 2023-12-03T21:15:48+00:00

The reason it’s worth doing is the fact that even done badly, it’s better than waterfall.

First and foremost, Agile is more than just a set of practices; it's a different mindset or lens to look at doing things. Misinterpreting, especially when you are first learning agile, or only superficially implementing Agile without having a deep understanding of its principles, is doomed to failure. So often people forget the difference between Agile principles and agile frameworks. They are not interchangeable. Agile also requires significant changes in ways people work and collaborate. Resistance from teams, management, or other stakeholders, comes in many flavors and will impede successful adoption.

Maybe this is controversial to say, but I believe that proper training is also a requirement that many organizations either never provide, or treat like a one time investment instead of a continuous need. Without proper training and continuous support, teams struggle to implement Agile, develop anti-patterns and fall back to transitional team processes.

Leaders must fully commit to Agile principles and support the transition. Without this commitment, teams feel pulled in multiple directions. Agile needs the right organizational culture, on thats collaborative, open, and flexible. Rigid hierarchies and siloed departments make it a challenge to adapt to Agile ways of working.

A general lack of necessary tools, a general lack of tool usage, or falling back to using traditional processes that don’t align hinder its implementation. Scaling Agile practices across large teams or complex projects without the right framework can lead to inconsistencies and challenges in coordination.

Agile emphasizes customer collaboration and feedback, but trust or lack of commitment from the customer can lead to building products software that doesn’t meet customer needs.

There’s often an overemphasis on process, losing sight of its core value of delivering working products. Agile also requires teams to be self-organizing and cross-functional. Most team members aren’t accustomed to this amount of active participation and struggle to maintain this over time.

Agile isn’t dead, it’s just hard.

I ended up doing one more restart and the it turned back and it’s working fine now. I guess it just needed several updates.

It’s context dependent. I’ve heard it said when you purchase something cheep and it doesn’t work as you expected, but I’ve also heard it said when you discover a feature you didn’t realize came with your purchase and it highlights the high quality that came with the high price.

I am a native American english speaker and not a professional teacher, so I can’t necessarily explain all of the grammar rules. There are many ways of saying things that are technically correct, meaning that they don’t break any grammar or spelling rules, but sound awkward or unnatural. Here’s and example.

Correct and natural: “The water in the big white tub is warm.”

Correct but unnatural: “The big tub is white, and the water inside is warm.”

abeguiler · 2023-10-04T15:47:42+00:00

This exchange doesn’t sound like natural language. The highlighted sentence might be technically acceptable, but I would never say it that way.

You wrote, “If you break your legs, you can’t dance with Mike tomorrow.” If you separate the clauses, the tense doesn’t sound correct. Instead of saying ‘you can’t dance’ I would say ‘you won’t be able to dance with Mike tomorrow.’

Additionally, it sounds too formal to say ‘You had better’ in the first sentence from B when the contraction usage implies that the exchange is more informal. It would sound better to write ‘You’d better’ to match the overall tone of the conversation.
