I would almost add another point to the list of 10 points: Your worse software engineering colleagues will often get promoted to do something else. Expect them to become your team lead.

I often find myself at totally random moments thinking about problems related to work. It is often at times that I have been away from the laptop, that solutions pop-up in my mind, for a nasty problem. Often it is form of attacking a proble

After being a software engineer for over 30 year, I agree with all the points. I have come to the conclusion that being a software engineer is one of the hardest jobs. Also because your often confronted with your weaknesses. But that also g

An important quality of a professional software engineer is being able to work in a team and being able to deal with personal differences. And those difference go beyond coding styles. With respect to coding styles, I always tell junior sof

If I am not mistaken, we had a pratical where we had to use a KIM-1, when I was studying computer science. I guess this was in 1982.

I think these processes are also driven by the fact that more and more people are living at or below the poverty level (due to an evert getting bigger gap between the rich and the poor) and reduction in social-economical mobility. The &#x27

Looks interesting. I understand that you can just provide the grammar as a string. Which seems to imply that it is an interpretting parser. There are not many interpretting parsers. (I did implement one myself [1].) I wonder if it can also

The side effects are only mentioned in the first paragraph of the article. I wonder how many people have died (or suffered considerable and possible lasting harm) as a result of colonoscopies performed during the period of the investigation

There are about 4.1e14 seconds in 130 million years. The two seconds delay is thus very small. I wonder what is the role of the fact that interstellar vacum is not an absolute vacum. I read some where that there is about one atom in each sq

I once (around 1983) met someone who had an astrological (astronomical) watch, that showed 'time' depending on the position of the earth with respect to the zodiac. He believed that periods when a sign would appear on the horizon

I stayed in Urumqi four times (in 1993, 1996, 2006 and 2010), each time for some weeks. It is really confusing that the (traditional) working hours are from 10AM to 2PM and 4PM to 8PM. I found myself everytime looking at the clock substrac

It sounds a bit implausible. I wonder if it is possible to preserve energy over very long periods to later use it more effectively. We are talking billions of years. I think that the 'suicide' explaination is more plausible. When

For genealogical research you need something more than just a tree builder, you need a system to record facts based on documents (like birth certificates) and a mechanism to link those records (I think person A mentioned in birth certificat

I think it is not that simple. The OP seems to have worked with different programming language and paradigms. It also has to do with the type of problem domain you have to deal with. For some type of problems, functional languages are great

I think that OP had not so much a problem with the PowerPC maintainer coming up with his own solution (which is basically the same, except maybe fitting the coding style better), but the fact that all his efforts for finding the root cause

When you grow older, and become lazier, you only create function/methods when they need to be called more than once. Some languages, like C# and JavaScript, also allow you to define them local (inside a method). When these are used to

This is not as big a deal as it is reported. First of all, it is only about summing the votes and secondly, all the original reports of ballot counting of individual polling stations are published (on the website) of municipalies and as Ele

I do not think that such a language has been developed. The complexity of how a CPU, with several levels of caching, RAM, harddrives (with their own caching), and network storage (with their own caching) is simply mind boggling. For that re

Nice library with many features. But I do not always understand the focus on memory usage. I guess that the reason behind this is that less memory allocations, have a positive effect on execution times. In a parser, where you often have to

I was not aware of this criticism. I also do not know if the expressed criticism is valid for every farming co-op. The one I am involved with is working in close cooperation with the local government. Even the planting plans are agreed upon

A few months ago, I have become member of a farming co-op just 8 minutes biking from where I live (in the Netherlands). The co-op aims at sustainable food production with some livestock. Increasing bio-diversity is one of the primary goals.

It is not only that, but I have known a lot of developers who simply hate the daily stand-ups, either because they were lead in the wrong way or because it did not match with their introvert personality, and that this added a lot of anxiety

This seems to imply that the income of gambling companies also has doubled. It probably also means that the number of people with problem gambling has increased. Many experts warned the government that legalizing online gambling was the wro
