> Does Agile really not work with large enterprises?

It works well when you can control or bound the expectations of your users. Delivering a gradually-expanding customer self-service portal, for example, is a perfect candidate for agile processes.

However, it doesn't work when the requirements are legal or financial compliance. There is seldom an opportunity to iterate and improve, it needs to be done once and fully by the go-live date. You can't release a small part of a compliance project ahead of schedule because, well, it wouldn't be compliant... Date-bounding makes-up a large proportion of enterprise business logic for this reason.

Counter-intuitively a large enterprise actually needs to be more flexible in its project management and methodology than a small, "agile" start-up. Deploy whichever technique is appropriate for the task, which means you have to have adaptable staff.

It actually predates Dybvig's time at Indiana; he started writing it as part of his PhD work at UNC Chapel Hill. Plus, he set up Cadence Research Systems for licensing Chez Scheme, so it was never owned by any university.

The part where Cisco open sourced it is a bit unusual, but it's not uncommon for people to close source and sell systems they create during college or grad school and continue to use them in research.
Each NP-complete problem is in fact a family of problems. In the sense that you could compute an optimal sales route between a small number of cities or optimally pack a very small knapsack in your head.

I believe the point the posted article is making is that reasonable progress has been made against such problems of sizes that seem 'large' in terms of normal human experience, through brute-force computation and clever heuristic tricks. That doesn't mean they don't scale in the expected way or that a true shortcut has been found.
>The answer is that the cost of electricity is greater than running this game, even if it's run in the background.

There's a 3rd party application that most serious card idlers use, it uses negligible processing power, just pings the SteamWorks API to say you're playing the game. So if you have steam open in the background, I doubt this adds more visible cost than having a pinned tab in chrome.

So here is a false choice, but consider which one would have a greater and longer lasting impact:

A) You dash to the rolltop and feverishly write letters to every politician you can think of. You then get on a bus with a bunch of other upset people, go to DC and wave signs with clever catch phrases. You then live in a tent on public space for several weeks.

B) You consider this information, your feelings, and your prior model of the way the world worked. Methodically you reexamine long unchallenged precepts related to morality, the role of the state, and the logical consistency of the entire endeavor. After a while you find that things make a lot more sense, you are no longer experience the effects of cognitive dissonance when new information hits your brain. You share this new understanding, through example (maybe by pestering strangers online, either or).

Clearly I favor option B, but one could easily deride it as slacktivism - though the self reflection is not something you often see in #Kony2012. Every example of positive change that I can think, involved marching and rhyming slogans, would not have been possible without a great deal of uncomfortable self examination.

I'll jump in and mention VimFx [0] here because, having the same concerns, I recently switched over from vimperator. It's lighter than vimperator but gives much of the similar functionality, without completely revamping the browser. And it should continue to work as Firefox moves ahead.

Having dealt with US Federal Government customers and multi-year projects, I think the issue is that it gets really hard to provide an accurate cost and time estimate for the whole project without a BDUF, at least once a project gets beyond a certain size. This is especially true when the project is just a piece of a larger product and needs to coordinate with other subprojects.

It may be that agile is just not appropriate for such projects, in which case I wish companies and customers would stop trying to force-fit them.

Is news coverage of an old nuclear accident Britain's way of consoling Ukraine after failing to offer significant support in the fight against Putin's invasion?
Yes, the problem is presenting it as a zero-sum issue where what one has is at the expense of someone else and in addition posing something as intrinsic and inextricable from a class of people. It's their disease it's a bad disease and really they should be ashamed, rather than addressing the system we're addressing it as a people issue.
...unless you are into politics...

I have nothing against Singapore, but that's kind of the whole point of free speech -- the ability to discuss all ideas that can alter society.

I suppose a society where those in charge are all benevolent could get by without it for a long time, but eventually I would expect a disconnect between the perceptions of the government and the needs of the people that can scarcely be solved with free speech, but almost certainly not without it.

Since I'm just reasoning aboit generalizations, I'll ask, how does Singapore work around this problem?
WSJ: FBI Plans to Keep Apple iPhone-Hacking Method Secret
I think for many people who cannot remember these times, they automatically assume that Chernobyl was worse, simply because how could an advanced country like Japan repeat the same mistakes. Clearly, both incidents were very bad, but to assume one is worse than the other, is probably a mistake, particularly considering the Fukushima incident was so recent.
Of course they are. It's been lies and flim flam for a while. Worst printers on the market, just look at the reviews. They had US manufacturing going for them, but I guess even that much of their previous reputation, honor, and pride was too much to hold on to.

AFAIK this could've been fixed in LLVM a long time ago, which would also help C code compiled with clang, although I believe stack probes are opt-in there.

We can't fix it fully in rustc because we don't know the stack size, which can grow with aggressive inlining, for example.

I suppose we could summarily probe allocas we know are larger than the page size, which would solve this particular situation (one large variable), but it's not a panacea.
Indeed, it is the purpose of a court to follow due process, but not of a private entity.

Laws and courts constitute a minimum or a "floor" standard for civic and commercial behavior. A society that has due process in its laws and on its books, but whose civic and commercial institutions all exhibit draconian knee-jerk behaviors is succeeding at being benevolent and just to the same extent that the Jim Crow south enfranchised black people. The comparison is unpleasant, but it is operationally correct. Laws on the books are only a skeleton. Values and principles have to be enacted by the flesh of civic and commercial society to be meaningful to people.

The values embodied by the laws on the books have also to be alive in civic society, or else they are not truly meaningful. It's not enough for only the government and courts to embody humanist and democratic values. Civic and commercial society has to embody them too. (Ask yourself, are you a part of civic and commercial institutions and intellectual movements that embody humanist and democratic values? Or are they authoritarian and withhold justice and free speech from those the group deems "unworthy?")

People are suggesting replacements for Reader, but none of them capture the ux that Reader found perfection at. Newer readers have been trying to outcompete each other with nice convenience features, but it muddies the strength of what Reader was: simple.

The $65-per-seat price was listed by a third-party Cisco vendor. There's never been any explanation as to how they came up with that price, nor whether anyone tried to purchase it that way. It was fun to tell people to get a license, especially given the normal prices (which someone else posted).
They're screwing you because, while everyone pays the same price for the same service, the library that you have access to depends entirely on what side of the border you're on. This makes absolutely no sense in a globally connected world.
I don't see big benefits for the 'exact' bit. There's only a fixed (in theory, countably infinite and infinitely dense) set of numbers that can be represented exactly. If you want to go for such a set of exactly-representable numbers, wouldn't the rationals be the better choice? That allows you, for example, to do dollar accounting in exact arithmetic.

Also, to enable round-tripping with string representations, your printf/scanf pair has to discriminate between exact and inexact versions of, for example, 3/4. If you don't, every string you read in (e.g. from XML (including reading modern spreadsheet data), json, or from user input, will have to have the 'exact' bit cleared. I guess so many numbers will be inexact that it turns out to have close to zero information content (in other words: adding it to your numbers is a waste of space)

No offense to OP or Mr. Togelius but this argument is terrible in almost every way imaginable and completely unconvincing at that. It makes its case entirely by subtly introducing straw men and double standards.

Leaving aside that its primary point is made by a redefinition of “intelligence” (itself being nebulous without providing two definitions), it completely ignores the fact that computers would be completely unable to do any of these things had smart people not told them how to. You may say the same of people as well, but people can learn things independent of knowledge. Even something as simple as space and time is understood a priori by people but most computers are oblivious to what these things actually mean.

The arguments about memory are terrible because one might as well say a library is smarter than a person if all that matters is the accuracy of recall and the amount of data stored. The computer itself does not know these things in the same way that we do, if you ask it to find them for you it will search them the same way you might but more quickly. Knowledge is contextual and intuitive, and computers currently are not great at context or intuition.

And that’s just knowledge! It’s so easy to demonstrate that human knowledge is more complex than computer “knowledge” that it’s barely even worth discussing.

I personally think one of the strongest indicators of intelligence in people is their intuition and the ease at which they adapt to new things, i.e. how many things come easily to them. Nothing comes easily to a computer. Everything must be specified clearly and carefully to the computer by a person who is better at intuition than the computer is. The computer has no way of knowing whether something is “right” or “wrong” in the sense that those words intersect with both morality and logic. They might understand that something is “incorrect,” but that does not carry the negative connotations that “wrong” does for a human being. Computers have not “computed how to play the game perfectly,” they were told how to do so through increasing levels of abstraction. Computers have not “computed how to play the game perfectly” just as pencils have not learned how to make marks on paper. That a computer does what you tell it to and by definition can’t do what you don’t tell it to is evidence enough of its utility as a tool and not a person.

This is, of course, in the current context of AI. I have no doubt that some day we will create software with the sort of intuition and ability to contextualize information that people have. But until then, there’s not sense deluding ourselves that we’re already there. If that were the case, we might as well have stopped doing computer science research with the Bombe 70 years ago.

I don't need awareness. I'm keenly aware of what's happening here in America and abroad. I got where I am because I worked hard. I've received no handouts. I paid for my education through my military service. I earned my 3.98 GPA in CompSci because I put forth the effort. I currently work with some blacks who have done the same thing, and they were poorer than me growing up. It's about attitude and what you want. Real men don't want handouts. They don't want a check given to them for doing nothing.

Hell, now there are people talking about a basic income for doing nothing. I agree with scripture, work or don't eat. Granted, society has people who cannot work through no fault of their own. Take care of our less fortunate brothers and sisters, by all means. If you are an able-bodied adult, get off your ass and work for a living. Start of down low like everyone else and make something of yourself. This is where the military shines. A poor guy can rise to the top in the military. Get his college paid for. Make something of himself. Nothing stops these people. There is no such thing as will power. It's want power. How bad do you want to be better, different, not poor, educated. How bad do you want to work to ensure your children live a better life than you? My parents were not perfect, but damn if they didn't raise me right. I work for what's mine and want no handouts from others.
Good point, and I've seen this stuff referenced before, so perhaps my comment above is a little over-stated.

But my confusion remains: how big are all these Node apps, what are they being used for, how robust have they proven to be, how happy are these companies with their Node server side code, how far will these Node apps be extended, how much more Node will these companies be implementing, etc.

My skepticism is fueled, in part, by numerous incidents like the one recently on the Atlanta JavaScript Slack channel, where a Node Evangelist was telling everyone how WordPress had rebuilt their infrastructure in Node. Problem is, WordPress has done nothing of the sort. They actually built a small downloadable app for WordPress admins to use in managing their WordPress sites, as far as I could figure out. Which is precisely what Node MIGHT be considered good for, no doubt about it.

But that's not what our Node Evangelist friend was preaching. And I just get the feeling that a lot of people who are spreading the Node Word are misunderstanding some of the facts on the ground. There might be some wishful thinking in Node Land. Because I wouldn't choose Node over any of 6 other server side languages right now, and I sure wouldn't attempt to build robust apps for our clients on such a fragmented and messy ecosystem of modules and shiny fads.

On that note,, where's the Django or Rails or .NET or Spring of Node Land? I can't seem to find it, and without it, Node is a non-starter for so many professionals. Just seems obvious, but maybe I'm wrong.

>there is a reason that C is the foundation of computing rather than Lisp. I don't think anybody really thinks otherwise anymore.

C is not the foundation of computing. Why would you say this?

>Likewise, Scheme implementations have mutable hash tables, but they're written in C and not Scheme.

A native code compiler written in Scheme would have its hash table implementation also written in Scheme.

>I don't know how you even write a hash table based on cons cells rather than O(1) indexing.

You wouldn't do that! Cons cells are not the only primitive data type! Another primitive type in Scheme is the vector, which is a mutable array.

I'm sorry, but you greatly misunderstand Lisp and how compilers work.
You're being parochial. This is an international forum. Do "we" have equality in Israel? In China? In Saudi Arabia?

If you wanted to talk about those things, I wouldn't chide you for being parochial. I would just see that you are... discussing those specific things, particularly if you were being as clear about it as I was. "Oh," I'd think. "There's a discussion that doesn't involve me. Perhaps I shouldn't attempt to be clever in it."

I'm not sure if English is your native language but you should understand that "we" does not necessarily mean "every human." It can have different meanings depending on context.

For example, if I say "My family enjoys dinner together. Tonight, we enjoyed spaghetti" then in this case it's clear from context that "we" means "my family."

Similar, if I say "In America [...] we" then it is also very clear that I'm talking about America.

I hope this makes your future encounters with English more comprehendable for you.

Signaling that _you_ are thinking while _they_ are emoting is a bad-faith tell.

I specifically said I "don't feel" the need to push back, and that you apparently do "feel" it. To hell with signaling: you're ignoring the thing I literally said in direct and unambiguous language. Now that's bad faith.

I wish you luck in replacing it

Hey thanks!

Did you have anything constructive to say here? I don't see anything of the sort, just a bunch of misguided attempts at pedantry that don't hold any water whatsoever.

I mean, I get it: you think that talking about particular kinds of privilege is bad. I'm not going to intentionally misstate what you said, or be ineffectively pedantic, because that's neither clever nor helpful.

So where does that leave your search for better language?

Discouraged, because there are an awful lot of people like you who want to turn things into a pedantic debate (dispute being hilariously underequipped to do so; I suggest you stay in your lane) instead of working towards any kind of awareness or solution whatsoever.

Those who say "agile is dead" are those that think agile was something you had to buy in the first place. To me agile has always just been a way of thinking about solutions to problems. It can't 'die' because it ideas have already been absorbed into our collective consciousness and affects the way we create solutions. Even if no one calls it agile anymore, the mark has been made.
