Post Mortem on the Demise of CloudFoundry
Since you seem to actually know what you are talking about, what do you think about nuclear power?

I am pro-nuclear myself but that's mostly because I think it is cool rather than for rational reasons. The problem is that I have a lot of trouble finding reliable data. What I have gathered so far is:

- The capital costs are ridiculously expensive.

- Decomissionning is also ridiculously expensive, and so is maintaining older reactors.

- Fuel is cheap and plentyful.

- The ecological footprint is low, possibly the lowest, except when it goes boom.

- Waste management is an overblown problem.

- It is great for base load (very high capacity factor), not economically viable otherwise.

- Doesn't play well with wind and solar for the previous reason.
Famous 1992 newsgroup argument between Andy Tanenbaum and Linus Torvalds
> I'm gay and I know for a fact that gay people aren't inherently unfit to be parents

I agree, but suppose for the sake of argument that having gay parents caused some developmental or social difficulties that didn't happen with heterosexual parents. That's not inconceivable is it? But if researchers were all operating in a pro-gay echo chamber, they would almost certainly never discover this, at least not for quite some time.

You might even need people who actively fight against gay rights to find some nook, some crack in existing research to force the research to be more thorough and robust. And that would be valuable to you as a gay parent, would it not?

So even if you detest such researchers, and they detest you as a gay person, isn't their contribution in the overall scientific process still pretty valuable to you?
> Going to a restaurant paying 12 Euros and getting 700 calories of carbs was awful

That's a strange and out of context example. I live in one of the more expensive European cities and for 12E still get to eat a pound of meat in a restaurant. Of course it will always depend on what you order and which restaurant. But your comparison is like saying the average rent in the US is $3000/mo (which it actually is, is some parts).

Let's break down your reasons one by one.

* it allows me to directly reach out to users

What if I don't want to be contacted? You can add a "news" category to your website (or a subtle "what's new" link in your app's GUI) for people who do want news.

* provide them with on-boarding emails/updates

What if I don't want that, again? If I need help on-boarding I'll read the documentation or email you myself.

* build a mailing list of people interested in keystroke automation

How does that benefit me, as a user?

Bottom line is, you should be converting people by producing great software, not filling up their mailbox with crap. If your software doesn't convert, then email spam won't either.

Also, your current download form includes a "I am happy to be contacted by email" checkbox. If you're happy with people to opt-out, why are you asking for their email at all?

Finally you are using a third-party provider for emails and I'm not really comfortable with that and I do not agree to their privacy policy (I hate emails full of nasty stalking links and 1x1 pixels), so even if I wanted to receive news about your software, this would put me off.
That's a good idea. Consulting firms have really overcomplicated Agile a lot. I've been displeased to meet bloated implementations these last years.

My only point is that, at least in the companies I've worked for so far, a practical Agile implementation must provide some device for making a "pressure" over the team to avoid too many items ending up carried to next sprint.

Of course there are lots of legitimate situations where an item doesn't fit in the sprint and this should be acknowledged, providing inputs for the estimation of the next sprint and making those estimations more accurate. However, in my opinion, it should also be clear to everyone that those slippages have consequences and everybody should be employing their best efforts.

I don't consider this a deficiency in the article though, since Agile in itself seems to be optimistic about teams by its very nature.

I believe this is going to get me some downvotes, but this is unfortunately the reality I live in and if I were going to devise an Agile implementation for my team I would take this into account.

Ableton is actually worse at beatmatching than the human ear. A trained human can easily recognize a shift of 11ms, which is a fraction of a BPM [0]. Beat matching algorithms are not as good or reliable, leading to "thick" beats where the two tracks aren't quite aligned, causing weird audio artifacts.

Of course, if you never learn to beatmatch by ear (and never learn to drum), you probably won't develop the skill, leading you to think the mix is right on while educated listeners are cringing.

Effects and filters only sound good if the underlying mix is great. Effects and filters are widely overused... Just like in Photoshop. Better just to start with fundamentally good art, it will need less additions.

[0]: At 130bpm, a tenth of a beat is 46ms, so if both tracks are auto-beatmatched to one-tenth of a beat precision (130.0) as is the typical accuracy claim of every major dj tool, it's still 4x less accurate than the human ear. (1000ms * 60s)/(130bpm * 10)

While you just go, build it and ask questions later... which is an amazing fearless mindset which allowed you to accomplish incredible thing but which also leads to Facebook fucking up all over the world, Amazon treating their employees like slaves, or Boeing killing 350+ people because a 2nd safety system is too expensive.

I strongly disagree with your points. Building a trusted group of peers is the most valuable action you can take in establishing a network. I don't dispute the value of mentors and high-ranking friends, I know many people who can attribute a large part of their success to the right person in the right position.

However, a group of peers provides the following benefits:

* support and camaraderie, as you are likely facing the same challenges at the same times

* a more natural connection and more conducive environment for meeting and regularly interacting

* a rising tide that raises the whole group, as you help each other gain more success

Finally, I would say that your idea comes dangerously close to the idea of "kissing up and kicking down," which I personally find to be an unfortunate and disingenuous style of network management that discourages me from working with that person.
> Issues may not be added to the sprint

I don't see this happening, even if that's a good rule, because issues come up that take higher priority than existing issues.
none of that makes a car superior. true that performance matters, but only up to a point, then it's interior space and organization, build quality, comfort, accessibility and why not boot space.
Telling your developers to bugger off for 1 week every month will never work out. They still need to be at the office, but they can pursue learning, help with planning (this is critical), or focus on other development tasks they actually want to make.
I think the primary problem here is the rural-urban migration; people the world over are moving from villages and small towns to large cities for work and other opportunities. This is a truly global phenomenon with the share of people living in cities rising from 55% in 2018 to a projected 68% in 2050. [0]

Housing and transportation policies are secondary in that they have failed to adequately address this first problem.

The solution is entirely new cities built to meet the demands of the twenty-first century.

And it's interesting how many people paint it as showing that it simply didn't decrease the likelihood. One would think that before handing out actual free money, a benefit out to be shown (not just an absence of harm or loss).

Many say that it made people happier, but since when has it been the job of the government to guarantee happiness?

We would do well to remember that many politicians simply use this as a way to get elected. It strikes me as buying votes, writ large.
While these bad experiences reflect poorly on Tesla and shouldn't happen, I don't think they are normal.

Yes - but - folks from those professions are still going to enjoy a much nicer life in Europe than in the States. I'm referring to NHS, job security, unemployment insurance, retirement and availability of pass time activities even in remoter areas.

> One thing I love about America is that people still get shit done here.

I mean is that a pun or just a Freudian slip - b/c with regard to 90% of SV's output this choice of words is fitting well.

Also a modern interpretation of civilized society is embracing a life not centered around productivity.

> One reason that Europe has very few innovative new companies created in the last 25 years is that everyone is at the coffee shop writing poetry.

That statement is wrong on both ends. European companies - especially those coming from central and northern Europe - are also just not as loud and attention craving as the usual fund driven start ups from the States. Also few people are writing poetry here.

I don't understand the logic here, how is "not wanting to receive spam" related with "willing to pay for software"? If anything I'd say it would be the opposite - someone who doesn't want to deal with spam is often busy and/or values their time and would be more willing to pay for software that saves them time.

> visibility (as noted by angrygoat) and browseability is terrible

Great point. I picked up The Linux Programming Interface from a Humble Bundle, knowing nothing about it, and my first impression was "This is a terrible book: very dry and not engaging." My manager mentioned it was excellent, though, so I actually picked up a hard copy, and then I saw what was going on: it's a Linux textbook, not the kind of programming book you'd really read from cover to cover.

I know this story sort of shows my cluelessness a little, but it also shows how having the ten-pound tome on my desk gave me insights into how the book was meant to be interacted with, that the ebook didn't.
I started building "real" firmware for my raspi appliances using buildroot. That makes it super easy to build images that completely run from initramfs without a single write on the sd card (and are fully booted in a few seconds including userland).

Only works if I don't need any local persistence but makes the Pi just work super reliably. Upgrading is as easy as swapping the Linux Kernel image on the fat32 and rebooting.

Once in college I got an email from (I think) ecrush.com, saying "someone has a crush on you", and on the site you could enter email addresses of people you had crushes on and it would spam them that same thing, anonymous until there was a match. (Personally, I suspect it was bootstrapping by sending fake initial "someone has a crush on you" emails to scraped emails, but I didn't dig in too deep.)

Guy Debord used "images" as a metaphor but with Instagram it's not even a metaphor anymore.

> The spectacle is not a collection of images, but a social relation among people, mediated by images.

> The celebrity, the spectacular representation of a living human being, embodies this banality by embodying the image of a possible role.
Celebrities exist to act out various styles of living and viewing society unfettered .... They embody the inaccessible result of social labor by dramatizing its by-products magically projected above it as its goal: power and vacations, decision and consumption.

> Where the real world changes into simple images, the simple images become real beings and effective motivations of hypnotic behavior. The spectacle [...] naturally finds vision to be the privileged human sense which the sense of touch was for other epochs; the most abstract, the most mystifiable sense corresponds to the generalized abstraction of present-day society. It is the opposite of dialogue.

The original comment you were replying to referenced Boeing's smear of the pilots, not Lion Air the company. The pilots would have no knowledge of the first two items on your list (the ones I did not address, as they weren't relevant to the comment you were replying to).

You're absolutely correct that Lion Air might have had the opportunity to prevent Boeing's design failure from bringing down this plane (this time). That still leaves the biggest share of the blame squarely in Boeing's lap.
Even if I accept your claim, the parent was suggesting getting rid of the algorithm and just letting it be human driven. Human driven means most shared is what gets most seen. How is that different than the current algorithm? It doesn’t change anything. That’s my point.

However, this shows that the root problem really is human. You can tell because you are suggesting designing an algorithm to fix a pre-existing problem. Without algorithms of any sort, this problem is there.

I don’t think it can be solved by algorithm.
Exceptions can be documented just as well, and you have the same choice whether the error propagates upstream, only the default is different.
