Interesting! I wonder if it should give us pause that we're continuing to try to farm a creature that's so far proven too smart to allow us farm it successfully...

Might want to add [2011] to the title. The issues Brian discusses have been fixed/improved -- in HTCondor at least -- since this was written.

True, but the history of them being wrong is so long and rich it's rational to treat their assessments with a grain of salt. You can only hear, "This time is different, we've learned from the mistakes of the past," so m

Exactly this happened to me returning from an eclipse-watching destination this summer. Major highway was terribly clogged, so it routed thousands of us to a side road, which turned out to be much, much worse. It sucked. Took us five h

From the article: "Flexport wholistically analyzes all its data to optimize shipping routes and simplify relationships with ports, truck drivers and anyone else that touches a container". wholistically? ouch.
