The answer is almost always tooling + resources. Scientific advancement outpaces tooling + resources - look at biology, physics (micro + macro), genetics, etc.

Varies greatly for me. Generally $120, but only because I give good clients a 20% discount, but I'll go down to $60 for work that I really want to do.

I wonder what the author would think of C# now. Seems he's very much a fan of C++ over C#/Java, which may have changed in the intervening 15+ years. Personally, I think continuing to use C++ for game dev (it is still the lingua fr

As far as message queues go, I'd be hard pressed to choose anything but rabbitmq. Easy to install, sane config out of the box, developer friendly definition, relatively flat learning curve with highly googleable answers, and widespread

It's hard to talk about the COVID vaccine in the context of other vaccines. The history of our attempts at developing traditional vaccines for this type of virus goes back 50 years, and we've been very unsuccessful at it, not for

Is this vaccine-derived polio "medically resistant" (or vaccine resistant), or does it just infect people who may have waning immunity, no immunity, etc?

You have no authority over someone else's body. It sucks, but it's reality. Education is hard. Deradicalization is even harder. But it's something we need to learn how to do again as a society. Some of the vaccine conspiracy

I run a relatively large social media group. We have a following of about 10k. Even with FB's automated tools (which are surprisingly good), we still have to "prune" ~10 bot accounts per day. If we weren't strict about t

Just for fun, I took a look at GBP/USD and it looks like that is tanking as well. Meanwhile the ruble is stronger than it's been in 4 years. For people in the EU/UK, how has this currency slide impacted your day to day?

There are a few hard and fast rules around code quality (and every rule is meant to be broken), everything else is just preference.

Anyone who has watched Time Team understands why this took place. England is filthy with Roman ruins, among other sorts. But only when you have a noteworthy celebrity, a reality TV show, and everything that is involved in that, do you have

I hate modals. I think they're bad UX. I think they're antiquated. I think they have all the problems outlined in this essay. If Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest use modals, I'm going to use modals. "What user

There are people who want to wield science of this nature like a weapon against ideas that have sustained society for thousands of years, out of "compassion." These people are incredibly dangerous. They introduce bias. They stifle

FB ads are higher value, less obtrusive, and despite it's reputation in tech circles, FB has a better reputation with genpop than Google does.

I expect Facebook is in a better ARPU position as the ad market continues to implode than Google. I further expect that, as Google becomes more desperate, more users will flock to non-Google products due to the poorer UX on e.g. YouTube. Fa

What is there to "fix?" The system is working as intended in many ways. People just aren't aware who the meaningful stakeholders are. It's not the PhD, it's not the taxpayer, and it certainly isn't "scienc

No one at any point in the funding cycle benefits from asking questions. In fact, for most of the people in a position to ask the kinds of questions that need to be asked, they risk their entire career when they do so. The entire industry h

I live through this every 2 years: - Marketing team decides they want a new site. - I tell them when/how we can schedule it. - They decide they want to go outside so it can get done "quicker" by "professionals." - I
