I've experimented with warp drives in theory and simulation, and what they could theoretically do is to "scale" the space so that every item in space appear to be closer to you so you just have to walk 10/30th of the d

I also use automatic tests, and most of the time it's the tests inside the functions that detect the error - because the tests runs the code. It's much more simple then trying to prove correctness before the program haven't e

I add a bunch of tests at the top of all JS function - To make sure the parameters are correct. There is no good reason to not write these tests. You can throw friendly errors, and bugs will be detected early .

One problem is that it's the one hosting the data that pays the bandwidth. Yes when you download a video from Youtube, Google has to pay your ISP! (Google will strong-arm peering agreements though, but that doesn't take away from

The platform doesn't have any leverage here, they are just a middle man. All the platform can do is to ban the users from their platform. The platform does not own the claim, the contractor owns the claim. The platform is just a pay-ga

I like [0] better as it gives you faster feedback. My only complain is that the web-app background is a png (should be gradients).

The one who made the order ("Robin") has not paid the contractor. This makes it possible for the contractor to claim that "Robin" owns him the money. "Robin" is a real world person who the contractor has met,

If I understand correctly, websockets is a thin layer on TCP that does buffer data so that the application get the whole message instead of chunks. I recommend using wss to secure the websocket so that it can't be hijacked, then you do

This is great. You can now charge the client again as he has got his money back he still owns you $12.5k Then you can walk away from Upwork with 12.5+12.5=$25k ... or take the Upwork deal.

The simple answer is that they probably don't - yet. The software need to be hardened... If you have thousands of operational vehicles you will find the "bugs" quickly though, the question is how fast they can iterate and com

Why update at all if the current version pass all tests though? So in order to update a dependency you must first write a test that fail on current version and is green on updated version.

Yeh I've thought about that also that the earth has so many elements, while the Hayabusa2 asteroid is mostly carbon star-dust. However besides oxygen we are made mostly of carbon. And for example the amount of gold on earth is likely t

It's fascinating that the death of a star can bring life. Basically when a star dies there will be a lot of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen - the building blocks for life, and there are a lot of dead star remains floating around in space.

I used to think of tasks/todos as burning buildings and I had to prioritize which family to save. Now I instead think of tasks as balls, where most balls are made of rubber, so i can just drop them as needed, it no longer feels like so

You do not need to make money from the product directly. Think for example if the Bitcoin creator would get 10 cent every time someone mentioned Bitcoin. Or the easiest business model of them all, sell ads on your org site.

The bad thing with tech debt is that it has a very high interest rate. The good thing is that you can just delete the software and the tech debt will be gone. So if you do not have market fit, you can take a lot of debt. But if you do gain

Should do flame-graphs to see what the different frameworks are spending time on. Then you'll see what kind of fruits you are comparing. And in any language you could probably optimize to make it 100 times faster.
