> Your primary work tracking tool is not good enough to allow people to see who is working on what, and what the status of that work is? You can't get an overview of what is being worked on? You can't check on a specific issue to see how far along it is?

In my experience most people don’t regularly post summaries of their progress on their ticket. Even getting certain people to update their ticket descriptions at all (to add test instructions or to reflect that they decided to do something other than originally described) usually requires reminders.

This may depend on team culture but in my experience a lot of people just aren’t written communicators.

I thought part of the reasoning for standups was to synchronize your interruptions, so instead of breaking people's flow throughout the day, you can line up all the cross-cutting concerns at the beginning of the day.

But just from a security and privacy perspective, why would a non-admin be downloading and installing random software packages?
Security requirements all apply to the client side. The storage on the server doesn't matter. You could upload directly to the NSA and it will still be fine.

It doesn't need to know that. When you use a GUI app to download an app (web browser, for example), the executable is marked 'quarantine.' When you build an app yourself, it doesn't get marked 'quarantine.'

Items marked 'quarantine' get the "Are you sure?" (or "you can't" or "find another way" or whatever) dialog.

You mean, for example the Palo Alto Caltrain station? If you happen to work in another city center, that will suffice for your daily commute, but not much else. How do you get home from the casino at 2am? How do you get to your friend's house in the suburbs? How do you get to In-n-Out?

I'd consider this barely acceptable, far from excellent.

Anecdotally, I find that the people who are loudest about Apple's misdeeds (both real and assumed) are often people who've never even used an Apple product.

There is plenty of legit criticism of Apple to be made, and you certainly don't have to be an Apple customer to make it. But half the time what I see instead is pearl-clutching from people who don't have enough experience with the platform in question to tell what an announced change even does, blowing up what amount to minor inconveniences into the end of all life as we know it.

How to notarize a binary if one does not have macOS? I used to have a cross-platform build on Docker for macOS, I wonder how would I do it now.
I work remotely, have the last 5 years. I love daily standups. Here's why:

1. We do all of our work business async. (e.g. what did you do? what are you working on? All that stays in slack)

2. We use our standups for ice-breaker questions and company-wide announcements. (e.g. Everyone talks about what their favorite vacation was, which usually creates quite the conversation. And then afterwards, the team heads will give any critical updates they have, which usually are none)
Anti-developer? Sure.

But anti-consumer? How is this anything but good for 99% of Mac users? It keeps totally un-savvy users safer, puts savvier users on high alert, and doesn’t affect power users at all (other than the minor inconvenience of right clicking the first time you open a non-notarized app).

Increasing capacity can only be done with money, which needs to come from somewhere - most likely a tax increase elsewhere that will hit not only those same poor people, but also their neighbors who walk to work.

Peak fares to encourage people to work non-peak hours if possible can shift demand enough to mean you don't need build more transit now saving a lot of money now. Eventually there is no substitution for building more, but better utilization can ease that somewhat.

homebrew removes that hassle. "brew install" doesn't make you download and build everything from source.
Not the OP but: Some sysadmins and devs work in institutions where this wouldn’t be allowed or be practical to support (e.g. schools, some healthcare, etc.). It’s not universally applicable to every environment but it’s easy to get in the mindset that it is after you’ve seen what a determined idiot can do.

It's been burning in my mind to build an RSS server that runs on your local machine with a single binary and you just add whatever sources you want.

1. It uses RSS where it's available.

2. It scrapes the content kinda like outline.com but local copies.

All data saved to your local machine, as flat files so you can use whatever backend mechanism you require.

I want to find some time this year and build this. Would anyone actually use this though?
That's an odd position to take. I purposefully make my primary account a non-administrator and elevate permissions with my administrator account when I need to perform administrative tasks. This prevents scripts or programs from misusing permissions without my knowledge.

It's also the default policy of my work, a university. Staff do have local administrator access to their machines, but are not supposed to use it for regular operations for safety.

Indeed. If we were serious about colonizing mars we should first colonize portions of the earth that are currently uninhabitable (self-sufficiently). They all are much easier to get to and have significantly more favorable conditions than Mars, but for some reason no one tries to make the Arctic self-sustaining or wants to build a deep ocean colony.

> An example? Cheese.

I'm actually one of the people who don't have much of a problem with Canada's dairy (and poultry) regime, with its supply-side management:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_management_(Canada)

The fact of the matter is that just about everyone (US, EU) subsidies their farmers from general tax revenue. The US supposedly gives as much in subsidies as the entire Canadian market.

If Canada were to open its market to foreign product, Canadian farmers would probably be wiped out because of cheaper imports. So if Canada would want a domestic industry, they too would also have do subsidize their own farmers--and that would be done from general tax receipts.

So the taxes of someone who is lactose intolerant would be going to help produce milk. Someone who is vegan / vegetarian would be helping to grow chickens.

With the current system, the only people paying more are the folks who actually by the product(s).
Definitely interesting and waiting for the pill as well.

I want to reply as one of the people pushing the "actually, certificated is a word" line.

I think perspective here is important. While anything that a speaker and hearer agree has meaning can be considered a word, there is definitely a separate matter of blending in to a particular linguistic context. I wouldn't deny that.

But I do think it's important to remember that what you're doing is trying to blend in to a particular linguistic context... not trying to be right instead of wrong. In some English contexts, "kindly do the needful" is a normal, unremarkable phrase. In others, it barely registers as English at all. In some, you can rent a flat when you go on holiday. In others, it's an apartment and a vacation.

Regardless of context (to my knowledge), we talk about a "building site" not a "building place", for no apparent reason.

There are no reasonable criteria by which any of those phrasings can be considered "wrong". They just don't sound natural in some (or all) contexts. But when you consider this perspective, things get muddy quickly because language usage varies so much. Like... I would say your sentence "I have noticed published mistakes myself and had private and much nicer feedback about other mistakes before." would sound more natural with "have" added... "I have noticed published mistakes myself and have had private and much nicer feedback about other mistakes before." But I can't say a native speaker would never say it the way you did, so what do we take from that? Probably any piece of writing can be improved, whether by a native or non-native speaker. At what level do we say the speaker sounds native? It's just all very muddy.

It's not even clear who gets to count as a native speaker. Is someone who grew up speaking Indian English in school but a different language at a home a native English speaker? Their accent and word choices will make very clear they aren't a native speaker from an "English speaking country" (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand), but... English is an official language of India and spoken every day by millions of people there. Is someone who grew up in Amsterdam and learned English in school from childhood and has used it extensively as an international / business / default fallback language for their entire adult life a native English speaker?

Nothing with language is black and white. If your goal is to be understood and to have the fluency to express interesting ideas with nuance and clarity, then you're already there. Are there tells that you aren't as high up on the "native" spectrum as others? Yes. But if I applied the same critical eye to my own writing after 5 years when I've forgotten it was me who wrote it, I could probably find things I would perceive as non-native there too.

So basically I'm just trying to say... your skill in English does not in any way appear to be an impediment to using the language effectively. While there are things which could make you sound more native, those aren't a matter of right or wrong English... they're a matter of word choice / phrasing that sounds more familiar to the context you are speaking into.
How to help protester friends organize In Ecuador?
I have friends in Ecuador who are undergoing increasing militarization of the crackdown of protests. They would love something like https://hkmap.live/ in Honk Kong. Is there a way to set something similar up quickly, from existing code for example?

Other question, they are using Signal to communicate. Is there a way for members of a group to not be able to see who the other members are (to prevent de-anonymisation by the government)?

Everyone talks about what their favorite vacation was

Getting to the office "on time" (9 AM) takes an extra 30 minutes compared to arriving "late" (10 AM) due to rush hour mass transit congestion. I would be very pissed off if I had to show up on time just to hear about my coworkers' vacations.
Isn't that kinda what we have?

You can write web apps rather than mobile apps, publish on open source publishing platforms, use IRC, use RSS, etc. Yes, there may be discoverability and other downsides but nothing is actually preventing you from avoiding walled gardens for the most part.
To some extent I find standups useful for joining a team. It helps me understand how to team operates, who the experts are, the team's struggle points, etc. But yes, after a short while they do begin to feel mostly pointless.
You do not notarize. Apple does. You submit the app to Apple for them to notarize. Pretty sure you don't need a Mac for that.
How would this even work? Everything will be offline by then.
But from the perspective of a dev it means you will need to either go through the App Store (and pay / let Apple have any list word on your app) or have your users drastically reduced because they can't even open the app.
Restaurants don't need to change their hours - they need their employees in before the rush hour and working during it because that is when people are going to be there. You 7:45 coffee on the way to work was made by someone who got in at 6:00 am to setup the coffee pot. Hospitals aren't going to change their shifts (unless staff demands it - they might), but a large number of people going in at rush hour are not doing shift work where they need to be in at a particular time. I can adjust my schedule a lot if I want, fares (and traffic) can be motivation to doso.
> People who speak Mandarin are regularly harassed, told to "go back to Mainland", and attacked physically.

I don't disagree there is some racism going on in some areas in Hong Kong. But it is definitely not the normal. You will definite not see that behavior in the financial district.

But its no different that some Beijingers thinking southern people are barbarians is it? You simply ignore and move on.

> Even Cantonese speaking local HKers, who tried to remove roadblocks (so their vehicles could pass) set up by the protesters, were regularly attacked.

This is clearly bias. Given, the only people that would try to remove roadblocks are pro-china people. Most local HK people avoid the protest areas and stay indoors.
So they're going to also vet all webpages before consumers can visit them? That's ridiculous.

From the Article: " 'mere exposure effect' means that the more we’re exposed to something, the more we tend to like it."

From my perspective: This is evidence something is broken with humanity.

I do understand that we need a period of familiarization to better understand and appreciate a new piece of music. I get that we can relive that initial appreciation - after a period of forgetfulness.

From my perspective, that period of forgetfulness should last months or years, not hours or days.

I am strongly, sometimes physically repulsed by Clearchannel music programming, because of repetition. Most genres seem to be equally abused but Oldies/Classic stations are the worst.

As I am well into my 50s, I've heard most "Classic" songs thousands of times - mostly involuntarily. They became unpleasant after a score or so. By the 100th relisten they transition to the sort of torture that the CIA uses against enemy combatants.

I'm in FL; Classic/Oldies playlists are pervasive here. You can't complete a day of chores without traversing countless retail and public spaces poisoned with it. It's like living with a family member who's abusive when they drink and they drink every day.

I like every genre a lot short of hip-hop and opera (but I'm warming up to them) This fall I'm working thru a list of 100 more progressive bands I haven't heard. New favorite finds are Crust (whoo yeah), Milos Makovsky and maybe The Steve Bonino Project which I can't figure out if I like or not. I just listened to Gil Scott-Theron's B-Movie for the first time and it was amazing.

So - all of this is just me making this point. I don't disagree with the article. However, I think it points to a deep psychological malfunction in people (or whatever is the opposite of robust mental health). I'm not even saying that those who are content with their bad mental health, shouldn't be or that it shouldn't ever bleed over to me. I do wish I didn't have to experience it every day and that people I love weren't afflicted with it.

I second the above comment, this is indeed the difference between a team and what shouldn't be a team. If people at a standup are talking about unrelated things then they indeed shouldn't be having standups, much less be considered a team in the first place. What's happening in standups and probably other meetings are symptoms of a structural issue people are either not seeing or failing address.

My rule of thumb for assessing a team is based on two simple questions: 1. Do people in the team work towards the same goal? 2. Do people in the team depend on each other? If the response to both questions is positive then by all means, have standups. In other cases, have a good look at whether it makes sense to call them a team in the first place.

we should have clear, rational and reasonable debate

I'm starting to wonder if part of the problem is the way debating is taught in school. Certainly when I was in school debate was taught essentially as a sport, a thing that you could win or lose and with tactics and strategies that you could use to help you defeat your opponent. The point under debate was basically irrelevant, and should be able to 'win' no matter which side you where debating, truth be damned. If you conceded ground to your opponent or admitted that you where wrong about something you'd said, you lost.

Having a clear, rational and reasonable debate was never something that was taught or encouraged.

Of course it affects behavior in public, as well as clothing and dress. You can't openly support movements- including the wearing of logos, brans, slogans, sayings, etc.
