excellent read. My brother in law has been extremely successful with real estate from his single apartment beginnings, nowadays when we meet and I ask him "how are you" he replies "I'm blessed".

dude I know you have a lot of money, I just wanted to know if you were sick or something. smh

But that`s the job. It`s not like they were doing something else and this is a side effect.

If i employ you to clean human feces, you can sure me for not providing adequate protection etc but you cant sure me because you had to deal with human feces. That is the job.

well it's interesting because it gives an insight for those of us who aren't there how things actually work.

Musk fan or not, you can't deny this has no interest

the whole point of driving a Tesla is not to rely on the Saudis

yes yes, I get that but it also competes with their current cash cow. They obviously want a say in this technology that is inevitably going to destroy their oil revenues (and that is not a good thing).

Saudi Arabia? I know they have money but it's like selling your chicken coop to a snake

I think the proper cause of action in that case was to return the car and do an old fashioned stake out with lots of beer.. I mean redbull and catch the burglars redhanded.

This made me laugh. We were tasked to write an app for a customer and one of the main requirements from their product manager was the app had to open within 1 seconds. Not a problem we thought, then their technical guy came up with all these requirements that had to be resolved during the startup sequence.

So it was not simple and it was not fast. Nobody wants simple.. ever.

The implementation of this cheating is more insidious than you think. There could be a requirement to put in a "simulation" for testing. There's nothing unusual about implementing this feature. Then another request comes in at a later time to make this feature a build setting. Then at a later time someone who is not a software engineer toggles this build setting on production build during manufacturing to put it out in the field.

I've been in the business for 15 years, I have never seen a successful product fail because it was written in language x or y. It fails for a lot of other non programming language reasons though

which part? I skimmed through it and it mostly seemed to be group interplay, direction and competition. This is what kills products, not language of choice.

The only joke here is somehow this author thinks the success of your project is dependent on the language you pick

Sounds like it would increase the risk of RSI instead of decreasing it

it's funny looking at cars from 2013 extolling the virtues and greatness of diesel engines vs gasoline ones

How would you build a business on something you do not understand well? I've worked with startups who could not get past that 80% barrier you run into with your machine learning algorithms. They didn't know if their data was bad, their algorithm was bad or whatever the issue was because they ere not using data a human could easily conceptualize.

that's probably the industry where the original poster works in. If 80% of interactions are mundane and repetitive and can be done by a bot businesses will go for it to cut down on costs. The other 20% can be dealt with by a human if need be. I don't think 100% is/was the goal at all.

I will disagree with the TV thing, but I think isolation and very strict control over their schedule isn't helping. For example my 3.5 year old wanted to play in our backyard, I said no because we have no fence and he could wander away plus I found some garden snakes last week and didn't want him alone down there. However part of me felt bad for him because he wanted to be outside in the grass and I was too worried to let him do it.

Meanwhile Italy is still struggling to form a government. I prefer Canada's system to Italy's

I think they print the online form, have the buyer fill it out (including the stupid captcha) so they can go back and fill it online when the buyer is gone

Norway has a relatively low level of crime, it's probably a factor in their successful prison system

Everything is perfect with the absence of conflict. Throw conflict in the mix and it falls apart quite quickly.

misleading as in people think that the study starts when the trail ends, when in practice the study starts when the trail starts (because people aren't aware of this)

it's grammatically correct, albeit misleading

To me it seems like the only way to make a true study is to do it on a self-sustaining population, in other words very little to no outside money. The cost saving by the community should fund the income rather than the general population funding a tiny population. That will always work.

It is generally agreed (and obvious) that a universal income is beneficial the crux remains though how we pay for it.

it's a bit absurd if you ask me. Have meeting when you need to. avoid useless meetings.

But is the real official the script or is it the person/persons running the script?

it's not just about in app resources. This could also affect external resources.. like not cleaning up temporary files because a future maintainer returned early and left some critical data behind.

What a strange way to categorize whose bug it is.

As much as I agree with him, you can't really change human social wiring.

-you're more likely to talk to an attractive person, than an unattractive one

-you're more likely to engage in a conversation with an eloquent person that an stutterer.

-you're less likely to make eye contact with a disabled person compared to an undisabled one

etc etc

It's human nature and there's nothing wrong with that, I think the better approach is recognizing that and ignoring it rather than flagging it as an issue.
