I think the future of physics is in Energy Wave Theory. Maybe not that theory exactly, but a similar theory going back to the idea of some kind of ether in which waves propagate.

I'm not ignoring anything. Obama was successful in his first year, in part because of how much effort he put into being bipartisan. He did not have much success in getting Republicans to vote for his massive landmark policies, but his

I'm answering your question by suggesting that Obama could have gotten much more done if he had not been so extremely partisan from day 1. When it became clear he was not going to negotiate any changes to the monumental Obamacare law a

There was an opportunity for Obama to have a much more effective and bipartisan presidency early on. It wouldn't have been a friendly relationship, but certainly a more effective government. He rammed Obamacare through Congress very ea

It's this 75%. Europe needs gas because it's still winter and therefore needs the ability to pay Russia for it. The next biggest reason is probably just keeping arrows in the quiver. Why exhaust all sanction options up front and t

I think this is a very interesting idea. I've thought the same about railroads and the USA. The federal government largely subsidized the rapid expansion into the west with railroads that meant that expansion was haphazard and unsustai

I've never found anything better than Enunciate. Works very well and it's guaranteed always up to date because it's a compile time artifact. I really like that all the documentation and code are in one place, next to each oth

Actually there are lots of factors impacting horizontal and vertical integration in the capitalist economy. In general you are right that "external" restraints are needed to prevent a firm from competing so aggressively or moving

Looks like I misremembered the numbers a bit. 250k in all of 2021. 150k in Q1 2022. Still planning for 500k in Q2. https://mobile.twitter.com/EbenUpton/status/1486107991271260...

LOC isn't a meaningful metric. Flat out. You can think it is, but it's such a toxic, nonsensical concept that you deserve to get pushback for mentioning it. It's a waste of time in the presence of actually useful criteria pro

They only made 150k in all of 2021, so we're seeing the result of that right now. Good news is they're expecting to make 250k in Q1 2022 with 500k planned for Q2.

The more we insulate people from the repercussions of their actions the more we get perverse behavior. Let the towns go unpoliced. Either everything will be fine or they'll quickly refund thr police like every other city that tried tha

If the government knows it, the same data should be available to all citizens. Traffic camera feeds, voter data, medicare claims, everything. With minor, very narrow restrictions for the very latest military secrets.

It's definitely not "fewer and fewer users wanting a sync solution" and instead "more and more computer users we can sell something to if we pile features into our overloaded app". There's a criticism in there

Oh this ridiculous myth again? We know exactly what it was for: knitting. This is far from unsolved.

That's the kind of "difficult to predict and unlikely to be reported" thing that this sort of activity is well suited to capture. Otherwise you'd never know how much of an issue it was until it was on the news.

The problem isn't arbitrarily keeping the customer away from the devs and replacing them with a PO. The problem is the customer is fucking busy doing business and supporting two other software initiatives. They don't have time. Th

You're attributing gatekeeping to the wrong place here. The customer is the gate and the customer's unavailability is keeping the gate shut. The PO reduces that inadvertent gatekeeping by being always available with customer insig
