Why would you expect that more critical thought would lead to more visible opinions? Would be like expecting everyone to have a different route they take out of their neighborhood. Nothing wrong if someone does want to try a different way

So many things in life are better if you can get past that fear of not being good. Because very very few people can skip the stage where they are not good. (I'd be comfortable saying nobody. But there is always somebody, it seems.)

Right, I was not intending this as a defense of gas ranges. More surprised that they would baseline with a non-ventilated kitchen. Cooking, itself, will pollute your air to a surprising degree.

Agreed that folks should look more favorably on induction. I did not mean my comment as a defense of gas. Just pointing out that most of the pollution from cooking is one where you want a good range hood that vents to the outside. And yo

I mean, if you are looking at unventilated kitchens, you are going to get bad values cooking. Pretty much period. Yes, by products of burning gas are bad. But by products of cooking are already bad. Ventilate your kitchen.

The oven mitts metaphor probably works really well, if you shift it into metal working. Yes, it takes getting used to wearing heavy gloves when working. No, you don't want to skip out on them. Edit: Honestly, any job where gloves are

This feels like a silly over emphasis on a naming that ignores how alike it is to so many things that came before. Don't even have to go too far back to get stories of people finding themselves in a fantasy world through a wardrobe. H

Worth underlying the OLAP versus OLTP divide you are speaking to on the close, there.

Right, I suppose you would call what Norman Rockwell was doing was tracing? I still see them as largely related? That not considered the case?

by taeric 6mo ago
Curious not to see the term rotoscoping mentioned. As a lot of what is shown in copying some pictures is effectively that, isn't it?

by taeric 6mo ago
The article touches on this. I found the Norman Rockwell quote rather amusing.

I don't understand you, here. If anything, you seem to just be describing your own argument. You ask why we couldn't have a single frequency for long-distance radio communication. Which is either willfully ignoring all of the fr

Setting up an iPad was rather obnoxious on this front, though. So, fundamentally, it is still very similar.

Fundamentally, I think you are driving at a legitimate complaint and it should be a concern with Apple products. The direct answer, though, is largely one of execution. Microsoft isn't just pushing this heavily. They are doing so poo

Apologies, but this just reads as incoherent wish casting. Good luck.

Even granting the idea that game theory can be applied successfully here; that does not really help with one-off events. Consider, knowing the odds of a coin flip does not grant you any real help in knowing what the next coin flip will be.

But there is nothing obvious about this? For one, this is speech that can only be done using otherwise regulated means. You couldn't claim "free speech" and build a radio tower that transmits long distances, as an easy exam

I mean, this is the case for a lot of things? Has always been the case. If you host friends over for dinner at your house a lot, nobody will ever say you are subject to the same rules as a restaurant. You start letting other people host d

There are also similarly a lot of controls mandated on who they cannot give the data to. It isn't like health records are an open free for all.

I find it amusing to jump straight to the "because some species lack watches." It isn't like humans started with them. Kids aren't even really able to use a clock for quite a few years. Article is still neat, mind. I

This same logic can be used to argue against the "keep all functions at 10 or so lines of code" mantra that a lot of folks try and push. Which is not to say it isn't valid.

Oddly, I would say that this often exposes complexity? Not that that is a valid reason to go all in on it. But some things, like updating service contracts, are complicated. Indeed, anything that makes it look like many services all depl

While I can kind of see what you are aiming at, a basic button down and clean pants go a long way. Keep it ironed and clean, and you go even further. No need for the anything that looks like a uniform.

You should be able to do the calculations in fixed point, easily enough? Indeed, it used to be that most embedded systems would use fixed point due to lack of float hardware. I would actually think fixed point would be beneficial for its a

Isn't that more of using a float to represent the number? Would be akin to trying to represent .5. Which, if your goal is to represent decimals, you are best off not using floats. Granted, just storing it as a 32 bit integer is proba

This reminds me of the amusing tendency of people to use the full double for recording lat/long of locations.

I challenge the idea that first request latency is bottle necked by language choice. I can see how that is plausible, mind. Is it a concern for the vast majority of developers?

Nevermind the collapse of salaries flowing into the area which is destroying what the market demand is willing to pay for the existing stock? This crowd, of any, should be familiar with how many jobs flowed into that area and the promise o

A lot of the increase in bills people are seeing come from necessary upgrades to the distribution infrastructure. Something that was going to be happening anyway.
