It's the nature of most types of volunteering work. If you sign up to be the conductor of your local choir, you have the same thing. People start expecting you to do stuff. If you're going to be in that role, as ploxiln…
It's a person who applies engineering principles to the design and implementation of software. It's about the "rigidity" of the methods that are used to construct the software. If the software is just cobbled together,…
I had a colleague some years ago, who consistently said 'add hook' instead of 'ad hoc'. I never had the heart to correct him.
Usually it does have all the information, it just isn't able to put it all together. If you for instance ask it to name the female tennis players who have won the Wimbledon tennis tournament twice, but not more than…
That's a prediction you'll make only if you're not a programmer yourself. The entire purpose of a programming language, as opposed to a natural language, is to be able to communicate precise intent to a computer. A…
44200 hits on Google, for that particular misspelling.
Dave Cutler is, seemingly, a good example of this. If you have not read it, I recommend the book Show Stopper! by G. Pascal Zachary, about the development of Microsoft Windows NT under his leadership.
I don't agree with this article. I write hundreds of lines of notes each day, as a part of my coding and work routine. I do it all digitally, in Visual Studio Code, as pure text. I think, as long as you can write…
I think you just have to make yourself do it for a prolonged period of time, all the while making sure that you do not overexert yourself. Make it pleasant on every occasion, and lower the intensity once it starts…

Software development is inherently hard, and many software developers suffer from impostor syndrome. It's easy, within software development, to start doubting your own work, because there are so infinitely many ways of…
How did it affect you?

100% agree. The most important point is to make exercise enjoyable; the more it feels like a chore, the more you will not be getting out there doing it.

It's my personal experience from interacting with people who are on the spectrum. I generally find it very difficult to make sense of the communication that I have with people who are autistic, especially socially, and…
Repost of an earlier comment I made, on a different thread: I think the difference is that an autistic person will see reality like this: | O O | | ----- ( inner landscape (fact) ) ----- | | | | | | / \ / \ | While the…
I agree. They're pretty in the same way as fractals are pretty, but still boring and bland. I would not have any of the ones that I've seen this far on my wall, or as my blog icons.
Beautiful!
What is the most common attack vector to fear? I thought maybe auto-run had been disabled by default, in most modern versions of Windows, for the past 10-15 years at least.

It seems that this should be a feature of the software too. You should be able to tell the software where your camera is, and you should be able to tell it to move the picture of the talking person (or a person that you…
That might be true. But I think a good reader, such as a news anchor or a voice actor, will know where to put the emphasis and the pauses, in order to help the listener along. It's value-adding. I think most people who…
