Wow. 14% is really damn high.

It is pretty obnoxious, but I think most of us understand why they are doing things this way, it's just a shame it's not more obvious up front. FWIW it only took me about one week to get approved and there was no difficulty in it,

Like I said, just because it's "fixed" in the core doesn't mean there aren't still implications being worked out everywhere else. It's not that black and white.

You can't just dismiss concerns with "fixed in Java 8." First off, not everyone is on 8 or can upgrade even if they want to. Secondly, version 8 is, well, version 8. That's _20 years_ before the issue was addressed! 20 y

If teams can't consistently implement "Agile", then maybe it's not really that great of a method. Or perhaps it's not much of a method at all, just a bunch of pseudo-philosophical nonsense, measuring things that are

It's hard to tell what you're asking for. There is no getting around the amount of computation required, and there are already plenty of systems to distribute workload the old fashioned way. In addition, while many projects rely o

Oh give me a break. This isn't some inevitable outcome of physics. They purposefully chose growth at the expense of customer support because it enabled them to accomplish more things that they wanted to do. They looked at the nearly in

Uh... the Democrat Presidental primaries were "rigged"? Would you care to be a little more specific?

The book is fantastic. I'd also recommend "One Point Safe," which is similar.

This is not just a trend in management. Many, many people labor under the assumption that if you throw enough (or any, for that matter) math at something you must be doing science , and therefore it's inherently better than the altern

That would be a ridiculous bet. Autonomous driving in any wide-spread form is still years if not a decade away. Losing money for a decade while awaiting the glorious future to redeem you is a sure way to go bankrupt, and quickly. Uber did n

Let's be clear here though: it's not western imperial states, it's all imperial states throughout all of history, and all countries behave very differently at home compared to abroad.

I wasn't referring to the OPs opinion, I was referring to the fact that all their comment contained was a generic and useless complaint that we've all heard about 10 million times about "the media." If you or anyone actu

This is exactly the type of nonsense comments they're trying to avoid.

There was nothing about refrigeration in the article... :| Classic click-bait.

I thought multiregionalism was discredited by genetic studies in the past decade?

I honestly find the concepts far easier than the syntax, and I am used to weird syntax. It's not just the notation though. It's using crappy notation in place of explanation or as a short-cut. While some notation is "modern&q

We should be clear here by what we mean by language. It's perfectly possible and manageable to create cross-language VMs and to translate pretty accurately between languages. However, what breaks down, as you alluded to, is that people

Extremely hard to write _good_ unit tests for crappy code.

One page of text at standard size, with standard style (one statement or declaration per line). Which is roughly 60 lines. If you follow their other guidelines (no recursion, fixed sized loops, etc.), then it can take you several lines to d

Their hardware was essentially fixed, well defined, and limited in scope. They reviewed every single piece of code many, many times. They were draconian about memory handling, loops, preprocessor directives, and recursion. All functions had

As the saying goes, crap in, crap out. It's just as easy to write crappy unit tests as it is crappy code.

It's not everything. Usually there is a list of acceptable national charities for things like heart disease, diabetes, MS, education, poverty alleviation, etc. Chances are you'd recognize every one on the list. Sometimes employees

Taxes are roughly 50% for someone making 120k. Maybe closer to 45% when its all said and done. There's state income taxes, federal income, Medicare and social security, sales tax, property tax, real estate taxes, and then special taxes
