Eh? It's a job that people go to work to do and work at all day long. Nobody, I hope, is completely defined by their work, but marketing person in a career, often titled with something dreadful but marketing-specific such as 'ma

There are SOME successful visual programming environments, though not in the mainstream programs-for-PCs-and-servers arena. Firstly, simulation of dynamic systems in systems such as Simulink (Matlab) and Xcos. Secondly, PLCs are frequently

Robinson is directly proposing global-level institutions of government, that prioritise long-term planning. Interpreting that as crippled economies and totalitarianism is all you.

There are other professions that make money. But it's possible to get educated in all kinds of fields where either there isn't much demand for work, or the work intrinsically breeds a few stars and others in the field get nothing.

There are a whole lot of letters after B. The article seems to be trying to fight the claim that non-top-performers are broken and damaging, "hopeless B players to be culled". You can't do much for people who just can't

Mainly because manual is sometimes confused with the masculine, but I also like that simply the direction of the most-commonly dominant hand is linked in our language with skilfulness. My basic proposition is that our devices make no use wh

It's hard to agree or disagree without the chance to play with the physical object, but I would place my bets on manual dexterity (as in manus , the hand) overcoming any obstacles, if there's an overall benefit to usability. Peop

Decelerating in space is the same as accelerating, you just face the other way.

That didn't happen with Python 3. It's here, it works, the important libraries work. Sure, some projects are held back by their dependencies, some people have curmudgeonly objections, and quite a few people just lean on half-remem

Sorry amigo, I gotta get to work. Here's my code I wrote last night, hope it makes sense: http://pastebin.com/79rmjmKr Typical result: 494644 results in rooms less than 10: 449838 had 10 rooms (90.9%), 44806 had 100 ro

You're wrong. Not being mean, you've just arrived at the wrong numerical answer to the maths question. (Let's leave aside mentions of doom and stick to the rooms: according to the article no-one has quite nailed down yet whet

It's probably not worth worrying about the fate of humanity till you've figured out the rooms example. Since you're on this site I'm sure you can trivially knock up a script to simulate what happens. Or just draw the pro

Parent poster understood that, and suggests the incorrect usage is becoming standard, as people apply a simplified form of the rule. In the same way, one might expect "whose" to be phased out in favour of an incorrect "who&#x

Hmm, I wonder if that's why clean desk policies are popular (or rather, unpopular but present) in many companies. It does look neater, and it's the only enforceable equilibrium given the variety of approaches people take to tidine

In my very limited understanding, hard real time systems collect memory in a fashion _more_ like this than previously. The idea is to use a ticky-tocky garbage collection system that always takes a certain amount of time ('tick')

The implication from the juxtaposed stories in the article seems to be that allowing criminals to gentrify themselves is a better outcome than rigorously policing them. But just because the mafiosi had happier outcomes than the crack dealer

Possibly. There's a company near me (I see the liveried van trundling around) trading as Apple Property Maintenance. (I'm amazed The Beatles let them get away with it).

I'm not saying you're wrong but it seems incredibly difficult. The problem is, how do you choose who to fund to go and do maths, how on earth you'd track their progress if any, and how do you achieve a return on your investme

How relevant is the issue in practice though? It doesn't seem too likely that people are going to want to provide commercial forks of the whole project including the inux kernel. And it's pretty likely they could package their cha

I read an interviewer with a restauranteur who stated the recieved wisdom was that the revenues from running a restaurant should be split around 30% ingredients, 30% overheads, 30% staff and 10% profit.

For most of us, most of the time, having the central site aware of all our pseudonyms wouldn't be a problem. Even if they divulged your identity upon lawful (court order) request. Even if they consistently targeted advertising at you,

Not security in the sense of tracking people with malign intent, but security of the identity system against attacks and fraud. It's hard to see how a decently-implemented electronic ID wouldn't at first seem to be significantly

Very interesting, but does it generalise? People like to remain connected to their local languages once they've emigrated; they have shared tastes in thing such as food that help advertisiers to target the publications; and the shared

Weird, I found the concept so obvious I didn't notice the lack of a definition. An 'onramp' is a wooly concept because so many things could constitute one. A killer use case, a flagship company using the tech and shouting abo

FYI the normal spelling of that word is 'gibberish'. Seems odd that that site would let an article through with a repeated spelling error, but it's an easy one to make.

It's very long but written in a light, readable style. What I took away from it was the point late-on about, if we had a PageRank-type system for establishing trust in issues that drive policy (such as climate change), then it would sh

I'm not interested in what IKEA should have done, according to their own interests, but in what they should be allowed to do. Someone ought to be perfectly entitled to run a site on a commercial basis, that discusses Ikea's prod

It's not crap, it's just a continuum. There are already chatbots that 'pass' sufficiently well to keep lonely people sending them salacious text messages. And presumably when the day comes that the robots are marching on
