I agree that this is how development should work. But let's be fair: The claim that this "is fully integrated with Git" is at least misleading. Yes, there's git format-patch, git send-email, and git am. But what I woul

This can go either way, and it's ultimately a social problem, not a technical one. I find that I fairly often notice some minor issues, like a typo in a comment. I do want the submitter to fix those, but making them go through a full r

It's just another example of how mobile UIs are bad due to their form factor: they lack discoverability.

This is my favorite work of German science fiction, happy to see it mentioned here. Warning, the Wikipedia page contains major spoilers (as usual). The page mentions "Quest" as a prequel, which it technically is, though really it&

You're largely restating what I wrote, and in any case none of this understanding is visible in TFA. In particular, TFA very explicitly suggests that some measure of social security promises should be counted as if it were debt.

The author is surprisingly confused about how the national debt works. Who, exactly, does the author think the debt is owed to? Directly and indirectly the people, that's who. This is blindingly obvious when he mentions social security

Unlike domestic flights, international flights are often priced as essentially round-trip only. In the sense that buying one-way is almost as expensive as round-trip. I haven't yet figured out what the exact logic is behind this and wh

While you have a point, imagine the string appearing in a combo box or other list of relationship kinds. It would be very confusing to have multiple options that are all just "cousin". To solve both that use case and the ones you

This is the correct answer right here if you have a good enough team. It is still the way I want to work. Unfortunately, I find that there are too many developers who haven't learned that you should always be considering to "refac

Literally extracting the functions and then re-inlining them makes no sense. Having that as a sort of mental model while you're working on the code does make sense.

The article shows how interesting properties can be proved (with a nontrivial amount of effort). That's cool, but I wouldn't call it correct by construction.

The problem with this advice is that, at least in this story, if we're taking it at face value, the antihero programmers didn't learn.

I agree that people shouldn't be too thin-skinned, it's still important to stay civil and supportive. Being able to clearly and unambiguously convey that a change sucks while not hurting the other person's feeling is a useful

Unfortunately, no. The textbooks that I have looked into have not been convincing, since they tend to be overly focused on the parsing and syntax aspects, which is IMHO not where the really interesting stuff happens. (It might help if you&#

As someone who has actually traveled through "cheaper" parts of the world, I couldn't imagine working without a local environment. Cheaper parts of the world often imply worse internet connections, spotty wifi, and so on. Req

I also always had a fascination for low level stuff and assembly, and I ended up moving into compiler and language development, which made me happy because there's still a lot of math-y stuff going on: the algorithms in compiler transf

It does seem magical. The one thing I can answer is that multi-patterning does not shine light through two masks simultaneously. Instead, it consists of multiple separate steps. I think for the rest, the point is that light arriving on the

There's the rather non-trivial problem of actually manufacturing chips with the superconducting material. But if that can be solved, then yes, it could make computing way more efficient.

The Bible isn't nuanced because it's not even coherent. It's pretty much all over the place. This is a feature for its followers, because they can and do pick and choose the parts they like and ignore the rest.

Reminds me of the point made by Ted Chiang that (roughly, from memory) when people express fear of technology, quite often what they really fear is capitalism and how it will use the technology. This goes back all the way to the Luddites, w
