Re:A new programming language for high-performance computers

I would say that ATL is a domain-specific language (DSL). To be more accurate, I would refer to it as a horizontal DSL (as opposed to typical DSLs, which are usually focused on some vertical subject domain or industry). Another thought is that, if I were writing HPC-focused software today (and, especially, tomorrow), I would definitely much prefer Julia to ATL or similar niche solutions. Thanks to (likely) not much of, if any, loss of performance, but an incomparably wider spectrum of potential applications and covered domains. Plus, an additional benefit of lack of the two-language problem.

You can't measure that without stopping all Beta testers' interventions, which implies allowing the system to actually kill people.

Re:Great engineering teams focus on milestones instead of projects

Well, firstly, milestones is a standard term and even in this article the author points to the expected definition (reference to Wikipedia article). His "special version of milestones" does not imply another definition, but rather just some specific attributes / requirements / expectations for milestones to be used. Secondly, the author presents project and milestones as a dichotomy ("Most engineering organizations focus on delivering projects. They should focus on milestones instead." - emphasis mine), whereas, in fact, you cannot define milestones outside of the context of a project. Thus, it is not an either/or situation, but rather one where both concepts simply exist. One more note: while both concepts are orthogonal, they are not fully independent; meaning that milestones must belong to a project and a project can have milestones.

The core argument in the post makes no sense to me at all. Projects and milestones are orthogonal concepts.

If you would decide or have to use Vue for a complex project today, would you use Tailwind with Vue? If yes, why? If no, why not? Would your answer and rationale change in cases, when you decide or have to use a Web application framework like Nuxt or a UI component library like Vuetify and PrimeVue?
