That's my immediate understanding of KS also. I am honestly baffled that people expect hard promises from creative projects. I give projects my money because I have money to spare and want to give them a chance to succeed. Nothing more.

Don't be intimidated. The only way to learn is to do. Just keep in mind that a library takes a surprising amount of time to make "good enough". The most frequent sin in library design is to knock something up in a weekend, check that it sor

I agree that's probably why - for all the studies not showing any concrete harm from hashish use, I've yet to meet an avid hashish user who can count to 100 without assistance. But still, they should at least say that . "The effects of ha

Disregarding the pro/con heroin issue, this article also illuminates that anti-drug campaigns are having a "facts crisis". If you say "x drug is bad for you", you should also be able to say why and how. To memory-quote from a pregnancy lea

I think you're really on to something here. A root problem of this is that a lot of legitimate software communicate via random popups out of the blue - training users to just "do what the computer says". People are used to the computer bei

I wouldn't be surprised. Some fairly large banks here in Norway have at times ran with a not-completely-valid SSL certificate - making the bank login indistinguishable from a man-in-the-middle. Answer from their phone support? "Oh yeah when

Such binary arguments bother me - Things won't degenerate to complete and utter chaos unless you go and add strict rules for everything. Good developers tend to follow the style of code they're in, and over time converge on a consistent st

Any development environment where there exists a rule on Braces versus Indents is a place I'd stay well away from. Put braces where they make the code readable. Use indents instead where they make the code more readable. And if you do

Occam's Razor isn't "jump to simple conclusions" or "don't bother thinking about it". It's a rule of thumb stating that you should pick the simplest of two equivalent explanations. In this case there aren't even any proposed explanations
