I work in QA for a startup doing web development. My bosses seem to refuse using a better bug tracking/organizing system. There are some improvements I would suggest for organization.

1. The search function is abysmal. If I search for "cats", it will not also find "cat".

2. If someone leaves the company they are turned into "ghost". That wouldn't be an issue except that you can't search or sort by ghost which means that everything assigned to them now has to be manually searched for.

3. There isn't a good way to make a ticket "in dev" > "in testing" etc. without labels. The labels then inflate since we already have high low etc. Then there are the category labels like performance or customer issue. In the end we have nearly 25 labels and it's almost more of a hindrance.

4. When a new feature is created there are of course a number of issues to fix before it's ready. The best way we've dealt with this is numbering each comment with an issue in it and then having a checklist on the bottom of the ticket that gets checked off. There needs to be some sort of easily view-able checklist which can either be used to indicate completeness of parts of a feature or smaller bugs in the scope of the ticket. It becomes really hard to manage, read, and find reported problems when you have 50+ comments that have bugs in them and another 30 that aren't near their original comment but are related.

5. This might be related to 3 but milestones are also a little limiting. The process we have now is to put something into the current sprint milestone, after it's been validated on a local system we move it to another milestone while we wait for the rest of the tickets. I don't think this is a great way to do this and things should have a status within a milestone.

6. For the love of god do something about the caching. I can go to a ticket where I've made a new comment myself 5 minutes prior, go back to the issues list, and back into that issue and I'm missing several days of comments until I refresh.
Split the transaction in YNAB, send your part to the correct category "Dining", and itemize owed amounts per person into another category "Loaned Money". It's easy to track if "Loaned Money" has a positive balance, and you don't screw up the budget for your Dining category.
Actually, we sort of already solved it. Wifi was never meant to go insanely long distances, and now spamming APs inside of even a smaller home is a cheap and effective way of dealing with signal problems.

60ghz (Added by 802.11ad) can't penetrate sheetrock effectively, let alone bother your neighbors, a much smaller distance than 5ghz (which has half-solved the dense urban environment issue on it's own, but not completely; the article overplays issues significantly).

I support abandoning 2.4ghz for Wifi and anything else that is high bandwidth. The good news is, the 802.11 Working Group and the major Wifi impl manufs agree with me, which is why 802.11ac is 5ghz only, and 802.11ad is 60ghz first, both of them removing 2.4ghz for anything but 802.11 b/g/n legacy connectivity.

Also, as a side note, I want the FCC to ban the LTE-over-5ghz plan. 5ghz is ours; they can have 2.4ghz, we're done with it.
I think your analogy is better than GPs, as you actually framed the issue in terms of proportional consumption.
Apache server. I know it is not a hip choice, but I've used it for more than 15 years to serve static and dynamic websites. I've changed tech stacks from perl to php to python used different data bases and Apache always just worked.

Also worth noting: I believe Caltrain was counting on some of the HSR money helping with its modernization project, bringing its section of the line up to spec for high-speed operation.

Which is a pressing issue, since Caltrain needs to replace its equipment at the very least, and probably straight-up needs to electrify its entire line.

If you have a 'nexus' in California, you are subject to that tax. Ask me how I came to find that out :)
What does municipal broadband have to do with that connection being worthless? If anything, that would just cause even more pollution.

We need to stop considering Wi-Fi the default mode of connectivity, and go back to it being a stopgap for devices where it's unpractical to have a wire.

Perhaps it's time to start building powerline connectivity into phone and laptop chargers?
See my other comment about having a 'nexus' in California (which is the topic here).
Absolutely ffmpeg. I guess it's not "stable" in the sense that the fast pace of development sometimes leads to changes in best practices, but damn is it excellent to use.

Well, first of all, quota and skill-based immigration is 'leave'. I thought you mentioned you didn't vote to leave..

Anyway, it was your vote, I don't really care.

My idea of racism, it sure is wide.

Who is John to limit people from going wherever they want, while trying to make a living? Does the place where John was born makes him different or special somehow? I consider this racism.
Isn't John going to end up making bricks same way as the migrant?

It just sounds way more rational to let the market decide. If immigrants can't find a job in here I'm sure they will leave and move some place else. If they happen to find a job and contribute to our society, then this should mean they have their place here. They should be able to stay and live.

And I'm sure there will be plenty of jobs, without the need for a specific skill set, that they will be willing to do. Jobs that many people in this country refuses to accept, because 'it's just £7 an hour' or because 'I didn't study for this' or whatever.
this particular research doesn't answer your question - though a followup study could

Exactly. HSR was a great idea for the second half of the 20th century in relatively dense countries like Japan, France, and Germany that already had good local rail infrastructure. It fills a gap for travel between dense population areas 100-500km(?) away, where road travel is too slow and air has too much overhead with last mile. The benefit was that train stations could be built directly in population centers and connected to local rail, cutting down on last mile travel times of air.

The US is more spread out, tilting in favor of air, and local rail is less abundant + our interstate highway system is more mature + gas is much cheaper, tilting in favor of cars. The value of rail is squeezed from both sides.

Now comes along a great technology that can bootstrap off existing infrastructure (road), offers the same benefit of time not wasted focusing on the road, whose cost burden is shouldered by those that use it (purchasing cars), and can incrementally be improved over time (higher speeds, drafting, separate lanes, etc). That further puts the squeeze on travel between shorter distances, which can make the promised SF-LA trip in <6 hours (instead of 4* via air) that can be reduced to 4 over time with faster speeds.

Driverless tech doesn't even need to work in places outside the controlled environment of a highway for these benefits to appear. Politicians could make it happen a few years sooner by making it more appealing (much as they did with hybrid carpool stickers) by creating a special driverless car lane on highways, separated by cement barriers. Although I think that's not as elegant as just bootstrapping on carpool lanes, it is possible now and would definitely spur car companies to upgrade their driverless systems to whatever requirements would be needed for that environment.

Certain parts of the US (east coast corridor) seem to me to be the only places in the US that could actually benefit from the HSR equation, but they have big right-of-way issues and there's a lot of political coordination that needs to happen. Amtrak's been trying for decades.

* Air calculation: 1.5h pre-flight, 1.5h flight, 1h post-flight
I imagine there's perception of issues similar to what plagues the bay area transit systems: in order to pass through an area you have to win the approval of every political unit of every size along the way (this is why BART ends where it does, for example, because San Mateo county refused to allow or participate in BART).

I'd love if we had some high speed inter-city rail in the US. Acela is a joke and it's the best we have. But building decent intra-city integrated mass transit systems in our major metropolitan areas ought to be a higher priority. Right now we have only one in a country with fifty-three metropolitan areas with more than one million people in them.

Of course one needn't preclude the other, but give that both ends of the mooted HSR line would terminate in cities with terrible and barely mediocre mass transit systems respectively, it is pretty clear that there are higher priority needs which those dollars should be allocated towards.

Lucky225 and Evan Doorbell (two contributors mentioned at the bottom) are pretty legendary phreaks. Probably they all are awesome people, I just know of those two. Evan Doorbell has an amazing collection of audio, if you're interested in this kind of thing.
Yeah; mainly for:

1) Testing embedded things over comms links.
2) Modelling/simulation, particularly discrete-time simulation.
3) Anything where the ability to generate permutations is important.
3a) At times, generating big tables in other languages like 'C' based on permutations, lists or other data.
4) Operating Excel/Word through OLE.

The thing that Python does not have is 1) packaging ( at least not as well ) and 2) sockets and other comms objects are first-class objects in Tcl.

It's a bit old (it has a 1990s aroma ) for web-based things, although there are web servers in Tcl, most
famously AOL's.

It's a fantastic duct-tape language.
Stereotypes aren't always accurate.
Total electronic surveillance seems to be the international norm at this point. Disgusting, disheartening, and disillusioning, but true. I've come across the phrase 'surveillance capitalism' to describe the present world order and it seems pretty spot on to me.
Also, you're probably learning during that time. Think about how young animals play: they practice a lot of the skills they need to survive. It builds dexterity, coordination, reflexes and strength.

Evolutionary speaking, those animals whose brains go into "extra learning mode" during exercise likely had a huge advantage over their peers whose brains didn't. Their brains picked up on skills related to hunting and survival and didn't waste energy building neural connections while they're sitting around not doing anything.
>>Do not forget that this very "self esteem" thingy is almost exclusively American. The other nations do not even think in such terms.

This over inflated sense of importance or "self esteem thingy" may be exclusively American but not anywhere close to all Americans subscribe to it. There are 330+ million people of various ages and backgrounds living in the US. I don't see how painting with such a broad brush like you have been does anything but inflame debate.

My question is this though, as much as people like bandying DK around, has it not been replicated? Specific to you, has the effect not been tested anywhere outside North America?

To quote the Steam ToS:

>TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER VALVE, VALVE EU, THEIR LICENSORS, NOR THEIR AFFILIATES, NOR ANY OF VALVE’S OR VALVE EU’S SERVICE PROVIDERS, SHALL BE LIABLE IN ANY WAY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND RESULTING [...]

Note the phrase "to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law" - that means that if a section is illegal, then it's not to the extent of including that section. It's pretty commonly used and it's actually pretty nifty, although I'd appreciate it more if companies didn't try to claim bloody everything with it attached.

Making unsweetened yogurt (plain or greek style) is surprisingly easy. It takes about 1/2 hour and I leave it overnight (in a cooler) to 'develop'.

I would recommend more people try it. It's generally better than store bought plain style yogurt and super-cheap.

I can get a gallon of milk (on sale, non hormone BST stuff) for about $2 (in CO, US). That will yield the same in yogurt (4 quarts.. I use quart mason jars).
It seems Dr. Aboujaoude has a pretty low opinion of people's ability to choose for themselves what they want. The gripes about incorrect capitalization seem particularly petty.

From the perspective of a GIS professional, I would add the PostGIS extension for PostgreSQL. The depth of spatial analysis options in PostGIS combined with the reliability and performance of PostgreSQL make a great combination. Throw in the cost savings compared to running MS SQL Server/Oracle + ESRI ArcGIS Server and I'm not sure why more GIS shops don't make the switch (Fear of FOSS, the command line, or having to assemble your own solution?).
In California, constitutionally, the power of referendum and initiative is reserved to the people, and does trump there per our the legislature. So, a system of government argument of the type you made would work for California.

The UK, however, has no such reserved powers of the people, but instead has parliamentary supremacy. The referendum is not, in that system, superior to the representatives.
The people in DC certainly use those interstates. How do you think goods get to the cities?

Bitvise SSH Client for Windows. It has SFTP, terminal, and simple profile management. It's a great free SSH app, however I recommend sending the developers some money cause it's really worth $10-$15 if you spend a lot of time using SSH.
That's very concrete advice, thanks! I'll look into that.
High speed rail cannot come close to replacing highways though. It deals with a fraction of the overall traffic that the highway system supports without near the flexibility. This is why even the countries that are making extensive use of high speed rail still have extensive highway systems.

Please note, I am in no way trying to imply that our current highway system works well, but that is a far different discussion.

You may have to get multiple teams to review your change before being allowed to commit it. And you have to run all their tests. If there is a problem the whole thing will typically get rolled back, which is a drag because then you have to fix the issue, run tests again and get approvals again.

So, in practice, for large-scale changes that affect many teams, we still try to break up large patches into multiple smaller steps, even working in a monorepo.

A single commit is nice for small patches that only affect a handful of teams, though.
Right but that very answer says:

> Newly created processes will use the updated contents, running applications will access the old version.

In other words, currently running code is still running the known-buggy version, exactly what I said originally that kicked-off this whole discussion.

This is mostly inaccurate. The final route chosen is mostly a straight-line path (as in no undue detours) through the Central Valley, and in fact attempts by the city of Visalia to get a station were rebuked [1][2][3], as it was out of the way. Instead, it was routed through neighboring Kings county which opposed HSR from the beginning.

Other strange 'curves' in the path are for cost reasons: it's cheaper to crest the Tehachapi mountains southeast of Bakersfield than to follow I-5 up the Grapevine through Tejon Pass and through difficult terrain down to Santa Clarita. Similarly, both the Altamont and Pacheco passes were considered to cross from the Central Valley into the greater Bay Area, with the Pacheco Pass (Gilroy - Los Banos) having won out because it was a more direct path between LA and SF.

I'm a huge fan of emacs, but even though I use it constantly, I do not consider it exceptionally reliable. A modern experience really does rely on a huge number of powerful and excellent but sometimes glitchy packages. (helm, org, haskell-mode/python-mode/etc.) I also find it crash prone on Windows, which is not totally surprising given Emacs' ownership, but disappointing.

That's because the weight of the gas cylinder is relative and you got the point of reference wrong: The base weight is when it's a vacuum inside the cylinder, because otherwise it doesn't even displace the air which you don't want to measure for your reference weight, making it appear heavier. Whatever you add inside the gas cylinder now will make it heavier and the difference you get is the weight of the gas.

Alfred is absolutely the most game-changing app I've ever been introduced to. I only use it for finding files, searching, opening a page by direct URL, defining words, calculator, translation (via Google), launching apps, and quickly jumping to apps that are already open. It's probably saved me hundreds of hours in clicking around, etc.

I've never purchased the paid version (been using since 2011), but I support them by searching Amazon (results are via affiliate link) when I buy things.
