What you describe has nothing to do with jet versus prop, it's just big versus small. Small planes can land in small, unprepared fields, which are common in many parts of the world, whereas large planes can't. You could make a small jet-powered Cessna that would be just as capable of landing in such small places, while offering more safety due to better reliability of the engine. And an airliner-sized prop plane would be no more capable of landing in a hayfield than a 737 would be.
Well, hardly anyone is using it for anything other than speculating it might be useful one day. Everyone buys and lets the coins sit and for some reason people think this is a good useful thing to do?

Also it's quiet interesting that every major price increase, and nose dive has been associated with multi-million dollar margin trading on Bitfinix via Tether markets (which are suspected to be created out of thin air).

If the allegations are true, Bitcoin's price is mostly the result of a market controlled by a single exchange, who now holds a significant percentage of the supply.

"As fall semester kicked up, RoBhat hand-picked 100 Twitter accounts with automated behavior to serve as “ground truth” data to train their model. They picked accounts with several red flags: ones that joined the site, say, a month prior but had tweeted 10,000 times, or ones that were followed by thousands of other suspected bots. (“I no longer feel bad about how few Twitter followers I have,” quips Bhat, follower count: 1,250.) They then added those accounts’ followers into the “ground truth” set as well. They needed a large number for their machine to analyze—6,000 in all."

Seems a little bit dubious to label followers as ground truth data.
You nailed it. The most exciting part about all of this is being able to move between a "data science" context and a "database" context (and back again) without pain or penalty.
I don't mean to challenge you, but I think your assumptions about how easy it is for others to do something you consider rudimentary are based in an undeclared set of privileges and fortune.

I used to work for Brown & Williamson Tobacco (though I did not receive my $608k per year), and I can absolutely attest that their profits are not as the author suggests "return on talent". I worked at corporate HQ, which is probably very different from the factories where the cigarettes were actually made. The vast majority of people spent the vast majority of their time looking for work to do, because we quite literally had nothing to do. We had something like 20 corporate holidays, plus many other "bonus" holidays announced a day or two ahead of time, and many half-days. One story goes that the CEO was talking to someone about our building and someone on the street asked her "How many people work in that building", and her response was "Oh, about half".

The cost of modifying simple tests is negligible. Getting your tests to that point is a big shift in how people interact with them.

Modifying complicated tests can be unbounded, and I think a lot of the pushback comes from these situation.

It is very possible to create tests that are worse than doing nothing. It can be a roadmap for learned helplessness, too.
Judge work by what it does, not by what it doesn't have.

Like users, programmers don't care whether programs have tests as long as it does what it needs to do.

Interesting - that 25% seems to come from managers estimating the impact, not from developers.

Increase in time taken to code the feature because 15–20% 25–35% 15% 25–20%
of TDD (%) [Management estimates]

And this seems to imply that any increase in time was offset by reduced maintenance costs due to improved quality.

Another interesting observation from the outcome measures in Table 3 is the increase in
time to develop the features attributed to the usage of the TDD practice, as subjectively
estimated by management. The increase in development time ranges from 15% to 35%.
From an efficacy perspective this increase in development time is offset by the by the
reduced maintenance costs due to the improvement in quality (Erdogmus and Williams
2003), an observation that was backed up the product teams at Microsoft and IBM.
> In most businesses, the only tests that have business value are those that are derived from business requirements.

This is, imo, the most important takeaway and it is, or should be, obvious, but it often isn't (maybe because "common sense is the least common of senses" or something like that). It's also what I strive for, with one caveat[1].

> One is to use it as a
learning tool: to learn more about the program and how it
works.

Another great takeaway. Good tests should work as documentation, imo. I consider this another test quality metric, even: If looking at the tests only confuses me further, those tests need to be changed (and the code they're testing too, most likely).

[1]: Striving for this can turn code coverage into an useful metric. Not of correctness, of course, but on how much code we're writing that doesn't solve a business requirement. That code should be refactored away to separate libraries or replaced with third party libraries that already do that. I'm firmly in the "avoid NIH" camp.

Data frames do work well. You are correct that it is mainly an abstraction on top of the existing spark RDD representation. The language is Scala, though a slightly strange string/macro-based sql-ish API. Perhaps you can tell from that description I'm a bit luke-warm on it.

There are a few big benefits to immutability. Redundancy and resilience is a big one, but you also get some improved performance because the compiler and planner can more aggressively optimize, and do things like predicate push-down since it doesn't have to materialize everything. It also gets you a lot of the more general programming benefits of immutability/FP in preventing bugs and such.

I somewhat agree with your point about data volume. The situations that require Spark are relatively infrequent. But they are becoming more common. A lot of data is required when you start getting into building more complex machine learning models. But for a lot of your run-of-the-mill regression or basic understanding analysis, Spark is way overkill.
I was part of a team developing a travel product which needed huge amounts of data from flights to car rental... My god the travel industry is a mess in terms of accessible data. It was the biggest pain point. API's would randomly change structure, endpoints would stop working with unknown errors, data would be significantly different across companies for the same data etc... It was a shambles. Never again will I develop in the travel industry. Unless you own the data, working with it is terrible.

We ended up building our own little system that merged our own flight data with data from suppliers. The schema some of the suppliers provided was non sensical and it ended up being a really finely tuned system that would break reguarly if one of the data suppliers decided to change it without notice.

I spent my days dreaming of a standardized data pool, and while some of the data was standardized, not enough of it was.

Thank goodness I'm now working in an industry that we can totally own our data and are not reliant on anyone else for it.
If you mean "nobody would write 49 tests for a function when they could get away with writing one test and have it show up as 100% code coverage because people are lazy bastards" then I agree, and that's the problem: cargo culting the metrics. Look we have 100% code coverage! We are awesome!

If you mean, "no look seriously, you'd need 49 tests for every method because you're a bank", well then, no, you actually need less than 49 (since some are subsets of the others), and in reality even this would get very tiring so you'd write a currency class that can't overflow, and yes, being a bank we would test every case and certainly use automated test generation while we're at it.

But if you mean that in general, for non-banks, the classes of values is too large to manually write unit tests for, then we disagree. That means that your method is too complex.

Given how unreliable interviews can be (both phone and in person), you'd have to solve it with another mechanism.

This seems like an unreasonable approach given the quality of their graphics. They might as well train an GAN to replace the entire rendering pipeline if they are using just simple images! Train it to generate images directly from pose information. They really should focus on improving their rendering beyond a 1993 level if they want a robust solution.

Writing a 9P server from scratch (2016)
The author is correct, in the sense that over the lifetime of a software project 90% of the value from unit testing will come from 10% of the tests. The problem is that you won't know in advance which 10% that's going to be, so you have to write and maintain all of them.

>There's a human cost, but your life isn't over because your business fails.

It very well might be, because losing your business can mean losing everything you have, including your home and your ability to pay for food. For many small business owners their business represents everything they have.

>I used to wonder how investors could throw themselves out of 10th floor windows after finding their shares had become worthless, whereas other folks who never owned any stock feel great.

Because it's not about having or not having stock, it's that those people found they had nothing left, while someone who never owned stock still has their job and their home. Imagine waking up tomorrow and learning that over night you lost all of your money and assets and you might see why this could break someone.

I'm guessing you're someone who's never had to face the real possibility of homelessness or going without food because you can't afford it, and on top of that knowing there's no clear way out of that situation.
>> Here's the crux of your argument - and I honestly think it's a flawed premise: The failure of unit tests indicates something other than "Something Changed".

Even if all you know is "something changed", that's valuable. Pre-existing unit tests can give you confidence that you understand the change you made. You may find an unexpected failure that alerts you to an interaction you didn't consider. Or maybe you'll see a pass where you expected failure, and have a mystery to solve. Or you may see that the tests are failing exactly how you expected they would. At least you have more information than "well, it compiled".

And if "the unit tests are providing no actual indication that their changes were the correct changes to make", even the staunchest proponents of TDD would probably advise you to delete those tests. If there's 1 thing most proponents and opponents of unit testing can agree on, it's probably that low-value tests are worse than none at all.

I have no idea if this describes you, but I've noticed a really unfortunate trend where experienced engineers decide to try out TDD, write low-value tests that become a drag on the project, and assume that their output is representative of the practice in general before they've put the time in to make it over the learning curve. People like to assume that skilled devs just inherently know how to write good unit tests, but testing is itself a skill that must be specifically cultivated.
I don't play cop at all. I like biking and use public transport fairly often. I do separate garbage etc. I don't think that driving is inherently immoral. I think that when you are framing it that way, you are overstating individual contribution to bad environment. Otherwise said, you are manipulating and exaggerating and using fear to get your wish.

And better public infrastructure for biking here did came after a lobbying and money collection and what not from activists. They did not used the "you are all bad people unless we get what we want" nor "we are hollier then you" strategy. And yep, such strategy breeds more stubborn resistance - because while many people are with accepting bike trail and what not (it does not costs all that much in the grand scheme of things), once you insult them you pretty much lost before you even started.

Reminds me of my time spent being a customer to a real estate MLS. When industries traditionally rented access to information asymmetry, even if those rents have since diminished, there's a lingering cultural momentum not to "show your hand" by playing nice with information (in addition to these not being organizations with the insight and incentives aligned to be attractive or conducive to IT competence).
