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 contempla…

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…

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 dismi…

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 pe…

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…

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 pos…

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 a…

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 ps…

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 a…

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 po…

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 …

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 a…

> Like what? Take any norm breaking innovation in the pass 2000 years. Any idea that sounded arcane at its time: Earth is not Flat, its not the center of universe, light is a wave …

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 …

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 …
