It's essentially the question of God, only in disguise. It's absolutely untestable (just like the existence of God), so it's a matter of faith and nothing else. If God - as understood by major human religions - does exist, th

Drucker's books are listed under "Technology & Media", not "Politics & Economy", so I can't see how it relates to my comment

Awesome :) Always nice to see things improve. Thank you for the feedback.

Oh, I see. Thanks for clearing that up. It was displayed as if it was a reply to mine - in place of the deleted comment there was just "[flagged]", but no date or anything, so it looked like a tag added to mine. This isn't mo

It's an interesting selection overall, however I couldn't help but notice that the "Politics & Economy" section looks like neither politics nor economy have ever existed anywhere but in the US : )

Where the boundary lies is subjective in my opinion, personally I feel it's better overall to "err on the safe side" as far as these matters go. At any rate, I would be quite simply curious about she would have to say

I know it's just a blog post, but if we consider blogging to be journalism (even in some remote sense), then the accepted practice is to reach out to the other side and ask for comments. She could - obviously - refuse, then you write s

As pointed out (arguably a bit harshly) in comments under the original article, this is really a strawman argument. That's because that ol' classical GoF book on design patterns - which the author admits has not even read - addres

The thing is that "obviousness" is a relative quality. Your own code is always obvious to you. Yet it's often surprising for many devs (even veteran ones) how unobvious their work is to their peers. Using design patterns help

While it's a reasonable concern, I don't think there's so much overhead in learning Kotlin. It's fully interoperable with Java, so you don't need to invest in learning new APIs (which is the difficult part usually).

While great fun, I don't think playing blitz is beneficial in the long run. It encourages plenty of bad habits: guessing (instead of calculating), "gambling" (making bold but refutable moves in hope that opponent misses the c

While it's obviously true that rules of chess are more complex, I can't see what it has to do with beauty or the lack thereof. It's very unlikely that different writers would independently come up with "War and Peace&quo

And you can share the same feeds among Feedly and gReader Pro? I'm asking, because Feedly the web app is okay, but I don't like their Android version

I figured I can zoom on pages, but that's beyond my point - good design means settings are sensible out of the box, by default.

Didn't they just reinvent RxJava? It's confusing to me. Their Observables clearly aren't RxJava's Observables, although the concept is the same. They actually go on to explain the "push event, pull data" model,

Well, thanks. I kind of figured it out, but still I believe it should be stated explicitly, because it looks quite confusing
