You wouldn't want a purported vaccine to kill more people than the virus itself, no? To avoid this, statistics and multistage tests are used.

At a company I joined recently (WPEngine), there's an app called 15five deployed internally, where every 2 weeks we're encouraged to single out some coworkers with "high fives", thanking them for whatever we want. Those

Hm; a sibling comment about p2p made me start thinking about some kind of "authority" system, with personal tracking. I know it'd be a lot of work for everyone, bit it still sounds maybe doable to me. Like if everything poste

IMO, try to avoid fork - you'll never be able to merge it back anymore, a fork splits the product into 2; think what will happen when you get +1 more "special" customer. In the 2nd company where I encountered this challenge,

For artists who can't afford ZBrush, I believe this is a gamechanger.

I understand old users and experts may be annoyed at the fact things were moved, breaking their muscle memory (though I think this is at least partially mitigated by "classic" shortcuts map?). However please note, that for people

I think it will be on topic if I let myself take this occasion to once again plug in a short public service announcement of an open-source tool I built, that helps interactively build Unix/Linux pipelines, dubbed "The Ultimate P

Uhhh, so as to the initial order of called vs. caller , it seems they're actually correct, and it was actually me being civilian and having reverse expectation; sorry! As to the hardline related communications, I'm trying to fi

I was surprised that in the communications during the recent Dragon docking, they seemed to have the initial station designations reversed: first stating who is calling , followed by who is called . Also when Dragon crew was reporting poo

The basic notion of program as theory fits into what I personally stumbled upon recently on my own. Notably, expanding on it, I like to see every execution of a program as an Experiment - in that it may support or invalidate the Theory

You made me read about Beaker and install it. Looks very interesting. Thank you!

Personally I also started longing for webrings recently; they seem more personal to me than directories, and there's more excitement of surprise and discovery. Also I think they're more "slow paced" and involved: you ha

Heh, sorry, you're totally right, parts are definitively 100% Haskell-speak for sure (and I totally jumped over them with 0 understanding); what I really meant and failed to clearly convey, is that there are the other parts, including

Personally, I found the initial intro surprisingly easy to read and digest. I got double surprised when I noticed this is written in Haskell (IIUC) - for a thing created by a Haskell guy, this is incredibly readable and easy to digest. Ty

I'd say this claim falls victim to a survivorship bias viewpoint. I suppose new languages are now used with more or less the same uptake as in any earlier "era" of software. (I.e. tons of "old" languages, which were

I'm working on a somewhat similar development, where I however wrote an actual assembler for .dex (Dalvik bytecode) files, which gives access to all the Android APIs and allows defining your own subclasses (e.g. new GUI components etc.

Additionally to what others wrote in their replies, I think in a broader sense, "cache invalidation" actually kinda means a fundamental balance you need to decide on when programming, of what data/information you store vs. wh

Ahahah, this reminds me: after I learnt unicycling and started practising it on longer paths, I started hearing a weird regular "tick" sound from somewhere in the uni(cycle). I was wondering if something's broken, but it was
