"Do you know what correlates more than anything else with undesirable codebase properties? The size of the codebase."
Well yeah, more code means more bad code. I'm interested to know whether more code means proportionally more bad code. If not, his statement doesn't mean much.
Is there any research into differences between people with a "mind's eye" and those without? (learned skills, chosen professions, natural aptitudes, whether it's genetic, etc)
All along, I've assumed this "mind's eye" ability was integral to being a human being.
How it is integral? (I have aphantasia). I don’t see anything in my daily life that would require the capability of visually representing events of the past. I remember the facts and circumstances, and even some visual “contours” or traces, but it is a far cry from seeing a picture like I see the reality.
I assumed, past tense, that it was integral, and with this new information I realize it is not integral, and now I'm curious about it.
(technically: I never heard anyone say they could not do this until now, but I have heard people say they CAN do this (including me). So as far as I knew all my N sample size of humans was positive for this, or at least not negative, previously indicating to me that the ability is "integral" to being human.)
Do these transformations leave any discrepancy or signature in the video or audio that would be detectable by a machine? (So, tiny, tiny discrepancies might work.) Someone could make a browser plugin to alert the user when video/audio has a good chance of being fake.
If software can identify it as fake, another can be improved till that isn't the case anymore. This is actually being used, search Generative Adversarial Network for more info and background.
Depends on what you mean by older. You have less time because you chose to have less time. Let's ignore 40 hours for work and 56 hours for sleep, the rest is based on choices you made along the way. Could be kids or commitments or location demands or _____, but the scarcity of time does not change with age, it changes with the accumulation of decisions that consume that time.
I wish there was only 40 hours for work. At my current place 45-50 is more common. Add another 10-12 hours of commuting, at least 2-3 hours for personal grooming (and my wife is probably double that), and exercise/stretching which becomes increasingly important as you age. So, yes, there is little time for hobbies after accounting for my kids, my wife, the dog, the housework, etc.
It seems absolutely ridiculous to assert you're the only one on Earth that can talk with authority about "a correlation between music and watchmaking." You don't need to be a highly successful musician turned master watchmaker to talk intelligently about that. There are surely many other people that know a lot about both music and watchmaking. For example, just me, n size 1, I have a friend who formally studied music and collects high end watches as a hobby and has built his own geared watch. I'm sure he could comment intelligently on this question. Not really understanding the downvotes here.
It didn't seem like he was saying "yeah I guess I do have a really rare perspective", it seemed like he was literally saying "I'm the only one." Maybe he's even the best person in the world to ask, if you could only ask one person. But the only one? Maybe his comment was playful/less literal, but it didn't come off that way to me.
"How much better are you really going to get at Python after spending 1 year, 5 years and 10 years with it? Surely at some point you're just learning obscure tricks or the ins and outs of libraries that are going to be outdated in a year or two anyway?"
Well said. Looks like no one else is expressing this; I completely agree.
Well yeah, more code means more bad code. I'm interested to know whether more code means proportionally more bad code. If not, his statement doesn't mean much.
