I don't think people who say "Trust the science" are saying that science has it all figured out. It's telling people that they should weigh scientific data into their thought process. In reality many people make all of t

This reads like someone just spouting off a preconceived notion. How much are they making now? What are they looking to make? What do you think is reasonable? The AP article says the union salaries haven't been visited in 16 years.

A model that predicts what will happen in 500 years doesn't need to predict every minor deviation in ocean temperature for every quarter of every year.

The point is: 8GB of RAM is really, really cheap. Like $20 retail.

If the messages are automated this works and is legally required. Many political messages may be a template but come from real humans. It's a way around the law.

For a simple example, I might have class A that contains an instance of interface/base type B and another field of interface/type C. If B and C each have 4 implementations that means class A can be composed 4 * 4 = 16 ways. But in

Inheritance is more limited in what you can do and implies a finite set of behavior states. With composition you have a system that can, in theory, have an untestable amount of permutations of behavior strung together.

Well in my game everything inherits from GameObject. GameObject has a draw method. Enemies, coins, the player, doors, they're all GameObjects. But when it comes to drawing things, the logic doesn't vary by those subtypes. Rather s

I'm not doctor or scientist, but I think of it like the nerves in the ear are signaling off constantly. The brain is operating normally by listening to them, but what you really want is for it to adapt and start to ignore the bad signa

I've seen that same problem sans a deep inheritance hierarchy.

Jesus, that's insane! The rule of inheritance is no more than 3 levels deep. 3!!

Composition implies a level of complexity. There may be a near infinite number of permutations of things that can be combined. If in reality there are only a fixed set of variations, inheritance may model your system in a tighter way. The b

Sure, but the title has you thinking "Why would this external weather event effect my in-home wifi?" when the answer is "because I have a weird thing outside of my house that makes the wifi work". I feel used.

It's actually pretty wasteful that it doesn't work that way.

Why do people always say agile doesn't work and then tell some personal baggage story that clearly shows their company is doing it wrong. Is agile really to blame?

Because people are emotional and don't respond to statistics like that. 2 planes crashed over a single, critical software usability defect. Now Boeing is a complete trash company and is doing many things wrong. Airbus is perfect and do

I've had TVs move room to room and face a different direction and need to be fixed with a degaussing coil. I'm told it's from the Earth's magnetic field. Could also be that they were next to other TVs (arcade machines in

I don't see a single comment suggesting that.

I agree, but consumers have spoken with their wallets and overwhelmingly prefer a big corporation to have full control.

I was very young, but I don't recall anyone referring to it as a crash until 20 years later. At the time it just seemed like Atari came out, ran it's course, and then the NES came out and blew it away.

That was the first thing that come to my mind. The obvious challenge in getting data like this. Of course it's not even mentioned in the article.

You sound frustrated that you couldn't convince your friend of something so obvious. But you realize most people are both pedestrians and motorists, and still overwhelmingly prefer right on red.
