I don't read it like that.

From my point of view it's like saying if you sell virtualization as a way to isolate different OSes + applications for security reasons (compared to cost savings and all associated from using this kind of technology), clearly you better think twice about that.

And really, it's pretty much always a selling point when you talk to a marketing rep or your PHB or her/his PHBs.
Yeah...really, how COULDN'T that happen?
A few months ago I purchased used Steelcase Leap v2[0] and am happy with it. It offers lots of customization and my back never hurts me after a long day. I wouldn't be happy if I had to pay the full price (~$1000?) as I tried some other chairs in the past such as Spinalis[1] and my mind was blown away.

I don't know exactly the reason I felt so good on Spinalis as it was several years ago. But I do know it was "different" than any other chair I tried (haven't tried many).

Hope it helps.

You have modules, use, extern, cargo.toml, cargo.lock. It looks quite verbose and redundant to me. I expected it to simplify but moving more to config files seems a backwards step. I may be biases but I find the Go import/packing vastly superior in terms of usuability(i.e using a single import statement you make the import explicit and ready to use). I think the trick is to build the tools on top of the source code not on top of config files(i.e ala C/C++).
Apparently the real takeaway from the checklist research was that other people, usually lower status employees like nurses knew that the doctor was about to amputate the wrong leg or whatever, but the dysfunctional working relationships made it very hard for them to point out idiotic mistakes being made by the big shots without endangering their careers.

The checklist is only there as a public contract that "if I don't do X, then anyone who points that out is doing the right thing".

This is both more frightening, and more insightful, than the "people forget to do stuff" lesson (though that is true too).

The organization of these status reports is outstanding and so structured, like the rest of FreeBSD's documentation and communication.

I wish more of the HardenedBSD features would land in FreeBSD trunk. Other than that, I'm really glad to see that it's making great progress, like RISC-V support. The address randomization feature in 11 is ASR (not ASLR), per the review comments by the inventor of ASLR (PaX dev), so it's a pity the initial HardenedBSD devs decided to not continue upstreaming things after they felt the ASLR patch review was taking too long. OPNsense seems to be basing itself on HardenedBSD, so that's nice to see.

Most people who steal stuff aren't that bothered about stealing your stuff, just someone's stuff. If you have better security that inconveniences a thief more than others, the thief will just go next door. If everyone raises the bar a little, determined thieves may continue but some number of casual thieves will find something else to do instead.

A bump key could open the majority of locks and yet we still put such locks into new doors? These flawed locks just serve the purpose of forcing whomever wants to enter to cross a psychological boundary from legal into illegal. And that is still a good reason to use flawed locks.

In other words, you might as well not use locks at all.

Re: Why Uber Engineering Switched from Postgres to MySQL
And my critical remarks:

While "the word embeddings are sexist" sounds cool (as a topic, not - phenomenon), it's at best a misunderstanding of the word2vec scope. For any topic that is correlated with gender (e.g. gender ratios for doctors and nurses is different), the non-zero projection on the "man"-"woman" is expected, and desired.

What is problematic is the over-interpretation of word2vec (and any other "meaning by counting" techniques). Some of it's usage can be X-ist, e.g. the infamous "black people stole my car" in a Google search suggestions. But while people can be sexist (knowingly or not, with premeditation or accidently), "reality" cannot be "biased".

And well "Sexism can be thought of as a kind of warping of this vector space." is a bad metaphor. In linear spaces, it's a linear transformation (shearing), suggesting a non-linear transformation.

_Snow Crash_ is good fun, and I really liked the speculative elements. It led me down the path of becoming a Stephenson junky which, coming from someone that tries to avoid reading many big novels by a single author, breaks a bit with my own principles. _Cryptonomicon_ need hardly be mentioned anymore, considering it's repute, but lately I've been reading the "prequel" trilogy consisting of _Quicksilver_, _The Confusion_ and _The System of the World_. It's set in the same literary universe, centering on events in the late 17th and early 18th century, basically tracing the early days of science. They also feature some quite humorous fictionalized versions of real life historical figures. At some point I'm probably going to look into _Anathem_ and _Seveneves_ as well. All that said, Stephenson has a rather particular style which seems to be very polarizing, but I definitely encourage giving him a shot.
I can tell it is lots of "fun" when you can only use a Maven mirror, with approved jars.

To get a jar into that mirror, a request needs to be sent to the legal team describing the license and business case use, after approval the IT team will add the said jar to the mirror.

The same applies to version upgrades of already approved jars.

This is a typical scenario I had already in a couple of projects.

> I'm always surprised how I seem to be the only person carrying an umbrella in London when it rains. Especially bankers seem to prefer getting soaked.

If you're a banker in London you're inundated with free umbrellas, as they're the gift de-facto on attending any kind of event. Nice, big, very big, very good quality, umbrellas (with said host company's logo).

You're also probably wearing a decent wool suit, and decent wool suits, Super-100s and above, not that expensive, and by design of nature, are completely shower-proof. Not rain-proof, but shower-proof. When getting to the destination, they just need a bash to bounce off any droplets that have stuck to the exterior (don't wipe, doing so will force the droplets into the fabric).

I understand what you mean. However, if you personally have to ask every individual every day 1) what they did, 2) what they will do next, 3) and what impediments they have, and you can't get them to do it without your having to ask (in my experience, they'd do it for a few days, slow down, and then stop again), the more efficient way seems to me is to automate it.

Of course, in my case, I didn't wake up on the first day and put this in place. I spent a few months trying to get people to send in their standups every day, but realised that I can't possibly do it everyday with an expanding team and it didn't make for the best use of my time. Because filling in your standup is a quick part (quick because it shouldn't take you longer than five to ten minutes to fill it up) of the process that needs to be followed, the most efficient alternative was to create a bot to remind those who can't remember to do. Plus, the number one reason I got from people who failed to do it was that they simply forgot.
Your Team in Four Dimensions
Telemetry.
I'm not a big fan of standups. I should be able to glance at the plan/burndown chart/backlog/whatever and know everything I need to know: Which tasks were finished lately? Which tasks are in progress? Who is working on which task? Which tasks are blocked? What is our goal for the next week/2 weeks? How close are we to meeting that goal?

If you don't have a tool or an easy to update document that shows this at a glance, then you have a problem. If you are asking people to give you all this information and then trying to collate it, then you have a problem. If people are not very simply causing this information to be visible as part of their normal workflow, then you have a problem.

Meetings are not the solution to any of these problems. What meeting are good for is: Human contact. People often find that if they don't interact directly with someone that the other person might have important information that isn't being shared. The longer the time between contact, the more that irrational feeling grows. Not everybody feels that way. I don't and it took me years before I realised that it is hugely important for other people.

The best thing I can say is that, if you don't have a short meeting where people can fist-bump, eventually someone on your team is likely to go crazy and cause huge problems. Usually that person is your manager, as it turns out.

My advice is to treat any substantive conversation in standup as being something to be fixed. You don't want that. You want people to show up, complain about how boring standup is and disappear. Every time you find important information showing up in standup, ask yourself how it could have been shared more easily as a normal part of the work flow. Keep working at it and eventually standup will be all fist-bump and no content.

How I got a business startup loan
I would like to bring this to the notice of the public about how i met Anz Jackson Financing PLC after i lost my job and being denied loan by my bank and other financial institution due to my credit score. I could not pay my children's fees. I was behind on bills, about to be thrown out of the house due to my inability to pay my rent, It was during this period my kids were taken from me by foster care. Then i set out to seek for funds online where i lost $3,670 that i borrowed from friends which i was rip off by two companies. Until i read about: anzjacksonfinancingplc@yahoo.com where i was granted a loan to pay up my debts and to start up a business. You can as well give them a call or text at: +18437769340. Why am i doing this? I am doing this to save as many that are in need of a loan not to be victim of scams on the internet.

I feel like the point of a stand-up isn't just to get people to say what they're doing, it's to get everyone else to listen. That's why it should be as tight as possible, to ensure people stay engaged.

If you replace the standup with written reports, I doubt anyone but the manager will actually read them. I know I wouldn't, regardless of how valuable it seems in the abstract.
I thought that post-mortem was especially good, that is why I shared it. It is interesting to read what can go wrong, and how it was detected.

They have been accused of releasing PII before, but they claim to be a journalistic organization. My take is, they're more concerned with delivering data dumps than sorting through terabytes to redact innocent details, because they're more of a dump site than a news site. And as such, it's raw information to consumers. I expect it to be pretty fully digested if I'm going to call it a news or analysis product.
