The DRY example is better though. The payload is an object. When you have multiple objects of the same shape you have a class of objects. Menu items could be loaded from a JSON source. Separation of concerns and duplication is removed from

The grammar is poor throughout. For example: > We help companies access top freelancers faster, more cost-effective and risk-free This is better: "The fast and cost-effective way for companies to access top freelancers." Cis

Given that space shuttles now use a touchscreen it's fair to assume you're wrong. One hundred years will likely bring us a brain interface. You're thinking too small.

Yes but the market is kind of poor right now. You'll need to have good numbers to attract any kind of attention.

Batteries increase in capacity by 5% per year. They will be 1.05^100 = 132 times the capacity of the batteries of today. This does not include increases to energy efficiency, which will possibly be even greater. In other words, smart watch

The web has always been bad, just never quite so complex. The stacks are more complex and fragile and I would argue fragile because of the complexity. Most of these tools are intended to improve developer experience but I have yet to see ev

Obviously there is no failsafe that pulls the car over, otherwise you would see that the cars had pulled over. This might be annoying on city streets but imagine if it were on the highway. An almost guaranteed 50 car pileup. If history is a

I looked it up and it's in decline but still three-quarters of America. Half of Americans said their religion is very important in their own life. https://news.gallup.com/poll/358364/religious-americans.aspx

Emotions are feelings. You don't have control of them but you do have control over your actions and your speech. If we agree that policies should be rational, then we agree that emotions are non-productive here. The human rights you ar

There's way too much emotion in politics these days. I would like to see a return of rational discourse. I've had my fill of both the screaming liberals and the dusty conservatives. Most of the complex issues deal with morality so

After years of using a standing desk I decided to up my game a bit. I'm now using an inversion table with a built-in laptop mount. This puppy has a 24V DC motor to maximize circulation for extended hacking sessions. I've found it

People choose what language they learn based on what jobs are available. Companies choose what language they use based on what FAANG companies use. What you're saying is not obvious, it is a naive assumption. Popular does not equal goo

It's not easier to build anything . It's easier to build web applications and video games but we already have way too many of those. If you're doing something innovative you will find things have indeed gone backwards in a f

No advice, I feel the same. The industry has gone to shit and it's crossed the point of no return. The only real innovation has been with AI. Everything else is an endless reinvention of the wheel. Most of the skills I've learned

No, that wouldn't work. Business is a game of incomplete information. Take financial predictions as an example. They are frequently wrong even though they are based on real data and the problem is much simpler. As a startup, mathematic

Who is the person that says, "No Jack, this is a dumb idea and a total waste of resources." For all Amazon's flaws, at least they're solving real-world problems. I mean you can fly around in a $10B/year fairy tale l

This is exactly right. Puzzles have one solution, programming problems have a solution space. It's like judging an artist by asking them about art.

Supply will increase with demand. I think by 2030 most gas stations will have EV chargers. It's already a non-issue in the West, not sure what you guys are doing over there. For me, the larger issue is repairability.

Was he one of the executives that extorts money from third-world governments? Or is that a separate department. My only surprise is that the Surface doesn't come with a straw for cocaine.

It is a problem for businesses though. If they were going to go after anyone, it would be a business violating the EULA. Same problem with running macOS on Windows.

VCs would get better returns if their strategy wasn't just throwing money at anything with AI or blockchain. True innovation comes from lateral thinking and often sounds like a bad idea, precisely because it violates your assumptions.

They adjusted the hazard ratios to remove the effect of diabetes. Would this not skew the data when they are not included in the sugar cohort? The confounding variables I'm talking about are behavioral, not clinical.

Is this meaningful or just a deceptive statistic? Are the people who are not adding sugar abstaining because they have diabetes? Because they're trying to lose weight? Do younger demographics have a sweet tooth? Do older generations dr

I don't know anything about no code. Maybe it will work for you. I remember how bad Dreamweaver was so I stay away. You can definitely do an ecommerce website rapidly. What successful software products have been built using no code?

I've been programming for 20 years and as of now it takes me about three months to build a MVP solo. That's full time, binging on coffee, sleeping under my desk. There's always unforeseen things that creep up and create a t

Two investors can look at the same balance sheet and come to opposite conclusions. 90% of actively managed investment funds underperform the market. It's a hard problem, full stop. If you're good at solving hard problems, you coul
