Huh? The best way to prevent mistakes is to make doing it right easy. Manually doing everything just means a lot of room to mess up. Using the newer constructs my means you can't make a mistake as the hard work is done correctly for yo

Unfortunately I have some customers of my library that won't recompile. Hard to blame them because it is safety critical and needs recertification. In just glad the certification process is willing to not recertify my code when I chang

No but I want real evidence. Lots of people say they are more productive with vi than a GUI editor but depending on the task a real study can show one or the other is more productive. You see this all over - expensive audio cables sound bet

I get distracted and my mind starts to think of better ways to explain the last point... Soon I have no clue what the last ten minutes were about. Taking notes makes me get back on task faster so I can find the next note to write. I'd

I wouldn't call nation building a failure. It made significant progress.

Same way my auto body repairs are done. I have insurance on my car that isn't through my company. I can choose who the provider is. I'm not limited to the two plans my company offers from the same provider. There are dozens of com

I wonder if this thing in turn has something in orbit around it? At the size I wouldn't surprise me if it had satellites of its own in orbit, leaving open the question of what to call them. (I'm no astrophysicist, is this really

Somehow the Atari ST is panned because it lacked preemptive multitasking (I'm not sure if this is true). They didn't mention any of the other GUIs that unix was working with - X11 already existed back then, and several unix vendo

That is what Sells. The USA has a lot of people so selling to us is going to make money even in a niche subject like history. Historians who are not trying to sell mass market books have a much broader set of books. You won't see them

The subject is critical minerals. China is therefore why here. Of course in the large picture everyone is preparing for war.

by bluGill 3mo ago
When the subject is China, the reflection isn't "because China". What we are seeing here is "Because US", which is very different.

I don't think Trump is bluffing. However Americans in general are opposed to taking Greenland, and so if Trump does anything I expect Americans/Congress to raise up. Europe should be concerned because this will take months to pl

Though it goes both ways: non-boomers are not listening because radio has nothing to offer.

Those shakeups have happened many times over the decades. Nothing changed. Once in a while someone wrote documentation - but nobody read it. Then that person was moved elsewhere in another shakeup and their documentation got obsolete. Of

There are plenty of good ways to assess performance of CEO. However the important ones can only be run 10-20 years from now and so they are not helpful.

I don't. I'm not playing for their entertainment, I'm playing for mine. I get bored with a song long before I get good at it, and so I divide my time between songs I'm starting to get good at, and songs I'm terrib

3 ball is a lot easier than 5 ball. A good teacher helps, but plenty of books exist that are good as well. Most people are not interested enough to try for 10 minutes.

The problem is the people who advertisers want to target want to hear the same songs every day. I wouldn't be surprised if people like you want me who want more variety are a majority - but we don't spend money on things advertise

Many people do, but I don't get it. The typical station has a tiny playlist that they have had on repeat for a decade now. I haven't turned the radio on in years, and never was a regular listener, but I can still tell you what so

In the US "boom boxes" went out with the 1970s. They need to get with the times. Okay, in all seriousness: boom boxes were a thing in the 1970s and early 1980s. There are still people who use the latest generation of them, but th

A company should be judged on longer term metrics than one month. Often the best action is to take a loss for several months while you set the company up for long term success. Often is not always of course. If you take over at a soap ma

You are confusing CEO pay with CEO ability. There is plenty of examples of companies doing poorly until a new CEO comes in, and others of a company doing well until the CEO retires and a replacement comes in. Ivy types have a poor history

Literature only happened in agricultural societies and mostly by the elites. While it gives us a picture historians have to work really hard to read between the lines to figure out what life was really like for most people. If you were the

What county! The USA has complex warranty laws and that text has specific meaning and limits what it allows them to not warranty. Other counties have different laws. See a lawyer

Game animals were rarely that in abundance. It happened after plagues but then populations rebounded and life was a constant struggle.

Castles are practical against cannons but only if built with thicker walls than typical.

I like the definition where castle is a fortress where a Nobel lives. Fort is where an army lives but no Nobel leader. Palace is where a Nobel lives but it isn't expected to withstand a siege

I question this. Many of these were stating that something was true, but they weren't actually measuring cardiac vascular disease. They were measuring various markers, which may or may not result in the actual cardiac disease. Also the
