You can add two new columns to your Kanban board called "Documentation" and "Documentation Review". Then tasks cannot move to your "Done" column unless documentation is written and passes review. If you enforce

As far as I understand, yes. The red shift of the light can be measured, which tells us for how long the light has traveled.

The ant and balloon analogy is really good from an intuition stand point. Great explanation! Well done :)

The light we see is from when the galaxy was closer. As the light left the galaxy and travelled towards us, the universe expanded "between" the photons and the galaxy.

Why is this comment so downvoted? I'm not american, and I was also curious about why they don't have an adress. As far as I know, only homeless people don't have an adress in Denmark. EDIT: Great, now I'm downvoted as we

I thought this was a very thought provoking talk, even if we talk nothing the speaker says for granted. A year or so ago I had a semi-breakdown over the fact that all the best practices I stood by was more or less just a regurgitation of wh

If you are going to use my own trick and use the same dictionary against me, at least have the common decency to also use my own words against me! Definition 1C in the link you provided lists "a means to an end" as a definition

Code absolutely is a liability. It is not a tool, it's a means to an end. A simple tool, like a hammer, is not volatile over time. The house that you build with your tools is. It will weaken and rot, and given enough time it will cru

Sort of. But there is no penalty for governments if they break the regulation. Only companies are fined for breaking the regulation.

> One last thing with error handling. Everybody does if err!=nil. I tend to go the opposite way, if err==nil and nest these, if err isn't nil i drop out and deal with the error. If it is ok, it will return ok. Don't you get &qu

It isn't. Not in a significant way at least. I think the main benefit of OOP isn't really abstraction, like modules, because even function signatures coupled to a struct definition can be a great abstraction. Abstraction is about

This is not an argument. Not all drunk drivers kill people either. A good argument must imply that social media bots are a net benefit to society and democracy, not that some good ones exist.

Just wanted to add that this is a beautiful example of why, you shouldn't pretend to know the motivations, or what happens inside the heads, of other people. (as piyushpr134 did)

That depends what you mean with free speech. "I want to say anything I want, and no one can punish me for it" only makes sense if you believe your words have no consequences.
