"marry for love" does not last. It makes the marriage a chronometer for infatuation. Not saying marrying for money is better, marrying for long term family partnership is neither of these.

I have seen a few cases of successful women at work. But what surprised me was to find out that most of them took a break of 10-15 years to raise the kids, then returned to the workforce with full focus. I have a friend that did that after

And the result is a huge drop in marriage rates. The problem did exist for millennia, but the modern laws destroyed marriage without bringing a net positive outcome.

Today the "fulfilling life" is on the verge of disappearing. When most people don't have kids, like South Korea, when you get 60 years old you realize that there will be nobody to support you because there are not enough peop

Having a drink with the colleagues has nothing to do with alcoholism. I used to organize nights out with colleagues even if I was never drinking alcohol (I had to drive). But the point in "going for a beer" is socializing and info

It matters as in each culture the communication style is interpreted in some way, but not necessarily your way. I lived a while in the Middle East and being very direct was considered to be rude; it may be not rude at all for a Dutch, but i

You can say the same about Norway, that went full speed for electric cars but still extract and sell a lot of oil.

There is a huge difference between my laptop and my desktop in using VS Code with a few basic plugins. The difference of the hardware between the 2 machines is mostly CPU and SSD performance, the SSD makes a big impact opening projects with

I also had one, it was a great CPU for those days. But several generations passed, games want more performance from CPU and GPU, I retired that 2700 in a server that sees less utilization. For the past 30 years the best CPU of a few years a

That would be irrelevant, tens of MB of cache do not cover for Gigabytes of slow memory for textures. Modern games use 4-8 GB of RAM, mostly for HD textures. Screen buffers are already in the cache.

I think CAMM direct comparison is SO-DIMMs where the DIMM is parallel with the mainboard.

Also the space for traces is a problem with sockets. At 256 bits you need lots of traces with very precise equal lengths.

I am using it when I need AJAX + Datatables for quick, but not dirty pages showing data in different ways that takes minutes to set up. Actually my projects are native JS for most and jQuery for that specific combination above. These are no

Read again. I said you don't need ATPL to be the CEO of Boeing. If you don't agree, state that, don't pick on the 50 hours because you are wrong there. And don't be pedantic about ATPL requirements, I am a pilot and I kn

The senior leadership does not lack the self awareness, they know exactly that they are bad and they act to cover it as best as possible. I saw this up close in other similar companies (manufacturing moved to all non-technical leadership).

It takes ~ 50 hours to get a pilot license and understand what is that. You don't need ATPL as a CEO, but flying regularly will keep you connected in a way that cannot be substituted, definitely not by the glasshouse that is a MBA. Can

A CEO of an aircraft manufacturer that does not know anything about flying and engineering is too disconnected from their core business (which is engineering planes, not managing techies), it does not trust and understand engineers and it i

There is progressive taxation, so you can control who is getting offsets and who is not.

Gas was never above $2 per liter in Europe, you are mistaken. The highest gas price I've ever seen was close to $2 per liter, a bit below (~1.90, maybe).

Not just in humans, hierarchy in groups is inevitable because some group members are stronger, more competent or more charismatic. Informal hierarchies exist almost everywhere when any of these factors has an influence. This is a positive f

by AdrianB1 3y ago
What you describe is called an informal leader. But you are correct on everything else so far.

by AdrianB1 3y ago
Hierarchies are not necessary based on coercion ("command"), leading by competence or charisma is also hierarchy.

Why not keep a permanent, separate branch for each version that is still maintained? And do trunk on each version branch.

How does this look like when you have multiple active versions of an application? In some cases there are apps deployed in different environments (or to different clients) in different versions and having a single place to make all commits

Probably not. You will see it yourself when you reach 50 years old.

Free speech is fine in most cases. People can have opinions that other people dislike, even most people dislike. The problem is what they do (act), not what they say.

Trust does not depend only on things that are illegal. For example you would not trust an obsessive liar, even if it is jus outside of work. For now. Because you will be convince it is a huge risk it will happen at work, sooner or later. Sa

I don't think this is the object of the discussion. I don't mind people that have sex (that means almost everyone I know), but I dislike people that do sex in public, with minors, with animals, with cadavers etc. For me, porn is s

I responded to someone who said it is not safe to fly airplanes for decades. I don't think they meant "decades equivalent of flight hours", but the decades since manufacturing date.
