Being stupid and selfish should not be celebrated at all but warned against! He did not understand bears, just saw them how he wanted them to be and actually did them a severe disservice! Going outside of you comfort…
You fail to understand how software development and maintenance works. OFC you need an updated system that has all known security holes fixed to run homebanking apps. Also, as a dev I would only support one config and…
to me it seem you have bad experience and I agree that this kind of simple may be the wrong kind of simple ;) but: for me simple is to have a short and concise solution of a problem/ requirement that does exactly what…
for me I try to find the simplest solution that fulfils the requirement I have for the task on hand. No fancy abstractions/ design patterns- most of the time you don't need them, and when you do you certainly need them…
I was thinking about code along the same lines: we are modeling, not writing text. This just happens to be the best way to express our models in a way a computer can be made to understand it, be formal enough and still…
and I find your judgement on this quite disturbing, even arrogant. there is a reason nearly all religions take a stance against killing, even killing yourself! and for me it starts with: who am I to judge somebody…
I am certain in some areas it has. but on the other hand in others it has damaged it- screentime is an awesome feature measuring "destroyed" productivity ;)
sure, but to such a fundamental amount? or was it IT- the internet is not IT, super computers and simulations, databases and so are not the internet... I like google but google is only as good as the stuff out there,…
science was there long before the internet, and if history teaches us one thing it is, that gaining fundamental knowledge takes time- often generations (where one generation must die for new ideas to spread) so no, the…
esp. when it comes with all the stress of modern work with all the real time communication, social media pressure, constant advertising. now that I have kids, I grow increasingly conscious towards the effects this has…
I think your view has a distorted importance of medicine because you have never lived a live without it. And with that I mean felt the emotions of people going through it, like when your mother dies because of…
This is so theoretical it will never work in an acceptable way. Because of who will decide is responsible and on what grounds? What will come of it will most likely be analogous to the Communist system where just a…
I disagree. Disabling an action that is not feasible in the current context IS helpful, but ONLY if you provide an explanation on WHY. UIs that simply disable certain actions without telling me why always infuriate me :(
interesting that this company could stay in business. over the long term I would think that two things will happen: good devs will leave the company while the remaining fight an uphill battle maintaining code until the…
thank you for that link. what a diamond of interesting stuff!
But I think it has a lot to do with how profit is made: if you sell machinery for example that has a software part you are a cost factor, even if software is required to run it. Think of it as an in-house supplier that…
ofc individual experiences might differ! it certainly depends on the company and leadership. From my experience in a bigger one understanding ended when leadership was needed in software areas, but leadership was…
well, this seems detrimental to a discussion because as far as I know the term "product owner" was coined by SCRUM and has therefore a defined meaning other than say Product Manager...
Interesting difference: here in Europe, it is mostly agreed on that childcare should be free, like any education.
well in here in Austria we have tripple-glass-sheet windows that can be easily opened...
much rather: he had to spend significantly more for them to do so...
which also has to do with distribution of wealth, where the US are especially bad at. just an example: you do not pay for education in europe, much less for childcare (in most countries), much less for health care and…
well, you were beaten or killed for a lot of crimes- some only perceived. So, one may perceive incarceration as an improvement.
a sidenote: I did use a switchtester a friend lent me and thought I had found my favorite switch only to realize, that typing on a switch-tester is vastly different to typing an actual keyboard. :(
this. same for machine producing industry and software...
