Makes sense. It's not typical though :)

Out of curiosity, where was this?

A company can go bankrupt but still have assets to pay back debts. Bankruptcy protection can apply in that case, if the business can somehow continue operating instead of simply be liquidated. But if the company has no assets to seize, bank

I honestly do not, and I never saw anybody doing that...

Interesting. But, having no idea about the future pricing, I'm very reluctant to really use it.

Banning in food = you can't sell food containing the substance as normal food. Nobody would prohibit you to mix it into your own food and eat it, though. So, the substance's uses are controlled, but it's not banned :)

Banning ingredients for food is a very specific kind of ban. I'm against the war on drugs, but I'm totally for banning strongly psychoactive ingredients from food - cannabis should be a controlled substance.

Do you always read all ingredients for prepared food you buy?

Even if a lot of programming gets commoditised, I think that would still be a white collar job, not a blue collar one. But, of course, calling it "blue collar" can make for a better title.

This also shows the power of focus in marketing: it's much better, from a branding point of view, to be the best in a smaller market, than a "me too" in a bigger one.

Recessions are base called based on economic output (GDP), not markets.

Trying not to be snarky: you don't compute averages by reading "these articles".

Fairly interesting article. I'm a bit baffled by the reference to a supposed attempt at abandoning the von Neumann architecture (full citation below) - what would these alternative architectures be? It doesn't seem at all likely t

Is China the new empire of evil? Why would they do such a stupidly suicidal thing?

In most cases, you can just provision the OS from a web interface. If you get a bigger machine where you need to configure the disks yourself, there is a pretty easy to use command line tool they built which does most of the work. The only

I wouldn't suggest to use that for the main DB, but for almost everything else docker works perfectly fine on Hetzner.

I understand your points, but I would suggest to consider a different point of view: 1. When you're experimenting with a seriously new technology or approach, the most likely outcome is that you'll fail, especially at the market a

A very nice property of open source software is that you can fork it, "show that it can be done" without having to start from scratch, and if the results are provably better, get your approach adopted. The trickiest part is the pr

In my experience, and from what I remember from my own training, the scrum master can very well be part of the team. Having somebody external, objective, well trained, and available exactly when the team needs him looks very good... but pre

> You need a trained and certified Master because otherwise people new to Scrum might not know to pick hats You certainly don't need a certified scrum master. Ideally, the scrum master should be somebody who is already in the team.

Yes, the biggest problem was the lack of integration* tests: you can get a false confidence that everything is working, but you only know that the individual cogs are built to spec, not that the machine is working. Second problem was that r

My point is that we know for a fact that our brain doesn't work anything like a Turing machine. Can a Turing machine simulate a brain - as in, create intelligence like the one our brains expose? That's very much an open question,

To complicate things, in Italian "table" exists both as "tavolo" (male) and "tavola" (female). The female version is more often used for "plank" than "table", except in some specific express

Being Turing complete makes them as powerful as any other digital computer, but it has little (personally I would say nothing) to do with our brain.

I can't comment on other articles, but I would be careful with some suggestions about mocking everything in automated tests. I've seen a couple of totally botched projects because of that approach.

An example is logging something to a remote server for analytics purposes: you can fire and forget.
