Rust has a real existence that's somewhere in the vicinity of that of Elixir, Haskell, Ada, and Delphi. It's definitely alive, but it's not "the one to beat" or a major factor, even in the systems programming space, which is what I was responding to.
Usually the counterargument in that case is that no movement got what it wants by asking nicely.
Ive been debugging packet loss issues lately and they did all occur in the datacenter. For backbones and network exhanges they move so much traffic already that things like everyone working remote only increases traffic by a few percent, and they have a lot of over capacity in order to handle spikes or when a new game is released and everyone downloads it at the same time.

So yes it would really help to have more decentralisation. Like putting the content closer to the user.
Definitely Animal Crossing. It’s a pure sandbox and particularly popular with people who are not interested in competition or overcoming game challenges, but rather in wandering around in a soothing environment, having some space for creativity (expressing themselves) and “meeting” their friends online in a relaxing environment. While they could have added more to multiplayer, existing elements like sending gifts to your friends or evening walks through the in-game museum together are actually working quite well.
But we only can argue against it, because we can verify it isn't true. Hypotheses generated by the phrenological assumptions simply don't hold. Heck, even astrology can be tested.

"The Jargon File" might be a good place to start. From there, maybe read one of The Cathedral and the Bazaar, The Soul of a New Machine, or Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution.

I read Fire in the Valley when I was young and it impacted me, although there might be a better book that's similar. I might also recommend something by Jaron Lanier or Stallman if you don't might being a little political.

It's kind of silly to protest the feasibility of cycling because it requires a certain kind of infrastructure given the truly enormous costs we've endured to create -- and recreate in the case of cities that predate the automobile -- cities that accomodate the automobile. That all looks baked-in and natural to you, because it's always been that way, but make no mistake, it's the largest engineering project ever undertaken by mankind.

For a while, I saw an option to tip the restaurant as a line item in UberEats. Not sure if it's everywhere yet. It was also a bit confusing that there were two different tips, with different UX (since there's still the existing option to also tip the driver).
Exciting to see our research making broad impact across the industry! https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.08435
Signal MAU is probably in the low two digit million range (probably because there are no public data), while Whatsapp MAU is 2 billion as of March [1]. So Signal has maybe 1% of Whatsapp's market share.

Practically - we don't need to recycle long lasting products immediately(2+ decades).

Take a GF boat or a CF* bike - both of them have a lifetime of at least 10 years. Storing them in a concentrated manner, will take a very small amount of space(we overestimate our landfill needs) and would make recycling or dismantling much cheaper when the tech comes in.

(*CF bikes last longer than alu alloy frames, btw)
This is specific enough that I don't think I can say "not legal advice", address as posed, and truly expect that nobody will jump to some conclusion without consulting a lawyer. You'd really want to have a legal conversation about this kind of scenario, with full freedom to talk confidential details, in order to reach the right practical conclusion.

What I can say is that the Defensive license comes from folks who deal with M&A, noncompetes, and resulting complexities all the time. 1.0.0 has a number of provisions addressed to potential operational and structural changes that could affect scope:

https://polyformproject.org/licenses/defensive-licenses/1.0....

https://polyformproject.org/licenses/defensive-licenses/1.0....

My own personal view is that the 1.0.0 terms will be perfectly well recommendable for a great many companies and use cases starting today. But also, emphatically, that any set of terms can be improved, especially in how they interact with external sources of complexity, like the corporate laws. I hope we'll see 1.0.1s and 1.3.0s and 2.0.0s and beyond for all the PolyForm licenses.

If anyone is or has the gas to contribute to those conversations, please reach out: https://polyformproject.org/contribute/
Digital blackface is not my idea, nor is it something I noticed. (I am white.) Someone else explained it to me. I was probably a bit skeptical that a funny GIF of Oprah could be linked to Jim Crow, but in the historical context of blackface there are some unavoidable similarities.
For many years, the most popular routing platforms (i.e., boxes built by Cisco) performed IP packet forwarding and management functions on the same processor (often a RISC architecture). In cases where packet rate was high, it was possible for devices to become unresponsive or lose critical protocols responsible for sharing routing information.

In the last 15 years there has been a hard move away from these architectures. Almost no packets are forwarded by the same processors running management and control plane functions anymore. This is mainly because the required traffic rates today need dedicated silicon purpose built for the task (the Broadcom Tomahawk3 can do 12.8 Terabits/sec above a relatively small packet size).

I don't know how things will shake out for the Linux world and x86 packet forwarding given the trend and lack of real performance in the kernel. Right now, your best bet when it comes to Linux and high network throughput/packet processing requirements is to just bypass the kernel entirely with DPDK, a "smart" NIC, or XDP.
I have both a PinePhone Braveheart and a Purism Librem 5. While it is very exciting to see how far both have come within the past few months, my one gripe with both of them is none of them have the complete feature set of a phone, i.e. none support MMS. This means group texts and picture messages are not supported. While I am willing to tolerate a lot to be able to use open source technology, the inability to use it as a basic phone makes it a complete non-starter as a replacement.

It makes it even more difficult as so many of the OS and vendors advertise SMS and voice call support (which they have), so I have had to play the guessing game on a lot of the OSes that advertise SMS as working to discover this.

That being said, it is really exciting to see how far both have come, and I do think they both will be an awesome replacement to an Android phone sooner than later. Even more exciting is that they both are close to and will have mainline (EDIT: Mainline Linux) support, so they will be supported for a long time and not depend on a vendors willingness to support it.

Does it come together with the actions feature to Github Enterprise?
Same. I’m cool with the driver getting a tip (and for a while the delivery startups were taking cuts of those), but there doesn’t seem to be a way to tip the restaurant.

The exception appears to be ChowNow where, I think, restaurants pay a flat fee as opposed to the percent of sale business model. Plus I can pick up, so the tip that you leave is really the restaurant, though who knows if they’re skimming from their staff.
Like most questions, the answer will get more complex the closer you look. But we're doing the "science" thing: collecting more data, and narrowing the error bars. Past a point, you know enough that more accuracy won't change your action choices. That's a good enough answer for me.

Emojis can have ambiguity too. My friends and have been using the eye roll emoji to signal we're being sarcastic for about 10 years. The un-animated version of this emoji looks like "I'm not really thinking what I'm saying", especially on Discord/Twitter.

I've recently a colleague who used the tongue out emoji for sarcasm and the eye roll one for, well, eye rolling with disdain in reaction to something.

The first chat discussions were then quite awkward, because when I were to write something like "You should have tested your code before deploying it... :eyeroll:", he was thinking I was openly looking down on him in front of the team.

We had to have a real discussion about it. It made me tone down my use of emojis - and sarcasm. I suppose using animated emojis (they were in MSN I think?), or GIF reactions would have made the things clearer.

Animal Crossing might be up your alley, there's no real goals in the game, you can decorate your house and island, garden, befriend fellow villagers, craft new furniture, catch fish and bugs, and change your clothes and that's basically the entire gameplay. You can visit islands of your family and friends to swap items, shop in each other's stores, and share special events/visitors that happen in one person's island in the game. The friends and family part is interesting because each island will have different fruit and flowers available. It's literally the only game I've ever played multiplayer.
Awesome. Now we just need the ability for self hosted runners[1] to support multiple repos. As I understand it, currently you need to deploy a dedicated runner per repo.

Yeah. Fun problem for beginners, because 1) your incorrect code may work for a while when reads/writes are small or it's only run on a local network or such, 2) you might design a broken protocol if you don't understand fragmentation, etc., which will tend to be harder than (say) an isolated client bug to fix, 3) the implementation-dependent nature of fragmentation can make it look like you hit a language/library/OS issue, 4) your language/library may or may not offer tools to help a beginner to implement a delimited or framed wire format properly (ideally with things like record-size limits and timeouts).

Not sure it says anything you haven't, but a StackOverflow answer on fragmentation (framed by asker as Go not behaving like C) is one of the more-read ones I've written: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26999615/go-tcp-read-is-...
Just like in nature, they survive because they are good enough, and don't experience enough competition to be eliminated by selection.
This looks more like a huge oversight than a malicious decision. I can't think of a good reason why a company advertising deliveries for a specific restaurant would redirect to a listing of similar restaurants. As an end user that would really annoy me; it's not like I'm going to change my mind and order Applebee's instead.

The only other explanation is that Applebee's is paying the delivery companies a fee to capture SEO acquired by them, which would be really scummy.

Wow, this is an absolutely lovely presentation of that result. Huge props to Hartnett for writing this piece! It's a perfect mix of intuitive and well-explained without being too hand-wavy and it's quite an interesting subject, too.

Again, big props to Hartnett (and Dimitrov, of course)!
Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control are great design principles that most capable programmers discovered on their own before they were given names. Having a worthless container instantiate everything via reflection and moving what ought to be compile-time errors into the runtime to enforce that is an unnecessary waste.
100% agree that shared mutable state should be minimized regardless of the paradigm used and further agree that it's generally not possible to totally eliminate it. I believe programming in a functional style helps on to adopt a mindset towards minimizing shared mutable state.

Also believe functional programming gets one to think in terms of function composition. Even in an OOP-heavy language like Java, one can find themselves developing complex operations as a composition of simpler, reusable operations. While Java may not have proper 1st class function nor solid syntax for working with functional interface, one can still think in terms of composable operations.
Mame has lots of great multiplayer games. As an example, we've been playing Trog and Gain Ground lately as a family.

Bubble Bobble is another obvious choice, but really there are thousands of 2-4 player coop games.

You can usually set the difficulty directly in the arcade machine setup, or by proxy by limiting yourselves to a certain number of coins.

A warning that unlimited coins can just make a game a never-ending grind because you don't have that failure/reflection loop to skill up between attempts and you can end up way beyond your ability to succeed by just feeding coins in.

How to Survive the Coming Recession
Why do you buy the things you buy?

Contrary to popular belief, consumers aren't as rational as they like to believe. And you and I aren't exceptions.

The truth is, we buy things based on our unconscious urges and emotional needs. We buy first, then post-rationalize our decisions. We tell ourselves a story. "I deserve it", "I need this", "They offer free shipping" or "It was a bargain".

But when a recession strikes, things change. People buy less, but they still need to buy things. So what changes is the story we tell ourselves to justify the things we buy.

When US ice-cream maker Häagen-Dazs entered the UK market in the early 90s, the UK was in the middle of a recession.

Not the best time for a luxury ice-cream brand to enter a new market. To make things worse, in the UK ice cream was perceived as a seasonal product, consumed mainly by children. But Häagen-Dazs believed there was a market opportunity for premium adult ice-cream.

So they launch an ad campaign to position Häagen-Dazs as a sexy, sophisticated adult treat.

That's why their ads made ice cream erotic. And the copy hardly mentioned the word ice cream.

Because of these ads in 1991 Häagen-Dazs became the most talked about ice cream brand in the UK. And sales rose by 398% vs 1990.

How could such a thing happen during a recession?

Häagen-Dazs didn’t realize at the time, but they accidentally created a fashion brand.

Because at £3 a pot, Häagen-Dazs was not only accessible, it was the most fashionable adult treat you could buy.

When the next recession arrives, build a positive narrative around your brand so your customers can also change the story they tell themselves.

One issue with this approach is that the industry has lost consumer trust in this specifically. That is, DoorDash used to keep tips, then there was public outcry, then they said they would change, but then it looked like they actually didn't https://www.businessinsider.com/doordash-still-be-pocketing-...

(I know this is about it being for the driver, but the overall point still stands, I think.)

> DoorDash uses our brand name “Saddleback BBQ” right in the advertisement.

> Possibly the most maddening thing is that if a customer clicks on the link, it does NOT take them to a webpage to order from Saddleback BBQ. It takes the user to a general page to order BBQ from anyone that serves BBQ. At the top of the list? Applebees.

This is a particularly egregious sleight of hand. It's a relatively easy click-through to write for DoorDash, and it would result in the customer getting exactly what they were looking for (instantly looking at Saddleback's menu options and probably ordering). But DoorDash isn't content with delivering what they promised! The customer must perform a secondary search within DoorDash just to find that same restaurant again, because Saddleback is nowhere within sight on the page they've actually landed on. It's sneaky because it seems like incompetence, but the reality is that they've absolutely done it on purpose so they can double-dip one customer and display ads to them from restaurants that paid more to DoorDash.
Yeah, this misses part of the point of a standup.
Very inspiring to read - wishing you continued success.
Maybe I was spectacularly unlucky, but in the last twenty or so years working with different companies and teams claiming to do agile, most were focused on the motions and the tools (stand-ups and Jira) as opposed to the spirit and intention.

Agile was and is nearly always used as an excuse to continue to make mid-sprint changes and push more work to the dev teams "because we are agile".

An understanding of the level of support required at the leadership level and the accountability that follows is rarely understood.

Interestingly over the past few years I am seeing more organizations migrate towards an iterative model with monthly cycles, and I've seen this work well with distributed teams with a wide range of roles (dev, UX, validation, tech pub, devops, etc.)

In contrast, I also continue to see true scrum work extremely well with some teams. They are all relatively small (6-8ish) with strong support from the EVPs or C*Os, mostly operating from a single location or timezone, have a good rapport with each other and openness up the chain of command as well as horizontally with the stakeholders.

That, to me has a large cultural component. Some teams can get there, and many won't.
The management of this pandemic, both here in the UK and in the US, has been appallingly poor. We're months in and we still don't really know all the symptoms or the various R values or the mortality rates. It's actually insane how badly we've done.
Fully agree this kind of practice is disgusting on the part of the platform sites.

And yet as someone who will never use each individual restaurant's website -- same as for retail, I just don't have the time except if one particular brand becomes an overwhelming part of my wallet spend -- it seems we have to be eying for a world where we do have aggregators making all these places available in one stop, but which aren't actively harming their individual pieces. At least for folks in the same boat I am.

While you aren't wrong, in this day and age it's not enough to simply pay. Even if you pay for something, you are still the product being sold. Why would a company leave money on the table, when violating people's privacy is profitable and there is no backlash?
