> I read the book. It was a sarcastic comment.

Your sarcasm was misplaced. You stated that "the problem is that Steve Jobs ignored Ehret’s concept of a “transition diet,” and became taken with the idea of being a fruit-only eater right away."

That was not the problem at all, as @stevehawk stated and my quote proves. You are pushing a pseudo-scientific book from 100 years ago and mentioned Jobs's name to enhance the recommendation's credibility. Jobs's belief in pseudoscience cost him his life.

> Everything spelled out in the GDPR is a great thing for users and should have been there from the very beginning - being able to erase all their data, see all their data, export their data, and get notified when data is accessed.

I hate this "empowering users" philosophy of the EU. It's reminiscent of "right to be forgotten" type regulation where EU believes users should be in control of "their" data, when it reality it isn't "theirs" to begin with. Once data is "public" you can't ever "erase" it because it's not "yours". I'm sorry, if you shoplift in my store (online or no), I'm keeping track of you no matter how much you demand that I erase "your" information.

That's not the only competition for water. In Texas somewhere between 10-50% (depends upon location) of fresh water is used for fracking, not to be used again for human consumption for generations, if ever. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/water-use-rises-a...

I think once the dust settles and it becomes clearer how the law is being handled, it is going to get easier.

My first job twelve years ago was at a company similar to yours in Switzerland. A small bootstrapped SaaS targeted at enterprise and government. Switzerland is quite serious about privacy with strict laws regarding them, but since they have been around for a long time, nobody freaked out about it. It is just part of the daily business for everyone.

I can't remember compliance with such constraints being a serious competitive disadvantage for the company. In fact after Snowden the label "Made in Switzerland" and images of datacenters in mountain bunkers became an advantage internationally.

Meditations actually was originally a Trello board. I built out a frontend that gave made it easier for me to see statistics and manipulate the individual cards (e.g. just click on one to cycle through labels). Eventually it became evident that it needed its own backend, so it's been through a couple large iterations since then.

I don't see it becoming a SAAS-type product, but I would like to make it easy to download and use at some point in the future. I like working on it, but I can only really get into major things when I have time between client projects.

Scooters are an urban mobility solution, one that if successful will reduce the need to utilize last mile public transportation. This potentially means transit routes will be shut down. If you want to make it easy for everyone to navigate a city, you need to make sure that they have access to meaningful transportation options.

As for automobiles I understand there are practical reasons why subsidizing them isn't cost effective, but for a while in the 20th century automobile dependency was used to make sure the poor masses couldn't make it out to the suburbs -- places rich in jobs, education and investment opportunities that entire generations missed out on.

The source code for TeX, and for METAFONT are thought well of. Here's what Guy L. Steele has to say about them [1]:

"... what I really recommend to you are TeX: The Program and METAFONT: The Program, because these are simply the best-written, best-documented, best-debugged programs of their size ever published. They reward careful study."

I have to admit that I have not read all of them myself, but I have read parts of them, and think those parts are good.

I've developed a strong loyalty to Motorola because of this. I've owned several Verizon exclusive models (Droid Turbo, Turbo 2, Z Play Droid) and all have featured incredible real world battery life and stockish Android. I'd kill to have received another one for work even though they are decidedly "mid range" in terms of features and specs. Instead, I've been saddled with a Galaxy S7 which is a complete turd despite its supposed status as a "flagship".

I was just imagining it would be neat to find 3D areas: go upstairs, down a hall, downstairs, and have it compute the volume of the 3D area.

The barometers available on devices would allow this to happen, but I don't know (don't think) that when you request location access via the browser it returns altitude information if the device supports it.
I’ve seen waterfall work at a VERY high level where entire projects were the tasks.

Within those projects, waterfall was completely removed from the numerous tasks needed to get the project done so the developers never saw it.

Getting waterfall involved at the project level tasks day today has a lot of issues though. It can run a lot smoother if your team has a low expectation of pivoting due to new projects or production support needs.

It’s not without possibilities, but a lot depends on how far removed it is from day to day.

Well, they can't. It's not their choice to make anymore: users in the EU can no longer sign their online privacy away. If that is not something a company can live with, they should be looking for darker pastures elsewhere.

But I think it misses the mark a bit on pairing. Having somebody shoulder-surf once in a while is not a bad idea, but it's definitely not pairing. Even if you're only doing it a little, I think it's worth setting up for true pairing, so that both people can easily jump in and work on the code as they're working together. Even as little as adding a second keyboard and mouse can make a big difference. People are just more engaged if they're participating.

Do you find your team enforcing the string quote rule consistently? It seems to me like it's easy to miss at times as automatic enforcement is impossible. Are there no cases where a string that wasn't originally planned to be user-visible ends up being so? I've heard this idea at times but when I looked at actual codebases it turns out it's more of an aspiration than an actual rule. And if you can't depend on it, why have it?

As for number of lines after imports, how is a lack of enforcement there stopping you from using the tool? Black enforces one line but is fine if you put two (on module level). In general, if you give up on the tool due to a missing rule, you end up having to manually enforce tens of other rules that you'd otherwise be free from.

Yes, I have used it to mount document servers as remote drives via WebDAV, and then use standard Unix one-liners to do queries and updates. Much more convenient than working with custom APIs.

I also once integrated an open-source WebDAV server into my own code, in order to expose parts of an SQL database as a remotely mountable filesystem. This would have taken much more effort without the existing WebDAV infrastructure.
Living very frugally, and driving an old car, wouldn't bother me but living in a Soviet-style flat would seriously depress me. Maybe it's having an effect on your own psychology? Human beings are by nature outdoor animals and living in a huge block apartment is about as far from the natural outdoors as you can get.

You could try renting a proper home on Airbnb for a month and see how you feel after a few weeks of having a nicer environment.

This is the main reason most Americans want to own a home with a backyard. It allows you to relax and BBQ in the "outdoors" any time you want. Sitting around a fire pit is soothing in a primal way. I think most people find that it improves their psychology immensely.
The question is - the sites that serve massive amount of content (images, videos, etc) - will they be able to cover their costs in the EU without making their apps paid? What about currently free games which rely on personalized ads?
Yeah, I love it when customers can work like that. The way I often explain it is that a product manager can buy software, but they can also buy information. Information like, "Is X possible?" or "What would it cost to build Y?" or "What would the performance be if we switched to Z?".

Once they catch on to that, it can be great.

Fluidics was a technology that was invented at the wrong time. It was invented in the 1960s just as transistorized computers were becoming common. One can only speculate on what the world would be like if fluidics was discovered say in the 1800s. It could potentially be mass produced with technology of the time. Right off the bat one might be able to attain switching speeds similar to relay computers for complicated circuits, audio-frequency operation for simple circuits, and analog computation at decent speeds. So we can get things like adding machines, somewhat automated factories, autopilots, sound amplifiers, gunnery computers, and what not. Of course, this alternate history is unlikely, because some of the knowledge necessary to develop fluidics came out of understanding airplane flight. The coanda effect, wherein a jet of fluid tends to stay near walls which is useful for making bistable flip flops, was discovered accidentally when testing a new airplane design[0]

Even though fluidics came out at the wrong time it did find some niche applications in aerospace and factory process control because fluidics was more reliable than similar electrical and electromechanical systems for a bit. Fluidics not having any moving parts is fairly robust and is tolerant of high temperatures, high shocks, high radiation, high magnetic fields, and more. The concorde actually used fluidic components in one of it's nozzle control systems at one point[1].

Because of fluidics inherent EMP resistance and acceleration resistance, fluidics has been considered shockingly recently for use in anti-ballistic missile guidance systems[2].

Fluidics still enjoys some niche applications today. Some HVAC and industrial control systems supposedly use fluidics. One interesting current day application of fluidics is kosher sound amplification[3]. Orthodox Judaism prohibits electronic sound amplification on the sabbath because it constitutes work. Using a speaker to produce sound constitutes labor because it creates a sound that did not exist before from electricity. Fluidics is able to get around this prohibition and can amplify sound in the range of human speech.

Your best bet would be a SBC with i.MX8M - the same SoC that will be in Librem 5. That's because it's one of the best supported SoCs by mainline Linux kernel.

With Etnaviv drivers for GPU you can be pretty much covered. And I think it will get better.

I'm hoping that someone will make a netbook with i.MX8M. Or maybe even Chromebook - it would be then easily repurposeable.

But you were talking about the mechanism of consciousness, not verifying whether someone is conscious or not.

It may be impossible to verify if someone is conscious in the same way that I know I am, but we can associate a set of behaviors with an intelligent creature. If we empirically prove that those behaviors emerge from a collection of neural impulses, then it takes a simple assumption (almost a cognitive axiom) that the creature exhibiting those behaviors is conscious, to conclude that emergentism has been empirically verified.

I feel like your position that emergentism is empirically impossible to verify is itself a strong position, and attempts to define a boundary on science when your stated goal is to place doubts on where the boundaries are. Yes it requires a few assumptions, and yes those assumptions are impossible to verify empirically. But then so are the mathematical axioms. We don't go around saying "physics is impossible to empirically verify because mathematical axioms are impossible to prove and are incomplete"

"Do you think that accidents didn't happen to kids subsistence farming with their families or starving to death in central Europe?"

I take it this was a general rhetorical question and not something you're specifically asking me - but either way, it's irrelevant. The fact is that 'we' (wherever I say 'we' here, I mean 'we as a society') didn't care enough about those children dying in the field or mud huts, but we did care when they started dying in factories (while that may not be 'rational' for a Less Wrong definition of 'rational', experiments on the trolley problem have shown in the past that there might be wide spread ethical intuitions that make this situation 'understandable' - but I digress).

I wasn't stating how things 'ought to be', just 'how things are'. 'How they ought to be' is in this case a trite discussion (at the level and within the means we have here). The OP however asked a facetious or naive question about 'how things are', one for which there is a simple, factual answer.
It sounds like you had a bad manager, but no methodology can fix that.

My entire experience has been: good management + talented developers = success, and bad management or untalented developers and it fails, but it really has nothing to do with the methodology in play. I've seen (and been part of) hard core agile teams burning to the ground, and teams with no methodology be wildly successful. (And vice versa)

Agile bothers me because it generally aims to commoditize developers, and yet the best places and teams I've worked on always were they opposite: it was about finding the best way for each individual to work, and designing processes around the rhythms around whatever industry they were working in, rather than assuming everything should fit into 2 week sprints.
I see. This is indeed harder. I don't think there is any web API for accessing these sensors.

Moreover, measuring the volume would require tracing out a much more complicated path since volumes are bounded by surfaces rather than edges. Given that the technical problems were solved, do you think that a human actually could manage to trace out a volume in an other cases than simple rectangular blocks etc?
I doubt anyone here cares if you don't trust them and choose not to use their service. But that's not enough for you :)
