When I read "I altered the build script" I was hoping for some genius tip on improving the build time.

That's exactly what I did!

He did. The build time was improved in the way he wanted it improved.

Not only for compiling...
My work laptop has been so bloated with things running in the background by the IT department that it takes around 5 minutes just to get ready to work after loging in.
You can still fire things, but some (or many) of them will wait to pop up or start executing.
But hey... they know it better.

We have the same IT team.
80% of company works remotely connecting to remote VMs.
Default answer of IT team to any type of slowness is: "It's the connection on your side."
Even though it is quite easy to prove the VM running the person's desktop is running on h/w which is overwhelmed.
Ce la vie.

Reminds me of a conference paper many years ago by database guru Jim Gray: The five minute rule. Then entire paper was three or four pages (or was it just two? The photocopy is too deep in my piles to digg it out ...). I think he used division in his calculations, but certainly no more advanced math or theory
By simple calculations, he showed that with the current prices, if you reference a data item every at least every five minutes, it is cheaper to buy more RAM to hold the item than buying a disk controller and a disk for swapping it out. This was way above common beliefs in the database world - no one would intuitively think that a value referenced only every five minutes, twelve times an hour, would deserve permanent residence in RAM!
But Gray's calculations were so simple and lucid that they were obviously correct, based on the current prices of the day for IBM mainframe components. He was not rebutted. You could of course replace the prices he quoted with today's prices. Every now and then we did that, for the following years, and the five minutes increased to ten, fifteen, ... The commonly believed myth that you had to swap data to disk because RAM is too expensive "never" held water!
(We are obviously talking about large database installations where you can save money on not buying yet another disk. You can't easily adapt it to a single-disc PC.)

You can actually see stress levels spike in people's brainwaves when their work schedules are packed. "There is no pain, you are receding"
Why yes, I do feel a little slimy for posting a Huffington Post item.

The best is not to have them one after another, but to have them on the same time...
You can tell each one, you are attending the other one and in the meanwhile do actually work.

"What we often call laws of physics are really just consistent mathematical theories that seem to match some parts of nature," theoretical physicist Sankar Das Sarma writes 'Guidelines of Thermodynamics' just doesn't have the same ring

Not sure I'd trust anything published by New Scientist or Futurism. Correction, I'm sure I wouldn't trust anything from these two garbage rags.

Then you got a “two-fer” on this one, with one quoting the other.

Yeah I read this one and I felt like what he was trying to say is "we don't have the exact laws". Which we know, and have known forever. I do agree we need a different language of thought to describe some of this, but it may turn out to be something we can actually describe perfectly well, and exactly, using our current language.
The problem may only in our brains hardwired to experience such a limited set, and behaviours of that set, of dimensions.

The Federal Trade Commission has filed an antitrust complaint in a bid to block Microsoft's planned $68.7 billion takeover of Activision Blizzard. I guess they're big Call of Duty fans (on Playstation)?
