When you say that any certification process (for a non-trivial field) necessarily becomes a sampling process, it is implied that this is already happening, i.e., there must be already a sampling process going on in the current universities.

One thing I always think about is to completely separate the "educational" institutes from the "certificate emitting" ones. Currently, it is the university's job to not only educate, but also to prove the student wa

Absolutely. There are only benefits in acquiring the support from the local population, specially when people feel "neglected" by their current official government. This happens a lot in Brazilian poorest locations, where drug dea

While I agree that no religion can answer these questions convincingly, they just don't have to. That's what faith is all about. The answers provided by religions are intended to be "believed" and followed without much q

Seems cool. I just don't understand why most HR sites do not accept "online resume" as an option. I just want to provide a URL to my online resume instead of uploading a PDF file. Specially in the case of a website focused on

In Brazil we have the exact opposite "loud" culture. It seems like people try to make as much noise as they can in an effort to get attention. Really annoying. Did this bus story happen in Japan or Finland?

I can add that in Brazil, there is a significant amount of people who can't even Google, however are active on Facebook and WhatsApp.

I like the article. It is well written and very informative. However, one could just omit the word "Not" in the title, becoming "Why Go Is Good", and it would still be a valid article. In short, the author just points ou

This is just how the system works: it is a pyramid, and people who happen to be on top earn more, despite any value he or she can bring to the table. There is of course some relation between value and position in this pyramid (particularly

Maybe because you are considering asians in a foreign country? Surely most managers in China are Chinese. I would not expect to see a completely even ethnic distribution in high positions in any country.

Fully agree! Different people at different moments in their lives have different time requirements. There is no way to make everyone happy with one single standard -- freedom of choice is the best choice here.

By better choices you mean better languages or other methods of achieving the same flexibility without the complexity of a language like JS? Can you reply with examples? I am interested in alternatives to JS and LUA.

It is sexist in the sense that it is a motivation mechanism completely biased towards men. However, there is no such thing as discrimination going on. These girls applied for the job and get paid for it. It's not like they are being

I really spent like 8~ years in Tibia. Did everything, in and out of the game. The PvP system was great (before crazily automated bots eventually emerged). My first C program was actually a keylogger to hack Tibia passwords, and my first PH

It seems funny but smart at the same time. I wanna know more about the wind resistance, however. I realize this might not be the design goal, but how does it compare with Senz, for example?

I respect your point of view, but I don't want to believe that people should feel "awarded" to have a job. This might be how it always worked and how it still works for the majority, but it is, for me, a defect of the economi

I like questions that bootstrap productive discussions. Showing code might work, but asking to write code is a bad idea. Even simple code can become a nightmare to write if the person is uncomfortable due to the natural pressure that arises

Thanks for the reply. I suppose this changes things regarding the compiler code, but it is still an external tool parsing and executing comments. There should be a better way of doing this.

I also do not agree with that. This is bad for so many reasons. First, to the compiler code, comments should be discarded as soon as possible (often in the lexer). To the programmers, comments should never execute anything (this is just int
