This is not FOSS specific. In companies you can observe the same tension between the efficiency of unity and the flexibility of diversity.

Axiom are just taken but over time we picked the most useful ones. This is why they map well to the physical world. The baffling thing is how few and simple axioms we need for them to be useful.

What exactly are you supposed to figure out in the interview? The skill level of the interviewee? A list of skills they have? Suitability of their skills? Cultural fit? Intellect? Knowledge? Compress it to 3-5 points. Now pick some arbitrar

I can derive two very different strategies from this. Either "generalize and avoid showing any reason to reject you" or alternatively "specialize and provide a reason too good to reject you". Surely, it depends on the si

You could understand it as growing up. Only in your twens, your prefrontal cortex fully develops and can overrule the flight response of the amygdala. Most teens are thus dominated by their emotions like fear (or anger).

What I meant by "the same effect" is that division by zero or by a small number can both result in Inf. You are correct that it is possible in general. However, in this specific project, the decision was to shut down the device fo

If the syntax is the primary problem, there is Meson (reduced Python) and XMake (Lua). I wonder why CMake cannot embed an alternative language? You could have CMakeLists.lua files modify the same targets and properties using Lua.

An example, I'm unable to resolve so far: ISO 26262 includes the requirement to prevent “implausible values, execution errors, division by zero, and errors in data flow and control flow” (8.4.4). I'm confident the division by zero

I'm the software architect in a automotive project with ten teams. We use Confluence to write ADRs. We only use this process for changes which affect multiple teams. Pro: Wysiwyg is great for editing it live in meetings, plugins like G

I would agree that ADRs are not really necessary if you work alone. Maybe not even within a team if it stable over a long time. Where ADRs are helpful is when many teams cooperate and if people come and go. The reviews happen implicitly bec

I don't distinguish between the feedback gathering and the decision record. I collect feedback by integrating it into an ADR draft. Once the decision is made, the ADR is frozen and by construction includes the design documentation.

Might also give the guests a slight tendency to get away from each other so they tend to spread all over the maze. That might look nicer to the player. Not too strong though otherwise every guest stays in their own dead end.

Another issue in big companies: There are obvious inefficiencies as autonomous teams do redundant work. Some things should be centralized (eg payroll) but others not (eg design). Where to draw the line? For example, should autonomous teams
