I guess it would all hinge on what exactly is meant by “we developed a process that worked for us based on agile core principles.”

The risk of No True Scotsman applied to Agile is that you go and find a process that works, and because it works, it gets labeled as Agile, even though it may (likely) have nothing to do with anything that could be said to resemble Agile.
You can see that even when people drive cars. People will do really stupid things like drive through deep puddles or over uneven ground because they essentially trust the car to do what it does under normal conditions.

That's not the choice either. How about no tax breaks for companies, we enforce existing corporate taxes on those companies, and we raise the marginal income tax rate on very high earning individuals?
I did the same when visiting Taizé in France, whose free WiFi only lasted for 15 minutes at a time! The Terminal command on a Mac, for WiFi, is:

At CERN in Geneva I had a different problem: MAC addresses are registered to staff. My dad retired, and his Thunderbolt Ethernet adaptor was still registered. When I plugged it into my laptop, I not only got his MAC address, but also his device name! My shell started calling my computer a different name!

If you're afraid to use Terminal, you can also install the MacSpoofer preference pane:

Isn't the point that they are societally disadvantaged through that institutionalised racism? And by being marginalised, pushed to a life where they are more prone to commit the violent crimes for which they are incarcerated? ("gangs")

I live literally on the other side of the world so maybe there is something else going on in NZ I don't know. But if it's anything like.. well, anywhere else, then I know the story pretty well: institutionalised discrimination -> social marginalisation -> gangs & crime -> overrepresentation in prisons -> people saying "oh my gosh look at them! they're all criminals!"

"NZ does have proven bias in it's criminal justice system"

Exactly what part? Making sweeping statements like this is dangerous. Does racism exist? Yes. Point it out specifically and I'll fight it with you, but you had better point to specific cases otherwise you risk unfairly tarring people with the same brush.

Let me give you an example.

Years ago I was called up for jury duty. This was back in the days when juries needed to return a unanimous verdict.

I'm Pākehā the defendant was Māori... which made no difference to whatsoever to me. I took this man's fate seriously and carefully weighted the evidence presented.

However, deliberation was locked for two days as the two other jury members, who were both Māori, refused to return a not guilty verdict.

No matter what we did we could not convince those two other jury members and we were forced to return to the judge as a hung jury which required the defendant to remain incarcerated until a retrial.

We were told not to speak to anyone as we walked out of court and as we did, the defendant's family shouted abuse at jury members, including calling us, and that would include me, racist.

I remember feeling so upset over it, especially since I wanted to tell them that it wasn't me, the problem here was Māori being racist to Māori... it had nothing to do with Pākehā racism toward Māori!

So as someone who was temporarily part of criminal justice system, it isn't as simple as your sweeping statements indicates.
Mobile UI builders can barely generalize over their own domain even when they are just targeting a specific platform.

That's not very high praise, to me. Look at all the code you still have to write just creating a table view on iOS. If I avoid writing code, then I'm stuck with stringly-typed identifiers hidden in sidebar menus which is even harder to debug.

The bottom line is that client development is hard. So hard that our tools for more focused platforms than web (like mobile) aren't even better, they just have different trade-offs.

> P.S.: Off topic, but in the back of my mind I worry about Cloudflare becoming the new Google, at least as it pertains to collecting information on the sites that it sits in front of and profiling and monetizing that. Also given that many sites may use the free SSL solution from Cloudflare, the traffic from Cloudflare to the site would be visible to it. I wish Cloudflare would provide cheaper paid plans in multiple tiers so that there's more to it than just free vs. (a relatively steep) $20 a month.

I was just thinking about this when I read the headline. I also wish they would provide some less pricier plans. We used to use them for private servers, lots of skids like to "DDoS" (they pay for a service to do it for them) when you don't make them admins or you ban them for scamming other users, etc.

This is an interesting endeavour that I also investigated. In my case, the dream of making millions via crypto arbitrage fell apart with many different problems.

1. Stale pricing data; exchanges rate limit their api's to check data.

2. Blockchain transactions take an indefinite amount of time, unless on the same exchange.

3. Competition, thousands of other people are playing the arbitrage game too...

It's interesting that this project (like many others) is open for many users to play the arbitrage game. I speculate that it's because it's not profitable to do it yourself, only to sell the tools to other people...

Did Xerox PARC write human interface guidelines?
> I did spend a lot more than 30 minutes with a project coordinator, and complex construction projects seem to align remarkably well with software projects.

I don't understand how you can say this with a straight face. Material costs for software projects are nonexistent (and don't come at me with AWS blabla, it's still way less than when building physical things). Hitting delete on what you've done so far costs nothing. Construction is pretty straightforward in that even if there might be different approaches to building a certain object (like a wall), these different approaches are agreed upon (as in people agree each is a valid approach and will choose which based on the pros/cons of each). Unlike in software where there exists no agreement in how to approach a problem and each programmer out there will probably provide a different solution.
> The interface strikes a good balance between skeuomorphism and unique digital design

I've read many times people called it Fisher Price UI because how it resembled the colorful plastic used in kids toys. Personally I liked the default blue Luna until people figured out how to crack uxtheme.dll (which MS liked to patch back to its own defaults) and Visual Styles become a thing which opened the way to the real customization of Windows interface. Before Vista was released the greatest achievement of skinning community was releasing packages which were replacing default system bitmaps and often obsolete 9x graphical elements and giving in return the true visual integration. But there was also a price - system could be bricked once update was applied.

The true skeuomorphism Microsoft has achieved in Vista - mostly with plexiglass-looking icons which flattened isometric variants are present today in Windows 10. Vista and 7 UI was more closer to OSX Aqua than XP's Luna was but today, both systems as well as Linux DE (notably KDE's Breeze) are following simplicity of semi-plastic flat simple interfaces. Still, in my opinion the Metro design of Windows 10 seems to be least pleasant among all current operating systems UI design but the weird announcement of Office new default icons (I assume there's nothing else to introduce in term of office suite features so new icons set is the way to show that developers do something) seem to previewing another change coming to Windows as an attempt to improve its UI look and feel. Even as some criticized already that these icons look similar to Google's in mockups presented on video, I think such change will do some good to all that Metro's silhouettes.

As for last thing: there were attempts of porting OSX Aqua onto Windows in various Visual Styles, resources packages which obviously look ridiculous; even WindowsBlinds had own theme but not everyone knows that there were also people going the opposite way: https://i.imgur.com/wAm23tU.gif

At the state and local level, that just means companies will leave your state and go somewhere else. In a globalized world, the same thing is true for countries. There is a reason France has an effective 11% corporate tax rate: https://www.npr.org/2017/08/07/541797699/fact-check-does-the... (Chart 2).

If you want to pay for the safety net, do what Europe does and tax middle class people who can't just move to a lower-tax jurisdiction. E.g. in Germany, the 42% tax bracket (just shy of the top 45% bracket) kicks in at around $70,000, and there is a 20% VAT.
I’m not sure I follow your description of undefined behavior, which seems to me to deviate from the standard’s? Correct me if I’m wrong, but to me it seems like you’re saying something along the lines of “the C standard ‘expects’ that null dereferences fault, and ‘assumes’ division by zero to trap; it is impossible to write a standards compliant compiler for architectures where this is not true”. If so, let me know an I’ll explain why I disagree; otherwise, it would be nice if you could clarify what you actually meant.

Enjoying your posts, keep them up! Hooks look like a very powerful API for sharing pieces of functionality between components. You've probably heard this one a lot, but what bothers me a bit about hooks (especially useState) is that before, when you saw a component defined as a function, you could assume that it was just a function that renders something based on its props. However, I think it's a fair trade-off for such a powerful API.

The Koch brothers are amazing. Cars are bigger and heavier than ever, almost everyone has a huge truck in Austin, TX and usually an SUV if not that. They all have more power than ever. But they want to craft a narrative that Obama has been foolishly limiting our choice of cars with efficiency standards.

There are certainly lots of regulations that make cars more expensive than they need to be but I don't think MPG standards are one of the first order cases.

Credit repair
Negative marks on my credit report were causing me great distress. I wasn’t able to get approved for anything due to my credit history. I wanted to move to a new house so I needed help fixing my credit as soon as possible. I read an article on Quora from a lady that was helped by a trusted credit repair specialist and the lady dropped his contact; CREDITSPECIALIST4@GMAIL.COM, +1 912 388 3132. I gave him a call and asked for his help. After some couple of days, he eventually cleared the bad items on my report and raised my score to 794. I got my life back and I was qualified for almost everything. Contact him if you also need help with your credit issues.

Thanks & Great write once again!

All media contains a mix of good things and bad things.

The good things survive the test of time and, years on, are remembered and much loved; the bad things are quietly forgotten.

So, when we look back at the past, it feels like the good we have now is much more dilute and harder to pick out than what we remember; but this impression is not an accurate reflection of reality.

(The effect is even stronger with old foreign media, since only the better things crossed borders especially pre-internet but with each year we are exposed to more and more of the firehose).

Can you advise me some ideas on how I can promote it and attract contributors to get onboard?

If you enjoyed the communal circle of playful discussion and pipe management, I'd advise playing a board game, or some other sort of verbal parlor game.

The only criticism I have of Indie Hackers is that sometimes discussion can get a little spammy (lots of people looking for early adopters). Not every conversation is like that, but some posts are.

As someone building a startup on their own (full time) I've found Indie Hackers a really supportive community. The stories there are often relatable, and far less sensational than typically seen places like HN. If you're going through the daily grind of trying to grow a small business / startup then it's a good place to drop by every now and again to help stay sane.

A number of attacks on Agile I've read have made precisely the opposite claim: that Agile is "too generic" and not focused enough on the specifics of software development.

My experience is that an Agile approach can be effective at all the things you mention, and you don't particularly need to do anything different on the Agile side of things.

What is true is that Agile relies on being able to iterate quickly with the end customer (in the sense of "whoever is giving you this requirement"), and only adds value when the requirements change quickly and/or the customer isn't actually quite sure what they want.

In my experience this is a lot more common than you might think even in non-software, and creating the conditions for success can be easy once you try. E.g. if you ask your regulator whether you can take a more collaborative approach this time, have a frequent back-and-forth where you show them the current state of things and see whether they're getting what they want, or have any changes to what they want from you - you might be surprised how willing they are to try, and how happy both of you are with the resulting process.

But yeah, it is a substantial change, and I can believe there are domains where the costs outweigh the benefits. If you're working in a domain that's very well-understood, where the customer really can figure out the requirements up-front without even a prototype to go on and those requirements really are going to stay the same for however long it takes to implement them, then fair enough, maybe waterfall will work better. I do think very little of business actually works that way though; in my experience even "successful" waterfall projects that deliver all the requirements that were originally identified often turn out as something most stakeholders aren't very happy with. "It's just what we asked for, but not what we want" is very real.
