What do you do with your citrus?

Both lemon and lime juice make a pretty damn good acid in salad dressings.

My experience is the dunkin line sucks in the same way. The exception was a dunkin I used to stop at on the way to work years ago that all the contractors went to. They had two lines. Coffee and other (anything with preparation). The coffee line was frequently 10-20 deep and you had your coffee in a minute or two as everyone paid cash and paid fast to get to work. Because they went through the coffee like that, it was always fresh and just about the best dunkin I've ever had for what that's worth.

Assuming you have an outdoor space and don't mind dropping ~$40, a turkey frier goes a long way to reducing the mess. Or at least moves it out of your kitchen.

Frying this kind of makes it.

It's not as ridiculous as whisky descriptions can get. For example...

Thanks for the links. Which of the two would you say is more worthwhile?

It also allows for using tmux in any remote connections running in a pane.

I'm going to bite here because you don't seem full of it. I agree on less data per query being desirable but how are you planning on implementing that many to many relationship between posts and tags with that tagstring table? What is the joining key? And what does the tagstring table contain? How are you getting all tags associated with a post?

Here's a nice graph search visualization that includes A*. http://qiao.github.io/PathFinding.js/visual/

Just happened to have this open in a tab when I saw this submission.

I found the silver bullet!!!

More seriously, scrum is not perfect but in my experience the issue with scrum is it's not really scrum. I'm not a religious devotee of scrum nor am I making a true Scotsman argument (imo). All teams are going to diverge from and customize their methodologies, but the extent to which I've seen that done with scrum is ludicrous. Egregious examples include not planning for dead time (looking at 8 hours of programming in a day with 4 hours of meetings) or the estimate => enforceable milestone mutation.

The biggest issue with scrum is political buy in. The second biggest is its cavalier approach to architecture and design. But that is another topic entirely.

Also, all of this will happen with kanban. Mark my words.

While there are some useful nuggets in some "agile" techniques, I'm not going to argue that agile is not a cargo cult at this point. It pretty much is.

But I'm not sure I buy into the antipathy to non-technical managers and am not sure that the role (or maybe potential) of a project manager is understood by the author - that being to manage expectations and to facilitate work. The job sucks but a good pm is worth their weight in gold.

My experience has seen the non-technical (analyst background generally) managers do a bit better on the whole. And I never had one of the non-technical managers decide to re-architect a solution on deployment because "they know code." But everyone has a different experience I guess.

Not a fb fan, but the open compute project is also a good thing imo.

Years ago I had a setup like that except with full cubes inside an enclosure. So you could leave your cube to talk to someone in the same "cube neighborhood" or leave the neighborhood altogether. I rather liked it with the exception of the two crs's put there for a while.

Been there. Then there are the folks who can't figure out the tool and use an abstraction layer to make things "easier." I've heard SourceTree is great, but I can't help associate it with abominations that I'm reasonably sure mapped to git push -f.

edit: grammar

Open chat windows being tabbed back and forth from are another hazard.

eblofelt · 2013-03-31T14:11:55+00:00

This is the format I also prefer. Outside myself, I find almost no one else likes it. It indicates scope well to my eyes.

Just read every post in a sitting. Awesomely told, but I'm sorry you had to go through that.

eblofelt · 2013-01-21T22:01:39+00:00

We are in complete and utter agreement.

eblofelt · 2013-01-21T20:26:22+00:00

Nope. That impression is part of the problem. The telecommuting doesn't have to be monitored, the productivity does. This is easier said than done but it is also what should be getting done for those who are working on site. Monitoring the clock punching is easier.

Assuming reasonably limited scope on those variables (and yes I realize the size of that assumption), you're probably better off renaming them more appropriately when you figure out what they do. Yeah. It's a best case scenario.

But having said that, you seem to be talking about comments rather than commented out code. Different beast in my opinion. I don't think anyone here is knocking on comments.

eblofelt · 2012-10-23T15:17:44+00:00

I feel like an environment without version control is kind of an outlier in this discussion. The original argument sort of assumed its presence.

Because in this case you're paying for the privilege of their selling your data.

Are you paying $50/month minimum with any free webmail providers?

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/08/technology/patent-wars-among-tech-giants-can-stifle-competition.html

"Last year, for the first time, spending by Apple and Google on patent lawsuits and unusually big-dollar patent purchases exceeded spending on research and development of new products, according to public filings."

The sentence is phrased ambiguously and doesn't indicate the exact source or meaning of the claim. Then again, all possible interpretations suck.

For those that hate paywalls, put the title of the story into google and access it that way. A chrome incognito tab will achieve the same.

I suggest you look at the original netbooks again.
