I would add to it that there are a lot of devs that can't build stuff but they try (frequently successfully) to sell that they are doing a lot of volume of work (like closed tickets, lines of code, hours clocked). And these people freq

Some I do agree with and some don't. I agree on pair programming, as a tech lead, pair programming is my single best tool to get some understanding of my team member capabilities. "Talks a lot about progress"... this is a mix

Nothing further from truth. Companies still desperately need developers to make their business goals reality. This is not changing anytime soon. There has been no advancement that makes developers less relevant. What changed is how companie

I think you naively underestimate the value of such skills and how easy it is to do this for some actors like terrorist groups. They do not have easy access to people like maybe you who are interested in it and internally motivated to do it

On a sample of size one. I found that sticking to hard exercise (I am a runner, so intervals, tempo runs, long runs, etc) seems like it is making it easier for me to stick to hard exercise in the future. I have some theories about it (like

I think US needs its partners more than ever and doing things like this on purpose is bound at some point to backfire on them spectacularly. I think rational US government would not do something like this on purpose because there just isn&#

Isn't it true that the price for gas in Europe is very inelastic at the moment (meaning they will pay pretty much any price to get it) and so any shortage of it will cause dramatic price increase? Also, Europe can't easily switch

I red a bunch of financial books including some history of financial systems to learn to invest but also because I am just curious about how we got where we are. It is interesting that the waves that we are experiencing are nothing new, eve

There has never been a shortage of liars of every kind that seek to steal your money. Somewhat rarer, incompetents who handle your property stupidly. If you care for your money at all, the only person to fault is you. I can try to seek &quo

That's because it is all built on greed and a lot of lies. The only time you actually are part of the trustless system is when you are sole custodian of any private keys necessary to access the coins. The issue with this is that a whol

I am talking best employees. People who will find good job no matter what. People you need to keep because they are actually the ones who make the show going. You got hired thinking you will get some amount of money (salary + shares) now

I do not believe the statement. Whatever the reasons were (and we can probably guess some of those), they probably spent significant effort to picture it in the most palatable way possible. My take would be: * They hired a lot of people in

When I was in my early teens I had a short period (after reading "The Mysterious Island") when I got really interested in chemistry. This kinda ended quickly and abruptly after I synthesised some nitroglycerin and actually after I

I can't speak about FTX the company, because I just don't know their business. I am speaking about crypto in general. From what I have seen a lot of companies popped up that are purely bound to crypto and so almost all of them wil

I just find funny the idea that people might spun research into something they aren't able to do themselves but is completely obvious to everybody else. Not saying it is the case here, just pointing a potential for humour.

There is all sorts of possible orbits within the system. Both orbits very close to either BH or the star as well as orbits outside of the binary system orbiting both BH and the star would be very probable and stable. There are more complex

Some people may find this offensive, but try to imagine the person who made the study was deaf in the low range of frequencies and did the study without getting it reviewed by anybody. Now read it again...

It will and there is a very simple reason it is going to happen. These products are built purely on trust. These things do not have any innate value. More than that, there is nobody that can be trusted that guarantees the value of it. Now

We won't have any raw coal. All raw coal is hundreds of meters below ground because everything that was easily accessible was already dug. In my country hundreds of years ago people were gathering coal lying on the ground or picking

It is actually very simple. Everybody can check easily. You do not have to believe me. You need two numbers: 1. Amount of carbon emitted by humanity. The easiest way to get this is to find all production of coal, nat gas and oil and convert

Trees do not reduce CO2 in long run. For starters, humanity emits more CO2 than the combined mass of entire biosphere (every living organism, not just trees), every 10 years. Even if we were somehow able to cover all landmasses of Earth wit

The same applies to most projects. When I started in IT I would frequently run projects over my head and then have to do a lot of backtracking wasting time. Now, whenever I need to do something I don't know exactly how to, I first run
