Thank you for your references, but you are missing the point. Neither of your link actually contradict my statement, if your read the article beyond the click bait.

Two of them are about classifying the wine from cheap to expensive, which makes no sense because the price doesn't mean the wine taste better, taste is actually subjective first of all and the price does not only depend on the taste anyway as I explained before.
Giving a rank to wines or saying that they are different is actually an immense difference in term of logic.

The one about colours is not relevant either. It states that people are influenced by the colour and dismiss the odour. Being able to distinguish similar wines in taste is very difficult, regardless of the price and wine colour. It takes an expert to do it because of the shear number of flavours. Even expert can be fouled when wine are close.

I wish you had the opportunity to try a nice aged Bordeaux one day you'll get my point.
For most people all bread are the same, all rice tastes the same, truth is if you are into this kind of food you are able to tell them apart.

I use a CV1 with XPlane and...OK the instruments are pixellated from a fully seated position, but lean forward a few inches and they're legible. Any such issues are fully compensated by the sense of height you gain and positional awareness. I could never go back to a monitor setup for flight sim.

If my CV1 is fine, I'd imagine that the current headsets are more than adequate for reading instruments.
Reducing actual face-to-face interaction and communicating only over Jira is a way to de-humanize work.

Do work as a team of humans. Talk directly to your fellow team members. Using daily standups is a face-to-face way of syncing.

Don't work by sitting 10 hours in front of your screen and communicate only via chat channels.
Step 4b. Realize that the distro doesn't matter at all and actually read the guide instead of blindly copy&pasting.

I wanted to paint the walls of my apartment but could only find a guide for other apartments, so I torched the whole place and moved into another building with the right colored walls, but now my nice kitchen is gone.
It's a bad article. Standups shouldn't be disruptive at all. Just a couple of minutes to get some idea of what everybody is working on. Standups are in my experience much more effective at signalling blocking issues than slack. Nobody is going to spend their day checking what other people are doing on Jira, so the standup is the perfect time to inform everybody efficiently.

If any issues come up, you can discuss them immediately after the standup.

Long meetings are terrible, but short meetings are great. That's the whole idea behind the standup. If a couple of minutes per day kills your velocity, as the article claims, I wonder what else you're doing during the rest of the day. It only has a measurable impact on your velocity if you're only a working an hour per day. And even then I'd guess it's useful to have a quick refresher about what you're working on.
You're saying this on HN: a site that's vastly more regulated than reddit ever has been or is likely to be.

I'm old enough to remember reddit before the days of subreddits. It wasn't a magnet for extreme content back then. That happened as a result of subreddits.
> What people are working on is usually unrelated and of no interest to each other

If that is the case, then why are you even in the same scrum team? What you have there is not a team by the sounds of it.
It's not how it works. Some people will volunteer this information anyway, and then either them or someone else on their behalf will raise a stink about how the information is being ignored.
What information does a standup monologue convey that couldn't be expressed more clearly and with persistent links to context than a comment on a Trello card?

My team don't do daily standups. They're pointless ceremony.

Yesterday I worked on… Yes we know. We can see the Trello card you worked on.

Today I am working on… Yes we know. We can see what you've currently assigned yourself on Trello.

I am blocked by… Why the hell are you waiting until now to bring this up?!
As with everything in life. The virginial bliss cannot sustain. As always, you need compromises and structure to integrate with external world support. Hopefully they don't change it too much.
SE's management with this rule is disarming any discussion on the matter a priori, thus avoiding any complication for itself.
> Now imagine that nobody sees any of the things you love about your work, and that all your anxieties are borne out. You are crazy, a freak, a slut, a pervert, an idiot. Delusional, more than anything. Nobody ever looks at you the same way again. You took the leap you desperately needed to take, and you fell on your face.

That's pretty much the feeling that every even mildly controversial artist experiences at some point. The question remains "was that a good idea to make something like this out of your gender?" I'd say, never.

> The older we get, the less we care what other people think, and some people probably literally cannot identify with this even if they scour the depths of their adolescent memories looking for an analog.

Maybe that's it. I'm 40 year old fart whose life partner died a month ago because of brain cancer. My scale of how significant teenage-like problems are, must be off. But even as I reach towards my adolescent memories ... I struggle to find any instance where I was desperate to be recognized as a man or a boy. Maybe that's because I was raised as a single mother, never met my father and my male model was my grandfather who above all was a tinkerer so that became much more important part of my identity then being of specific gender.
Reddit and Hacker News aren’t really similar/comparable, and extreme content came much, much later than the existence of subreddits (and the admins took a very hands off approach to it then, too.)
Ad/brand driven reddit is the end of reddit and means that a new alternative will appear and we don't know yet what it'll be - finally exciting times for the web, again.
The notion that big brands do not want to advertise in "chaos" seems suspicious to me. In real life, there are Gucci ads right next to the homeless and drug addicts. People vandalize public ads with swastikas, Hitler beards and other sh*t, but brands do not care. Such incentives simply do not exist in real life, because nobody will realistically associate the ads with their coincidental context such as vandalism. I'm not seeing why this should be different on the internet. If it is, then I'd be interested in studies actually providing evidence for that.
Not even the internet is safe from gentrification.
You will be in less than a week, when the new CoC is officially in place.
I've been in teams where standups are short and to the point, and in teams where they drag on for way too long.

A few elements that I think contribute to long standups:

* A very large team (I've been in a marged team of 14 people once...)

* Getting too much into technical details: don't do that; have your technical discussions after the standup with only the relevant people

* People sharing their opinion (frustration) about blocking issues and that developing into a discussion. Again, leave it until after the standup.

When standups drag on for too long, it's time for the scrum master to step in and get people to keep it short.
As a fairly new out of university and with my first startup job, I found the newly introduced daily standup a motivation saver & reduced stress in the group.

Our dev sub-group had no sync-meeting except weekly-meetings where we met the entire department that presented their progress that didn't give us any insight in what was going on at all. Didn't help that our sub-group responsible where the CTO, that was mostly absent for investor/customer/management meetings. Tasks where distributed really unevenly, some devs got isolated in their module/tasks for week/months and lost sight of where the development was at the moment.

standups seems to work pretty well when the person in charge have insight in to how each members work fit in to the overall picture, and would rather not manage the group much more than making sure people are not trailing off. It helps the group more than the managers, if done right.
The number of phones with unlockable bootloaders is also shrinking at the same time. This is an uphill battle.
You are right, but HN is regulated. Reddit is moderated. On Reddit there are so many examples of straight bad moderation, personal feuds, and aberrant behavior recently. Take a peek at /r/watchredditdie.
yeah but I was expecting support also for newer models. They are basically the same of LineageOS
> "Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong" -> "I was merely voicing one thought, based on one interpretation, of one complicated event," he said, adding that he had since heard and considered other perspectives.

Unless I hear those "other perspectives", I'll simply assume he was exposed to pressure, not reason.
And that's why HN is only good for a very specific and narrow subtopic of the whole reddit universe. You can't even have decent political discussion here, not mentioning all the other Reddit's delightful crazyness.
> Sounds like they're utilizing RTX to fullest because I doubt this is possible for real-time without ray-tracing acceleration hardware?

Nope, surprisingly it is a DX11 application with a traditional rendering pipeline. This is all PBR-rasterized; nothing raytraced.

They said they might have plans to port to DX12 in the future, but not before the release.
For reference, my single-user bitwarden_rs deployment, in use for about a year and with twenty days of uptime since I last updated, is currently idling at 14MB of resident memory and 1m46s of CPU time (read: basically nothing, average of 0.006%). 14MB is also its installed disk footprint, plus less than half a megabyte of data.
> People sometimes won't mention important things (e.g., blockers, possible misunderstandings) unless prompted and encouraged (you sometimes actually need to look at the person's face and hear the intonation).

But that's a management fail. Every time I've managed a person that did this, I took them aside and had a short but firm word with them. You can't tolerate that type of behavior in a team if you plan to operate effectively. I seldom need more than one warning; I never needed more than two.
Stack Overflow is just beginning this new stage in its growth

Growth? Well that’s optimistic.
Well, I see the point of a senior: with enough practice you should not need rituals of this kind anymore.

Some seniors don't even need a kanban board on a fast moving project, they just know what needs to be done now to create value at lowest cost, they just feel it.

It's not like when you're junior, you've never done any standup and you don't know when you've been blocked long enough to switch task or ask for support, you've never done any poker planning if you're techie, or value estimations if you're product / sales, you've never prioritized by complexity / value score if you're manager - or equivalent.

For this reason, I think there's still value in such rituals when there are non seniors in a team.

However, I prefer text-chat based standups myself and feel like they produce the same value and cost less time.
I think problem with Reddit advertising is that you at least could not before doing laser-focused campaigns like try to advertise people who are subscribed to ReasonML and sysadmin subreddits.
For those who are price sensitive like me but want all our macros; my personal app also scrapes the flyer for local grocery stores for ingredient prices and runs a knapsack algo to reach my cost threshold and tells me what things I can make
> i mean, that wasn't like her job, was it? again i might be reading all this wrong or maybe we aren't being shown everything.

From what I've gathered, there seems to be additional angle here in which SE talked to the press, apparently using her real name and telling falsehoods about her, and now her name is attached to a slanderous story. This means for her it's no longer about a volunteer position at a tech company, but about her entire life.

As one of those graphics developers that doesn't need to squeeze absolutely all the performance out of a GPU, I moved into middelware engines, where each API backend can be crazly optimized, while I have the productivity freedom to just ask to draw my scene, with a nicely organized set of meshes, materials and combined shaders, without feeling I am doing graphics programming with two sticks.

The anti-managed bias on some Vulkan circles also doesn't help, specially when the OpenGL deprecation message keeps poping up in Vulkan related talks.

Yes, using managed languages will take some performance out of Vulkan, but guess whose's fault it is when no other API gets offered as alternative, not everyone is jumping of joy to use C for graphics programming.

And here Metal, DirectX, LibGNMN, NVN, WebGL, WebGPU take a much developer friendly attitude.
The main advice is to focus on solutions instead of throwing up your hands. That doesn't mean every attempt will be met with success. Sometimes there won't be much you can do but most of the time there is.
> Don't agree with this assessment at all, we do stand-ups and it rarely takes more than 5 minutes

I do agree with it, because everywhere I've worked that does a daily standup does it wrong, and I think OA is more about those organisations.

For many old-fashioned companies, "doing agile" means waterfall + standups. Apparently that's all you need to reap that sweet agile-y goodness. The guy running the meeting doesn't enforce any structure, doesn't stop people rambling on for 10 minutes, doesn't try in any way to note or act on the points people raise. It's just about micro-management and cargo-cult development.

I'm sure with the right company a standup is a very useful tool. But wherever I've worked, it's been all about micro-management and a fundamental misunderstanding of what I actually need to do dev work (usually: a quiet office, no interruptions and time).
From this article looks like a good man is a man with higher status than the woman, a bit sad.
it depends on the tone of the standup.

For a start they should be quick, and the team needs to be fairly small (about 5-6 seems ideal). and cohesive, mostly working on related or interacting code. Also I assume remote, as that's my experience.

The status update part should be extremely quick even perfunctory, unless there's an interesting lesson or important caveat or note-bene etc to share with the team.

The reason for the standup is to make sure everything is "joining up" properly, no new obstacles are looming, and possibly to plan meetings/pairing sessions/etc, for later that day, where required. ie like a football scrum where you agree the game-play for the day.

It's also chance for a bit of "team bonding" type stuff, eg to ask the whole team "are we all feeling good about this sprint", etc - ie, the kind of stuff that may not obvious from stats

If the standup just becomes a forced "status report", that's worse than useless, I agree, and just makes everyone feel "monitored" and under pressure.

I would guess they are also less useful (and potentially more stressful) where everyone is physically present, and might be seen as a trick to get everyone to the office on time.
> I'm postulating the existence of a religious person who would (for example)

Postulating the existence of a person with the traits you want to attack is a nice trick and is often referred to as a strawman.

It is not hard either, I could also want to postulate about the existence of certain people with unfavorable traits (no no, not pointing at anyone, just postulating), and then go on to paint large targets on them etc but I think we are better off without going further down that street.
This is closely related to one's self-assessment and the question of being right and doing right thing.

If one is right, stand up do not matter. If one is wrong, they help greatly.

You say : why should I suffer for unprofessional and weak team member who is wrong?

But you forget to note that the same person could be right sometimes and doing great things and be utterly wrong and solving wrong problems some other times.

Edit: a also wanted to add, that input from peers and peer pressure is not to be underestimated. Management is be wrong as often as any of us.

All android smartphones data are exploited by Google through google services, by manufacturers through uninstallable bloatwares and by app providers through apps. If a user disables a permission, the app refuses to work.

The cheap smartphones are sold mostly in the Asian and African markets where the mass can afford that, and data privacy means nothing to those users.

So, Your data, my data, all are up there somewhere, no matter how cheap or expensive devices we use. Why do we still live in the illusion of data privacy? Is there any?

Working with real numbers, doesn't mean requiring infinite computational power. Numerical integration can make the integration error arbitrary small, even without symplectic integrators, this mean you can work with finite-precision number instead.

The thing with building a quantum computer is that the original hard test (breaking RSA) is being watered down. Until you prove that you've done it you only get non-results telling you that you are not there yet but you don't know why and require ever more funds. So the incentives are badly aligned and you prove a softer test that you try to sell as something as good as the hard test. If you are not familiar with bias you might even fool yourself into thinking you are making progress because you managed to reach the softer goal you have set for yourself while you are adding complexity to obscure your theoretical shortcomings.

>Building quantum computers is the first experiment that has a chance to show what exactly is wrong with QM.

Don't blindly trust experiments : Bell officially proved that what's very probably wrong is right.
Especially when they require expensive equipment or specialized knowledge to reproduce. If there is something wrong with the protocol you can easily falsely convince yourself. Putting a non-zero prior on unknowns unknowns should be a must.

If you ever try to question the Gospel of Non-Locality, you will find yourself cast aside like many before as the vast literature show.
The missions are also so no-nonsense and believable.
> "It's hard to come up with different things to say on the meetings, as there aren't many things that have changed since yesterday."

If you're still working on the same issue, then just say that. Keep the standup short. Of course this can also be a good time to notice a lack of progress; if you're spending days on an issue with little progress, are you stuck? Was the story badly defined? There could be very good reasons why it's taking longer, but again, the standup is a great time to notice these things and check if there's a way to help the issue along.
Yeah. People know how to download a random file off the internet and execute it. That's not being smart.

Malware is more sophisticated today.

A lot of "tech savvy" people download random ROMs off XDA developers and then enter their bank details into apps.

Also rooting is breaking the security model of the device which is also a dumb thing to do.

Advertising on a neonazi blog is quite different than having a swastika tagged on top of your ad. The latter is quite clearly not your intent.
Ah yeah, I didn't mean to suggest that subreddits immediately led to extreme content. However, they obviously are part of what enables it, since that stuff would never have got voted onto the reddit front page.
I’ve been on the site for 7 years (8 in a few days), have been part of the Century Club for 5 years and I would love to see the site with less bigotry. I would say it would be an improvement!
>It wasn't a magnet for extreme content back then. That happened as a result of subreddits.

This.

And it's not just reddit. As long as you can create subgroups within communities you're eventually going to attract some problematic people. While something like CP on tumblr really brought it to light, tumblr was and still is home to some insanely extreme ideologies. Ideologies that some people find completely idiotic but which others truly believe in.

It's the same with other places, in case you weren't aware, Instagram has a ton of CP as well. With tags you can find dedicated groups of various different ideologies, a lot of them extremely problematic.

Same with Facebook and its tags/groups/whatever.

And of course Reddit and its subs.

This all stems from the fact that separating content into categories and tags that people can freely define, means that for people looking for extreme ideologies, it's trivial to find an echo chamber with just a tag or two.
You might want to look at the very long history of sport and power.

Going back to at least the Greeks.

where did you get unlimited data for GBP10?
I use standups to check in with everyone and... 1) inform everyone of why I'm making certain product decisions, so that everyone gets a "feel" for the problem space even though they're not directly talking to customers, etc. 2) Talk about a particular problem that wouldn't get discussed as a group if there wasn't time on the calendar every day, such as "where do we need to improve our telemetry" and 3) to just talk to each other for 30 minutes a day.

I don't like treating engineers as bug-closing robots and I don't think they like being treated as such. Standup gives everyone the feeling of being on a team of people working towards a common objective.
I’m not sure why any company would pay money to advertise there, when you can easily buy upvotes instead. Sure it takes a little more creativity and a longer investment, but if the current front page is any guide, there are plenty of organizations that can do it.
CoCs aren't about regulating behavior, they're about group associations. They cover pretty much the same things that have always been covered in forum rules and moderation policies, only worded a bit differently to justify their existence. The point of replacing your old style of rules with a CoC, named "Code of Conduct", is that by doing so, you signal allegiance. You pay fealty. The mob can now go on and harass some other community.

(At least, that was some time ago. Today, CoCs are frequent enough that people just add them by default.)
Not you. Your response. It's tone and it's content.

Before the positive impact from SJWs the passive aggressive emotional tone you used was associated with femininity.
