The TL;DR of this is "work less (hours), avoid burnout."

But this prescription needs a few more paragraphs of caveats that describe the company, team, product and other factors that affect whether this strategy is viable. The simple answer is "do what works for your situation" but that's light on useful information. If you can make Agile or Agile Light or Waterfall work for your team, go ahead. If your team cannot wait 7 weeks for a production issue to be fixed because "we don't add issues to sprints" then you might not be able to work with this system.

When I saw 3 weeks on/1 week off, I was actually thinking of a sort of reverse - 3 weeks of active development with a final week of catching up on QA and bug fixes discovered in the sprint, as well as retrospectives, grooming and sprint planning (though, presumably, a dedicated product owner would get most of that work done concurrently with ongoing development.) You don't end up with an actual week off work but it is a lighter week.

The main issues I've seen with Agile were not burnout related, but simply having an incorrect or weakened team structure. Not enough testers, insufficient engagement of a product owner, overloaded manager/scrum master/architect. It kind of goes without saying that if you try to follow Agile but you omit key team members, the existing team members are then more likely to be overloaded to pick up the slack, quality will go down, and the smoothness of the sprint cycle will decrease.
Yea, at a company like Boeing. They compartmentalize the fuck out of the engineering perhaps a bit too far.
Someone at the internet archive brought this thread to my attention. You all may be interested in checking out my project. http://theoldnet.com

The original purpose of this project was to allow vintage computers (old browsers) to surf the old net using the Internet Archive's WayBack API. But most people use it on modern computers. We just passed 100,000 pages served up yesterday.

I've added a number of features to the site including a working guestbook and automatically bubbling of geocities pages to the homepage upon discovery.

Two days ago I released the Old Net Navigator web browser. It's a little buggy but mostly feature complete. You can check that out here http://theoldnet.com/browser
From my experience, Reddit is not a good platform to promote stuff if it is not entirely free (requiring email address input doesn't cut it either).

As u/idunno246 said, the people who won’t put in an email address probably wouldn’t pay either.

I would advise making another webpage without email opt-in for Reddit, and use the one with email opt-in form as default.
That was my first thought. Especially when the article says

> Starting with Postgres 10, the default is to give 2 cores to parallel processing. Switching max_parallel_workers_per_gather between 2 and 0 had nearly zero impact on that Pi, either for or against.

With that extra info I'm 99% sure it's I/O limited.
Swimmers hold their breath constantly from turns to different patterns depending on the stroke. Also in freestyle it's common to breath in through your mouth and exhale through your nose which isn't like running which is all mouth breathing.
Thanks for your reply. I apologize if I provide seemingly vague details but it's a rather small industry and I'd like to protect my identity. That being said, I only ask because I have witnessed firsthand how a project with:

* existing facilities

* already funded 50m+

* existing staff

* ironed out ideas

Were unable to get NRC clearance for a variety of things for an extended amount of time. Granted, this was an accelerator based method, not reactor-based. However, this leads me to my second point.

What kind of fuel are you planning on using for these reactors? From my understanding, the NRC has expressed interest in removing reactor-based methods for mediso generation and instead aiming for domestic accelerator-based production. Companies like North Star, Nordion, and the Mallinckrodt nuclear spinoff are aiming for similar goals and seem to have expectations aligned with mine. If it were truly as easy as getting a reactor designed, a couple million dollars, and six years, don't you think these massive DoE/DoD contractors would have done it by now? As you said yourself, the market is limited but the potential for growth is massive if we can get a stable supply.

Again, sorry for all the questions, take the time you need. I don't mean to come off as arrogant or inflammatory, just curious.

I love my Yubikey for SSH auth, but it's a complete pain in the ass that gpg-agent and OpenSSH won't play together on Windows. I and others have tried to make broker apps that let them talk with each other but to no avail thanks to libassuan's Windows "workaround" for AF_UNIX sockets.

In the end, I have to use gpg-agent's PuTTY support, which means no command-line SSH, only a separate PuTTY window when I want to do SSH sessions, and using plink for SSH auth for Git.
The UN has underpredicted African population growth for decades and they have been predicting that low fertility populations like East Asians will bounce back to replacement too. Still hasn’t happened. Getting things wrong over and over again does not qualify as an accurate prediction. Getting things wrong, over and over again, the same way each time is embarrassing.
I'm definitely interested in seeing the details. IIRC, the jack screw was found fully extended. I wonder if that's recoverable with only 1,000ft of height even using electric trim.
I agree completely.

I used to be quite active in a guitar forum. It was almost like a family - complete with crazy fights and arguments too! I bought and sold several guitars, amps, pedals, etc too. Not cheap stuff either, I would send £500+ to a random stranger and trust them to send me the guitar. That was how well the community integrated. People built up real respect, and you could rely on the fact they didn't want to lose it. That forum (probably the biggest in the UK) doesn't exist anymore.

I wouldn't even dream of having a Facebook account, nevermind participating in a community on there to that degree. I wouldn't even send £1 to a random person on Facebook!
Idk anything about movies, but the idea of packaging "talent" sounds potentially interesting for the startup space. 2-5 people "packages" that can already work well together and know what they can and can't do well.

I know I've been in circumstances where something like this would have worked really well.
“Reduced” should be “zero”. Prompts are fundamentally broken; they replace simple interactions with “STOP, answer this question NOW!” scenarios. A sensible solution would be: automatically deny by default because sites don’t really need to be asking up front! They can either give you another way (e.g. button/field) or they don’t have business querying this in the first place.

Simple example: On one site I used to just type in my zip code (easy but explicit transfer of information) and it immediately zoomed a map to my specified area. Then one day they changed it to magical location tracking; now, before I can even enter the stupid zip code (still an option and all I ever want), I get a “STOP! Share location!?!?” kind of interaction first. I have to find it, close it, then enter a zip. I had the zip code in my head and would be able to type it in a second with no delay but instead, I am distracted. Or maybe I was copying and pasting. Everything about immediate form access was efficient.

All prompts have this problem. The potential for a prompt out of the blue makes direct actions slower, and any other case where a prompt might appear is going to be an undesirable interruption telling you about things you didn’t want happening anyway. User agents should be saying No to unreasonable requests for me, like a good manager.
>Often agile "teams" have a "normalization of deviance" situation where they have to do one thing (or say they are doing one thing) so they can say they are sticking to the process, but actually do something entirely different to get the job done.

You’ve succinctly defined the problem in a very profound way. A verbal punch to the gut for sure.
In Australia we have tens of MP candidates in most electorates as well as several dozen senate party candidates with hundreds of individual senator candidates.

IRV works perfectly fine here, though in the case of the senate does result in quite wide ballot papers. But if you only have a dozen candidates it's very simple -- you have a list of names and the voter specifies what preference they have (1st, 2nd, 3rd) in the box next to their name.
Seconded. Argo is also great and makes this even easier (for $5/month).

I don't understand: how/why is service worse? The article makes it clear that service is worse, but the details on why are important.

I can come up with a number of different scenarios, with different faults and restrictions. Without knowing deeper reasons I don't know if this is a bad idea (as BNSF claims) that needs to be scrapped or a great idea that just needs to get over growing pains.
It seems slightly ironic that most HNers are agreeing social media ruined the internet while doing so on a Reddit like social media platform. I'm an oddball that quite likes social media though I'll give you it has flaws.
Good job on doing the research - let me comment as follows:

EIA publishes crude import and export figures directly, see here: https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_sum_snd_d_nus_mbblpd_m_cur....

The second line of the above reference shows crude imports at 7.25 million bbls/d and crude exports at 2.57 million, so net imports of crude oil are circa 4.7 million bbls/day. Even this surpasses India (4.5mmbbls/d) and Japan's (3.9mmbbls/d) total usage, and only China and the US itself use more. And of course the original claim that the US is a net exporter of crude oil is completely wrong.

The rest of the statistics needs to be read with caution - what EIA calls "petroleum products" is an odd bunch, ranging from ethane (gas) to petcoke (solid). Such products are not counted in production numbers of Russia and Saudi Arabia, for example, and are also, pound-for-pound, of much lesser value than crude oil. They have a disproportionate share in the US exports. High value products such as gasoline, diesel and jetfuel are consumed "at home".
Reddit uses machine learning models to maximize engagement. This ruins any of the forum-like qualities reddit had. It’s gross.

Every subreddit is constantly in the process of eternal September, which kills the dynamics of getting to know one another that were common on forums.

Social media that is good cannot have advertising and cannot be an algorithmic Skinner box that maximizes engagement.

I am starting to think of competing with Facebook as creating online tribes that are costly, perhaps even financially very costly, but full of rich directed action. Sometimes like the dynamics of a church, where users are collated into tribes of limited size.
I don't know what your Honda experience has been, but for a very competitive price you can buy an insanely reliable car that you will probably become bored with before you need to replace (so long as you change the oil regularly)

Nobody is mentioning the tax credit either..
This is a big part of it.
Tesla marketed their new lowend "$35K" Model 3 option but even that's them covering up the real price is $45k up front. Depending on where you live, you may get $5k back in tax credits the next year and then they throw on a $5k gas savings estimate bullshit which is ridiculous.
It isn't until you click the see details button in their order system that you see the true price.

That's $45k somebody has to take a loan for and pay a higher monthly payment for than the supposed "$35k after savings!". The savings are complete and utter lie. After you pay interest on that $10k extra you borrowed you lose.

If you buy the car outright in cash, sure, you'll see a savings. But that percentage of the population able to afford such a purchase is small and dwindling.
Everything about this comment is wrong. Car enthusiasts love Tesla. Check out the WSJ review of the Tesla Model 3 Performance [1];

”This thing is magnificent, a little rainbow-farting space ship, so obviously representative of the next step in the history of autos.”

Tesla’s are also very reliable, despite what CR would have you believe. Owner satisfaction is higher for Tesla than any other car, even Porsche 911 and Corvettes. CR admits that owners would not be satisfied with unreliable cars, and then ding TM3 for touchscreen glitches.

Actually, my touchscreen did freeze several times last year under the original firmware. There was an issue where the internet radio streaming would stall if LTE dropped out just as you were skipping a track. They fixed it at the end of last year and the screen hasn’t stalled even once since that OTA update.

My TM3 literally just got 5% faster due to an OTA update this week, because Tesla decided they had too much margin in their motor design.

Finally, the TCO of a RWD standard range Model 3 is lower than a Honda Accord. These cars have a bad reputation for being expensive. My friends ask me how I could possibly afford a car that will ultimately cost less than a $35k ICE vehicle.

I never have any issue with my knees. I’ve been running 12 miles a week for over 4 years now. I’m not a fast runner either, average about 9.5 minute mile. I find that pace keep me going and can relax when I run. The pain on top of the ankle recently creeps up to me. I think it is related to how I tie my laces. If I loosen them a bit it feels a lot better. I will go to a runner store to have them pick my next shoes.
>When the vaccination programme began, researchers thought that the vaccine would knock out two types of HPV, which cause 80% of pre-cancerous conditions.

>Instead, they have found it knocks out another three types as well, which means it eliminates nearer 90% of cervical pre-cancer in Scotland.

This is the real story. Everyone knew there would be a "dramatic drop"
looks like whoops http://filp.github.io/whoops/
Ok from what I can see Stockfish still rules? Is that right?
Ah, when the linked article suggested developers go "surfing" I thought it meant in the sea, not the web.
The question is: did they only count someone as a runner if they were still a runner at the end of 18 years? Or if someone was running for 1 year, got injured and then quit running, did they get dropped from the study or even grouped with the non-runners?
There are enough resources on earth and beyond. The main issue we have here on earth is the waste of resources, the main one being the human potential.
The confrontations were always there - the two sides were engaged in regular confrontations for years. If anything the journalist tries to defuse it at one point by pulling the "I'm with the press" card, and eventually sets up a non-confrontation reminisce between the two old men of the old sides.
Eliminating the replacement character is a function of glyph coverage in fonts, not of UTF-8 use.
A tangent to this is the recent fallout from the Bones -- Hulu case.

In that case, the guy representing Fox and Bones was also the guy representing Hulu. So he sold the rights for $0.

He literally signed both party lines on the streaming rights contract. And thought he'd get away with it.

Looking back at a panel of experts from, say, one hundred years ago, would we discard all of the input from each person who held now-recognized false beliefs?
You are why people hate turntablists. You gatekeep the “DJ” craft with your one true way and worship Jazzy Jeff, and look down on everyone who’s not standing between two 1200s, despite most of your kin moving onto DVS or other emulation anyway.

You keep sitting on HN and talking about that one time you opened for DMC and shitting on a techno DJ who does nothing like what you do, and we will keep producing creative experiences in OUR format using the same equipment you do in different ways.

This is like working on a riced-out sleeper Civic versus building a rally WRX. Yeah, we both use socket wrenches, but the cars are built entirely differently. I wouldn’t come over to your garage and lecture you about suspension travel, and you wouldn’t come to my garage to lecture me about whatever it is Civic dragsters care about (turbo pressure?). There are similarities. There are differences.

Your craft is fading into irrelevance. You shouldn’t be gatekeeping kids who click with Live just because something worked for you. Techno and turntablism are dramatically different styles. Extol the virtues of doing it your way and respect that there are others. Last time I stood behind Daft Punk while they worked (swing-a-ling), they were not working the way you think they are, by the way, so you might want to check your examples.

This might surprise you, but 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’m there for the music, not how fast I can crab walk a cross. I recognize turntablists view their self promotion differently and make the evening about them, which is why technical skill on the deck matters. I welcome trainspotters in my booth so they can see how easy it is to express themselves creatively and give their friends a good time. It’s just a way more positive vibe than... whatever it is you’re doing here.
> I worked at a place where we had a timebox of 2 hours for planning but really after that we were nowhere near a realistic plan for the sprint and it would take another 2 or 3 days of knock-down, drag-out meetings that would leave us all exhausted to understand what we had to do.

Wow! Sounds like decision-making processes needed tweaking even aside from Agile practice.
> "The whole 'liking' and 'sharing' model is just garbage. There is no effort and no quality control. In fact, it's all geared to the reverse of quality control, with lowest common denominator targets, and click-bait, and things designed to generate an emotional response, often one of moral outrage," he said.

This is the crux of the issue IMO. Once it was possible to gain "fame" via Twitter/FB/IG, it was game over. People become incentivized to maximize their likes and followers instead of having conversations. A big following can get you anything from a distribution deal with a fly-by-night supplements company, all the way to a book deal and appearances on Oprah or Comedy Central.

On old-school forums/message boards, you had a community based on a specific shared interest, so people weren't completely anonymous strangers and weren't posting to lobby for attention among the broader community.
Troy tells you that someone, somewhere, used that same password and it was cracked.

Google tells you that your username password combination specifically was cracked.

One is a yellow caution flag. The other is a 3 alarm fire. Both are useful!
A few days ago there was a discussion in another thread about whether there were any practical uses for blockchain and someone mentioned eBooks & other digital content. An author/creator could upload the content and then the "right" to access it could be bought, sold, rented, gifted, loaned, etc.

I don't know enough about blockchain to know whether that's actually feasible but it was the first proposed use I've come across that seemed like it might actually have potential.

I suspect there's a disconnect between "people succeed because of their network" vs "I succeeded because of my network". I fall into that trap sometimes, and I have to remind myself I got my first dev gig because someone I'd known for a long time convinced his company to take a risk on me.
Thanks for mentioning that, this is something I often wonder about, as this is at least often left out of the press. I don't know how/if the underlying research accounts for it, but I'd be very happy if such statistical complications were mentioned more often to show hard it is to get the science right.
Breath control drills (i.e. "breathe once this lap" or "breathe every fourth stroke") are also standard for competitive swimmers.

This study looked at top competitive athletes, who might be pursuing a different strategy than masters swimmers.
Maybe try ellipticals instead of swimming if you are bored of running? They should be easy on the knees.
"Morally right thing"...
So you think it'd be immoral for you to pay a tiny bit more taxes to contribute to someone besides "you and your family" having a (better) life or simply not dying of a horrible disease?
And what about "you and your family" get into a lot of health troubles at the same time (which I wish will never happen)...would it be immoral to have people from your country help you recover?
I think the collectivist culture of Europe is what makes us better societies than the US. Because while you might say it every Sunday morning but do nothing about it, we actually help and protect the weaks and less fortunates and contribute to improve society in general and not just "you and your family".
It was always 75%. The choice is: predictably over time, or when burnout occurs & all at once (for each engineer.)

C-bro wants predictability.
That's why they wear the tinfoil hats.
Thanks for having the grace of changing your mind.

And you weren’t entirely incorrect: my assertion in the top post in is thread that Boeing was working on blaming the pilots was based on something I remember reading in either the NYT or Atlantic. But that article was very explicitly saying that it was narrative being pushed by Boeing.
It's a quick, crappy, cut-and-paste, article based on a recent interview with him. It's a complete trash article - standard for internet news now.
TL;DL

Ignore all existing literature and experts' previous experience.

Simple.
I agree. The team (which includes developers) should be the ones pulling issues into the sprint. Leads and stakeholders can prioritize on their own, but again developers need some say in that process because technical issues my drive some prioritization.

I get the concept, but a week off seems a bit extreme and a hard sell. The team should already be working in some slack time in the sprint. The reason for slack time is that it gives a bit of a cushion if something runs over, and it keeps people from burning out. The other big upside for those on the outside is it helps build confidence that when a ticket is pulled into a sprint it almost always get completed.
"type", "array", and "Natural" are all specialized computer science or mathematical terms. "My_Arr" is just as mysterious as the rest of them and unless you're familiar with variable binding, you'll just lump that symbol in with the rest of them (some unknown sigil of magical power). I suspect most people will have a good idea of what "is" is and of what "of" is. I bet most people would also understand ranges, so 1..10 is probably fine as well.

So, what your first line should be if we were really spelling things out:

classification definition named: "My_Arr" is: "list (1..10)" which will contain: "numbers zero and greater but without decimals"

But you aren't spelling things out. You're using specialized terms to reduce the amount of typing you have to do because the terms in question happen to come up frequently. Welcome to the club.
