That's because this isn't the first time someone has claimed to find the oldest, only for it to turn out the structures were formed by the action of scalding water on mineral sediments. Nick Lane describes this in some detail in his book, Life Ascending.
I think you're starting from the assumption that the guy goofing off is as productive as the guy who isn't, and the guy who isn't is generating lots of activity with little to no actual achievement. So let me turn the question around: How many team members have you fired for goofing off?
Why don't you just take my fucking word for it? You don't think I know what's changed in the project from one day to the next? How much actual effort it required? You think I'm fucking lying? An anon on slashdot, posting outside of work hours? Really? Get a grip.
I don't take lunch breaks. I have about 30 minutes "goofing off" per day. I go to the loo once or twice a day. I make 3 or 4 cups of coffee a day. I don't goof off for 7 hours a day and if I've finished my task I won't sit there and goof off until somebody gives me a new one. I'll get up and go and find one. You?
There are so many variables... there are a lot of older engineers who're content and coasting (most engineers in my shop are 50's or older and seem to do just that). Young guys have lots of crazy "cool" ideas, 99% of which are terrible. When it comes to breakout technologies though you really want more crazy. It's a gamble. If you have an idea that you want to pursue to completion it's different. You'd be better off with experienced engineers to do it.
There are already three tools for filtering: (1) block, (2) mute, (3) don't bother logging in.
Do you also walk up to randos in public and interject in their conversations too?
Are you fucking serious? Twitter is a public platform. It's for putting it out there publicly. If you don't want that you can change your account such that only people you specifically flag can see your tweets. Listen dude, if you don't understand the subject why the fuck do you bother having an opinion about it?
Basically yes. The SJW and leftists in general tend to be fucking morons who write the most amazingly stupid things on Twitter. Calling out their crap is one of life's real pleasures. It's more fun than throwing the coffee table at your TV.
Nobody's "constantly exposed to it" on Twitter. This is a censorship tool plain and simple. There's no agreed definition of "hateful conduct" anyway. For the typical SJW, just disagreeing with them is "hateful". And if you can't even do that on Twitter all the fun is sucked out of it and it becomes just another fucking marketing stream.
I have found over the last 15 years that a lot of my time is spent answering questions - the main question being "what's the best way to do this?" There's a good deal of discussion, research and prototyping that goes on (playing, I suppose). But it depends on your field. If you don't have any problems to solve and you're just writing boilerplate, you're more typist than developer.
No I didn't. I'm in the coding zone about 4 or 5 hours per day. Meetings, discussions, planning, writing up things so on is work. Sitting at my desk browsing Facebook isn't, but then as I said I don't do that.
Not really. I don't concentrate on coding problems very well in the mornings, so I tend to deal with organisational things like plans, ideas and so on.
I suppose it depends on the job. My productivity increases throughout the day. I'm not so good in the mornings but after about 2pm things start to pick up. It's probably the accumulation of caffeine.
As a dev who works 50-60 hours a week, I'm not sure I really agree. My working day tends to be mornings drinking coffee, meetings, fiddling about with code and discussing options with other developers. After about 3pm I tend to get into the zone. I finish around 7 and sometimes work weekends if there's a problem I'm particularly keen to solve.
The guy sitting at the next desk to me is a different story though. He seems to alternate between Facebook and Chrome, with brief 5 minute coding sessions. I'm not a snitch but it does fucking annoy me. I suppose it's like that in many places. A few key staff shoulder most of the burden and the rest blag a pay cheque.
Edge has no Adblock as of yet, so a lot of websites are almost unusable. Bing is fucking terrible compared to Google, so that's a no-go. Rewards? Kiss my ring.
The only question worth asking is "is it any good?". I have an Oculus DK II. It was fun for a while but once the novelty wore off my main focus was on the weight, inconvenience, eye strain and nausea. Personally I don't think they're going to take off just yet. We need to wait 25 years.
It's a complete mystery to my why an OS would bother shipping with a file system and memory manager. You don't strictly speaking *need* them. And all those fucking drivers. Complete waste of space.

You don't need to communicate your ideas to other people? Cool.

Compare commits to source control. It tracks changes, hence in a way it tracks how much work you've actually done.
Very good Mark. "toxic environment" is the key phrase.

I've got 2 - a hoover which is excellent and a blade-less fan which is also excellent. So I have no fucking clue what you're talking about.

Part of the job of being a developer is designing, planning and documenting. If you're only billing "coding" hours you're probably doing it wrong.
Why the fuck would the NSA want to listen to you? You people need to get over yourselves.

They're caused by anal sex you ignorant clod.
The man is a fucking idiot.

Very good. Quite right too.
