Yes, very much so. I need a PO who can answer that question, and I judge the competence of a PO based on their ability to do so. I don't care about the requirements or feature list you drew up until you can explain to me what problem y

Which is why REST APIs should just accept that the only two error codes that matter are 400 Your Fault and 500 My Fault. Too much ambiguity when you try to shoehorn meaning into responses like 401 and 404.

Honestly, they can charge quite a bit more than the amortized cost. You can't hire 10% more admins if you only have one. And there's substantial training and cognitive cost to manage a more heterogeneous network if your staff only

The dish is nothing but aluminum sheeting with holes in it. The vast majority of the cost and complexity are in the instrument cluster and the towers. There's not much of value left to repair at this point. As for replacing cables, any

Perhaps "purpose-first programming education " would be a better way to phrase it. Which, yes, is incredibly valuable. I recently adapted my learning process from tutorials to taking a problem I already know how to solve with a d

In 50 years or 100 years, there might be a launch loop. There will never be a launch centrifuge, not in 50 or 100 or 1000. Fluid dynamics simply don't allow objects to move that fast at ground level. 0.000000000001 > 0

Everyone has their own threat model, but I'm more comfortable with Google knowing when my light switch is on than I am with their outage or service deprecation preventing me from turning it off.

I'm curious how well the new Raspberry Pi 400 could be adapted as an effective screen-reader–optimized portable computer. No need to waste weight and battery power on the display.

Those aren't legs, they're guy wires. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launch_loop I said the physics works. The engineering is a totally different question.

"Stone" is a particularly fun one. It's akin to measuring length in "pieces of string".

I'm increasingly convinced that this is the way forward. Having a key verifiably tied to you as an individual goes a long way to enabling a broad range of governmental services. Digital voting, for one thing, but also no more need to r

Rarely am I the one to stand up for Google, but the DMCA is such a garbage law that they have no choice. They don't have the legal ability to call bullshit on the takedown. It's the video creator's job under the DMCA to prove

I've had far more experience with both American and Canadian health care systems than I'd like. The top-tier care in the US is indeed excellent for those who can afford it. Care in Canada is occasionally slow, often overcrowded, a

This is the part that blew my mind. For simple functions ("how do I read from a buffer again?"), the code example is more useful than any number of paragraphs of description, especially because its correctness is enforced by the c

Wow, what a load of tripe. The article fails to articulate the reasons why one might use Vim or why one might prefer a visual IDE. You're welcome to disagree with my choices, but an attempt to engage with them or even explain your re
