What you're describing isn't "intellectual property", it's experience. The company you work for has no legal claim to your experience. Your experience is a personal asset which has value in the market and is a direct reason why a company hires and compensates you to do that job.
This may not be the "best" (not sure if there is a single best), but is pretty well known:

It also has a 20 or 25 year later anniversary edition.

I like his chapter / point about "No silver bullet" in the 2nd edition.

Edit: He (Fred Brooks, the author) was in charge of the OS/360 project (OS for the IBM System 360 mainframe series). A pretty large project of the time - years long.

The cover image is a good analogy - tar pits.
ah, okay.

They got rather strange pricing lately.

Back in the 4.0 days it was like ~$400 for one dev, without support.
Maybe we should instead look another way than constantly try to be evermore efficient?
People can change their mind in even less than 5 months, especially when the context changes dramatically.

Theresa may simply believe that the UK public will not be happy to compromise on immigration even if it means losing the single market. No matters how personally she believes in it. She needs to deliver what the UK public wants.

Of course, she could start by trying to explain how bad it would be without the single market, but that line of thinking has been used and abused for month leading up to the referendum and then after, and still now. There is no point adding a layer.

At the end of the day, regardless the circumstances even staying in the EU, she cannot be sure to be able to deliver prosperity. There is no vindication by the number for her at the end of the tunnel. The economy will not boom like China in the 90's, those days are over. Even staying in the EU, the UK is not protected from another 2007 crisis.

So she can't deliver on prosperity but she can deliver on immigration control, and that also happen to be the number 1 concern of her population and so that's simply what she must do rather what she would want to do.
1- small offices. 2 or 3 persons in the same team (working on the same stuff). If you have small offices with two teams in (eg. 2x2 persons), calls and discussions of one team will crash the productivity of the other team.

2- remote work. Having teleworkers in the teams is a great way to reduce the motivation of direct communication, since that would put remote workers out of the loop.

3- Instead use IRC, email and newsgroups, or any other good way (is Slack a good way? Can it be used from emacs?) to communicate both synchronously and asynchronously remotely, even if to ask a question to your co-worker two meters away. A lot of advantages are to be obtained by using those on-line communication channels: each programmer can manage how and when he's interrupted, even for synchronous channels like IRC; there are written traces of discussions, which help avoid talking again and again on the same topics.

(And on the topic of irc, I would note also that psychologically, reading questions and answering on irc eg. during compiles, is not as much an interruption as doing the same orally, since you do it in the same man-machine communication mode and even using the same editor (emacs), as for programming, instead of switching to a human-human interaction mode).

4- obviously, no direct access from customers to programmers. Or at least, unregulated direct access. There may be good reasons to have your programmers meet your customers, but this should be in organized meetings.

5- if you have to have meetings: 1- make sure they are short (very difficult! Try standing meetings). 2- gather them on the same time period, so to leave large periods of time uninterrupted by meetings.

6- and in the most dire circumstances, you may organize a absolutely no interrupt, no call, no meeting day each week, so your programmers may work at least one day a week.
That's how it works in the US, most of the time a non-compete is entirely unenforceable.
How to Use Google Cloud Storage with Golang (with a Google Cloud Rant Thrown In)
What is so good about Umbraco?
Autofocus is also a fairly important reason. The Autofocus in SLRs uses many dedicated AF points with a secondary mirror that connects to the phase detection sensor. This is faster and more accurate than what is used with Live view. In live view, Contrast Detect is used, which in most cases is still slower and less accurate, especially as the available light falls off (either from a darker environment, or from a lens with a smaller maximum aperture).

Lenses are a big factor too, at a certain point you are limited by the maximum resolution of the glass/sapphire/flourine whatever. High resolution / sensor area cameras run into this issue. larger lenses allow for larger sensors, which means lower demands on the glass. Typically, SLR lenses are nicer in the first place, or at least have higher end products available. For very high-end photography, you still see medium format cameras for this reason.
I suggest that the title be changed to

More accurate.
Fidelity and ergonomics. In addition to a DSLR I also use a Fujifilm X-E1 with an electronic viewfinder. It's much preferable (IMO) to hold a viewfinder near my eye, blocking out external light, with my elbows stabilized against my body than to hold an LCD panel out in space squinting to see the image in bright sun.

In addition, although I use the X-E1 a lot for travel, the DSLR's optical viewfinder is still superior optically and the camera as a whole is faster, more responsive, etc.--in part because it's bigger and the designers have more space to work with.

I do think we're headed toward a point where electronic viewfinders will tend to replace optical ones but I doubt we'll replace looking through viewfinders.
I'm not sure whether you mean importing files from Dropbox/GDrive to Notion or vice versa! Neither is possible, as far as I'm aware.

You /can/ have it grab a file from a link - if you can get the raw file link from Dropbox (maybe the share link?), you can import files that way.

They seem to be adding features at a very high clip, so it's also possible to just ask them and it wouldn't surprise me if they added it within a few weeks.
So with ComVer any bug fix is considered a feature?

Say I've got version 1.8.0 and I address a few bug fixes but no new features, with SemVer it would be 1.8.1, but ComVer it would be 1.9?

I wonder whether this technique could be adapted to produce a something like a digital equivalent of the Fuji/Hasselblad XPan camera, or a 617 camera (with an aspect ratio of about 3:1).
The stumbling block with conventional sensors is that no one wants to commit to a production run of an odd shape of sensor.
Could you explain why? What do you recommend instead?

Nope, sorry, I'm fully focused on the SaaS model. If it helps at all, I've tried to remove as many concerns as I can associated with storing these kind of things in something cloud-based. See the list of pledges on the homepage, and the privacy policy.
Interesting. I'd always heard it was due to right to work, but after researching it a little bit more it's just how non-competes are handled in my state (South Carolina).

http://www.scnoncompetelawyer.com/

"A covenant not to compete will be upheld only if it is:

(1) necessary for the protection of the legitimate interest of the employer;

(2) reasonably limited in its operation with respect to time and place;

(3) not unduly harsh and oppressive in curtailing the legitimate efforts of the employee to earn a livelihood;

(4) reasonable from the standpoint of sound public policy; and

(5) supported by a valuable consideration.

* * * *

If a covenant not to compete is defective in one of the above referenced areas, it is totally defective and cannot be saved."
Well family killings yeah, but honor killings are a specific category since they are almost unilaterally target women who "dishonored" the family for expressing their agency.

Not saying they are inherently worse than any other tragedy they are just well defined.
I don't see anything even slightly objectionable, unless ajmurmann were throwing around billions and helping regulate to ensure continuing rising sea levels. This poster is obviously viewing it as an inevitable externality and asking how they can invest profitably. They mention investing in higher land - but since coastal properties will literally disappear underwater, there could be other ways to profit. Additionally, solar power (which might be heavily subsidized), electric cars, even something insane like fusion-powered electric airplanes (a pipe dream, it's ridiculous) would all be reasonable answers. I mention the airplane thing as jetliners are a leading cause of Co2 emissions which is thougth responsible for this rising sea level. -- as literally trillions of dollars in seaside property become uninhabitable due to flooding (literally trillions, this is not an exaggeration) society might decide to instead spend $10,000,000,000,000 (that's $10 trillion) to halt it today. It's reasonable for OP to ask how given that society will be feeling a push to spend $10,000,000,000,000 - how he/she can be better off with this analysis done today.

Zero objection and there is no moral component whatsoever to their question.

EDIT:

I'd like someone to explain the downvoting behavior (of my comment). As multiple of my examples show, the investment can be in alternative energy, for example, when obscene expanses of valuable coastland are being flooded and people are simply 'forced' to act. I don't understand why the question or my defense of it were downvoted.
There was a study[1] done in Denmark which showed that while the large population would refrain from engaging in political debates on facebook (me included, I simply don't have the patience), the ones who did often found that their views could be changed.

Why does some software development take so little time?

My suggestion for the answer is that when the goal of the software project is selected carefully in the context of the surrounding ecosystem you can connect a few things and all the real magic was in picking the goal.

When instead you pick the goal and then figure out how to achieve it, who would be surprised that there is often more work involved after picking the goal?
In addition to every one else:

>I have local knowledge regarding both my costs and my benefits from signing a non-compete contract.

No, you don't. The non-competes don't cost you anything until an uncertain time in the future. Unless you can predict the labor market that will exist when/if you leave the company (and you can't) you can't actually know what the cost will be.

RE 2) mirror-less cameras now use hybrid focus - both contrast and phase detection, also they have much more focus points to work with.
Plus shooting speed should also be quicker in mirror-less (not sure if super high-end DSLR is still close) - sony a6000 gives you 11 fps of continuous shooting rate
There are languages that use a denser notation than Python for the same number of syntactic elements, but I don't think many allow you to express the same things in fewer elements. It's famous for looking like pseudocode, which suggests it contains exactly the information that humans need to communicate.

The situation exists throughout the US. One can, as far as I know, get anywhere in Pennsylvania that the turnpike will take you without using the turnpike. It will just take a fair bit longer to do so.
With the companies I've experienced, I try very hard to hate the game, not the player. With that said, there's only so many buzzwords, tee shirts under sportcoats, sizing-me-up-and-letting-me-know meetings, assumptions that I'll work for free, emails and conference call gcal invites on federal holidays (like Christmas Day), and more that I can take. Primarily, the peacocking and existential fear to fit in has crippled nearly all the would-be CEOs of actual companies (that turn a profit, even of the ramen variety). Instead, the one round of seed capital (whether its with the suits over in California or daddy's golf friends) tends to get to their head.

I've often thought of becoming my own boss out of spite, but I'm a little too inexperienced and don't quite have my own idea fleshed out to put my whole life on hold just yet. I like the show Silicon Valley, but they tend to (obviously) over-exaggerate the stereotype of start-up types. There's a very real undercurrent of the schoolyard need to "fit in" that weaves through most startup-y people, and the closer I get to it all, the funnier it is.
It's a long time since I wrote much C but Linus' version seems like idiomatic C to me. The use of pointers in C is an ordinary thing and those who write a lot of C should be fluent in their use.

It's interesting to apply the same technique to other languages. I have to use VB.net most of the time so here are implementations of the tasteless and tasteful versions in VB (untested so there might be bugs). Even in VB the tasteful version is shorter and, I think, clearer.

The alternative way of looking at it is that there is a good reason for many of the societal practices we observe - it's just that it's not you who profits. Considering the number of defenders of non-competes, it seems that the propaganda works very nicely.

Guesstimate: spreadsheet for things that aren't certain
If you were delivering very similar projects several times (in which case you should be reusing existing code anyway), estimates would be a lot easier and more accurate. As most software projects are using a combination of tools, people, requirements etc. that have never been combined before, accurate estimates are always going to be difficult.

I routinely read that estimates get better with experience. The only way I see this as true is in that you learn to broaden your estimates the more risk that is involved, not that you eventually are able to give accurate and narrow estimates.

>I feel like the safe space culture we see on college campuses today only hurts our youth and prevents them from being able to maturely process dissenting opinions.

Planets are far more common than we thought a little while ago. I assume that makes alien life likely to be far more common too. As our technology improves, such as pattern recognition and signal processing, I also would guess that we can search far faster and more effectively and that our search speed and accuracy will quickly improve.

Per Wikipedia, FWIW:

A 2013 study based on results from the Kepler spacecraft estimated that the Milky Way contains at least as many planets as it does stars, resulting in 100–400 billion exoplanets

When does it become critical, and not an interesting intellectual exercise, to decide whether we want to find alien life and what to do if such a thing happens.

(The discussion is well-worn, that it could be beneficial and that it could be catastrophic, either due to superior technology, disease, or the endless unexpected possibilities.)

>And men have conscription in 2016.

The only 2 western countries that still have conscription which are Norway (non compulsory conscription but still an active one nonetheless) and Israel treat men and women equally in this regard.

That said as far as conflict goes there are biological reasons to favor men on average they are considerably stronger and while it's not pleasant to hear they are not as important for the reproductive cycle as women.
One man can impregnate virtually an unlimited amount of women especially with IVF while on the other hand women are effectively the reproductive bottleneck of our species, hence the side that loses a larger population of it's women would be at a great disadvantage.
And while this might not be consciously being considered like many things unconsciously this is a pretty important factor - "save the women and children first" isn't some old fashioned patriarchal gender role, this is just an outcome of a biological constraint that affects us as a species.

EDIT: As the poster below me gracefully reminded I forgot about the Swiss.
It doesn't really, unless you overgeneralize your solution (just like the rhetorical question in the title) and make wrong toolset choices.

20 years ago we also had fewer choices, hence fewer bug-ridden abstraction layers and moving targets. We mastered one programming environment and target platform, both were much less complex than what we have today. We could also tack something together quickly in an awkward way without putting the code on a world-visible platform as part of our resume. Also, more precautions are necessary today, like security, general code quality (no more tricks that work only on one compiler).
Rape culture? In the west? Explain. Rape incidents have never been lower in America than in the last few years, as shown by fbi.gov and other governmental intitutes. And this despite many efforts of encouraging victims of rape to speak out. And despite the fact that falsely accusing someone of rape has no repercussions whatsoever.
