It is having fewer managers with larger teams so that managing from the top has less direct and indirect reports.

Agile has a 25+ year run since 2000. Object oriented has a 35 year run.

Business consulting firms - Gartner, Forrester, and such need a new "silver bullet" program, strategy, plan,.... to sell to upper management.

The newspaper did not try to association fallacy Mexico City's willful pumping out all if its groundwater to global warming for at least 7 paragraphs.

The media just cannot help itself, that new must somehow always link natural resource misuse (over-[umping of ground water for 100 years) to global warming.

"According to Nasa, the technology is also capable of monitoring the climate crisis, glacier sliding, agricultural productivity, soil moisture, forestry, coastal flooding and more."

How long before it is AI cameras to detect forest fires and autonomous AI to find and extinguish forest fires?

How long before the company making the robots to traverse the difficult terrains autonomously, point fire fighting equipment at fires and put out fires is "conveniently repurposed" to drop into war zones and autonomously find and extinguish an opposing force's robots, vehicles and soldiers?

> this version updates the code to compile with C99, makes it much easier to cross compile the code for other systems than the one running, and now uses Lua for its dungeon generation.

It never ceases to amaze me that developer spend the time to upgrade ancient code to the latest C version, yet add dependencies on sure to be broken add-ons like ancient niche scripting languages.

Is the question "How much of this was vibe-coded?"

The plants are less nutritious because farmers, governments. and corporation have spent the last 250 years finding ways to speed up pant growth , reduce time to harvest, reduce the effects of pests, and reduce the number of varieties of food grown.

Check the organic versus not organic spinach leaf thickness (or lettuce) at the store next time you shop.

Norway and Mexico produce a large amount of oil.. Will they also be phasing out drilling, pumping and exporting oil, tar, natural gas and other oil based products?

The protest generation, growing up in the 1960s and 1970s has largely retired from political, academic, corporate, media, nonprofits, and professional agitation groups.

The combination of these retirements is now, after decades of status-quo stagnation, allowing a more modern evaluation of government policies, political leadership, corporate policies, government budget priorities and everyday life.

The legacy building of not letting anything change for fear of it reducing the 1960s youth culture, anti-Vietnam, anti-nuclear, pro-(group X) rights, every crisis needs to be compared to Watergate, ... is/has ended.

Not all the changes are for the better. We can finally have reasoned discussion of issues without the cancel-culture of going against the orthodoxy and dogma of the 1960s protest culture tenants

Wizards of the Coast recently sanitized D&D yet again in the never-ending battle for truth, justice and appeasing busybody moms which seek to police everyone's language.

It's like the Home Owner's Association (HOA) board is the first elected office required in the lifelong training career of the language / action / (killing all joy) police.

Building a home from on-site clay will exclude the lumber, cement, insulation, and transportation industries from profiting from your home.

This is one of the reasons why adobe is not used in construction.

Some states, Texas, have laws allowing adobe buildings which gets around the national building codes long-time (big business profit friendly) list of approved building materials.

AI is the once in a decade opportunity for corporate leaders to cut the budgets for legacy SaaS systems and other sacred cows.

AI is just the latest excuse acceptable to Wall Street that corporations can use to blame for lackluster revenue and blame for layoffs.

The question we and Wall Street should be asking of the bottom 450 of the S&P 500 is why is revenue not increasing as fast as inflation? And then follow by, "How is cost cutting, paper shuffling operations like stock buybacks to make financial numbers look better going to grow top line revenue?"

For example, the big automakers, who have had little new products in the last 20 years except for more screens, the car as a subscription platform, harder to repair cars, less reliable cars (Toyota motor failures), and prices which have increased beyond inflation via feature stuffing so that middle cost truck costs more than the median family gross earnings for a year.

What's the next 10 years for cars, even higher costs with hundreds of additional "features" adding cost which are not the "drive from A to B in relative safety and confort" part of a car?

These apparently look like a shake up to the high paying revolving door jobs between government, bureaucracy, government contractors, nonprofits, wall street, universities, lobbyists, corporations and NGOs.

Does anyone know if and how much board members get paid for serving on the board?

The second question is, if you serve on the board, and also are a professor at a university, do you get compensated for both the university as well as the board membership?

Are these people getting rich, top 5%, by servicing on the board?

The world is unforgiving if you or one of your family members has an invisible impediment. One does not get the benefit of the doubt or consideration.

/. is better than this. Stop falling for the yellow journalism tactic of interviewing a much older person (David Gross is 85) and taking the most outrageous thing, prediction or person they did not like and making it out as significant "news".

There are hundreds of these "5 things TV star X hated about co-star Y" pretend "news" articles reported every year.

Stop please. Don't interview older famous or formerly famous people for a clickbait title.
