I've heard it said that there are two kinds of Software Engineers when it comes to Factorio. There's one category who say "this is just like work, but I'm not getting paid to do it; why would I do this?" Then there&

Sorry you received unhelpful sass from other commenters. It stands for "Objective and Key Result" - it's a common "business-speak" initialism that basically translates to "a measurable, data-driven goal".

Oh! It was not clear to me at first that this was non-read-only, though in hindsight I should have concluded as much from the phrase "see what the others are looking at and and [sic, whoops!] what changes they propose in real-time&quot

Impressive stuff - especially for a 17-year-old working in their spare time! Best of luck, not that it looks like you'll need it!

This was an impressively-"Garden Path" title, given the noun/verb ambiguity of "correct" and the modifier(?)/verb ambiguity of "measuring" :)

I am fortunate enough to not know why you're wrong (having only ever used Python for my own personal projects); but I've seen enough people claim that (in a corporate setting) you are, to be confident that they're right.

Fascinating. My first response to your opening paragraph was horror - how on Earth could you hope to really internalize and learn from a textbook without taking notes on it? - before realizing that you were (mostly) referring to fiction or

Absolutism like this hurts adoption of otherwise-useful tools. Given the choice between a tool which simply cannot play DRM-protected content, and a tool which can, _ceteris paribus_ most consumers will prefer the former. If you believe the

To extend the previous commenter's simile - a man is a _product_ of his genetic code, but is also affected by environment. Bringing it back to the point at hand - yes, you are right that people can make bad code with good tools, but th

Interesting to note that almost all of these are to do with tooling _around_ the codebase, not the contents _of_ the codebase!

That's a great answer, thank you! Yeah, "someone non-consensually has low-accuracy information on me" is experientially different than "someone is using (more-accurate) information on me to serve me ads". The former

Right, yes, I can absolutely see their point. My point in return, to be explicit, was that "well-trained model" is a deceptively simple-sounding phrase which makes it sound like such a thing is commonplace, extant, or easy to iden

Amen. Event-driven architecture makes it easier to bury your head in the sand, and harder to implement an actually-working feature.

Whether or not therapy would help with _this particular_ problem (I happen to disagree with you, but that's neither here nor there), it remains one of the most beneficial and healthy things that a human can do for themself.
