New comment by ablekh in "A new programming language for high-performance computers"

ablekh — Sat, 12 Feb 2022 00:37:43 +0000

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.

New comment by ablekh in "Great engineering teams focus on milestones instead of projects"

ablekh — Wed, 29 Dec 2021 01:19:46 +0000

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.
