They won't. Just as most modern devs can't edit assembly and would take days to write a bare bone network communcation, they won't need to learn certain things we did. And they will excell in other skills, making some old age

Russia has a history of intense state surveilance und state sponsored hacking. Pair that with immense corruption and an authoritarian law system. Do I think that the USA does the same and is allready in our system? Yes, though a bit less li

We use this technique as a guide in our company. If someone (knowledgable) would ask "What does this method call do?" and the method name does not answer that, your PR doesn't go in the master. E.g. getString(path) for loadCo

We could use an international magazine or media channel that focuses solely on tools that have prooven to be robust and reliable. And on trustworthy companies with good value for money ratio. I'd love to spend double for some things, i

It's really hard for me to not think of mallice when people say things like "The governments takes half my money!" In germany, when having a (quite high) 100k pay, you effectively pay aprx. 32% taxes on it. I think thats fair

A simple realization helped me to get out of the loop of night thoughts a lot quicker: At night your reasoning abilty is massively impaired by melatonin. Thats why your thoughts keep going in circles and one does not find the most obvious s

tldr: the foundational problem is lack of liability The whole ecosystem of modern programming and software is just insanely opaque. As an enduser you have very little clue who is to blame for an error or a slow machine. Imagine your car wou

Adressing nr. 1: Oftentimes it is make or break for a company/project to get the programmers to follow yagni. Cleaning up old code can very much offer no value (short or long term) to the product, the conpany or the user. And a program

The management of the establishment was what killed the vibe for fission energy. And in this regard the greens where right. Many facilities (back then and now) where unsafe (e.g. Ukranie) and are still a threat (e.g. France) Add to that the

But we are not rational machines. There is a difference in emotion and depth to buying a cookbook, or randomly stumbling upon a dish you (maybe unexpectedly) like and take the ideas of it home with you. One (of many) example of mine is brit

I can't see why so many people look down on traveling. I do not tell people unless asked (it is not part of my identity) but I traveled my fair share and it changed me a lot. The food I eat (the better half of my diet), the way I drive

I think this depends strongly on your companies bussines area. If you have BB with companies really relying on your product and long running contracts, the customer wants what he paid for. Including support for the heap of defects. Worse if

That sounds like an awesome trick to write tough female chracters without having your tainted brain trick you into sterotypes. Just random all genders up after writing.

Add some localization to include country specific news and theme filters and I'd pay for this without hesitation. Free me from this cacophony of ever repeating "content" news.

The modern internet is deprived of ornamentation in the same way modern architecture is. Tiktok allready upped the speed and made a lot of the established web seem terribly boring. I truly hope that AI generated content is putting the final

Thank you for your analogy. Demand shapes supply is a capitalism fairy tale. For most markets you just can't buy what you want. Even if you would be willing to pay 2 to 4 times. You have to buy the mass produced sameness. We do not cho

This is the perfect example. You start out like that and all is fine, but two years, a few changes and some bugfixes later your now 2700 line method is a total zombie. The comments blocks are lying and you have incromprehensible dependencie

Beeing determined is the limiting trait in healthy educated humans. If we can fix this by culture, devices or drugs, humanity will take its bigges leap since the invention of machines and evolve into an never before seen powerhouse of techn
