Why We're Bad at Estimating Time (and What to Do About It)

psychoslave

Leaders are necessary.

Sure, where would be biological lifeforms today if hadn’t been driven by some visionary leaders. Ooops? But I mean, now that humanity provide great leaders, biosphere is thriving like never before. Reooops?

What do you mean with testable in a fraction of time?

Generated tests can help, and if we go into that direction we can now certainly afford to introduce more proven code (Lean/Roq/Frama-C…), but that will still not be wild reality proof until it faces the whole user base and their widely different environments.

And large load of code is still large load of code.

You people are just racist towards Russians and need help.

That doesn’t exclude the statements about Telegram to be correct though. That is, if some hater against whatever group say 1+1=2 or water is wet, what’s the conclusion?

You can do similar attacks on signal and whatsapp.

Well yes. Don’t trust devices, they are not humans, they don’t qualify. They can at most have some degree of reliance for some purpose. But assuming that all devices out there are powned by some external parties is a rather sound security baseline approach.

Why is it that the Russian one bothers you so much?

One don’t need to bother more on any specific oligarchy really, they all use their fellow humans like disposable pawns.

If we would be able to act that consciously, humanity would be flourishing without anyone sent to war or starvation.

It doesn't look like we are that bright, at least collectively. And if they are individual which are really above everyone else on that matter and the rest, like maybe you but definitely not me, then their individual power seems to be unable to move us all away from our collective ill habits.

That looks like a nice feat, can you share a repo?

That said, reality at scale always come with details that will break the model, and the main roads when it happens are to ignore/reject any change proposal in the model, go in the mystic quest to reach a model that will fit it all including these new cases with an elegant simple solution, or accommodate special cases on the side until it grows too big or just percolate too fast in the main part to let it be sustainable.

SVN was damn slow and working with branches was a hell.

Git sucks on so many points that there ain't be enough walls in the world to write our lamentations about it. But it's damn fast. If I have a doubt, I just create a backup branch before messing with the work at stake, and the bottleneck will be the time I take to type the command.

And I don't know if SVN had some advanced mode to do any branch in local, but in my frightening memories full of scarces, one had to synchronize everything to the central repo to do anything.

strictly ban any kind of political bias.

Any attempt to ban political bias will reveal huge political bias.

Now I don’t mean all political biases are equal, or that all biases are absolutely wrong. Of course my biases are better™. But this days it looks like even stating that genocides are bad™ is not as consensual as it used to be in Europe over the last few decades, so what do I know.

The article topic is interesting, but the example it picks to illustrate deserve the purpose a bit. There isn’t any text editor that is really invisible. Dæmons/services are invisible. Copy-paste single clipboard is invisible. Switching displayed context is invisible.

Probably becoming skilled at using Sublime afterward become nice in some cases, but personally I never achieved the cumbersome of integrating multiple text pointers in my habits. In the rare occasion it feels like it might be useful, I know I will need to look at what are the keyboard dance moves again, and by the time I go search for it, my brain already generated several ready to go alternative paths to achieve the change. And I don’t even know if it can do things out of the box like `:grep pattern-to-select-buffer | g!:pattern-line-to-exclude:s:initial-string:target-string:g | update`. That’s already awesomely powerful for this level of granularity.

But that’s a rare case where to make the tool shine: most editor deal with full literal substitution just as well (if not better in term of UI), more complex refactors will be better dealt with with whatever decent modern IDE, and whatever more cases that want would want to cover using some more advanced macro is probably going to be just as easy to deal with a bespoke script.

Also Sublime is not everywhere. Nor is Vim or Emacs to be clear (as soon as you are outside of a Unix lineaged box). Though probably if one need to ssh in some remote box `vi` will most likely be an option, even busybox integrate one. But we are no longer talking about whole contemporary project edition here of course.

Still the underlying point is nice to highlight, melting it with editor war didn’t make it a favor.

More often than not, good people too. And there are a lot of them. But a single unrepresentative person yelling in the room is all it takes to break stillness of quiet exchanges.

Hey thanks for teaching me a word today, and to be finicky myself, the convention seems to be to use a single n it. :)

Someone already replied about "nerf", which I learned recently myself reading some comments here. And when I find words new to me, my first personal reaction is rather to check for it in online resources like Wikitionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/nerf#Verb_2

Don’t get it wrong: asking for clarifications is also a perfectly legitimate way to learn. And you often get more than initial expectation in that way. But if you ever fall in a case where you don’t get a reply or the reply don’t help, remember you are not powerless in finding some answers through online resources.

So, expressed a bit differently the initial response stated something like "it’s not always easy to avoid downgrading many other interesting and legit possibility of a device when trying to tweak it so it becomes less dangerous in some terrible scenario it could be involved into."

Let me know if it’s making the response more clear to you like that, please.
