Amusing. It's like a cavemen saying "Yep, we are done. We made fire ourselves, what else could there possibly be?" I mean we did a whole 200 years of scientific research. Of course, there is little else to discover.…
Confirmation bias to the fourth power. A person just told you that an average truck of which you see plenty on the roads, does a couple thousand times the damage of a car and your response is: "Let's get all the cars of…
I would argue: There is NO shortcut for experience. But not all experience is created equal. Telling someone HOW to do things right (we are talking soft skills, for hard skills its a bit different), is not helpful. You…
Probably, but that's still about 10 million people with private insurance, which is 1/3 of Canada's population. The point is, private insurance doesn't have to be a nightmare. That is not the only factor. Actually I…

Any company that wants to survive long-term doesn't do that. So go work for those instead. Companies who treat code this way aren't software companies, and they ain't gonna stick around for the long-run. They just use…

You don't need to know much about security to write safe programs. Most of the work is done by others. You need to know how to avoid common pitfalls (i.e. yeah, if your service uses 3rd party code to parse customer…
That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. You do not hire someone because he knows about a certain technology. You hire people because they will provide long term value to your company and are able to adapt a rapidly…
Fixing an issue around being unable to pay with a credit card is likely anything but a 30 min issue, unless there is some triviality happening, like a config issue. But even then you need to add tests for this. A day or…
Statically typed languages only eliminate SOME things you'd otherwise have to test. In the end, you can eliminate almost anything besides logical errors, however, those are unfortunately a pretty big portion of bugs :D.…

Yeah, they only put the fan in MBP to annoy people, of course. It has zero use. Go order the Macbook Air and have fun. Maybe you can fry your breakfast eggs on it too.
Hah, good to know. However, unless you are talking to people from the same domain, it's usually a better approach to spell out things instead of relying on terminology. Concepts and ideas translate much better across…
Oh I am sure judging by how excellent MacBook Pros cool things, having passive cooling will make no difference at all. I mean, during summer I put my MacBook on a large ice block that I freeze over night, this way I can…
Not just that. At 5nm there will also be yield problems. I.e they will put the best yield into high end and the worst yield into low end.
This is incredibly vague. There is no "set of rules" that just magically works without thought. There is just SOOOO much that can go wrong. But one general rule crystallizes itself pretty quickly: DO NOT EVER MUTATE…
