Readit NewsDid agile lead to this?
Features are planned in sprints. Add a widget here, remove a widget there. We end up with no design principles or vision, just a Frankenstein monster of junk.
His process sounds a lot like (dare I say) waterfall. Spending a long time in the design phase until you know what you want to build.
From the video and what I've read at folklore.org it sounds more like what Agile purports to be, writing software in a tight iteration loop, trying things, getting feedback and adapting to the changing needs of the project.
I think where Agile goes wrong is people thinking that you don't need someone who is actually experienced and good at writing software like this (like Atkinson), you can just pick a random individual off the streets who a lot of the time can't even code, and have them take a theoretical course about writing software like this.
A browser plugin, yes, that I installed to not go to insecure websites.
Does that really make the site insecure, though?
What’s the scenario, someone has launched an elaborate ARP cache attack in order to MITM a website about roads on Hawaii in order to get you mildly lost so that you have to pull over and look at Google Maps for directions, costing you an extra minute of travel time?

I don’t think the article made any claims about iron or heavy metals. At least nothing comes up when I search for either.
What makes you think this? It was flagged by users. No moderators had touched it, or seen it.
Flagging is one thing, but I assume that there is a human in the loop before a user is put in the dead state.
Flagged and dead? Are we to take that as Y-Combinator officially endorsing violent rioting and property destruction?

IIRC, the mouse pointer turning into a hand when you mouse over something clickable was original to HyperCard. And I think Brendan Eich was under a heavy influence of HyperTalk when created JavaScript.
Wasn't the pointer always a hand in HyperCard?

Maybe I have a too strict definition of systems programming languages, but I would never call a GC language a systems programming language. Who would use an operating system that suddenly stops the entire world because some random language's runtime wants to collect its memory garbage?
That said, well done for making this.
Isn't this a problem of allocating and freeing resources being generally non-deterministic, regardless of what algorithm is used?

To work at sea it would rather need a way to manually enter an offset, since customarily the local time on board is entirely at the discretion of the master.
Instead it was gatekept for grifters in order to separate gullible teenagers from their allowance.
