The sklearn to me is (and mirrors) the insane amount of engineering that exists/existed to bring Jupyter notebooks to something more prod-worthy and reproducible. There’s always going to be re-engineering of these things, you don’t nee

11MPG/7MPG if towing. My Uncle was a traveling pipefitter and had the ‘87. The two tanks were _just_ big enough to make it from Phoenix to Yuma after a miscalculation of where the next gas station would be.

I’ve had a few different specialty brands of milk and there can be a difference, but I think that has more to do with the cows (and their diet) than the process. Jersey cow milk is probably more different than raw milk than pasteurized is f

I am enjoying the RePPIT framework from Mihail Eric. I think it’s a better formalization of developing without resulting to personas.

The last year it has really gone down hill — hard. Reporting is mediocre, photojournalism is forgettable, and the opinion section is absolute garbage.

I don’t think that’s what it would look like at all. The first stages would be cheap - mostly requirements gathering and research, but a bit more focus on that. A bit more time would be spent up front, but then you’d see multiple proposals

Waterfall came out when hardware and software had to be developed together, and appealed to traditional Engineering practitioners. You are right though, when the hardware constraints went away, software (more code) was cheaper and easier t

Agile itself is predicated on software being difficult to ship/expensive. It might not make sense to continue (waterfall might be better actually) The real problem is that company decisions will never be made as fast as software can be

It has always been been possible to program literately in programming languages - not to the extent that you can in Web, but good code can read like a story and obviate comments

Huawei was not on the NDAA (the congress part) until August 2019, well after companies started cutting ties in April/May of that year

What part? Are you doubting that they are being designated as a supply chain risk? Or the implications of being designated as one? We do have a recent example with Huawei, and it did fall just like this - and that was just some hardware.

Probably yes. Additionally the (probably more for AWS) won't be allowed to use it internally either. This will probably apply to all the top SaaS/software companies unilaterally. Additionally, every major university will undoubted

It is different this time. In certain professions it wasn't uncommon to spend $3k/year or more (in 2026 dollars) on software licenses - Adobe CS4/CS6 etc... with a handful of products easily pushed over that. In other profess

There is verification and validation. The first part is making sure you built to your specification, the second thing is making sure you built specification was correct. The second part is going to be the hard part for complex software and

you don’t build specifications, you build models like you would in model-based systems engineering, and then you follow the V-model process. In fact, this is how you build an aerospace program, satelite, and more. It is even possible to dev

There will continue to be new gas plants as long as there are coal plants which will be converted, usually around the time a major overhaul would need to be taken anyway.

Google, as a company, is easily ahead even if the model isn't, for various reasons. Their real mote is the cost efficiency and the ad business. They can (probably) justify the AI spend and stay solvent longer than the market can stay i

those are GPS based too. You typically would have a circuit you trained off off 1PPS and hopefully had a 10 or so satellites in view. You can get 50ns with this. Of course, you would verify at NIST.
