Freedom of speech is not the same as the 1st Amendment.

You're talking about the latter, which is a constitutional right protected by the government. What people are talking about here is the concept of unrestricted speech, which is a much broader ideal, necessary for a healthy society, and is definitely under ever-increasing pressure as the world moves towards entirely different communication mediums. When most conversation moves online, the lack of public open spaces in that digital environment is a valid cause for concern and definitely deserves discussion.
I don't want to pretend quake or other games I like don't have that, for example dueling in quake required memorization of maps and such, it's closer to a spectrum (or a linear combination of the skills) but the speedrun type of games, especially skill platformers like Celeste for example really lean heavily on the other aspect of play. Others have pointed out other games like fortnite have this more improvision emphasis which I didn't know because I haven't played it, so may be it isn't as bad as I feel it is as of late, I might just not be playing the right games.
> How does the first line of the Agile Manifesto begin?

It is kinda funny. For me the first line has always been:

> Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

And when I am asked to explain Agile, that is always at the core of my message. Form a team, let them do their work and start learning how they can improve how they do it.

From my perspective, the primary role of a (software development) Project Manager/Scrum Master is to create an environment where the team can optimize itself while not drifting into personal conflicts (create a healthy environment for collaboration and feedback). Everything else, like planning/risk management/change management/stakeholder management/reporting/presenting come afterward.

Those other things are important too (and should not be skipped completely), but if the team doesn't work, most of the other tasks create little value.
There would be no way to do reporting on any of the devices in the field without some form of network connection. This delays response time if, for example, a recloser failed to operate, nobody would be aware unless someone physically checked the device. With networked SCADA systems, this becomes an immediate notification to the control room.

I'm a fan of manual systems, but within reason though. The point is, you're never going to be 100% protected. People can still break into substations and compromise the grid rather easily.
The answer to disrespect isn't "make it a crime." A crime is a serious matter. Few things should be crimes.
It's a tough nut to crack. Think about fields like architecture and engineering, where the historical knowledge is well over three thousand years. Yet they still have failures, go over estimates, and generally suffer the same issues that we do, but at much greater costs.

People need to get over the reality that One Country Two Systems was meant to be a transition, not a permanent condition. Legally.

Why is ampere a base unit instead of charge? Charge seems the more fundamental one to me, like mass is, and ampere feels more derived, as if volumetric flow rate were made a base unit instead of mass.

Funfact: US customary units are metric by definition. Everything is in grams and meters and liters, it’s just using weird numbers so it roughly fits with customary units roundedly.

To be fair, thats something that happens all the time in "normal engineering". While the field itself is much better understand (mostly because aside of record beating sky scrappers, its usually within the same problem space), not everyone knows everything.

For a more down to earth example, if I ask my carpenter to scope out a bathroom remodel, the first thing he's going to do is call a plumber to take a look. The carpenter's not going to be able to give an answer on the plumbing themselves, but they sure as hell can say "Im going to ask someone and get back to you on it".

As a software engineer, I have a network of connections I can reach out to if I'm asked about a problem completely out of my space, and you'd be hard pressed to ask about something that no one in my team knows or has a connection to someone who knows. Definitely won't get the answer today or even tomorrow, but we can get SOME information.

It's a mixed bag. The speedrunning community is pretty diverse in terms of age, though it does skew younger (not a lot of boomers) and tends to be males from upper income countries, though there are MANY exceptions.

A good person to watch for overviews of the speedrunning community is SummoningSalt on Youtube.

Here is a good video on the speedrunning of 1987's "Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!" on the NES while blindfolded, an incredible feat for humans regardless of the medium: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZT6JEOC3D8

Here is a good video on the speedrunning of 1999's 'PokeMon Snap' for the N64, a game thought impossible to speedrun early on. Nonetheless, it has been speedran: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYcWQP1tWfQ

In general, the community is non-normal and seems a bit, well, pointless, to a lot of others. But it's something that a lot of people enjoy doing to some degree or another and like everything else on the internet there is a thriving fanbase.
I seriously had no other way to frame it than putting on a moment, because although I can like it, I can't RT or link directly.
Yup this is what I always tell people – in the US, all science is taught in Metric. (at least in my schooling in the DC area). All physics, chemistry, etc units were in metric. So where it truly makes a difference, it seems to all be metric.

That's why I'm always surprised when I read a story about some scientific endeavor in the US that didn't use metric.

Only commenting on this because "unknown" feels a bit off, especially in the context of greatest human achievements.

Much of the Polynesian Triangle and Indian Ocean trade routes were established hundreds and in some areas thousands of years prior to Magellan. Tierra del Fuego (Straight of Magellan) had been inhabited by nomadic seafarers for thousands of years. Magellan's personal circumnavigation requires including his previous voyages to the Malay peninsula via India.

Circumnavigation a mere ~30 years after Portugal first reached the Cape of Good Hope is extraordinary. Full stop.

But tweaking perspective shows how reaching the Indian Ocean pulled back the curtain on an already developed world, where interconnected maritime trade included both China and Mozambique. The 1300s scholar Ibn Battuta of Tangier visited Beijing, Timbuktu, Singapore, Kenya, and Constantinople within 30 years. Technology and motivations unique to Europeans stitched together routes across the world and did it in a way that enabled others to quickly follow, but there were precious few places visited that someone else didn't already traverse and call home.
Thanks for sharing! Curious to learn more about this. Have you posted it in the HTM discourse forum? I would be interested in what the community thinks of it!
>Energy consumption doesn't matter as much if we can get it from things other than fossil fuel. EVs make that a lot easier.

Yeah it does. Renewables take up tons of acreage and nuclear has issues with waste management, sourcing of raw materials (for developing countries), and being able to adjust to scale with variable power consumption.
I think you’re casting too dark a shade on my comment. Independent new publications like the BBC, NPR, New York Times, etc. will always be in discussion with - and often reliant on information provided by - politicians on world events. It’s part of the process of news making.
Broken, but very very common, IME. All of the agile-phile places that I have had the misfortune to interact with had things like sprint commitments, and etc. Very abusive and quite the opposite of 'people over process'.
Glad that is a deprecated formulation. One never has collection of photons of exact frequency of net mass 1kg. Also 1kg weight can't be realistically entirely turned into photons.

Hello there!
I assume you're referring to IP ownership issues between participants of the program, but please correct me if I'm mistaken.

Finding potential co-founders is hard, hopefully Sidepact makes that process easier.
If you find somebody to team up with, having open conversations early in the relationship and establishing ownership stakes for each team member is key.
We know each team has a different makeup and unique formation.
So I'm glad they fixed the problems of depending on kilogram sample object for anything, but the definitions are now bizarre if you want to learn them in reference to real-world things. How will they be taught now?

The Ampere went from being the thought experiment of two infinite wires 1m apart creating a certain force to being something nearly unintelligible to the average person.

The Kelvin was just turning 0C into absolute units, carefully formalized as the triple point of water which was actually 0.01C, and making it into absolute units. Now its something nearly intelligible to the public.

Another problem is I'm not entirely sure the atomic mass is quite defined anymore. That number at the bottom of each box of the periodic table of elements may not have a valid unit anymore??

> Even bad estimates are better than no estimates.

No estimate is clearly better. Here's a common story I've seen across multiple companies.

1. Marketing management asks Engineering management how long it takes to do feature X so they know when to launch the online ad campaign.

2. Engineering management then asks potentially good coder how long it will take. Coder replies with a time and "it's just an estimate."

3. Engineering management reports to Marketing that coder's estimate leaving off the most important caveat, and Marketing treats that as the gospel truth.

4. Coder takes longer than expected because of some bad technical cruft that some other engineer put in because he was potentially rushed or just plain inept.

5. Marketing is pissed because they now have to withdraw the ad campaign, and starts blaming engineering.

6. Under increased scrutiny, Engineering gets a bad reputation, who then throws the coder under the bus in front of Marketing and other managers.

7. This shows up on the coder's annual review who then leaves.

8. Engineering hires replacement which will have a 3-6 month learning cycle, and potentially writes worse code than the person that just left.

EDIT: The point is that if there's no estimate, management has to deal with the uncertainty that the coder experiences. Hope for the best, plan for the worst.
Probably not. You can certainly mitigate the worst of them though. That a totally flat organization is terrible doesn't imply that tall hierarchy is good.
Estimates are like the cones of uncertainty NOAA publishes during hurricane season. A simple task I have done before is at the bottom of the cone.

Possible complexity and unknowns push my estimates further out the cone. Less than a year, but more than 3 months is my standard answer for those random 'how long will this feature take' that I only have a vague idea about [0]. I then follow up asking if they would like to schedule a few weeks of research to close the cone a bit.

The point is that you have to manage the person asking for the estimate. Teach them that unknowns means something could take a day or a month.

I've only had one person really be a jerk about it, and my response was to make the estimate whatever they wanted. If they were not going to listen to me, then there was no point in giving an estimate at all. That response was from my younger, smart ass self though YMMV.

[0] This also depends on what is being asked. How unknown are the unknowns? For example, is the feature clearly visible in another product?

You just have to put your domain objects as JSON or YAML in the document.

That will generate 200+ lines of Swagger specification with CRUD operations.

You can then add the documentation you are talking about.

The trick is building out the swagger file with the AWS x-* integrations. That takes the most time. This tool attempts to solve that.
