I don't know if I agree with that. The problems of ontologies described in the article are still around today. Regardless, I thought it was an interesting read, and it put to words things I've observed but couldn't communicat

I have a feeling that "opinionated software" is popular exactly because of YAGNI. Users feel like it's made for them instead of everyone .

I’d say that the logical conclusion is that KPI’s are the problem here. Let the team measure themselves, bit give them a clear mandate and shared purpose. When teams are incomparable, no such rivalry can make sense.

But for every adversarial distortion algorithm, you’d in theory have to double your training set, wouldn’t you?

I think the better word is “trained”, not “robust”. By making almost invisible (to humans) distortions to a picture, a previously well-trained algorithm is now facing a completely unknown problem.

I second this. I have been diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, and my experience, before medication, sounded very similar.

> The thing Ive learned is that a lot of people have both a vested interest and a sort of stockholm syndrome with vendors. Not to mention “resume driven development”. Recruiters love cloud experience.

If anything, vendor lock-in is consistently underblown .

Caches seem to be much easier to handle using the actor model for handling concurrency. Actors can have their own cache, and since they queue messages and handle them in order, one at a time, the cache will never be out of sync. It does com

If all nodes had a 1:1,000,000,000 chance to randomly flip every tick, then resilient structures would probably arise eventually, given a very large (or infinite) board.

In the end, unless we are talking about natural calamities, everything is a people problem. Are blocked sewer is a people problem; it’s either poorly designed, poorly constructed, poorly maintained or a combination of causes. But in the end

It depends on what you mean by “stops working”. When social media becomes the primary driver of misinformation and anti-democratic sentiment, then it has arguably “stopped working”. While users might not be sick in the flesh, their minds wi

That might depend on your country of residence, but in Europe we have the right to all non-confidential data associated with us from any company that isn't "prohibitively expensive" to obtain, such as "all video footage

DHH of Basecamp had a long twitter thread about this. Their competitors bought “basecamp” as a keyword for google ads, effectively forcing basecamp to pay to stay #1 on searches for basecamp. Google has/had no policies restricting this

Maybe this is due to chinese and indian click farms running through VPN’s? Click farms click on everything in order to dodge fraud detection, as far as I know.

Technically, if they work 20% less with the same output, productivity has increased by 25% , not 20%. They are underpaid by 25%. It's weird that owners are paid proportional to aggregate productivity (units produced and sold), but tho

Yeah, downvotes are weird in that way. Comment sections that marks posts and comments with more downvotes than upvotes as "low quality" also seem to encourage "pile-on" behavior.

Few companies live longer than 15 years, even fewer employees and managers. In my experience, people rarely cares about consequences, they won't suffer from.

Thanks for the detailed answer. I guess the word “communication” threw me off.

What does it mean to communicate without information? That genuinely sounds like an oxymoron.

Wouldn’t that imply FTL travel, at least for information?

Well, in Denmark, government officials are part of the board of directors, so it's not independent either way.

I just wanted it to be financed through taxes as it used to be. It was completely ridiculous; after switching to a licensing model, DR’s costs for raking in money went up by about 15 million DKK just in fees to lawyers, if memory serves cor
