... where "abused" appears to cover most good-faith efforts to implement Agile in practice. When it works it's Agile—despite the fact that these implementations have very little in common. When it fails the mantra is always "Agile wasn't implemented properly". Agile has every characteristic of a utopian ideal that cannot survive contact with reality, or at least the realities of safety-critical software.

It’s a college class in which students are supposed to learn something new, that seems like a perfect example of a situation where you should be forced to do something outside your comfort zone.

I don’t interpret that as the college professor saying this is actually the best way to code, just that forcing students to struggle through it is a learning experience.
Also note that Azure revenue reports usually includes consulting work so the difference in market is even much larger than that.
What you say makes perfect sense but when you transpose to the real world the story changes. See how the most vocal and powerful climate activists work day and night to stifle nuclear energy as a perfectly good solution to fight climate change, by far the best solution out there to reduce emissions. Maybe gas is the second best solution to reduce emissions while we develop other solutions in the meantime.
Perhaps. But a general of which side? It was, I think, over Iran, so Iran's air defense would be the logical suspect. And Iran withholding the flight recorders would fit with that.

The more paranoid, of course, will look beyond the logical suspects...
I would go further than say it is an unnecessarily negative framing, this idea always seemed pretentious to me, nowadays it seems supressive.

Are they really imagined? Or is this idea mostly a "social contruct" that is not really accepted as reality outside of a few "intellectuals". They seem to be describing their delusions of grandeur. Is it not them that have the problem?

Expensive compared to what? Are you comparing the full costs of coal plants to nuclear, or are you just externalizing the costs as most comparisons do? The costs of coal need to include all the effects of coal emissions into the atmosphere, which may very well be incalculable.

Solar and wind of course are great, but has anyone figured out how to make those supply 100% of a nation's power needs, 24/7? I don't believe so: we don't have the storage technology yet.
I seem to recall Airbus having different engineering teams across EU using different versions of the CAD tool and then when they went to build the plane the wires were too short because one version of the CAD tool accounted for the radius of wires turning a corner while the other didn't.

I dunno, I heard music composed with neural nets that is above what the average human could achieve [1]. Not on par with the greatest composers, but over average human level.

In the same line of thought, I have seen models do symbolic math better than automatic solvers, generate paintings better than average humans could paint, even translate better than average second language learners.

I would rate current level in AI at 50% of human intelligence on average, and most of that was accomplished in the recent years.

Frozen pitot tubes causing an airspeed disagree is something we train for. The issue there isn't software, it's mechanical, and what the Airbus did is exactly what it's supposed to do according to the manual.

The problem there was the junior co-pilot responding all wrong and the other pilot not noticing because Airbus sticks don't move together. The captain woke up, came to check and realized what was wrong but did so too late to fix it.

> But what we can't do is keep potential adversaries in the dark and then spring them on them.

That seems like a very good strategy if you want to use nukes as a deterrent. I don't think this follows if you are planning on actually using them.

> That's because the problem with nuclear weapons is their unlimited ability to quickly escalate destruction.

This is tempered quite a bit by the target's economic ability. South Africa doesn't have an "unlimited ability to quickly escalate". Neither does Pakistan or North Korea. Those countries do have nukes, but they are so poor, it's just not plausible they have many, or particularly high yield ones at that.

Your point does hold for the US, Russia and China, though.

Maybe unpopular opinion: Most people don’t have any reason to look at maps beyond local area and it doesn’t automatically mean they’re stupid.

Middle east is not a continent and if you look at a global map without country lines then you might not notice it in relation to any point of reference, and as such have trouble locating it.

Knowing where a place is on map is not necessary to participate in democracy. Most people vote instinctively and just have a mental map that there’s a potential external threat and how should we respond to this threat. It’s about liberty vs. safety. Maps offer no help in this whatsoever.

Ramen is also a modern food, but at the opposite end of the spectrum compared to Pad Thai.

Pad Thai is top down designed. Made by the government to be appreciated by most people, but with enough character to make it distinctive of the country.

Ramen is bottom up. That's essentially people trying to make survival food taste good.

And it shows. The base recipe for Pad Thai is always the same, just like with traditional food. Individual chefs then add their own personal touch.

Ramen however vary wildly. It is a soup, and there are noodles in it but beside that there is no real recipe. There are some common themes (ex: pork, onion, seaweed, ...), but you will probably find more exception than there are rules.

While a restaurant can claim it serves "true" Pad Thai, "true" Ramen makes no sense.

That's pretty irrelevant. Fission and fusion are two totally separate processes. Fission is a process used in nuclear power plants to provide many gigawatts of power to electric grids. Fusion is something that's only used for science experiments and cannot generate useful power. Maybe it can in the future, and maybe in the future we'll also have holodecks and warp drive, but that isn't useful today.
This is currently already the case for cheats. When the game updates then the cheat needs to be updated as well. And you can definitely catch cheaters with the method you mentioned, so many cheats check the game version before doing anything.

This means immediately after an update many cheats stop working until they’re updated (or their creator flags the new game version as compatiable)

Alternatively, RSUs are a way of giving you what feels a little like money now, but if they change their mind later they don't have to pay you. Why would they pay you at all if they did not value you? RSUs are worth less than equivalent cash, getting RSUs should signal less commitment than a cash bonus.

To answer the original question, no, not worth loyalty, but no money is. You can think of them as a slightly complicated raise. That being said, over the past 10 years, RSUs have been very good for a lot of tech workers. They may or may not continue to be good.
You are totally ignoring the main point of the articles you linked! The reason we don't do it in america isn't because we have a lower risk tolerance, its because we built infrastructure that doesn't allow it[1],[2]. You linked to an article describing how Japanese children go out on errands for the family using public transportation and other infrastructure. They have built a community where you can get around without a car, and you have access to basic necessities interspersed with residential communities. We don't do either we build massive residential only neighborhoods with no public transportation and tens of miles of travel required to even get to a grocery store. That is a modern american development, and it prevents kids from participating because the only way we allow people to get around is via a car, and we don't let kids drive.

You have robbed kids of their independence, say its impossible for things to be different and blame parents for not letting kids roam. If you want kids to roam build high density livable developments that don't require cars and it will allow kids to be independent.

1. From the article

> School consolidation has lengthened the trip between home and school, and longer trips coincide with few children walking and bicycling. By increasing the distance between home and school, consolidation of schools may discourage physically active trips to school while encouraging higher levels of motor vehicle use and pollution.

> In Japanese cities, people are accustomed to walking everywhere, and public transportation trumps car culture
Yup. Why is this even posted on HN? Seems really low brow, honestly. I see this as the exact sort of click bait, anger inducing content a lot of people here want to avoid.

Why do we trust the poll if it doesn’t publish the survey contents and describe the methodology for participant selection? Survey design is extremely important, it’s like Stats 101. 2% margin of error, oh I’m sure.

Fun anecdote time: my high school was selected to take a survey on extracurricular activities. It was taken over a couple of days in the period before lunch and took like 2 hours total.

My memory is that everyone in the school used it as an exercise in creativity, with lots of people making themselves out to be drug abuser or gang members on paper, just for the novelty. I distinctly remember being surprised because so many people I didn’t expect(because they were typically honest, straight and narrow type folks) were laughing at their made up character who took meth every day before school and did heroin on the weekends, or whatever. Maybe it’s for this reason that the extreme importance of test design and method has stuck with me, but it seems like most people forget it after they pass Stats? hmmmm.

The point of the article is to promote travel.
For Alabama, there are plenty of beautiful hikes. Rivers: Coosa, Cahaba, Tennessee, Paint Rock, Elk; Mountains: Cheaha, Noccalula, Oak Mountain, Monte Sano, Red Mountain; Beaches: Gulf State Park, Daphne, Orange Beach; ;Lakes: Guntersville, Perry Lakes, Lake Martin. We have waterfalls, rock climbing, and canoeing too - which always involve hiking when I go!

Like any other state, Alabama can most certainly not be filtered down into a "best of" list, because we're all from different parts.

I imagine writing about the great outdoors is a challenge. There's nothing like the real thing!
So you think it's better to have massive quantities of CO2 and various pollutants (including radioactive ones) pumped into the atmosphere? How exactly is that better than a few buckets of nuclear waste?

But this potency will be in the past, as all the methane broke down in 2100. The effect of a warmer day now will surely be negligible a 100 years in a future and climate instead find a new equilibrium?
Very cool; I’m looking forward to playing with it. Just wondering - what’s the current state? Is the core language pretty well baked at this point, or is it open to changes?
For a while I ran an event called Pitchosaurus. We'd get together in the evening with beers. The general structure was:

Someone pitches the core of an idea. The idea can be either serious or ridiculous, but they should always pitch it as if it were serious.

Then everybody else, one at a time, proposed amendments or amplifications. These too may be serious or ridiculous, but they must be done in a "yes and" [1] style. No criticism is allowed (although add-ons may of course address a perceived flaw.

Eventually, when the amendments stop coming, a brief discussion of the idea and related topics is allowed. When that runs down, start again.

It was a lot of fun. I stopped doing it for life-happens reasons, but I'd encourage anybody to pick it up and run with it. It might be possible to capture the spirit in a website as well. Feel free to email or tweet at me if I can be of service.

You’re vastly off. Averaged over 20 years methane is (GWP) 104x as potent as CO2, averaged over 100 years it’s (GWP) 28x. But, to get that average you can calculate ((28 * 100) - (104 * 20)) / 80 = 9. So, from year 20 to year 100 it’s 9x as potent on average. You get this because 1 - (1/(2^(20/7)) = 86% of methane released today has broken down in 20 years.

Further, methane goes from CH4 atomic weight 18 to CO2 atomic weight 44. Thus, after breakdown you get (44/18) = 2.75x as much CO2 by weight. So, in 2120 methane produced today will be 99.995% CO2 and provide ~2.75x as much warming vs CO2 emitted today.

If it's really serious then the USA should be emphasizing expanding fracking operations further since that's been their most effective emissions reducer. Most of the country's emissions progress has been due to a mix of increased efficiency across particular consumption mediums (like cars) and natural gas replacing dirtier energy generation methods.
Thank you for working on this awesome project. One additional commentary I always make is that I wish Go and Rust had even a basic editor like the one Racket has: you can edit, and compile. You beat me to that suggestion so I'll keep an eye on your project.

Is there any possibility that you'll include some efforts towards doing back-end networking with this language as well? I could see multiplayer games needing servers after all.

Nuclear Fusion should be treated completely differently though.

It shares nuclear in the name and the similarities pretty much end there (the 'waste' from neutron activation of plasma facing components is negligible).

Fusion seems to be doing well these days with good progress on ITER, nice results from MAST and the approval of STEP. I remember Chen liked the idea of the Stellarator as it removed the need for the plasma current so perhaps we can expect good results from W7x as well.

The last thing I want is for fusion to have political issues due to being linked with fission power just because of the name.
> Semver still communicates intents pretty well. Well run projects will even roll back changes that ended up being semver incompatible

That sounds either worse. Software releases should be immutable, so no changing existing versions.

And also, if X.Y is incompatible (because they screwed up the versioning, as in your example), X.Z should also be incompatible (according to semver), otherwise you break semver twice instead of just once...

People thought that with LSTMs, and then we got transformers. People thought that with CNNs, and then we got Res-nets.

Progress is always that way. It plateaus, then suddenly jumps and then plateaus again.

If you complaint is about the general move away from statistics and deep learning becoming the norm, then there are a pretty decent number of labs who are working on coming up with whatever the next deep learning is. There is probabilistic programming and there models are some models with newer biologically inspired computation structures.

Even inside ML and deep learning, people are trying to come up with ways to better leverage unsupervised learning and building large common sense representations of the world.

There is certainly an oversupply of applied deeplearning practitioners, but there are other approaches being explored in the AI/ML community too.
First I'd recommend upgrading to VS 2019, because you're currently missing ~1.5 years' worth of improvements in C# and F# tooling (core development for VS 2017 stopped well before the VS 15.9 release to stabilize it). If it still reproduces, then please use the Report a Problem tool to file an issue. The team who builds C# tooling would be interested in fixing that kind of problem.
Emphasis on notable percentage. That percentage is likely so small that it is easily enough to ignore. It is also not close enough to a "protected class" under USA law (and I assume many other countries too), that is totally fine in the legal sense to ignore those people for the purpose of programming language awareness.
As a random aside, has anyone else noticed that headphone wires don't get tangled the way the used to? It used to be next to impossible to untangle headphones you put in your pocket. But I don't have anything Apple, so I haven't gotten into the AirPods at all, and my phones have kept the headphone jacks, so I still use headphones with wires.

I have noticed that the wires just don't get tangled like they used to. It takes a few shakes and maybe a pull to get them undone, where it used to take several minutes to get your headphones in a working state. Did "tangle-free" technology become ubiquitous or am I just imagining things?

That's fair:) A greenfield project is a project done from scratch or as a fresh start. This ranges from "new startup so we're starting from scratch" to " we've decided that the right thing to do in this huge Enterprise environment is to throw out everything we have and make a completely new pass at everything".
Well, I would clarify - In reference to the memory models I was talking about, it only applies to code written as part of those kernels, userspace code does not "inherit" that memory model. And I don't think portability of kernel code is much of a concern, the memory model is only one of a large variety of problems.

That said, for userspace, pthreads already gives enough guarantees on ordering via mutex's that there aren't really any problems unless you're trying to do atomics in userspace, which before C11 would have been hard to do portability. And the rest of the things I was talking about like the aliasing model are defined as part of the C standard (C89 and C99), so it's always the same regardless of the compiler (ignoring possible bugs).
I'm curious: who, if anybody, was your first customer for the opps* projects?

I'm a person with a big idea surplus, so I'm sure you had the supply end nailed. But who's on the demand end? This may be more related to my personality, but I just don't know anybody who ever is in the state of, "Gosh, I want to do something but have no idea what".
> See how the most vocal and powerful climate activists work day and night to stifle nuclear energy as a perfectly good solution to fight climate change

I don't think that conforms with reality. Off the top of my head, I looked up McKibben and Greta, and both see a role for nuclear power in decarbonization.

The bigger issue is that it's not prioritized because it'd split the environmental movement, but that's a far cry from "work day and night to stifle nuclear energy."
In the UK a Thai restaurant is typically at least semi-fancy, but you'll often be able to find a pad thai or thai red/green curry as an inexpensive option on a pub or cheap restaurant menu.

I went to Thailand a couple of a years ago and visited a restaurant in Bangkok that was supposed to have the best pad thai in the country. It was decent, but I've had better in the UK. The best thing about the restaurant was that every table had a pot of peanut dust that you could add as liberally as you liked to your meal.
