When you are at the edge of technology a lot of the initial tasks are the smart people go off and think for a few weeks or months. Talking amongst themselves but not necessarily producing visible things. Just updating their mental state as they search solution space for the best achievable answer. Now, I have worked in a place where that time was accounted for and allowed, but most places the value of it seems lost on management.
Sports? Arguably massively more toxic. People being murdered over sporting events is a truly ancient phenomenon and even destabilized empires clear back into ancient times (Nearly Half of Constantinople was burned down to the ground in the Greens vs Blues Nika riots).

This is a good summary of the NIST recommendations [1, Sec 5.1] found in [2].

Dropbox released a library [3] that's easy enough to configure to add your own black list (e.g., your company name, your public wifi password, etc.)

Finally, my recommendation is to enforce same password between laptop and web tools, and use SSO wherever possible.

Password requirements:

- 8-char minimum and 64-char maximum length

- The ability to use all special characters but no special requirement to use them

- Restrict sequential and repetitive characters (e.g. 12345 or aaaaaa)

- Restrict context specific passwords (e.g. the name of the site, etc.)

- Restrict commonly used passwords (e.g. p@ssw0rd, etc.)

- Restrict passwords obtained from previous breach corpuses

The most toxic example of Agile/Scrum I've come across so far has been in a company that was non-technical at its core but wanted badly to pivot to a SaaS business model. The type of company that 50% of the employees have the word "manager" in their title yet manage no one (Digital Project Manager, Technical Project Manager, Product Manager, etc). I think its just in a lot of companies culture that if they can instill some process, any process really, then the results will follow. And software engineers complaining about the demoralizing effects of being micro-managed by junior coworkers who never wrote a line of code in their life are just typical spoiled tech workers. Other companies I've worked for that used Agile methodology were not all that much better, just somewhat less absurd. I'm glad I've gotten out of that world, its left such a bad taste in my mouth I don't know if I can even look at Agile objectively anymore.
It seems like you're missing the point here. The "dark matter" developers aren't being prevented from being internet famous by some mean old clique of tech bloggers that won't let anyone else in. They are the ones who don't care at all about being internet famous, don't write blogs or tweets at all, and don't know or care what other people are blogging and tweeting. They just write code that solves business problems and then go home and do non-tech stuff.

This is not a problem that needs to be solved, it's just something to be aware of.
> But I’ve noticed if you ever try to take a car from someone who has one they with fight you until you’re burger.

I don't own a car, and never have. I live in Stockholm, a very car-hostile city. I commute the 20km each way by bus/subway or e-bike (in the summer).

And it's absolutely miserable.

The commute that would have taken 20 minutes by car instead takes at least an hour, if everything matches up perfectly.

Any large shopping is an exercise in misery, where you're stuck buying one thing, taking it home, and coming back for the next thing in the shop next door, because you have nowhere to store stuff temporarily (and your (/bike's) carrying capacity is tiny anyway). And of course each roundtrip, again, takes 3x what it would otherwise.

Want to meet up with friends? Take the hour+ trip to downtown, then as much again to get to their place, since the system was only designed for getting people to work and back. Oh, and add another 50% since you're in the weekend/evening where the traffic is reduced further.

And then you wonder why there is a loneliness epidemic, or why people get mad when you want to take away the least depressing mode of transportation that they have.

The same also matches my experience of Copenhagen. But of course you're not going to see that when you live in a hotel in the middle of the city for a few days.

There isn't a good argument for considering marquee deprecated anymore. Not when a <toast> element is being considered[0]. So I'd use it whenever I want a marquee.

After all, <marquee> and <toast> are both shorthands for stuff that could be implemented in CSS/JS - except marquee is well supported, well specified, and more semantically different than other elements compared to <toast> (which is pretty similar to <dialog> and arguably <output>[1]).

Your language betrays your resentment. The sourest of grapes.
Beyond the literal fact that "everyone" is undeniably a giant mass of people, I suspect this term was intended to mean "to consumers", particularly given that the following example calls out enterprises.

Developing for a small but demanding set of enterprise customers with concrete (but sometimes arcane) requirements is a very different problem from developing for consumer markets.

If you want to draw a rigorously serious comparison you need to mathematically compare audience sizes and base rates. Don't know how it shakes out but my money is definitely on sports, if for no other reason than that video game fans don't congregate in huge arenas with heavy drinking as often as sports fans do
I remember when a friend of mine got their first HD TV and Blu-ray, none of us had ever seen that stuff. We were still used to CRT screens, and at best DVD.

We borrowed a movie, fired it up - and everyone thought there was something wrong with the movie. The image quality looked almost like something from handheld camera, just very non-cinematic. We returned the movie, and went with another one.

Nope, same problem. We just figured that's the way HD looked like.
Seems the no1 Soft Power in the world aka the UK is downvoting anything negative about it on this forum.

You can view this as the result of the emancipation of women.

Or you can view it as the sacrifice of the private sphere (family, children, home and hearth) at the altar of the economic sphere.

I suppose I view it as a bit of both. I certainly don't like the idea of people being forced into marriage. But I'm also skeptical of the rejection of marriage. I don't think a career can replace a family. The reason I have a career is so I can have a family.

A lot of people in their 20s seem to think that their dayjob is actively involved with "making the world a better place" and will lead to fulfillment. I think "brainwashing" is a fairly accurate word to describe that mentality.
>The world is not static. Today's crap healthcare and over the counter meds are impossible, miraculous health care if you compare with what people experienced historically.

Isn't this just a weaselly way of saying that you're perfectly fine with poor people getting much worse care than rich people? What does it matter that they're getting better care than rich people did 100 years ago?

>Ok, I made that up, but hopefully you get the point that greater things are coming than the things we have now.

I'm sure that is a great comfort to uninsured patients with stage 3 cancer! We could just give them the care they need right now, but I guess it's better to wait some indeterminate amount of time till the market brings the cost of chemotherapy down to $100/month.

>My position is: the market left to do its thing produces goods/services that are cheap and plentiful. Yours is, I think: the market has no soul and there is corporate greed/corruption and the market will always have losers, so we need to intercede and level the playing field for people. Please correct me if I got you wrong.

As far as compromise is concerned, I don't really see any room for it here. There are many ways to provide universal health coverage. I have not insisted on a single payer system at any point in this discussion. However, it seems that what you want to compromise on is not the means of delivery, but the universality itself.
In all of your long and irrelevant discourse on various economic points, I don't detect any concrete statement of what it is about the current system in the US you don't like, and how you'd actually propose to change it. So it seems to me that you de facto support the current system.

I worked for a massively incompetent electronics conglomerate at one point. They decided to change all of our phone numbers for some reason. My number became a former support number, and if you had an old enough product and looked in the manual for our support number, I might have gotten that call.

Most of the time I just gave the callers the correct number, but if it was a product I had worked on I would try to answer their questions...

Some dumb f* called up once and claimed he had taken the batteries that came with a product of ours he bought, put them in his Apple keyboard, and they had leaked, ruining his keyboard. He was adamant he was owed a keyboard.

I tried explaining politely that batteries leak from being over-discharged... But he wasn't having any of it. I eventually handed him off to customer service, who I assume told him to pound sand.

I simply misunderstood what you were saying - it seemed quite a non-sequitur from the main point of the article.

I think it's a little premature to assume that the population of Japan is going to die out. One of the points mentioned is that few Japanese women have children out of wedlock - I imagine this will change as time moves on and fewer couples marry, similar to other countries.

However, I think the main challenge with posing the question "have there been other human cultures that die out due to a lack of desire to procreate" is that culture is quite an ephemeral thing - what would it mean to die out?

As an aside, is strawman a verb these days? Language is hard to keep up with.

Seriously, if that happens I'm moving out of the UK. I've spent 9 years of my life here and even though it gives me weekly anxiety problems, I've plowed on through the whole brexit stuff, I've applied for the stupid right to stay the government implemented, I'm telling myself that the drop in the value of the pound is not that bad even though living here has been continuously and very visibly getting more expensive especially for the past 3 years......but if the NHS is dissolved or gutted enough that it stops being a public health service then me and my wife are selling the house, packing bags and just leaving for another EU country. I'm fucking terrified for the future. I really am. Cutting down on the news helps a bit but there is constant feeling of uncertainty.

I have psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The barriers to getting a prescription for an effective (and expensive) biologic medication can be crazy.

When I've been forced to use a "specialty pharmacy", they require that the medication be shipped overnight (it has to be refrigerated) which is clearly more expensive than picking it up at a neighborhood pharmacy, that shipment has to be arranged every month, which means a phone call, waiting on hold, passing a quiz on my condition, surviving attempts to upsell supplies I don't need. They also won't ship "too soon", which inevitably means that the monthly refills slightly more slowly than once a month

I've also had insurance demand that I take ineffective but cheap medication for 3 months before I can get the stuff that works -- ostensibly they want to see if the cheap methotrexate (daily nausea, waves of fatigue) is effective.

In the 11 years since my diagnosis I've managed to be regularly on an available effective medication about 60% of the time, mostly because of this nonsense. 40% of the time I'm in pain
Both my best AND worse experiences with process have been 'agile'. (Although the best was NOT "Scrum").

And not just because all of my experiences have been agile (they have not been).

For agile to work well, you need a competent team and manager, AND be embedded in an organization (ie, who determines appraisal of your manager/team) which truly is concerned with prioritizing value to business/customer over, say, "looking good to other managers", or "trying futilely to predict what the software will look like a year from now, because it makes me feel in control" or "weird power struggles with other parts of the organization". Everyone (or at least the majority of those with the power to make you miserable or break your career) has to be really at least trying to work together to maximize business/customer value.

If you have that, is your experience (and your software) going to be good whether you use agile or not? Probably. But agile is a really useful and effective mindset for making your software product _and_ your experience (stress-levels for instance) even better. It works, in my experience.

If you don't have that, is your experience (and your software) going to be terrible using agile or not, in proportion to how much you don't have it? Sure. And agile and especially scrum can probably make it even worse.

As if video game controversies are untouched by politics. And murder in sports continues to this day even when there isn't an emperor to overthrow.

If you want to bring politics into sports, then i'll just say videogames are just as political as sports are, and the death count is still way way lower (hypothesis, but I'm pretty confident).

I'm not saying "Video game toxicity is not a problem." it is, it's a big problem. But lets dispense with easily disprovable hyperbole like "it's the MOST toxic enthusiast culture"

IPv4 numbering sucks. IPv6 lets you stop worrying about that.

In IPv4 you're going to need RFC1918 addresses, and then you're going to have to make sure that _your_ RFC1918 addresses don't conflict with any _other_ RFC1918 addresses that inevitably absolutely everything else is using or else you'll get hard-to-debug confusion. No need in IPv6, you should use globally unique addresses everywhere, there are plenty and you will not run out.

Everybody who has ever used a single byte to store a value they were convinced wouldn't need to be more than a few dozen, and then it blew up because somebody figured 300 ought to fit and it doesn't already knows in their heart that they shouldn't be using IPv4 in 2019.
