A new experiment from MIT and Brown University researchers have added a capability to their ‘Northstar’ interactive data system that can “instantly generate machine-learning models” to use with their exiting data sets in order to generate useful predictions.

It seems to me that MIT is doing its absolute best to destroy its a-bit-higher-than-middling reputation -- and is making a spectacularly good job of it.
It might be time to look for the bad apple who is leading colleagues in that direction.

Developers have been lauded as being early adopters when it comes to technology products, but they seem to be late bloomers when it comes to dropping old habits. IOpinion

Quote: Let it go. It’s over. Hungarian Notation lost in 2003.
I hate excessive Hungarian as much as the next man - "intCount", "strName" and so forth are so absolutely dripping in redundancy that it hurts to look at them - but I'm not sure that the Great Hungarian Notation War should have led to total annihilation.
Yes, the "I" is a Hungarian throwback to some extent but effectively, it's telling me something in the way that a lot of other naming conventions are telling me something so that makes it no different from the case of the initial letter or a preceding underscore. Nobody has a problem with those.
Does it encourage people to think of a 1:1 relationship between interface and implementation? Yes, I think it does to an extent. This really is the nub of the anti-I argument and I do get where it's coming from, but personally, I'd rather have the same conventions running through everything and that for me is the clincher. Whether we like it or not (and heck, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it, either way) any .NET library that you'll ever work with is going to use the "I" prefix and for me code consistency is often more important than ideological purity.

Thanks for stating the case so well. Hungarian notation may be officially dead, but I still use it, though I have adapted my thinking somewhat, and I have begun to refrain from using it on the inputs to public methods that resemble or augment widely used interfaces.
IMO, Hungarian notation encapsulates essential information in a name, so that it conveys basic type and scope information without requiring an upward search of the code in which it appears.

The only place I really see Hungarian Notation at work is in our databases; and that is limited to the names of tables and views.
As for this article... While this is mostly about one person's opinion the opening code sample has a bigger vulnerability; and we wonder why SQL Injection still exists

I know some C# developer who - after reading some chapters of Uncle Bob's Clean Code - decided to omit the "I" in interface names, but to add "Impl" for classes implementing an interface...

Should be used like Classes: over my dead keyboard. This is like saying a curly tail is an abstraction of a pig 
I find Hungarian useful in naming Controls because the VS Property Browser (F4) shows them in alphabetical order.

The software update was supposed to improve safety after the jets were grounded worldwide following two fatal crashes. Who needs tests when you can just keep poking at the code until the planes stop crashing

Quote: Pilots testing the MCAS update in a simulator, however, found that it took them too long to recover the airplane if the software was trying to avoid a stall
My god, how hard is it to have a button that says "screw you, MCAS, give me control?" OK, yet another button, but there must be other alternatives equally simple. But what do I know?

From my understanding there is a switch/toggle to turn off MCAS.
The problem is that if you switch off MCAS while the trim is down the only way to retrim the aircraft is with the trim wheel, as using the trim switches on the yoke switch MCAS back on. That means if you switch off MCAS when the aircraft is in a dive you have 250+ turns of that wheel to make before the trim is back to its neutral position.

Also, the higher the airspeed, the more difficult it is to move that wheel. Based on multiple news reports, at any rate.

The goal of this post is to explore some concrete applications of this strange new operator and its associated counterpart, the operator== (yes it has been changed, for the better!), all while providing some guidelines for its use in everyday code. And I think it's gonna be a long, long time before I use this one
