This is one reason I like watching the olympics, because not everyone is professionally paid to be there. Versus for example a diamond league stadium where everyone on the starting line got paid to show up. I especially like to watch the fi

It can be solved with static analysis and type inference. Inference can be tricky though, as you have to backtrack and figure out what type of values functions return etc, so type hints/annotations make the job easier for the IDE/

You should not need to hack something you bought in order to use it. The "rent seeking" economy needs to be regulated or forbidden.

Web sockets are very low level, so first you want to use a library in order to work seamlessly with all 100 different implementations of websockets, but then you need to make your own protocol ontop of it. And implement ping and reconnect.

If you do not follow the happy path something will break 100% of the time. That's why engineers always follow the happy path. Some engineers even think that anything outside the happy path is an exception and not even worth investigati

Once you have set up the namespaces you drop all capabilities so if the program gets hacked while it's running it can do very little.

and just when you think you know it all it will get a major overhaul. Then there will come another language that compiles to JS, and then that language will die out and you have to rewrite your code into the next language that compiles to J

I think one of the problems in Europe is the cost of living compared to your salary, so it's difficult to save up money. You basically need a very understanding partner or parents that you can live with until you have enough profit to

Just write your own blog software. It's surprising how much you can do with just a <textarea> save it in a database. Then print out the content on a web site.

How do you decipher writing? Do you just guess what one glyph means and then try to figure out the context!? What is the Rawlinson Method?

It's such a waste of resources to rebuild an operating system every time you want to run some tests, and these CI machines are much less powerful then personal computers so it takes much longer in the cloud too. If you have your CI in

It will happen in all companies that has a monopoly status. If they start to struggle they will just increase the rent.

ohh, I always thought my Bangle had e-inc display because the clock will last several months on one charge, and the display is always on.

It was not yours to begin with. Think of it as a service. Just give it back and go to a competitor. Ohh wait, there are no competitors! Monopolies suck! Especially if they are world-wide.

There has been a large influx of new software developers over the last 15 years. All fighting for the jobs, which lower their value to employers.

The problem is these companies buy competitors or bribe hardware/platforms in order to get market monopoly. So often it's impossible to find alternative products.

The solution is to keep adding management layers until the company implode. The problem is that when it has gone too far all the people who are left are those that do not take responsibility.

These kinds of answers are really common, I guess you have to put a lot of work in to remove all those answers from training data. For example "no, I'm not going to do your homework assignment"

We need to force companies to be ethical and sustainable. Evil companies hurts everyone except a few who become extremely rich. A first step would be regulating markets where there are less then 5 competitors. A common strategy now is to re

In my humble opinion, a for loop is easier to reason about then recursion. So one of JavaScript's "features" is that it does not have proper recursion support, so you need to break out the recursion into a for loop, or the ca

It's not trivial to go back in versions to check for improvements or regressions, because some optimizations can introduce bugs that is later discovered, or you introduce a vital feature that degrades performance... So you can make you

As I kid I played a competitive text based strategy game, and I made my own crude simulation that randomly tried different strategies. I let the simulation run for a few days with billions of iterations, and it came up with a very good game
