You couldn't have picked a worse example than CFS to include in that list - a syndrome that for decades was dismissed as psychosomatic, and that many people (read: most notably medical professionals) today still dismiss…
The most absolute simple form of production testing is simply trying to use the application to make sure all the parts seem to work based on what you'd expect from a glance. This seems quite distinct from randomly…
Use cases tend to fall apart as relevant to guiding developers once the domain model necessarily diverges from the implementation, which is very common. I don't see how they're more useful than general user stories: if…
If they'd created burnt toast (how does one do toast with non-sliced bread?) because the managing company had declared that the pizza must be shipped before the pizza dough was ready, you'd have some sympathy, no? The…
Netherlands - 2001, Belgium - 2003, Spain, Canada - 2005 Taiwan was very recent - 2019. I'll grant that none of these were before the internet but there's nothing uniquely special about gay marriage that required the…
That's a somewhat odd statement. Gay marriage was legalised in several countries before the advent of what we consider social media (Facebook etc.) - and a lot of other social change happened well before computers were…
I mean, you can represent everything under the sun as a string (or a very big int) but that's a level of operating where I find my brain starts to get fatigued for absolutely no real gain at all.
If I limited your choice to answering questions in binary yes/no, do you really think that makes things less complex than a free form & lucid description of an issue/procedure? Perhaps if you are communicating…
Well, an equivalent example is really something more like: the surgeon picking up their scalpel too quickly actually means that what they picked up wasn't a scalpel 10% of the time, even though what they saw with their…
I think it's important to distinguish the 'vaccine' as a complete package, that is, that which encompasses the distribution and regulatory framework (in the same sense that 'shipping' refers to more than just a single…
It selects all columns. Why/when wouldn't this be bad for performance is a more interesting question, no? (to be clear, I still enjoyed reading this.)
They could, but it's clearly the part which can be replaced by anyone else. Without Pfizer we'd still have BionTech's vaccine, without BionTech we would not.
It's not that hard to think of reasons why, even as effective vaccinations go up, deaths/cases may not decline in perfect symmetry. For example, certain groups may start caring less once the most vulnerable have been…
So not only do you admit it would never happen, you cannot even provide any actual figures to support your claim. New Zealand and Taiwan have had success because they effectively eliminated the disease at the start of…
You said 'pause the global economy', and now wish for me to substitute in any other effective plan, which kind of begs the question, doesn't it?
Can you put a figure on 'pausing the global economy for 5 weeks'? How do you know it would be less expensive? The global economy is massive so you'll have to provide some well reasoned figures to support such a claim.…
As I always like commenting when I see these kinds of comments: many thanks for (in a general sense) providing consulting/freelancing/general small business work well into my future.
I enjoy how one can read your comment for two completely opposed meanings.
One would presume that 1x is the baseline for 'competence', which is fine, but being able to do something competently vs. making it worse is really an infinite difference.
Finally a set of password requirements that's fun to try and beat. I hope the clients I work for agree!
Just to be very clear, that application is intended as a joke. (just in case)
It's certainly wasted in a narrative sense (yeah - that real ending is really sucky.), but the puzzles & environment can be fairly pleasing. It's not a total waste, basically. But yes, that review you posted was fairly…
Not necessarily solved, and I assume you know about it, but for anyone reading this, elm-ui is definitely worth checking out for at least an exploration of an alternative to CSS. For a talk about this:…
Weird that the author says all languages are very similar. Strongly suggest trying something like Elm (although I do not recommend it for any large production use, small areas are fine.) to see how brilliant the…
It only really obviously makes sense to pay in one scenario: they've encrypted everything (including backups), or you didn't have backups at all. Having immutable / offsite / offline backups may well be less common than…
