This happens all the time. People aren't stupid, and often do this. I will seriously answer your question of what happens.

They will be told to shut up, because they haven't listened to the requirements. No one will want to hear it on that call. They will be told it's the wrong audience.

If they push forward, they'll have a conversation with a lot of people after the meeting about how they aren't being helpful.

They'll be told to have a separate meeting with others to validate it. Then in that meeting, those people will rip it to shreds, and indicate that it needs to conform to X Y Z... The PM will then work with you to go through when what actions will be done...

Then they'll schedule new meetings. On and on.. Nothing will change.

I've tried it, and seen it tried. It doesn't work.

You go through the process, or you create even more bullshit red-tape for yourself, and you're seen as a loose cannon no one trusts.
Yes, it was unfortunate I didn't get more data/information back from them :(
> I don't understand, who should define such abstractions?

The language designer.

> If you're the JIT developer and you define a value encoding that supports all possible values (so that the JITed function never has to be rolled back), then you can't really optimize.

Obviously, the solution is to know the types of values ahead of time. This is precisely where a language with more precise abstractions can make the lives of implementors easier.
Why do you expect Elsevier to subsidize a for-profit enterprise?
They are "dangers" only when your neighbors don't have them. When the whole world has success, plenty, comfort and ever-increasing leisure, there's little reason for anyone to become agitated and attack someone.

At least until we run into an agitated alien species with better toys than us.
I didn't say they don't require publication, only that they aren't paying for it.

Plenty of Elsevier titles offer open access for a fee now. And PLOS and co are putting pressure to reduce margins.

I don't think it's bad enough that something illegal needs to be done to force it to fix itself.

And I've asked before: if Elsevier slashed all their prices by 30%, would people be happy with it? If the answer is no, then they aren't only complaining about profit.
You are right. I meant to say understeer. I changed it. Thanks for pointing this out.
Even Gmail, what I would consider a gold standard, only allows letters, numbers, and periods. So when you're done accusing me of not being someone viable for a position anywhere important maybe you should send a message outlining the same argument to Google.
Depends -- If a model has a bunch of body styles and only the most popular is tested, then the manufacturer can skimp on the designs or constructions of the versions that don't get tested.

Ford did this with the 2015 Ford F-150: http://blog.caranddriver.com/iihs-2015-ford-f-150-crash-test...

"""[…] the SuperCrew’s body cage remained “largely intact” with a “low risk of injuries,” the group said. The smaller F-150 SuperCab pickup (pictured at top) scored “marginal” due to “significant intrusion” of the passenger cabin, as the dashboard and steering wheel came “dangerously close” to the dummy’s chest. Since the A-pillars buckled and other body components “seriously compromised the driver’s survival space,” the IIHS rated this F-150’s structure as “poor,” which is below “marginal” and the group’s worst rating."""

I really thought where you were going here was not about zoning, but was going to be "We have to decide, as a society, if we want to undo a couple centuries' worth of public health regulations because it makes some guy with an app money... "
PM would be higher than that. There'd also be a Manager above the PM scheduled some days as well.

And the security, analytics, and monitoring are probably all smaller specifics days for individual experts.

Point is though, you're thinking the right way on it. Very reasonable.
That problem would be solved by making the app very unstable and require constant restarts ;)
Yeah, when I got back into C64 computing a couple years ago, I was blown away at how much was still happening. I've got a MIDI interface and synth program on a cartridge (MSSIAH) and an SD card "hard drive" SD2IEC, which provides faster and more storage than even the most elaborate C64 setup back in the day (and I knew people with CMD hard disks, who ran large BBSes on their C64s, including a multiline C64 BBS, which was quite a feat back then, requiring multiple computers).
It's a reasonable post that makes points I, frankly, am not qualified to judge, so I will not try to.

Your post stated that the author had provided no argument nor data, when it did exactly that. I am able to judge the existence or non-existence of text, so I replied.
It implies that you know who to sue if code quality isn't up to scratch. This is important to large organizations for some reason.

I don't doubt Putin has massive support, but in a country without free press or free elections popularity says nothing. Putin doesn't win elections, he arranges them.

North Koreas leaders have traditionally enjoyed a 100% support, and it might even be genuine support, but it doesn't mean anything.

The media climate in Russia isn't yet North Korean of course, but it's far from a climate in which elections would be called fair.
https://index.rsf.org/
(You really don't want to rank with Belarus and Congo on the freedom of press index).

To win a real election you make sure you have freedom of press, then you have an election overseen by internationally recognized observers such as the oecd.

The fact that Putin is popular despite rapidly growing deficits and receding standard of living (at the same time as massive military spending) is pretty telling.
And all of this trouble to achieve.....what exactly?
It makes me wonder why an "associate" of a foreign head of state is a more relevant story than the father of the head of state, or of serving politicians with close links to the party of the head of state, from the same country's taxpayer-funded news service.

The story doesn't even mention the implication of Cameron's father in the scheme. Which is odd, because Cameron stood to gain from the inheritance. And if the allegations are true, then he would have benefited from the proceeds of tax evasion.

There are also several other heads of state directly implicated in this scheme, yet they were not even mentioned in the story: the current heads of state of UAE, Ukraine, Argentina, and Saudi Arabia for example.

And the figure who is apparently at the center of the Russian allegations is a concert cellist who has known Putin since they were teenagers. Yet the link and related BBC story convey the impression (at least to my mind) that Putin was somehow complicit in the scheme, without establishing any proof for this.
Also, there could be multiple paths (signals bouncing off walls in multiple ways).

They'll Have to Rewrite the Textbooks: Brain Directly Connected to Immune System
I work for a university, and they're pretty big on paper receipts for expenses, as well as money incoming. It's more about auditability, I think. To be able to say to the IRS, shareholders, the government and even internal management that the money spent in transaction ad9c538e was spent buying servers, and that five years ago those same servers were fully depreciated and sent off for ewaste / recycing, and here's the documentation to prove it.

Otherwise, you're potentially taking too much depreciation, opening the door to employee theft, and making managerial decisions based on poor data. Paper / letterhead is some kind of proof that can be followed up with. Even if an employee fakes a purchase, does Dell have a record of purchase order #2023420? They don't?

An electronic version of this stuff would be fairly useful, but is sort of a collective action problem: if vendors offers API nobody uses, was it worth the effort? How do you handle N vendors offering N different APIs? And how do they upgrade when they interact with hundreds of clients?
Perhaps because I work in healthcare and not in ... whatever the analogous field is, but I don't see the massive harm to the public that attends an unlicensed BnB (except for the flouting of our collective rules-making about where businesses are, and the impact on neighbors who had one sprung on them), whereas allowing people to just say "I used an app, so I don't have to bother to follow the rules that keep me from sickening and/or killing people on a regular basis" seems significantly worse.
Exactly! I would argue it creates MORE red tape and work to do that, than less. I've done it, I've seen it, it actually makes your life worse, not better.
Next step is those pesky newspapers because they critique the state.

> This should be titled "A Ruby programmer looks at Rust". There are now a very large number of programmers who have zero experience (...) To them, Rust is rather intimidating, and this writer is trying to make it simpler.

Funny. I find Rust a more accessible language than Ruby. Rust is certainly not an easy language to learn, but the basic concepts (ownership, borrowing, lifetime) are based on everyday life, and the analogy is precise enough that I don't need to worry about a mismatch between my intuition and the language. For instance, if I let my friend borrow my car, I can't drive it myself until he returns it to me (freezing). And, if a married couple owns a car (Arc), they must take turns to drive it (Mutex, RwLock).

On the other hand Ruby's design principles seem to have been:

(0) The syntax has to look like English. This is non-negotiable.

(1) Each feature must be easy to explain (FSVO “explain”) in isolation.

(2) Interactions between arbitrarily many features are allowed to be arbitrarily nasty.

The answer to that is easily determined from the demo video that Microsoft published. In it, Russ Alexander compiles a program with (Ubuntu binary) GCC and and runs it.

Its implicit int in the declaration of main() was jarring. (-:
I don't think foolproof costs all that much, especially if it's habit. YMMV.

I'm not the parent, but my impression is that Go is productive more in the sense of quantity than quality. It is easy to pick up, understand and use. But it is also very error prone, because its type system is poorly suited for proper error handling, nulls and generic code. It's certainly better than C and most dynamic languages, but that's not setting the bar very high.

I really see no reason to pick up Go these days unless you're a fan of 80s retro hits. If you want most of the goodness of Rust combined with the easiness of Go, look to Kotlin and Swift.
You have a point, however, what rust enforces is more strict than what you need to adhere to in order to write a correct C program.

The proof of this is that several core concepts that are considered "safe" have "unsafe" portions that make let work. Thus, there are safe things that rust doesn't consider safe, or that rust cannot infer is safe.

It's a self-destructive move by these media outlets. How much more irrelevant do they want to make themselves?
Look at the Supercharger map and compare it with this map:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/21/US_popul...

Approximately thirds of the US population lives east of the Mississippi. In that region, the holes in the Supercharger network are around western Tennessee, West Virginia, northern Pennsylvania, and northern Maine, all lightly populated with the exception of Memphis.

I don't understand your hypothetical. Why would the Supercharger network be relevant at all to a 120 mile trip? Superchargers are for making trips beyond the range of a single charge, not for trips to the next city over which you can easily make on one charge.
I really feel like this is an unnecessarily melodramatic comment. I can't tell if you're being serious about American news only reporting things that make America look good but that's certainly not true in my experience. Mainstreams outlets (NYT/WSJ/etc.) have different biases on their editorial boards but they are more than willing to report negative news about the US and mundane current events from around the world.

Also, I think it's a little bit to early to call propaganda/controlled-opposition on this leak. Because the US has such a strict tax evasion regime, it's pretty reasonable to believe that Americans would be treated differently by firms selling tax evasion services. Or, it could be that American names will be released later. Hard to tell at this point.
Tesla is in a bit of a bind. The model 3 may have been inconveniently too popular. If Tesla wants to deliver those cars in 2018 they may have to over build their capacity. The pre-sales will probably be in the 300K-350K range. That is equivalent to the Honda accord in popularity.

Tesla is either going to have to hope for sustained demand at that level, build out a massive production capacity or spread deliveries out farther.

I don't know how this will end up shaking out. They will have competition in 2018 onward. Probably from multiple OEMs. So I guess the next 2 year is really going to be the big test for Musk to see if they can switch from plucky upstart to Big Auto. More than a few companies have been destroyed by too much demand too fast.
Inheritance is terrible in the same way C is terrible
Well, yes, but the whole point is to make the lives of the end programmers easier, not of the language implementors. If you want to avoid forcing people to manually tag each variable, the implementors either need to write an optimistic JIT or a really good type inference engine.
Well if Bernie Sanders is elected and he charges some outrageous tax rate, I think we will all need tax havens, which would not be unethical.
If Tesla can't meet their production schedule, many of those pre-orders will evaporate. Tesla now has to get a huge factory up and running, and then learn to run it cheaply. That's not easy. Fast, cheap, good - pick two. My guess is they'll be a little late with the new cars, they'll be OK, and their manufacturing cost per unit will be higher than expected.

Agreed. I had the same hesitation. Like most things with the Tesla, you need to experience it to truly appreciate it.
I want more State government to adopt this policy
It's up to the tech lead/scrummaster to enforce. If your code reviews are too onerous, your feature branches might be getting too big which I think is bad practice for multiple reasons. We do branch per story and keep each story about as small as possible to deliver incremental value. Pull requests should be small and frequent. This leads to easier code reviews, quikcer integration, tighter turnaround with QA and quicker delivery to product owners.
There is a difference between the two. As an architect you would need to keep up with what the different tool sets (compilers, transpilers, frameworks, database interfaces, etc, ) and what's going on in those spaces. Understand why your currently chosen toolset is working and where their roadmap is and how well your company is on that roadmap.

Whats the new universe of tool in your space, is one of them going to help you? Is it something you should pilot/plan for, keep an eye on or ignore?

You need to focus on that and figure that out. Having you work on tickets or new features isn't the best use of your time. Working out how it all works (and works well) together and where the holes are is your prime function.

Let's talk about the "Thou shalt". That's when you lead the education process. Why AstroScript is the way, what it will do, how it will work, how it scales, etc. You get some level of buyin and once that's done the team rocks and rolls in that effort. You want to help out with the first set of features fine, but once they get going let them go and get out of their way. You then look for the next thing down the road.

Hey your team wants to do Elm? Is that in the plan, have all the little nuances been looked at, does it scale, etc. etc. Yes, then go that way. No? Then it's up to you to either close the gaps with Elm or put the ship back on track. That's what architects do.

I understand people ending up as "white board architects". They suck, they happen. You can be "hands on", be an advisory, be a resource, be involved with the team. But you shouldn't be cutting daily code.

Lastly, I want to repeat that the original article is about a company that is 12 years old. Well past a few developers, a company that wants and should be on a growth path. Scout around and look at some Y successes that are $100+ million companies. Track their architect(s) down and ask what they do. If they are spending 30% of their time doing app-dev write back to me. Happy to treat you to dinner anywhere in Philly.

Jersey is also one of the top tax havens IIRC.

As for Cameron being a leader in tax haven reform, I don't buy it for a second. Words are cheap, what action has his government taken to tackle the issue? If anything, they've been at work to increase legal loopholes and tax breaks for the rich. Not only that, but George Osbourne's family company has been proven to dodge tax. When you've got people at the top this morally bankrupt, do you really expect them to fix the regulations to serve the public?

He said the traction control engaged when accelerating out of some corners. That may be the result of high torque or a badly designed car.

Probably high torque. I can cause tire slip by stomping on the pedal in my Fiat 500e. You just have that much torque and it's available instantly. The low rolling friction tires probably don't help. However, the good news, is that electric acceleration is instantaneously responsive, so you can have the driving pleasure of optimizing how much acceleration you can get away with.
