I am now going to go down the rabbit hole of arm specific bugs in the libraries I use because so far all of the applications I dev (arm ubuntu) have never encountered any bugs. Yay…

The best part about your comment is that the video in question is fiction!

By ignoring it and buying new houses and cars

>wanton violence >punching someone outside of a boxing ring I could probably find 100,000 unique instances of violence solely from big Hollywood studios on Youtube as we speak

Because of lobbying and greed, sadly.

I do agree, but it depends on the criticality of performance and the level of change the system goes through by default. For us we are always implementing complex new logic for not…

I do agree but too often they turn into "well I would do it this way". If it is some very big and very critical system then yes, code reviews can be beneficial compared to the alte…

Code should be judged by inputs and outputs only! I hate code reviews. We end up rewriting well-structured code anyway simply because it is always easier to rewrite than to do surg…

Spring and JSP. Just kidding. I sadly do not have enough exposure to the platforms you have listed, but wish you luck in clarifying the answer.

If you are not comfortable spending x amount of money on one of your interests (which is totally a valid feeling to have), then it is time to prioritize and innovate! Necessity is …

Me too, the Velveeta comments were the best

Conversely I have a work laptop where all browser extensions are blocked, including uBlock, because you guessed it, malware!

When did I ever say any of these things? I specifically said that it is possible for someone to create a game like Dwarf Fortress without being the recepient of a PhD in Math. I ne…

Appreciate this response :) Those who are actually out there building things are a bit too busy to pontificate here anymore

But why is it bad to react to a headline? It offered something interesting to consider.

You don't need a math phd to code it either, you just need skill and motivation. That might be correlated with having a phd, but it isn't mandatory. EDIT: I physically cannot compr…

It's possible the monkeys might even write an AI that produces physical monkeys who then in turn produce AI!

No change, and less electricity wasted!

var cleverCode = bot.generateCodeFor(someCucumberTest, Mode.CLEVER)

This will take approximately eternity for difficult problems, such as management changing their mind every day.

With enough monkeys and typewriters, we don't need AI to go where we need to go.

I think this is an argument for less developers on a project, or at least more services owned by less developers.

Agreed, but it never should have been this complex in the first place :)

Why are you assuming that my wife tells me what to do?

Not sure I follow the logic, he got fired for trying. Simple solution is don't try, no? Ultimately you will lose in either situation, but one solution prolongs the paychecks.
