  1. scheduling

    A schedule or a timetable, as a basic time-management tool, consists of a list of times at which possible tasks, events, or actions are intended to take place, or of a sequence of events in the chronological order in which such things are intended to take place. The process of creating a schedule — deciding how to order these tasks and how to commit resources between the variety of possible tasks — is called scheduling, and a person responsible for making a particular schedule may be called a scheduler. Making and following schedules is an ancient human activity.Some scenarios associate this kind of planning with learning life skills. Schedules are necessary, or at least useful, in situations where individuals need to know what time they must be at a specific location to receive a specific service, and where people need to accomplish a set of goals within a set time period. Schedules can usefully span both short periods, such as a daily or weekly schedule, and long-term planning with respect to periods of several months or years. They are often made using a calendar, where the person making the schedule can note the dates and times at which various events are planned to occur. Schedules that do not set forth specific times for events to occur may instead list algorithmically an expected order in which events either can or must take place. In some situations, schedules can be uncertain, such as where the conduct of daily life relies on environmental factors outside human control. People who are vacationing or otherwise seeking to reduce stress and achieve relaxation may intentionally avoid having a schedule for a certain period of time.

  1. Scheduling

    In computer science, scheduling is the method by which threads, processes or data flows are given access to system resources. This is usually done to load balance a system effectively or achieve a target quality of service. The need for a scheduling algorithm arises from the requirement for most modern systems to perform multitasking and multiplexing. The scheduler is concerned mainly with: ⁕Throughput - The total number of processes that complete their execution per time unit. ⁕Latency, specifically: ⁕Turnaround time - total time between submission of a process and its completion. ⁕Response time - amount of time it takes from when a request was submitted until the first response is produced. ⁕Fairness / Waiting Time - Equal CPU time to each process. It is the time for which the process remains in the ready queue. In practice, these goals often conflict, thus a scheduler will implement a suitable compromise. Preference is given to any one of the above mentioned concerns depending upon the user's needs and objectives.

  2. Nick Bloom:

    It's fine being explicit that this is 45 minutes of catch up social time, hybrid is not the way things used to be and so we are going to have to be more deliberate about scheduling social time in the office.

  3. Wes Siegal:

    It’s easy, especially for someone, who has just raised capital, to fall into an idea of scheduling milestones and deliverables and distributing accountability for the work to different people on the team, but there is a failure often times when they do that, to stay focused on how all of these elements need to work together for the business to work as they envisioned, and to be able to catch signals as early as possible that would drive a pivot.

  4. Mathias Cormann:

    The good news is we have turned a corner, we're committed to stop the growing scheduling and cost overruns.

  5. Lorenzo Lynch:

    I think that's a poetic description of what has happened and poetry, like most language, is limited but it does have wings ... to carry a point, Giuliani pushes for Lynch confirmation 'A moderately tough confirmation' Senate Republicans adamantly deny the delay in scheduling a vote on Lynch's nomination is because she is African-American. Many point out that Lynch, if confirmed, would be replacing the country's first African-American attorney general who was confirmed by an overwhelming margin. Instead, Republicans and Democrats say the delay is part of an ongoing partisan battle. For some, it's part of a fight over a human trafficking bill that has stalled in the Senate. For others, the delay is retaliation for President Obama's 2014 executive actions on immigration. On the eve of Holder's announcement of his plans to leave the Department of Justice, the political number crunchers at FiveThrirtyEight.com predicted whoever the President nominated would.
