I'm struggling to see what's new here -- this has been known for decades.

Just look into any decent book on myofascial release massage, or rolfing, or somatic meditation -- our long-term emotional states, repression, etc. directly affect our muscles, posture, digestion, back pain, etc., and releasing those emotional states can be achieved via a combination of psychotherapy to address the emotional sources, and massage/rolfing to simultaneously address their physical manifestations.

Performers like actors and singers tend to be especially aware of this, as becoming physically free enough to perform at a high level often requires both extensive therapy and bodywork, depending on your background. I've heard Broadway singers talk about how reaching that level of tone production is 90% psychological and only 10% technique.

True, most doctors as well as the general public seem mostly unaware of this, but it's not exactly a secret or new either.
Isn't that the fact most products get bloated over time, especially when funded in wrong ways?
It's the biggest newspaper in Canada. What is the problem?
Amazon doesn't have a monopoly on physical book production or distribution. As the author notes in TFA, he looked at other production options and they were roughly the same as Amazon.
> I think everyone can agree that cryptocurrency got way ahead of itself but HN almost seems Luddite in it's treatment of the underlying technology

Or we were just chalking it up to "Irrational Exuberance." Instead of addressing initial concerns economists had about it, most proponents were arrogant in their belief that old school economics wouldn't apply to cryptocurrency.

And that gets me to the second point. The people arguing for cryptocurrency weren't transparent in their holdings of it. And that seems to be what created the bubble. Now people are questioning where the basement price is on bitcoin, and it seems like there's nothing but arguments like "It's the money of the future".
It’s infuriatingly slow for me. Is this a configuration thing? Are our teams doing something different?

It seems to me that it’s slow on a number of levels. It just takes a long time to load each page, and on top of that, basic operations usually take far too many clicks. So I figured it was just a bad tool.

Free market forces cause a change in behavior, though not the one you think is ideal. We would most likely install more air conditioning. Property values would change, with both winners and losers. Canada would benefit greatly.

No, we wouldn't stop the temperature rise, but that wouldn't be the end of the world. Alternatives are not viable because even the most brutally abusive whole-world government wouldn't be able to stop cheaters, and anyway in that case the cure is worse than the disease.
I editorialized the title a bit - the author's title is "Simulating identification by zip code, sex and birthdate." Instead I've used the salient conclusion of the article, which is pretty interesting.

This article is a footnote to another front page submission by the same author, "No funding for uncomfortable results." While that article is sobering, I find this one to be technically cooler. The author uses a simple probabilistic calculation - alongside a Python simulation - to demonstrate how 87% of Americans are uniquely identifiable, given these three points of data.

Not a novel finding, but I like the way the author demonstrates the conclusion analytically and programmatically.
I think crypto is like VR. It's a great idea built by smart people but it's a solution looking for a problem. It never got the mass adoption that justified it's early price jumps. I genuinely hope some day someone needs it but for now I don't think venmo and dumb contracts are expensive enough or risky enough to incentivize the masses to adopt.
Incredibly useful website. I have a few suggestions but please don't take this as negative criticism! I travel a fair bit and having these things would make this website my "one stop shop" for travel needs!

* The ability to export a list of results into CSV or something else that I can import into a spreadsheet. I tend to make travel plans on spreadsheets, and this would be very helpful.
* Scrolling to the left or right makes the colours disappear? I think this may be an OSM limitation but it really confused me.
* Is there a way I can filter on multiple categories? I'd like to look at visa-free and visa-on-arrival in the same map.
* This may be personal preference, but the emoji are really distracting.
* The region filter doesn't seem to influence the subregion filter? If I select "Asia" as a region I assumed the sub-regions list would reflect only the sub-regions of Asia but that doesn't seem to be true
* If I can subscribe to visa status *changes* for my country by email I'd give up my email address immediately. I'd probably be willing to pay money for this if it's accurate :)* The fact that this is non-authoritative doesn't bother me at all. You may want to highlight this a bit more "strongly". Maybe give up some of that priceless above-the-fold real-estate just to save yourself any legal trouble.
* Consider linking to traveldoc.aero as well.
* Several people I know and work/travel with have multiple passports from countries that allow it. Consider allowing the multiple home countries!
> Having small-scale tickets that you actually finish is the very essence of agile

Bollocks.

The "highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software."

Not tickets, small or otherwise. Not tasks. It has nothing to do with two-weeks.

> Ignoring the "wider vision" is the best way to produce software that actually solves people's problems

I have no idea what you could possibly mean by this.

Every time I've ever seen a modular development that isolates developers from the business (or from each other), I've seen brittle software, and that's assuming they get done at all.

> But a lightweight board that you push tickets through - the famous "kanban" - is a great way to develop software (I've had a lot of success with Trello, though I fear it's only a matter of time before Atlassian bloats it into JIRAness).

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.

U.S. emissions have declined three years in a row. (Sounds like the capitalist approach might be working?) But by all means, instead of going after countries whose emissions are actually increasing, let's instead implement one of the most murderous political philosophies of all time. If these politicians were serious about addressing the issue, they wouldn't tie it to such a controversial measure.
You must be thinking of some other common headphone amp design? The changes I'm talking about would just get rid of like half the components.
The file is just a generic Jupyter Notebook (JSON with .ipynb extension). The link to colab is just an iframe wrap to allow authenticated user to change it.

Functional wise, it works just like a wiki.

It can be hosted on any Jupyter platform (such as google colab, Azure notebook, your own Jupyter instance) or a Jupyter viewer platform if you do not want to run he code. But you will lose the capability of pushing the update back to the shared copy.

Here is an example of saving it to a github gist and viewed in nbviewer:

Do you know of any places where I can read more about how Apple uses Radar for their software development lifecycle?
This article makes some really good points about the importance of knowing the larger project and infrastructure context when digging into details of a software project to fix bugs or add features.

And, I'm not a fan of Jira.

But, the difficulties noted in the article feel wrongly assigned to Jira. They aren't Jira's fault. It's a process problem of the org using Jira. A deficiency in the way projects are architected, documented, and communicated about. It's not the tool itself that is the problem.
Not only is it legal to resell media, but that FBI warning is not from the FBI at all, at least up until 2003. The FBI had nothing to do with that message before. They did finally authorize the use of their seal in 2003. Before that, just typical Hollywood trickery to scare people.

>> People use React for a lot more than just defining components - they use it for data fetching, animations, etc.

Using React for data fetching and animations seems like a bad idea, it is not the best tool for the job.

React is popular today, tomorrow it may be View, then there will be something else. If you can write reusable components that work in all of todays frameworks and tomorrows, while sticking to standards, while taking advantage of things like Shadow DOM, why would you still limit yourself to React? I am not saying the entire application should be a Web Component, but certainly reusable parts should be written as Web Components so that they can work in all your applications even if they don’t all use the same framework and in future applications that use yet-to-be-invented framework.
Kweb has a neat solution to this, I outline it in this Reddit comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/a4dtp2/kweb_a_...
> And so people take tickets, implement them as written, pass them off to whoever is next in the workflow, consider their job well done, even if working on scattered groups of them in parallel might be much more effective … and without ever considering the larger goal. “Implement the Upload button” says the ticket; so that is all that is done. The ticket does not explain that the larger goal of the Upload button is to let users back up their work.

Jira was designed for agile software development like Scrum, so you should write user stories, not mini specifications.

An upload button alone is no user story, a story might be "As a user, I want to be able to import the Excel reports that I get from company $XY, so that I don't have to manually enter the data, and save a lot of time that way", ideally including a reason why that data needs to be there.

That way, you get the context that the article is bemoaning the lack of, and the developer might even think "Hey, I know company $XY has an API for getting the report data, wouldn't it be even easier if we fetched it directly?"

And in a good agile process, you'd discuss this with the product owner, and rewrite the story to "As a user, I want data from $XY company in my system with minimal effort" or something like that.

No tool can substitute a good development process, and good communication between the involved parties.

That said, Jira does have it downsides, and not tracking dependencies very well is one of them.

And then there are things that can be downsides, but don't need to be. It's so flexible that many shops configure it to be pretty much unusable, but others create workflows that work very well.
Cool! How about Microsoft taking their own advice to their heart and build services (e.g. Cortana) that run on-device?

I would recommend just following the official React tutorial: https://reactjs.org/tutorial/tutorial.html

There are many other tutorials on the web but the official one has had a lot of work put in to making it seamless and letting you get a feel for what it's like to work with React without throwing too many tangential ideas at you.
Cloud performance is poor. OOTB Server install isn't a silver bullet nor is Data center.

It's a spawling Java app with hundreds of discrete components, aging plugin architecture and is susceptible to configuration creep.
Liquid electrolytes for high-energy fluoride ion cells
Isn't that the point of planning meetings and standups? To audit whether the tickets and the work actually solve the greater product need?
Yes, Babel's transform of `async` to ES5 is similar. It turns has to turn a function into a state machine. Rust goes a step further and turns the entire chain of futures into one large combined state machine.

But the rest of the event-loop machinery is quite different. JS's async is still fundamentally callback-based. Rust's futures are polled. In JS there's a single global event loop and promises run automagically. In Rust you create futures managed by their executors, each handling its own kind of tasks (CPU pools, network polling).

The author uses a flawed analogy to push a flawed argument.

Jira is a tool to track what stuff needs to be done. Using the author's city analogy, they appear to be advocating that all city workers need to have a vision of the whole city plan for any task they they are doing, that doesn't scale.

Large projects are to big to fit all the detail in one person's head. Design goals are broken up, issued to specialist teams, which then break them up again.

To then blame the tool for worker not bothering to understand what they are working on is not the fault of the tool, its the fault of the worker.

Ok smart arse, how do _you_ use Jira then?

Simple, its a big arsed multidimensional to-do list. There are a set of business goals with solid business deliverables(which of course translates into vague tech targets) Each team is assigned high level tasks. Its up to them to split them up and write down _what_ they want to do, and then in small subtasks _how_ they are doing it.

if they are too stupid to ask "how does this align the business need?" then they shouldn't be allowed grown-up scissors. (why are you hiring them?)
Same for Kotlin.
I still use streaming to discover but buy to own for disconnected times, which are usually intentional. For example, I don't want touch interface or internet connected anything while driving.
OGG too.

I love Bandcamp.

They also have an app that offers streaming and a bunch of social features so you can make a page for yourself where you show off the music you like and make playlists and interact with others. It's probably a great feature, but the thing that really sets Bandcamp apart is that you can just ignore the fuck out of it and pay money for some files that you can download using a browser and put on your own drives and devices.
JIRA is meant to break up work. Atlassian has another product called confluence to let you write prose, like the author wants, and you can link all these things together. When you have a group of 3 people on your team, you need to coordinate different parts of the feature into separate tasks for each developer so that they can work in parallel. This guy/girl hasn't discovered anything we don't already know.
It would fall on Xi but that doesn't mean the conflict will end, once blood is spilt, there will be anger. I've seen enough Middle Eastern conflicts to see where it would end. We can blame Assad for the Syrian war but its not ending it.
Play store is not a requirement. You can use f-droid or something similar and it has most everything you might need.
What are you doing that I am not? Jira is slow as hell and updating statuses take forever.

Are you on an onprem version?
> I'm not sure what Jon Evans means by "prose" to document the "macro vision"... a freeform text file? MS Word doc?

Yes. Sometimes.

> Personally, I need more structure than that so I use a spreadsheet for it. I like to create columns of metadata to assign a priority, notes about difficulty, estimated time, estimated cost, etc.

I think having a spreadsheet is good too.

This isn't either/or.

> Yes, the source code is a "source of truth" but it's only truthful at the abstraction level of generating an executable. It's the wrong abstraction for gathering wishlists and future goals and priorities.

I don't think that's what is meant by this statement: the source of truth is always the running code. I read it a call for an iterative and evolving "design" that comes from the program as it is run, instead of some repository of code or tickets.
The more fields you configure, the slower it gets.

(That seems to be my impression, at least).
There's a middle ground between shipping a bunch of features and beautiful architecture that does nothing. 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.
My favourite "agile Jira" is https://clubhouse.io/
The website is accurate - a visa is required- but oversimplifying things. It's certainly possible, but it requires jumping through hoops. Essentially you have to "hop" through a third country.
I guess what jesse_m had in mind were the mini languages from the article. I'd say 'calc' looks like a good starting point, but I agree that picking an order is hard.
This is extremely useful feedback.

1. I understand, there isnt a plan as data keeps changing. i will see what i can do

2. Go it.

3. I'm thinking of adding it.

4 :)

5 Yes, it should. I just wanted to keep it dumb in the begining. Will change that.

6 Interesting

7 I will

8 Yes this is the most requested feature, i will build it soon.

Again thanks a lot for the wonderful feedback.
Its going to sound crazy but stick a paperclip into the lightning port and scrape along the top. I bet a small amount of dirt will come out.

These ports pick up some lint and dust after a few months and it packs in pretty hard. Eventually it will give you connection issues.
I know they sound really cool. I’m saying that it’s illogical to do so in the real world. Centralization is almost always cheaper, faster, and stronger.
Jira also has the least consistent UX of any SaaS product I've used (Skype may be a close second).
> Do Slack give free access to open source communities like that?

Yes. It’s free for non-profit orgs.

>"As a user, I want to be able to import the Excel reports that I get from company $XY, so that I don't have to manually enter the data, and save a lot of time that way",

This is a more general user story than I've seen when I've worked in agile developments. Usually, the stories are quite specific, like "As a user, I can click an Upload button to provide an Excel report."
When do we get large binary support? (I know there are external projects for this, but they are not nearly as convenient as they could be, as you'll have to run separate server daemons, do separate configuration, etc.)

I hate to admit I only got into this after the EDA software and PCB fab services and Youtube soldering demos really hit the scene. I am a long time software engineer and it took the current ease of things to surpass my laziness barrier. I wouldn't be doing this at all if I was etching myself. Typical PCB prices are $5 per 10 two layer boards and an extra $15 per stencil. Most the price is shipping so if you order multiple projects at the same time the cost really goes down.

You make a good point about noise. If you are going to have a mixed board you better maintain separate digital and analog ground planes and perhaps even test a couple different layouts.

His pure analog schematics would be well suited to a 2 layer with one side being a ground plane and if any traces did have to be routed on the ground plane side it would be easy enough to ensure they were out of the way of any return paths.
The problem with Agile is that no one is doing True Agile™, because no one can agree on what True Agile™ is.
Hi, this isn't related to the parent comment, but I'm wondering why you went through all this effort, which you don't seem to have enjoyed, just to be able to listen to music at home but not at your desk. Isn't all the stuff you have pretty bulky to be carrying around? Not to mention the portable CD player probably skips if you're walking around with it somehow in a pocket.

It seems like all of this could be solved with some bookshelf speakers. You can hook up your portable CD player or browse Craigslist/Goodwill for an older HDCD player that'll run higher sampling rates and queue up multiple CDs, have music for cooking/cleaning/exercising. Maybe even get a Chromecast Audio and have effortless streaming.
One oddness - home country is AU, attempting to determine status for Croatia. On the map it comes up as visa-free. Filtering 'croatia' shows it as visa-free. But even after scrolling all the way to the bottom, Croatia only shows up as as one of the languages spoken in Montenegro and Bosnia & Herzegovina. Might be a browser artefact - I'm on Chrome - and/or after-effect of page load, but it's not ideal. (It's always faster to type ctrl-f than to mouse-navigate to on-page search / filter dialogs.)
But that's it! We hate to be connected with former Soviet eastern block. Therefore it's even more important for us to be considered and called Central Europe ;)
Can I? How much do you think someone who shits in the street today is willing or can afford to pay for private toilet infrastructure? I disagree with RMS about a lot of things, but I don't see how this would be solved without public spending.
I think those are what I have at work. I'm quite sure they do a bunch of stuff of DSP/EQing to make them sound better than they are. When you turn the power off and use them as normal headphones they're mediocre at best.
The problem is that tracking dependencies is a critical part of most software development. For example, the "import reports from $XY" story really needs to have a consistent user experience with the "import data from $AB" story. if I can't express that dependency in the tool, I have no choice but to write down the $AB workflow as a specification for the $XY ticket.
Right. It's all due to repressed anger at his mother....

There is no one true approach.

Although, treating people who work for you like you would treat any other adult human who is equal to you is a good approach in general.
