I think this is completely wrong -- look at UAC on Windows, that works very well. Even if the machine is completely single-user, you don't want any program you run to be able to modify system files, etc. It is useful to manually grant

S&P return since 2000 was 2.2% on average, 0.05% (!!) inflation-adjusted. Last decade was 5.3%, or 3.2% inflation adjusted.

At the moment, relatively safe investments with 10% yields do not exist.

No, not really -- most of the companies float around breakeven.

Inflation and base interest rates are not the same thing, though they usually affect each other. If inflation is higher than the base rate, then people tend to spend more as money is losing the purchasing power. The problem is that inflatio

I don't know if he has edited the original, if not, then sorry - I should have quoted 'hard'. (Not that it's unclear for anyone what I was referring to.)

I don't know. Namespaces can be complex, yes -- if you use them. You are not obliged to. Also, XML schemas and XSLT are immensely useful (the lack of schemas is one of the most annoying issues with JSON).

> XML is unnecessarily complex for this kind of usecase, and too hard and time-consuming to work with (and I agree) What is 'difficult' in XML?

Does this mean that running high-risk project inside Google started to damage the reputation of Google? Many (most) of the moonshot projects failed (which is normal), and I have the feeling that these events had a somewhat bad fallout on th

Up to this day, it's not really possible to a laptop with Linux to drive a 4K external display without too much inconvenience. Even Broadwell has problems with driving 4K with SST @ 60 Hz, so Optimus is useful.

Yes, it's larger than a C or Go process. Does it usually matter? No. The whole Netflix is based on the JVM and Java. They are enormously big, they have high CPU and I/O requirements in many cases, and yet, they manage well on Java

"Code size was reduced by almost half, from 175 lines down to 96." Hm, I how can we take a 175 LOC project as something relevant in any way?

Yeah, sometimes I coded after a few beers and I felt smarter. Next morning the disappointment came :)

It's basically impossible to upload this data in 6 months. 100 PB = 102400 TB = 104857600 GB = 107374182400 MB. You have 365/2 * 24 * 3600 seconds in 6 months, that's 15768000 seconds. So you need to upload ~7 GB/sec, th

You should be aware that this is a _bad_ pattern for anything more serious than a university homework. Instead of exposing functionality that you can guarantee and that's required by the clients, you expose your database schema, essent

Yep, the M3800 is not the usual precision, it's an XPS15 with Quadro.

Some stuff to remember: - thinness does not matter that much. If you want your stuff to look cool, then it does, but for portability it doesn't. - thinness affects cooling. You don't want your battery get ruined, your CPU throttle

That's the main reason I ended up buying a Zbook G2. During summer, the 2013 rMBP was unusable, basically.

Try to guess the truck factor for Java/OpenJDK or .Net, and you'll immediately find one reason why enterprises go with that and not ... dunno, grunt.js.

Software development is mostly not about syntax and programming languages, but domain knowledge and understanding humans. If a non-programmer could really describe what he wants, then you could write a compiler for that text. But it's
