Sounds like youre ahead of myself and many others if you've read existing research & formed your own organic oppinions from that. Im not saying people have to conduct the research themselves, though kudos to those who do

While I don't believe the earth is flat, i haven't done any real research, and i assume that's true for most of the people laughing at flat earthers. Of course i believe in global warming, though ive never read a single paper

I don't like this type of argument. Dollars saved are dollars saved, even if there are bigger problema that could be solved

If you're not on schedule, tell your PO. We estimate tasks to be done as if they were done by even the least experienced teamate. My PO would rather cut a few features and hit the deadline than deliver nothing because we wern't c

I would expect that you would use both async requests & multithreading. I might restrict each thread to operate on an exclusive set of domains to throttle the request rate to any given domain at a point in time

I did an internship at an engineering company during highschool and they gave me various tasks with pretty minimal guidance. The one that stuck out the most was downgrading their desktops from Vista to XP. Most of the drivers on the XP dis

If i had to take a guess, I would imagine above all else, the reasons people start drinking are going to vary from one culture to another (on the average). Ive heard the expression: drunk people speak sober thoughts (meaning they hold back

I never argued for learning llvm, the comment I replied to mentioned CS grads that could not write fiz buz in ANY language. I would never suggest going 0 to 100 like that

Im sorry but if someone graduated with a CS degree and can't write an if-else, the teaching was not the problem. I knew a few people like this, but they had to cheat their way through & do 0 work on team assignments. Students need

Less is more in my opinion. Heavy indica strains will make you sleepy though

The head of my cs dept said something along the lines of "we wont teach you everything, but we will teach you how to teach yourself" The engineers I go to for advice are the ones that enjoy learning CS (and do so actively) From a

They make it seem like they want to give you something free, but their only intention is to get money from you i guess

Haha that's awesome, there was quite a community for it back in the day. I actually log on to oldschool once in a while for the nostalgia, though I do not bot it anymore. This is off topic, but I love/hate the system where all ne

For the first 9 years of my life, my family either did not have a PC or I was not allowed to use it for more than a few minutes. My parents relaxed a little bit and allowed my brother and i to read for an hour to play video games on the co

Idk, I majored in CS and I don't use the term efficient or quick to imply relative asymptotic time complexity. Consider for example a randomized quicksort (O(n^2) worst case) is often faster than say mergesort (O(nlog(n)) worst case))

P != quickly solvable by a classical computer. P means solvable in polynomial time relative to the size of the problem, which could still take longer than the universe has existed

I bought a 1080 TI a while back for around $750. Bitcoin surged and the same card was $1300 for a few months. Now it's back to $750ish My FPS stayed pretty stable though

"To code is to problem solve. You are trying to get X to happen in Y way using Z constraints. It requires you to see the solution to the problem first. Then conceptually work backwards to reverse engineer that solution. Then build each

I dissagree that only business value added should be rewarded. Sometimes your manager will come to you with an idea that gets squashed 2 months down the road. I could do great at what i was tasked to do, but did not end up adding any valu

The main facilities are more than fine, its a job not a resort haha. Management could be better, but I have a very small sample to base that claim off of. That being said, a sexier environment is just one of many ways to motivate people. R
