But the thing that’s unusual about good scientists is that while they’re doing whatever they’re doing, they’re not so sure of themselves as others usually are. They can live with s…

Not a very rigorous test - but I just applied this to one of our (very) large angular 1.x apps and it had a consistent 20-30% reduction in profiled execution time across the couple…

As with the shirt example in the original article, the cost of labour (i.e. paying people for their time) represents the majority of the cost in building a house. The other items y…

Am I right in saying that the complaints with btrfs in CoreOS are specifically around its use in conjunction with Docker? (Interested as I'm thinking about building a homebrew NAS/…

I find these landing pages that don't let me even have a peek at the actual product, so they can funnel me down the "Try now for free path" really irritating.

Netbeans also has a local history recording feature which is integrated pretty well alongside the git/vcs features (just hit history on any file and see a log of all your local cha…

There's nothing in the parent comment that seems unreasonable to me. You're putting a spin on it that doesn't exist. The content of Quora today is what it is. The Internet Archive …

I think you used the wrong word - IMO Uncle Bobisms often show a lack of practical pragmatism. The vibe I usually get from listening to him is along the lines of... "if everyone ju…

Don't install games on your "work" PC. This is a really simple way to keep yourself honest. Even if it's partitioned OSes on the same machine it would help.

This is pretty similar to what google can do with gmail already, and that doesn't seem to be more profitable the traditional google search ads.

While the benchmark shows that there is a measurable difference between using getters/setters and NOT using them. I have doubts this would make a great deal of difference in applic…

It is possibly 600k non-spam emails per day? With the 70GB including all data w/ spam. Because with ~300k accounts 600k emails per day is only 2 per account which isn't much taking…

Well that's disappointing.

I recently read "The Naked Ape" and a theory discussed there, is that public speaking is actually an acutely unnatural scenario which we are not well evolved to cope with. To stare…

I'm not sure how that contradicts what I said about DFA and other similar Kickstarters. If you backed a Kickstarter that was pitched as solely a preorder for an already complete pr…

After viewing all the negativity on here, I'd actually recommend people that feel the same _should_ stay away from Kickstarter. If the only value to you is getting the game itself,…

Do you have any evidence, because that would be news-worthy. Or are you just making stuff up?

I don't list my interests on my facebook profile, nor do a great many of the people on my friends list. For some that is because they don't want facebook having this information, f…

It's also worth bearing in mind the needs of the many, vs. the needs of the few. With the kiddie porn issues, generally the number of children being talked about is a very small mi…

Why would you want your phone to be the key to your most secure data? Also from what I've seen in the past most finger print scanning and cheap, "organic" identity verification tec…

From what I see it is usually well intentioned but not exceptional developers trying to write "good code". They know some sort of abstraction is called for, but they end up picking…
