God I hated that movie. Loved the book. Hated the movie.

The only thing the movie had in common with the book was the name.

Although we can’t draw exact comparisons between the two, as FDD is a framework while TDD is a process, we’ll discover that each has noteworthy pros and cons As opposed to sales-driven development?

Or throw sh*t against the wall development.

SDD fits nicely with sales-driven promises on delivery dates!

Eventually it all turns into maintenance-driven development. New features, new innovation, updating frameworks and language versions, it all gets tossed out the window because the financial people say there's no budget, even when the product is making money. Basically, they don't want to spend money.
And so the product slowly obsoletes itself until browser technology, database technology, framework/language support ends, third party licenses expire, and we're back to square one:
This sh*t needs to be rewritten from scratch because it's so archaic and obsolete!
And if "they" only had had the foresight to do small incremental changes, maintain the licenses, etc., the cost would be significantly less. Not to mention retaining customers (gov't customers in our case) that when the contract for the product they are using ends, they sign up with someone that looks better and probably is better.

Agree to a point - management doesn't recognize the need to keep licenses and frameworks up-to-date, and when the software implodes due to management's neglect, the developers are eventually blamed for the subsequent software failures and inevitable budget crisis'. Sure a rewrite is okay as long as it doesn't involve the devs with the tribal knowledge because it's their fault everything went to hell in a hand basket.
In the case of government contracts, award decisions are made based on personal/political agendas, and have nothing to do with a rewrite. If a rewrite is done, it's under a different contract project name with no consideration for backward compatibility with the pre-existing system, nor training requirements because the UI is so radically different.

The system, called “Make-A-Scene,” is meant to demonstrate how AI has the potential to empower anyone to bring their imagination to life. Why are there no happy little squirrels?

A big difference between working in Go or Rust vs. some of the languages on the dreaded list has nothing to do with the specifics of the language syntax. Instead, the difference is the tooling and supporting ecosystem. "Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity."

I've long wondered if it's because so many hardcore advocates of new languages swear by CLIs and denigrate IDEs.

The FBI lost over 200 computers and other items such as night-vision scopes last year, according to internal records obtained by Motherboard. If only they had some investigators that would find them
Do they keep leaving them in taxis?

"lost"... yeah, right.

Chinese Wikipedia had a robust collection of detailed and authoritative articles on medieval Russia, thanks to a user called Zhemao who claimed to be the daughter of a diplomat assigned in the country. You mean scotch wasn't invented by a little old lady from Leningrad?

This is why wikipedia can never be used as source documentation for research.

Rate limiting provides a way to protect a resource in order to avoid overwhelming your app and keep traffic at a safe level. Sometimes you have to say enough is enough

Could we use that to limit the rate of unneeded or trashy new created apps too?
