I didn't state that the tools are worse. It's just that they're not as well-suited to the problems we're solving now than the tools 30 years ago were to the problems we were solving then. The tools themselves are better

The tools (and environments!) 30 years ago were better suited to solving the problems of 29 years ago than the tools are today in solving the problems of the upcoming year. Specifically, our target environments distance us too greatly from

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but I also don't see what's "bad" or immoral about the example I outlined above. FWIW, it's not hypothetical. I'm more-or-less describing Columbia, MD which is wed

Why? I'm not OP, but I'm honestly asking. Is it immoral to, for instance, design a "planned city" to be as boring as possible in order to not attract thrill-seekers? Now, mind you, I'm asking solely about design. Th

Would you trade one month in twelve to make things comfortable for everyone? I've often wondered if the solution to the "who will clean the toilets?!" problem is: everyone, but only when it's their month to do so. A pipe

How would this approach apply to, e.g., an R&D project in which each member of the team is a SME, "rotating" is not possible, and hiring two SMEs for each position would have a negligible impact on how quickly the project gets

My children all share an unprivileged account on our family desktop computer to play video games, etc. In addition to this, my wife has an account on the computer which is separate from mine.

How is the soundproofing where you live? My boys (one with ASD and the other with ADHD) are often extremely loud. When they are, you can hear them clearly from a surprising distance away from my suburban USA home even when they're stil

An embedded controller can deliver all of this information over a serial line to a central hub.

Agreed, but it's a pretty clever idea nonetheless.

Same here. It has become easier and more defensible to do so today with gobs of RAM, even in the embedded space (somewhat). You no longer need to worry about running out of stack space, even in a deep call-stack with each function having it

Because sometimes people do have fancy solutions. It's operant conditioning.

A hard drive sitting on a shelf is a big question mark. Will it spin-up? Who knows?! So you deal with this by having a backup. Now you have 2x the cost. But, unfortunately, you could have two hard drives not spin up. You consider an additio

I find it interesting that you assume the issue is related to hunger. Most overweight and obese persons I know are overweight because they are using food as a drug. This has nothing to do with hunger. Shoveling fistfuls of Reese's Puff
