Musk is the lead designer for the rocket. That's not something Bezos does, for example.

Loved Wave, thought it was terrible that it got shelved

Exercise is bad for your body. Recovery from exercise is very good.

So... many... assassinations

For something like lead you can look at different parts of the world at the same moment where lead was abolished at different times in the past.

Wow.

I'm struggling to imagine multiple professional law enforcement staff closely examining it and not noticing that it makes no claims to be US currency.

Story time?

Obvious question is how much water has to touch how much magma to yield that much energy?

This does worry me, though https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyby_anomaly

The thing that really gets me is just how densely the whole mechanism is packed together. What a masterpiece. The techniques must have been developed incrementally over many revisions of the machine, perhaps over several lifetimes by various machinists and/or designers.

Sadly I read somewhere that the "slop" between the gears (the mechanical imperfections that add or multiply together over many gears) would overwhelm the more complex calculations that some of the machine was intended to perform.

I've never seen any kind of computer system that can drive multiple monitors reliably. Sleep, disconnect, awaken, reconnect, etc. and some simple combination will end up with a monitor that sleeps, or the resolution is wrong, or other more amusing issues. It's 2021, and this doesn't seem like too hard a problem, but here we are.

Well you can always just log in and remotely debug it via a REPL... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gZK0tW8EhQ

I don't get it. Does this mean SCO had a valid legal point after all if IBM paid them $14.5M?

Never understood why somebody else couldn't take over the same sort of role. As I understood it, PJ wasn't particularly close to the case in any way, she was just interested and was collecting relevant documents and putting them on the web site. Can't we do the same sort of thing in a subreddit, or in various other locations?

As somebody who's quite a bit of a generalist, I really don't see this happening. IT is just such a huge field that knowing enough general stuff to be useful is still pretty hard.

Many/most senior devs do not have the experience you described. But there are often a lot of meetings, reports, and managing other devs.

It's extremely common. And many of them are fairly productive until an awkward bug shows up.

Maybe ask female employees of Uber if they agree with that

There were only a handful of mass extermination camps. There were tens of thousands of concentration camps. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/nazi-camps....

Don't be put off by the bit about vampires.

You might enjoy this amazing talk. I've linked to a part when the next 20 seconds of explanation turns the amazing up to 11. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=er_lLvkklsk&t=1436s

If you're living in a world where people are prepared to pay much more for your work than you first thought, eventually you're going to end up pretty happy

One of the only bankruptcies in history to make a profit!

I worked for the Australian subsidiary in the 90s when they had "Vision 2000" of becoming the world's third largest telco by 2000.

These UML diagram tools are always pretty nice, but strangely enough they all seem to omit the collaboration diagram, which I found to be one of the most useful types. Yes, technically you can kind of simulated with Component diagrams, but it's not quite as good.

Quantum theory disproves it

Start calling each sprint "the stroll".

This is one thing I love about MWI... it has at least some kind of explanation for randomness. For every other interpretation they do some stuff and then choose a random outcome, and I want to ask "and how does that random step happen?"

Quantum Physics has perfectly random outcomes

I give you... http://www.swatchclock.com/

The macbook range had years of delays
