Reddit has been super biased for at least 8 years, that is not a surprise.

I'm doubtful of UBI, at least without some technological breakthrough like AGI, however my concerns of people abusing this would certainly go away if it applies across the board for everybody.

I think there needs to be at least an attempt at monitoring people for some time and making sure they are not spending the money on something that will make their situation even worse. If they did this, then in theory you could have a reall

I'm not convinced. One of the biggest factors these kinds of programs ignore is the ability for people to circumvent the rules for free money. It assumes that the right people will be targeted for the help, when in reality it will attr

This is where I want AI the most in UI dev. I've seen some apps for this, but I haven't seen one that is a fully automated AI that compares snapshots in realtime while it clicks around and checks for behavior as well. A big gap in

Interesting thoughts but I feel it is the wrong level of analysis. Maybe we will reach some sci-fi utopia but personally I see war as a kind of law of nature. Think about a petri dish and how bacteria grow on it until they saturate the enti

Assuming you understand the business at a high level, and who the customer is more or less, you can ask management and leadership about the priorities in regards to what features are more important and why. The objective would be to align y

I would agree if alcohol and tobacco weren't also legal and something young people can easily get access to. Additionally, legal or not, the product is always there, it's just a matter of whether it's regulated and relatively

Exactly, I think we should promote both solar and nuclear, and when energy is so cheap, everyone will naturally switch to using electricity for everything from heating to driving.

Haskell (and some other pure FP langs) produces a lot of code that is basically technical poetry, at the cost of performance. just look at the fib example: >> fib = 1 : 1 : [a + b | (a, b) <- zip fib (tail fib)]

Programming itself is the art of abstracting. Functions are by definition abstractions over a set of instructions. The question is which domain is used for the abstractions as you add more and more functions. When there are bad abstractions

There is the term "narrow AI" which is usually used for specialized systems like visual detection, etc., and I personally think that what we still have is narrow AI but we now have it for language and recently for video. I also th

I feel the word "impact" is used to justify bending the role of engineering. It's like going to a restaurant and instead of ordering from the menu you ask for "something that will satisfy me and is worth my money"..

I agree, and would add that agile is bad because it's used to iterate along the product vertical, so first create an MVP, then add features. Instead it could be used to iterate from a technical standpoint, first adding the helper funct

Wouldn't it be a body transplant? From first person perspective you would remain with your head and experience a new body (i assume ... but i mean it would be crazy to all of a sudden see yourself with a new face).

What I'm pointing at is the focus on the ratio between men and women. The article isn't just talking about how women should exercise more, it's explicitly pointing out that there is a gap between men and women and that someho

Maybe a factor of why this happens is the expectation for senior engineers and higher to do less hands-on work and more management and planning work, which leads to an overall degradation of technical skills because engineers don't spe

Lol true and it got me thinking maybe AGI is what will finally align humanity together, whether its because it smart enough to fix the problem or dangerous enough it will require everyone's cooperation to stop it.

I wish I could do development for 90% of the day. It seems the more experience you get in the software industry the more you are pushed away from just coding. It's a bizarre underestimation of software engineering.. In other words, you

If doing scrum, you don't do the long term estimating. You have goals but they're not slotted into a timeline, instead they are iterated on sprint by sprint until it's done. You can do projections but even those have to be ta
