sorry but I wouldn't hire you with a basic skill when I could get younger people that have the same skill and will probably learn faster.

if you are advanced in your skill set, than I will hire you probably depends on how you act, but just saying "I can learn any technology." is pretty naive. maybe you briefly scratched an egg of the technology but you are so far behind the others that we could get pretty reasonable other people.

You should really focus on stuff that you are doing else you will never master anything and be a junior all the time.

The (expected) return of CSS privacy leaks
We once had a long power outage (3.5 hrs ish), the data center remained on the entire time, but after about 60 minutes the data center lost internet access(!) because their ISP only had a battery backup with a limited capacity. So it does happen.

Plus sometimes backup power isn't reliable (e.g. generator problem) or they have different tiers of coverage (and Delta didn't pay for it). We'll just have to wait and see.

The author mentions this, but I'd like to insist on it a bit more:

Scrum is a system of managing people, not a software development methodology.

It's about transforming programmers into cogs and gently forcing them to obey certain rituals every day, until they slowly give up their individual creativity and initiative and become good 'team players' .

And when someone says 'team player', I hear 'you belong to us now'.

I disliked scrum since the moment it was decreed upon our team.

And that's because pretty soon our team became obsessed with points and respecting the religion rather than doing the actual work.

The final drop came when I refactored some code, made it twice as fast using half as much memory (the proverbial 'much better'), only to have to fight the team to accept the changes, because that wasn't in the backlog.

Methodology is only good when it helps you achieve your goals easier and faster, safer, etc.

But when the methodology becomes the goal, then your job changes into satisfying the methodology, rather then being the best at what you like and enjoy.

And this is the exact status quo that larger organisations love - people focused on small irrelevant tasks, while the 'grand scheme' is determined by management.

Not for me. I use certain parts of it in my work today (develop in sprints, demo at the end of sprint, planning, backlog and current tasks), but if I see "we use scrum" in the job description, then I'm not your man.

The straight line from Falmouth to Boston is only straight on a 2d map, because of particular transformation from 3d surface to 2d plane. Nothing to do with reference frame.

You indeed can change a curve into a straight line by manipulating the frame of reference, but it would need to be very contrived - basically you follow the object movement and add constant translation and some linear movement on top of that (one example - camera is in on a kite tied to the ship, and the rope is progressively loosened).

I think thats why he charges per month. Its pretty easy to go through an entire seasons worth of videos in under a month. I found $29 for a seasons worth of videos to be worth it. He used to charge per season with no subscription, and before that it was subscription based.

I'm more curious about how frequently he's going to be releasing videos. If its less than 2-3 a week, I'd probably just opt to wait until the season is over.
The rental market has begun heating up lately (stories of rental auctions, renovictions, evictions for airBnB, etc) so although they may be comparatively reasonable, they may not stay absolutely reasonable for long.
> First of all, what are story points? Are they measures of time it takes to complete a story? If yes, then why are they not in terms of time? Are they measures of complexity?

Story points are a measure of "relative amounts of effort". A 2 point story is twice as hard, as far as effort to implement it than a 1 point one.

> Scrum meetings (aka rituals) have been among the most miserable hours of my life...

Would you rather have many meetings almost every day, or a single big ol' meeting every few weeks so you can focus on coding without interruptions?

> The review meeting causes utterly unnecessary anxiety (Oh my god, will my feature work?)

It should not cause anxiety because it MUST work. The review meeting is to show stakeholders a "potentially shippable product increment". Everything you show on the review meeting should have been extensively tested already.

> Why estimate stories that you are going to break down anyway?

You only break down stories if they are too big. You are not supposed to work every detail on a planning meeting.

> but in Scrum, the retro is explicitly supposed to be about the Scrum process itself, not about the codebase

The retro is not about the scrum process but about how it is working for the team. All these issues you have already complained about should be reserved for this meeting where the whole team can decide which adjustments to make.

> The main goal of Scrum is to minimize risk and make sure the developers do not deviate from the plan. I will come back to "Scrum controlmania" later.

It is regretful that, like all the other "why scrum sucks" posts I've seen on HN, it all boils down to a bad scrummaster not managing expectations and taking the time to explain where the process really comes from.
> In the system you describe if I have "FooBar1" and "BazQuz7" as both being acceptable, I can hop between them endlessly.

Just about all backends test the previous N passwords, so no, you couldn't.

What the system I describe does not prevent is switching between "FooBarX" and "BazQuxY" where X and Y are changing numbers or characters every time you switch back to them. To prevent that you would need a custom backend, sure.

FastMail is great and their web interface is really light and fast, but the pricing[0] doesn't fit me. I want to use my custom domain as an email address, so I have to choose the `Enhanced` plan ($40 USD per 1 year).

I hope they would make a new middle-class plan between `Full` and `Enhanced` with Cal/Card DAV features.

Perhaps social networking has changed how we define "friend", and some are adopting the new definition faster than others?

I have many connections, but very few real friends. I'm totally fulfilled by that though, and can't imagine having enough time (or the desire) to nurture more friendships. But when everyone has 500+ "friends" on Facebook, does 5 no longer seem like a large enough number to tell a researcher?

I also don't have any social networking accounts (besides LinkedIn), neither do my "real" friends. This could be because our anti-social(-network) temperaments are a part of what draws us together, but it could also mean that social(-network) butterflies are spreading themselves too thin to keep up with their expanded group of acquaintances.

Eh, anecdata, take it for what it is.

China also has a very limited air force and barely significant blue water naval capabilities. They are especially lacking in the kind of heavy lifting and transport necessary to make force projection even possible. Due to the size and power of their army and their nuclear capabilities it's safe to say that China is effectively immune to attack (even from the US), but they have a nearly non-existent ability to project force outside of their immediate sphere of influence.

The US, on the other hand, has carrier groups that each have as much military power as many moderately sized nations. And we have ten of them stationed all over the world pretty much all the time. The difference is orders of magnitude.

Re: daily standups. A lot of what the OP criticizes standups for is what I like about them. The content is only half of it. In my experience, it can be very easy for a team to cease feeling like one and instead become a loosely-coupled collection of independent contractors. 15-20 minutes a day of forced synchronous communication goes a long way to making you feel like you're actually on a team and therefore act like it, and is well worth the minimal time. This is especially true if the team isn't all in the same physical space. It can be disruptive, so scheduling it at the right time is important.

Of course, if you already have meeting overload, standup is going to feel like the worst.

Related SuperUser question (from 2009) including demo and workaround:

http://superuser.com/questions/61833/windows-7-taskbar-icon-...
To me, the composition of a community is probably not a technical issue and is more likely to be a social issue. In a way, this question sort of highlights the social versus technical gap.

The identified problem is lack of new outside contributors. The proposed solution:

1. mandates more work by existing contributors.
2. does not directly recruit outside contributors.
3. is structured to require a cultural shift of
the existing community.
4. is a hypothetical without support from reasonable
evidence.

To put it another way, what I see from across the internet is a community that makes changes by argument rather than consensus, and reaches out to the world of potential contributors for support to win the argument. It doesn't seem to be so much about writing good documentation or determining what documentation is actually necessary for the purpose. It's more rallying the troops.

Curious about what the project is and why someone might want to contribute.

Good luck.
One thing UBI can not avoid is people making bad decisions. Specially lower income people.

If we eliminate all public and often free social services and hand over the money instead, I doubt a lot of people will save for retirement or pay for education. Any long term investment is counter intuitive and if it's on people they will likely avoid it.

A good example of this is 401k contributions. When employers have default contributions people do it. Of its opt-in most people don't do it. There was a study for the iirc

Good policy isn't made by rewarding only those who voted for you and by making that your overriding concern.
that's only semi true, and probably true if you hadn't checked DO given IP address whether it was previously blacklisted in which case you need to create new server with hopefully pure IP.

In case of my own DO mailserver, Yahoo will put you into deferred state for a while eventually will see other emails are not similar enough and give you a chance to go into main mailbox. Unless you have nasty friends who mark each of your email as spam, Outlook Gmail and Yahoo will let it thru to their main mailbox. Also most of my friends are checking spam folder once a week or so, and then its enough for Yahoo to get you to reply to that email once, to consider it being 2-way conversation and all my future emails go to their main inbox without any issues, helping my IP get better reputation.

TLDR: most stories of personal mailserver being bad idea because big guys will put you in spam are grossly overstated, unless you plan to use your server to send large amount of emails that contain marketing stuff.
Exactly true. I hate to say "that's why all of these articles are dumb", but really - is adapting something to your people that hard or unexpected?
Getting started with ScalaTest – An introduction to FlatSpec by example
It's not too small to matter. For the worst case scenario of a mother of 3+ who's working several part time jobs, it pays on average around $7K. In most of the country that is rent for a year. And since someone getting an EIC is likely in government housing as they'll qualify for it, it could then be groceries for a year. Only as they qualify for EIC, they are likely on SNAP, and this money is somewhat freed up for things besides food and housing.

So for many it is too small to matter either because they don't have dependents, don't work enough, or work too much. But it's actually a near damned perfect incentive to keep people working and trying to find better jobs while keeping them out of abject poverty. Likely the best anti-poverty tool the US government has blindly stumbled upon ever.

Can you elaborate on this a little bit? I have never read the book mainly because I remember one time in high school, I saw the guy sitting next to me in math class flipping through it.

We had just started the class and we were still trying to figure each other out and befriend each other at the time.

I sort of lost respect for him after seeing him flipping through the book. The title always suggested to me that it was filled with manipulative tactics to get people to do what you want.

I think that's easier said than done. AFAIK Microsoft gets the real bucks from big business using their stuff. It would have been a very steep hill for Google to climb to compete with Microsoft in the office software market, doesn't matter that they had the web product sooner. You can see the same in reverse with the Windows mobile OS trying to compete with iOS and Android - which they seem to have given up on.

In addition, the difficulties of monetizing websites and software that seem to be doing great when offered for free IMHO shows how much stuff we don't actually need and only like to play with.
100 domains / 500 aliases is just a limit to prevent abuse in my opinion. What the step from full to enhanced earns you is 15 times the storage, the ability to use your own domain(s), and full mobile sync, at twice the price. It seems rather fair to me (I'm on enhanced, ~3GB of email, 1 custom domain, mobile sync).
Yes, that's the system that the BBC wants to replace teletext with. As far as I know, it has not been implemented in any other country. I haven't seen much of it, but my impression is that it doesn't offer enough additional functionality over teletext, so other countries just stuck with that; for new functionality, it has basically been overtaken by the internet.

> Surely the RAX register in an X86_64 CPU is always the same physical location no?

No, it is not.

Modern CPUs all use Physical Register Files or PRFs for implementing OoO. The way they work is that there is one backing register file of ~150-200 registers, and a naming table in the frontend. Each register file in the backing table can be in one of 3 states -- waiting for data, contains data, or clean. Every time an instruction that writes data to a register is executed, during the register rename stage the renamer picks one register from the clean set, assigns that as the output of the uop and the current value of the logical register, and sets it as waiting for data.

That is, let's say you execute:

add RAX, RAX

and the current value of RAX in the rename table was PRF#1, with PRF#1 carrying data and all other physical registers clean. In the renamer, this would then turn into:

add PRF#2, PRF#1, PRF#1

if this instruction was immediately followed by another add, RAX, RAX, it would then turn into:

add, PRF#3, PRF#2, PRF2, and after renaming that instruction RAX points to PRF#3.

and so on. In PRF machines, architectural registers only exist as pointers into the PRF.

The reason for this design is that it makes OoO execution simple, and reduces unnecessary data movement. An instruction is ready to execute once all it's inputs have data in the PRF, and when it executes there is no need to move data into some special architectural register.

Registers are reaped from the "haves data" set into the clean set once no instruction or architectural register points at them. Note that multiple architectural registers can point to the same physical register: mov rax, rbx is resolved in the frontend just by pointing rax to the same register as rbx, and there is typically a special register for the value 0 that all common register-clearing operations use.
