the "MBA Playbook". You would think those MBA courses that instruct on how to do this would also include the downside. Maybe they do and people make the moral choice not to care as they plan on being long gone before the failures?

Snippets have become so useless I use a plugin to remove them. What is ridiculous is, when, say, Stack Overflow has a good answer, it is a few lines down or on the next page in the search results, but some page-mill SEO site is in snippets

I don't think chess is the best example for 'minigames'. You play a lot of mini games when learning, but the pros are very focussed on the larger strategy. The mini games are executed below their main attention. I think the

'schema' is more a schema enhanced by python than just a checker. It can convert types, set defaults so after 'Box' I can simple access config with a.b.c. It may be subtle but it is much more powerful than it looks. Ther

OK, it's 100% likely I saw it, just so rarely I can't remember. Testing. Over that long time I have used many test frameworks. My normal workflow is to try and exercise all the code I write as I go. On the other hand I am 100% ped

That is my point. I don't have any tools to prevent it from happening. I just don't do it when I write the code. If I have and my code is tested it comes up very quickly. Us older people tend to keep the whole workflow as simple a

I think the less code the better is the aim but it is harder. This does not mean grab some massive framework, like Django, where you can write 10 lines and you have a whole application. It means taking a the time and care to keep things as

In the 15 years I have been developing in python (and C++ at the same time, daily), I can't remember a single bug I ever had on account of an incorrect type. I do like the := to save a few lines here and there. 3.10 does seem to run fa

Not at all. The article is saying, with a 'shortfall' of evidence, he thinks we should consider both possible sources, man made and from the wild. That is perfectly reasonable to me. We don't have enough information and it&#x

While this may be true, it takes more than just engineering skill for this to work in a predictable manner. Often an engineering interviewer takes their ego into the process and it becomes a competitive game or an opportunity to show how sm

This is the fundamental concept of filtering out bad research by peer review. Work is reviewed by people who know the field well enough to understand a paper. Ideally we have this by code review, which should, theoretically, filter out the

This is even worse when average people strike it lucky and get on a successful project and get promoted. This leads to boundless bullshit and buzzword soup.

It is interesting that, in a modern machine shop, these are skilled roles. Good millwrights are worth their weight in gold. A CNC machinist has to have a huge range of skills, from understanding tolerances to programming (CAD, toolpaths, gc

If coolprop is still available, I doubt adding CAD on top of it would make it a target for a takedown. But, maybe so, as this does help manufacture. This said, being able to make a good blade on a CNC mill is, IMHO, only a very very small p
