In my view, instead of cutting down on your fun time and activities, you can cut down on your expanses, so that you need to work less and thus create more free time for yourself. It's much healthier to work half-time or 3 days a week o

Well, it's a bit different with viruses as they're not directly part of the food chain for complex organisms - unlike mosquitos that are important food source to many insects, fish and birds. For instance for some fish and their f

Pretty much all projects of large-scale human ecological interventions ended up with some unexpected side-effect. It's extremely hard to take into account all the variables and often you fix one issue, but create 10 new ones. Just thin

You jump to conclusions and project your own anger/frustrations that have absolutely nothing to do with me. First of all I totally agree with you that to women it was much harder to succeed in those times, there's no need to expla

Because in those days big part of "coding" was actually transcribing program logic into codes and then punching holes in cards for those codes. It was tedious and boring process. What we today call code monkeys is super-creative p

Don't regular web sites do exactly the same? They also usually pack all JS and CSS into two big files in order to reduce the number of requests on the initial load, right? And beside in SPAs you can split the code and lazy load it to r

This rule exists in many European countries, but afaik it only applies to situations when the lane is blocked or stops there, so all cars have to move into one lane. It's totally OK however to not let into the lane people who're u

Oh yeah, I had a very similar childhood story growing up in old Yugoslavia, I loved Mister No and Martin Mystere. It's really strange how Bonelli's comics got super popular in Balkans and Turkey, but are much less known in the res

I never said it doesn't make a sense for US Army to do it, but that very small number of other countries could afford that approach. That's something only superpowers can pull off.

It all depends where you come from, for instance if you've ever used Angular, you'll pick up Vue's syntax in one afternoon, it's super simple transition. Also to any backend programmers it will probably feel more familia

They simply play safe. If you hire someone with PhD it's very unlikely that anyone will ever blame you for not taking that other random smart dude instead. The other way around you might get into a trouble for your choice. It's j

I don't think CSS has anything to do with art, you usually have the design done already, you just need to put it together in a way that browsers can read, so it's just good ol' programming. Thing is that it's very easy t

It's so sad that the word passion has become an euphemism for working long hours and weekends, and it really should be all about caring about the project. The paradox with that is that more you're burned out less you will care abo

You're totally right, it's an approach that requires more motivation, but I don't think it's really that hard. University curriculums are made for young people who're not necessarily super motivated to study (many s
