Those are experiences. I'll update my website to be so awesome when I get some time for it (bit difficult while managing a team).

My own site, wanted to update it ever since. Not really an eye-catcher, I know. It uses Grav CMS, it's a great CMS (and file-based).

> they have no agency to change anything

If this is the case, than that's a sad state of affairs for the team. Instead the Team should have retrospectives to freely talk about, what processes/ceremonies work and add to the teams efficiency at getting things done and which do not or are even detrimental.

With each iteration of a retro the Team should slowly but surely progress towards a local optimum, where they shaped their work environment such that they can work best.

> due to the business people who are really in charge not wanting to change.

Stand-ups should be only for the team and SM. Sometimes a domain expert/PO can be added to the mix, if issues need clarification. But never should managers or stake holders bother the team during internal coordination of the work (as others said, standups are no status-report).
Is it just me that thinks this is absurdly verbose? Imagine adding a new field on this. Or having, like any other CRUD app, 25 other entities. What a nightmare.
I have found (and reported) at least two similar bugs in Mac OS X's calculator. It's not just a Microsoft thing :)

In both instances, Apple didn't respond to the bug report until many years later, when they just closed it.
Is there any reason to believe that a process that interrupts an entire team every day to make everyone listen to non-critical updates would be necessary?

Standups are (in my experience) usually a symptom of a low-trust environment, where there's an underlying belief that engineers will do less work or let things slip without the fear of being behind at the next standup. In some companies, this is actually true - so in some cases, standups are certainly effective - but I can't think of any argument for why they'd be necessary at all companies.

Our team is distributed and has been going ~eight months without standups or work hours, and I'm extremely happy with the quality and pace of our engineering. This requires a high-trust environment where every person is given large feature areas that they are able (and incentivized) to drive autonomously, but I think this ends up being better both for productivity and for quality-of-life.
Obviously to make money...

Towns with weird subsidizing schemes going on won't be able to take advantage unless they account for the new opportunity.

Even with 0.04%, we have around 25 power plants [0] operating just for Bitcoin. You say it's tiny just like Christmas light, I say it we could get rid of PoW and improve/chill on Christmas lights we could reduce demand on 30 or so power plants and maybe not build new ones immediately. (Yes, average are bad, we're in a back of the napkin territory)

It looks like this Life VM has a "RunWithGasLimit" function that can run WebAssembly for a limited number of steps. I'm not sure if it pauses or aborts the VM when the limit is reached.

On a related note: you can enforce a CPU limit on WebAssembly in any engine by using wasm-metering[0]. Note that if the WebAssembly hits the limit, it is entirely aborted, not paused. So wasm-metering is good for limiting the CPU usage of a WebAssembly binary that has short functions called regularly, but not capable of time-slicing a long-running WebAssembly function. I think you'll need custom support from a WebAssembly VM (or a much more extensive preprocessor) for that.

I am upvoting because that is totally pathological example of how it should not be. If I end up in place like this I just quit as soon as possible. Maybe they heard something about "Responding to change instead of following plan" and implemented it...
Here's my experience. I don't recommend doing any p2p stuff like this. not really worth it

For fun, I tossed $1,000 into prosper in 4/2015.

I set it to auto invest each time I hit $50 in available funds from someone paying their loan back. I also only set it to auto invest at the B (estimated return of 6.8%) and C (est return of 7.8%) levels. The levels change a bit, but it factors in the estimated loss for each level too.

Currently, my portfolio is about $1,300 with a little bit extra in available funds.

Ive only logged in to get some tax documents after the initial $1k investment and setting up auto invest.

Not much for experience, but here ya go

Replace that with asking for help in slack or whatever, and you don't need a standup. And you also get help as soon as people's time is available, not the next day.
If I remember correctly, the mechanism underlying the glutamate toxicity is mutant SOD, which is made as a response to oxidative stress. The glutamate is simply an excitory stimulus that makes free radicals which need to be mopped up by something. Could be that other proteinopathies are a similar reaction to oxidative stress, and something that promotes GABA, such as alcohol, has a beneficial effect. But of course I’m only speculating.
> The blame ultimately rests with them,

This sort of rhetoric, specifically has hurt democratic culture. If something you dislike happens, it's because you didn't do ENOUGH instead of the intended realization that everything is impermanent and open to revision.
One of the issues I found with the first company I worked at was because there was little turnover there wasn't a lot of horizontal knowledge transfer that you get at more dynamic companies. Meant their processes, technologies, etc were stale and getting more stale as time went on. Which is why I left.

Best thing that happened to them was they let one of my utterly burned out coworker go, followed by exit of myself and another more sr engineer. Which forced them to hire three outsiders within a short span.
Hey deedubya - Tape provides a similar tool with a deep Slack integration (https://agile.trytape.com/). Beyond Stand Up, Tape is great for other elements of Agile as well as improving team chemistry for remote organizations. I'd love to hear your feedback (dave [at] trytape.com)
Linear thinking cannot bridge the gap in the complex, nonlinear world we live in.

There is a time for unions and there is a time for leaving a broken system. The ocean is bigger than textile mills in the Carolinas and there are more factors involved. Expand your perspectives and it won't seem discordant.

Would you say a broken arm is a symptom of lung cancer?

There is always an area that is growing while another is declining, not in a zero-sum manner but in a progressive way that increases quality of life across the board.

There is a trend in motion toward the marginal cost of production approaching zero, making physical things effectively worthless compared to the creative effort involved.

Humanity is fallible, and those who study history are doomed to watch those who have not repeat it.
That’s an interesting idea, could the onset of dementia make someone less sociable and hence drink less.
Some languages, like Arabic, have "roots" which are used to form words. These roots usually have an abstract or ambiguous meaning. You can take those roots and turn them into words, which have a defined meaning, by using a form, kind of like a template. So one root for example is BDL. The kind of vague meaning is to exchange or replace something. One template you can use is TaXXeeX, with the root letters going in place of the Xs. So this results in the word "tabdeel", which means "an exchange".

So what the NN does is takes as input a word, and tries to find its root. "Tabdeel" was the first input listed, and the output was "BDL".

Some more information on this:

I think all of the complaints with your idea that center around "exam time" being too late would be addressed by sensible quiz policies. i.e. classes should have quizzes frequently, which individually aren't a huge component of the grade, but also which repeatedly cover past material so students can get the benefits of spaced-repetition. The notes correlating phone use can be given on the quizzes.

The only issue I have with your idea in spirit is that it does nothing for the other innocent students who get distracted by the people goofing off on their phones, but this might just be addressed by cracking down on distracting use but if people want to quietly text or browse the web under the desk for the whole period that's their business / responsibility come quiz/exam time.
Well there is a time element of how long one deals with the unknowns, but this is Walmart. A fortune 500 (100? 50?) company has the resources to skip most of the bootstrapping shortcuts and make a serious go at it to do a good eval.
User-facing software is about politics the same way architecture (like for buildings) is political: sure there is a lot that software and buildings can do to make people do one thing instead of another, but they don't change the fundamental things that drive us.

If I'm checking my phone briefly in a lecture or something, it's no big deal.

Buy a secondhand Mac Mini for a couple hundred, and deal with the slower compile time? And then maybe sell the hardware if you don’t intend to ever have to recompile.

"If you own a name in the existing root zone or the Alexa top 100k, your name is waiting for you on the blockchain. You are able to claim it by publishing a DNSSEC ownership proof – a cryptographic proof that you own the name on ICANN’s system. Your name must have a valid DNSSEC setup in order for the claim to be created. If you do not have DNSSEC set up, don’t worry – you can set it up after the handshake blockchain launches and proofs will still be accepted retroactively."

https://handshake-org.github.io/guides/claims.html
This is really cool! Rather than make the same mistake every other DNS tries, they include the ICANN domains already. I ran the client and started resolving hostnames against it immediately.

Its also mined, so give it a try!

Agreed, minimalism and age/maturity do not correlate in any meaningful way. It's much too circumstantial. In some cases, running a time-tested Java app might be much easier than spinning up a modern JS equivalent. In other cases, maybe the legacy options don't provide the functionality you need.

Not to mention contradicting ideas:

Hi JP, I love the website. Great job.

I'd start collecting email addresses at the bottom of blog articles to reengage with the visitors in the future. You can do it unobtrusively and actually it also helps users. For example, I would like to get an email update when you publish a new content but couldn't find any way for it.

Good luck!

Who cares? It looks all flat and fashionable which is what you really care about.
WebAssembly has no native filesystem APIs or any built-in APIs to the outside world. A WebAssembly binary may specify that it wants to import functions by certain names, and it's up to the user of the WebAssembly to implement and provide the functions that the WebAssembly wants to import. You could make a WebAssembly binary that imports a "readFile" function, and then you could load the WebAssembly in Go with this Life VM (or in Javascript with the native WebAssembly APIs) and specify your implementation of the "readFile" function in the host environment. Your implementation of "readFile" can then impose whatever restrictions it wants.

> Rc/RefCell/Box are verbose because they deal with shared ownership, and Rust forces you to solve problems around shared ownership that other languages don't.

Would there be a space for a mode inside Rust, call it a DSL if you will, where Rust behaves like those other languages? I mean that in this mode it would use the heap by default and copying to not alert the borrow-checker?
> Standups are (in my experience) usually a symptom of a low-trust environment

and or a high volatility process and or poor information flow. All of these things occur at different times throughout any company. Standups mitigate these issues and are not supposed to be these hour marathons that I see everywhere.
In orgs I've been in the daily standup was clearly intended to help people get a heads up on who can help them with blockers or may be working on a similar part of the codebase that day. It also helps PMs know what kind of support they'll need to give their dev team that day since they often get pulled into meetings by other parts of the company.

As far as timeboxing, the PM is timeboxed by having stuff in good enough state of definition that their devs feel they can work on them. So if you don't have your specs there by the time sprint planning happens, your projects don't get done and you risk your job. Of course, we have an issue if the PM is writing shitty specs and not around to help answer edge case questions.

>Amazon historically (and still kinda does) have a problem with getting perishables logistically to last-mile delivery points, whereas Walmart and Sam's Club have already figured this out and done it for a very long time.

I don't think getting groceries to store shelves counts as "last mile." The entire problem with last mile is that instead of delivering a truckload singular location, one is many delivering tiny shipments to scattered, irregular locations, which is substantially more time, labor, and fuel expensive, not to mention logistically more difficult.
that was fascinating
No, there was no "X" prize that was adopted by the Nobel Foundation. They were offered a donation to fund the prize in the area of Economics, and they did. The prize itself has always been run by the Nobel Foundation.

It may not have been one of the original Nobel Prizes, but everyone who matters, including the prize-issuing organization itself, considers it to be one of the current Nobel Prizes. This is no different from, say, the Olympics--would you not consider snowboarding, boxing, weightlifting, wrestling, or volleyball (to name some of the most popular current events) to be Olympic events simply because they were not part of the first games in 1896? Conversely, should croquet and tug-of-war be considered Olympic sports even though they haven't been part of the games for over a century?

That is how I view it:
- "big A" Agile has books and approved tools and coaches from outside the company holding week-long all-day workshops.
- "little a" agile has devs/QA/etc. suggesting ways to make the process of building and shipping software smoother.

I'm currently working on a "little a" agile team. Upper management doesn't really care what our process is, as long as they get their quarterly release with (most) of their priorities.
I disagree.

When both the operator and the operand are people, the operation is political by definition.

We could maybe argue about degrees, but I think the premise is beyond doubt.
APL as in... the programming language? Or something else? I'm not sure what you're referring to.
I really didn't want to make another async chat/text-based bot. I wanted to bring a bit of the on-site feeling / face-time human contact to teams that are remote, specially those that are very distant, with a big timezone difference. Working remotely is amazing, but it also has some problems, and I just wanted to help solving the issue of loss of real human touch, (people's expressions/smiles, etc), so that teams get daily face-time regardless of location.

No, my point is that different decisions in how I park can make a bigger impact on my bottom line than whether I fly Southwest or American First Class. I take a real travel vacation maybe once every 3-4 years.
Totally, that was poor wording on my part. Instead of "last-mile delivery points" I should have said "warehouses (or stores) where last-mile delivery shipments originate". By purchasing Whole Foods, they solved a large portion of this, but the number of Whole Foods stores still is tiny in comparison to Walmart/Sam's Club (I think, I couldn't find numbers sadly)
I think the "retire old technology" is more in the context of recognizing when something you are thinking about adding could replace something you already have.

If you think last-mile logistics is interesting, come check out Picnic in the Netherlands. We're an online-only supermarket. We do milkman style deliveries, where we have a few fixed times per day that the customer can choose to have their delivery (20 minute window), allowing us to make the routing efficient and fast, enough that we can do free deliveries. This overall seems to be working better than Walmart's approach.

We've got a pretty solid tech team, and always looking for more people to join.

It looks like the dev team has already anticipated a SHA3 based ASIC design as a threat to monopolize control over the Handshake protocol.

Guessing an insider on is hoping to exploit this for financial gain and control of this isolated DNS pool.

and why would users want to participate in a protocol which inherently relinquishes centralized accountability and responsibility, in favor of a security model that allows any of these mining warehouse operations run by anonymous robber barrons with enough excess capital to fill up an entire building with random number generating electricity wasting heaters?

Who thinks this is seriously a good idea for anything other then exploiting greater fools to sell digital beanie babies to?
