I agree that the left hand side of the Vee has to be seen as a two way street. As we develop the code we gain experience and insights which enable us to elaborate and refine our requirements. The requirements then act both to guide the development of the system and also to document the lessons that have been learned during development. The output of early requirements elaboration phases are then draft, rather than final, requirements sets.

The key, for me, is the tooling that we have around maintaining requirements and the traces between them and the code. I think that it should be possible to navigate traces and update (low level) requirements and test specifications without leaving the text editor. If it takes 5 minutes to open DOORS and to find the relevant requirement, then you aren't likely to keep it as up to date as you should. The same is true if the requirements are stored on a spreadsheet in a document management system.

Some ALM/IDE tools may enable you to manage things in a better way. From what I have seen, mbeddr is a really interesting experiment along these lines. I also suspect that Visual Studio and Eclipse have some pretty powerful features in this regard.

In my side project (and purely for my own 'entertainment') I am experimenting with ways of embedding low level requirements into comments in the code (the build extracts them and can update DOORS or some other tool), as well as a generic trace system that allows different classes of traceable item to be defined and indexed. The build can enforce requirements coverage in the same way that it enforces test coverage, and because the text and metadata of requirements is easily accessible to the build, we can use NLP tools to enforce the use of restricted natural language or DSLs in the requirements text. The ultimate goal being to use machine learning to learn the correlation between requirements changes and code changes so that a change in one can help generate advice and guidance on what needs to change in the other.
Let me make a bold prediction. Death will not be overcome. Maybe, the eta will be increased, like the situation in the West where life expectancy is higher.
Sure but that doesn't mean we can't understand why some works of art resonate with us. The computational folkloristics field has found some very interesting patterns (see for instance http://www.mftd.org/index.php?action=atu). In "Religion Explained" Pascal Boyer describes why certain myths resonate with us and others do not.
It's interesting given how common it is to buy stuff that ends up demanding your attention ("your stuff starts to own you"). Like I know people who accumulate media (books, magazines, netflix lists) that they have to catch up on, when it can be feel better just to let it go and spend quiet time doing nothing.
With great collaborative tools, a greater concern for carbon emissions, and the cost-saving benefits of working remotely, daily commutes to the office will decline.
> in fact to me it feels that my paying customers are nicer on average.

I've seen this said quite a few times in many contexts
Pity. I've been using Python a lot for test infrastructure and it fits really well.
That makes the reference to evolutionary origins even more confusing, as I doubt our ancestors were ‘meditating’ while running prey to ground. If it is truly a survival thing, then running under stress inducing circumstances (hunger, competition, forced exercise etc) would be more in line with what Gorg the cave man was doing...
Privatization of the Bonneville dam's power distribution network will affect major tech companies such as Amazon, Google, Facebook and others with data centers in the PNW. The dams currently sell power at the cost of generation.
The Internet is much more like water/sewer. If you're not on the public water/sewer, you can always dig a well/build a septic system. Likewise, even in Saguache County, you can get satellite internet (12 down, 3 up). Yes, it's more expensive and more limiting, but so is building a well/septic system (both together can be $20,000+ easily). With electricity, it's highly impractical not to be on the grid (though that's changing these days with wind/solar).

Yes, you could run wired internet along the power poles, but who is going to pay for it? The electric grid was built during the Depression when labor was cheap. You couldn't do it today. (Just like NYC built its subway system at the turn of the 20th century, but the cost would be prohibitive today). And it'd be one thing if these people were cut off from job applications/wikipedia/etc. But spending a bunch of money to wire up rural places that can get satellite/wireless seems like a huge waste of public money to me when there are starving kids, etc.
Lorber's own theory was that brains have spare capacity and primitive brain structures that are more intact are more responsible for the brain functioning than previously thought.
WORLD STILL BEING ATTACKED BY MUSLIMS
Most musicians who can figure out how to record and upload their own music to SoundCloud could just as easily create a generic website with squarespace or something similar to host a blog. The only value in a comprehensive social network for musicians would be the audience it could bring. A large audience is very hard to build.
If it is an S3 API clone, doesn't that make it equally convenient?
Pick a Number, Any Number
One more idea to add to this (that sits on top of the idea that the distributed internet heals itself from attacks) would be to make it super simple for every HTTPS site to donate a portion of its bandwidth to defeating censorship. Imagine a world where VPN traffic was indistinguishable from a normal browsing session.
It's been updated (with labels and data source from Wiki) and the author would like to have it pop up the name of the GPU when you mouseover too. Filed an issue: https://github.com/altair-viz/altair/issues/360
Thanks. If I understand correctly, rclone can clone from other providers to S3 right?

It's definitely something I'd use when I add imports from other backends to 50mm (this software).
We don't know. People saying AI is not a threat for the next 10 years don't know what they're talking about. Could be sooner, could be later. That story about a Facebook bot creating it's own language was nothing but a clickbait article designed to entertain people. However, we're naive to think AI won't be used for evil purposes in the near future. Heck, I'm sure people are using Machine Learning models for evil purposes today, right now.
Would be awesome to partnership with Courtland!
Revolutions to me indicate regime change rather than the population fighting itself. France went through a revolution, Yugoslavia through a civil war which led to its breaking up.

What is happening right now pits one fragment of the population against another aka polarization, that's a harbinger of a possible civil war, not of a revolution.
You're moving the goalposts. At first you said it's not on those large websites at all; now you're saying that it is, but most of it is still on paysites, and that's where most of the clientele goes.

Coincidentally, you're still wrong about that latter claim. Do the same experiment, except now do it in Google video search, and disable safe mode. Look at the number of the results. Do you seriously think that this amount of free content is not enough for a lot of people?
I am one of those guys who likes to understand everything before beginning to do anything meaningful.
Needless to say I mostly fail.

Your lecture on top down course philosophy actually helped me change my perspective. It's a welcome positive change so thank you.
OK, but maybe designers would want machines to evolve. That's a standard approach at software level, right? So why not at hardware level too?

But of course, that could be a dangerous path ;)

Economically, if people are choosing to spend their money somewhere, they believe that place is generating an equal amount of value for them.

Psychologically, value is totally subjective. You are making a distinction between, I guess, "rural tourism" value and, generally, "things a city does" value, but can you make an objective argument for one over the other?

Is there a difference in value-add between a hotel in the city and a bed-and-breakfast in the country? If the rural business makes furniture that people take back to the city, which way is the value going?
that just sounds gross a better idea would be to just ditch the browser/http stack
I like keeping what I do on my website because it is my property and I would never populate other people's websites with my content, unless I got enough money for it.
Scraping Profitwell for MRR in Using NightmareJS

I don't see this happening, but I think that's what the comment you were responding to is suggesting.
that article was written by a VC
On random public Wi-Fi, yes. On home broadband, no.
Practical applications rather than theoretical knowledge. In other words, if you're a programmer to put more tools in your toolbox.
I don't see what you're trying to get at. Are you saying that people who get accidentally pregnant are more likely to be child abusers? My post was in response to someone who was worried he was too forgetful, etc, to take care of a kid. The fact that some people are "too child abuser" to raise a kid is a red herring.
Manslaughter is by definition involuntary, look it up in the dictionary. Doesn't mean you won't go to jail for it, unless the jury lets you go.
Maybe I'm an outlier since I eat so much (>2500 calories/day), but I find that takeout takes a LOT of time, since I only get 1 meal and it takes me 30 min to get the food. In comparison, when I cook for myself, I have plenty of leftovers for the upcoming days (which take little time to reheat).
The music industry is now doing this too. Using statistics and machine learning to recognize songs that are catchy and could be potential hits. I don't remember most of the details, but there's a decent amount on this in the book Automate This. Which is already a few years old and I assume it's only gotten worse since then.
Get a job that lets you afford those luxuries.
I was thinking about the amount of infrastructure needed to service the whole project corridor.

Of course it isn't clear how the hyperloop would work in practice, but I doubt a station would be less footprint than a train stop. And running the services simultaneously is probably harder with small shuttles than with a train that just stops at each station. Likely faster, but a lot more complicated.
It might be worth it to do an updated version of course #1 at some point, many of the examples will not work now if you try to follow along with the video because libraries (for example Keras) have been changed or upgraded.

(I know you have plenty to do, so really no pressure, this is simply a nice to have for newcomers that 'tuned in late'.)
I sympathise, but there is a flip-side.

Code bases, get full of half-arsed framekworks and automation tools that nominally solve all your problems, but don't, either because they address the wrong issue, or because bugs prevent them from doing even the nominal job. Yet these half-working things can become the required internal standard that teams have to adopt against their wishes. They will not be forgiving when the maintainers start ignoring bug reports.

Now this is fundamentally a management failure: pushing a solution without knowing its limits or counting the cost of backing it up and compensating the maintainers. But as engineers we tend to be complicit, because when we make a new shiny thing, we also want to push it and don't want to tell mangement that it will really cost three times more than they were hoping.
I'll second this. JetBrains support has been fantastic responding to individual issues I've had.
Dear Windows,

Wondering if this document essentially states that a Socks 5 proxy is banned for the same reasons.
Musical talent is not equally distributed. The Big 3 offer the most talented and/or trending artists (who are often struggling financially) a path to riches and fame that is difficult to refuse. Until a startup can replicate or disrupt this model, the labels will always have a monopoly on the best talent.
Yes. But not in the way that you expect.

I don't think we're likely to see skynet achieve sentience anytime soon ... But AI technologies (NLP; Machine Learning) are definitely enablers for people who do not necessarily wish us well.

For example, we are living in a world where advertising, influence and propaganda technologies are steadily and rapidly improving in effectiveness. We are not too far off the point (perhaps we are there already?) where influencing messages can be crafted automatically -- tailored for each individual by NLP and machine learning algorithms.

This puts a lot of power in the hands of those who are able and willing to buy that influence. Is this AI being a threat? I'm not sure ... but it is certainly an accomplice.
But GPL is bad mmkay, Apple told me so.

Seriously, I'm not surprised people haven't thought to take advantage of this aspect of GPL for their own selfish benefit. It's only when you're someone like Apple where BSD or MIT or any of the "permissive" licenses make sense for you, that or you really want to be self-less.
Yes, that's what I meant.

In a world with strong AI, old-school humans would be pathetic. Hybrids, however, could build synergistically on the strengths of all components.

The UI and the tech are not the focus. The focus is on providing a platform for artists to sell music. In that regard, it's been a great success. As an artist, I'd much rather distribute music on a platform that's proven to be run by those that put the needs of artists first rather than one that blows their load over how advanced their tech stack is.
I work with a lot of kernel dev type people, you may find it hard to imagine but there are a lot of people that only program in c, maybe python.

I even know a lot of fortran only programmers. If you think html and css are common you might want to expand your scope of programmers, there is a lot of people that don't need or want to know about web programming.
I have been waiting so long for this. For PPT it's unfortunately still a bit annoying to enable latex, but I believe MSFT is actively working to fix this.

That's an interesting perspective, but I'm not sure I understand it. The existence of an underclass _is_ a negative IMO, but if I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying that it's also a hidden negative for those whose time is freed up?

Every time I've heard this sentiment or something related expressed by a friend, it's been from someone whose use of their leisure activities are utterly boring. When they open up a new chunk of regular free time, they don't pick up a new instrument or sport or online course, they just do their leisure activities a bit more often: go to the same bars a bit more, watch a bit (or a lot) more TV, go to brunch a bit more often. (To be clear, I enjoy all these things and don't think they're inherently boring, but think that there's obvious a point at which marginal returns are diminishing)

By contrast, I and many people I know aren't already in a surplus of leisure time. I've been debating re-orienting my career to reliably require less than 40 hours per week because I simply have a dozen other interests I want to pursue. I enjoy my job, but 40 hours dedicated to _one_ of these pursuits to the detriment of the others is a disproportionately huge amount, especially given that it's 40 daylight hours. Given the long list of time-consuming things that I already find rewarding, I can't relate to the concept that being a slave to the drudgery of menial tasks is somehow something that would be _missing_ from my life if I managed to remove it.

To reiterate, I do think that a shift in the economy that leads to increasing outsourcing of menial tasks to an underclass is an issue worth thinking about in terms of what it says about the way our economy is structured and why said underclass is in that position. I just don't buy the self-flagellating claim that doing X hours of penance a week on things you'd rather not do is somehow a moral good.
Is this the real story behind nVidia's insane stock spike over the last year?
I personally am the opposite, though I can believe that's pretty idiosyncratic. I have no interest at all in fancy cooking of the kind that requires many ingredients and 20-step recipes (not even on weekends when I have spare time). But I really like cooking something quick and simple on a daily basis. If I'm really short on time/energy/ingredients, even just a lentil soup (prep time: 5 mins, unattended cooking time: 25 mins) is enjoyable to make and tasty. I have a half-dozen go-to "too lazy to really cook" dishes that take little time and effort and use mainly long-lasting ingredients I always have around, and I like the interlude of putting something together with my hands. I also like the food more, because I've pretty much customized it to what I like to eat.
Right, I understand. And I partially agree.
And yet, it works. Who would have thought?
Ok, so he is a great entrepreneur: knows how to run the company to be profitable, low cost, high revenue, knows how to advertise, how to make a lot of hype. Those are great skills, but have nothing to do with technology. There are many companies that are better at creating new, disrupting technologies: Google with all of its AI research and Android, Amazon with a cloud platform, even Microsoft with Windows and Office was more disruptive than Tesla or SpaceX will ever be.
$130 twice a month for housekeeping is one expenditure my wife and I will probably never give up as long as we live in a house. There's something so soothing about coming home to a house that is orderly and clean. We use the time boost to spend time in the kitchen, cooking.

I think the only other way to get around this problem is to have a much smaller living space with less stuff. The less stuff you have the easier it is to manage.
I've used a shared tmux session over ssh in the past, which worked quite nicely without installing any extra software (besides tmux obviously)
I get the sense that some folks have reflexively downvoted this without reading the article.

The article is about the Department of Energy, how the White House is reducing funding to DOE, and the implications thereof.
It's not a joke.

Yes, of course it is. But you obviously use computers, for example. Maybe even a smartphone. And use remote services to communicate, obtain information, and so on. Probably use vehicles to move faster and carry more stuff.

So why not just integrate all those machines better?
I've been encountering that claim for 20 years. In that time, the Chinese software ecosystem has grown more than any other in the world and might even be larger than that of any other country at this point.

Unless a VPN is required to access the intranet of your employee, then it is used for security at your home.
This (self described) rant seems to miss that news organisations need a business model, and Buzzfeed seems to have found one.

Or driving small businesses out. Carbon taxes make it difficult for smaller Factories to pay their utility bills. So they either close or lay off workers.

Musk's plan is to build sportscars and eventually transition into more 'family' cars. His process is fairly simple starting with limited runs of Luxury Electric cars to build a foundation/infrastructure, and then pivot into more mainstream affordable markets once technology/consumer opinion has advanced.
I'd like to add: if things aren't going well for you running more may not be the answer.

Source: I learned all about my terrible running form that kept sending me back to physical therapy by a doctor who actually bothered to look at me running and cared enough about the biomechanics to tell me what I was doing wrong.

Just like math and science (or arts or music) doesn't come naturally to everyone, the same is being connected with and in control of the muscles in your body. If you've spent the bulk of your adolescent and adult life in a chair (like I did), chances are your core muscles and stabilizers are weak and you won't be utilizing them correctly just by running more.
Any actual source for this? (Like a waybill, or customs documents. Not a press release.)

The article did give an example of context and tone -- a friendly ice cream vendor on the street -- but it didn't give the English translation for that context.

The Roman Catholic Church has had this thing sewn up for at least a millennium. Giving large amounts of money to the church on your deathbed is a surefire way to open the gates of heaven, or so I'm told.
For street level detail you could look at using OpenStreetMap. The main requirement there is attribution. But it's a massive amount of data and while there are free services, they do have load limits.

For a less detailed backdrop you could look at Natural Earth. For example, it has inner divisions of countries (so states and the like) in about 15 megabytes:

http://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/10m-cultural-vecto...

Or major city/town names in 1.5 megabytes:

(there are also less detailed versions of those datasets intended for use at smaller scales.)
Not really against remote code execution type exploits, more like password/session stealing attacks.

It doesn't need to be enforced reliably. It just needs to be reliable enough that your average person who might want to access one of the blocked resources doesn't manage to do so after spending a couple of hours trying the popular VPNs and such, and gives up because it's not worth the effort.
I always wonder about Hong Kong now that it is under the one country two systems - basically, I wonder if internet censorship will be lessened before HK internet openness disappears.
The ingredient list isn't copyrightable but other parts of the recipe (like images or explanations of how/why to do things) are: https://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl122.html

Is BuzzFeed copying those parts or replacing them with its own?

Also, related, it appears you can patent a recipe: https://www.uspto.gov/custom-page/inventors-eye-advice-1, though it wouldn't help much here.
In cloud it's the other way round. Amazon is the incumbent by far and Google is (one of) the threat(s).
You can still run touching the front of the foot and with the knee bent while running shoes, though it's true "barefoot" running forces you to do it in that way
They didn't take age of kids into account. But I agree with your reasoning, so I'd expect that there was a large difference for below 45 kids vs. no kids, and smaller difference for above 45. But no, in both age groups, kids vs. no kids had absolutely no effect.
