I wouldn't call this excellent advice - kill -9 will rob the process of the opportunity to clean up after itself and leave everything in a good state (e.g. any binary files being manipulated by the application). So I would use this as

I'm not sure that the author is exclusively talking about command-line applications. The expected behaviors would make sense inside IDEs, particularly if they are blocked by a modal window.

Not a file path specifically and not an input exactly but I think the proper word would be an argument.

It makes sense when you think about it. There are probably a lot more 10-12 y.o.s watching The Office vs being told racy jokes by adults.

> without an assessment of complexity The point of ML is that that can happen without human intervention. And yes, I agree that if devs are held accountable to such timelines that would be terrible. But if they are used for business plan

Give three estimates. One if everything goes well, the most optimistically you can imagine. One representing the most likely path. And one representing the worst-case scenario. Let your manager digest from there. If you have a bad manag

It's funny that the article uses quantum mechanics to argue that complex numbers are "real", since I would argue that quantum mechanics shows that irrational numbers aren't "real". Quantum mechanics belies the
