There's a reason why "talented" people don't keep repeating the same mistakes. Maybe it's because we call people who learn from mistakes, "talented". If someone can bias their mistakes to be easier to learn from and fully analyze their mistakes to learn the most from them as possible, those people will appear masterful more quickly.
One of the things I do with my co-workers is hypothesize about where the bottleneck is in a system, create a theoretical design that I think is better, try it out, and find out if it fits my models. Even if my results are better, they need to be better in a certain way, which has a certain characteristic. This is how we program. What some people may think a successful project, we may think was a failure, because it didn't have the characteristic we were looking for, even if the end result matches spec.
We learn from these "failures". I think obsession is a very useful thing to have when becoming masterful at anything.
Depends on what you mean by "craft". Someone may have started programming at the age of 10 and became a "master" by the time they started college, then moved on to project design, spent another few years. By the time they became a project manager, they may have already spent 15k hours programming and 10k hours designing, giving them a huge leg-up on useful skills for mastering a project manager.
The article says mastery times ranges from about 700 hours to about 16,000 hours. With over a 1 magnitude difference between the high and low, it makes the average almost useless. It really depends on the individual.
My bill already is split between a connection fee and a usage fee. If I had solar, I could put power back on the grid and get compensated, but only down to a $0 usage bill, I would still have my connection fee. The power company will not pay me a net profit ever.
Not if the law states you can't have more renewables than base load, which is required for stable power. So long as we can't store renewable energy, we cannot have more renewable than fossil fuel.
"Hey, there's an inherent flaw in our method of producing energy, so if you come up with something better, it's your fault if there are problems".
What you could infer from that is generating power via fossil fuels or nuclear is not economically feasible in the face of encouraging renewables. This means there is no reason to privately own these plants and it should instead be funded via taxes. You can't get rid of them, yet it's not worth running them from a private perspective. Kind of like police. No one person wants to pay for police, but we as a society know we need them.
I was under the impression that a Neutron star could not (d)evolve into a black hole by just taking mass from another star, except possibly a merger of neutron stars. I thought the logic was something that as the matter falls onto the Neutron star, it creates radiative pressure from fusion that slows down more matter from accumulating, then it blasts away the extra mass and starts over. At no point can it accumulate extra mass fast enough to turn into a black hole.
That's a small Schwarzschild radius. There are some "black holes" with enough mass that the Schwarzschild radius would be 87 AU. We've already discovered "black holes" with 100,000,000 solar masses that emits absolutely no light, except when they pass through the accretion disk of the parent 10.000.000.000 solar mass parent, which causes a massive flare up every few years.
How do you pack 100 million solar masses into a small area and not have it emit any radiation? You can't. So either the light is not making it to us at all or it's being red shifted below radio. It's going to take a lot of gravitational red shifting to bring x-rays and gamma rays below radio.
Why just say to keep a spare house in case your current one burns down. Some people are not in a position to have any savings.
I've been in the position where my coworkers gave me their left overs because I could not afford to eat properly. The local food foundry told me point blank that if I wanted help, I should get my girl friend pregnant. I was somehow against this and just put up with living off of peanuts and ramen. I was lucky to be in walking distance of my work, because I could not afford a car as I could not afford to feed myself yet alone keep gas in a vehicle.
On the other hand, my wife, girl friend at the time, was told if she moved out of my apartment, she could get help, but I could not, even though I made less than her. Sexist bastards. Of course my wife ate slightly better than me because that's how I roll.
"Others said their cars were shut down while idling at stoplights. [...] One woman in Nevada said her car was shut down while she was driving on the freeway."
It can turn 350 cubic feet of salt water into drinking water per day on top of 12KWH per hour of peak output. I'm sure someone near an ocean with lots of Sun and little drinking water could appreciate this. Maybe it would be enough power to run the pumps to keep the water flowing.
According to the article, it's 40 square meters, and the Sun gives up a max of 1.3KW per square meter, which means it has a maximum of 52KW output at 100% and a clear sky. 80% would be about 41KWh per hour. If you assume 3 good hours, that's over 100KWH per day or $5 of $0.05/KWH energy. Almost $2k per year.
When the father stays home, the mother gets a divorce and the law sides with the mother nearly all the time. Omg, the father wants to stay home with his children? I bet he's a perv! I bet he weighs at much a duck, kill him!
In programming, "good enough" is a death sentence to any project that will expand in the future or creates negative value. The way I see it is programming has compounded layering issues. If you define 80% to be "good enough", that's fine. But you put one layer of 80% on top of another layer of 80% and now you got 64% and your product is crap. It doesn't take too many layers of "good enough" to have everything go down in flames.
Many parts of PHP are ambiguous or even better is when they take standard stuff that works the same way in all other languages, then change how it works, creating confusion.
Depends on your definition of "special". I use it to denote rarity or uniqueness, which good code is. If you think "good code" is not rare, you have an incredibly low standard of quality.
Technically, all transactions where value is exchanged are taxable, like bartering or even gift giving. But the government places a minimum amount before they get concerned with such affairs. Imagine if your friend gave you a soda and you had to report the "income" from gaining a fair market value of $1 in soda. Same with with yard sales. Since this applies to all forms of value exchange, this also include professional assistance you may give to your friends, like fixing their computer or "consultation" when recommending what new hardware to purchase.
Not entirely. Corps can deduct taxes my investing into infrastructure or employees. If a company had to choose between paying $1bil in taxes or spending $1bil on improving their company, I would hope they'd spend the money on improvements. What taxes do is keep companies from just hording huge amounts of money.
Women are 50% of the population, yet only 25% of CS majors. Oh wait, the ratio of women who WANT to do CS to men who WANT to do CS is 25:75. Nothing to see here.
My numbers are probably a bit off, but the ratio of women who show interest in CS based on random population surveys, matches the actual women who have a CS related job nearly perfectly. Men express more interested in CS than women, go figure. We don't need more women in CS, we need a more favorable environments, but I think the who "IT" industry needs that in general.
8mil subs times $15/month is more than $100mil/month. You should have said something more like "they make well over $1bil per year just from World of Warcraft".

According to Intel, their newest NICs can bypass memory and talk directly with the CPU's cache.

And have my house condemned for not having power?
I see you paid for prioritization.

Some of these cars turn themselves off at highways speeds, which disables power breaking, power steering, and airbags.

Here in reality, it's nothing special.

You define technical debt as (Doing it right) Less Than (Doing it wrong + Clean up to make it right)
I routinely see (Starting over from scratch and doing it right) Less Than (Clean up alone)
