USB killer would not be an appropriate way to do that, it'd just give a false sense of security.

It's an advantage for some parts of software development, but I would be surprised if it wasn't a net negative for the vast majority of developer jobs.

That's a very strange view. Of course people with a native language will make similar mistakes when learning a new language. Swedish speakers have issues pronouncing "jump" ("yump" ) and cheap ("sheep") be

Do you disagree with the notion that misspelt comments or variables is technical debt, though? Personally I would consider it a light form of technical debt simply because it makes the code slightly harder to read.

I agree. I'm so used to seeing those type of testimonials on garbage products that "speed up your computer", or on TV shop etc. that it only makes me suspicious of the product.

Not sure if you need the "allegedly" when they admitted to the laundering.

That's all well and good if you're the physical manifest of your country. Most people tend to think about whether it's good for themselves, though. Does an increased GDP "trickle down" to the worker?

Given the population increase and inflation, my calculation puts the expected tax at 3.3167T.

Lemons can significantly impede a team's velocity and, more importantly, the team's overall happiness. It's difficult to enjoy and take pride in your work when the code base either looks like shit or require that you spend mo

For employees, sure. For productivity? Very very doubtful.

If you're not keeping the daily scrum shorter than 15 minutes then that's in and of itself a problem that will make people annoyed and disrupted.

Don't wait until the standup to ask for help if you don't have to. I'm also confused why OP is having standup eith people who havent even heard of the project he's working on. Doesn't sound like he's working on

Why are you estimating things in hours? Why is management tracking the amount of story points every developer completes in a sprint? Why are you not working on the highest prio stuff in the sprint? Of course sprints look useless if you&#x27

For example: https://academic.oup.com/alcalc/article/46/6/721/129644 It's not exactly controversial to claim that lower income correlates to crime though.

Outside of a life-altering sickness I see no way for someone who had worked for a top-tier tech company to go without employment opportunities for half a year, let alone two years.

Most likely it's not that they're outright telling him to move, instead they probably show disinterest or make it clear in some other non-confrontational way that they'd rather not have him sit with them.

Indeed, what part of the name "cryptocurrency" would lead someone to believe it to be like cash?

I have 6 weeks of vacation a year (2 years out of uni) and 240 days of paid (75% of normal pay) parental leave (480 days in total for both parents). How's your vacation and parental leave in comparison?

If I buy a house for 50k and want to immediately move laterally to another house worth 50k then the cost is 0 + overhead. If I buy a house for 50k and want to move laterally when it's worth 100k then the cost is the taxes of the 50k p

You stole $100 from me. If the value of milkshakes went down to 0 in 2020, would you say you deprived me of nothing? This is basically like the people talking about the guy who spent thousands of bitcoins on pizza as if he lost shitloads o

I think the most interesting part is how we humans reason when it comes to risk. A hacker causing accidents is so scary that autonomous cars sound like a bad idea, yet the risk of dying to a hacker while in an autonomous car would almost ce

It's perfectly fair to point out how things actually look in practice. It's upvoted because it presents another (probably more realistic) picture instead of the marketing spiel that DB wants you to believe. Why do you not think th

While annoying for you and me, many (most?) support issues are basically "turn it off and on again" since most people don't search or read help articles.

Survivorship bias, to be precise.

That way of thinking is short-sighted and (in my opinion) stupid, though. If you plan around dying at any moment, then you'll never reap the rewards of planning for the future. Unless you mean "enjoy your life while it lasts"

Most of those are quite logical though. If you want to say that a general AI has an intelligence equal to or exceeding human intelligence then it should perform reasonably similar to a human at all tasks and in all scenarios. A human that c
