This is why I believe true engineering art comes in actually marrying all three: build great quality quickly at reasonable (small) cost! If you need it to work for at least a month…

You actually do. All of those puzzle-style questions of the sort of "how many liters of water in Mediterranean" ask you to develop a solution with a vague requirement by leveraging…

Product should, definitely, run user research along with Product Design. But what I find is that people in either have a problem imagining a solution that's a couple of orders of m…

Since there were no public domain images to use, it was deemed more ecological to generate one with AI than fly a reporter to Sao Paolo and snap a few photos.

IANAL but I'd guess copyright infringion: unauthorized (re)distribution of copyrighted content.

Is it? I believe it is fair to hope so and even expect it, but this has been promised as being just around the corner for 10+ years. Yet here we are, still driving our own cars, an…

One of the hits I got was https://www.networkworld.com/article/665211/byod-mac-users-p... — so Linux users obviously pay even more when they are interested ;) My point being that t…

Plenty of languages are rich with boilerplate (think Java, C++...). Expressing intent succinctly is non-trivial, and especially so when you want to provide a rich vocabulary like m…

Regarding reviewing commit-by-commit, I actually do believe a branch is a unit of work to be reviewed, as long as it is fully standalone and implements a usecase end-to-end (no mat…

As I mentioned, this is similar to a workflow we used at Canonical ~15 years ago with bzr-pipeline plugin for bzr. Except that you tried not to divide it by technical aspect (DB ch…

I dislike them reinforcing the component approach to delivering work through their examples, like the top screenshot showing "database schema changes", "api changes" and "frontend …

I went with a multi-split central AC: despite the higher cost, it is generally a usability mess. You can only run one mode for all rooms, and while that sounds reasonable, I have o…

Not in US, but on top of no room for air ducts, running long copper lines (for both mini split and multi-split units) tends to be expensive (price of copper). You also need to guid…

Does the radiant heat not increase the room temperature, thus affecting the indoor temp sensor? Combining that input with outdoor temperature (and whole weather stations) is totall…

There are always 12-page tutorials to do it: good ol'e search engines should be able to bring one up!

Overpriced for the value provided, especially with the pay-as-you-go rates for enterprises; but also in stock prices. Pricing a product is generally about ensuring a profit on inve…

I would say that creativity is crucial to a good , working compromise. You do not need much creativity for a bad one (it sounds like you are focusing on that type of compromise). I…

I do not think anyone disagrees with that — ideally, you get two ideas to meet and satisfy them completely (or two people to agree on the solution working for them both). But even …

Some might actually say that they found "a perfect compromise" where both use-cases are served well — this seems to be very much a linguistic preference today, regardless of the fa…

You are obviously using a newly defined phrase "mutual preference" which does not seem to be familiar to most people and a quick search does not bring anything of value for me (the…

Does not your entire comment rely on a very particular ("original") definition of the word compromise — so, uhm, on "choice of words"?

I believe people are focusing on that because that's a traditional meaning of the word — Merriam-Webster uses "concession" in 2 out of 3 definitions. I would say that an impersonal…

Compromise is one technique in doing optimization: as someone mentioned, you could be maximizing a known good property of your product with no ill-effects on any other property. Bu…

I disagree, we are faced with "true dilemmas" every day numerous times, not even limited to work and creation — e.g. you might be going to a shop to buy crackers, and while you hav…

We are talking here about someone at least technically savvy who would know if they are of interest or not (ok, maybe not). They'd also be able to monitor their outgoing traffic. W…
