Deep Neural Networks is an old idea which is now reborn.

This is an awkward metric to use since we don't get a columns (number of chars) specification here.

There's something like this in Lock and Key.

Can't remember have seen this.

?

Russia, huh? Martians?

This has been a quite good outcome of this pandemic.

Optimistic or pessimistic?

It seems nowadays it's hard to tell secrets through Zoom too. Hahahahahaha

(due to Zoom's infosec issues)

:clap: :clap: :clap:

I guess it can also motivate us to keep strong and go through this so we can get back to the good moments soon.

I just (correctly) wrote "though" in another comment but was still puzzled about this "tough", thinking the author had got it wrong. :S

The way I feel nostalgic the most is when I remember my childhood or any past time of my life as a time of complete happiness and satisfaction.

I know they weren't, though.

This is something like we use to say: "your neighbor is always happier". As if my neighbor is me myself in the past.

Have you folks experienced those symptoms?

Would you folks qualify what we're experiencing now as nostalgia? What was your idea about the concept (nostalgia) before reading this text? Has the reading changed it?

This seems pretty obvious to me. I don't know why or how it would be otherwise. This is what we're experiencing nowadays, isn't it?

I'd really like to know more about this.

Should we discern between nostalgia and just... missing something?

Is there anything you folks miss about your childhood?

Seems interesting. I'm not sure I really got it.

It's interesting to observe how the meaning of words can drastically change across times and cultures. Postman has very interesting writings about this in his book Technopoly.

This looks exactly like banzo, doesn't it?

Thinking of this matter in a more medical context reminded me of banzo.

I think our current situation and times set a perfect stage for us to reflect about how other people are suffering or have suffered a lot more than us.

I don't mean to demean our own suffering. Even if we aren't going through pungent financial and emotional struggle right now, we should have our own suffering legitimated -- even if it's through compassion by feeling others' pain.

But we must acknowledge that there are people who are going through really hard times these days. It's our duty to think of ways to helping them out as most as we can.

While looking for banzo I found this interesting reference: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/260768014_Slavery_and_nostaglia_in_Brazil_the_disease_known_as_banzo

How to pronounce it? :grimacing:

Why this for? I believe it regards for vs to, right?

This looks like something we could (and) do in Olinda.

This looks like nostalgia for new things while I think it should be more like nostalgia for... not necessarily old things but... common, banal things?

commonstalgia?

banalstagia?

trivialstalgia?

normalstagia?

The author seems to consider only the context where people are deeply embracing social distancing. We might want to acknowledge that in many places that's not always the case and the stuff we're missing now are still out there -- we can go for them if we want to.

My experience might be completely strangenous but if there's something good that I've learned from Scrum, XP, Agile and maybe even the Rational Unified Process is that there's always something new forming from them.

I don't mean new paradigms nor completely different ways of getting things done. I mean a completely custom experience and process specifically tailored to the teams undergoing them (and many times by themselves).

What would be Agile's "fundamental unit of information"?

Increasing? The Unreal Engine is 20+ years old. From the Wiki:

The Unreal Engine is a game engine developed by Epic Games, first showcased in the 1998 first-person shooter game Unreal.

I confess I had to exercise anger management for some extent while reading the piece. Reaching through to the end of the page and finding this hashtag made me feel a lot better.

This makes me feel like I'm stuck in the 80's.

This makes me think of container houses. It's cheaper, easier, and you can kind of customize it to what you'd like to call a home. Is it superseding all other kinds of houses?

Why does the fate of a specific niche (EDS) rule the luck of a broader methodology (Agile)?

Summarily: can't trust them, right?

Oh man! This might suck big time! Can't event think of living like that.

Personally, I'm not fond of longer sprints. I'd rather aim at quicker and more objective (or even less) processes and keep the sprint short for quicker feedback loops.

At the project I'm working on right now we do Status Meetings on Tuesday and Friday. The meeting usually lasts about 30min. I think it works pretty well.

Is everyone familiar with the concept of Agile (software development practice)?

Worth commenting: the CryoportalV2 case.

Speaking of businesses, we gotta acknowledge that teaching "the art of Scrum Masters" became a business itself.

Not human resources (The Man-Month Myth), right? Which resources?

Where is all this info dragged from?

I wonder which open source software projects the author is talking about. Is Linux being considered?

:(

WAT?

From here on we can grasp that this will be a completely subjective essay: all ideas and proposals subject to the individual experience of a practitioner team.

To desire that a man should retain everything he has ever read, is the same as wishing him to retain in his stomach all that he has ever eaten.

Schopenhauer

User-centered design?

?

Cheers!

Systems being less resilient doesn't necessarily means we are more vulnerable.

There's an entire discipline within Computer Science dedicated to achieve more reliable and fault-tolerant systems.

Many of the problems technologies tackle are boring and repetitive tasks. Many times leaking more complexity to the user might not mean making them more capable -- but only more stressed, discouraged and angry.

Does it really?

So engineers had to become better designers? Or we had to develop this "new" design discipline so that other people would be able to help with engineering?

The medium is the message.

I'm not sure we'd like to homogenize how all the companies are supposed to act. To try establish some ethics guideline within one single company seems reasonable (and already hard enough). But enforce that all companies think the same about any given matter is too much, I guess.

I think it's good that companies sometimes diverge in some opinions. Also, they should be free to act as they please -- as long as respecting the laws and the human rights (which are also laws, right!?).

Easy x Enjoyable

This reminds me of Avdi's talk on transactions.
