Yes, I remember those times, trying to do structured programming in the unstructured environment. So, we both know that even very complex conditionals can be made readable by CRLFs, TABs, and inline comments. It is not about the language, it is about the person.

Actually, most of these regions have rain. (The Atacama does not!) And you do not need lush green forests right away, prairie grasses are a good start. Well-applied rain retention measures do work.

Before we try to bring water to a desert, we should stop turning livable places into deserts. If you take a ride on the I-20 or I-30, you will see a lot of harmful engineering and inconsiderate land use, both causing regions will lose the rain. You see, the annual average total rain is not given, it can change with the land use and rain handling. Gorchkov and Makarieva put it in good math and named one of these processes a biotic pump. Generally, we need to stop treating the rainwater as an obnoxious waste and we need to stop greedy water management practices and start sharing the water with nature.

BTW: just in case you need to know, I am not a dreamer, but I do have a good education in Hydrology. Currently, I am doing an experiment that will revive a couple of springs with very cheap and simple measures. Everything is measured and documented.

The copyright -- as long as it serves the author, not to be stolen by the publisher -- is the only source of income to authors outside of the academic world. So, that part has to be preserved. And generally, authors should have a say about the use of their work. Only misuse of the copyright (actually a forceful possession) should be restricted.

The copyright laws need an update so authors are not kept hostage to journals. The amount of work and (almost no) money corporations put into running scientific journals is not proportionate to the power they get.

Also the Antitrust Division of DOJ and the Bureau of Competition of the FTC should look into this. These companies do misuse the monopoly position and even collude and synchronise their actions.

Authors have to publish in current journals, do not get paid and then are not allowed or limited in sharing their work.

not really. So far, the issue is exaggerated. He obviously obraied made up or modified data from some insurance, used them without deep suspicion. Once it was obviousl that there experiments could not be replicated, he did publish the original data. And as soon as he saw indications of inappropriatenes, he withdraw the original paper.

So, so far, one lousy, or lazy and rushed up paper publication.

Thank you, this is a big clarification for me. Isn't the rush to apply prime discoveries in practice the main core of the problem?

Learn marketing from these guys who can sell mediocre product.

Also, some might sell because their App resembles something popular so some users buy by mistake. Then make sure, it does not parasitise on your app!

Even better, faster and more efficient than planting trees is increasing organic content of the soil. The soil has higher agricultural quality, can hold much more water and the capture is long-term, as long as the soil quality is kept. And you do not need new acreage, you imrove existing. The problem is: you have to stop using fungicides and herbicides and better pesticides too. At the state of the current ag, this can be done for many many yeas.

you add the tenantId to each table and you add it to the primary key of the table too. then you just merge.

Telling the customer that "we are SaaS and we will distribute all updates on our schedule" is really convenient for the provider. However, is that really the best service to your clients?

Controled burns are only a part of the solution, generally substituting for large grazing animals that would keep the forest density and undergrowth at bay. Also, a lot of wetland in Califormia was dried and even rivers were straightened and deprived of the traditional meandering and inundation area. All that makes California dryer, slowly but surely decreasing water stored in the soil and therefore also decreasing secondary rainfall (summer thunderstorms from local evapotransiration) that would keep forests less dry.

One aspect left out is upgrading: can you always distribute new features to all tenants at the same time? If a new feature requires some training or organizational change, then you need to deploy at the moment agreed on with the tenant. From this point if view, models 1. and 3. are viable.

If extensions are rare, you can keep a switch for each and separate upgrades on model 4. However, if you want changes on switch, then you have to keep old code in conditional branches of your code forever. High cost of ownership.

you beat me by 3 years

"When federal law enforcement is detached from the mission of national security and focuses (perhaps shortsightedly) on criminalizing certain benign behaviors, a chilling response from the security community will develop, and an even greater divide between law enforcement and the security community will unfold"

Agile is not about letting the customer to run the development process. It is about continuous communication with the customer to hammer on details and for better understanding of the subject domain.

so, in your building example, the project assumes doors will have handles. Decision about the color and shape of door handles is postponed and your wife can have her pick right at the moment the door is ready.

Have you ever seen unions concerned in improving work results, quality of the product and productivity? Accepting Even if workers conditions that could be more demanding?

the contrast is much more apparent than the analogy.

I worked in waterfall shops long enough to know that those were like unionized jobs where you could fair better by producing more code lines by copy/paste than by thinking. And the worst programmers moved the ladder to better paid non-programming "analyst" or "architect" jobs faster, not wasting their time on code details.
