> 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? Starting

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 people becom

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 of what our senses sa

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 and this site, bu

I think what you're saying is valid, but the point I've been making is that the entire James Damore affair is interesting for pretty much the opposite reason to that which people who tend to bring it up claim. "It doesn'

How so, I didn't say anything about the content of the memo? Or you disagree that it did obvious harm to Google's policy on gender? We know that female employees received the memo and stated that it made them feel excluded, which

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 snarky question.

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 co-work

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 Sciences, was c

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 shuttling them around.

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 from a cat

50 years ago we walked on the moon. This year we're not. _They_ went to the moon, built the interstate system, subway system, etc. _We_ are barely maintaining what we inherited.

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.

This makes sense to me. If you're an expert you are comparing yourself to other experts in your field. On the other hand, if you know anything about a topic but only interact with people who know nothing at all about it, you would rate

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 other cult

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 ignorance of

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. Accusing

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 difficult place because

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 transferring resourc

You're probably right about signalling, but I think there's a more sympathetic take. The story of the Buddha is of a prince who had all a person could ever want, only to discover old-age, disease and death. He realized that suffer
