Yes, it works but directed by yourself and with yourself.

As an independent contractor working on usually large contracts, I can generate for each of my project a "workload", that is, the numbers of hours I need to work in a period and it produces a nice graph[0] with the target and the reality. The real work is pulled directly out of my work logs[1].

Since doing this, it helped me a lot managing long term developments.

Here's one thing brick-and-mortar stores could try learning from online retailers: stop bugging your customers.

If I need help looking for a TV, I'll ask. I promise, I'm not shy. But if I want to just LOOK at some TV's and see what's available, please stop hovering over my shoulder and asking me if I have any questions. I don't, really. I can read the specs. If you want me to spend $400 or more on something, you're gonna have to grant me some time to chew over the options and go home and do my research before coming back. Let me do that, and I might come back and buy from you. Pester me, stalk me, or refuse to let me leave without making veiled threats that "This TV may not be here when you come back," and I'll shop online.

For its part, Micro Center guys have usually been extremely helpful when I needed it and have always left me alone once I said "Just browsing." They've also periodically looked up the part on Newegg to see if they could price-match it.
I am not sure the above idea is mentioned by Michael Feathers in his amaze book "Working Effectively with Legacy Code" but it is a great idea, and combined with the things that Michael does cover will do you a lot of good!

I'm a little late to this thread, but I think short term rentals could be a bigger core problem than you've recognized. This is all hard to determine without data, and some of what I am worried about is a risk rather than a current reality, though it appears to be growing.

Here's where I'm coming from - in my lifetime, the percentage of SF residents under the age of 18 has dropped from about 22% to below 14%. Much of this happened without airbnb or short term rentals, so obviously they can't be the core cause. However, it could exacerbate it.

Airbnb makes it far easier to rent out a "spare" bedroom - in doing so, they vastly increase the value of having a "spare" bedroom that you don't use. So if you are a family with just one kid, three bedroom houses suddenly become much more attractive than two bedroom houses, because what used to be an occasional guest room is now an income generator. What happens when a family with two kids goes up against them in a bidding war? One family can factor in the extra income, the other factors in no extra income and the additional expenses of an additional kid.

airBnB(noKids, hasKids) {
unless(noKids.income(isWayHigherThan(hasKids.income)) {
numKidsSF--;
}
}

At least in that scenario someone is still going to be "from" SF (when this is no longer the case, SF will be nothing more than a disneyland for young people and empty nesters).

It can get worse - what happens if investors now realize that they can just buy the whole 3br house and treat it as a hotel?

I could see airbnb being a factor in driving the already collapsing percentage of SF residents who are children to even lower lows.

By the way, in all of this, I see a good place for airbnb. If a San Francisco family wants to leave for a vacation in Paris, and they can rent out their place for a couple of weeks, and vice-versa, this seems like a good thing. But if converting a "spare" bedroom means that what were formerly kid's bedrooms are too profitable as tourist rentals to be wasted on children, then no, this would be extremely destructive to SF.

We need to regulate this, and airbnb needs to be a good citizen and cooperate. The suggestions in this business insider are good ones.

You don't need be meeting daily to succeed -- just keep yourself a "public" log (well, public to the team at least) and write down everything in that log: TODOs, questions, ideas, etc.

Monitor your own progress and success and make it available to anyone to read.
If you like Mechina, I would recommend checking out Enshine. They just put out a new album entitled Singularity last month[1]. Again, it's more science fiction than what the author was referring to, but I have been enjoying it immensely.

One of the common complaints seems to be scheduling appointments to install and then failing to show up, often repeatedly. What I've read elsewhere suggests this happens because they heavily overbook their technicians. This seems like a remarkably efficient way to generate ill will. Given that Google's main advantage is "not having pissed everyone off", it also seems like a terrible business decision. I'm curious what sort of internal decision-making procedure would make that happen.
Alternatively, a Reddit post describing essentially the same thing, but in fewer words, that is a good read and has some good advice on avoiding/surviving these situations.

It's not really about their intentions, it's about the possibilities. Even if everyone involved right now has good intentions, who's to say everyone in the future will? The problem with collecting big swathes of data, or setting things up such that it easily could be collected, is that you're enabling future evil.

That's not true.

Attack Pattern | Seattle, WA or Los Angeles, CA | ONSITE

We are a high-end software development agency/startup incubator based in Seattle. We recruit exceptional software developers so we can provide engineering services to companies that need top developers, like CenturyLink, Walt Disney Pictures or Microsoft. When these companies need expert engineering help on projects, they come to us and our developers are embedded on their teams.

What makes us unique is that we have an internal startup incubator. We encourage our developers to work on side projects they are interested in and try to grow them into new startups. We support them with mentoring, funding and bonuses. We've launched several new products, including a successful analytics startup (http://www.numetric.com). Even if side-projects don't take off, developers still have an awesome time working on things they are passionate about and gain experience learning new tech.

Our compensation and benefits are great too. So you get the safety of a full-time job and the excitement of building new products.

We hiring for developers with expertise in pretty much every area: iOS, Android, ASP.NET MVC, node.js, Java, etc.

Interested? contact robert@attackpattern.com
I understand where the author is coming from - high speed serial transceivers really have undermined our traditional concept of a "machine". And in the uniform administrative domain of a data center, hardware refactorings are straightforward. So it's pretty nifty to think about these changes to fundamental constants (although the continual rewriting of software systems because they're not abstracted enough to treat it all as one cache hierarchy is disheartening).

But when moving across administrative boundaries, especially to a more ad-hoc environment, serious problems crop up. Some assumptions the author is handwaving away:

1. That 2ms to Youtube is to a single specific Youtube cache. If you're about to get on a plane, are you supposed to inform Google so that they can move your files across the country?

2. "The network is reliable" - what do you do while you're on that plane? DSL is still our national infrastructure policy so in many places that is the best that is available, especially if you want a choice of providers to avoid anti-consumer behavior.

2a. Or wifi. What is the latency of modern best-of-class consumer gear? I'm getting 16ms with a simple TL-WR703N. Never mind mobile...

3. Access patterns being so long-tail points to the continuing utility of end-user SSDs as non-volatile cache. The devices that would be most likely to drop them (cost, space, power) are generally on the worst network links.

4. The datacenter containing the notion of what data is authoritative (otherwise you wouldn't need to hit it for every access as outlined). What is the need for this?

5. The overhead of implementing oblivious transfer (or the alternative of being surveilled and having decreased economic power and freedom).

When you think in terms of datacenters, it's tempting to think that the next advancement is end-user computers becoming part of that system, but that is a skewed perspective. The pendulum swings back and forth, and I think we're pretty close to Peak Butt. The next deluge will be user-centric software that utilizes the butt for its strengths, but respects privacy and tracks the authoritative copy on user owned machines.

i'll wager a guess: kotlin compiles faster.
I hope someone intelligent is working on intelligence reallocation.
I guess that, given the difficulty we have with modelling pathfinding realistically in general, it's still a hard problem to simulate.
Agree with the general line of reasoning, but I'd guess more people are crushed by small crowds in the US than large ones, exactly because the low-hanging large-crowd fruit has been picked. Would need to see some numbers. It's easy to imagine that changing a concert amphitheaters costs of order a million dollars, so you're already talking about order billions of dollars nationwide.

To be sure, less developed countries have all sorts of fixes that ought to be made.
