Yeah but it's because your plumbers have judgement and will not start to demolish a whole house because they discovered a sub optimal detail in the initial construction of the plumbing. Or install a high pressure car wash in someone&#x

Of course your first exposure is not formal education, but the things I picked up by ear, the speakers had learned in formal education. Nobody becomes an expert in a field, completely detached from the existing body of knowledge. You could

> Very very few world famous exponents of popular music have a formal musical education. This is just false. If you start to dig into this a little bit, you will easily find connections between almost all famous musicians, and universiti

Yeah it's not true at all, just look at russell's lydian chromatic concept for example, and how much new ideas for jazz and improvisation that it spawned. Theory does not only come after practice. Oh how I wish people would stop v

Can you give an example of a master speaker who doesn't know how to read or write, and are completely ignorant of grammar and how language works? And can you really say that one such example would make speaking mostly unrelated to lang

I agree, in principle, but I think not only was he a good leader, he also was lucky to have good team members (which probably also became better team members from the trust and respect that his leadership got them). But a large percentage o

Yep, he had the balls to stand up for the team, and to get away with that the organisation has to be very pragmatic and reasonable, which is not always the case..

Sounds just like scrum, and the job of the scrum master, as it is (was) actually described.

Yeah but even if it seems more comfortable to sit at a desk, it's much worse for your health, and also will make you feel worse already at the end of the day, so as a desk worker you're basically required to spend another hour aft

Yeah I agree, what a strange premise, do people really have this expectation on travel? And the conclusion too, is to replace travel with mindful meditation and try to use that one single thing instead to fix everything.

by jseban 5y ago
Travelling for work is something completely different from travelling for leisure, which is what is meant by travel in this context.

Why would you try to learn an instrument in such a hard way, instead of just using existing method books? The guitar is not exactly uncharted territory, there are guitar departments in universities..

It's not about looks, it's about social skills. Can someone be friendly, make friends, make you feel good. Or are they awkward, unpleasant and weird.

It's because you are not performing, it's the performance that's the awe inspiring part.

> No, they - in general - do not. Yes they do. I'm both a musician and a software developer and the difference in social prestige is night and day, depending on how I present myself. You're trying to refute the statement that m

Yeah, you can't eliminate essential complexity by narrowing your view, it will just obscure the big picture.

I agree, these rules make the code extremely verbose and over abstracted and scattered. The resulting code base will be several times the size of a straight forward solution, and this has a very big negative impact on maintainability. Even

Yeah, the problem is not intelligence, but the fact that he simply is uneducated, and does not have the skills of critical thinking, deduction and scientific method. Yet he poses as one, gets involved in debates and makes claims of which he

Yeah, and that calculation also only adjusts rent for inflation, and in reality rent has risen much much more than inflation. The rent for that apartment today would be more than 100% of the average middle class income.
290.
by jseban 5y ago
That was my conclusion as well, everything was simply insanely cheap then compared to today. A car today cost much more than 3 months salary, and to rent such an apartment would be basically impossible. The rent was 12% of his income only.

> Simply stating that you did as instructed is not a viable excuse for a human, that's not what they're paying you for. Getting paid for doing what someone tells you to do, is literally the definition of a job. What you're

The description of the "problem" is that the requirements specified in the beginning were wrong, and then the developer is blamed for solving exactly what was specified, and not constantly asking management every day "have yo

The fundamental problem with an ORM is that you're using a lower level language to compile to a higher level language. This is completely backwards. It's like having a framework in your assembly to generate Java code for you, so y

So now we have easily come up with three different ways of rewriting the query to avoid that duplication (which obviously was not a problem at all to begin with): subquery, CTE and lateral join. And there are also several more well known wa

Yeah according to news headlines health care have been overwhelmed for as long as I can remember. Population increases as well. Obviously the solution is to increase capacity, not to ban dancing, lol

Be my guest, but don't force all of society to be your hypochondria buddies.

Millions out of what? Big scary number without context says nothing whatsoever.

by jseban 5y ago
Everyone gets sick, you can't really stop that. Restricting your life from normal activities from fear of being infected with low risk cold viruses, is the very definition of hypochondria

Enough with this fear mongering bullshit please, what are you trying to achieve, is it fun to spread panic? Show a proper statistically significant excess mortality, or stop talking about people dying.
