I think the reasons for Russian invasion is somewhat simpler: - Ukraine military equipement is aging and of Russian origin. It is mostly useless to defend oneself against Russia. One day or another an independant Ukraine would have bought m

Inheritance in itself conflicts with encapsulation. First because it gives access to protected members of the super class. So it breaks encapsulation to the letter. Secondly because it hurts code locality so much. To such an extend it is di

Turns out last week I played Wii with my kids. We had great fun with Boom Blox. The combination of a pointing device and a motion sensor is what enables the Jenga-like mini-games. Something impossible on a Switch. Then I showed my kids the

Since first lockdown in my country, when dishwasher tabs went missing in stores, I got used to use 1/2 a tab for each wash. Turns out dishes were just as clean as with a full tab. To this day I keep using 1/2 tab per wash.

Subjective terms like "clean", "ugly" really hurt our field. OTOH the following attributes are objective and verifiable: - the code complies with coding conventions in force - it is correct - it is not inefficient I woul

Read research papers on a topic of interest to you. As of now I try to limit the time I spend on HN. I skim through articles very quickly. OTOH I recently reorganized my collection of research papers, most of them obtained thanks to that Ka

I am more or less in this rut now. I do SW planning which I now will be impossible to meet. Hopefully we never hit the deadline because priorities, requirements and resources constantly change. So planning is always revised. I am not the on

I would advise not to make a big deal about it. Someone who looked at the project from far away made bad comments on it. This is actually very common. When things start working and sell, all this is forgotten quite quickly and life goes on.

I tend to write everything in a TODO list. I use the one from Office 365. In the morning, after checking my mail, I select 2-3 items of this list that I target to be done this day. After an interruption, if I lost my saved PC, I check those

Expanding a bit on my comment: truth has not been established, that's one thing. The other thing is that there is no significant hope that truth is ever established. It is said that all the archive of Wuhan's P4 have been destroye

The conclusion "we don’t yet live in a post-truth world" is hard to swallow, considering two years after the facts there is no truth about the origin of the pandemic. The reasons for this lack of scientific proof are the subject o

Most of my career I have been dedicated and worked seriously, but never over-worked for any extended period of time. I think I might be just a bit above average compared to co-workers in terms of amount of work done. However sometimes I hav

Upgraded my Pixel 4 to Android 12 and told my wife to stay on Android 11. Bugs and questionable design changes. I do not think she will miss any feature ... erh actually what are the new features in 12?

I still firmly believe Lego is "one of a kind" in the toys category. I personally still use Lego Technics to prototype stuff from time to time. The thing is, kids (and maybe adults too) do not play Lego as they did before. The les

I liked the HVAC controls of my 2005 Honda CR-V. Three big knobs: fan control, temperature, direction/mode. The temperature knob had one notch per °C. Simple and robust. All three were a pleasure to use even after 15 years, usually whi

"So long I have not found a bug in a piece of code, I have not tested enough." As a developer, it always worked for me. Also works when reviewing letters or exams: "so long I have not found a typo/error ..."

At lunch, avoid bread, pasta, rice, potato. Basically anything starch rich while having little to no fibers. Said differently stick to food with low GI [1]. Best is to prepare your lunch yourself. Since you'll have to take it at the of

Coal is thriving in China, India, Germany. So treating beef like coal would change ... nothing. Climate change is a global problem and assuming coal is treated globally as it is in the US is short-sighted. Most of the time coal power plants
