I am sorry but I don't quite agree with you. In science, there is clear delineation between things we know to be true (laws), things that appear to be true based on our current knowledge (theories) and things that may or may not be tru

Doesn't work for me. What does work is going to a store with a full stomach, and never buying junk in the first place.

Well, education researchers are trying to communicate that knowledge is never "transferred". IIRC (I don't recall where I read about this), there are two problems: 1. "transfer" gives the impression that a person ca

Neither is skiing or ski jumping, but it is limited in the sense of exposure. I bet most people would not be able to name the best ski jumper in 1995, but a lot of people in my country would.

IANAL and I don't know about other countries, but in EU (definitely the country I live in and am pretty sure it goes for the rest as well) any non-compete agreement after two years is void by law. You are required to hold confidential

I think this is a good point. But just as we see in the real world the execution of the architect's solution is often sub par, so the "debugging" involves both architectural specs as well as builder's execution. I think

Well, if fetchBar requires fetchFoo to complete successfully, you still somehow have to handle it. That said, there are libraries out there that implement Result as generic type and it's fine working with them, as well. I don't se

return nil would be clearer, I think. Seems like it's the same but would color differently in my editor.

I mean, isn't the problem you are mentioning because of the functionality that is assuming too much? In the sense of functions that are behemots of assumptions? It's actually easier if those functions are broken down into smaller

What I think they will do is just prevent you from registering? You want to register? Disable the flag. The same as with the "do not accept". If you do not, they will nag you endlessly until you finally do allow the cookies. I mea

Indeed, I may have misread the GP comment, understanding that it stated that C-14 appeared because of the nuclear tests. They may have meant the addition. I did try to correct my mistake by answering my own question...

Hmm, is the argument that it's a generational problem? Maybe it is, but I find it strange that nobody seems to care that visiting a page downloads 100s of MBs of packages that clogs the browser. Or, that latencies in backend replies ca

Well, not OP, but there's definite degradation in software quality and attention to detail. Some is due to Scrum. It's actually not the fault of the methodology but that it's been half implemented by companies that did waterf

Answering my own question, after rereading TFA. It's more because the C-14 was doubled and not because C-14 did not exist before.

Sorry, say what? C-14 comes from exposure to radiation also from the sun. Dating by it would make no sense in recent history because it would be too hard. Am I missing something?

I think business relationship is not that dissimilar to other relationships. I think you should voice your concerns, while still letting the manager know that you are open to disagree and still commit. Only when your disagreement becomes to

Nice video, thanks for sharing. And just to clarify to GP, the original dust was not in the same plane and the video explains why it ends up in the same plane.

Well, it helps if you have retrospectives, though I see them rarely done properly. What kind of works is tracking similar efforts (in the same code base) and measuring how long they take. While every task is different, there are usually a s

I disagree. There is no qualifier in intelligence that would require the person to be able to transfer it to another person. In fact, I think the IQ as a metric is fundamentally flawed. IIRC it rose from detecting learning disabilities, lik
