Stop reading, start doing. Imagine someone asks how do I train to run a marathon? Start by running 1 minute a day and add a minute every few days, after 2-3 years you'll be running long enough to run a marathon. There is no substitute

This is why I can't stand talking to most enviros they claim on one hand that cc will end humanity and then claim geoengineering is too dangerous...

Everything is a finite resource, the sun isn't going to last forever either.

Let's put it this way, most coal plants release so much nuclear waste that if you could capture the uranium and thorium released you could generate more power with it than the coal it came from.

I understand how to make the implementation work initially, however I would tell the client no we don't support that, and then wait for them to offer an amount of money to make it worthwhile. It's not hard, however, it complicates

The foundational principles are usually logically inconsistent with each other. Please explain how you proceed logically from the position that eating from the tree of knowledge is sin?

Doubtful, I'd 86 this feature as a PM. Way too much complexity for too little benefit.

Run your meetings / classes according to Roberts rules, move to set out a time limit for each person to make their point, limit each person to 1 rebuttal, and then vote on the issue. Whenever I had to deal with contentious issues as a

The epistemological method in use in the class, so for instance in theology appeals to faith or words written thousands of years ago would be acceptable, while you'd probably want to reject appeals to logic/rationality. In science

Bomb in a briefcase is a common movie trope, since most people's working knowledge of explosives and bombs comes from movies it's reasonable to assume that an older style clock in a metal briefcase like they do in movies would be

Yeah, his father is certainly a very savvy man, no doubt about that. I do think even orchestrated the police took it a little far, however, probably not $15m far.

He's not the only kid to get in trouble with the police at school. I dunno man, I'm from Canada, and this is like $100K tops, obviously we don't have the same legal climate as the US but $15m seems a little steep, I do realiz

It sheds light on the issue in that his parents likely orchestrated the whole thing.

In that getting called into the office for your homemade 'clock' is not a big deal, and certainly not a $15m big deal.

You obviously haven't been around the internet too long, if another kid takes a apart a clock and puts it in a briefcase he could easily cause $15 million in damages from cultural appropriation alone.

I wish I got $15 million every time I got called to the principals office.

It may not be statically typed, but it is strongly typed which is usually more useful than static typing. For instance the type system in C is static but weak, creating entire classes of issues that are hard to debug that don't exist i

Not really, you're just operating on a higher dimension. It's like saying multiplication makes things hard to understand... You could write things 15 x 3 or 15 + 15 + 15, I dislike having programmers who like to do the latter on m

XCode (for ObjC) is very commendable for no longer crashing every 5 minutes, other than that its pretty crappy compared to other IDEs created by multi-billion dollar companies (even some open source IDEs are better) When working in swift it

It's pretty easy, on iOS we use swift, my Android team uses java, my web team uses ruby. I switch fluidly between rails and swift, and I leave the java dev to those who enjoy it.

Reflection sucks in swift which makes many web patterns tedious to implement.

That's the exactly way to 'preload', turn the firewall on at boot, 'preload' by running a query and/or reading the index then open the firewall to normal connections.

Kinda, it's many things to many people, I think like VOIP it will serve as the infrastructure for banks but for individual consumers it will likely never take flight, just as we still use a lot of cell phone numbers that use VOIP infra
