And the ultimate reason of this catastrophe was: Ignoring the System test result and prematurely releasing into production.

'test was stopped at the ship rocked so violently that it was feared that it would heel'... yet nobody did anything about it.

Nothing new for IT - shipping too early :)

I visited the museum as well and it's a fantastic experience. Well recommended, the best thing to do in Stockholm.

I've used the paper method in the beginnings of my English study and it worked well for me. SuperMemo was a really great tool and I liked it very much. Managed to keep using it for maybe 10 years, and I'm still sorry that I've stopped when the program and its community were in decline. But the method and algorithm remain the best and it's great to see it's used in modern applications - not just Anki but perhaps in all major language teaching apps. The fact that this article made it to HN front page speaks for itself.

As for using it for scientific paper study - depends what you expect from it. Spaced repetition is great for remembering and retention of facts. When I'm reading a scientifi paper, I rather struggle with the basic understanding of it :)
