Or you could just talk to that programmer, and find out. Managing isn't about looking at metrics, it's about talking to people!
The problem is that they are changing the rules. They told me they wouldn't monetize my videos when I uploaded them. I created the content. If they monetize them now, they should pay me for the time and effort of creating and uploading said content, because they are only at their market dominating spot now *exactly* because I gave them my content for free in exchange for the hosting.
I'm pretty sure the median intelligence and the average intelligence are roughly the same here, since we're most probably dealing with something very close to a normal distribution. The assessment that "half the population has below average intelligence" is quite accurate.
If an american talks about living in a free country, I can wonder. They can't even board a public bus with an open beer in their hand. Or share a bottle of wine with friends sitting in town at the river walk.
> To freely paraphrase a famous quote (sorry I forgot who it's attributed to): it's not about strategy; it's about memorizing many famous games and game situations.
This is utter nonsense (probably that's why you "forgot who it's attributed to" - no one with any clue about chess would say so).
I'm just a fide master (two titles below grandmaster), but I feel more than confident enough to beat the average club or tournament player starting from a worse position if I happen to run into a line that they memorized from a book. Feel free to bring the book to the board, if you want to. It will not change the result (it might prolong the game a bit, because it'll help you to avoid some early mistakes).
There are two main differences between stronger and weaker players.
Especially at faster time controls, the difference in tactical ability (i.e. to "look ahead" a few moves by calculating the most likely continuations) is often more visible, stronger players are just faster, and more accurate (an ability that detoriates a bit with age, but we try to make up for it with experience, i.e. calculate "less", but the "right" lines instead).
Strategy: Stronger players instinctively "know" where their pieces want to be, and see a way how to get them there, or they recognize the weak points in the opposing position, and can quickly figure out how to adapt to that.
Javadoc is basically a subset of Doxygen (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doxygen) built into the language. Both came out in the mid-90ies, doxygen a bit after Java, but I don't remember if Doxygen was actually inspired by Javadoc or something else at that time.
Anyway, keeping your documentation inside the code files is not an idea that's limited to the Java language.
Only if you try to be clever. Clever code is small, compact, powerful, and extremly hard to maintain.
Better write some code that is (a bit) more verbose, and most importantly, simple to read. This has the added advantage that it's probably easy to maintain, and hopefully bugfree.
Javascript inside the browser is waaaaay too powerful. It's time to separate it into e.g. and "App-Mode" (for sophisticated Web-Apps) and a "Browser-Mode" where it is really only allowed to do a very narrow set of things, good enough for a rendering content that doesn't require much interaction. Then let the user consciously enable "App-Mode" for each site. If they discover that 90% of the web still works fine (not the case if you run NoScript now), they'll ignore the other 10% and these sites need to adapt.
Gullible.
Depends on the video. I teach integration by parts simply by showing this video (in german, use subtitles if required):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
and following up with some exercises. I have yet to see a student who didn't get it after seeing the video twice (and they all remember the formula, because the song is really catchy!).
Who cares about endianess? It's automagically handled by the htonl, htons, ntohl and ntohs functions.
Great, now you just made me feel old because I remember Motif. Actually, LessTif, because Motif wasn't free software.
Please read up on how CFCs actually react with the Ozone in the atmosphere, and way the ozone destruction is seasonal and very dependent on atmospheric temperature. Then you'll see why the effect over Antartica is stronger than in the northern hemisphere.
Start with your textbooks on atmospheric science (Wallace/Hobbs probably has a chapter on it), or even easier: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The last frontier of the open and free? Call me back when you can do this in america:
USB-C is really nice if you embrace it. I have literally one lead I connect to my laptop when I return to my desk. Off that I get power, my other two monitors, a bunch of USB accessories, including my keyboard and mouse.
What's your exact setup? $$$ Thunderbolt 3 hub? USB3 capable monitors with built in USB-Hub? Can you recommend anything?
I use a (sub $100) portable USB-C hub right now for my peripheral needs, but the thing gets quite hot after a while when I plug in an external monitor. Also, the cable is rather short and I would love to hide it somewhere near the monitor instead, not right next to the laptop.
Remember to say hello to your bank teller.
