If there’s nothing more to it, what place does it have in a self-help book, or in any book? Why bother saying it? What interest should it hold for me? This continual argument I hear from people that he’s just “describing how things are” seems self-defeating - it makes him sound as boring as someone who goes around saying “the sky is blue, the sun is hot”. Yeah, and? So what? There’s no point engaging with or listening to someone who says “Femininity is linked with chaos. I’m not implying anything by that, and my argument should have no bearing on anything. I’m just saying that’s the way it is.” I don’t believe Peterson IS saying that, though - I think it’s just a convenience for him and most of his fans to be able to claim that he’s said nothing at all except raw falsifiable statements which might be wrong (but if they’re wrong it doesn’t matter anyway because they don’t mean anything). Why bother linking the concepts to gender? Well, it looks like the main reason is that it offends people, and some people seem to find that worthwhile in and of itself.

Read the originators of Peterson’s ideas. They certainly thought their statements about gender, archetypes, psychology, etc had deep meaning and informed how things ‘should be’, not merely how they are (of course, simply saying ‘this is how things are’ and nothing else can be an expression of deep conservatism, which is how many interpret Peterson - this is how things are AND YOU CAN’T CHANGE THEM, so just act in accordance with them).
Haha now I know it’s an Easter egg I have to say that’s a genius idea.

If I just 'sit back and think' I wouldn't use Emacs at all.

I believe at least for Emacs people use it because it's an interactive environment like Slime. With this kind of interactiveness, I can think by playing with the code. Just like sketching with a pencil instead of a pen.

Most of the time 'sit back and think' doesn't work because if your business model is dynamic you have to break your existing design and refactor, unless you are just solving a problem in a small generic domain. At least for OO languages. That's something IDEs are used for.

> What's the point of investing the money into education if the people study in poor countries and then move to the rich countries?

The point is to make people happy. That people that emigrates has an opportunity that would have never had. Some of them will come back bringing other countries knowledge.

That doesn't mean that you are wrong. "Brain draining" is a real problem.

I like the logic of "What if we train our employees and they leave? What if we don't and they stay?"
> ...takes about ~6 months and it's not a pretty process.

This fact is clearly expressed in the UK contractor market which seems to consistently pay a 2x premium over salaried employees. Whilst some of this premium may be based on skills I'd wager a lot of it is buying the right to end employment at short notice (either due to poor performance, or simply in response to changing business requirements making the role obsolete).

> Developers who don't write any tests are often the most productive.

This should not pass code review. If it doesn't have tests then it's a landmine for other programmers in the future, since they can break it without realising - possibly entirely indirectly, such as through a library change.

The most "productive" techniques I've seen are all metaprogramming - assemble something which matches the domain well and use that to produce a large volume of code from specification-as-data.

(Oddly, the only area where nobody bothers to do automated integration testing in my experience is embedded code, possibly because it's too hard to set up)
In my opinion NoScript is the single most powerful security tool for the home user. It's a shame they've rendered it nearly unusable with the new UI. I don't know why it's a trend with developers these days to turn readable menus into oversimplified buttons/icons. I have to rely on tooltips just to work my Gmail and that's ridiculous.

The touchscreen is not the part I’m expecting to become obsolete (?).

Many of the devices in cars currently have bugs, poor interface, slow performance, and are generally inferior to modern phones. So, continuing to perform as they do now is not a relief.

It’s like having a phone from 2014 built into ... uh, your car. I’ve upgraded my real phones and tablets 3-4 times since then, despite that the old ones still functioned same as they did when new.

One example is that it’s difficult to pair iPhones with some cars from a few years ago. What happens when software updates make me unable to connect to the Bluetooth in my car? I doubt that Ford or GM is going to release a timely update.

You might ask: why do people upgrade computing devices that still function?
> And if they don't tell me why I have to listen to them, I won't.

They might just be lying. "But they wrote in their intro that they are an expert" isn't a good way to determine whether they are an expert on the topic imho.

It's very useful when you want to pass something by reference into a function that takes a varadic template parameters and uses perfect forwarding, i.e. https://godbolt.org/z/xlmwFw

template <typename... Args> void foo( Args&&... args ) {
whiz( std::forward<Args>( args )... );
}

...

int i = 5;
double k = 2.3;

foo( std::ref( i ), k ); // take i by ref, k by value

I've also seen it a lot with std::thread, and basically anything else that takes a callable/functor where the developer chose not to use lambda's with reference captures.

Would agree that it isn't a major language feature, but I would expect competent developers to at least know about it and why you would want to/have to use it (if they had worked with a compiler that had >=C++11 support).

The control group was exposed to the actual disease at the same rate than the treatment group. The idea is that both groups get almost the same treatment.

If the groups are big enough, you expect from statistic that both groups would have a similar number of ill people without treatment and a similar number and type of "sede effect"without treatment. So the difference can be atribute to the drug/vaccine, if statistically significant.

A study were all the participants are exposed on purpose to the disease is very difficult to justify, with or without control group. Perhaps a vaccine for a strain of cold, that is an illness with a very low rate of deadly complications?

I disagree. If I’m porting a shell script to another language then I would want to use as much native code as possible rather than shelling out. Sure, it takes a little more effort, but the output is more idiomatic code that runs faster (fork() is slow).
The sexual-marketplace is not good advice on how to behave, but there is aspects of truth to acknowledge that humans are somewhat similar to tournament species where a smaller percentage of men have children compared to women. The semi-accurate 20/80 means that social status has a very direct impact on the probability that a man has children, and a sad aspect of human culture is the tendency for men to be rewarded with social status for cultural correct aggression.

But we are also somewhat similar to pair bonding species. I would not describe it as an outlier or unusual, but rather two different biological strategies that is expressed through genes and culture. Researchers has even found some specific genes that is linked to predicting it, and women and men who has more of the pair-bonding associated genes have longer and happier relationships.

Being aware of both strategies and knowing there is a biological aspect to it is useful information, but strictly following one is foolish. We are human with human brains so individuals will behave uniquely even if there is a bias when averaged over a population.

It isn't fair to blame euro for Italy's troubles.

You should rather look at poor governance:

* high public debt and as a consequence high percentage [over 3%] of GDP going for public debt servicing. [Just stop and think about it - Italy is spending on debt servicing the same percentage of GDP that US is spending on military]

* failure at attracting foreign greenfield investments

* one of lowest percentage of youths with university degree [below 30% - 44% OECD average]

* poor education system [2015 OECD PISA lower then US which means very bottom]

* low productivity at Italy's many small enterprises.

Italy failed at adapting it's economy to globalization age. And the blame should go to Italy's political class not EU.

> So... is there some way to have both the benefits of multiple currencies and a single one?

Look at the USA as an example. The difference with the EU is that the USA are vastly more homogeneous and I believe there is very little opposition to redistribute wealth from richer to poorer states. The EU is fragmented, almost nobody wants a tight political and fiscal integration. What would be of the USA if state governors were much more powerful than the federal president, to the point that few people would know who the president is and what he can do? This is the state of the EU.
Another major factor was the debt of each members after joining the euro:

"All members past debts were in their home currency, including Germany. Upon joining the Euro, the past debts were also converted to the Euro because their old currencies were abandoned. What I mean by international value is if you look at the debts of all member states, when the euro doubled in value from 80 cents to the US dollar to $1.60, from a US investor, he doubled his money holding Greek debt or any member’s debt. We can see that the dollar rose sharply against the drachma between 1995 going into 1999 demonstrating that the drachma declined 47% going into the formation of the euro. The cost of servicing the past debt rises in real terms and when they had to pay off the debt and roll into new debt, they were paying in international value more than it was worth upon joining the euro.Back during the Reagan Administration, I met with the U.S. Treasury and warned that Volcker raising rates to 14% meant he was suppressing inflation immediately, but causing it to exponentially rise by the end of the decade. Why? Because central banks cannot stimulate or suppress and economy with interest rates when the government is the biggest borrower. Whatever they think they are doing by raising rates to stop people from borrowing has no impact upon government for they will always spend other people’s money freely. In that meeting, I was flatly told it was OK because the government would be paying back with cheaper dollars. In this case, the rise in the euro to $1.60 meant the opposite – member states would be contracting and had to pay out huge sums beyond what they originally owed. This was no different from people who took out Swiss loans and then the Swiss franc/euro peg broke. Suddenly the borrowers owed a lot more in their home currency when the Swiss rallied.

Consequently, the past debt of Greece was in drachma and the decline in the currency meant that its debt in terms of dollars (international value terms) fell almost by 50%. Upon joining the euro, the past debt was then converted to euro – not before. Therefore, in international terms of value, the debts effectively doubled in real terms. This would NOT have been a problem had all the debt of member states been consolidated into a federal debt for Europe. Thereafter, any new borrowing would have been purely state debt NOT acceptable for reserves in the banking system.

In this manner, the past debt, which does not stimulate the immediate economic position, doubled in real terms and increased the cost of servicing the past debt. This is how the economy was strip-mined. Had the debt been consolidated into one federal debt, that burden would have been relieved upon by member states. This would have allowed the euro to then actually compete against the dollar."

I use WebStorm/IntelliJ/Rider/VS+Resharper at work. And use Emacs off work, occasionally use WebStorm/Rubymine. Recently I picked up VSCode and I think it's good.

For most of the functionalities, I think WebStorm still won.
But VSCode typescript completion is great. WebStorm typescript completion is somewhat strange.

However, the mindset of WebStorm follows IntelliJ, of course. You cannot switch projects or single file as simple as code editors. Although it can be achieved but it still feels weird. IntelliJ is constantly trying to improve this like scratches, but it will be still different from code editors.

And something off topic, I found IntelliJ/WebStorm is pretty much following Emacs for a lot of features. Like the VSC system is very alike Magit and they deprecated their RestClient and use an editor-based approach just like Emacs RestClient, or simply scratches. Seems a very good strategy to copy from Emacs community at least for MVP.
Any fucker not writing tests is more productive in the short term, but in the long term risks your entire business. Unless your business is getting hired by marketing directors who want pretty demos to laud over their internal developers, in which case you practically have to write garbage to hit the deadline (not your fault; fault of the internal devs for not quitting instead of working for a twat).

But on the bigger issue, correlation is not causation.

Many new developers start with an IDE because. So you’ll see a lot of inexperienced developers using an IDE. On the other hand, back in the day, if I wanted to have any chance of editing this file on the arse end of a 9600baud dumb terminal then vi is the answer. So there are old bastards still programming, who therefore have a ton of experience, who use vim.

Does using vim make you a good coder? Fuck no. Does using an IDE make you a bad coder. Also no.

I use an IDE. I’ve used an IDE since ‘92. Then it was slick edit on OS/2, at a company working on some of the hard bits of supermarket system, and everyone used it. One of the best programmers I know uses vim. However every other best programmer I know uses an IDE. I suspect the vim guy is wired differently. So if vim seems right to you then use it. If an IDE works then use that. Anyone tells you you aren’t a proper coder unless you use vim or emacs or edlin then they are telling you that they are a pretentious twat. My friend who uses vim will not tell you to use vim. He’ll tell you why he likes it.

But write fucking tests.
