I think that entity-relation diagrams are underused, especially when analysing requirements with stake holders. Unfortunately a lot of otherwise capable people that could benefit from some simple structuring of things and their relations ha

Isn't that more or less in the range expected from background radiation bitflips when having 48 GiB?

Maybe more efficient, but the default settings put my actions in the same queue as everything else. This can be rather annoying, especially if the machine is low on memory or swapping to death. As a matter of design principle for a desktop

Obviously so. I can think of three distinct dimensions; technical, planning and political/coaching. Maybe it's four but I think the last two are sides of the same coin. You need all of them to some extent.

I think it's the individual that matters. An intelligent, the right amount of humble, responsible, and motivated person that is broad enough to grasp the bigger picture while understanding enough of details, and is interested in managi

Hm, being a bad manager is more visible, and even a good manager will attract more criticism. A mediocre developer can hide behind the team or other circumstances that can be more or less hard to evaluate.

Having worked 20 years, I'm getting me and more tired of one thing: a meeting that includes a manager that you need to explain every obvious thing to. It's no problem with clients, stakeholders, new hires, or even unreasonably thi

It already is damaging things as it is. The Neato have peeled a USB cable and an audio cable. It also have chewed on a few laptop charger cables but they seems to be tougher so no damage. Hopefully it won't peel something that could be

Having lived in both central Stockholm and central Madrid, I wholeheartedly support the requirements for parking spaces. People will own cars, and they need to be somewhere. The regulation could be relaxed to allow separate garages or parki

There's always a sock waiting to be stuck on somewhere... But I don't get it why they won't make the robot reverse a short bit and try to go around instead of just rolling over and die. That would solve 99% of the situations

I think that there are personal traits that make people perform good in most situations, but perhaps not all extremes. As continuity is normally good, you try to find those, and change only if you really have to. A programming competition e

I'm not sure of what effects you are talking about, but at home a reasonably probable 32 A 400V 10mm cable that is 8m long is about 99.75% efficient. I'm not sure about contacts but let's say it's at least 99%efficient i

I understand that it's impossible to both implement a rule and not implement a rule, but what is actually the benefit of disabling this? All nerd sleeps safe at night confident that no one changes their private variables? Does this mea

Need to get through door. Rfid tag gets cut out. The owner is likely to notice that. Picking a wallet will probably not harm anyone.

Seems like the least important thing to plug. Everyone that do this knows they're in deep shit anyway, but this is taking away their paddle.

It still says "subject" in your passport, regardless of if you have a number or not ;-) But yeah, I get parts of it. I remember that my granddad was always a bit miffed over the identity number he got, since he lived half his life

by kpil 9y ago
Is that for any particular reason? There has been a national identity register here since 400 years, so I might be a bit biased, but I never really saw a problem in everyone knowing where other people live. The most common problem is you ha

Implanted rfid chips must be the most stupid idea so far. It does not really solve any actual important problems, unless you are a cat, and introduce health risks and security risks instead.

Hey! Java/Swing is one of the most respected platforms for running universe-type applications!

To be honest, until recently I'd say that everything would be rewritten in java - mostly since there were already deployment pipes for it. With the latest container-based toolchains I think it's not a bad idea to deploy some R-bas

Theoretically, you can grill it, and hope that most wax esters will melt, but I wouldn't want to bet my underpants on that again. I'm told that it also develops histamines in a much higher rate than other fish so there is also a r

From a customer's perspective, it's really hard to prove, so I have rarely done anything when I have gotten ill. Most of the cases it's been rather mild symptoms and I have suspected the canteen at work for serving leftovers

I think java comes out as one of the most efficient and battle tested backend languages. For data crunching, especially statistical jobs, Python is probably also a good fit although it's not as efficient but have a number of good stat

Redux is a cat that thinks it's a lion. It's not managing the combined state of a massive 1000-system enterprise mess, it's just pushing some shit out through a browser.

This argument is as old as programming. High level language programmers don't understand everything as good as us assembly programmers, etc. I don't think it's relevant for evaluating tools. It is only relevant when hiring as

Wouldn't two temperature sensors tell a bigger difference for wet soil, as the wick temperature is lower in damp soil. If it's little difference it's probably dry. That's at least partially how my finger works as a senso
