Brand cognition is customers sticking to a brand for non-economic reasons (aka irrational economic behavior), market inefficiency, yes.

I was commenting on the link posted. "Could be" of course many things better. The webmasters could launch their own satellites.

AIS is the first thing nefarious vessels turn off when they do nefarious things. Or set it to show 100-1000 km off, AIS protocol is easy.

Of course. Just as it's impossible to have zero inefficiencies in any business or market. That's why I said "ideal", i.e. unachievable. But the closer we get, the better we are. Most inefficiencies come from hard-to-get-

If bank is able to pay interest on your savings account, then it means it invests your money into businesses with positive margins.

And ideal effective market must have a zero margins. That's normal, what the economy strives for, what customers want. If some market has large margins, it means it has some inefficiencies.

Mediterranean maybe (although I'm not sure), but it's actually very hard to find a ship, even as large as an aircraft carrier, in the ocean. The empty space is just too big. Satellites have hard time taking pictures of every squar

But it's IDE who picks up every change, not Maven. God forbid you run 'mvn install' for all modules on every line change while developing, that's IDEs job. Maven config just tells IDE locations and dependencies. For rele

I feel like Gradle is only relevant for Android. All other projects are fine with Maven (and I like a lot that Maven doesn't allow to code in the build config, any complex logic should be extracted to a custom build plugin, using real

Mmm, no, I don't see why OOP has anything to do here (any examples?). I did not use any inheritance. In general I would say OOP craziness faded long ago (in Java too), together with XML. Interfaces -- yes, are very much alive though.

Maybe, but customers DO want it, without realizing. I'm a decent DIYer, but I realize my wishes is not the same as a typical customer. Sadly, but customers vote with their wallets.

No, if one had ever read any Jepsen article immediately understands what's it about, and in what format. No need to edit original title here.

IMO, Kotlin coroutines are better of Go's goroutines, although they are a little different beasts to compare honestly (apples and oranges). Go inits goroutines on stack, but min size is 4KiB, so it's not trivial to grow them. Also

I recently worked on a Go project and my task was to make it more configurable at build time and start time (add plugins / addons, make it possible to reuse from other libraries and tools). Turned I had to create *Factory and *Provider

Are you sure about Go's garbage collector doesn't have pauses? AFAIK they are worse than modern Java's garbage collector [1]. I'm not sure it's even better than Java's, especially for modern ZGC (and you can ch

Not true. We spent more taxpayers' money on 2008 banks bailout than on every and any war (+ space race) combined. Also, investing into military tech prevents war on your territory, which is, well, highly disruptive.

Naah, my non-english-speaking friends say that the keywords are less than 1% complexity of a programmer's job, so it really doesn't matter. Also, in most languages you already can name variables/classes/members in any Un

I see mostly Java/Kotlin and Maven. Pretty modern stack. I would start a government service using those today.

Premature generalization is also a sickness. I'd say people more often try to extract a generic component "Group 0" way too early, when no all the differences are obvious. And de-generalizing it (aka introducing copypasta) ac

Hard disagree, I've seen how it can be otherwise. Try looking at smaller companies, they can be much better OR much worse than large companies, more variation.

Counterpoint -- capital owners see SWEs as their asset, and owners do not like to see their assets go away (with intellectual property in their heads). So they nurture and give a lot of freedom to their SWEs. I've seen both ways, and d

Nonono, I honestly tried to set it up on MacOS myself. It's not even close to Linux by configurability. And I'm not talking about some or CLI settings, I'm talking about built-in GUI OS "Settings" program.

There's no need, standard settings allow to change a lot.
