I think for this "intensive" approach to therapy the quality of presence and non-judgemental approach of the therapist is really key for it to be effective.

This is easier said than done. It's quite common to have therapists who have themselves unresolved issues, thus limiting their ability to be truly present with the patient.

People open up only when they feel safe, so the main "danger" underlined by the critics in the article is to cause the patient to close up even more.

I did talk therapy and it was useful, but sometimes I wished it was more "intensive". Unless you are super motivated to open up and bring things to the table, the therapist is perfectly happy to hear you talk , for years if need be.

I think part of the reason for this is that from the therapist and patient's perspective, a talk session will almost always have some effect. Simply to be able to vent relieves a bit of stress (and associated symptoms)... but if the patient keeps his shield up, and the therapist doesn't push buttons... or ask salient questions... then this can just go on and on.

I don't see a problem with the "intensive" apporach described in the article, so long as they are addressing patients with physical symptoms who have been in and out of the medical support for years. Those are typically people who are NOT already open to the idea that they may have unresolved trauma, and even downright averse to it. So they are the ones who would benefit the most I think, for a bit of a button pushing.
I do sometimes follow this rule. Caveat: it requires unassigninig tickets that I'm not actually working on.

It makes some people cringe in horror but once you start doing that it does wonders.
> Not tickets, small or otherwise. Not tasks. It has nothing to do with two-weeks.

Just what do you think "early and continuous delivery of valuable software" looks like in practice then?

> Every time I've ever seen a modular development that isolates developers from the business (or from each other), I've seen brittle software

Completely agreed. I've found any "vision of the project as a whole" is exactly where that isolation tends to happen: once this "skeleton of the city" is laid out, business input gets cut out because The Plan has already been agreed.

> Listen, if software helps you, then great, but if your whole life is "pushing tickets", you're not doing Agile. It doesn't matter if you're using Jira or Jello.

Nonsense. Again, how better to achieve "early and continuous delivery of valuable software"?
The birthday adds simply too much information - which is why I mostly obfuscate my birthdate.
I feel like that statement brushes over the frankly enormous amount of suffering throughout history - war, famine, genocide, and so on. While we might survive it's worth at least considering the costs we'll encounter along the way.
Sounds like San Francisco. A decent amount of new construction recently but it’s all ludicrously expensive. Also there’s some small set asides for low income folks, but not nearly enough. And anyone in the middle is especially out of luck.
Presumably without gender, the number of unresolvable clashes would be a bit less than doubled (allowing for even rarer multiple clashes).
The duplicated amplifier as ground design is pointless and pretty much strictly worse than using a normal ground, but has somehow become semi-popular among certain misguided parts of the audiophile community. Good article about it here[1].

The problem with just using the middle of the batteries as ground is that it creates a potentially headphone-damaging DC offset if the batteries drain unevenly for whatever reason. The resistor bridge is the simplest way to avoid this problem, though there are lots of ways to create a dual rail power supply with various tradeoffs[2].

What about sales taxes and VAT? Generally payment processors do not handle that.

Selling copies of one book online to customers in multiple jurisdictions subjects one to many of the same rules, regulations, and registration and reporting requirements as an entity selling copies of thousands of different books.

For the seller of the single book, dealing with all of this is likely prohibitive unless the book is a massive hit.
It is, however, not a new antipattern. This kind of thing has been around since the 80s or at the very least since the POSIX standardization of SCCS.

Even SCCS supported something called "modification request" numbers. These could optionally be checked by an external executable, tracing each commit back to a ticket number.
> At the end of the day, spending heavy up front time on designing great, flexible architecture lets you iterate much more quickly to ship the features people want.

Not my experience. The most important way to get flexible architecture is simplicity - not having things you don't need. More often than not, architecture designed for some kind of flexibility up front turns out to impede flexibility in a different direction (which was actually what was needed) where a more naive design would have been fine.

> In most scrum processes 3 weeks of effort would not be accepted, and the story would be "broken down" into smaller issues such as "implement an upload button".

Yes, but a good scrum process goes like this:

1) the PO presents the story

2) the developers discuss it, and find that it doesn't fit into a single sprint

3) developers and PO together break it down into small issues, for example by turn the original story into an epic, and creating more, smaller issues in that epic.

So when a developer works on the smaller story, they have heard about the context before, and have a link to the epic with the broader context in case they have forgotten.

It's not automatically provided by Jira, but if you use the tools correctly, you can absolutely provide that context.
The logo/brand obsession that they talk about in this article really annoys me. I went into REI to try and buy a jacket recently and could not get anything without an unremovable brand name on the front of it. Underwear without a brand name readable from across the room on the waistband is also difficult to find in stores.
My favorite quote:
[[[
Greg Sullivan, lead product manager for Microsoft's Windows client division, says that the computing community as a whole has benefited from the Web's standardization around Internet Explorer. Competing platforms would have meant that developers would have had to duplicate their efforts more often, he said.

"There is benefit to everybody who's involved," Sullivan said. "In general, a standard is very useful, whether it's de facto or du jour. It enables a level of consistency and a level of investment and minimizes some of the redundancy that can occur."

I'm typing this out from a laptop I keep in a Coach laptop case. I only have it because it was a gift from a friend. His mother works at Coach and frequently gifts her son "premium mediocre" items such as card holders and nylon bags such as my laptop bag. His closet has Coach-branded wallets literally spilling out of it.

I'm very grateful for the laptop bad. It was an unsolicited present when I mentioned I was in the market for one, however when I went to his home to receive it, I couldn't help but feel disappointed in the feel of it.

On one hand, its very subtle. I prefer Coach products over something like LVMH or GUCCI because the labeling isn't in your face. And the Coach leather duffel I paid 800 for in 2013 is still with me in excellent condition after 6 years and 10 countries of daily use.

On the other hand, this is not worth 115USD. Its simply a laptop sized sleeve with a zipper, some padding, and and the official seal with a serial number. No straps, no additional pockets. I guess in some instances you really do pay for the privilege of the name.

Obviously, yes, if you keep going back to the well, eventually someone will betray you. And vesting will make a founder breakup easier (if the company can survive without the founder, and if it hasn't already been long enough that they are fully vested, and if you couldn't have come to a negotiated agreement). And that's a good reason to do it. Another good reason is if your cofounders are already pretty mercenary and the vesting incentive actually makes a breakup less likely.

There are good reasons not to do it too. If you work with good and honorable people, who have kept their promises to other people in their life, and who have (incredibly valuable) reputations as honest people to protect, they are pretty likely to keep their promises to you too. (Don't forget to actually discuss these promises!) Unless you unnecessarily move the decision to leave into the category of "rational economic decision" by putting a price on it. (And four years later, when that price has decreased to zero?)

Another reason is that you might trust your cofounders more than your possible future investors (they have reputational incentives too, but you don't know them yet!), and prefer not to give the latter a possible avenue to steal the company from some or all of you.

Sometimes there can be tax tradeoffs, depending on what else you are doing.

As I said, it might be a good choice to have vesting in many or even most circumstances. Everyone should carefully consider it. But "always no matter what" is not good advice.
The problem with trello is linking tickets intelligently is hard.

The concept of epic/subtasks is missing. So if a ticket becomes to big, and you want to keep the history while breaking it up, requires a boat load of copy/paste.

Also, there is a trend to have a physical board with tickets, as well as a trello board. This was fashionable amongst the scrum masters at previous large employer. It was universally hates as we had to spend loads of time playing with physical cards, then try and copy the state into the ticketing system. Its was annoying and a massive waste of time for everyone.

Especially as it didn't encourage people to write the work they've done on the ticket, to allow it to be taken up by someone new.
Tried to clarify this, it's not that C# and JS are implemented as CPS-like, rather that that's how they're commonly explained; and because of the GC this difference is not really externally visible, whereas with borrowing in Rust it would be.
There are also matters that it is operating fundamentally at cross purpose with itself. It tried to be both the next thing for the gold-bugs who are angry with the very concept of inflationary currency despite the fact relative value really does go down compared with sustained production and being a medium of exchange outside the arbitrary control and rent-seeking of banking systems. Well being a medium for exchange is what gives bitcoins value. Rising in value makes it not worth it as a medium of exchange because everybody is holding onto their pogs instead of trading them making them useless.

That is the exact thing that everybody warns about for deflationary currencies so of course they were skeptical about it. Combine the gratuitous use of processing and power for speculation you can see why they would be less than sanguine about it even before money laundering got involved.

Can you expand on that a bit? I'm a US citizen living in Norway (a member of the EEA but not the EU). I know that I can use the EEA immigration lines at many (but not necessarily all) checkpoints in EEA countries if I present them with my Norwegian residence card at the window.

Are there other travel optimizations, either in-region or elsewhere, that I should look into? Are they all dependent on a residence card, or does a Norwegian driver license or other documentation confer additional rights?

Yes, you would, if that's the level of sophistication you need. If, on the other hand, you are looking for a simple way to log anything without having to set up, deploy, and maintain a plugin or library, Lazylog might be a better choice. It's particularly true when you think of logs as more universal messages, e.g., user visits (like an analytics tool) or email addresses (for a sign-up flow). Very good feedback, Jack. Thank you for taking the time.

What gets measured gets done. If closing lots of tickets is seen as productive, you not only get lots of very granular tickets, but all sorts of grouping tickets and epics as well!

I love how much this comment is a perfect example of developers thinking about nothing but software development. As a sysadmin, I've custom written ticketing software, and used just about all of them, and the thing is Jira really fullfils a role in companies that most of the other ones don't, and I'm not even talking about software development! It's far from perfect, that's for sure, which is why I use jira from emacs. So many people here seem to think every business is a SV software startup and not just some regular old business trying to get shit done and it has repeatedly been a problem I've seen and I'm sure it's the cause many a miscommunication.
I'm a professional sculptress who makes math and physics visualizations, weed is indispensable to my creative process for exactly the reasons you described. It helps me get into that state of flow faster, helps me better visualize abstract concepts and figure out how to translate them into physical objects, makes the boring repetitive parts more fun, and it helps me find more novel and interesting solutions to different construction problems I encounter. I never get stoned, just buzzed, because if I get stoned then I can't do anything. And I really only smoke when I'm sitting down to get to work, I'm not much of a recreational smoker at all. Weed is for business hours! If I just wanna have fun, I'm gonna drink beer.

Alcohol has a pretty negative effect on my work, though. I get sloppy and it's a terrible idea to play with sharp objects and permanent inks if you've been drinking anyway. Loosening up and being unafraid to make things I think might fail isn't something I really struggle with because my creative process is super iterative and experimental. That one Ira Glass quote made me realize the power of full-on wallowing in and relishing the ugly prototype stages of things, so I do a lot of that knowing that after a few different versions to work out the kinks and try some different approaches, I'll have something really good on my hands. I love putting a final sculpture beside the ugly prototype it began as and seeing how far it evolved, it's like looking at a baby picture beside a picture of the successful, well-adjusted adult the baby grew up to be. I can't help but take pride in both of them!
"Good and honorable" has nothing at all to do with it. When you run a company without vesting, you are explicitly telling the founders they have an unencumbered right to their share of the company practically without regard to when they leave. When they come back, 10 years later, what you have isn't a "betrayal", but rather a mutually-motivated disagreement, and one in which one side has a great deal of legal leverage. It's a nightmare scenario that has nothing to do with moral judgements, and exactly the scenario vesting is designed to eliminate.

The idea of starting a company that is predicated on not surviving a founder departure is weird to me.
I agree with a lot of these things -- although I will say it took us a lot of time and the right people to help SET UP JIRA to be able to work with our process.

We're talking about generics. <T> and the like. I can have a Map<String, Dog>, I can have a Map<String, Animal>, and these are different things but they both work fine because both Dog and Animal are first-class types.

Can I have a Map<String, Dog?> ? If no, then Dog? isn't a first-class type. If yes, we have all sorts of nasty surprises, because code written in terms of Map<String, T> will assume that if map.get(someKey) is null then that means someKey isn't in the map, and this code will work fine until someone uses a ? type for T and then break horribly.

Mere assertions that they "should be perfectly capable" are just vacuous statements that don't mean anything.

1) We're not just talking about the US government that will have access to keys.

2) The US government has shown itself to be perfectly capable of losing secrets. I'm not saying, as you did, they "should be." I'm saying they have proved it. So have the governments of other countries.

3) We don't know how those countries got all the information they have. We may know where some of their information came from, but not all of it.

4) NSA is supposed to be our best and brightest at protecting secrets. Look what they did.

5) Some proposals for encryption backdoors allow for access by law enforcement at almost any level, down to local sheriff / police. They would probably stop just above mall cop, if they could.

If you have a retort to just some of these points, unfortunately that doesn't fix the problem. You would have to be able to answer all of them. A leak only takes one weak point.
As an InspIRCd developer you must also be aware that it only takes minutes for anyone to patch an IRC daemon to log chats. I don't think the lack of such a feature in core inspircd indicates anything.
The last sentence of this article resonates with me: Where are the leaders? I see a deep visionary impasse in all of the west.

There is no coherent response to a long list of hard problems. We know China or Russia are threatening us. Extremist leaders are appearing in a lot of our western countries, including US, Australia, a lot of Europe, ... Big multinationals abuse and damage the core social contracts that provide the stability of our nations. A huge climate crisis is coming at us.

Meanwhile, our politicians are bickering amongst themselves. The problems of the 70's are fought with solutions of the 70's. I hate to see how people support right extremism, choose leaders that only damage them, but I do understand their frustration very well. It is clear something is not working.

Every time I hear politicians say how they know what needs to be done, but they will get voted out if they try. I don't believe this is true. A few times, I saw a few rare politicians make a sane proposal where they told voters there would be hurt in the short run, and most of them actually get chosen. I believe the average voter is ready for change. Only there is no politician decent enough to get their vote.

So where are you, leaders? We really need someone who has the daring to acknowledge the problem, the vision to dream big , the common sense to keep it possible, and to actually be capable of executing this vision. Not a small list, but not impossible either.

I'm not saying this proposal is the one final idea to rule them all, but at least it is some step in the right direction.
