I meant no offense. But you’re also dabbling in building your own k8s distro / platform, you have your own CI/CD , Jira storyboard , and data science stuff, etc.

My point is that you’re aiming a lot broader than Github ever did - you are competing more as a suite than as a focused product.

And I’ve seen personally this impact the support side with customers, partnership side, etc. I help maintain a medium-large Gitlab for one of your bigger customers. Anyway this isn’t the place for me to get specific, I am just saying that you are taking a risky path in terms of sustainability IMO as a rando on the internet.
That isn't really an argument though. There are shitty films in every genre.
"still workin' on those bugs" is really pretty useless. I'm not suggesting you're not a disciplined person but at some point, debugging something for days on end is a sign you may need some help, a fresh set of eyes, or come up for air and re-group. Same goes for feature development. If a single user story representing a whole feature (or part of a larger one) goes on and on and on, that's either a sign you perhaps rabbit-holed it too deeply, need some help from another team member, or need to raise a flag and split the story into another piece, possibly even one someone else can rally around to help close it.

Or the executive tells them I am the Big Boss and this will definitely work.
PocketCHIP is a great deal more, since it also includes the screen, no?
I particularly love this section:

> Since it is very difficult even for experts to evaluate search engines, search engine bias is particularly insidious. A good example was OpenText, which was reported to be selling companies the right to be listed at the top of the search results for particular queries [Marchiori 97]. This type of bias is much more insidious than advertising, because it is not clear who "deserves" to be there, and who is willing to pay money to be listed. This business model resulted in an uproar, and OpenText has ceased to be a viable search engine.

> But less blatant bias are likely to be tolerated by the market. For example, a search engine could add a small factor to search results from "friendly" companies, and subtract a factor from results from competitors. This type of bias is very difficult to detect but could still have a significant effect on the market. Furthermore, advertising income often provides an incentive to provide poor quality search results. For example, we noticed a major search engine would not return a large airline's homepage when the airline's name was given as a query. It so happened that the airline had placed an expensive ad, linked to the query that was its name. A better search engine would not have required this ad, and possibly resulted in the loss of the revenue from the airline to the search engine.

> In general, it could be argued from the consumer point of view that the better the search engine is, the fewer advertisements will be needed for the consumer to find what they want. This of course erodes the advertising supported business model of the existing search engines. However, there will always be money from advertisers who want a customer to switch products, or have something that is genuinely new. But we believe the issue of advertising causes enough mixed incentives that it is crucial to have a competitive search engine that is transparent and in the academic realm.

> The most convincing argument against the commodification of sex is, in my opinion, that such intimacy holds a special enough place in human psychology that even an efficient sex market wouldn't make people happy.

If you're not doing this bit in a standup routine, you should be. "It's not cheating honey! It's just the commodification of sex!"
How do you know that? Just because you think we are fine in general, doesn't mean it worked out fine for those people who were protesting.

I take it you've never asked for directions in a small town? Of course as far as that reasoning takes you, you're correct. I'm pointing out that there is _not_ consensus.

I also refer to the Emperor Norton Memorial Bridge, which is my own small contribution to building consensus on naming a different geographic feature.
I think deciding how best to counteract systematic bias at earlier stages of the pipeline is difficult, and I don't think we should accept widespread collateral damage. That said, I don't think we should use that as an excuse to blow up the whole idea and ignore the bias (I'm not saying that's what you're advocating, just expanding my point).
It's interesting how often good-sounding advice is contradictory.

The article advocates standardization. Using fewer programming languages means fewer toolchains to maintain and less fragmentation of engineering knowledge.

On the other hand, the frequent advice that we should "use the correct tool for the job" suggests being familiar with a lot of different, specialist tools. More programming languages?

I guess it all depends. Knowing when to make a move versus when to do the opposite comes down to taste and experience.
Thought it was very interesting that python was considered an embedded language for this list. Has anyone here actually used python in an embdedded environment before?

If you read the agile manifesto and then you look at scrum, it feels as if scrum has nothing to do with agile. It seems to breaks every rule.

Scrum is processes and tools over individuals and interactions, by its very nature.

Scrum is comprehensive documentation over working software, because you have to map everything out.

Scrum is contract negotiation over customer collaboration, by allowing management to effectively rule scrum, scrum masters are always management or reporting to management, so devolve into contract negotiation by proxy.

Scrum is following a plan over responding to change, again, by its very nature.

It's the most odd thing I've ever seen, that somehow scrum came out of agile and literally got it all backwards. There's even certifications on how to do scrum, which is utterly stupid when you read the 12 principles, some choice scrum oxymorons:

trust them to get the job done - nope, we don't trust you, follow these scrum rules you oiks

simplicity is essential - but we've got all these formal rules for you to follow

working software is the primary measure of progress - no, actually, how many sprints have been successfully completed?

the best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams - but we're not going to let you self organize, you must follow these scrum rules
One of my manager used to say that number of status meetings you must to do is inversely proportional to quality of people you have.

The whole concept of standups and scrum was started to bring highly dysfunctional team back on track. Since then now we have been applying methodology that is required to make highly dysfunctional teams work to all teams.
I don't see your point. Either way the root is still correct.
And you failed to mention the most relevant iteration :

جَمَلَ means to sum-up, to summarize[1] or to concatenate.
Which is what a sentence does to words.

There seems to be no end of sparse formats, potential sparse formats and algorithms for dealing with them.

But it also seems like for a given sparse matrix in a given situation, there's no guaranteed that there's algorithm for handling it. The whole thing requires deep experience or black magic.
One of the first in the "found footage" genre. FWIW, I find that film terribly boring.
That's a relatively new UI behavior popularized by Google Chrome. If you use Firefox, for instance, you can have two text boxes: one for the URL and another one for searching.
There is certainly a place for you. You "just" need to find it since nobody will present it to you. Be humble and accept (almost) anything that you can use to gain experience. One you get started, things will look different after a year.
I don't think It really counts as "elevated horror". The book is interesting; you might call it an elevation of pulp horror. But the movie is just a garden-variety spooky clown movie.

Big budget horror movies are nothing new; look at the Alien franchise.

"elevator horror" is a funny term but I definitely meant "elevated horror"; edited.
It's not special syntax just because the identifier is some symbols. If you don't like the semantics, don't use it; but it's not correct to accuse it of being "special syntax".

Edit: oh, and if you _do_ like the semantics, but hate the weird name, just give it a new name that makes sense to you.

(that-macro-from-clojure ....)
A good sparse matrix implementation is key to any serious numerics. SciPy's implementation is very nice and quite complete, and a foundation for the entire scientific Python ecosystem. Unfortunately, though, many of the low-level sparse operations are not implemented very efficiently, which has lead to some projects having to do their own implementation, see e.g. this discussion for the QuTiP project:
https://github.com/qutip/qutip/issues/850#issuecomment-38400...

It would be really nice if all of the sparse linear algebra in SciPy could be heavily optimized (to a similar extent as e.g. Intel optimizes their sparse operations in MKL), so that the entire ecosystem could benefit from that. This is probably something that would require some corporate support, but given how many data science and finance companies use Python for their workflow these days, it might be a wise investment.
I guess I won't donate this year.

Hope there aren't any spelling mistakes, I tried to ensure everything was correct before I messed with it. I spent way too long on this, and since I've tried to check everything out I need a break. It was still quite enjoyable to do, although I'm sure it had a negative impact on my spelling.

This is only because they/you haven't tried.

So, um, would that be a likely place to score some psychedelics?
Yes but the first is a prerequisite of the second. Reversing the order just makes the problem worse.
Is it necessarily discrimination, or might there be other explanations?

For example, maybe it's discriminatory social expectations of men to be breadwinners, so they're forced to work at really hard jobs like being doctors while their wives can make a free choice to stay home with the kids.

I don't intend this reply to support either view. I'm just saying, discrimination is not necessarily the reason, and even if discrimination is the reason, there are two sides to that coin.
Videodrome has faded from my memory. All I remeber is how I felt watching it. Like A Clockwork Orange, Dead Ringers, and Blue Velvet, I'm not sure I ever want to see it again.

A film I don't often see mentioned but that I still think is a good watch is Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

The thing about javascript is that the concept of constructors and prototypes is so simple and flexible that there's many different ways you can go about structuring your code for inheritance. That's the reason there's so many frameworks that do inheritance differently.

EDIT: On re-reading your post, I wonder what you mean by saying that python's constructors are more similar to functions, compared to javascript's? In javascript, there is no difference at all between constructors and functions. They are simply functions that construct an object and that's it. The capital letter is simply a convention. The use of `this` and `new` is a facility for an implicit variable that javascript provides, but is no less powerful without it.

EDIT 2: Reworded EDIT 1 because I might be confusing python's classes with constructors. I wonder if the parent referred to `__init__`.
Cube isn't even remotely the first film to figure that out. Hammer was doing this in the 1950s.
BlockBuster made a killing on late fees. Netflix eliminated those.
I was working in a movie theater when that was released, and watched it when I got off work one day. I love horror movies, but I agree it was a dud. Given that it inspired countless even less compelling imitators it has a lot to answer for imo.

Responding to the thesis of the article though, I think comedy is at least as disrespected as horror.
There's really no hope of modernizing USPS. The political cost of substantial investment into USPS is higher than the actual cost of capital. If they want to control the quality of their service, it can't involve USPS.

Having previously been a teenage boy, I'm not sure there's really any benefit to discarding names that might get made fun of. Having your name mocked is a pretty inconsequential thing, and probably better than being mocked glfor your physical appearance or mannerisms.

>And the US casualty estimates for that invasion were staggering. In fact, if a US soldier gets shot in Afghanistan today, the Purple Heart they receive was created for the invasion of Japan. After Korea. After Vietnam. After Grenada, and Panama, and Serbia, and Kuwait, and Iraq, and Afghanistan, we're still using Purple Hearts that were made in 1945 to cover the expected casualties from the invasion of Japan.

>About the USSR: The deal was that they were supposed to attack Japan three months after the surrender of Germany. They did so to the day, on August 8, 1945 - two days after Hiroshima.

Citation? Both of those sounds believable but I want to read it somewhere other than a pseudonymous online comment.

>So saying "that was just politics, sending a warning to the USSR" is very much not warranted, given the situation at the time.

That's what I'm saying. The political situation with the USSR wasn't even on the radar of the people managing the bomb program.
This presupposes the person delivering has a problem with envy, greed, and/or entitlement.

From my past life as a hiring manager: having a portfolio (or better yet a demo that you can show during your interview) helps junior hires a lot. It helps in 2 major ways:

1. I can see that the junior hire actually _did_ something worthwhile in addition to their mandatory coursework

2. It creates a topic for discussion that is: a). more comfortable for the candidate and b). more revealing about their work-related traits.

It's a win-win. For senior candidates I just look at the track record. If they have a relevant project on e.g. GitHub, I might take a look, but it's not going to sway anything in a major way unless it happens to be exactly the domain expertise we're looking for, which happened only once.

That's a small company though. A large company will not even look at your portfolio or GitHub unless you're a GitHub superstar of some sort, and maybe not even then. There are several well publicized stories when people who drive huge projects on GH failed to get an offer from FANGs of the world.

The best dev we hired though, had nothing on github and did not have a portfolio. He just wrote code three times faster than anybody I've ever seen and without any bugs.
Making a plane faster is only one dimension for optimization and it's not actually a goal in itself. It sacrifices other goals. Nobody has done better because they are optimizing for something else.

The purpose of the SR-71 was reconnaissance. Do you really think the U.S. military hasn't gotten better at that, using drones and/or satellites?
Can you provide a citation? My understanding is that the USPS is constrained by conservatives trying to break them financially by requiring pension funding requirements drastically beyond what is considered reasonable based on their workforce. Therefore, USPS could modernize when Congress is replaced with politicians not working on dismantling the institution through legislation.

“Back in 2006, Congress imposed a huge and unprecedented mandate requiring that the Postal Service pre-fund future retiree health benefits for the next 75 years and do so within a decade – something no other public agency or private company is required to do.”

“As a direct result of pre-funding, USPS has reached its $15 billion debt limit. In 2005, the Postal Service was debt free. Today, it holds $15 billion in debt – all of it traceable to pre-funding. By forcing the Postal Service to use all of its borrowing capacity making these annual payments, Congress has prevented it from investing in new infrastructure, products and services to better serve American homes and businesses.”

> In 2016, they were spending $813/yr per person while the US was spending $9,403 per person. Despite this, life expectancy was/is about equal.

What Cuba does not have, making this possible:

- huge, huge administrative overhead. Both at the healthcare providers themselves and in the insurance sector. In addition, "rich" patients are not needed to subsidize care for patients who are uninsured/underinsured/cannot pay in full.

- obesity: 35% of US population is morbidly obese compared to 25% of Cuban population. Obesity is a massive driver of medical issues.

- "perverse incentives" where doctors are financially incentivized or, worse, forced by administration to e.g. operate on a patient when conventional therapy would be sufficient (this problem is also endemic in Germany, e.g. https://www.ndr.de/ratgeber/gesundheit/Kaputtes-Knie-Muessen...)

- CYA policies, e.g. when out of fear for malpractice lawsuits, unnecessary tests/labwork are done on the patient

- malpractice lawsuits/damage awards driving insurance premiums through the roof

- a tendency, especially in elderly people, to prolong their life at immense cost, even if it only brings them half a year in utter misery and pain (which is fine from an ethics point of view, intensive care at that level is just expensive as hell)

- hard drug addictions across wide swaths of the population. Smoking and drinking are bad enough but only the US has a huge problem with hardcore drug addicts. They cause cost in the system due to e.g. overdose treatments or contamination-caused complications

- large amounts of homeless/untreated mentally ill people, who often enough

- only come to a clinic when their health is so fucked that it's enormously expensive to nurse them back to health (aka on the brink of death)

- have their illness cause injury in other persons (e.g. due to fights)

- are directly affected by a lack of protection from the elements (e.g. freezing in winter, lack of shade in summer, lack of hygiene during the whole year)

- "abuse" medical resources to have a warm bed (which I'm not mad about, everyone deserves a warm bed, it's just a mis-allocation of resources contributing to the high costs for everyone else)
I think a lot of this depends on the size of the organization and teams involved. Too often I find these kinds of articles (from both sides of the argument) ignore that aspect.

Some aspects of Agile/XP/Scrum etc. obviously have some benefits particularly for larger organizations/teams. On the other hand I've seen smaller companies that are trying to emulate this success really struggle to get real work done, because there are so many standups, retros, kanban and "user stories" etc. In between morning tea and lunchtime, not much breakfix or clearing out tech debt actually gets done, before they are required to pour another bucket of features on top.

I've worked at a company like this that held retros on Friday afternoons and by Monday morning standups, they couldn't remember the things that had been discussed in Friday's retro. It all felt so mindlessly pointless, and playing into the hands of those who make good money selling books about Agile, or talking at conferences about Agile.

IMHO I think the sweet spot is probably somewhere in between.
