Certification might be less heavy handed and flexible. It keeps control within the industry and out of gov't where there can be lots of other inefficiency and conflicting interests. Laws also tend to be very slow to change (software m

We can also reduce the effort to write better code. Certain language and tooling features make quality easier.

Licensing is not the solution. Here are some things that can help: 1) Limit mutations, shared state, and side effects to very small sections of code. The majority of code should be pure functions and immutable code. 2) Tooling and IDE&#x27

If you call from another number you get prompted for the passcode. If you call from your "own" number no passcode is needed.

I tend towards freedom of speech more than most. I can understand an argument that says calling someone is freedom of speech. I don't think this violates that though. Of course, it will all depend on the actual implementation. A goo

Yes, that would probably be a good thing. They seriously need to fix the problem of being able to listen to other people's voicemail by merely setting the caller id to the target's cell number and calling them.

Sounds like consumers would have a choice. From the link: > He expects providers to offer consumers robust, free call blocking tools based on analytics & consumer contact lists. I do have some privacy concerns about the contact lists

How will this be implemented from a technology and policy perspective? The idea is one I am definitely supportive of. My phone rarely comes out of DnD now because of the robocallers. But the devil is in the details. Forcing people to add

It is difficult to come up with concrete examples of category theory because it is too high up the abstraction hierarchy. It normally requires stepping through several layers of abstraction to reach something concrete. Monads are one speci

I've come to the conclusion that microservices work for large organizations where division of labor is important but for small development teams it actually makes things worse. What once was just a function call now becomes an API call

Granting a license to software that a company has invested millions of dollars in takes less than 10 minutes as well, but that doesn't mean they are obligated to give it to anyone who might find it useful for free. Sunk cost is an ort

I didn't use any library. Seemed easy enough to just create a few helpers. I rely on Firebase completely for the data. Since Firebase already keeps a local client cache as well as an offline cache, I didn't see any need to main

I've been using Firestore in a React app and I love how it has simplified everything. There's no need to have redux or even an in-memory store in the "context". I just wrap my components with a withFSQuery helper and i

I wouldn't say number of patents filed is a good metric for innovation. Patents are more in line with the most bureaucratic and litigious.

1) WTF, FB? Don't go around violating license terms. 2) Why do developers tolerate a platform that doesn't allow developers to deploy apps wherever they want?

The HSR might make jobs more viable for people living outside the bay area, but it will make things worse for people living within the bay area. The last proposed plan would have the HSR running over 100 MPH less than 100 feet from my bed

Is there a standardized test for conscientiousness or is it more just an abstract concept?

I'm surprised that one of the most effective strategies I've ever come across is not on the list. The most effective strategy I have come across is to "change your identity". If you identify as an athlete, and you talk

I've been looking into building my own CNC. Sounds like there are some experienced CNC peoople here. Does anyone know why there are not more polar coordinate based CNC machines? I've been wondering what the pros and cons are.

There's a fine line between protecting original works and creating barriers to competition through litigation. Not sure just using a different material and stitching method (that has been widely used for ages) qualifies for protection

This article makes me think of the game Raft. I'm now wondering how easy it would be to expand the net using garbage collected from the net.

Would be interesting to see sous vide and torches incorporated into this. I usually "sous vide" at a lower temp and then finish with a weed burning torch (aka flame thrower). I find using a large and very hot flame is necessary t

There's also using multiple shades from dark to light. That might actually be easier to read if you can throw in a few light intensities are have less positional variants. 2 shades with 3 positions would be less error prone than 5 po

Very interesting. It's definitely more compact but I would challenge the more readable claim. If you think about how the human vision system is constructed (similar to convnets in deep learning), the brain uses a hierarchy of construc

The accompaniment examples are cool. That would be a very nice tool to have. Just play a melody and it auto-generates an accompaniment.

I'm wanting to use the ESP8266 more but most things I want to interface with are 5V so it is a little annoying have to incorporate logic level shifters. How you found an easier way to deal with it?

How does the track mechanism work? Is that just a string being wound around the motor shaft? I've been playing around with Arduino and find the electronics easy but it's really hard to get good information about linear motion in
