This is absolutely wrong, I have seen first-hand people seriously advocating (and actually trying to practice) it, even within the past 10 years.

The thing to remember though is that the 'pure' version of the process (in which you never return to the previous level - hence the name 'waterfall') was regarded as an ideal, not as something achievable. Nobody expected that there would be zero bugs found in testing that would require more coding work (why test otherwise?), but it was regarded as a kind moral failing, to be met with a lot of hand-wringing about why we can't be like real engineers, who never make mistakes &c. And the same applied to revisiting the design or requirements phases.

The next level of idealism held that even if avoiding returning to a previous stage was impossible, you could at least limit it to the immediately preceding stage. As Royce pointed out in the first paper to provide a convenient diagram of the established software lifecycle to cite, this never happened in practice either.

Over time the necessity of doubling back became less of a moral failing and was incorporated into the teaching of the process, without any acknowledgement that the entire concept was fatally flawed. It was also succeeded by several iterative but still waterfall-like processes (starting with Royce's paper and eventually followed by Spiral and RUP). Thus there are many folks who still believe that the pre-Agile process (they may not recognise that there was more than one) was just fine, and that the pejorative 'waterfall' was applied to something that never really existed. In a certain sense that's true, but it gives a completely misleading picture of the history.

Agile's contribution was the idea that any or all of the phases could be happening simultaneously - and, more importantly, that was OK. Plenty of people had been ignoring the orthodox methodologies and working that way, of course, but don't believe anyone who tells you that was an orthodox idea before Agile.
The study abstract says greatest body fat percentage which isn't really the same as fatter, but when it is true across individuals it points to humans having more tissue devoted to energy storage.

A/B testing data is only as good as the samples provided. They may have done wonderful A/B testing, but that the alternative designs were just so bad that the current design version made it through ;)
Thank you, that was a better answer than the one I was able to come up with.

Don't think I've ever seen "sexy" and "actuarial" used together :-)

What do all the actuaries do in Edinburgh then - I've seen to have known loads of them over the years! Or is pensions/life stuff not on the "sexy" side of things?
No manned flight to Mars in the next 10 years, I bet. (Why anyone would want that escapes me... Then again that is why I will be wrong, if indeed I will be.)

I'm not sure you realize just how fragile the stage is. The side walls are made of _very_ thin aluminum. Any landing support mechanism must put the impact force on the 'octaweb' structure that supports the engines. That's the advantage of the legs. They can be engineered to distribute the force exactly where they want it.

A significant problem with any sort of "catching" mechanism is that the load on the stage is far less predictable.
Kotlin has a repl
> because there's not much fuel left in the tank to hover

They can't hover at all, since the throttle doesn't go low enough. They need to do the landing perfectly, on a single try.

> Treating errors as facts of life.

Even the passengers are part of the system. Example: those cigarette ashtrays in the bathrooms? They're not left over from some mid-century period where you could smoke on planes—they're very intentional and there to prevent fires in the event someone does smoke on a plane, which, since it's a very plausible and easy to make human error, must be accounted for safely and systemically.

That way of thinking permeates air safety thinking, and it's why air travel is safe, period.
Actually, yes. Anything with a moving part is painfully expensive, which is why cheap monitors try to reduce the number of buttons or use capacitative touch-sensitive controls.

Touch-sensitive membrane buttons like the ones the use on the front of microwaves are much cheaper than mechanical timers.
SpaceX, on the other hand, has been willing to sacrifice some weight in order to reduce complexity and improve reliability and reusability.
C++ Weekly – Ep9 Std::future Quick-Start
I remain confused about why SpaceX is getting so much fanfare and praise. What have they accomplished that NASA didn't already accomplish during the Apollo missions?

I know SpaceX is doing it all more cost effectively, because we have better technology, but have they actually accomplished anything tangible that NASA didn't a generation ago?

You realize rent control isn't just about baby boomers, right? Pretty much all the minority advocacy groups fight for more rent control, or at the very least section 8 housing- and I'd like to see a single study showing a city > 100,000 people with 80% of the market locked up in rental control. I have a hard time believing any market would even get to 30%, after all the people with REAL money (the developers/land owners) want nothing to do with it.

Also agree with you on getting let down by our parents/grandparents on the education issue. I was born in '82 and had it rough, I can only imagine what a kid born in '92 had to deal with.

Edit: I'm moving from Seattle to Portland, so does that mean I'm one of these people they're talking about that has to move out, or one of the assholes moving in? Both?
I too find it hard to see how so many have conflated chanting for a group, in this case the USA, as being equivalent to actively admonishing another group. The employees at SpaceX aren't burning the flags of foreign countries or otherwise disrespecting or mocking them, they are simply expressing pride in the nation that many of us view as playing an instrumental part in our success.

I also don't know what could be done to remedy the situation, assuming its decided that a remedy is in order. I can assure everyone that to my knowledge the chants aren't at all staged, they happen organically and large numbers of employees participate in them.

Again, and I hate to be overly repetitive but I think its worth noting that while I don't partake in the chants myself, if we got word from higher up that this was no longer acceptable behavior I would be extraordinarily pissed. I don't care about the chants either way but the employees here are already sacrificing a lot for this mission, they don't need their spontaneous celebrations micromanaged.

The atmosphere during launches here is electric, and even I, someone who is usually extremely reserved and collected, often get emotional. Most of us work very hard and deal with a fair amount of stress, particularly in the week leading up to launch. If people want to let loose with some celebratory chants so be it.

I suppose we could all just start chanting SpaceX-SpaceX-SpaceX although somehow I have feeling someone would find that equally offensive as well.

I'm seriously starting to think SpaceX should just stop broadcasting the view from inside the Hawthorne facility.
Good point.

In the IPFS docs, I get the impression that IPNS is a placeholder for a capable naming system. They needed something but it wasn't a core technology.

If the official rust+cargo was built statically with musl, then a single download would work on glibc and musl distros. Right now, we don't have a download that works on musl, and one has to bootstrap on a glibc system, targeting musl, which makes it impossible to bootstrap rust+cargo on a musl distro without glibc because bootstrapping requires a snapshot.
Slightly off topic but I was watching a television show the other day and someone said they worked at NASA. The host then said "So you're literally a rocket scientist?"

And the guy said emphatically "Rocket engineer, there is a big difference"

I'm sure this particular task probably was a little bit of both. After all, they had to run several real world experiments to prove their calculations.
> People want to give Microsoft money, but Microsoft is intent on making the entire thing as painful as possible and their licensing as obtuse as possible.

This.

I don't know if this is still the case, but a few years ago I bought an MSDN subscription, and it took weeks. I could never figure out why they made it so difficult, nor why they forced me to go through partners. Just add a subscribe button on your own website, let me pay and be done with it. How you handle distribution is not my business (and I reckon distribution is not an issue anymore, since I think nobody chooses to have CDs delivered instead of downloading what they're interested in).

Again, this was a few years ago. I hope by now they have fixed this process, because it was completely broken.
>The affluent and the talented are flooding into superstar cities and tech hubs, creating a vicious competition for space that is pushing out the young

The above quote certainly is asserting a talented/young dichotomy, as well as an affluent/young dichotomy.

It's either deeply-engrained bias or sloppy writing. Pick one, depending on your level of cynicism.
GitHub vs. GitLab
Redis is in a very small category of software that's been pleasant to work with from day one and continues to be on a daily basis.

Kudos to antirez on everything before this and another great release.
Exactly. If pilots (humans) cause errors, the safest system removes them from the equation as much as possible, except in the parts of the process where it would be more error-prone not to.

Point re: screwing up because the plane is normally flown for you; yes, but that's still safer overall without a doubt than optimizing for pilots doing much of the flying manually much of the time. Occasional emergencies are far better than predictable human error all the time.
Hostname, but not path.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding your point -- by "do not log," do you mean do not call logging statements in a logging library's API, or simply do not force a concrete implementation of a logging library? I understand and agree with the second one completely, but the first one seems unrealistic.

I can't see how the Apache httpclient library could sanely "return" the different state transitions and pieces of data that are logged in its wire-level logging, but this is certainly a case where the logging statements are welcome.
I had to a do a double take on the logo typeface after I read your comment. Turns out it is Lobster.
The point still stands. If a person tells you to stop an action they find uncomfortable for whatever reason in any way, no matter their gender, race, etc. It becomes harassment. The FBI is a government organization that you could argue has the job of doing this, however they fail to ever state why they require her assistance (and they seem kinda rude to me).

It wasn't enterprise, but the company is nice to the community otherwise, so I don't want to name them here. They just didn't seem to have single-developer target as part of their sales process.
They tried doing the same thing here with a replacement bridge. They didn't like the old name for historical/political reasons and tried to change it to a national hero name to make this clusterfuck of a project more inticing. The backlash was infinite and they backed down. Oh and they didn't get reelected for other various reasons.

London is a handful of very pleasant millionaire villages - Primrose Hill, Hampstead & Highgate, Ken + Chel etc - surrounded by terraced Edwardian worker slums.

There's also been a new build boom in the East. Some areas were almost affordable for a while.

The big advantage compared to the rest of the UK is networking potential. Even the biggest competing cities - Manchester, Birmingham - are an order of magnitude less happening. And places like Leeds and Swindon have almost nothing at all.

The UK has really screwed the proverbial pooch here. Compared to traditional industry, Internet and creative businesses have huge potential for almost no infrastructure spend, and can create jobs almost everywhere.

Aggressively promoting startups across the country should have been a no-brainer. But... that's not what we got.
The people in line for an iPhone 6 have an iPhone 5s with them. Nothing life changing is occurring at all. Someone buying a smartphone for the first time isn't camping out in line at the Apple store.

There is no difference in having an iPhone on day one vs day two in terms of social status or business status. And certainly not romantic status.
Did NASA land anything else than the Space Shuttle?
Not necessarily. If landlords would rather keep their property on the market in the hopes of getting a higher rent price than lower the price then the price will remain static. There'll just be more un-let, empty properties. In the UK this happens a lot because property tax (council tax as it's known here) is discounted on an empty property, so there isn't much incentive to fill the property at a lower price.

The economics of the property market are weird.
You can't go too far off the deep end and never place blame, but I think it's safe to say that the air travel system has considerable incentives for acting in favor of the system's improvement vs. in favor of individual blame/responsibility, and that's made it what it is today.

"Human factors" is another way of saying "this is something in the system that's error-prone that we haven't controlled yet, but maybe we should if the statistics say so."
I'm not sure you and I are following the same news. Granted, I was born in the 80s but I don't think NASA ever landed a first stage on a barge before.
I'm still surprised there's no active system on the barge to secure the rocket. Even now they seem to be able to stick the landing with some reliability, it's always nice to have belt and suspenders.

I'm thinking a system with a pillar at each corner of the barge, pairs of cables between opposite pillars, and puller cables to open out the main cables into an iris-type aperture which can be rapidly closed on the rocket after it lands to keep it upright. Do that at 2-3 heights above the barge and it'll cradle the rocket even in heavy seas.

She has wisely communicated her desire to do so only with legal council present and they are clearly saying that they will circumvent this if they can.

Given the behavior of bad apple cops and agents, she is right to feel threatened. If these are agents with good intentions, they have no reason to be afraid of a lawyer. If they are going to circumvent her legal protections, harassment is the minimum best outcome for her.
Very well put. Hard to extrapolate factory work to office work.

I do believe that there are diminishing returns in software development (and startups) but a lot of it depends on the type of job, stage of company, existing support processes, etc.

I don't want to get too far off topic, but this is blatantly false, especially as far as law enforcement is concerned.
My daughter is 7 -- her hero is David Attenborough. She has in her bedroom a frame with the letter she received from him. He's been her hero since she was 4.
They totally picked the new name because it would soften the blow, he's a national treasure after all.
The center of mass of the rocket is _very_ low. According to Elon, the CRS-8 core was very stable (it needed even less stabilization than they thought it did).

They may add some means to secure it if it needs to travel through rough seas on the way home, but if the conditions are calm enough to land, they're calm enough for the stage to be stable. Watch the CRS-8 landing and look at how much the barge is rolling while the stage is parked on it...
Exactly right - you only get 2 admin RDP licenses with Azure Windows VM. More users requires running RD License Host and using either user or device RDS CALs (not to be confused with Server access CALs which ARE included with Azure cost). Further, extended rights enablement seems (to still) requires an active SA contract.

To make matters worse (and this is unclear) you can only do RDS User CALs in Active Directory mode, but must use Device RDS CALs in workgroup mode, making an install scenario where a couple of users just want to share a desktop app (quickbooks, for example) a freaking nightmare.

In essence, it seems that RDS licensing is currently targeted only at hybrid deployments (e.g. you're taking your RDS from on-premises to hybrid via SA/Extended Rights).

As of this summer, it should be possible to also use RDS via SA/ExRights on AWS, which, ironically, costs materially less than Azure for a Windows Server license on top of decent hardware+ssds.

Oh, and because its microsoft, every single possible combo of user/device/rds/sa/whatever licenses carries its own SKU. After this "exercise" I know far more than i ever wanted to about Microsoft licensing :(

It's never this black and white. Many (but not all!) companies that eventually exit do so at a value greater than previous rounds. Many also have bumps in the road. What is good advice at Square may be bad advice at Apple, depending on when you've timed it.

Taking money off the table is more about risk tolerance than anything else.

If you have 2 kids whose college funds aren't filled, and your salary barely pays the rent, and you don't have other assets, taking money off the table makes a lot of sense.

If you have a fairly well diversified broad portfolio of assets, and your personal costs are low, it may make more sense to let it ride.

It directly contradicts all that because if you read my comment, what I'm saying is: a) the general population is at state FOO, b) Trump is at state FOO, ergo no persuasion needed. They just happen to coincide. It really wasn't that hard to infer what I was saying.

To everything else you're saying: if you think Trump's past displays awesome management skills and strategy, well ok. We just disagree I guess?

Personally, to people like Trump, I wouldn't even trust them with carrying out the simplest of tasks. If you think he has achieved much, I'd refer you to his family's wealth and connections. If you still disagree, then we just agree to disagree.

The Two Faces of the GOP
Hi OP. I was thinking the exact same thing recently. Is this yours?
I was extremely privileged to have good parents. My parents were very young when they had me and I got the privilege of living in a war zone as a child just old enough to remember it.

My privilege is that I experienced life events that many of these kids will never face anywhere near and my parents did their job raising me to be able to handle it.

So yeah, I had good parents that loved me, showed me that, and made sure I knew how to take care of myself and I was extremely privileged compared to the zombie parents 'raising' kids today.
Well, yes... and no. When I tried to use Typescript with React I couldn't help but feel like I was squeezing a square peg through a round hole. Eventually you can do it, but it's an effort. Ultimately you end up with something marginally better than plain JS.

Since virtually ALL available React tutorials, courses, quick starts, etc are written in JS, there is very little support out there for TS.

With Angular2, it's all TS all of the time. And, to me, that's incredibly important.

You can reduce your margin, but you can't really reduce the wholesale price. If the big labels expect to take $0.70 from you and your target audience is not willing to pay a dollar but rather something like $0.50, then you can only make negative profit.
