The article is unfortunately paywalled so I couldn't read it. That ratio is indeed more sensical and interesting. But I think it still misses two points. First, the distribution of…

You can't really compare tax rates between countries like that. Some 20% of households in the USA earn 112000€ or more per year, where as only 6% of house holds in Germany earn 720…

Atleast here in Finland the political hurdle is so tall that when the green ligth is finally given, they basically have to build the biggest reactor possible.

One way to get at the end conclusion that the original modeling is wrong is simple logic. If given 1. Player can have a Weapon 2. Sword is a Weapon 3. Wizard is a Player The from t…

> You seem to trust that programmers will play by the rules, even if the compiler doesn't enforce them. I've been trying to say the exact oppisite. C, C++, Javascript, all those la…

My comment "not something people do" was about directly accessing memory to circumvent the private data abstraction in c++ and I stand by that. I admit that I kinda pushed you into…

Yes, you can access raw memory and flip bits to modify a private member of an object (and it migth even be defined, not too sure about that thou). But I don't find that an valid ar…

> That means it is illegal because it goes against the (higher) EU law. It actually does not mean that. The courts cannot ignore an Act of Parliament even if it conflicts with the …

The Human Rigths Act specifically does not grant the courts the possibility of not following Acts of Parliament when the too conflict. The courts can only give an declaration of in…

Umm... that is exactly how an parliamentary democracy works. The parliament can enact any law. Yes, many such systems contain laws that overrule all other laws and are often harder…

I have always thought commitment in this context as "we commit this much time for this task, then we stop and reevaluate" instead of a deadline.

Exactly. The point of time boxing is that you have to stop and reflect on the time spent. It gives you the chance to switch tasks if priorities have changed or to split the current…

This is pretty much how bash completion works...

It depends. If the duplicated code is supposed to do the same thing in both places then the two pieces of code are already dependent. You change one of the duplicates, you need to …

You'r missing 300k from your after tax sale proceeds. You could still afford the smaller house with 263k left over. You would make a 37k loss yes, but you could buy the new house. …

As I understand this, the client here is not the caller of the methods defined in the interface, but the one implementing them. Caller has no problem just ignoring the methods that…

It's off-topic, but I just have to ask. Why? Why would local copies be disallowed?

No, not really. Quite the contrary actually. It would be very unlikely that a volatile and nonreplicating molecule would be the carrier of biological information through billions o…

My understanding is that this process didn't really come into existance but stayed in existance. Countless other arrangements failed to replicate and endure.

If a micro service is independent it makes no calls to other micro services. Thus the system has a single service and that service is a monolith. Contradiction, thus a micro servic…

Yes, but the resolver is not specific to sorting. The runtime of Prolog contains no list sorting code. (Or if it does, it does so as an optimization.)

>I-don't-want-to-pay-for-others != I will not insure my health. But it is. Insurance works by pooling money from a group of people where only few are going to use it. >People never…

Depends on the industry. If your firm needs to buy heavy equipment for example, it's relatively common to get a loan for that from a bank.

Well, the runtime then runs the Tasks in a thread pool, so using Task.WhenAll is just a one more item to the list of options in that sense. It is a nice abstraction though.
