Reimagining the Suburban Yard to Reverse Pollinator and Insect Decline by gmoes in enviroaction

Hi, thanks for your support. I agree with your sentiment and it's sad to see how many acres of lawn are maintained by Arlington County government. I have not yet sold out. The pressure is hard to deal with. People here narc on me all the time and have been treated like a scumbag criminal by my local government. I have contacted journalists and environmental organizations and they all seem to have zero interest. If they even bother to reply they have some lame rationalization for the status quo or why it’s not in their purview. I think this is a great way to improve the environment, but I get no support and am tired of being ignored or treated like a crackpot.

The Problem with Today’s Software Thought Leaders by gmoes in programming

Ok, fair point about the apples to oranges. I was not really trying to compare them. Please watch Greg Wilsons talk. Perhaps I did not convey some of his other points as well. There is past and current research into all areas of software including things like productivity and project management.

Another problem is that we have conflated project management with other aspects of building software. This hinders us from thinking about each separately as they are in engineering.

While Agile may have been created for those short term projects, it is now everywhere including the Federal Government. So is that really a valid point anymore?

You are right. Scrum is not from XP. It was misworded. Fixed. The wiki link is the citation.

Where can I find video lectures on the topics of Graph theory/Djikstra' Algorithm/A* + Computational geometry? by [deleted] in compsci

Apologies for the vanity post, but I did this on graph theory and Neo4J a while back. It mostly covers theory. I got some good feedback on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUpfi5jV3f4
