I think a lot of that has to do with how in Vietnam they killed babies - and most importantly, heard uncontested stories of this sort of this from everywhere and most did nothing to stop it. It'd be nice to blame this on something nice and

What I think, for what you may think it's worth, is that you should climb the highest hills, that you'll have to climb, right away. Best to know you can do it before wasting time. But, that you should look for the easiest way to success. It

I agree. Architects should just be senior coders - the people whose strategic decisions are usually right (mostly because they know how to test their assumptions). Having a specific person who doesn't do anything else but architect is broke

All else being equal I'll take more unicorn, please. But the point is that PDFs aren't very compatible compared to HTML. Nor are they very versatile. You're limited to viewing them as intended (which may not fit your screen, eyes, or task v

In other words, as long as it's more profitable to play with the government's Ponzi scheme we're going to suffer brain-drain from R&D and other actual industry.

I think you can use automated testing for games, usually... It requires a few compromises. If you're feeding input into a non-deterministic game the character won't be exactly where they were last time, etc. You could keep track of the move

The way the article describes Notch's testing methods sounds like a glaring anti-pattern. This reminds me of my first QA job... Thankfully another post in here suggests that he actually takes pains to mold the level design, etc, to make the

This is what's wrong with law makers. There's a perfectly good mechanism to prevent unauthorized downloading, it's called a password. Giving a file away, like giving a pamphlet away on the street corner, implicitly gives the right to view t

You need to be something your friend will find worth mentioning. You can get people to drop your name but if you want them to do so positively it needs to be something they can get behind. Your pitch needs to sounds good, from them, or it w

Employees are less likely to make money from stock options than actors are to make a cut of net profit. If you don't get the same type of stock as the VCs, and under all the same conditions, it's worth pennies on the dollar at best and like

I'd prefer that the carpenter build the strongest/lightest product, only worrying about looks where someone can see it and strength where it matters. To me the value of solid wood throughout is durability. If a composite material was better

And WikiLeaks is just troublemakers, etc. You do know that there's no official membership list for Anonymous and anyone, even you, could be Anonymous. Right? So yeah, it's vastly unlikely that you'd agree with everyone using the name. Why d

Both stunk and wouldn't have survived on their merits alone. They may be better than the alternatives NOW because they killed most of them. Having thirty unmolested years to perfect a product helps.

That's what I mean, it's BS. "Software is king - hur hur". Hardware is king - try executing your code manually if you disagree. Try wiring the world with a particularly clever algorithm or executing that massively parallel algorithm on a si

In terms of lines-of-code "maintained" per day, yes. In terms of actual constructs debugged, I doubt it.

Actually, Bill Gates has simply built gates and extracted a toll for using them. His products were rarely acceptable alternatives if evaluated on their own merits and sold largely because of strong-arm deals with the OEMs. Gates is a tremen

Your dev tree doesn't have to be always working so you can clean your commits later, you can commit much more often. Instead of using the VCS just for final collaboration you're now much more mobile. In a centralized VCS check-ins and branc

Like AI, if you define innovation as something large enough then we'll never get there. I think there's a lot in the small steps. It's only by implementing a framework ten times that it'll be done really well. In one language you'd never ge

I've been through 30+ unexpected fire alarms. At home, school, work, the library, at friend's apartment buildings, etc. In all these times nobody has been hurt by the crowd at all, let alone killed. Maybe it's a Canadian thing?

Not the only ones. I have no power to leverage or gain via a transparent society and yet I advocate it. Or, at least, no personal gain that everyone else would not also share. To me it merely seems inevitable and if we acknowledge that we c
