As a web developer I also have to tell you that my industry has gotten more cavalier about using resources. Unless your benchmark is browsing sites that you know have not changed in 15 years, the heaviness you feel could be from development teams using shiny new frameworks.
My guess is that he’ll get something closer to Bernie Madoff’s sentence than Elizabeth Holmes. She at least was pregnant at the time of sentencing and her defense was seemingly successful in painting her business partner as the puppeteer.
Do you realize you’re attacking a straw man? Has anyone in this thread said that Agile is a panacea? I think we can agree it is not, nor is anything a panacea.
I think you’re off in your analogy. Parent comment is closer to the 0-60 time because of the responsiveness, and you’re referring to time to move a 1000 lbs mass to 60. When I see “responsive” in terms of cooking and gas, I think of wok cooking (mentioned in the article too) where 100k BTUs are needed for a few seconds at a time to combust atomized oil droplets flipped over the edge of the wok. Combusting that oil properly leaves behind the a small amount of highly flavorful residue that sets apart the best bbq and wok fired dishes.
You can’t get this with a stove that only heats the cooking vessel, even if it has the ability to boil water faster than the same gas stove.
This is true. Do you think under those conditions, the ship would have symptomatic employees serving food or sharing bunks with asymptomatic employees? That really goes against the idea of quarantine, so I'd like to see evidence of that instead of assuming it.
The 737 Max is actually a great analogy, but you and I come to different conclusions. The FAA shot themselves in the foot by not grounding the Max after the second crash. They were previously so trusted that their standards were the default for other countries. The widespread trust made it easier and faster for American planes to go to market. That trust took decades to build up and will not be easily restored.
This isn't an accurate representation of how the number got to 700. The numbers were low when the ship docked. I recall in the single digits. Everyone was put on cabin quarantine, though people could leave their rooms for a window of time each day. It was quarantine and they were testing symptomatic people. I was watching mostly HK and Taiwanese news sources on it multiple times every day.
That makes me very skeptical of the WHO claim that asymptomatic spread isn't a problem.
The RTS games I know definitely do collision detection. StarCraft 2 disables collision detection in a few cases: workers harvesting resources, adept shading, and the colossus walking over ground units. To see what no collision detection would look like, see how the air units stack and move across each other.
I think collision avoidance might be overkill. It's fine if two units bump into each other while going in the same direction. Collision is bad if some units are moving through a choke point and the units in back turn around to take a different route because there's no open grid squares to walk forward through.
I'm currently playing through the StarCraft 1 campaign and the pathing differences with 2 are huge. Imagine being in line at Disneyland and every ten seconds, the people in front of you decide the entrance is blocked and turn around to try finding another way in. Then they bump into you and turn around again. Or maybe they just keep bumping into you for a bit.
