I want to think that ConTeXt is that successor. While has a slightly different markup from LaTeX but is still familiar enough, I find it typesetting/markup to be both consistent and flexible. It has the added bonus of being a monolithi

Reading your post, it is clear to me that management and engineers will rediscover the theory of constraints at some point if they can connect the dots.

I fail to see your point, as the base pipes can be combined with blocks and wrapping the target function into another function. Although, IMHO, if that many operations are crammed into a single pipe pass, then something is amiss.

While others have mentioned plenty of reasons, for this particular case I want to highlight 3 things: 1. Julia has great tooling for operations research/linear programming. JuMP provides an standardise interface to interact with solver

The statement holds true for a broad set of companies and management styles. I speak from personal experience: the wrong incentives are always there, and they run counter to many things listed by Deming. The obsession with "financial i

The core issue with the article is that author mixes up bad management and "fog of management" with the fact that financial results have a disproportionate amount of influence in how things are organised. Every team and employee s

Executives who focus on the financial side of things and do not care about correctness in operations are the ones steering lots of companies nowadays. Boeing is a good example/case study on how financialisation eats up companies from t

Another outstanding decision vetted by Tim Cook. In all seriousness, finance people see everything through the lens of margins and money primarily. Since any company's function is to deliver value to its shareholders, if allowed, bean

You know what would be nice? For these billionaires to start sponsoring people instead of sitting on the obscene heaps of money they have—a patronage system. Everyone wins.
