Readit NewsChildren need grounding. "I need to win arguments with my own kids" is a vanity, that gives up a lot of the ground kids need for growing up.
I have a toddler now, and have tried this approach a number of times. She just says "no" to the choices....
For Europeans and Americans;)
I would like, for example, to create a superdb with basic task properties (title, deadline) and then create subdatabases that add more project-specific properties.
This, I'll be able to create a single view with all my tasks for the day in a single place, but also add all the info I need for individual tasks.
Unfortunately, for some reason, nobody (that I know of) built something like this into their apps.
Their options are
2 days 2 weeks 2 months 10 months
Then I triple the estimates before sharing with the business.
We don't estimate individual tickets/bugs at all, just overarching projects.
I also ask the business to estimate the commercial/user impact of the projects too, and we track and report the reality against their estimate, to hold a bit of a mirror up to them and as a way of pushing back on doing pointless work. Those estimates we use similar orders of magnitude for - £1k, £10k, £100k, £1m, £10m.
Fermi estimations like these really help avoid protracted negotiations and the lack of precision is a feature that makes clear they are estimated.
A few questions:
1. Is the dev edition hardware different?
2. If not, it possible to upgrade to a dev edition later, ie. Is it just a config thing on the server end?
3. If I have multiple trmnls how do I manage them? Is it possible? Do I need multiple accounts? Do they show the same stuff etc? Is "dev edition" for my account or per-device?
4. Using multiple apps - is it a split screen display, or do it cycle through the apps every x seconds? Is there a button to advance to the next one?
5. What's the resolution in real terms? Ie. Can I get a full month calendar to show and still be able to read entries? How many lines of Todo-list items can I have? What happens to over-flowed items?
6. how does it get updates? does it connect to my phone via Bluetooth or to my WiFi? Can it store multiple WiFi networks, for if I want to take it places?
It's not the cheapest, nor is it the most expensive. It's not as powerful as some systems, but it's not weak. It's not the easiest system to work with, but it's also not the hardest.
What it is is right in the goldilocks zone, and it allows businesses to DO BUSINESS, not end up having to worry about or even think about many decisions.
Day-to-day I work across 4 ecommerce platforms and Shopify is the one that doesn't keep anyone awake at night and "just works". Sure there's a ton more stuff some of the other platforms we use can do, but we also have a LOT more meetings, dev tickets and headaches with those platforms.
For like 80%+ of 0 to $50m+ online businesses it is by far the best choice because it means the team can focus on connecting with potential customers and selling stuff and not have to allocate nearly as much time or headspace to the Storefront system.
There's dozens of awesome shots I wish I could experience again on demand.
An engineer created a mixed reality pool table (YouTube channel "Stuff Made Here", all of his stuff is great).
You might look end up looking at lots of different slices of your data, and you might come to the conclusion, "Oh, it looks like France is statistically significant negative on our new signup flow changes".
It's important to make sure you have a hypothesis for the given slice before you start the experiment and not just hunt for outliers after the fact, or otherwise you're just p-hacking [1].
Srgmenting and data dredging is fine provided you run a new test with fresh data to validate if there is a causal relationship in any correlations found.
not the same for flying a plane
What about a manual car, where you need more understanding of the mechanics, and will stall or roll back on a hill if you don't? Or a manual car without synchromesh, where you have to double de-clutch to match the input and output shaft RPMs? Or a car without antilock brakes? Or without tire pressure sensors? Or automatic headlights? Or automatic wipers? Or lane assist? Or auto braking? Or cruise control? Or indicator blinkers that auto cancel? Or auto dimming headlights? Or warning messages that tell you about everything from seat belts to service warnings or blown bulbs?
All these are driver safety and convenience innovations that people take for granted so it is as simple as "press pedal car go vroom"...
Also, think about drones and model planes. With computer aided support they now have full autopilot, return to base, auto land etc. and can be operated by a kid! Why can't some of these types of support, safety and convenience make it over to light aircraft?
I keep thinking that a cassette player would be the ideal interface for something like this. The controls are as obvious and as tactile as it gets and the whole analog-mechanical experience is familiar to folks from that generation. If only tapes could hold more than two hours of audio ...
