English is vague, even when accounting for that fact. It's much more difficult to detect or correct misunderstandings over text.
My biggest issue with this concept is time. You write your wall of text, I see that you've failed to account for some factor, so I write my wall of text. You don't completely understand my wall of text and ask for clarification. Back and forth, asynchronously. In a call this can be resolved in minutes. Over text this could take days
Here in Calgary we use cloud seeding to reduce the impact of hail storms. If meteorologists predict a hail storm, they will seed the clouds outside of urban territory to reduce the property damage caused by the hail
I recently moved jobs so I could be in-person again after 2+ years remote. Whiteboarding and micro-interactions (bouncing ideas, quick clarifications, brainstorming) are very difficult to duplicate remotely and I felt the lack of these were having a significant negative impact on my work. This is a way bigger deal to me than any of the negatives that come with coming in
I've always thought that Excel is the greatest piece of software ever written. The ease of entry, the extensibility, the impressive collection of built-in tools/formulas/charts. It gave regular people the ability to do data analysis and in so doing became perhaps the most ubiquitous business tool in the world aside from email. Happy birthday, Excel.
Our high school's local admin password on every machine was the name of the school district. Used it to install P2P software and emulators on lots of the machines throughout my time there. On grad day I was setting up a slideshow with my CS teacher and the domain login wasn't working. I said "just log in with local admin". He said "I don't know the password". I did it in front of him. His words: "I don't want to know what you've done with this"
I think one of the main issues with 3D is that you are forced to focus on what the director intended you to focus on. This is not true in 2D, you can focus your eyes on a blurry area over the characters shoulder without a problem. It will be blurry but your eyes can focus on it. In 3D, your eyes try to bring that unfocused bit into focus like they can in regular 3D space and that's what causes the headaches/vertigo/eye strain.
This article was trash. If the author thinks that Twitter's main function is finding out what your friends ate for dinner then he's an idiot and doesn't use Twitter. Twitter's problem is exactly this. The general Internet population thinks it's like Facebook but less useful and with a character limit. They have a branding problem
I've used Twitter to meet like minded people, however, I think the main distinction is that I don't use Twitter (in general) for interactions with people I met outside of the Twitterverse
^ this. Agile is only a set of principles set out to help write flexible software. It in no way made the actual writing of software, the gathering of requirements, the effort of design, easier; it simply gave us a process to follow that could potentially help avoid tedious re-writes. At the end of the day it's up to the people to put in the effort to make good software
This. The amount of new Thread(new Runnable(){...}).start() I have in my Android code is awful. And then inside the Thread you have to use runOnUiThread() to change UI stuff. Given how common it is for an app to hit the network, this should be much much easier. Looking at your example it might be slightly easier but it also isn't inlineable. C# solves both of these problems
