part of the problem is wasted space and money in cities for parking (and, to a certain extent, gridlock). i do own an old, bottom of the line car which i drive rarely - mostly on weekends out of the city as i usually cylce or take public t

in my experience, many managers tend to try to dumb products down as much as possible, to make it work for the most people. the problem is that this, together with the usual bad ui/ux, makes the product inefficient to use, especially f

well, that's the great thing - you even have options: block the producers or overwrite old values. just don't forget to increment the start pointer too when overwriting old values.

for some reason, i always had problems with the concept of ring buffers - because what happens if end wraps around and overtakes start? it always takes me a few seconds (well, more than a few actually) to work out that in that case, the buf

ah, i once worked on a website and photoshopped one eye of a customer for a testimonial shut. then i switched the images out for a few ms on a random timer: i.e., die testimonal was winking at you. it was tiny and only happened once every f

"although people getting older with more obligations was certainly a contributing factor as well" there's always the next generation of young people. the question is: why aren't they as interested in raves than the gener

iirc the inuit had a diet mostly consisting of meat and fish, but - according to wikipedia - not even they were usually in ketosis.

i agree that excluding the test data generation from the test should have been required. additionally, the original task should have been formulated much more general, i.e: Given a function that takes a list of n random integers betwe

because it's not quite the same principle. i remembered it wrong.

ah, i remembered the principle wrong - incompetent people get promoted, because competent people are most valuable right where they are right now.

if IQ is distributed on a bell curve, then you're mostly right, as most people aren't too different. almost 70% of people are in the middle range, i.e. between 85 and 115. on the other hand, a difference of 85 and 115 might very w

not OP, but not necessarily. the general reason is not that indians are worse developers per se. in my opinion it's more about the business structure. the "replacement indian" is usually not a coworker at the same company, bu

i don't think that's generally true. quality of life at old age could be increasing due to several factors. for example: decrease of hard labor and better protections for laborers, doctors telling their elderly patients to go to t
