If you view SCRUM as a rigid framework, you've already surrendered and completely missed the point of agile in general. Just because something was formulated once, does not mean it's not evolving and not improving with learning an

SCRUM is a great starting point for a team with dependable and medium to high performing members. It's important to remember that it is not a rigid framework, it is a starting point and a process to iterative improve the process. At so

A serial auto increment bigint is not globally unique. A traditional uuid, is not sequential. This particular uuid are both globally unique and increasing and can be used for primary key. It simplifies certain schemas and architectures.

I think GP means less management in the sense that you give them guidelines and goals, and then let them do their thing. Of course you should remove impediments and in general make it such that they are distracted less. But less performing

I think part of the issue is also the complete lack of thrust. If you state that a candidate must know git, and the candidate say they do know git for basic committing, branching, merging ect, then fine - let's move on. I've learn

That is quite normal in Denmark as well. Part of the reason is that the bank cannot approve of the deal, if you have not sold your old house. So either you sell your house and move into a rented apartment, or you commit to buy a house if yo

As more and more people buy EVs, it's not uncommon that the charging infrastructure is not expanding at the same rate. Many EV owners I know, have all experienced to wait in a line for 15 min charge on a trip. Those that have had a Tes

If you model your particular computations and storage after FP, obvious that is closer. My guess is, that is with all likelihood a choice made for performance reasons when computers was far less powerful than they are today. The rest might

Of course they are not the same. But why does it matter? With floating point you must always be conscious of precision errors and they can lead to catastrophic compounding errors vs with integer you have to decide how to handle rounding and

In that case, I'd strongly advise anyone doing the same, to have enough fuel to cover 800km and some. If that means you have to lug 80L in jerry cans, so be it, because in such situations you cannot assume that those gas stations even

Why would it have to be floating point to work? For ("physical") money there always is a finite smallest part, so integer math works fine. For time, if you go nuts and store Planck time a 256 bit integer is enough to store almost

They know (I hope), but it is completely irrelevant for the vast majority of work they do. And if it becomes relevant with the use of profiling, they can dive down in the details.

And 99.999% of all SDE do not need to implement these algorithms. Or ever understand them. And those that do, should seek that knowledge of their specific circumstance when the need arises.

And even if they manage to pull it off, they ought to have data showing that they, in particular, can remove lidar sensor without losing fidelity, simply because we know that lidar is what gives reliable range information.

If we rely on solar, we need a massive overcapacity. In large parts of the world the output of a solar panel is 50% in the winter compared to the summer, and in addition, we use significantly more power during the winter. And that will be e

A fusion reactor is the long term game. Sure we could use that money to add more capacity to the grid, but what we need is to take fossil fuels offline and 200 GW would barely make a dent in the production from coal if the consumption conti

Not all data entries in every dataset is distinct, far from it. It seems to me, that you are trying to argue that big O is not useful, because you believe that an assumption of constant time comparison cannot be done. But I disagree, once w

You're right. I missed that crucial word, and the argument still stands, as long as you have an upper bound of the length of the strings, you can do comparisons in constant time.

The complexity of sorting is done in comparisons. If your system can compare in constant time the complexity is indeed n*log n - if your strings are limited in length there is a constant time upper limit and the complexity holds. Saying tha
