This article makes the dumbest assertions I've heard about quality software development in quite a while. The "study" isn't really a study. Even so, the metrics that it claims to derive aren't there for the picking.

I don't think the technology behind it was particularly new or novel. It was simply arranging known technology to a new application. Given the lack of research, but perhaps the high experimentation, millions make sense.

Oh god I hope not. I use DDG as my full time search engine. I don't need Apple coming in, limiting it to their walled garden and ruining it. You might be onto something though since DDG and Apple signed a deal on the default maps for D

It is inaccurate. You say "slightly slower". The metrics behind the delays are much longer and your numbers only seem to include time in transit. Second reason your summary is inaccurate: DeJoy's changes are rolled out in sma

Not being as familiar with shipping, how would one find the metrics for this? Is there some kind of an initial "scan" upon drop-in to the box and then a second scan when they pick it up? If not, then I imagine the metrics would on

"Technically competent" is a wide spectrum, you'd like to have to narrow that down a little. I use Manjaro. Started my Linux journey on Knoppix (for coolness), then Ubuntu (for easy/popularity), then Fedora (for serious

These are not mutually exclusive. Option 3 is a consequence of not delivering on Option 2. No one is advocating holding the SIP just because its fun. The reason is because of a lack of control on it (Option 2). Removing SIP prematurely and

I mean, that makes perfect sense. Your local nursery is not selling essential good like you admitted. What is the logic of letting them be open? It is very difficult to produce a perfect list of all spaces and businesses that might be &quot

> The problem is that the shelter-in-place rule is already limited in effectiveness I've mostly read that the "control" we have over covid-19 now is due to the SIP. Can you source your claim?

:( I'm still flabbergasted at the need to compare to the EU or European states. No where in my original comments did I bring them up, or was thinking of them. Your snide metaphor also doesn't work since the EU does not override th

This is ridiculous. I don't understand the defensiveness. The United States is a nation. It has a federal government and federal bodies which are responsible for preventing spread of disease. People can travel freely within these bound

I mean, I'm really not comparing anything to the EU or European countries? It's simply a fact. Total death counts in the US are still going up. Once the quarantine is relaxed and things "open up", we WILL go through a se

Disagree. Amazon is doing pretty well due to the quarantine (as they deserve to given the services they provide). Them having to reduce their share of the profits from these extraordinary times is not particularly noble, but rather just ave

You missed the entire point of the article and your analysis from what you misunderstood is also somewhat daft. Supporting war because "[it] is inevitable, and better for it to start on our terms, when we have an advantage" __is__

I think this is a terrible move. Shelters are NOT a solution to homelessness. This move will give Amazon false bragging rights to say, hey look, our operational style, not paying taxes, and lobbying for a society that punishes the poor more

That's really not a good excuse. Doing the right thing should be a much greater desire than minor inconveniences. Are there other reasons you don't like FFX or prefer other browsers?
