A code review is not about testing the functionality or finding bugs. It is about sanity checking the design (although in a welk performing team the design should never come as a surprise), complexity, readability, and test coverage.

While that is true, it is really important to add that that doesn't absolve the Germans one bit.

But why? That would be a concession to a criminal dictator, and, historically, that _never_ works. Putin would have just thought up another "reason" to invade in a year or two.

There should really be a course or a way to prepare you to deal with the incompetence. I was incredibly lucky not to have to deal with the incompetence at the workplace for the first 10 years of my career. But at the current job, it's

Is he wrong? That is an equivalent of weeknight drinking for us (remote) office workers. Showing up to work with a hangover is not a great thing to do.

That really depends on your definition of "better". In China the entities connected to the CCP are excepted from a lot of laws that slow down processes or make them more expensive. In the US is that way less the case.

Pricesely this, yes. And for the kids, an average trip to school takes like 5-10 minutes, hassling with three helmets (mine and of two kids) takes almost as long. And then I have to carry three helmets if I want to drop by to the supermarke

Not just regulators, I'm a developer in the EU and I find GDPR a great thing. I have yet to find a fellow developer here that disagrees. Yes, it can sometimes be a hassle to comply with it. But it's a no-brainer that it's a g

Because it implies non-belonging. The question self means that the conclusion is already made that the asked person is not "from here".

This certainly resonates with me. In my professional environment I use my third language, and, while it takes more thought to express myself, I am more assertive and open simply because the words carry "less" weight to me. Another

There is certainly a a balance to be struck. Are the code smells a structural issue in a piece of software that's supposed to be used and modified for a long time? Then those code smells endanger delivering the service in a medium term

I'm a non-native Dutch speaker and even I catch it, a sentence that looks like a 1-on-1 translation from English and than I have to think, no, this can't be proper Dutch. Exectly the same thing happens to my native language. What

As a counterexample, the other day I found my old Nexus 5, from 2013, running Android 6. While it was not completely straightforward, I was able to reset the phone and link it to a new Google account, and after several cycles of updates the

We have, all over the world. For example, at least 24500 people died from heat-related causes in Europe during heat waves of summer 2022. And that's just one of many examples.

From the perspective of this parent - toddlers are loud. They make so much noise, continuously, either by playing or talking or, more often, both at the same time, that when I get a moment of silence I don't want to ruin it by playing

How is living in a 1200 sqft "suffering"? My spouse and I also went for the kids when we were financially stable, and now we live in a 1500 sqft home, and I don't see why would we need a bigger one. We both work from home,

The time will tell, but I have a feeling that, while the subsidies were useful to turn people's attention to the EVs, they will not prove to be deciding factor for a decision to buy an EV or not. The manufacturers will adjust the price

Lynch gave silent treatment to Patrick Stewart on the set of Dune, making him very aware that he didn't agree with him being cast. According to Patrick, that is part of the reason he's unhappy with the performance he delivered for
