> all the useful artifacts from it happened naturally because product and dev were so closely aligned. Aren't you just saying that DDD wasn't proposed as a solution to the problem because the problem didn't exist?…
Completely agree. I mostly get around by bike or running and I doubt I'll use scooters very much, but I'm excited for these to come to the city. The more people there are using alternative forms of transport, the more…
I agree. Seems like what Feynman really wants to say here is “this isn’t a question I’m personally interested in”, but frames it as “it’s dumb to be interested in this question”. We are only experiencing the end result…
Something I realized recently is that I'm not addicted to social media or any apps in particular, but I am addicted to my phone. I managed to give up pretty much all social media, save for an occasional peek at reddit…
Hope to see some musicians creating harmony with it live too.
Glad I'm not the only one. I was picturing myself being laughed out of the Roman Forum.
Policy from management is not beyond all reproach, but what venue you have for expressing disagreement varies by company. Do you think the firing of James Damore warranted the attention it got? Edit: removed a too…
There's been endless discussion about Damore. In particular podcasts you'd think that the firing of a random engineer at Google ranked alongside 9/11 as a defining event in modern history. If I circulated a memo to my…
> Electron is always a point, no matter what wave function it has. Therefore, from this perspective space is all empty. That depends on what interpretation you're going with. Even with that caveat, I'd be surprised if…
What appears to have happened here was that a climate denialist group that deliberately use "NAS" to confuse people into thinking they are receiving an invitation to speak at a conference by the National Academy of…
The advantage of scooter and bike share over owning is spontaneity. I love being able to grab a bike on a whim without any planning. And one-way trips is a big advantage, which of course only works because people are…
My mother's cat used to carry live mice into the house and release them. He'd bat the stunned mouse around but not kill it. I would have to catch the mouse and bring it back outside. The exact opposite behavior you want…

Genetic vs fluid is a false dichotomy. Whether you are the way you are because of your genes or because of conditions in early development (perhaps as far back as the womb), either way you don't get to choose.
Boomer logic: oppose every new construction project anywhere near your neighborhood and mock millennials when they find there is a scarcity of affordable housing.
This seems right to me. I would point out that you don't have to live a 20 minute drive from anything to be alone. Loneliness is as much a problem in cities as anywhere else. Also, isn't loneliness also a major issue in…
> A common mistake (those who see themselves as) clever people make is that they believe that if you win an argument, you are correct. You contradict this later by saying "We often care more about winning arguments than…
Verge is doing Google's bidding? I get the feeling that any information that counters the narrative that you're selling is "fake news", right? Western intelligence agencies all agree that a foreign adversary is working…
I don't understand this comment. An enlightening list of challenges facing programmers in a part of the world we don't often hear from. How is your comment appropriate at all here? Or did you accidentally comment on the…
No, under most interpretations of QM, things literally behave differently at that scale. Under Copenhagen, the wave literally collapses into a fixed position/momentum. The pre measurement wave isn't a statement of our…
So what? These sorts of criticisms are irritating. "Such and such is just virtue signalling and therefore bad" makes no sense. Everyone virtue signals all the time. It's just one of those things that human beings do.…
Good thing for the overall economy, so in this case for the EU as a whole. Increasing productive capacity overall is good because it means a society can afford more of the things it values. But again, the EU is in a…
Generally, freedom of movement is a good thing, allowing the most productive people to go to places that enable them to produce the most. The issue appears to be that the EU isn't a real country. Taxing winners and…
No one thinks that computers have free will. Not yet anyway. The idea that the conscious mind isn't the one making decisions seems to have implications for free will. Can you explain why it's misunderstanding of the…
