Uber have the right idea here; own the platform, not the infrastructure. Lets face it, a cars spends most of its life stationary, waiting for you to drive it. Not so the autonomous vehicle. Autonomous vehicles are freed from the shackles

Sorry but as a man in a similar position, that science ain't gonna help us. I think the real problem is in the way we present the fart; apparently a proud grin and a nod to my son isn't 'polite'.

PyCharm is worth a look but I agree with the terminal+ipython resort, a place I often find myself too. RStudio was great and then I tried the server version and it suddenly became bloody amazing as I was able to keep R close to the data an

I agree that there is a difference between the actual history of a project and the writing of that history in a repository. We all make mistakes and rebase can be used to correct them. Fossil just takes the other view that we all make mis

> ‘Reverse engineering’ must be a joy all to itself. I agree and I think it because you have a very clearly defined goal and can just focus on the technical challenges.

It's also worth trying his contemporary fiction which is just as good. Most people are aware of "The Wasp Factory" which can probably also be classed as science fiction (although not SciFi). He also wrote the excellent &quot

This quote from John Glenn always reminds me just how brave those sons of bitches were; "As I hurtled through space, one thought kept crossing my mind - every part of this rocket was supplied by the lowest bidder."

Given this is a Hacker forum lets go one step further and ask "Does a modern society need a centralised seat of government at all?"

I work in medical imaging and if there is something I've learnt over the last 20 years it's that we understand 'normal' less than any other disease state.

That reads more like an opinion piece than a researched article. Not that the OP is different.

"Whatever, I'll just go with the flow." is clearly something RMS never says.

I see what you did there.

Well said. Methodologies should be treated as patterns and as such you need to understand what they aim to achieve, the trade-offs in terms of risks and benefits and most importantly how to adapt the pattern to what you are doing. You ope

I'm glad someone mentioned debugging. Typically Bash scripts evolve into programs and one of the first things I always notice is how much effort I'm having to put into debugging. Indeed, since I started working with [plumbum]( h

I have yet to find a better strategy than to try to "ride the wave". My strategy also. I'm in my mid forties now and have always seen the language/platform as a way to exercise my development skills. Like many things

tl;dr Open Source is a necessary but not sufficient requirement for Free Software.

Yes. In the start-up world I suspect that crap idea or no market are more common reasons for failure than bad software .

This comment on the OP site pretty much sums up a lot of these kinds of posts: Learn about all good and important methodologies, and take what fits your character and team. Any religious treatment of any method is not natural.

You can't disagree with my reasons for leaving academia. I never said academia was at fault, simply that I wanted to build useful things and couldn't achieve that when I was only going to be measured largely on how novel the solu

One of the reasons I left academia was that, as an Engineer I became completely disillusioned with the novelty over utility bias. Things were published because they were new and not because they were really any better than existing techn
