We are saying the same thing. Take ownership, plan and grow your code base intelligently with refactor and tests included in every estimate.

I've been in the same situation and here's what I learned: You will mostly never be able to revisit and refactor code 'once and for all' when it's deployed into production. The choices you make now will affect you

I went to look at pictures of the 'Balenciaga',it's an orthopedist's worse nightmare. Pretty sure it can cause serious injuries if you ever wear such a monstrosity.

When a 'joker' can make 'experts' look like idiots, you have to wonder about the relevance of the subject matter (in this case haute couture in Paris).

There should be a gameified excel online course. You've got challenges which you must overcome by learning ever increasing advanced excel concepts. This would have people more 'engaged' at learning the concepts instead of try

To me great business innovations needs 2 equal forces: 1) The marketing and customer oriented drive 2) The scientific, technological and engineering side. If you only have one of each, any success is surely fickle and will quickly dissolve.

I've been using wxPython for many years, and it works very well. What are the advantages of PyQT over wxPython? Anyone experienced both 'worlds' in a non-trivial application?

Needs no salting because there is always a ton of traffic on it and vehicles can barely go over 20 KM/h. That's one way to reduce accidents I guess ...

Wonder if this is due to a sinkhole type phenomena. They've caused a lot of damage on public infrastructure in the past years it seems.

My tentative answer is this: someone who uses Haskell appreciates elegant solutions (a.k.a mathematical/functional) and is inclined to write things 'properly' once and they might also idealize that the functions they write wi

Definitely not convincing to me either. But things sound so bad over a cell phone conversation, which kinda makes this works if you squint your ears and drink a liter of spirits.

The only reason this 'fooled' his mom is because cell phone sound is already bad, so the obvious garbles, fluctuating intonation and weird pauses seem normal. So it's impressive, but let's not get ahead of ourselves her

Innovation is certainly not always 'clean' and 'pretty' (under the hood so to speak) ... any company doing bringing in something new to market (product, service) bears the same type of profile. I really don't think

That green delivery truck (middle, left side) is really close to the edge of the collapsed section. What a nightmare for a driver of being so close to dying and seeing the entire thing happen (I assume).

Sometimes I wonder how much actual energy is expanded by humanity in such 'debates' (electricity, coal, nuclear..). I'm just that kind of person that likes to put thing into perspective. I'm certainly as 'guilty&#x2
