meganvito··on Global warming: The state of the climate in 2016
If it is truely a big problem, it will be more strengthful to let the denying end to fully deploy their defense. The hope may the system resilient enough not on an irreversable track which has a penalty not bailable.
meganvito··on Vancouver plans to tax empty properties 1% of their assessed value
Is it because the Berkeley dudes ain't that hippy any more?

I guess you are not in California.

Namely the incompetence in other sectors.

I think it is the government to be blamed failed to give a proper direction of the hot money.
meganvito··on Lessons from Outsourcing to India, China and the Philippines
The flow of capital tends toward a low hydrolic potential from a high end. When the potential is lost, things turn to medicore, people just look around for an exit.
meganvito··on Google Trends Electionland
Just curious, for such a big system, how the quality of such a large service system is assured? Even just for a single state.
meganvito··on Ralph J. Cicerone, scientist who worked to protect the ozone layer, has died
You may present the argument you consider as well excused. My point is that in the area of HVAC and environmental engineering departments in the universities at the time, the "ozone hole" argument was in-disputable. So my metaphor is that, the DMV may propose or just stipulate the best driving protocol for humanoid on a motor vehicle. The contrary motion may need more comprehensive and comprehensible materials to be sound.
meganvito··on Ralph J. Cicerone, scientist who worked to protect the ozone layer, has died
As a former HVAC engineering student, I was quite caught by "ozone" in this headline. Sorry, I did not continue with that career for some reason, for good or for bad, now doing an IT job. This ozone thing was talked about almost everyday, not everyday then very often, throughout the four-year study. I think it is a good example of "We did something, so a disaster did not happen". Maybe, also we should learn that we cannot let some people to prove they can create a disaster.
meganvito··on Docker in Production: A History of Failure
To be fair, I have not had the honor to be a docker customer. But regarding the kernel thing, I have limited IFY. Let's say if you goal is to keep yourself up-to-date with kernel tree, probably you have to compile the kernel DIY. The hardware dependencies and customized kernel config is not that handy. Then if you pick a distro, probably, not sure it is a problem, things like initd sneak into systemd/sysctl brought the element of surprises occasionally. While, to move or not to move, both are forwarding and backwarding.
meganvito··on Writing more legible SQL
I think that may be more compact, if the IDE can reflect the algebra beneath the SQL clauses.
meganvito··on Argonne researchers posit way to locally circumvent Second Law of Thermodynamics
Or say, just the particles are the "insiders" of the "established system", while the barrier not.
meganvito··on Argonne researchers posit way to locally circumvent Second Law of Thermodynamics
I am not sure but have a question, is the barrier a kind of potential implied in the system?
meganvito··on Google AI invents its own cryptographic algorithm
I see a trend to use arxiv for FLAG publichmonde. Not sure this is another BIG thing.
meganvito··on What Libraries Can (Still) Do (2015)
So far, we don't have any other proved examples to pass knowledge especially between generations than books.
meganvito··on Planet Found in Habitable Zone Around Nearest Star
Ye, I am at an age too many untangile zeroes that I have no nexus.
meganvito··on Google’s QUIC protocol: moving the web from TCP to UDP
I think before googlers stopping add dramas to our daily drop sorry typo, job. Maybe I kindaly sort of suggest them dedup the www and provide web-wise random file access.
meganvito··on The 9 lines of code that Google allegedly stole from Oracle
I would leave my last comment, doing 'cheap things' is/are habitual.
meganvito··on The 9 lines of code that Google allegedly stole from Oracle
If anybody considering being contributing to 'open source' weighs that in an easy credit is just for others, at least me will reconsider.
meganvito··on The 9 lines of code that Google allegedly stole from Oracle
In the university I graduated, the professor definitely will mark plagiarism and give an F, unless a strict rule of sourcing followed. Most openjdk source has the first line a usual header. Maybe I am a late student of JDK. or may be there the court may prevail an exception. Finally you have to consider yourself what do we mean to contribute to open source?
meganvito··on Agile Is Dead, Long Live Continuous Delivery
I think what features this article is exactly what we see the one facet of agileness of its practitioner. The distortion of science and engineering methodology and practice. Before you do a big thing, you have to prove a bunch of small things work as the foundation. Any increment will not be linearly scalable. Finally, what you claim should be strengthened by your data, charts, plots that are verifiable by others.

the wave can come from two slits, one beam comes later maybe
meganvito··on Physicists Detect Gravitational Waves, Proving Einstein Right
the wave can from two different slits, so one beam travels longer
