Yep, notification ads are forbidden in Apple. I am sure that there are some bad apples but overall the notifications are about stuff happening, not stuff that someone wants to sell me.

I keep hearing that iOS should catch up with Android notifications, that Apple is so far behind but when I look at an Android phone it just feels overwhelming. I literally have better things to do than studying the information and action options in the notifications.

Notifications should be treated as an extremely premium attention grab. I like Apple's way of doing it much, much better than Android and I feel unease when I think about someone in Apple, hears the Android-like notifications and thinks it's a good idea.

Do you realize you are doing the exact same thing as the PC equality types you mock, just from the other gender.

It obviously annoys you that they chose the girl for the successful job, but that is precisely the same annoyance people have when they always read it's a man.

You are picking and choosing examples, feeding your confirmation bias to get offended.
The private gardens at the back are, in every case I knew of in the New Town (although not elsewhere in Edinburgh), owned by the lowest flat in the building. The trade off being that get a garden but the flats themselves tend to be darker and dingier than higher flats.

Good intentions and optimism don't always go wrong. The social housing for workers that Michel de Klerk built in the Spaarndammerbuurt district of Amsterdam is pretty darn nice. It's more gentrified now of course, but the beautiful brick buildings, courtyards, and parks in the style of the Amsterdam School were called 'palaces for the workers'.

>The workers' houses were primarily intended for port workers, who found their work in the nearby ports. [...]

>The most famous buildings in the Spaarndammerbuurt are the workers' houses designed by Michel de Klerk in the style of the Amsterdam School, located at the Spaarndammerplantsoen. Three blocks designed by him were erected here in the 1920s. The most striking design is 'Het Schip', located along the Zaanstraat. The houses were 'palaces for the workers'. Never before had so much care been given to the design of workers' houses. A post office was also part of the block. After the post office in 2000 had closed its doors, has been here since 2001 , the Museum Ship located. Other striking architecture came in the 1920s by KPC de Bazel at Zaandammerplein and by HJM Walenkamp at Zaanhof.

>Housing architecture

>Since his assignment for a block of labor residences on Johannes Vermeerplein, his name would remain associated with public housing. His most famous work is Het Schip, a complex workers' housing in the Spaarndammerbuurt in Amsterdam, built for the Eigen Haard housing association. Together with Kramer, De Klerk also designed a large complex for the social-democratic General Workers' Cooperative De Dageraad on PL Takstraat, also in Amsterdam. Klerk's socialist views have undoubtedly played a role in obtaining these assignments.

>Treasures of social housing: tour (walking, Spaarndammerbuurt) - Museum Het Schip

>Join us on a tour of the Spaarndammerbuurt, the revolutionary neighbourhood that stands as a living and breathing, architecturally fascinating relic to the Netherlands’ incredibly forward-thinking social housing drive of the early 20th century. A walk through the area will illustrate a combination of the subtly intricate designs of the Amsterdam School’s architecture and the socially progressive, ambitious goals of Dutch social housing. Stops along the way will convey some of the fascinating features, such as the Amsterdam School architecture of Michel de Klerk, the palatial courtyards of the Zaanhof, and the thriving community spaces of the Zaandammerplein.

I understand that. My issue is with the fact that (a) you make claims about earning more which you cannot back up with numbers and (b) you do not have any obvious disclaimers stating that this is a high-risk proposition and that the freelancers may just as well never see a single cent of return on their time.

So I am taking issue with the fact that your claims are deceptive.

Performance varies wildly for basic coding decisions across platforms. Especially diff combinations of browser + os.

I am of the opinion that the software industry could improve by closer looking at the industry of producing physical goods. I have yet to conduct further research, but if you glance at it; Agile has been an idea since the 1940s over there; factors like longevity, safety, security directly influence quality of the product and its creation process. Also, greatly standardized methodologies, procedures, metrics (think: 6sigma, Lean).

The main challenge I see is that software development is not a commodity and cannot be as planned as a physical good.

It’s mostly a thought experiment right now and I value any opinion.
True. But your skill and value is proportional to the cost of replacement, so not all is lost.
How Berlin's Mietskaserne tenements became coveted urban housing
I've worked in companies that did this and if those people refused to take time and insisted on working late it was viewed as a bad thing and they were told as much. People who work hard are generally ambitious so telling them it's hurting their career makes them reevaluate pretty quickly.
>> it can be beneficial to act "irrationally"

I have seen this pursued with gusto as a career development strategy on occasion and it works rather well unfortunately. The basic approach is to be so outlandish, unprofessional, and unreliable that capable and rational colleagues will pick up the slack, confident that the crazy person will be quickly gotten rid of due to their bad behavior, however that very rarely happens. The irrational actor ends up being promoted because they are the most visible person on the project as everyone else is in hiding in anticipation of a shit-storm.

It was a gold mine back in the day. Through 3D Buzz I ended up taking one of their courses at the The Renaissance Centre in Dickson.

I work in mobile development now and owe a lot of my early programming skills to 3D Buzz. Their C++ and MEL scripting videos were highlights for me. Rest in peace Jason.

Well, that depends on whether you consider the kitchen (which in that floor plan is an annex of the dining room) and bathroom (which, as the article mentions, was added later in older houses) as "rooms". In Germany, these are usually not counted as rooms, hence acronyms such as "2ZKB" (2 Zimmer, Küche, Bad -> 2 rooms, kitchen, bathroom) for apartments.

> We have been looking really hard for answers to persistent questions. While we have not found affirmative answers, physicists have systematically ruled out option after option after option. We have not yet discovered a unified-theory-of-everything, but we know a whole lot more about what that theory is not.

Yes, that's the beginning of the article. Although according to Wikipedia, you gave the name of the chapter, and the article gave the name of the book.
Everything is a system. The economy, society, relationships, nature, traffic.

You don't need math to reverse engineer a system. You just need to pay attention to it. You can say the right words to make a date happy. You can figure out which lane is the fastest route, better than Google Maps can. You don't need an app or data - your brain is a wonderful data processing machine.

Don't be angry at the people who are benefiting from a system, or at the system itself. Most just end up that way, the same way a river meanders towards the sea, or an electrical current tries to find ground.

Fixing/improving a system often requires deep understanding of it. An action here will cause a response there. People often document it, but few will do a proper design.

If you don't fix a system, few will. Most people are reactive to it and try to live with it as background noise.

If you don't control a system, it will control you. You don't have to change its fundamentals, just move out of the way of harm.

Neatness/order is a way to understand a system. All systems tend to fall to disorder. Disorder is not always a bad thing. Order is very expensive, and only serves as better documentation to those who do not understand it. Very often, excessive order is a symptom of someone who does not understand or control it.

So now you demand that a new theory shouldn't describe what the old theory describes? Just what do you put into the concept of "overfitting"?!
I think, you unterestimate infrastructure (API-wise/tooling/people etc.) here. As it happens, I am myself a beginner in Julia. Not the language is the hard part, but the glueing with my current working environment. And as a beginner I don't speak or even dare to think about commercial projects. This is quite non-trivial and a wonderful sophisticated one-liner quickly becomes far costlier, considering all constraints - even in the long run.

You might be surprised to hear that Paul Graham, creator of Hacker News, recommends that book:

"If you want to learn what people want, read Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People. When a friend recommended this book, I couldn't believe he was serious. But he insisted it was good, so I read it, and he was right. It deals with the most difficult problem in human experience: how to see things from other people's point of view, instead of thinking only of yourself."{1}

I have huge respect for Graham and began to read it based on his recommendation, but gave up about half way. It's so tedious, repetitive, and obvious that I genuinely can't understand what people see in it.

I must note that according to the linked article, "pharma’s record has been markedly better than that of academia and the federal government". It's academia that is not reporting results, not industry.

Depends what you mean by "real". You may know this already, but the only difference between UDP and raw IP is the UDP header, consisting of 4 fields in 8 bytes: source port, destination port, length, and checksum. That's it; there's no other protocol overhead. Thus, from a pure technical perspective there would be basically no advantage to running QUIC directly over IP instead of over UDP. The only advantage is from a human perspective, that it's a little more elegant to put QUIC on the same layer as TCP.

In exchange... among other things, it would break all existing NAT implementations, since NAT is based on port numbers and existing devices wouldn't know where to find the port number in the new protocol. So everyone behind a home router would be unable to use the new protocol until they upgraded their router firmware – which of course most 'normal people' never do, so realistically you're waiting years until they get a new router.

Not only is that a gigantic practical disadvantage, it also feels rather inelegant itself. After all, routers shouldn't need to know the details of the transport protocol just to route packets. If it weren't for NAT they wouldn't have to, which is probably why port numbers aren't part of IP itself. NAT sucks. But NAT isn't going away; even on IPv6 some people insist on using it. By tunneling QUIC inside UDP, we at least regain the elegance of separating what routers need to know (IP + UDP) from the real "transport protocol" (QUIC).
You should consider switching or quitting. It should not feel like that.
Since living in Berlin myself my personal favorite is the „Berliner Zimmer“ (Berlin Room) which is quite common for buildings of a certain period due to building codes of the time. Due to its location in the building - it‘s a room connecting the front of the building with the back for L-shaped apartments - it usually is quite large but has only one window in the corner which makes it a rather dark place.

I think it has to do with changing legal status of dollar in Venezuela.

> Until recently, using foreign money was a crime the government enthusiastically threatened to prosecute. After the ruling socialists established currency controls back in 2003, they began patrolling for transactions that ran afoul of their Kafkaesque rules about money. Plain-clothed inspectors ran stings and raided businesses.

> ...

> According to the calculations of one top bank executive, about 30% of all transactions are made in dollars these days. I’d be shocked if that percentage didn’t keep growing. Which seems to be making moot one of the big theoretical debates in opposition circles: whether to adopt the dollar as Venezuela’s currency if they finally manage to take power from the socialists. The people already have.

Having worked with filling shelves, that job felt sometimes a lot more complex than my development job nowadays. The store I worked for didn't in general allow anything extra to be stored in the warehouse. This lead to the filling load sometimes having excess products that you had to fit somewhere. I really enjoyed making space by moving and rearranging products on the shelves. The products came in wrapped in big rollers that contained random products so looking at the roller product list and how they were packaged you had a puzzle to find a nice path that visited all the correct shelves. Occasionally you would have campaigns and such where you could be quite creative in setup and arrangement.

It was the job I have been most satisfied with in my working life. However, I did only do it for 8 months for 6 hours a day. Maybe in the long run it gets more boring.

The variety between shelf filling between different store brands and even different stores of the same brand made me really think no two jobs are the same.
Doesn't work, fully paywalled.
>make more money, but create far less value.

If the market structure doesn't allow reaping profit proportional to the value you create, the less profitable thing doesn't get done, even if it creates more value for society. It's a market failure.

I'm sure they set the EOL date to a Patch Tuesday for a reason. :)

Besides, end of support is not a hard deadline. Microsoft needs to produce patches for Extended Security Updates (ESU) customers anyway, and some of that can trickle down to ordinary users. Windows XP got an unexpected patch to fix a particularly serious vulnerability several weeks after the official EOL.
> Also, how can standups be designed to make the team work more effectively?

Tips:

* NO MANAGERS. The standup is for the scrum team to organise and help itself. It is not there give a status update for the manager. The manager isn't in the team, and people have trouble talking freely when the manager is around.

* Do an issue based standup. Discuss the status of each issue on the board from the right to left. The primary question is "What can we do to keep these issues moving along through the process?".

* At the end you can ask "Does anyone have anything else important to add?". Maybe people have to leave early today etc etc.

Personally I would hate it. I really like to live on the ground floor or the basement to confirm certain stereotypes. A penthouse wouldn't be attractive at all and I would hate to have to use stairs or an elevator just so that I can go outside.

Granted I would hate living in a place where you don't have any green as well. I don't get the factors that pull people into the city beside job opportunities.

In the past cities were cultural centers without alternatives, but that fundamentally changed with modern information logistics and individual transport.

I am still living in a city but most people leave at one point in their lives and I plan to do the same. The often proclaimed mega cities of the future sound rather outdated already.
