I propose that from now on we call freewares "open binaries".

I sometimes plug my phone to a screen with a keyboard. It is not as good as a "real" computer but most everyday thing can be done (sending mails, browsing the web, editing spreadsheets). I never tried programming on it but I can i

> The syntax is definitely harder to grasp Yes it is. I believe the reason is that this is all valid python while typescript is not valid javascript. Also, python's type annotations are available at runtime (eg. for introspection) w

It does! You can specify a protocol like this: class IntIndexable(Protocol[T]): def __getitem__(self, index: int, /) -> T: ... (Edit: formatting)

Are you saying, essentially, that if we split the "I" and the "O" in "IO", then ignore the the "O" in the way described in the article, the resulting program would be "safe-enough" ?

So an answer to the prisoner's dilemma would be a shared belief in doing good? Interesting.

OK, I'll give an example. Every so often I encounter some dev that is not familiar with SQL. So instead of writing a single SQL and relatively "simple" SQL request that does the job db-side (say with a few joins and coalesce

If the problem can be solved efficiently with simple, write simple code by all means. Heck, if it can be solved with a spreadsheet, please use a spreadsheet. Even your boss can read it. But, at some point, spreadsheets crumble and become un

Sure, replace functional/generics/static typing with your poison of choice. Just remember that, at some point, the "dumbass" thing was pushing sticks into clay tablets. Functional programming may not be the future. But d

I don't know. On the one hand, this stance seems common sense: why overcomplicate things? Let's just do what's commonly understood and move on. On the other hand, writing code that the most junior in your team can understand

Does Japan have a strong tipping culture ?

Not OP but it started happening to me a few years ago. I'm 37 now and it is slowly getting worse. The only thing that keeps it at bay is regular exercise, both strength and mobility. I'm careful about running.

Does any experienced dev have experience outsourcing to another dev that produces clean robust code that solves a non trivial problem (ie not tic tac toe or a landing page) more quickly than she would by herself? I think not. The reason is

Yes that's correct, we can't just expect people to lead that struggle alone. How about some regulation in the F&B industry? Reducing screen time at school? Those can be done now and don't really cost much. And then make o

Pharmaceutics are so valuable because they can be sold . A healthy lifestyle must be earned. It is a constant struggle against the fastfood industry. Soon you'll see Coca-cola or Nestlé [0] selling both very unhealthy quasi-addictive

I would say it gives you +25 years of healthy lifespan. Compare it to being obese, wich can happen very young and is in part determined by how you are fed when you are a baby/child.

Why not? What is not scalable about it, specifically ? I mean, sure, it doesn't scale as well as a magic pill as a business . But is certainly is O(n) with the number of people involved.

I wonder if I would really like to pour billions of taxpayer money into aging when we are not even able to live a basic healthy lifestyle. Sleeping well, eating well and exercising does work. Science about this is well-established. So why a

Sure. How about the tons of products we don't even see? Those that tried to do it right on the first try, then never delivered anything because there were too slow and expensive. Or those that delivered something useless because they d

I find it non trivial to split a team in two independent teams. If the two teams have to coordinate a lot and work on the same code base, is there still two teams? To be independent, they would need to work on functionnaly different parts

An interesting study indeed. Not enough data points but still way better than anecdata and self reporting!

What team size does XP recommends, if any ? It seems like the standard around me is between 8 to 12 people. This is too many in my opinion. I believe this is because management is unknowingly aiming for the biggest team the does not complet

I share your feelings. Regarding design reviews, we used to have them at my current job. However we stopped doing both formal design documents and design reviews in favor of prototyping and iterative design. The issue with the design phase
