It also helps because software is one of the rare engineering fields where code is non-destrictive and can be changed after the fact. The carpenters trick of measure many times, cut once, can instead just be cut and re-size if wrong size, w

Indeed. One can even game review systems by leaving errors in for the reviewers to find so that they feel good about themselves and that they've done their job. The meta-science game is toxic and full of politics and ego-pleasing.

The problem is most academics just do not have the time to do this for free, or in fact even if paid. In addition you may not even have access to the references. In acoustics it's not uncommon to cite works that don't even exist o

Systems do exist for this, but they're rather crude.

When academics are graded based on number of papers this is the result.

The biggest issue with papers for me today is that they don't allow videos as anything other than supplemental materials to be downloaded, or linking to a web-page that has them. I want to embed gif's or videos in my papers direct

Oracle basically runs HR and finance services for like every large company in Europe. They also run a scary amount of healthcare stuff and other government tech type stuff. It sucks but I see why they do it. If you don't have the techn

Being overqualified is indeed a real phenomenom. Employers can think your too expensive, or that your desperatem and that you might not stick around long. All valid concerns.

Honestly the biggest failing is just SEO spam sites got too good at defeating the algorithm. The amount of bloody listicles or quora nonsense or backlink farming websties that come up in search is crazy.

I mean even at my supposedly top uni in the UK 60-80% of the class got a first, depending on if a COVID year or not. Like 1% gets a 2:2 or below....

Is this that impressive? In my high-school there were roughly 200 people in the year group and I'm pretty sure most of them could list off practically everyones names and something about them?

Good faith doesn't mean you can waste people's time. It's the reason why patents for perpetual motion machines are banned in most countries. The inventors often genuinely believe they've done it and want to help people,

I guess we now have the equivalent of cowboy builders but for software now. Except no one asked for anything to be built in this case lol.

I mean this kind of makes sense right, they chose it because they can customise it to fit them, it's basically a bespoke editor.

GDS's budget is about £90 million a year or something. There are many contracts that are still spent on digital, for example PA consulting for £60 million (over a few years) which do a lot of the gov.uk home-office stuff, and their fre

This just isn't true. It's definitely possible to train for them if you want.

I think it does but both ways tbh. A lot of the times they exist because people think managements job is to have meetings, like people think a developer's job is to write code. We are well aware that both of these job's have far m

the locking of stdout on every call is common amongst a lot of programming languages, a common issue when multi-threading code where every thread is allowed to print to the terminal.

Yeh, it's kind of insane that most electronics sold on Amazon now are counterfeit, fake or dangerous. How do they have no legal responsibility for the products sold in their store.

I think in today's world the harder problem is evading SEO spam. A search engine is in constant war with adverserarial players, who need you to see their content for revenue, rather than the actual answer. This neccessitates a constant

"Substrate isn’t stopping there. They intend to run the tools in their own fabs rather than sell to 3rd parties." A bonkers idea if true. Trying to create TSMC and ASML in one company doubles your challenges. We've seen just
