It's why "networking" often gets a bad rep. So many of these events are, as you say, people passing out business cards looking for consulting ops, a job, etc. By contrast, socializing, participating in various activities, staying in touch with former colleagues, and so forth is very valuable. Personally, every job I've had since the first post-graduation one has been through someone I knew. None were jobs I "applied for."

I have a Kobo. Every book I've bought from there has DRM.
I would not suggest a full week off, a lot of people would not have anything to do in 1 week every 2 other weeks.

Instead give everyone an extra day off, a 3 day long weekend. It's easier to have a recurring appointment that way, like exercise or take a theater class or whatever.

I've been working 4 days a week for the past 3 years and I'm not going back to 40h/week.
Scrum is a framework to achieve "agility" and people forget that. The point is agility, not scrum.
This.

That is why the retrospective meeting is at the heart of agile. A truly "agile light" setup would be:

Every other week, do a retrospective.

That's it!

On the retro, ask yourself 3 questions (or work with these 3 themes):

1. Is the way we are working helping us, and the rest of the organization, make the right decisions and reach our goals in an efficient way? If not, what needs to change?

2. Is our understanding of the customer (or whatever system we are trying to improve) correct or are we basing our decisions on the wrong assumptions? If so, what do we need to learn?

3. Do we have a clear picture of where we are going and what we want to achieve and how that is aligned with the goals of the organization? If not, how do we course correct or make our progress towards our goals clearer?

There you have it: the retrospective and the 3 dimensions of agile.
I'm not sure if this is topic or not, but I saw pretty much most of the people on that list in a convention centre in Amsterdam for my 21st birthday. There were 25,000 people in attendance and it was so big that there was a full-sized fairground ride that you couldn't see it from one end of the hall to another.

It was so big that the teeny tiny Jeff Mills couldn't really be seen behind the 8 decks he was using (I mean seriously, 8 decks.. who does that?).

That was 20 years ago this year, and other than Orbital live it is still probably one of the best electronic music nights I've ever been to. And considering I grew up in Manchester in the 1990s, I've been to a lot of Techno nights!

Anyone enjoys the list you've posted (which is very excellent by the way, we should totally be BFFs!), might also enjoy Dave Clark, the Baron of Techno and for something a little bit more on the bouncy house side there is also the giant Carl Cox.

I'm listening to Changes Of Life[1] full volume right now, I've literally got goosebumps.

I noticed that as well. That'll be pushed back against, and the leadership is going to decided that they must respond to SOME issues to appear responsive, and let's be honest, it's going to have to happen regardless of project ideology. There'll be some silly rule put in place that only priority "X" issues get looked at mid sprint, and suddenly every issue is going to be priority "X", and now someone gets to spend the time they would have spent fixing the issue going "Ok, is this really a priority 'X' issue?" and fighting with whoever raised it.
I’m not sure I’d associate gluttony with opportunity, but to each their own I guess.
Hardly a word on the type of runners? Typical track and field running disciplines are a very different load than marathon or longer and the training cannot be compared at all. The same question would apply to swimming, if there were truly established long distance disciplines outside of triathlon (but even there, the swimming part takes only a fraction of the time of the others).
> if people leave one of my venues feeling good and have absolutely no recollection of who I am, I still count that as a victory.

I always thought of party promotion and djing as a single holistic art form and that the crowd was actually the creative product and not the music and the lights or anything else. At the end of the day, you're building a community and want people leaving saying they just had the best night of their life, and music is only a part of it.

I don't see how bringing the activist into a bar full of hunters and then announcing that you're his protector is anything like trying to diffuse conflict.

It's not enough anymore because many people are just learning about how widely their data is shared around.

For example, most people that use a loyalty card at their grocery store has no idea that what they buy is being sold to Facebook. People have just discovered that Facebook is tracking them even if they have never had a Facebook account and never consented to anything from Facebook. Same goes for Four Square. Not many people have a Four Square account yet Four Square has built a giant location data empire. MasterCard is trading your purchase data. The list of examples like this is long.

There needs to be some regulation around the ownership and use of information by and about individuals. I don't have a relationship with Four Square so they shouldn't be allowed to hold any data about me.
The message of American conservatism is, "I've got mine, go get yours". Meanwhile the gots are pulling up the ladder behind them wherever they can.

This message tends to resonate with people with little empathy and imagination. They can only see their own experience and find it impossible to imagine another's could be different. Basically, these people are kind of dumb. They don't notice the ladder being pulled away and can't imagine a better way.

Unfortunately, these amount to a good 30% of Americans. Maybe those people were winnowed away during WW1/WW2 in europe, or maybe the way America was settled self selected for optimistic, unimaginative people with narrow vision.
Distance swimmers don't really hold their breath, but sprinters certainly do. I was a state champion sprinter, and when I would swim the 50 freestyle I only breathed once, usually a few strokes after the turn. For the 100 freestyle it was one breath per lap, and this is crucial because in a sprint anytime you breathe you are slowing yourself down.
I can't find a reference to what parser python uses internally, but if it does at least one token lookahead, wouldn't you be able to disambiguate special syntax from any standard expression since the former allows tokens separated by only a space and the latter doesn't? e.g. afaik `match some_call():` is a syntax error, so you don't need to worry about match being a legal identifier.

I daresay another issue is going to be the syntax -- the naïve way of implementing it nests two blocks: one for the pattern-matched block as a whole, and and another for the actual cases, which means that now you've got a double indent. IIRC this was a reason he gave against implementing case statements way back when.

There is one construct that's almost like a block but doesn't indent code, decorators. It's rich enough to implement multiple dispatch in functions, including pattern-matching on values and not just on types. Unfortunately it won't get you the sort of things you could do with actual blocks, e.g. access to other variables.

> If criticals in production are a regular part of your life, then you're doing something wrong as an organization.

I believe that may be slightly idealistic - a test case doesn't get covered by the stakeholders and suddenly once the solution is in, it suddenly pops up its ugly head. It takes a ton of self-awareness and resources for a project to know its every use before it gets to the end user.
Everyone has their own vision of what agile and/or scrum should be. Every company, manager and developer has their own special and unique recipe. There are as many flavours and variants as there are rules for playing a game of pool across the world.

Personally my main takeaway from the whole agile world is "people over process".

Sort out your communication, trust, and how you work together first. Then start looking at whether you want to work with agile, XP, scrum, kanban or some other recipe.

It reminds me of this research [0] showing that sons of wealthy slave owners (who presumably lost a large chunk of their "wealth" after the civil war) had caught up or surpassed sons from similarly wealthy households by 1880.

Conclusion: "This paper adds another data point to our understanding of intergenerational wealth transmission. Our conclusion: it’s not the resources here, it’s the social connections."

Wait, do consultants do actual work instead of just giving advice? (Serious question.) I always thought consulting is just looking at the existing/planned processes and products and saying “You should do X using best practice Y. Here are the details of my deep knowledge.”

In contrast, I thought anyone actually working on processes or products but not being an employee is a contractor. If anyone can enlighten me, I’d be glad. I always wondered what consultants do.
> DMC is an entirely difference scene where "turntablism" is more of a thing so I can see why you might argue the case for learning to beat mix but those arguments don't apply to techno.

I started mixing and continue to do it to this day. It's important for anyone who is djing.

> You cannot get creative with beat matching. The process of beat matching is literally just quantising two tracks together. Everything else beyond that is "mixing" - which is where the creative process happens. But that is not "beat matching".

Sure, I'll give you that

> All DJing is just playing other peoples records. You're not up there with a guitar ffs. So it doesn't matter if it's an vinyl or an MP3 - that's just a technical detail. What actually matters is how you mix those records, not beat match them.

Technical detail is what this discussion is about. I never use the term "beat matching" because it's kind of been all in one for me. However, "beat matching" does matter. You're telling me that train wrecking is okay as long as it's mixed good.

> You do realise you just argued that "The audience will physically touch your vinyl if you're a good DJ" - a statement which suggests you throw sharp plastic objects into the crowd. Clearly you wouldn't do this - which means you should probably go back and re-read what I'd written ;)

> Tesla marketed their new lowend "$35K" Model 3 option but even that's them covering up the real price is $45k up front.

Network with people that look like/conform to the majority power in your market. They have the same background as other people that are decision makers in that market.

Getting married to one country's politically struggling groups or disenfranchisement issues is playing a totally different game, and is a total waste of time for this game.

I do this in a lot of markets. Almost country by country when necessary. Work with someone that looks like money in that market. Go to the places they are. Don't masquerade your pride of being the front person of your company as 'progress' that society let you get that far just to inspire 4 year olds, unless that is honestly the game you are trying to play.

Although my own background and success would probably inspire people "that look like me", alongside the general distribution of wealth and status seekers
Tesla shares sink as car deliveries drop
You are right. The problem is that it is not perception of luxury car buyer. First of all Tesla does not have luxury car design, interior does not look as flashy as the one from competition.

In addition someone who typically buys top Mercedes model that uses 15 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers every 3 years, buys new iPhone every two years, flyes 5 times a year to spend holidays in a beautiful but distant locations simple does not give a crap about climate changes. That is obviously such person is very pro-eco and wants to fight climate changes (verbally) and even donates some anti global warming foundation and advocates strict CO emission regulations (especially in developing countries) but the last thing such person would do is to restrict its own consumption.
> It's just a better experience.

That's rather subjective which is why I left most of this stuff out. Some people really like reading on a kindle or iPad, I don't particularly (the Kindle is "OK").

> Ebooks are lighter than their equivalent books

It depends on the book TBH. A lot will be heavier, many won't. The book I'm currently reading ("Medium Raw" by Anthony Bourdain) is 49g heavier than a kindle (the cheapest in the UK), which for me is effectively the same as 0g in terms of wether I will notice.

I am a relatively strong man, throwing a book or two into my bag doesn't make a difference to me.

Of course, if I were to carry my entire library around that would be a significantly different story :) But then I just pick books I want to read and take them, and if I change my mind later I do something else.

> easy to use one-handed

Never had a problem with this.

> fonts can be adjusted

Never wanted to do this.

> you can search within a book

I rarely want to do this, so it's not a particularly big deal when I can't.

> you have access with wifi to your entire library at any point in time without having to fill up a cramped apartment

I mentioned in another comment, I am lucky in that I don't have that issue where I live. The balance might be altered if I lived in a small Tokyo apartment (for instance) however.

> The objections that you give (1-4) are the ones that are fixable by hoisting the Jolly Roger.

I can buy ebooks and strip the DRM if I want, I tried it (on ebooks I legitimately bought) so I could make sure I always had the book. It was a PITA and didn't (for me) swing the pendulum enough to choose ebooks.

> and even landmines with not a single gap

Really? Are you talking about the landmines in Croatia that weren't fully cleared after the 1990s Balkan war? People were actually providing maps with the approximate locations of the fields so they can be safely bypassed.

You make it sound like Europe is planting mines to keep migrants out. If the reaction of a small minority of European countries (2-3) seems exaggerated when faced with over 1 million (!) immigrants, then the fact that over 7000 people [0] were killed at the US-Mexico border just over the past 20 years should really shock you to the core.

Definitely, it is my subjective experience but what I can say is that lot of high skilled immigrants here in Denmark don't feel welcome [0]. Whereas, in the USA, we were really proud to be there and contribute to the society and eventually become permanent resident / citizen.

Legislation in the USA varies a lot, unless we talk about immigration. Which in my case here in EU, as spouse of EU citizen, is also being scrutinized by politicians here in Denmark [0].

What would you buy (that you don't now) if the price were reduced by half?
As others have noted, I think it's important to note the difference between Agile and Scrum. Agile is a mindset, Scrum is a framework that encapsulates a lot of Agile tenants. The ideas of a sprint or backlog or cards are purely Scrum. Agile says nothing about using these items to satisfy customers (the highest priority per the Agile Manifesto). That said, Agile principles intentionally include a note about promoting sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.

TL;DR So long as you are constantly mindful of Agile tenants, there's already built in awareness around burnout and sustainable practices.
