My manager once accused me of overinflating my (granted, very conservative) estimates just to be able to pull off a Scotty and be early in 10% of the time.

Teach this to your manager: At the beginning of a task, uncertainty is highest. Under no circumstances should you give an estimate in ‘man-hours’. Even days is too precise. The first estimate should be in months or years (of course depending on the size of the project). Then, as your insight into the project grows, you refine that to months, then weeks, later days. A vague estimate with a lower and a higher bound is way more useful to your manager than a ridiculously ‘precise’ but highly speculative number.
This lesson was brought to you by either “Code Complete 2” or “Rapid Development” by Steve McConnel, and by my former manager who wanted projects estimated in minutes.
duh? One is a completely passive ‘experience’, while the other is more akin to a hobby: You perform an action, gain a skill and overcome obstacles that become more and more difficult.
Pst! Whatchu got at 6c?
Not noticing that there are two sets of exams.
body weight (not including body fat)
On the contrary (same source):
Very little alcohol enters fat because of fat’s poor solubility. Blood and tissue concentrations are therefore higher in women, who have more subcutaneous fat and a smaller blood volume, than in men, even when the amount of alcohol consumed is adjusted for body weight.
On an empty stomach, blood alcohol concentration peaks about one hour after consumption, depending on the amount drunk

So unless the girl threw up within an hour (give or take) after drinkinging, throwing up won’t do much.

I thought Ubisoft was known for their shitty launchers.
I, for one, am in favor of volume limits. Too many times ambulances get stuck behind cars whose drivers simply cannot hear the siren.
A text editor that doesn’t assume that the keys on my keyboard are in the same order as yours.
Let’s say “you wouldn’t have noticed there was a problem if there was no mismatch”. But then a few years later that max length gets dropped or increased and suddenly your password, which has always worked, isn’t accepted anymore, because now you’re pasting 2 extra characters.
I was also not talking about password fields, exclusively. Pasting stuff like customer identifiers or zipcodes into maxlength’d fields also begs for surprises, especially when you can’t see the whole input when you’re done with it.
As a website developer, it’s easy to just use the ‘maxlength’ attribute on fields you don’t want to exceed a certain length (for valid reasons or not). But then exactly this happens: A user pastes something in there, doesn’t notice that their input got truncated, and something, somewhere breaks.
‘maxlength’ is terrible user experience.
That’s a funny take. No, I haven’t :D
If the effects were truly the same, I’d rather drink a few coffees a day than go for a walk. It’s faster and tastes better.
Honestly, I find it great that Linus still manages the Kernel after all this time.
It might simply be over-exertion. I get cramps when I walk a lot. Maybe your resting position already includes tension in your calves?
Apparently the link between magnesium deficiency and cramps is shaky.
magnesium supplementation compared to placebo for treating idiopathic rest cramps […] Did not significantly reduce cramp frequency
Are all public clocks in the US digital clocks? Off the top of my head, I can tell you 4 locations within walking distance that have analog clocks, one of them being the train station.
