It is relevant because they chose to abandon best practices because of a lack of tooling. A badly chosen language constraining your development methods is like a tail wagging the dog. There are languages and, more importantly, implementat

The argument against Tests sounds like a tooling problem to me. Why shouldn't a compiler be able to optimize the modular approach to the same code that a monolithic approach yields?

Is there any benign scenario that explains why amazon should do that? They have essentially put listening devices into every home and now they bypass the home owner's network? Am I the only one that thinks this looks like it is about

You could also do this with the C-preprocessor or CMake config files. But a common, well-defined source language (here: yaml) should make it easy to add new backends and to adhere to language quirks (e.g., number literal formats)

I learned about the CentOS 8 story and could cancel a pending upgrade. Saved a lot of effort.

I think scrum is a tool for middle management that invented ceremony to give their role "meaning". At the same time it allows them to avoid the difficult questions of product management (e.g. "is this really an orthogonal fea

This is definitely one of the few cases where extensive animal experiments need to be considered. Create a heart, put it into a thousand pigs and see how they do. Once they do fine, go over to hundreds of primates. Afterwards go on with ter

The idea that the mongols would carry the pest seems strikingly logical at first. After all, what did the conquistadors carry to the Americas? But that model doesn't really work well, if one thinks about it. The mongols did move large

Why is there no move_back(), I wonder?

Maybe this is a very stupid question, but what's your business plan by starting with the second stage? First stage reuse clearly aims to bring down cost and increase cadence/volume of standard launches (people and cargo to ISS, sa

Wording as it is described here seems to be meaningless. HR persons in general cannot understand the position's requirements. That's why they cling so much on technical details. "What tools do you use? Clang 10.0.1? Ok!"

That came to my mind as well. If I don't expect the deposit back and cannot afford to claim it, let's just turn the tables and make them claim something from me .

Maybe it helps to not think about people as statistics. You could write something like "Do you doubt you are right for this job? Please apply anyways, we'd like to know about you!". The problem with that , of course, is that

Does that article really end with: > Good netcode matters, period. So let’s talk about it. Because at that point I didn't read anything about netcode, except how important it is.

Oh my the bootdisks. Funnily I recall managing a lot of MS-DOS config.sys and autoexec.bat stuff (we run this stuff for games until 96 or so) but I definitely didn't understand it. Now I wonder were I got the ideas to change such arcan

What do you mean by "respects the equivalence relation"? Do you demand that f(x) ~ x implies that f(x) = x ? (~ being the equivalence and = being identity).

I don't think I have ever seen a mainstream language letting you design data types with a built-in normalization. The reason is that you normally have algebraic, i.e., sum and product, types. In such constructions you would expect cons

But that does not allow you to manipulate it automatically (think about moving domains or something like this), nor does it help you to detect errors (which few tools do, but many actually should do).

Military organizations tend to detach personal for long shifts so the remaining unit can stay somewhat functional in their normal schedule. When I was on guard duty it was usually a 24h shift followed by a 24h break for a group of 8 or 10 p

This doesn't help you to eliminate impossible values. A large aspect of datatype modeling is to encode constraints from the problem domain. Once encoded they are automatically enforced. Maybe the Builder pattern comes close to that ide

That begs the question: How did you feed the little ones? Having a baby in its own room from day 10 implies a very high effort feeding schedule, no?

Why do you even bother responding to someone who uses such unprofessional software?

You guys should contact (some of) the F1 teams. They would certainly love to have more efficient motors in their hybrid PUs. A 5kg saving is literally worth millions in that business. Also Formula-E might be interested, but I don't kno

This organizational aspect could be outsourced to one dedicated organization. Not all distributions have to join. I think if 20% did, 80% of the problems would be solved.

Would it be feasible for rust to ship "re-link" scripts? That is, when a cargo dependency gets updated, the distribution can check whether packages code needs to be re-linked? Similarly, when distributed code (say libssl) changes,

I think it would help if distributions could snatch a piece of real estate in upstream software. Something like, "in every project, the debian/ root folder belongs to the debian project and follows their rules". The packaging

The distribution provides support for much longer than upstream does. Also, packaging is actual work. Just because some hipsters in some company consider it cool to release new features every 4 weeks, it does not mean that the volunteers of

How about this, then: Each school gets a share of the economic benefit it generates. That is, every year after leaving the school, every student is graded by what they paid in taxes, earned in income, contributed to social security, or what

And by "routine" you mean "standard when you lose an engine" not, "we lose an engine every other Friday", right? Because starting in a plane is kind of scary enough, all things considered.
