Talk:Continuous design

message: This article is inaccurate.  Continuous design was not created by MartinFowler.  It's also called "evolutionary design" or "incremental design," both of which were popularized by ExtremeProgramming.  Continuous design is a possibly more accurate term because continuous design consists of designing continuously throughout software development rather than all up-front (in the WaterfallModel) or in bursts at the beginning of each iteration (as in the IterativeModel).  It's characterized by constant TestDrivenDevelopment and Refactoring.
MartinFowler wrote a popular, and excellent, book called "Refactoring" as well as a popular article entitled "Is Design Dead?" that talked about continuous/evolutionary design.  As Design column editor for IEEE, he published an article titled "Continuous Design" by Jim Shore (me).  MartinFowler is certainly a person with close ties to continuous design, but it wouldn't be fair to say that he created it.
Hopefully this information will allow someone to flesh out the article a bit more.  I don't have the energy to put this in proper encyclopedia form right now.  :)

The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals.  So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely,      — The Transhumanist    07:49, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Talk:List of state trunk highways in Wisconsin

message: Is it Wisconsin State Highway 10 or Wisconsin Highway 10? :-) —Rob (talk) 19:33, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Neither. It's US-10. Or in verbose form, "U.S. Highway 10." If, however, your question was regarding the standard naming convention for Wisconsin's state trunk highways and, more specifically, the non-U.S. Highways and non-Interstate Highways, that would officially by "State Trunk Highway xx", as in "State Trunk Highway 11." Obviously, the verbose form is almost never used and you generally see the common abbreviated form, "STH-11." In common speech, however, Wisconsinites say "Highway 11" for STH-11, but then again, they also say "Highway 41" for US-41, "Highway C" for (County Trunk Highway) CTH-C, and sometimes even "Highway 94" for I-94.

Talk:Chiranjivi

message: I have read an explanation of this in the Malayalam book Bharata Paryatanam (A journey through the Mahabharata) by the scholar and author Kuttikrishana Marar which was a winner of the Kendra Sahitya Academy Award in the 1970s.
The idea is that a chiranjeevi in the Hindu mythology is not one who won't die, but that they represent seven different natures/characteristics which will stay with the mankind for ever. Marar mentions this only in passing, so we have work out most of them for ourselves.
Each of the seven immortals stands for one of these :
*Hanuman - servility
*Ashwathama- senseless spirit of retribution, even when he has nothing to get out of it.
*Vibhishana - the back-stabber
*Bali (demon) - the one who lands up in trouble trying to be helpful, and doesn't change his character even when he knows he is going to land up in one
*Kripa - the gutless one who knows what is right but hasn't got the courage to stick with it and relents when pulled in the other direction (as when Ashwathama wanted him to co-operate in murdering the remainder of the Pandava army)
*Parashurama - one who acts before thinking and then repents.
*Vyasa - not sure.
If this looks interesting, shall I incorporate in the article ? Tintin 06:01, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

:Not usually, unless some chemical or mechanical effect affects the grain boundaries differently than the bulk.

Talk:Lake Karum

message: It's odd that there would be two lakes with the same name in the same part of the world; & so inevitably, I confused them.
* Lake Asal in Djibouti. This is the one Warofdreams created the original article about. It is the lowest point in Africa -- which is surprising because a glance at the map will show a large area below sea level along the Ethiopia-Eritrean border, far to the north. I added "{Djibouti)" to the name of this one to further dismabiguate it. Move to the simpler name if you think the added clarification is unneeded.
* Lake Assale in Ethiopia. The northern one of a pair of lakes in this large area (the southern one is Lake Afrera); & close to a record hot spot: Dillol, where the average temperature is 34 °C.  A carefully-phrased Google query will find this Lake Assale in Ethiopia, but the Djiboutian one is far easier to find. So I renamed this one Lake Karum, although a query on Google won't find it under that name.
