Comment Artificial and arbitrary to the extreme (Score 1) 522

So some CTO decides to take a visual arts litmus test which admittedly does not work, modify it in arbitrary ways, and then apply it to the software engineering field to determine whether or not a project will fail.

Comment Not a diet, but a lifestyle change (Score 5, Insightful) 496

If you "go on a diet" you are defeated before you even start.

.
If you want to lose weight, you have to go into the process with the goal of changing your lifestyle permanently, otherwise the weight will return when you finish the diet.

Go into the weight loss process with the right mindset - a permanent change of what and how you eat, along with any changes in your activity regimen.

The reason most people regain the wieght they lose on a diet is that they view a diet as something temporary, which it is.

Don't go on a diet (Hacker's Diet or otherwise), but do make a permanent change to your lifestyle.

So the headline should read...

Malware that was installed on computers uses light to send data to other computers similarly loaded with malware.

But that doesn't make for a page-hit-generating headline.

Who cares. If it can drive for six months out of the year that's still an improvement...

You make the huge assumption that people will still know how to drive. And, if they do know how to drive, that they will remember enough after six months of not driving to be able to drive safely in the winter.

.
People who drive year-round still have difficulties driving safely in the winter.
