This analogy is also wrong, exactly for the reason that IP is not a physical thing that can be taken - it can only be copied. Yes, by leaving $0.40, I would be stealing $0.59 of foregone revenue, but that is because the shop doesn't ha

I'm not OP, but I also unfollowed all friends years ago. I basically use Facebook as an instant messenger, nothing more.

I only got to try one "phone VR" setup and it was a very underwhelming experience. There was very little synchronization between head movements and actual change of the image; I didn't feel immersed into the virtual world at

God, I hate that phrase. I mean, I know that's the intended reason for it - to make it outrageous. But it's also stupidly incorrect. Facebook is not "producing" people who are using it, it is producing specific represent

Yes, however that is far more limited scenario - it's much easier to notice that free space on my phone is disappearing. And that space is not limitless anyway, so after certain period of time it'd have to either drop old recordin

The thing with a microphone - yes; but definitely not with an always-on data connection. I only turn that on when I actually need it; same with GPS and wifi.

It is of course a trade-off. However having accepted one, doesn't mean I should accept the other. I still prefer to have one potentially listening microphone around, than have two.

So, if I understand your point correctly, you mean that newer programmers, who are struggling to find any solution at all, would go for the (subjectively) easier one, i.e. the one with f1() outside of the loop? I agree they would go for the

Well, it's a good gut reaction to have. As you wrote yourself "In reality, both are equally easy to write" - therefore the first one is a good default to assume, because in some cases it may actually matter. If you choose goo

I did, although I admit it was only for awful projects, where people used to comment out code instead of deleting it... hundreds of lines of commented out code and occasionally one or two lines uncommented in the middle of that. Not fun to

Unfortunately no. The main problem was that we had absolutely no dedicated customer support people - the boss disbanded them, because he saw them as unnecessary wall between customers and engineers; he assumed that all cases brought to CS a

I did that for a couple of years and I could agree that occasionally it may be useful for engineers to feel first-hand pains of the user. However in my experience it quickly devolves into engineers spending whole days on customer support,

Regarding bus drivers: I've seen speed bumps which don't cover whole width of the road - they are just wide enough so that cars can't avoid them, but buses (which are wider) can pass them freely. Obviously this assumes that b

I'm not sure if Google Cardboard is a good way to "try it out". For me it was terribly underwhelming experience when compared to Vive; certainly wouldn't get me more interested in VR. On the other hand, I got to try Vive

Can you even imagine Turing-complete GUI? That's what would be necessary to rival Turing-completeness of scripting in CLI. And even if such GUI would be created, I don't think it would be any easier to understand than learning CLI

That's exactly why I never keep any important files on system partition. I prefer to keep Windows all by itself on a separate partition, then I don't have to worry about it messing up my things.

Interesting, I never actually encountered "czaj" used to describe tea. From a quick search it seems to be either prison slang, or a word used in eastern Poland, coming from Russia. And then there's "czajnik" for tea

Not necessarily, for example we'd measure escape velocity from our system as starting from Earth, so effectively we'd be 1 AU above Sun's surface.
