If they all work, does it even make a difference? Besides it would be trivial to write a refactoring tool that can autoreplace all instances with the preferred form.

I don't even understand why he doesn't like case insensitivity. I can't think of a reason to have two files with the same name that vary only in capitalisation.

The problem is often that the project is underspecified from the beginning, people are very bad at specifying their requirements. I think this is because the edge cases can seem so obvious for someone experienced in X that they don't s

I don't know where their data is from, are these names taken from birth certificates? Maybe people are using psuedonames for their music careers?

I don't think that is a requirement though, realistically the cost saving on a Windows OEM license will be eclipsed by the reduced game catalog for quite some time.

Everyone has their own different opinion on which policies and ideas are "objectively wrong and not things that are up for debate". Further, how can you even define terms like racism in ways that are not too broad or too narrow. T

I don't know if Carmack or Woz wanted to be founders or entrepreneurs. They might have been content to work as employees on a steady salary if they were given freedom to work on their ideas.

There are open source wiki platforms so wikia is not the only option.

by jiggy2011 12y ago
Isn't that what Wikia is for? No single website can reasonably hope to cater to everyone's interests but luckily the web makes it very easy to create alternatives.

Does this study examine the difference between people who are in long term non married relationships and those who are not? Does porn cause people in relationships not to convert those relationships into marriages or does porn cause people

If your media is 337GB then you must already be storing it somewhere other than your 256GB SSD! Besides, does it matter much if you delete an app when it can be downloaded again in a matter of minutes?

You could install more than 1000 apps on a moderate SSD at 100MB each. How many apps does the average person have installed?

But if you can get developers who are cheaper and of higher quality (because your low pay automatically filters out those with a lack of passion) by offering low salaries then this might explain why game studios with low pay produce bette

But you don't know how small the effect is unless you measure! If 90% of the population marry once and never divorce but the remaining 10% marry and then divorce 5 times this means that the divorce rate is 36%. The article mentions tha

How do you tell if the person was motivated by passion or by money in their previous jobs? You could look for people who previously worked for low pay and offer them higher pay, but if they worked for low pay in the past then they are proba

Nintendo has got a long way by rehashing the Mario and Zelda IPs but crucially they made new games with new gameplay.

How do you find the passionate employees and separate them from those driven by money? If you advertise a high salary and a 40 hour week you will get applications from both types of people and they will both say at the interview that they a

Since nobody can have a negative number of divorces, a small percentage of data points with many divorces can "skew" the statistics.

That depends on why you are interested in measuring divorce rates.

You couldn't write the 2014 Linux kernel because it is the product of thousands of people and millions of dollars , you could probably write the 1991 Linux kernel given time and motivation. Linus did a lot of things wrong in the early

There are a few games that had only a basic plot that was expanded upon in more detail by later games or movies. Doom for example.

The EU implicitly backs Eurozone countries because it has to, the UK is not a Eurozone country. The UK should definitely be able to control it's own taxes, the only alternative is fiscal union.
