I think you could measure it. You could estimate or determine the percentage of marriages that end in divorce every year. You could to control for other factors such as recessions and see if the percentage of divorces is greater after 2009&

More proof that condos exist in Texas. The HOA payment seems a little high, but everything is bigger in Texas.

This exists. It's usually called a condo or a townhome. I'm sure they exist in Texas too. You'll find them in more urban areas. They aren't as popular during a pandemic, but they usually cost less than a house, and if th

I think you could learn how bit-shifting and bitwise operators work in an afternoon or two. The concepts aren't very difficult, but a lot of people don't know them, because they haven't take a Computer Architecture class or t

I don't think HR is really that involved in the hiring process. They certainly aren't at my company. They'll read the job posting and make sure that there isn't anything illegal in it, but then that's it. It's

Do you pay the stamp duty tax once when you buy the home. Or do you pay it annually? If you pay it once when you buy the home, there is something similar, called a transfer tax. This is set by the local government(city or county). I think m

Yes, there are a lot of dysfunctional organizations out there. That's a strategy that might yield short term financial success and entertainment value, but it's probably not helping out the organization.

I used to think that, but really the monthly income is the harder and more important hurdle. It's not how much you put down, it's how much you can finance.

Well, that's pretty easy to do. 1. Get a job on a social media site. 2. Join the bot detection team. 3. Create algorithms that measure if a user is a bot. 4. Create daily reports on the number of bots detected.

It's important that the 258 were uniformly drawn from the population of software engineers in the UK. It's not important whether the sun came out in the last two weeks or not, unless we were trying to measure the weather affecting

We are sampling a Bernoulli distribution for measuring burn out. A software developer could be burnt out/ not burnt out. The variance of a Bernoulli distribution is P(1-P), which is (.83)(.17), since 83% of the respondents answered tha

If we use a 95% confidence interval and we have a sample size of 258 then the margin of error is around 4.5%. If the sample size is 130, then the margin of error will be around 6.5%. That's a little high, but probably still good enough

Sure, Google started as a Search Engine, but it's monetization strategy has always been to serve ads. According to Wikipedia it first released Google AdWords in 2000. It became a public company in 2004.

I would think so. I don't work on parsers and grammar day to day, so I might not be the best person to ask about this. I am interested in the subject though. I just don't get to work on this in my current day job.

The input changing shouldn't matter. Maybe you could see a performance issue if you had to parse a really large file/files. The issue would be if the grammar to what you are parsing changes. If that changes, then no parser will wo

I also hate hangs. If you are working with the JVM you can send it a signal kill -3 [pid] which can give you a thread dump. That's a QUIT signal if you are curious. I once found a stuck HTTP request when I did this, so I fixed the issu

It depends on the person. I think I'd rather go windsurfing in my 20s then try to do it in my 60s when my health is not as good. I probably won't remember posting it on Instagram, but I will remember going wind surfing.

I think developers should test their own code. They should write unittests, they should have integration tests, and running these test suites should be automated. If you are planning on keeping the code base around for a while and you are g
