As a former naval architect and a current marketing consultant to startups, I found that the same principle that lets a 13-person crew navigate the world’s largest container ship to a port halfway around the world without breaking down also applies to startups working towards aggressive growth goals "I just want your extra time and your KISS"

I kind of agree with him. I have faced a couple of overcomplicated things in my life. But the worst is not that, it is the "never change a running system" mentality used to the limit.
If you already find the problem (or I find it for you), please try to solve it (or let my try it if I think I can really solve it) before it explodes in (y)our face.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. "Proficiency takes less time", "Troubleshooting takes less time", etc.
Let's not dwell on the fact that designing a simple system takes either (and sometimes both):
• Ten times as long
• A large wealth of experience
Neither of which is readily available to most start-ups.
He might as well tell them that all they need is five billion euros (real billions, not the tiny US ones).

For NASA, redundancy is all-important. (Why send a single server beyond the stratosphere when you can send five?) Because sometimes it *is* rocket surgery

Rocket-surgery, how would that work?

Now if we could come up with redundant Operating Systems and Software....
I really hate it when my satellites go up in smoke because the rocket "ran out of time", or my jet engines turn off because they have been running to long.

The only thing I found even mildly interesting about the article was their assertion that there may be "insecure" WiFi services.
Is that why my connection is sometimes jittery?

The final specifier is useful for expressing to readers of the code that a class is not to be derived from and having the compiler enforce this, but it can also improve performance through aiding devirtualization. The Final word

Quote from the article: Marking your classes or member functions as final can improve the performance of your code... Talk about putting the cart before the horse! Marking something final should primarly be an architectural decision, not a performance decision. This author needs a ticket to the clue warehouse.

SETI@home has announced that they will no longer be distributing new work to clients starting on March 31st as they have enough data and want to focus on completing their back-end analysis of the data. Vulcans told them to stop spamming?
Or because no one uses screen savers anymore?

Logical conclusion would be that no advanced race sends us a recognizable signal, or that none exist.
Doesn't rule out they didn't exist, the may have died of some cough ofc.

No matter if they would come in peace... we would surely fvck it up and they would have to start fighting just in legitime defense.
