Working in smaller steps is how you should build software. Constantly get feedback and re-evaluate what you're working on with other members of the team. Instead of giving an estimate, use t-shirt size.

With constant feedback, the whole team is participating in the emergent complexity, instead of being passive and just annoying you with "is it done yet"?


but what if I’m working on something meaningful?

I can’t MVP my way to a simulation physics engine, when each feature or partial feature requires weeks of planning, testing, iterating and tweaking- privately, before anything can be delivered to be used.

Feedback, implies a working widget.


Feedback does not need to be on a MVP, it can be given before that from your fellow engineers. That said there are tasks which really take a lot of research before even fellow engineers can give feedback.


Agile pretty much throws out estimating anything bigger than a sprint. Even then, points don’t mean time and velocity can be wild for a mature team.


I don't need constant feedback, I mostly need to be left alone to do the actual work. Problem is, the Cult of Agile gets nervous by the third daily standup where you just say you're still working on the same thing, because everyone knows no programming activity ever takes more than a large t-shirt's worth of days, however many that is.


Why was it deleted?


What does that have to do with present day? You're comparing two different times and circumstances


Have they made any mice immortal yet (with continuous treatments of stem cells and other therapies)?


You have to be careful with such high doses over a long period of time. It can cause heart arrhythmia.


There are conflicting studies, but recently, it was determined you need adequate vitamin B levels to support omega-3.

As an aside, you can definitely over-dose on omega-3 which can cause afib, and increase your chance of stroke. I was taking 2 grams per day and definitely had arrhythmia issues. Decreasing the dosage to 500mg per day eliminated the arrhythmia.


Didn’t know that was possible with Omega 3. The pills I have are 660mg and recommends 1 per day, seems you took about 3.5x that dose

By the way, how can you detect arrhythmia? Blood pressure monitor or Apple Watch? General feeling?


You can use an Apple Watch and it might eventually catch it or if you have pulse oximeter you can watch the pulse wave or you can just feel for it at your wrist, carotid neck, or left peck. You want a steady beat, you can tell if there is a pause.

Probably the best way, other than a medical Holter monitor that you wear and a cardiologist reviews, would be to buy a chest strap that can independently record and you can review the rhythm. Look up PVC, PAC EKG.

Some premature contractions are normal. Nothing to go off on a tangent if you catch one in blue moon.

All that said, you will probably just feel a small kick in the chest and the above is unnecessary. Some people tend to anxiously get into these things without reason but the above can help with gathering evidence for your doctor if you suspect a problem that doesn’t go away with stopping supplements or coffee or booze etc. as sometimes heart things can be transient and hard to catch out of the moment. Palpitations can be caused by A LOT of things, I’ve noticed them from coq10, but there are so many other possibilities that it’s not necessarily something you want to self hack if you really do have a problem.


People can often feel arrhythmia. It can feel like heart fluttering, or skipping a beat, like when you get startled. Depends on the type of arrhythmia too.


That's exactly how "palpitations" were so named, because they can be unmistakably felt by the patient.


Some people can’t, I don’t understand how but they do exist.


General feeling. At night I could definitely feel it going to sleep, and it went away after decreasing the dose. It could be a coincidence, but regardless of my personal experience, there's actual science behind it. Too much o3 can affect the blood vessels.


Terminator 1 & 2, Predator, Ghostbusters, Office Space, Step Brothers, Idiocracy, Monty Python and the Holy Grail (I find comedies the most re-watchable)


Sounds pretty reductive and dismissive. Have you actually used LiveView and compared the DX? I've used a a few of the technologies you listed, and LiveView is a different animal.


That is completely corrupt. The government is picking winners and losers. What about sub shops that bake their own rolls?


Well, at the very least we will see employees leaving Panera in droves and I'd bet they'd be forced to increase their wages to just keep the doors open.


Not when other places are closing because they're forced to raise prices to still make a profit while paying higher wages, meaning less customers.


I thought people's behavior these days was to ignore calls from numbers they don't know and let the phone screen it. I don't ever have problems with unknown numbers or SPAM calls on my Pixel


As in you never get spam calls, or you don't consider them a problem becausee you ignore them?

Because I get 2-3 a day on my Pixel and they annoy the poop out of me, even though I don't answer them.


I have my phone set to Dot Not Disturb except for explicit contacts
