>2. Related to #1 - state school kids may think they are not good enough and not apply. To back this up, nobody else at my college applied. After I did on a whim, I discovered there was an aptitude test to pass, which I didn't. I bl

Does pressing a key on the home row really require a lot of justification? A project doesn't care how effective my tooling is if the next person doesn't have it.

15-50 being quite a big range and the 2004 publication date of the book (the comments hint at the reference being earlier) make me reluctant to take it at face value without looking into it in more depth, especially regarding new technology

Yet they didn't have them. Fallible humans didn't see the missing coverage. If they had that hindsight, they could have just not written the bugs at all.

To me that's hiding another question of whether or not it's worthwhile. Like when we ask if something is or isn't art, or if writing software is or isn't engineering. There shouldn't be any link between saying econo

Haven't books dripping with philosophy also always been considered appropriate? But I agree. Just look at an airport book shop's best sellers: is anyone really getting anything enlightening out of a trite mystery book that they do

Nx1000 in the current one, a company you've definitely heard of and used, Nx10 in the last one, which you haven't and you haven't. FAANG aren't the only companies.

>It's the only company that let's you openly engage with the CEO and hold them accountable. That's a very big claim. I can instant message mine. And I still have my last one's personal mobile number.

That's what I'm saying. But it only tells you that it is broken, not why. Users don't use tests, tests are for the developers.

Users care if the table is broken because it's taking too long to find the bug from endpoint-only tests

I don't think it's an assumption, I think it's a tautology. It's not nicotine; if you're using it you don't feel strongly against it.

-Facebook is a closed system -Anyone who feels strongly against Facebook will have stopped using it If both of these are true, the typical person commenting about its evils will have a poor idea of how it's actually used. So someone te

git-worktree seems to give git the multiple-checkouts feature. Also, this page seems to do the common but frustrating thing of advertising how something is implemented as a feature. I'm sure it's very interesting to the developers

12am/12pm are ambiguous and should be avoided when possible. Try asking people what time 12pm means and you'll see that some will struggle and some will get it wrong, especially if they're from a place that uses a 24 hour clo

You're describing a problem already solved by MISRA C, etc., for which there are static analysis tools to allow you to ensure programmatically that you're conforming to the standard.

It's the same for the liar paradox: 'The sentence below is true The sentence above is a lie' Well no, it just means one is wrong. Though I imagine the philosophic roots had more nuance than the sci-fi that came from it.

To drag this conversation into further despair; an airshow pilot in the UK is currently being charged for manslaughter for when he, allegedly, negligently performed a risky manoeuvre and survived a crash that killed 11 people.

If I needed something from someone or a group at work and I told them to 'get their act together' and do it, I don't think I'd get what I want. And they're paid to work with me. People don't talk like this in r

I'm not saying asking for a different clipboard situation is unreasonable, I'm saying the phrasing is rude. Telling someone or someones to get their act together is saying they're incompetent or ineffective. It's needles
