I am now going to go down the rabbit hole of arm specific bugs in the libraries I use because so far all of the applications I dev (arm ubuntu) have never encountered any bugs.

Yay free money!

The best part about your comment is that the video in question is fiction!

By ignoring it and buying new houses and cars

>wanton violence

>punching someone outside of a boxing ring

I could probably find 100,000 unique instances of violence solely from big Hollywood studios on Youtube as we speak

Because of lobbying and greed, sadly.

I do agree, but it depends on the criticality of performance and the level of change the system goes through by default.

For us we are always implementing complex new logic for not very many users, so there's not much benefit to some clever data structure that we are all too dumb to understand. If I get a ticket that involves inserting something into the logic you wrote, and I can't understand how to operate your current solution, I will be hacking up an n logn solution as long as it is adequately performant

I do agree but too often they turn into "well I would do it this way".

If it is some very big and very critical system then yes, code reviews can be beneficial compared to the alternative. But for systems that are innovative and rapidly going through iterations as it is, it's better to judge coverage of test cases (and adequate performance but not optimal)

Code should be judged by inputs and outputs only! I hate code reviews. We end up rewriting well-structured code anyway simply because it is always easier to rewrite than to do surgery

Spring and JSP. Just kidding. I sadly do not have enough exposure to the platforms you have listed, but wish you luck in clarifying the answer.

If you are not comfortable spending x amount of money on one of your interests (which is totally a valid feeling to have), then it is time to prioritize and innovate! Necessity is the mother of all invention.

Me too, the Velveeta comments were the best

Conversely I have a work laptop where all browser extensions are blocked, including uBlock, because you guessed it, malware!

When did I ever say any of these things?

I specifically said that it is possible for someone to create a game like Dwarf Fortress without being the recepient of a PhD in Math.

I never said that I knew better than the author, or that you needed to believe in yourself, or anything like that.

I believe you are assuming that I'm reacting to something, but all I am saying is that you do not need a PhD to do what has been done.

Appreciate this response :) Those who are actually out there building things are a bit too busy to pontificate here anymore

But why is it bad to react to a headline? It offered something interesting to consider.
