Debate doesn't do any of the thing that I consider critical to learning about the world. 1. Maintain a calm attitude 2. Evaluate facts BEFORE taking sides, and evaluate if you have enough facts to make a conclusion 3. Con

I ride my carbon fiber road bike down the bike trail in the morning; when I drive home after a night of entertainment, I see laborers riding their bikes in the busy street to get home after a long day of work. I feel the irony deeply.

If you're wondering why this isn't a big deal in food - tobacco leaves have a huge surface area and generally are NOT washed before being dried. Nearly all food IS washed; but this is a good reminder that we live on a real planet,

Not trolling. The last time I had done this was in the Java 1.0 days. I would invite you to re-read your code and see how many different things you need, and how they are expressed differently in different places. "Any Java dev" -

How many proof of concepts must a project knock down, before you start to integrate. (with profuse apologies to Bob Dylan) This is a very good thing to keep in mind when estimating.

Haha. I worked on a manufacturing monitoring app. It communicated status from plant floor controllers (PLC) to turn boxes on the screen different colors. The operators wanted a certain box to "turn green", and they told a coworker

I tried to build a Hello World java console app last year from notepad and command line. I'm sure I could have got it to work, but it's just so much easier to let the IDE do everything for me that I gave up.

Every history book is a narrative. Do you listen to: The generals and presidents and industrialists? or The privates and citizens and workers? Most of the narrative of WWII I learned in high school is built off of grains of truth, but other

The first time I heard Whitey On The Moon, I had a strong feeling that we don't all live in the same world, even while we share the same planet. As a counterpoint, there's Home on Lagrange: https://www.youtube.com/

Molten cheese means that something that was intended to increase safety became a hazard during an incident. Think of how the SCRAM at Pripyat/Chernobyl caused the reactor to go supercritical because of the graphite tips. The control ro

If you have an infrared thermometer (they commonly have a pistol grip and laser pointer), take it outside at night and point it up. A couple days ago in central Texas at 10 pm, the air temperature at ground level was 90 F, but the temperatu

In real life, things are rarely zero-sum or have one correct answer. Nearly all engineering is balancing different concerns - durability vs price, weight vs features, and so it goes. Besides engineering, you also have game theory, political

This makes me think of crash-only programming. If he didn't try to avoid variance and just quit, what are the odds that he could finish the run? Or like, how much does each risk mitigation cost? If he made it twice as risky, is it twic

Neat! I bought a 200 mm mirror and other stuff to make a Newtonian telescope, but I only got halfway through putting it together before I got distracted. Where do you take your images? One of the pictures looks like a back yard.
