I don't think what Pascal is trying to get through is that we should numb ourself to inner thoughts. On the contrary, to acknowldege them and if anything, spend more time contemplating. That is when we can learn about ourself, others,

I wondering why Ruby's binary search uses infinity as the max to kick off the search, instead of max float.

Very much on point. If the core of your business, or application, depends on external code, you are taking a huge risk integrating it into your code base. Sometimes it is better to invent a wheel that does exactly what you need, and nothing

You mentioned publishers leave you with 10% of the sales. I can't wrap my head around that, how is that possible and acceptable by authors?

Fantastic read. My only concern is that there wasn't any talk around cost of false positives (selecting a test to run where it is unnecessary) vs false negatives (incorrectly dismissing a relevant test), as those costs in terms of thei

Well said, I could not have said it better. Just to add, the productivity boost you get from short build times, in a long run, think of a project you work on for years, will out perform ANY gain you get from using a library, templates, and

I think you are confused about the intention. If you want order independent initialization you could just as well use the old initializer list. The idea here is that you DON'T want to accidentally initialize x with y.

Not new, for one thing I did not use it. Thinking about all the time lost waiting for linker to finish makes me sad, but I'll change my work flow now!

Reading the title I had the complete opposite expectations. Thinking that he is talking about a system where you want to have meeting with random people to talk about business.

There is a big difference though. This thing can actually act as an agent in a botnet that could be used for lot of things, such as DDOS'ng.

And if your decision was a failure you accept it as God's will. If you succeed you accept it as God's blessing. It is hard to imagine if there was an actual decision making and postmortem in play.

Completely agree with you, and I like to add that this is true for any programming language really. Often I find people, specially juniors, obsessed with how they solve a problem and design patterns used than actually solving a problem. To

Looking at your measurement, if I understand it correctly, you are saying that OP is incorrect and flux does in fact reduce the blue light?

Not only that, but also lets not forget humans learn as well. Meaning the more games players play against the bot the better they would become at understanding and defeating it.

OP asked a genius question and I hoped you have good reasons to counter him. But most of what you wrote felt like opinions and personal feelings. I understand that non-regulated psychedelics use could potentially lead to many people hurting

Its hard to argue with what you are saying. You defined our most intelligent types scaled as 1 and unbounded it for most intelligent. Then obviously majority falls under the line and are considered dumb. I don't know if there is any in

Thank you for writing up a concise text about the actual problem. While reading the article I consistently felt bothered by the terminology thrown around but couldn't really pin point why. We really like to think in silos, categorize

Yeah that would work but also make your code base a mess. Things that you can catch during build step and move in, or out, is much better handled at that level rather than leaking it into your code base.

I thought the same. The title portraits the change as a negative thing and in the text there is no mention of the benefits that this brings :/

Slack is a tool, just like kitchen knife is. Used correctly, it is valuable. Otherwise, I agree with all you said.

Ironically, clapping, is the very device Medium uses to keep writers writing, the same stimuli that releases dopamine in other platforms. And yet, the author decided to write his article on the very site that uses techniques Nir talks about

Indeed. That is the assumption I made. Personally, for me life without progress is a meaningless one. But I can imagine the opposite as well. Once you have gotten all you need you try your best to preserve it as long as you can, anything ne

You are correct, and that is basically what I am saying. But there is two sides to the coin. Good things will decline just like bad does.

A better way to put is that, without death we wouldn't have progressed as a race as much as we have done. We need new people with fresh ideas to come to top, take higher roles and make radical decisions. People living longer will stay

"Tech debt in any form isn't inherently good or bad. Just like financial debt it's a tool that can be used to achieve a desired business goal." We should print this and hang it on every wall of every room in which a piec

Neither you, or your parent comment, provided justification. "There are many good sales people", "There aren't many good sales people". Plain statements, little reasoning. Both worthless.

The answer to your original comment answered this. Engineers would avoid cv-driven-development if recruiters and head-hunters didn't use key-word based searches and rewarded developer CV riddled with most buzz, admittedly a bad thing.

The important bit is at the end of the article: "Meanwhile, ad blocking tools are now killing the JavaScript on sight." The irony though, replace adds with JS mining crypto currency. And guess who is blocking them...
