The majority of people will indeed prefer powered bicycle and scooters if available. There are some countries and cities where there many people using bikes for their daily commute. The scooters are too small and underpowered for riding o

Ok, I understand that there is a lot of benefits to electric scooters. They are fun, convenient, and allow to navigate quickly, and great for the environment, or at least better than cars. Why not driving regular bicycles? Obesity is a gro

Yes, the size of the data matters, and linear search may be the right choice for many use cases and may outperform more advanced data structures. You learn it on the job as it is not a topic usually studied in universities. But I don't

I agree that "must" is too strict. If I replace linear search with binary search, or hashmap/hashset lookup I don't need to write a benchmark to prove it improves performance. There is math, logic, Big O analysis that al

Fasting has been known for a very long time, and people often practiced it for religious reasons. Intermittent Fasting is actually a Fad, and don't expect any magical from it. Some people simply don't eat breakfast, but they don&

The code doesn't matter to the end user. Sure. You can say that about any industry. Engines don't matter as long as you can get from point A to point B and gas is cheap, which it isn't anymore. Healthcare norms don't ma

You right, but I would say we do know how artificial NN work, because we are able to construct them, but we don't actually know why they work ;)

I agree that these problems are rare, but they do come up, at least they did in my experience. As you alluded general programming and software design is not the same as knowing how a particular framework works. The former is much more valua

I wrote a custom HashMap for Java, used BFS and DBS on graphs, wrote a top down custom parser, custom string searching algorithms to solve real business problems. I would rather work with someone who knows how neural networks really work ra

I am a developer in a big company that acts as SMSC. We work with hundreds of operators around the world. The explanation in the article is way better that all internal documentation combined we have in the company. I wrote algorithms to co
