Yes, the expression--not the Bond novels, for the expression has been around a lot longer. I believe that Sam Rayburn's branch water came out of a Washington, DC, tap.
That would still require him to listen to his girlfriend talk. With all the technological innovation available today, nobody should have to listen to their girlfriends talk.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to train partners to use your name once they fall out of practice? It's like there is a negative reinforcement stimulus applied everytime they do use your name.
I noticed that my wife stopped using my name when it became more ambiguous as to who she was talking to because our kids are now older and conversations (really instructions and queries) are at the "adult content" level rather then "child content" level.
> In astrology the rules happen to be about stars and planets, but they could be about ducks and drakes for all the difference it would make. It's just a way of thinking about a problem which lets the shape of that problem begin to emerge. The more rules, the tinier the rules, the more arbitrary they are, the better. It's like throwing a handful of fine graphite dust on a piece of paper to see where the hidden indentations are. It lets you see the words that were written on the piece of paper above it that's now been taken away and hidden. The graphite's not important. It's just the means of revealing their indentations. So you see, astrology's nothing to do with astronomy. It's just to do with people thinking about people.
Because most people like it and it improves metrics.
From the discussion on sticky header [0],
> Our preliminary results show that an overwhelming majority of test participants reported positive experience with a sticky header. Participants mentioned they enjoyed the ability to access important functionality from any part of the page.
> Overall, there was an average 15% decrease in scrolls per session by logged-in users on the 15 pilot wikis in the treatment group (with the new sticky header), compared to the control group (without the sticky header). This indicates that our hypothesis was correct - adding the sticky header to the page reduced the need to scroll to the top of the page significantly.
> there was a 2.8% and a 6.8% increase in the percent of people who were able to successfully complete at least one edit using the edit button within the sticky header,
It might improve stats for people who use the header, but I'm pretty sure that's a tiny fraction of users. I just want the screen space and consistent scrolling behavior, not a header popping in and out as you scroll around or reach the top of the page.
