RF is extremely predictable. Its behavior was well predicted two decades ago. If you are predicting «happy path» only, then anything that deviates from «happy path» will surprise you. Peace time job for military headquarters is to predict «

I cannot understand why DDT is forbidden, but 10000x more powerful insecticides are not forbidden. WTF? Birds are dropping from the sky in Spring, because they have nothing to eat, because bugs are gone while seeds are not ready yet. Also,

Thank you for pointing it out. Spin-0 particles are round particles, like o (like ball), or something that cannot rotate at all. Spin-2 particles are symmetrical particles, like 8 (like H2 molecule). For spin-0, it can be changes in density

Bubbles + thermal noise. Noise causes vibration, vibration makes bubbles stable. Vibration also causes bubbles to stick together due to Casimir effect.

(Not a native speaker). Space is a mathematical abstraction. You can do anything with, because it's just math. If you want to bend, curve, distort, rip space, or add more dimensions — go for it. Physical medium should be compressible,

NATO is a defense alliance. If RF will directly attack a NATO country, then a nuclear war will begin. When a NATO country attacks another country, NATO will not be involved. EDIT: I'm wrong about Afghanistan.

If I read the paper correctly, the iterative approach considered as wasteful, and two-stage waterfall is recommended instead: documentation and planing at first stage, to find weak points first, then execution of the plan. IMHO, it was desi

Beta carotene is useless. Eyelid lifts, eye rolls, «snipping» corners of your monitor, frequent focus shifting (e.g. following of every tick on a ruler attached to your nose), are good for muscles, so they are recommended.

SCRUM is just a bunch of small Waterfalls. In SCRUM, we have 2-week sprints. It's not important when one of the sprints will fail, because we will adjust following one. Moreover, we plan for first 2 sprints to fail anyway. Why we shoul

> Doesn't Waterfall incorporate feedback? In my memory and experience, it does. No, by definition. Do you see a stream of water back to the beginning of waterfall in any waterfall on the planet? Nope.

Agile is just 20-30 small waterfalls instead of big one. How small a waterfall needs to be to fail?

SAFe works just fine when Agile is perfected, i.e. about 5 years after every day practicing of Agile. If you have no Agile to begin with, then you cannot scale it.

Water is a good, predictable process. It's just result bad. If the result is not important, then use waterfall.

Async programs are doing lazy evaluation, so they are better at discovering of critical path of execution. It's similar to out of order execution of instructions in CPU, but on a higher level. In theory, a compiler can (should) rearran

Why? It looks like an open contract for me, because price is an essential part of the contract. A contract with 0 price for all future labor is just slavery. Slavery is forbidden by law. Thus, you can make a game and then ask for reasonable
