“Nokia used an active-objects based version of C++ which used little memory and could get good performance out of the tiny ARM chips of the day but was very hard to program for.” I don’t think C++ was the problem there. The tooling was terr

That’s mainly because creating and submitting videos is hard with current tools.

I doubt people will record 15 minute videos to report an issue. From my experience people are much better at recording a relevant video vs. describing the issue in our text.

My parents and grandparents experienced life from the 1920s to 1950s in Europe. Things were much worse then and much crazier. Not saying we shouldn’t improve or that we should go back to the “good old days”. But in western countries life ha

Come to the US and you will not be treated as customer but as a sucker.

Why would you do that?

I think the problem is the term "minimum payment". A lot of people don't seem to understand that this is a basically arbitrary number. They will make them same mistake without autopay.

A good start would be if the medical industry in the US were run like normal businesses with transparent and consistent pricing. Right now nobody can predict how much something cost because insurances, hospitals, drug companies and a lot of

That’s my point. Any method will get corrupted by bad players. My comment was on a lot of agile environments that have turned into micromanagement machines that discourage any kind of long term thinking. If you only look to the next scrum y

After working in too many badly run "agile" environments I really want waterfall to come back. There at least you know where you want to be in a year and how different workstreams fit together. Of course you have to iterate on the

While they are at it they should also go after the credit card companies. They have managed to extract a 2-3% tax on most retail transactions. There is really no reason why the fees should be that high in the age of electronic transactions.

Agreed. I am happy fully remote but I am also happy when I meet my coworkers in person from time to time. I wouldn’t mind going to the office maybe once a week and I think it would be beneficial.

Be careful. You may end up with universities where only millionaires take classes. The universities would like this because of money and the millionaires would like it because the proles would keep out of well paid careers. We would be back

I am sure it will be very thin…. I still remember when everybody suddenly added “COM” or “NET” to product and company names during the .COM bubble. Same with “AI” today. Good PR but ultimately meaningless.

Just looked at the examples. To me every one of them makes the original code less readable. I would also encourage people to not get used to this style because now you are stuck on some weird JS style and will have trouble reading code in o

How about the insurers and providers working together on reasonable billing and not make patients pay random charges over which they had no control and information about cost?
