    I was being purposefully obtuse because stating what should happen when things are well designed is an asinine truism (blah blah, lacking real world experience blah blah). Teams should have a certain amount of cohesion: including, but not limited to, a basic idea of what others are working on. Otherwise it's not really a team. Peace bro.

    I have and when things are well designed

    There's a weasel statement if I've ever seen one. If the code is "well designed" why should anybody be touching it in the first place?

    Delegation and compartmentalizing are important.

    Which is why communication is important. I am seriously perplexed by your assertion that team members should not interact or communicate with one another. I'm thinking we have very different definitions of what "team" means.

    Team members don't -- and shouldn't -- interact with everyone else on the team; that's inefficient

    Then why are they on a team? Perhaps you've just never worked on a team of more than three people or on a tightly coupled codebase that is very easy to step on other peoples toes without knowing it.

    Are they going to block copy and paste with Javascript? I'm sure that will prevent copying and pasting.

  6. The next time you go on one of your "everyone is stalking and brigading me" rants I want you to look back at this. Attributing the motivations of a murderer to people (especially specific people) not in any way related is actually a pretty disgusting thing to do and you are doing all over this thread. You don't get brigaded; you just aren't actually the nice and reasonable person you try to project.

    They're 4 businessmen in the technology sector that successfully built their own companies into billion(?) dollar enterprises and household brands. I wonder why people might know their names. Must be because they're men.

  11. Re:Why is this better than HUD? on Mercedes' Futuristic Headlights Shine Warning Symbols On the Road (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Cost is always an issue. There are most likely numerous other reasons as well. I've never seen a HUD that didn't look like vector graphics from the 80s and luxury brands are 20% functionality and 80% refined image. Additionally they are probably planning ahead and see this as a possible common feature in consumer vehicles in the nearish future and wanted in on the ground floor. Can't let Ford introduce such a whizbang feature.

  12. Re:Why is this better than HUD? on Mercedes' Futuristic Headlights Shine Warning Symbols On the Road (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    I can: cost. a hud would require a much more expensive precision engineered windshield and windshields are commonly replaced. I have already heard problems with current forward-collision detection systems that point a camera out the front window. Buy a cheaper aftermarket replacement? Well its properties are different and the system goes nuts and doesn't work.

  13. Re: Broadcasting to others what you see. on Mercedes' Futuristic Headlights Shine Warning Symbols On the Road (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Not putting on your turn signal tells people you are going straight. You still need to use and observe other people's turn signals. I doubt many other motorist or pedestrians would be at a good vantage point to read these projections anyway. First because they are on the ground in front of the vehicle and second because they will be projected for the driver's vantage point and will look distorted to others.

  16. Have you ever considered that there are a lot of people that think the things you post are stupid? (I sure think you do.) You are very quick to handwave away any criticism you receive as just trolling. Maybe people have just finally written you off as a troll and ignore you now?

    Lived experience is confirmation bias. If you want lived experience to count as evidence you are giving a lot of power to actual racists- because that's their justifications.

    Everyone is wrong but me. You can tell by my House impression.

  20. And you are the one to dictate how women are and are not? Women don't talk about that stuff with you- that's all you know. And being as you already claimed to be uncomfortable with it, of course they don't. They may pick up on/assume you are insecure as well. They wait until they are in a group setting that they are more trusting in.

    My anecdotal experience is that in a group of all female friends plus myself they talk about that stuff more openly (I still wouldn't call it overly crude though) than my culturally North American "white" male friends. (A group of all Caribbean men tend to behave much differently.) But I have no problem joining sexual talk about men and my close friends know that. When women feel safe or encouraged to open up about those thoughts and feelings I would say that they are perfectly happy to. Which is why I would take surveys with a grain of salt; are they giving the truthful answer or the answer they feel is expected?

    Just because you aren't writing anything that requires runtime performance does not mean that no one else is. It sure is a good thing that someone had the knowledge and ability to write those microcode tricks to make that system usable.

    So? "Unusual" doesn't mean global warming- it just means it's cold as hell.

    Climate change denial seems to be almost entirely driven by ignorance and misunderstanding. Hard to blame them when they get the majority of their information from sources like this that are clearly just as ignorant with just as much lack of understanding.

    You can't grandstand on "believe me or you're an idiot" while surrounding that statement with supremely idiotic statements. It ruins your credibility. Do you care if an idiot thinks you're dumb?
