I'm not sure why you find the word so troubling.

Polestar have been racing Volvos for a decade, and Volvo have been selling Polestar editions of their cars very successfully. "Polestar" is essentially Volvo's performance branding, just like AMG for Mercedes and M for BMW.

I personally like the V60 Polestar, it's a nice little 360hp wagon. I have a Polestar engine tune on my personal wagon.

As for the word itself... Volvo is from the Nordics, and culturally the Pole Star is a significant and positive term:

> If you're missing sprint deadlines, its not necessarily a personal failure as much as a process failure.

Is this true?
I was watching a talk from James Coplien the other day and he claimed 50%. That seems extreme.

Lyft, Uber, and Taxis aren't as sticky as YouTube though, the majority of both drivers and riders readily use all 3 varying only on convenience.

Google even promotes this by having the ride hailing part of maps.

The scooter business amplifies this even further, very few users or charges have a strong preference to a single brand.

While YouTube had advantage in content, Vimeo had targeted commercial content, but very low stickiness.
>this term usually refers to a generic type of open-ish, often plastic or rubber, shoe

I don't know if it can be called a shoe, unless you were using the term loosely - I saw that you mentioned slides, sandals, etc. The open-ish part is right, it is an open item of footwear, see below.

Google "bata chappals images" and "hawaiian chappals images" to see two common kinds of footwear that are both informally called "chappals" in India. The former includes ones made out of leather or synthetic materials (what is called PU here, maybe polyurethane, not sure), at least for the cheaper brands (or non-brands). I dislike and never buy the PU or similar type. Feels slimy/slippery and wrong to the skin, and causes more perspiration than either rubber or leather, IME, although rubber and leather cause some too, in higher temperatures during summer.
As Monero currently has ASICs running on the network no they're not.

But without them yes they are profitable especially if you're not paying for electricity as in this case.
There are two variants of MathML: semantic MathML (which does capture enough structure of an equation, and sees very very little use) and presentational MathML (which doesn't, but is much easier to author, and accounts for almost all MathML usage). There's no real difference in usefulness between presentational MathML and TeX.
OK, OK, misunderstood your point - apologies. Yeah if they're selling those as potential profitable avenues... red flags are up. That's not selling shovels to miners, that's selling spoons.
In Japan they collect different types of trash on different days at firmly set times at dedicated spots; if you miss the day/time or aren't quick enough to get to the spot prior to collection, you have to keep that trash for another week. It was quite an experience when I lived in Kyoto (near Tō-ji temple) to observe/take part in this process.
> Then there’s the challenge of educating people about what can and can’t be recycled

I have never lived anywhere where the local council has made any remote effort to do this properly. Surely they'll list a few common items that can and can't be recycled - like maybe 10 things. But people come into contact with a vast array of different items. 10 doesn't cut it.

They mention wire coat hangers - why can't they be recycled? I would have thought since they are metal they could easily be magnetically separated and melted down with all the other metal. No recycling box says whether or not you can recycle wire coat hangers so you just have to guess.
Amazing how many people think "single stream recycling" means the recyclables get sorted from the garbage!
Rules of Play (Zimmerman, Salen) and Art of Game Design: a Book of Lenses(Schell) come to mind as resources that cover this sort of "comprehensive" study.

In my opinion, there isn't a great deal of direct design information that can be gleaned from compendiums, though, even though they have surface appeal and can bring you up to speed on surface trends. It's equivalent to trying to do artistic work by only using "how-to" guides and not other forms of reference: the magic happens in adapting from one medium to another and developing the needed technique along the way, not from strenuously studying an existing technique because it's fashionable to do so.

e.g. if you make a game that has "polished Mario style movement" and "rock paper scissors combat," you have made something totally familiar and predictable. It can be reasonably interesting during the game session but still fail to attract attention or hold anyone for the long term. A great of the interest is in not knowing for sure that the game will reduce to a "predictable and fair" design trope like RPS.
The author deeply misunderstands Scrum. They also misspell it as SCRUM but that's another story...

Sprints are timeboxes and not deadlines. Stuff is done at a "normal" pace and it either fits (or does not) in that timebox.

Fundamentally, it does not really matter in itself. Noting down whether the estimation was correct or not, though, is important.

The whole point is that a team is supposed to get more _predictable_ over time. They learn how to estimate better, and having a fixed "box" to fill is a very easy way to do so.

So: Scrum is a "scientific" way to reach a sustainable pace ("scientific" meaning: based on objective, repeated measurements).

This is not to say that Kanban does not work. It's just way way harder to do right, because measurements of how good a team is at having a sustainable pace are not as intuitive and are easy to ignore for teams -- and ignore it they do, unless they are very well disciplined.

But all of this is well know in the world of Agile, I remember talking about this ten years ago. Perhaps an agile coach would truly help this person.
I thought Monero was designed to be resistant to ASICs? Please correct me if I'm wrong, I don't have that much knowledge about crypto₹.
I was astounded to watch in one organisation while the Software Eng. Manager talked in terms of sprint failure and turned it into a performance issue. That resulted in all sort of unintended consequences.
I find it amazing how people throw filthy containers and even food trash, used napkins, teabags in with recycling (because it's "compostable"). It just contaminates the whole lot.
But the information is captured, even if the signal to noise ratio is very low. There are audio restoration tools nowadays that work amazingly well, some even using AI(or claiming to) - so even if you have a recording where it sounds just like plain noise, there is still some capacity of extracting the signal you need out of it. That's mostly because the background noise is not random, it is of a certain pattern, constant and repeating and therefore can be captured and cancelled. Then the actual signal we need, which differs from the noise pattern, stands out.
It depends on what you’re doing. Some verticals in my neck of the woods are 65% or more Asian, mostly because the candidate pool is tight and often requires relocation.
True, but it takes energy to produce and dispose of the plastic packaging, so it’s no so clear which produces the least co2 without doing the math.
I would eat any living organism except for another human and close pets whom mean a whole lot to me emotionally and whom carry transitional memories that my brain wishes to keep.

Not eating another human has nothing to do with the fact that we share a species and everything to do with the conscious psychological decision to have respect for the life of all highly cognitive beings which can live complex lives, and not arrogantly place my own need for survival higher than theirs...

But nuances aside, fundamentally I don't differ from the deer, birds, or squirrels in that I'm wired to do almost anything necessary to satisfy my hunger impulse. So I'm not sure how what you're saying makes any difference.
I gave it a quick try and "it just worked" with minimal configuration. Really easy to get started.

The idea was absurd from the outset. A few minutes of mobile CPU mining in a browser is a nearly worthless pittance.
Are those internal myths equivalent to rationalizations of the decisions? Do you have any anecdotes or know where to find some?
Hope this helps illustrate the point:

That $250,000 every month amount was made at the cost of way more than $250,000 worth of electricity.

I guess my main question is... is this needed? Has there actually been a case where the MIT license was inadequate for it's purpose in a real-world scenario?
> So it's ok with you if companies treat people like crap

This is a severe misstatement of that person’s argument. Believing that there is no better alternative isn’t the same as believing something is good.
Found this use of it interesting (from the Wikipedia article about dry ice):

>Plumbers use equipment that forces pressurised liquid CO2 into a jacket around a pipe. The dry ice formed causes the water to freeze, forming an ice plug, allowing them to perform repairs without turning off the water mains. This technique can be used on pipes up to 4 inches (100 mm) in diameter.[23]
But it wasn't coinhive or coinhive's users who were paying for it. Website visitors carried the cost...
No, the idea is that you don't set hard deadlines for the team - they're pointless. It results in unnecessary stress and work won't get done any faster (maybe in the short term, but it's unsustainable).

Either the deadline is too short and your team has to work overtime, or it was too generous and you lose efficiency.

The project manager, of course, still needs to be able to make an estimate according the his team's velocity, which he can then communicate to other business divisions.

Try Micronaut, which is a micro framework specifically designed for superfast startup time and low memory footprint. It also works with GraalVM.
You indirectly state that I claim "knowing the character pool of a password lets you reliably predict if n is sufficient."

Please point to the part of my statement which reflects this idea.
It really depends on where you live. I live in a pretty central part of Austin, and for socks I have the following options:

1) Amazon Prime Now with 2-hour delivery

2) I can drive to Walmart (5 minutes) or Target (10 minutes)

3) I own an electric scooter (the same ones Bird uses) so I can scoot over to Walmart (10 minutes on scooter)

In any city, if you live 45 minutes outside of civilization, you're going to run into the situation you described. Lots of people here live in the hill country or out in rural areas because it's quiet and they can get lots of land cheap. To me, that's a benefit of living in this area--that that type of real estate is available--but personally, I prefer to live closer in.
In the US, I'd prefer rideshare over taxi in most situations. Part of this is vehicle quality, route quality (guaranteed to use maps). The other big part is lessened tipping culture for now (if Uber and Lyft start suggesting 15+% I'd leave pretty rapidly.)
Yes, of course, but my point wasn't that if you cache all results your software will be faster. My point is just that it is possible to write code that consumes more memory, and runs faster under some circumstances, which refutes the ops claim that all software that uses more memory is slower.
Surely the problem is the 'Everything is a stream of bytes' model?

Eg:

Ls | foo | bar

Ls just prints nl separated strings, no metadata, nothing to tell you what it is.

In current practical terms that means avoiding the shell, that isn't inherent though. I guess powershell avoids this issue.
Thanks for pointing this out, I fixed it.

Producers have to be made responsible for disposal. Perhaps a tax on the weight and type of material of the packaging minus recovered and reused materials.
Damn, this actually looks nice. I wonder if we can archive.
>This is a general-purpose argument against charging for anything. Someone won't be able to afford it, so we should make everything free, right?

No.

You extrapolating a very specific argument to the nonsense degree and it not making sense anymore doesn’t mean the original argument was invalid.

Nor does it mean the original argument was an endorsement of your extrapolation.
> There's a reason nobody gave a shit about the taxi market pre-ridesharing.

That's one of the goals yes.

However efficient ASICs were able to be constructed for the current (and previous) algorithms.

Monero will make a hardfork, right now actually, to brick the existing ASICs. The new algorithm isn't sufficiently different to prevent them however and we will probably see efficient ASICs in under 6 months.

The long term hope instead lies on a new algorithm[0] which tries to change the POW algorithm all the time. Will it hold up or will someone manage to create efficient ASICs? Your guess is as good as mine.

The game has been free to play for years now, so you might need an old disc image to get at the checksum algorithm :).
I'm excited about languages where being smarter pays off in clarity. Java isn't great but Go avoided any of the improvements I'd like to see.
> But if twice as much is spent on marketing then in the case of pharmaceuticals it appears this is inefficient.

Marketing includes the cost of bringing the new compound to the attention of medical professionals who might benefit from knowing about it. This means hosting conferences, having representation at conferences/trade shows/exhibitions, seminars and other educational material, etc. Medical professionals are busy people who don't have time to independently research every new compound being brought to market, so someone has to make it very easy for them to learn about new compounds and easy for them to determine if it's something they need to care about. Hospitals and pharmacies have to be convinced that it's something that should be stocked, insurance companies have to be convinced that the treatment is cost effective enough to justify covering.

> These drugs tend to be necessary for people in ways that Google is not. There are cases where people live in penury due to high drug costs. From the perspective of beneficial to society it seems from my perspective that this is inefficient.

The resources that are expended to create new drugs could in the short term be spent far more efficiently on saving lives were it all donated to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The benefit to society of drug research is not the well being of those people that a drug can treat when it is created, but rather that the drug now exists and will be available for all time. On the balance of the moral calculus, what happens during the 10-15 year window in which the drug is available and still protected by patent is totally negligible.
I don't think its a competition between the wealthiest and the rest. Its really competition between a lot of smart people. Some of them might be really good at math.

If you have phd in math I am sure you can figure out how to use python or c, and that is who you are going up against people who have phds from harvard, stanford, Princeton in math, physics, engineering etc. These are the people writing the quant algos going up against yours.

I actually took a class on this stuff in college. Basically, the forces involved are so tremendous that there's probably nothing we can do to prevent an asteroid impact. Also, odds are we wouldn't even detect it until maybe a few days before.

Maybe if we had 20 year's notice, we might be able to do something. But even then, probably not.
No, because I consider the lesson learned far more valuable than what I lost. In college, I never had the urge to cheat on anything and if I didn't do the work I simply took the F rather than copy. My pre-expulsion self would have done whatever it took to get the A. Post-expulsion I realized that what I know and what people say or think I know will never be the same. A grade is simply what one person thinks that you know. It is not the arbiter of one's knowledge, you are.
A bigger problem is this:

- Given a distributed Erlang system with two nodes, where both nodes are running the same release;

- Given the same process (Erlang thread) on both nodes, running the same code (i.e. a GenServer backed by the same module)

- Given a new version of the release is being applied

You can't assume that the two processes will be upgraded at the same time. This means that messages sent between those processes may violate the types expected by one version or the other. Furthermore, in Erlang, any process can send a message to another process, so there is no way to enforce that the data a particular `receive` expression gets will even be a type defined in the code it is running. Furthermore, even on the same node, during an upgrade, some parts of the system are still running old code, while some parts are running new code, so it isn't even specifically about distribution.

There is a whole area of type system research around session types, which are designed for more or less this use case, but from what I've seen, none of them handle the case of arbitrary messages, or the case where system upgrades are being rolled out and old code may receive messages from new code.

I still think there is a place for a type system in Erlang/Elixir, but it would have to deliberately ignore process messaging at the very least, at least until a type theoretic solution is available.
>Why the focus on crypto...

We started with cryptocurrency because of our personal experience in cryptocurrency trading as we had to stay awake sometimes to close our positions, we missed trading opportunities with manual trading. We felt the infrastructure is much more limited for cryptocurrency trading since it is new and majority of the trading is done by individual vs institutions compared to other asset classes. Also the market inefficiencies are greater in cryptocurrency trading and individual traders or small shops have higher chances of building profitable strategies where they don’t have to compete with HTF at the moment.

>Why mention 1000s of currency pairs...

You are right. 90% of the trading happens on just top 20 coins but since our users requested other pairs we added them.

>Where's your education section...

Point well taken. We are already producing content on the education side.
https://medium.com/mudrex/tagged/learning
We are planning to launch a more formal education section for new traders.

>Saying you're democratising something...

Right now traders are dependent on coding skills and capital to set up infrastructure to automate trading. For example a person with a balance of $1000 can’t get into it.

>You've probably built something really cool...

Your concerns are valid. We are doing webinars, writing blogs and trying our best on this side and will do things as time progress.
https://mudrex.com/indicators
https://medium.com/mudrex/managing-risk-while-trading-4c1455...

>There's huge room for a profitable business...

This is exactly what we are going to build. We are working on a code editor where people would be able to build their custom logic while keeping the simplicity of the platform same for everything else. On a high level our objective will remain “building tools traders need in their automated trading”.
Come on, you're just hand-waving here as much as the people you're trying to criticize. You don't like the idea that animals have empathy so you invoke delayed gratification as if that were a more common animal trait. Do you really think an animal is going to spend 20 minutes trying to get a tasty snack out of a barrel because it's hungry - and then set it aside for later once it has hold of the snack?

You're right to be cautious about interpreting animal behavior, but you're inadvertently making the same mistake from a different direction.

In fact, Scrum changed the word “commitment” to “forecast”.

https://www.scrum.org/resources/commitment-vs-forecast

“One of the most controversial updates to the 2011 Scrum Guide has been the removal of the term “commit” in favor of “forecast” in regards to the work selected for a Sprint. We used to say that the Development Team commits to which Product Backlog Items it will deliver by the end of the Sprint. Scrum now encourages the Development Team to forecast which Product Backlog Items it will deliver by the end of the Sprint. It may seem to be a simple wording change, but in fact there are strong reasons behind it.”

Pretty sure the Scrum folks are aware of needs of enterprises and their deadline addiction.
This feels like lawsuit material.
I don’t do that and it wouldn’t be useful for me personally, but I’m just a single data point.

What's much more important for me is the underlying capabilities -- a key which supports rsa4096 is great, a key which supports curve25519 in some fashion would be incredible.
Same. I wasted more time this evening setting up octobercms behind a reverse proxy (hours, not working) than getting that server handling notifications from a VPS running many small services.
This doesn’t make sense.

Looking back a decade to try and descredit a notion about cars they build today does what exactly?

Company goals, priorities and quality change over time.
The verbosity of MathML makes it completely impractical to type as working mathematician. It’s not just a small difference; it’s completely ridiculous.
