I don't think this logic applies to steamships. Larger vessels travel faster and provide an economies-of-scale effect that drastically reduces operating cost per unit of freight. The initial investment is large but in the long run it m

If he were really honest, I think he would say that the innovative ideas come from the trusted core in-crowd, while everyone else is interchangeable. Amazon has a tough culture that chews people up and spits them out. I frequently hear from

Exactly. "No one wants to write their own feature detection code" is the whole point of jQuery.

If you did live in a city, and you were seeking your first job as a developer today, you could expect your first job to pay at least double that, with just a bachelor's in CS. I live in Seattle and entry-level SDE jobs here typically p

Do nothing jobs like HR pay six figures Not to fresh college graduates, they don't. Six figures in HR is seniority pay. The vast majority of entry-level office jobs available today pay very poorly compared to junior SDE. An entry-lev

based on a consultants suggestion No top management decision is ever based on a consultant's suggestion; it's the other way around. The consultant's job is to provide the appearance of neutral outside expertise to justify w

Marcora believes that this limit is probably never truly reached—that fatigue is simply a balance between effort and motivation, and that the decision to stop is a conscious choice rather than a mechanical failure Perhaps, mechanical fail

So? Why are people so fixated on insulin? Because insulin regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats by promoting the absorption of glucose from the blood to skeletal muscles and fat tissue and by causing fat to be stored rather

It's arguing that poor palatability may have been confused for high satiety. Have you ever eaten a boiled potato with nothing else on it? It tastes terrible. After a couple of bites, you don't want any more. That is not the same t

Perhaps, but it can be both. The two concepts aren't mutually exclusive.

I have been learning Erlang because I like the practices it encourages, but Elixir seems like Erlang with more modern syntax and especially better string handling. I think I will give it a try.

Just an anecdote, but I literally never watch video news online. I can consume information from text many times as fast, so watching a video just feels like slow motion. I doubt I'm alone in this.

Just take the good ol' classical example of quicksort in Haskell or fibonacci in Lisp. Hell, recursive quicksort and mergesort are easier to teach and remember than the iterative versions even in C and Java . They're divide-and

Exactly. Fat has a lot of calories but it doesn't produce an insulin response and isn't digested nearly as quickly as carbohydrates, so it keeps you satiated. A dose of fat early in the morning will help keep you from feeling hung

Does Rust have anything like a usable GUI toolkit yet to support client-side native app development?

This is exactly what the whole row over the Chinese government "banning puns" was about. The Daily Show did a pretty funny segment on it[1] but they sort of missed the point because something was lost in translation. The ban on pu

Exactly. Recurring support commitment = recurring payment. And it should be highly profitable for you.

Last time I ate at a restaurant that had a Freestyle machine, the thing was stuck in an error state and everyone had to stand around and wait for the cashier to go reboot it before they could fill the soda cups they had purchased. Disaster.

If human rights have failed then that leaves only two main sources of authority: raw power (in the military and economic senses) and religion. Religion is just another case of authority. It's not substantively different. The raw pow

A Registry is a collection of objects or classes that need to be globally accessible. This is a variation on the "Singleton Pattern" and IMO it is an antipattern. It tightly couples your classes to a "global state" cla

For me the point of OOP is that it isn’t a paradigm like procedural, logic or functional programming. Instead, OOP says “for every problem you should design your own paradigm”. In other words, the OO paradigm really is: Programming is Mode

It is mainstream in certain domains. At my work we use a visual programming tool (an Eclipse plugin) for mapping data elements between one format to another. So if we have a customer who sends us something like a CSV file that they want us

The way I read it, Google didn't say they were blocking IP addresses from Spain, so users in Spain will still be able to access news.google.com, the change is that Google is forced to no longer aggregate news content from Spanish media

Lenovo ThinkPad T440 running Windows 7 (not by choice, standard issue for my work). I just launched it and timed it at 28 seconds. Then I closed it and launched it again and it took 3 seconds, so I assume there's some sort of caching g

I can confirm that I don't use Atom because of the overhead of the browser engine. It takes about 30 seconds to launch, and it hangs frequently, which to me is unacceptable for a program that edits plain text files.

Well since you mention Basecamp, that is the original Ruby on Rails app. Rails was factored out from the Basecamp codebase for reuse on other projects. So if you want to make an app "like Basecamp" then you probably want to use Ra

I'd love to see this in Clojure. What do you mean by that? Can't you just parse XML into a Clojure map, transform it in Clojure, and then emit the result as XML again? Using this: https://github.com/clojure/

Yep, the Chinese stock market is garbage and interest rates on savings accounts are too low, so real estate is the default savings/investment vehicle for wealthy Chinese. Policy measures could change that pretty quickly. But the policy
