I'm curious whether it's the author's contention that the signatories of the Agile Manifesto thought that the ideas they were championing went back only a few years, and they had no idea they went back at least 30. In particular
> All of these things were later claimed as Agile innovations
Are there some references that demonstrate that? [EDIT: that the signatories thought they were their own innovations]
And if so, is that a bad thing? Ideas are repeatedly rediscovered. This article isn't called "Saying goodbye to Royce, Bell and Thayer", and I'm wondering why not.
It's as if people believed that all the microcomputing software of the 1970s and 1980s, from VisiCalc to Zork to the Macintosh, was done by waterfall design.
> Agile doesn't have that, there is no functional equivelant of "the cake should be moist and rise evenly".
That's not true for the way I understand agile. The way I understand it, the testable outcome is whether the principles of the agile manifesto are satisfied
For example, is your highest priority to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software? If not then you're not agile.
newtype FlippedIO a = MkFlippedIO { runFlippedIO :: IO a }
deriving Functor
instance Applicative FlippedIO where
pure = MkFlippedIO . pure
liftA2 f (MkFlippedIO x) (MkFlippedIO y) =
MkFlippedIO ((flip . liftA2 . flip) f x y)
data Person = Person String String
deriving Show
putStrLnFlipped = MkFlippedIO . putStrLn
getLineFlipped = MkFlippedIO getLine
getPerson :: IO Person
getPerson = runFlippedIO $
Person
<$> (putStrLnFlipped "Enter your first name:" *> getLineFlipped)
<*> (putStrLnFlipped "Enter your last name:" *> getLineFlipped)
It runs things "backwards":
ghci> getPerson
One
Enter your last name:
Two
Enter your first name:
Person "Two" "One"
> The wall extends across the so-called Blue Line and has made “more than 4,000 square metres [43,055sq feet] of Lebanese territory inaccessible to the Lebanese people”
So you're saying Israel's occupation of Lebanon amounts to 4,000 square metres? About the area of an athletics track, I guess? (Not counting the bit inside the athletics track.)
How much land area, exactly, is another nation allowed to seize by force before it becomes unacceptable to you? It obviously is not that much given the tone of your message.
That's not the question I'm interested in. The question I'm interested in is whether it's correct to claim that Israel occupies "parts of Lebanon", particularly in the context in which the claim was made, next to the claim that it occupies Gaza and the West Bank.
The goalpost is "Israel's occupation of ... parts of Lebanon". Do you agree with
tsimionescu that Israel occupies parts of Lebanon? Can you back that up?
> In October, UNIFIL peacekeepers conducted a geospatial survey of a concrete T-wall erected by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) southwest of Yaroun. The survey confirmed that the wall crossed the Blue Line, rendering more than 4,000 square metres of Lebanese territory inaccessible to the Lebanese people.
Right, OK, I guess if you're complaining about some land about the area of an athletics running track then you are technically correct. I'm not sure that's what people would have understood by tsimonescu's original claim that Israel is occupying parts of Lebanon.
And what exactly is Israel doing there, on that land the size of an athletics track? Something very nefarious?

The south. It's not a real occupation like the west bank, it's more of a 'raid and pillage' thing. No rape reported yet, so it isn't at all like the West Bank.
