I am wondering what resolution they work with. Because earth crust is moving continuously, and sometimes suddenly like 6 feet at once: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-07-22/ridgecre...
I like the idea to survey the whole planet, I would be curious to see what resolution they end up with, and how often it is updated.
@1: One could also have automated tests instead of scaffolding.

@2: Sure, but this it not really technical debt. It is the wise policy of not immediately writing code for the most general case. If one writes several instances of this it would lead to code duplication that would need to be refactored immediately.

@3: Careful with this one. The thing is that the thing you call an edge case might have the more proper name of 'bug'. If you deliberately leave in bugs at the time of writing the code it can lead to very difficult to estimate 'stabilization time' at the point where the code is supposed to go into production but is not quite reliable enough. It becomes somewhat difficult to explain if that 'stabilization time' turns out to be months or even as much as a year.
Unfortunately the reference to the actual minifier, SVGO (https://github.com/svg/svgo), is buried in the middle of the post.

SVGO is an incredible project driven by a single volunteer in spare time (originally Kir Belevich https://twitter.com/deepsweet , and for the last few years Lev Solntsev https://twitter.com/ruGreLI). It's the type of project you probably use regularly behind another tool like Sketch or SVGOMG (https://jakearchibald.github.io/svgomg/). They accept donations (https://www.paypal.me/deepsweet) and you should definitely consider contributing if you find it useful.

How do you qualify what constitutes a part of the country though? A whole lot of land changing hands and being conquered by force happened throughout the world's history.

I wonder how much of that unity sentiment is/was constructed and pushed on by leadership due to the area around current China being littered with competing kingdoms and a lot of internal strife and disarray throughout its history, not just the past 100 years.

In Chinese cinema, or at least some films, the theme of unity and to some extent 'glorious leadership' seems to be prevalent. Just came to mind that even in some Jet Li films (or equivalent) set in more ancient times you could probably be faced with some monologues or statements to that tune and at least I was a bit taken aback by how blatant it felt.

How to Organize a Successful Fundraiser
Multiple billions of dollars that you are cashing in _right now_ as inevitably hugely positive and beneficial.

As if the alternative investment of those limited funds wouldn't be MORE beneficial pushing the envelope of storage/solar/transmission/EV/battery research.

It's clear you're a fusion researcher, thus the only guaranteed benefits is your bottom line and continued ability to work in your desired field and specialty.

I am not a researcher, I'm just a generally frightened environmentalist, and my opinion is that this is a boondoggle that can wait for when lower scale pure research has produced a more clear path, and when bigger problems have been solved.

Luckily for you, I have zero input into budgeting and policy.

In a situation like this, if you're not willing to take the price hit on the chin in the long term, there's about two options: Change your cloud provider (to Azure) or change your platform (away from windows). It seems MS is betting there will be, on net, more people who take it on the chin &/or switch to Azure. But even if they're right, there will still be some loss of marketshare for those staying with AWS & ditching Windows. This seems like a Bad Thing in the long term, no matter the specifics of other short term gains.

The defining characteristic of technical debt is attempting to avoid paying it, taking shortcuts that create "interest" in the form of increased effort and cost; it's always bad, but depending on timing and costs it can range from a "correct" minimum cost choice (e.g. badly tested truly throwaway code) to a stupid mistake to an existential threat.

Technical debt is a close relative of externalization (I save time, you waste time) and of mistakes that result from incompetence rather than from haste and shortsightedness.

All three sections of the article, instead, describe healthy planned evolution from a decent provisional product to a better one, with solutions that might be rough but not necessarily bad.
In other words, a clickbait title for sound (but maybe unrealistically mature) examples of properly pragmatic project and product planning.
>since the grandparent comment left no room for any positive angle on this.

I do not see this. Grandparent said "a vocal minority", which I interpret as a specific vocal minority. Like when someone says "there is a vocal person in my team who is obnoxious" - it does not imply that all vocal people in all teams are obnoxious.

My point was the example given by the person I responded to is kind of irrelevant. Yes, vocal minorities have done great things for many, many people. The GP to my comment was not talking about those, and listing positive vocal minorities that exist or have existed is irrelevant.
> Furthermore, where the national recidivism (repeat offender) rate is over 75%, the rate in Judge Cicconetti's court is just 10%.

Wow. If this is true, it's impressive.
You do make some solid points. You assume, however, that there's a bandwidth cost between the load balancer and the backend which won't be true for everyone. You also don't consider the cache behind the load balancer might be much larger and have a much longer TTL than the CDN's cache. Economics of this sort of setup are entirely different if you're putting every piece on a cloud instance rather than having a rack somewhere with your private data flowing for free over your own switch.

Are those Cavendish bananas in Vietnam? If they're another variety consumed locally, that wouldn't contradict the article's claims:

> Although thousands of banana varieties grow around the world, only a few have the precise characteristics necessary to withstand the rigors of large-scale commercial cultivation, long-distance transport, and international marketing. A banana with those characteristics, a taste and appearance similar to the beloved Cavendish, and resistance to TR4 does not exist.

> ...would make the trial more conservative though...

If the doc correctly divines that the drug is improving things, yes, but there is noise in the signal so it may be just noise causing the few apparent improvements the doc sees. If so, doc's action may be smothering a less-then-obvious signal.

There's too much at stake for that to be acceptable.

> ...are estimating the effect of an intention to treat ( the randomisation) not the treatment itself.

I don't understand - the protocol applies the drug (aka the treatment) and results are measured. I don't understand 'intention to treat'. What is 'intention' here, so tech term I am not familiar with?

> when you enjoy zero tech debt and an excellent foundation.

This implies that you plan exactly when and where tech debt is accumulating or found. The scrum argument is that by iterating and releasing, you find out where unexpected tech debt is more rapidly; and you go back and fix it.

One way that #AgileIsDead happens is when products disregard the tech debt for features even as it becomes apparent.
> Over a few months in late 2012, the content of Taylor’s Facebook posts shifted from topics like trucks and music to videos from the hacktivist group Anonymous and posts about pandemic disease, the threat of GMO foods, the rise of Islam, and the Obama administration’s purported plans to confiscate everyone’s guns.

“Rise of Islam” is just a dog whistle for Islamophobia. The guy sounds like he fell into, or near, the conspiracy theory/paranoia/alt-right hole.
I would like to see a preview before signing up. Is that possible based on the current app structure?

Proving that the app state is up to par would be an instant factor to make me switch.

In business/commercial lending the purpose of the loan is typically a part of the contract. You can’t say you will use the money to buy equipment and then use it to pay off another debt. Also you will have to provide regular (yearly/quarterly) financial statements (typically audited) that include a balance sheet that would list all outstanding debts and assets. As long as you abide by all your existing and future loan covenants you certainly can use loans to pay off debt and many people do. When you can’t it’s due to contracts, not “laws”.

Technical debt is a luxury companies with an excess of resources have. Startups without an excess of resources do not have technical debt in that, if you have no more runway and shutter thr business all you have is a bunch of code that didn't justify its own existence. By definition it is a positive situation to be in.

So code that you can propose may be technical dept that make your Series A is good debt.
Conservatives once stood for "conserv"ation. The word literally means "aiming to preserve". In fact they used to be at the forefront of governmental intervention for environmental causes. (see: Teddy Roosevelt)

But that all started to change in the 1980s. And now the scale has completely flipped upside down. I very much appreciate their work from the turn of the 20th century beyond WWII. It saddens me what the current party is doing.
Extra effort? You have the anxiety of wondering if the spot will be open or not. Also as the method becomes more popular it would make sense that the spots will not be increased immediately and therefore will not be open. And of course the grocery store is only one place you go and how many people go there regularly enough to use it for charging and how many spots do they have or will have?

> It sounds way better than the current situation with gas.

There are a lot of sizes for the seeds. I have never seen the 'more seeds than fruit' you mention.

The difference is: the dose makes the poison.

Organisms may be able to handle everyday quantities of dsRNA, but beyond a certain concentration, you may suddenly see unexpected problems, which then cause domino effects throughout the ecosystem. These kinds of relationships are unknown unknowns, and they rarely behave linearly.

I really like the RNA-based approach, don't get me wrong, but the other commenters here are right to point out that hubris is dangerous.
You'd be surprised. When I interview developers in their early 20s, they say Microsoft is great because they created Typescript and VS Code, and now they'll make web devs' lives easier by embracing Chromium.

Yup, that was the original goal of the F-35. The idea was that by sharing parts across multiple variants and across multiple militaries, the F-35 would be a cheaper fighter than the F-22 that could scale to a larger fleet.

It's not totally crazy on the face of it- The expensive but undefeated F-15 and the relatively cheaper F-16 successfully pulled it off in the 20th century.

I do think you mean 2001, not entirely sure though.
Sweet idea! Looking forward to trying this out.
Iteration speed and quality are directly related, not inversely. Iterative development allows exploring software design considerations fast which means you get to actually good software instead of getting it right the first time.

Fast iteration means you can kill ugly design. Slow iteration means you get stuck with a design choice because you discovered its flaws too late.
I’m not a huge fan of obscene military spending, but the cancellation[0] of F-22 production must be one of the most boneheaded decisions I’ve seen in US military procurement. I must add the caveat that I have no security clearance so there may be other factors.

I don't think it has to do with Roman law. It seems the term originated much later:

Well, there's "okay" in the legal/contractual sense and there's "okay" in the customer-friendly, long term interests of the company. This move may be the former, but not the later, and MS seems to be banking on gaining more revenue for these licenses & switches to Azure than they lose when some customers decide to stick with AWS but move away from Windows. Either way, some group of customers, however small, will choose to move away from Windows, so their long term market share will be smaller. Is this "okay"? Depends on which way MS has placed its bets.

This is something that got me surprised when I came to the US: every banana is the same kind. Back home I used to have several kinds of bananas, each kind tasting like real fruits. US bananas have a bland taste, and always seem like they're still green (which is the case, because they become ripe by chemical processes).
I'm confused by this comment, especially since you seem to work with super computers. One of the biggest challenges in ECP (exascale computing project) is disk IO.
So much so that they were inventing complicated heterogeneous architectures. In fact many teams are just skipping disk all together and using in situ methods, only saving results. I would think that would be needed here.

But the question is what heavy processing computer doesn't have IO issues? Also, Blue Waters isn't really a GPU super computer like Summit and Sierra are (or the up coming Aurora and Frontier). It has 4228 nodes (out of ~27000 nodes) that have GPUs on them, and they only have one, and they are Keplers. Those aren't great GPUs and aren't going to do very well in parallel either. There's a big bottleneck in GPU IO. I think this program will not be utilizing GPUs very heavily. Worse, they don't have many CPUs per node. It's 8-16 cores and 32-64 GB memory per node. There's going to be a lot of time spent in communication.

I'll admit that BW doesn't seem like the best computer to the job, but you use what you got. I'll buy the argument that this is the wrong computer for the specific job, but what would you use besides a super computer? (I think Summit would be a good computer for this job)
