It should be named "Just Enough Knowledge to be Dangerous."

Logic only gets you so far when your base of knowledge is very limited in a subject.

I wouldn't believe them this time either.

Part of what college gets you and a la cart self-learning doesn't as easily is the confidence that you know what you don't know. That is also why employers prefer a degree. It tells them you have a complete base of knowledge that was well thought out.

The reason this doesn't work in CS is because practice is so far ahead of the academy in most areas. In other fields, such as physics and history this is not the case.

His past record suggests this is debatable. He is very well connected but that is all you can say with certainty.

No-one is saying Singapore or Cambodia is going to be the next world super power so how relevant is it to compare their 5 year growth spurts to what China is undergoing?

It would make no sense to lay off 1000s of people only to encourage them to move somewhere where you have to pay them more money.

I think this is a key lesson. If you're getting into a business relationship you need to be able to dispassionately discuss arrangements and contracts. It is far better to do that via email than verbally.

A more likely explanation is that CEOs don't see much of their children so they try to exercise control when they are around. Likewise their kids are probably more prone to being out of control since they are less supervised.

That or the article is just based on his confirmation bias.

Yes it is fragmentation. Just because it is "solved", doesn't mean it doesn't create extra work, extra bugs, and from a test matrix perspective, more compromises.

As for VR, there is a solid 30+ years of it being "the next" thing and then failing to be. I tried the Oculus recently and it didn't change my mind.

Evidence suggests otherwise. Sure you can estimate +/- 100-200% early on but that isn't what anyone is aiming for in a software project. Even detailed plans of repeatable (non-trivial) software projects do not result error bars that anyone really desires.

"Now if we multiply Eq. (41.19) by [math], [math]. We want the time average of [math], so let us take the average of the whole equation, and study the three terms. Now what about [math] times the force?"

Soo... am I going to need math skills to understand this stuff?

So it isn't just me then. I just downloaded Affinity and within 10 minutes was as productive for core drawing tasks than I am in Sketch. Of course I miss the artboards and would like to see arbitrary export sizes (@0.5x etc.)

Great tool so far. I'm looking forward to using it more.

Should the company have considered this? It is a toss up. If a lone person using an internet handle is the bar to avoid any naming conflicts you're pretty much screwed in coming up with a name for anything.

"Demand for organic foods is partially driven by consumers’ perceptions that they are more nutritious. However, scientific opinion is divided on whether there are significant nutritional differences between organic and non-organic foods, and two recent reviews have concluded that there are no differences. In the present study, we carried out meta-analyses based on 343 peer-reviewed publications that indicate statistically significant and meaningful differences in composition between organic and non-organic crops/crop-based foods."

I assume that is just where he posts some fun throw-away pics.

Javascript has finally gotten reasonable on the browser and ok on the server, but mobile Javascript apps aren't much better than Java was/is on the desktop.

Bear in mind that opportunity cost is an unrecoverable loss. Game programming where you press a DVD is an exception, but in the majority of areas the greater cost is actually in maintenance.
