"Do you know what correlates more than anything else with undesirable codebase properties? The size of the codebase." Well yeah, more code means more bad code. I'm interested to kn…

I assumed, past tense, that it was integral, and with this new information I realize it is not integral, and now I'm curious about it. (technically: I never heard anyone say they c…

Is there any research into differences between people with a "mind's eye" and those without? (learned skills, chosen professions, natural aptitudes, whether it's genetic, etc) All …

Do these transformations leave any discrepancy or signature in the video or audio that would be detectable by a machine? (So, tiny, tiny discrepancies might work.) Someone could ma…

This one is pretty good. https://apps.ankiweb.net/

Yeah, good point, it would be great to see some stats on percentage of coffees bought in drive-throughs in America vs Europe.

Less time in the absolute sense, as in "you die sooner so you have fewer minutes alive remaining". Not "you choose to spend your time differently.

Interesting. But when you're older, you have less time. Scarcity usually drives up value. How to reconcile these two ideas?

It's a good book; we used it in my CS networking class.

It seems absolutely ridiculous to assert you're the only one on Earth that can talk with authority about "a correlation between music and watchmaking." You don't need to be a highl…

I don't know. Maybe. A quick Google search yielded no studies asking that question. Or was your question rhetorical?

Q: Is there a correlation between music and watchmaking? A: I am the only one that could answer that question. I enjoyed most of this article, but wow, what an arrogant response.

Also can't forget the Houston Eulers of the NFL

"How much better are you really going to get at Python after spending 1 year, 5 years and 10 years with it? Surely at some point you're just learning obscure tricks or the ins and …

What's your industry? Can you give any other details about the company? I've always been interested in these "lifestyle" companies but I'm not sure where to begin.

How many meals do you eat a day and how many calories total? I eat 4 "meals", including right after I wake up. But they are usually 500-600 calories each.

The one I did was breakfast 7 AM, lunch either 11 AM or 12 PM (I forget), and no food after that. I didn't find it an issue since I ate a big lunch then used little energy and went…

"How do you tell which markets are growing fastest? Use instincts as a young student." Welp, I'm over 22, guess I'm never starting a company.

7% of respondents do "software testing / writing automated tests" as a hobby? Bravo to those hardy souls.

"How does the system account for high-performing employees that are too busy working to prepare presentations for promotion committees? Is there no such thing as an unsolicited pro…

Yep, TDD is quite hard when requirements are vague/changing... the reqs changed? OK now I have to rewrite my test AND the code that passes it. Vague/changing reqs is of course a se…

Really well done, but I agree with one of the comments in there: need to add patterns to the solid colors; it would differentiate for color blind folks and in general make the rela…

Yes, like if you see the same few lines of code in two different places, you leave it, but in three different places, you make a separate function.
