This keeps getting down-voted, so let me clarify. The problem was summed up nicely in Stephen Diehl's "Near Future of Programming Languages" which I've posted as separately another comment ( http://dev.stephend

Ask your manager if there is anyone on the team that you could use as a mentor -- someone to bounce ideas off of and talk to. Ask your co-workers for Zoom "coffee break" meetings, just to chat and get their opinions on what they&#

If you like mountains, snow, skiing and hiking: do Zurich. If you like beaches, heat, and small French towns: do Monaco. (IMO)

I didn't mean to be judgmental. It's your decision.

It's funny that you chose Zurich for your example. It's a city I've lived in for many years and I think I can honestly say it's one of the great cities in the world. Safe, clean, and gorgeous. The language is really ha

"I don't believe the Fire Department is being as efficient as they can be, therefore I won't chip in my portion to help fund them." That's puerile and childish. You're not being principled, you're being

First, taxes paid isn't wasted money. It's (theoretically) going to those who need it. Tax havens, along with other tax avoidance schemes, are pretty popular with the rich, which means governments are on the lookout for them. I

It's a good example of where flagging works. There are a billion forums to discuss politics. This is not one of them.

I want to say something stupid and cheeky like, “I have discovered a truly marvelous demonstration of this proposition that this margin is too narrow to contain.“ But really, the answer doesn’t fit as a comment. All I can truly say is that

This is one of my favorite topics! I'll take it a step further and say, God help us if we're still looking at text in 20 years. (Note: I'm not a fan of, nor advocating graphical models.) The component model has been around s

That's a bit unfair. If there's a time window then people will short, which will then force a short squeeze and instead of collapsing it will balloon more. The share price is already reflecting that people thought it would have c

You could have said the same in 1929. The last 30 years has had an expanding market. We're now facing a deeply contracting market. Equities will lose most of their value; gold will do the opposite.

I've always said Citizen Kane is the best film but Casablanca is the best screenplay.

Strict banning of speech about the electoral controversy is more dangerous than the classic example of yelling FIRE in a crowded theater.

That is an opaque point and adds nothing to our discussion.

VCs aren't investing in innovation, specifically. They're investing in a business that can provide a return on investment. No language and really no package can charge for use and become widely accepted. It's not a busines

The argument is not whether some of the poor are happy in the jobs and some wealthy are not. The argument is about the future and what it could look like. The hope of machinery is that it can free us. And yet if we look around, much of la

I think he completely missed the point of the film. It wasn’t an attempt to predict what the world would look like in a hundred years. It was a fable. When the interior of a scene was larger than the exterior, it wasn’t a mistake but an

Wow, I didn't know that! Thanks so much. Bishop pair is clear, of course, but I literally would look for a single knight/bishop ending (where I would have the knight), thinking it gave me the advantage. Maybe it was a placebo ef

They can’t declare victory, only project. Personally, I’m suspicious of the results, but if nothing changes, if fraud is not discovered, it’s a fair call.
