It depends on your team. If you have good juniors, they will relish the feedback. Of course it needs to be substantive. Often junior code will be far more complex and difficult to read than senior code, and code reviews are a chance to get

It's a strange thing, today's world. There exists, right now, a realized panopticon in suspension . The only reason we don't have one is that we don't want one. Sometimes I think that politicians wait for a time when w

Popping 1 stack is a normal return; popping N stacks is precisely what is meant by "no-local (or disjoint) transfer of control".

Checked exceptions are used to make up for Java's inability to return more than one value, plus it's inability to wrap two values without defining a new type. In other words, I think checked exceptions are basically a symptom of a

Well, this is why we should leave an easily visible monument on the moon, so if and when the next civ evolves on Earth they will know we existed.

I think it's time for you to roll up your sleeves and start modifying your editor, then. And if it's not modifiable enough, ditch it. I've been using IntelliJ for years (it's main thing is Java but it is also the best ja

In addition to this general malaise, the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is going to have a big, negative impact on all of the EU, especially Germany, and especially the software industry. The CRA itself is insane, requiring, for example, tha

Like the idea, but I probably won't use it. Yes, checked exceptions are annoying, but the correct place to fix them is the source. This compiler plugin blinds you. The ordinary ways to mitigate checked exceptions (wrapping them in unch

A healthy perspective - physicists do love their OOM estimates. The universe remains about 10e10 years old, even if this theory is true :)

Read phys.org with a grain of salt. Or better, don't read it.

That's awful, but also rather high-risk. Imagine if they did that and then manipulated the regulatory environment and/or the construction industry to limit new supply.... Now THAT would be evil.

And yet the Art of War tells you to attack when you are ready and your opponent is not. There are some problems that really need to "stew". Others require immediate action even when you aren't ready. It's very hard to te

Feynman was a genius. It takes a genius to say something like that, and it's surprising how many "scientists" are upset by statements like that, because they are so proud of their hard-won capabilities in modelling. Their cur

I remain convinced that the correct model for science is a) serious hobbyists and b) patronage for the really talented. It would weed out the careerists, at least. You just can't make a "science factory" and expect to produ

Perfectly applicable paper, thanks! I skimmed it, but I didn't see an explanation for the lower refraction index for the heavier isotope. It had the lower RI at all wavelengths they looked at. I think it's useful to ignore the &qu

Yeah, I was thinking about it and also lasers wouldn't work if it was 100% mini-Shapiro delays. I was thinking that maybe there's a small GR component to refraction, but the experiment would be tricky. You'd need to pin the e
