Well that's part of it. You need to have the experience to know which methods and processes give you the most value and quality for the time invested. There's many skill sets involved and knowing good processes is just one.

It's mostly based on the skill and experience of the developer. Of course there is probably some asymptote in the quality and delivery time that is impossible to surpass, like the 3 minute mile. Human brains are not without limits and

It's possible to write software with very few bugs if you're very experienced in the language/framework and software development in general, writing all the code yourself, and perfectly understand the requirements. Otherwise,

Awesome, thanks.

This is a tangent, but does anyone know the max number of sprites you can have animated in JavaScript before it gets sluggish on a typical computer running Chrome?

There is comparatively strong theoretical and empirical evidence that people become terrorists not to achieve their organization’s declare political agenda, but to develop strong affective ties with other terrorist members. In other words,

> figuring out which university is actually the best for you It's even further complicated by the definition of "best". What is any given student optimizing for: Lifetime earnings? Some vague notion of happiness? Cultural

I don't think so, because it's right after "real need" which is referring to students. If it is as you suggest then it's a badly formed sentence.

Yup that's true, although mostly my fault probably.

Let me rephrase that as "There aren't enough 6'1 college-educated WASP men who look like football players and are charismatic and extroverted".

I think the difference is that you can make software using just a computer, whereas for a robot you need to order a bunch of physical parts and put them together. The cost is much higher and you can't just tweak physical parts like cod

I don't think it will pop. Instead I predict it will just oscillate back and forth a bit and stock prices will trend horizontally for a while. I don't have strong evidence for this, it's just my gut feeling.

Ah, I guess I was used to playing on multiplayer where the map size is much more limited.

by a3voices 11y ago
Well it would be data from your databases, and anything they would find useful excluding private user information.

Are you sure about that? How long does it take to run from one edge of the map to the other?

by a3voices 11y ago
This only sounds like a good idea if you can get vehicles that move faster than airplanes.

One alternative is to replicate some of your data into a different DB that is safe for the data scientists to use. And that way, they have raw data to play with instead of logs.

This would be very politically incorrect, but I'd wager the best way to find top performers is to ask "What do your parents do for work, and how much money do they make?" There is a very high correlation between the success o

But do you find racial slurs acceptable when rappers use them, or when they're used in Hollywood movies, or books like The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn ? I guess I don't understand why people selectively find it so offensive.

Finding racial slurs unacceptable, when he isn't attacking a specific person on HN, is political correctness.

by a3voices 11y ago
Why is political correctness so important to you?

What about animal and plant life? Articles like these are very human-centric. For example it might be best if everyone from South America was forced to relocate to Central America, and make all of South America a nature reserve.

That's an idiotic reason. Obviously they over-engineered their iOS app.

by a3voices 11y ago
Well it sounds outrageous but it's possible people would just think it's funny. I could see it going either way.

Maybe these things you forget about aren't very important to you? For example, if your house is on fire, you won't open an app and then be too distracted to run out.
