I cannot see how this might be true in any situation except when your core product and efforts are always in one particular direction and a very particular area.

Many companies shift focus -- partially or completely -- as they grow, so I cannot see the wins in the quoted approach. You might gain a perfect understanding of an area and how a feedback loop improves productivity there but is that such an universal wisdom that it applies everywhere else you might go in the future?
I'd argue that going from shitting in the woods to a well engineered and cheap toilet is a much more attractive step for most people than having them dig outhouses. It's like with the washing mashines - once electrification is there it's one of the first purchases since it's such a quality of life improvement, and this has happened for a majority of the world's population.
There is "Vector Tiles" which do client side rendering, look at OpenLayers, Tangram or MapboxGL.

Server side rendering can be less intensive for the client, since it just has to show an image.

Is your startup ready for fundraising?
I'm not a civil engineer but I do work with them occasionally. There are numerous challenges with this, probably the hardest is water pressure: if the water pressure cannot be guaranteed then poor plumbing can send waste water back into the water main, which is a really big problem.

I also assume that to ensure water pressure involves electricity - a lot of poorer countries do not have a constant or reliable electricity supply.

Building this sort of infrastructure is a massive engineering task and it can take years to complete a project like this. It requires skilled engineers and labour. During that time, people will die because it's not done yet.

In conclusion, I think Gates and co have made a good investment.

Never mind all of them, one could ask whether some "horse-traded" policies are even a net positive for a simple majority? I'm thinking of, for instance, the Common Agricultural Policy.

This certainly isn't just an EU issue, or even confined to politics, small groups often seem to wield a disproportionate amount of power.

The way it works is that we use pre-fabricated components in conjunction with an ESB in order to create what is essentially a base for developers to then fill in with customization and business logic.
Think of it as a set of well structured libraries that can be automatically stitched together (with dependency management and merge conflict handling).
We don't reuse a customer's business logic - that's what makes their app unique. So for every customer we build for, there will always be that human element of customization.

As a father of daughters in the UK who really really enjoy going to Scouts; camping, stupid rough-and tumble games etc, I'm glad they are able to. If the girl's organisations such as the GirlGuides weren't so tepid, perhaps there wouldn't be a need.

I don't see that there's anything particularly particularly "politically" correct in this. Mind you, I've never particularly felt an overwhelming urge to "teach my children the value of femininity".

The current rules in cub scouts require separate dens for boys and girls.

As with everything, there's a false positive rate and a false negative rate. The less voter fraud you allow, the more voter suppression, and vice versa.

You can find the article I wrote on the same here: https://medium.com/techahoy/building-a-boilerplate-for-micro...
OVH does have its quirks (eg: pushing systemd-networkd and not using route advertisments) but their network is significantly better if you need to avoid the IPv4 CGNAT that cellphones sit behind, as IPv6 is the only means of doing so (long lived connections, 20ms or so latency savings, skip Firebase messaging, etc).

Other issues we ran into with AWS include congested peering with Centurylink & most Asian Pacific countries. Having gigabit via Centurylink and only being able to fill 2MB/s from AWS is crummy, esp. when competitors can reliably push many multiples of that.

>Moreover, Stuxnet was so advanced for the time that its existence stunned the world.

Not technically advanced. It was using a collection of 0-day exploits to get into a PC via a USB drive. Any basic hacker could accomplish that with existing exploit tooling.

What was so advanced about it was the coordination to enable it. The collection of 0-day exploits, the knowledge of the architecture of the centrifuge, and the engineering expertise to compromise the centrifuges in a non-obvious way.

Stuxnet was incredibly simple technologically, but it was distilled down to exactly what it needed to do and delivered to just the right people by an advanced vast intelligence apparatus. It did not depend on any breakthroughs in signals, encoding, hardware, etc. I'm not suggesting they aren't capable of technological breakthroughs, but stuxnet definitely isn't an example of one.
> I like Larry Wall solutions.

Me too, historically anyway, but I'm not a fan of this half-way approach. Someone explicitly requested that Larry create an alias for the language [0].

> If another name is truly as superior as the full-rename proponents claim it would be, I believe the alias can become a defacto name through its sheer amount of use. Thus, the creation of the alias can be seen as a means for the full-rename proponents to prove their claims.

Emphasis mine. Among other things, this does not compute for me. Adopting three names for the language (Raku, Raku Perl 6, Perl 6) is the exact opposite of what the full-rename proponents are suggesting. You're not giving them an opportunity to prove their claims, you're giving them the middle finger. Or that's how it seems to me, anyway.

Landing-page would have been a great opportunity to show the effects of the tool in action. Have a casual-text (a slightly longer version of what is stated there now) that explains it at the top and display different versions (utilizing different fonts) that use other lingo (i.e.: business, student, techies) at the bottom to show what the tool is actually doing. Add a prominent link to the examples, to show the actual tool in action, and I'm sold.

Genuine question: is Oracle actually still superior to alternative solutions these days?

I used to work with Oracle in my telco days, and RAC in particular was a nightmare to deal with. But then as now, the standard defense used to be "oh, the product is actually great, you just need to get set up right by one of the 3 Oracle DBAs on the planet who know what they're doing".
So... It's okay to harm third parties, i. e. VirtualBox users, not just as an unfortunate but unavoidable side effect, but as your means to punish the vendor for their (neglient? wilful? morally depraved?) failure to follow the idealised processes you envision, and for not honouring your genius with whatever your ego believes it is owed?
It’s not whether life is fair, it’s all about how you perceive things and it’s a choice to be happy. It may sound cheesy but I see people living in misery all the time, blaming everything and everyone else around them for their own lack of successes, when they don’t even realize their life is so much better than 90% of the world’s population. If you embrace more gratitude in your life and start living with the mentality that if you don’t succeed, the only reason is yourself and yourself only, I think you’ll find a lot more happiness and success. I recommend writing down at least 3 things or people that you’re grateful for before you go to bed every night.

>>Are we all becoming so politically correct that we effectively stop teaching our children the values of masculinity and femininity?

I think there is a lot of very confusing messaging nowadays, that says that "men are women are equal and identical and we shouldn't have anything just for men or just for women" while also saying "women/men bring unique things to the table so we should put more/less value on that". You can't have it both ways. We can(and should!) treat everyone equally, but denying that men and women are different is just wrong.

Where I am from(Poland) scouts(harcerze) were always inclusive of both genders except for troops which tried to be more military-oriented - then women were still allowed but the groups were separate.
You're absolutely correct in that we don't currently use blockchain tech anywhere in our stack yet!
It's something we're currently exploring as a way to augment our business in order to deal with complex problems like identity management, royalty payouts, and escrowed payments. Additionally, today we can only work with developers in devshops; in the future we want to expand into the freelancer market. Dealing with freelancers at scale is a complicated proposition, as it's been super hit and miss with a well structured workflow to manage them. We're hoping we can solve that problem with a mix of automation and blockchain.

Doesn't this discount the considerable economy-of-scale advantage that Amazon should have?
> Are we all becoming so politically correct that we effectively stop teaching our children the values of masculinity and femininity?

In my experience masculinity and femininity are a concept we largely teach kids. I've seen so many boys who love musicals, dolls, dressing up, crafting and all the other activities often associated as "girls things". Yet the moment they're spotted doing it by a group of their peers, they'll flip to "i hate dolls because they're girls toys" etc just to fit in.

And on the flip side, I've also seen plenty of girls who could be described as "tom boys" and really just love doing stuff that we often teach our kids to be a masculine property.

So I don't see it as being politically correct, I see it as humanity finally catching up that popular interests aren't so easily defined by boolean genders.

However as a former Scout I can testify that the actual reason Scouts have allowed girls into their groups was to compensate for dwindling membership. Some Scout groups resisted but many were forced to adopt mix gender simply to survive.

> Am I wrong in thinking that Coq for example can be considered a replacement of Prolog?

I don't know if you're right or wrong about that. But Coq is about as "dead" as Prolog is. That is, it isn't used very much for real-world programming. It doesn't look like it's going to become more alive very soon, either.

Even if Coq and Prolog can be considered as "in the same style/family", maybe the problem is that for most problems, most people just don't want to program that way?

I admire Gates a lot, but for him and way too many technophiles the answer is somehow always tech.

Africa does not have a toilet problem. Or a tech problem. Or even a resources problem. They have a lack of intelligent social organization problem; i.e. dysfunctional or non-existent institutions, laws and organizational structures, as well as myriad forms of corruption from top to bottom that make it impossible to create the systems that would otherwise keep them healthy, sanitary, safe, well-fed yada yada.

Maybe he could publicly ask, how every year, the Minister of Finance in Nigeria publishes a note indicating there is somehow billions of dollars missing from the coffers, that didn't make it over from the Ministry of Petro Resources, i.e Oil [1]? Or the like. Tackling the more obvious, glaring wide-open 'in our faces but we ignore anyhow' forms of corruption might be a good start, and would ultimately yield a lot more than functional toilets.

Security is definitely a topic we're super concerned about.
There's an interesting tradeoff with using re-usable components - that is, if there's a security vulnerability in one component, then all apps using it are affected (for example the notable npm incident https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/07/12/npm_eslint/)!
The flip side is that one can easily detect and patch all applications affected by that vulnerability. I'd love to have a chat with anyone who has some thoughts on how to deal with this problem more effectively (email is in my description).

Then people create objectives like:

O - Improve team efficiency

KR - Increase test coverage by X%

KR - Update at least Y outdated dependencies

Which are complete bullshit, easily gamed and don't actually make the company move forward or the team better.

But according to almost any OKR believer, these are great OKRs.

Making KRs measurable a lot of the times corrupts the OKR system. However if they aren't measurable, their value is sometimes questionable. Kind of a paradox.

Perhaps for huge corporations this kind of system is absolutely needed, but I'm experiencing this on a small company and it's honestly tiring and inefficient.
