I wasn't very happy with Apple's bizarre UI or out of date libraries. The easiest way to make an OS with ideal support on one platform is to only support Apple's hardware instead of the PC cosmos, so I will be interested if A

Every few years someone forces me to use Windows and I find that my data is apparently worth nothing since it being one giant anti-pattern wastes my time.

Sure bad things could happen depending what terms they could negotiate. The counter proposal seems to be to not have made the deal probably not being able to raise enough money to do so in secrecy (or not maintaining secrecy and making more

The article is about Senior Engineers where time spent is a huge factor in the distinction. It would be more that theory building becomes a tuned skill for an engineer over time as a fundamental result of their job than whether they use it

The claim seems quite self explanatory. As someone who isn't against my WiFi router or NAS matching my desktop, I don't understand why graphics as a fundamental element of the OS is a plus. I also think Linux not being as broken a

In what sense do you need to be cynical to believe the purpose in testing employees and then keeping the 50% of staff that did best when reducing staff was for the reduction of staff?

AFAIK Sun gave Netscape free use of the JavaScript Trademark purely to side with Netscape against Microsoft in the browser wars, language wars, etc. I would think there is still something related to the original agreement. It looks like JSc

I don't really get your point. Our skepticism toward reports involving real cults and incompetent insititutions is certainly higher since 12000 patients were hurt by non existing satanic institutions in bad therapy. They are not less h

Ah, yes, I took this to be a reference to general doctors don't take psychological issues seriously, which is both true at times and sometimes exaggerated.

The "satanic panic" was certainly an extreme example, but in general the entire industry spent a few decades inducing false memories. Because of the nature of trust in authority few people question when they are pressured to have

It's clearly a serious problem that GPs ignore things that will surface but it is also a problem that experts surface things that don't need to be surfaced and in the worst cases even did not exist but fit a fad theory. One should

I've always considered NaN too definitive for general industry languages like C, JS or Cobol where not even physics with calculus should be assumed. Maybe its ok for languages that at least expect math for engineers like Fortran or up.

It is easy to put off most forms of evaluation until the project is fully done. Aside from not wanting to face evaluation or unease that something wasn't as good as anticipated it also means an evaluation on many much earlier actions o

An interesting and upbeat article.. But the death rate from overdose went from 9 to 32 per 100000 in the last 2 decades. Using their entrance logic, if I understand what this means afa per annum, couldn't that amount to a few hundred p

Petrol protectionism or religious fervor both have a risk of an overall suboptimal while delivering substantial relative benefit to specific groups and their members if they can maintain the absurdity.
