One problem is that people think about seniority as expert level in something.

In my terminology, when you are a senior you need to be a near expert in whatever you call yourself a senior within.

If that's .NET/C# like the author refers to, you must know how all (the esoteric) features of the language (e.g C#) behaves, you must know IL, WinDBG for advanced debugging and the things along those lines.

So many developers claim something that they are absolutely not, which is experts or senior in a technology.

It's IMO much harder to become an expert in something than to learn a subset of a set of technologies. Much harder actually.

Americans don't have a food-culture. Simple as that. That's the problem.

Re:Why Copenhagen Has Almost Perfect Water on Friday December 25, 2015 @02:44AM (#10790677)
If you're used to bottled water, tap water is different in taste, of course.

But we don't drink bottled water in Scandinavia because our tap water is of great quality, unlike a lot of other places.

The tap water in Copenhagen varies a lot. Depending on the plant your hooked up too. It can be very chalky and it can be very smooth. Strangly enough this is not throughout the rest of the country. Copenhagen water is probably the worst compared to the rest of the country.

Jumping in the harbor is okay, but it's far from being as clear as going to the beach.

Useless device. Wrong heartrate which pretty much says it all. Try running in a red zone with this band and let me know how big the fluctuations are.

Having a powermeter on my bike but no Ant+ in the watch. Forget it. And you cant stuff all needed information into such a small screen.

No pace settng, no average, no stopwatchh...i could continue.

A fun gadget for a teenager, but I never consider using this as a workout device. Not even close.

What utter crap to write. Seriously, are you for real ?

Ask HN: Would you walk away from this?

I have been asked to consult a company in how they should speed up their development process.Today the application which in the end of it all is a web application, consists of a lot of old ASP classic code, a COM+ bridge for being able to function within a mix of a lot of different .NET libraries written in .NET 3.5 (CLR 2). COM+ acts as a bridge between the two technologies.The teams cannot...

Knapsack! And there is no way to determine the best solution before every combinations has been tried. I have been in the exact same spot as you but ended up making a specific module for it which didn't needed any computation beforehand.

This just makes one realize how broken the standards really are. All these things should, to some extent, be taken care off without the developer needing to apply it.

I know how things work, just sayin'...it's broken!
