I find that function point estimation, potentially adjusted with COCOMO factors, is pretty decent. I find it strange that no one is talking about these methods
I don't like it.
We should be divesting from unethical businesses, not from american ones.
Nationalism can be so seductive but if you engage in it you're being pulled down to "their" level.
Instead, consider your true "country" is the set of good people, no matter where they live. Keep spending your money on ethical american businesses, and european ones, and russian and chinese ones, if you can find them. Stop spending your money on unethical businesses, even if they're local.
It is nature that demands labor for survival, not society.
Society has been gradually diminishing that demand, and may theoretically be in the position to remove it entirely, but such a state of affairs has never existed.
There's you who insisted on a FAANG job to make 6x more than you probably need and then there's me living on 1.5k a month because I refuse to do anything that feels more than 1% useless (i.e. most things in the enterprise). I'm not saying my attitude is better than yours, but I do think you didn't really need to grind leetcode if you really didn't want to do useless things
In other words, MCP is RESTful (as in, it has HATEOAS) and "REST" is not
Prices are about communicating almost more than they are about prices...
Not the one you're asking, nor the one you meant to ask, but I find it rather objectionable that we are now restricting the production of new memes in academia to the ~25% that is most aligned with a moral fashion that is patently hostile to intellectual freedom. It's good to be willing to consider DEI like any other idea but to endorse it is a clear indication that you only care about truth insofar that it is socially advantageous to do so. You're basically unfit for the job at that point.
This whole answer hinges on knowing that 0 is not a positive integer, that's why I couldn't figure it out...
She's a physicist. LLMs are not for creating new information. They're for efficiently delivering established information. I use it to quickly inform me about business decisions all the time, because a thousand answers about those questions already exist. She's just using it for the wrong thing.
Or maybe the stress-reducing effect carries over to the next day?
Stress has a habit of not being randomly reset to the default value every morning when you wake up
To me this statement looks like, they can't really make bold statements, so they make vague ones instead
you either define d-day as defense or you admit that WW2 wasn't won with defense
Might find it beautiful, but I'm also just f'in busy. Why do you think that if I enjoyed it I would've already done it? Enjoying things is great but it's not my main desideratum for doing something

Independent IT consultant and developer. My clients are SME's that don't have any in-house IT expertise, which I provide. I'll take on any job from design to architecture to product management to development. Big project? I can take full ownership and scale up by hiring remote devs, as needed. I can be your "bootstrap CTO" and help you transition into a tech company with a proper IT department.
Not that hard nowadays to switch to a decent developer-led neobank
European here. I'm honestly shocked to find out that there's anything else than the "work for money so you can live" mindset.
Unless you have equity or it's a charity, of course.
Like, i tried all the cliche stuff and applied them religiously. None of it worked. I tried sleep restriction. It worked. I even started consuming caffeine in the evening which would usually keep me up until the morning, but now I just fall asleep like it’s nothing.
Have you tried sleep CBT? Data says its the strongest intervention (set of interventions really) and it’s checked out for me. I had insomnia and it’s straight up gone (probably not as bad as your though). You should pay special attention to the sleep restriction bit, which seems most important.
