Different market and in the UK but there are no big supermarkets that currently deliver to non- vulnerable households. I ordered vegetables directly from the restaurant suppliers that had no more customers.

In the Uk Amazon had this policy too but in reality most non essential/but useful items were sent to me in less than a week.

Of course most of the very useful items were not in stock at all the first few weeks, and some still aren’t.

Edit: good lessons in not depending on one supply route and as a result I will buy my fresh food from smaller companies from now on.
That's the video I always share with people spouting the same old clichéd nonsense about how a digital signal can't be as good as an analogue one (and other variant clichés). His presentation style can be a tad annoying, but there's no doubting the utter clarity of his points.

I agree scrum is too heavy for a release every two weeks thing, what it's good for in my book is:

You have a very big project to make and you know exactly what it needs to contain, examples:

1. you have an application that users already use but you need to move off a platform by a particular time or you are screwed. So you know exactly what you need to replicate in the new platform (your current functionality) and you have a set deadline to do it in. For me it was the company got sold and we needed to be off of Thomson Reuters platform within a year or pay over $100,000 a month to use it.

2. You have entered into a legally binding contract and you know what the application is going to need to contain and what you can drop without getting sued or not getting paid.

If it is your own application you can always stretch timelines out a bit to get to where you need to be, or you can decide to drop features to get to where you want to be. But once there are other people in there you might not be able to stretch timelines of drop features, and then you need something that gives you a way of alerting you beforehand if you're going off the rails.

My wife (a music teacher) was a Mac only video editing person. She now uses Open Shot almost exclusively, even though for $40 I bought her Sony Vega (she was complaining about Open Shot at the time). I think Open Shot is a good gateway to Blender or other video editing tools. She does all her stay at home videos on Open Shot now because she can do it so quickly. I would say it took about a week to get really comfortable making simple videos.
That was around the time of the merger with McDonnell-Douglas. The 717 was actually the MD-95, so, you're basically correct either way. :)

Exactly this. Additionally, he HATES Amazon after what happened with his previous start-up diapers.com. Jet was another at bat against Amazon. Wal-Mart wanted his expertise and his drive to make them a true competitor to Amazon in the online space. It seems like it is working. The biggest problem is probably that the rest of Wal-Mart is not super agile and changes aren't going as fast as desired.
That is pretty recent, consider when the table saw was invented
No one seems to be asking what the data in question is? Surely the correct data was reported elsewhere? What was hidden exactly?
Right, the best thing about points is that they're not time.

If they're time, you get held to it. People vaguely responsible for your rumeneration might look at ponder, "Why did it take eterm 3 days to complete that 6 hour task? He must be slacking!".

Points abstracts it away, so you don't get held to account over how long work took but instead hold the estimates to account in a fair way.
So how exactly this is not one-to-one if we don't care about terms here?

I was thinking about this as well, I think it has to do with Wal-Marts supply chain, distribution centers, and relationships with it's suppliers. I don't know the answer, but does Wal-Mart have more pull then Amazon?

Also, regarding the article, Jet from my memory gave Wal-Mart the infrastructure for online sales, so it's not like they didn't get anything for it. If anything, they are likely playing accounting games and writing off the acquisition, thereby improving their return on investment metrics into the future. When you acquire a company, there is sometimes a penalty to ROI if you pay too much, shows up in the form of intangible assets. When you write off an asset, you are basically removing it from your balance sheet.
Resolve has a quite steep learning curve, at least it had for me without experience with other NLE. For my simple workflow it was too much and I backed-off.

Happy to see the recommendations here for video editors on Linux, will give some of them a try.

>complete waste of 30 minutes a day

As a former manager I had enormous fun tweaking and tuning the morning stand up to actually get it into a useful state. As with anything involving people there are complex dynamics, there are people who talk too much, talk too little, go off on tangents, only talk about what they want to do, don't mention blocks, insist on asking questions, Some talk too much- but only if they're the first to talk, some will always talk as much as the person before them.

It is very very difficult to get a group of engineers to have a productive stand up meeting.
Because the engine is proprietary in Epic land, and it's not here. Here I can make any changes I want and still release the engine as a fork. I can't sell that fork. In the case of the Epic engine, you're not allowed to fork it at all.
I think Prolog and logic programming will have a second renaissance. I think at the very least a general artificial intelligence would require a logical inference engine similar to Prolog.

Walmart could have a huge competitive advantage if they advertised that they don’t commingle stock and made it easy to only order shipped and sold by Walmart.com.

Although, Walmart also is known for accepting lower quality goods from brands in order to sell them at lower price, which isn’t much different from counterfeits, so I still wouldn’t buy from them.
Not sure; by definition a software synth can produce audio signal on the totality of the audible range. To control these we can use notes + pitch bend or some kind of continuous signal such as virtual cv.

So it seems that at least in theory it should be possible to produce any harmonics using just MIDI.

Why would one want to do this? 1/ It's fun 2/ It should give more control about what harmonics are actually produced so maybe more interesting to hear.

There are many MIDI effects around "harmony" but they tend to help with chord progressions, and not this AFAIK.
It doesn't sound obvious at first. Once you have a few years of work behind you, it starts becoming more obvious.

Once you see CEOs say "Everything's fine" one day, and 2 weeks later lay off 10% of the company (or 70% of my current team) with no real warning beforehand, then it starts becoming REAL obvious.

Being a freelance contractor, working 4 to 12 month projects at a time with different companies, I've seen quite a bit of crap.

But being a freelancer / contractor, I've built a client network plus a "radar" for potential trouble (e.g. company is re-organizing the whole tech team for the 3rd time in 3 years, or a new round of financing is coming up and the last 2 quarterlies were below forecast).
I suspect the author would disagree with your assessment, seeing how precisely he laid out the entire piece to appear as science.
What you're trying to argue for is more akin to redefining "clear liquid" to mean water, and then trying to argue I'm deceiving you when I sell you a "clear liquid" and it happens to be sulfuric acid.

The words "open source" have a plain pre-existing meaning. "Water" does not.

Now to go ahead and make your argument for you - this use of the term open source might be like if I went ahead and sold you (having to force this a bit, since I've failed to find a good example of a noun) insurance against kicking the bucket, and then I tried to define it as insurance against literally kicking buckets. Possibly you can find a better example, but that's the best I could come up with and

- "the bucket" clearly distinguishes the term from being merely descriptive

- Selling insurance against kicking buckets makes no sense, unlike "open source software" where "open" means "anyone can look at it"

- Kicking the bucket is a phrase with a much longer history than OSI defined open source software.
Not really production because the traffic is low, but I run http://ichi.moe on SBCL (Hunchentoot web server) and I never had to restart it because of memory leak or a crash. I usually hot-swap the updates and the same server process stays up for months. It also heavily uses JSON and XML and the libraries for them (jsown and cxml) are perfectly adequate.
There was a lot of talk and press about how Jet was struggling to integrate into the Wal-Mart way both technically and culturally.

What will happen to the Jet office and team in Jersey? Will that just become a Wal-Mart Office now?
what happened to Techcrunch to make it so shit? Like i'm sure even the people who work at Techcrunch hate how bad it has become. Did the company change hands or something?

I honestly believe the vein of this book being presented is "try hard and maybe you'll get lucky."

I'm sorry I can't find it, but there was an article on here a month or so ago called something like "to get ahead, focus on the metagame." The idea is to work on things that will help you get actual benefits in life. For example, spend your energy at work making sure your boss knows you do a good job, and forget about actually doing a good job. While some folks find that hard to swallow, it's how you get a high salary and promotions.
> They are providing awesome services I appreciate and take advantage of every day, otherwise I wouldn't visit them.

GDPR is there to ensure those awesome services aren't also taking advantage of you, by requiring them to disclose when they want to do so, and to ask you to explicitly agree to be taken advantage of. Clarity in business relationships is good, isn't it?

> When everybody is breaking the law maybe it is the law that is broken, eh?

Not necessarily, not when it's broken for profit and to the detriment of the parties that doesn't partake in that profit. Going by your law of reasoning, slavery and child labour should've never been banned (after all, "everyone" in plantations/factories would be found breaking that law), and environmental protections should've never existed either ("what do you say I can no longer dump toxic waste into the river?").
Good write-up and all, but it really these 'all it takes to be a millionaire is hard work' stories really bug me.
Yes, it does take hard work, but I bet this guy was already at least a little wealthy, and could dedicate all his time to his book.

Also, for this one guy that made it, how many didn't?
In my first job I reached a point where every day I'd wake up and I would quite literally dread the day ahead. It was hard to realise that I was suffering from anxiety and that I actually didn't enjoy what I was doing. I was fresh out of uni and I just thought that that's what all working adults feel like.

Looking back at it it's mind boggling how I didn't quit sooner.

If you are in a similar position consider if you're actually happy at your workplace. It's easy to tell yourself that "it's just a phase" and to "hold out a little longer" - more often than not these phases become the norm.
Maybe it changed more recently, but in the first couple years after acquisition they (WM and Jet) had very different approaches to things like search and there was a lot of internal conflict over whose was better. I think they pretty much just kept things separate as a result, so probably not a lot of long-term tech value attained by WM.
Can you link to some pre-registered studies of impact of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance?
Wow so insightful you should be a philosopher
In my experience IDs are checked very informally by most companies such as utilities, etc. GDPR access requests usually require a proof of identity and I very much doubt they are checked beyond the details on them matching the account so it can be yet another vector for stealing more data based on the passport. Banks are probably the only place where they may be checked against s lost/stolen DB but it won't prevent you getting your SIM & phone number taken over because someone impersonated you to your mobile carrier.
I am waiting for it
Why not simply rely on GPS time? Seems like a stable and universal time source that could be used anywhere.
I do, and the kind of stuff that I see greyed out at the bottom is usually something I see floating around the middle of the page in other popular communities.
Nothing in scrum says you release every two weeks.

Most modern scrum implementations, you release every story when you're done. The sprint is just a concept for planning what stories you're going to do in those 2 weeks, and retro.

Personally I think plans and information can change in 2 weeks, so I prefer kanban.

But at this point here isn't much between them.
I’ve had good experiences with scrum helping a team that has both experienced (10+ yrs) and junior (straight out of college) devs be productive. Letting the junior devs take the easy tickets allows the seniors to focus on the hard problems while the junior devs learn the system.

But that only works when management is willing to say “this ticket will be on the board for a while and that’s okay, we won’t harass you about it.” That is, scrum is decent for organization but bad for management.

A good tipoff is how long standup lasts. It should be no longer than 15 minutes for a team of six, and that’s stretching it. Aim for 1-2 minutes of talking. That’s more than enough to say “I worked on tickets X and Y, I’m stuck on A and making good progress on B.”
Easyjet have been a main airline within the UK for many many years. They may be struggling because of the current environment but this isn't a small operation who wouldn't have a security team.
We cannot go faster than light
No. It's not. I read the article and then when I didn't see it I ctrl+F'd for "harbor" and didn't get any hits. They have a section on big box store tools yet they miss the only big box store that is involved in its supply chain to the point of engineering (I don't know if it's in house or 3rd party) tools tailor made for them.
Overbooking is actually incredibly common. Every flight has some number of passengers not show up. Airlines prefer to compensate one or two people for the fact that they didn't get a seat, instead of leaving some number of seats empty.

Getting compensated should be practically instant though, and definitely not take a year, so something went terribly wrong there.
Personally I think numerical code should still mostly be written in C++, right now it still has by far the widest choice of options for doing so. It is also relatively easy to interface with python. For example both xtensor, libtorch/ATen, arrayfire have straightforward python interoperability via pybind11.

Finally no other language except for maybe FORTRAN has seamless parallelisation support and first class low level numerical primitives developed by vendors. Sometimes you will get a massive performance increase by #pragma omp parallel for.

Even for visualization some python libraries will suddenly fall off a cliff (Altair) once you reach a moderately large number of datapoints.

Related - I have recently been experimenting with musical effects based on breaking down a signal to any basis function of your choice. You can literally build any signal out of (nearly) any other. Turns out not to be a great audio effect as it tends to morph from one to the other via white noise in the middle in the general case, but with the right basis functions it's not so bad. At the extreme, in the case of sinusoidal basis functions ordered in increasing frequency, you've reinvented the filter sweep.

I plan to share on the blog at some point https://omnisplore.wordpress.com/category/music-creative/

Can we call it "sweat-year" or "work-year" please?
The point of a methodology isn't to follow the methodology

Then what's the point? If you cherry pick whatever you feel like, then why call it Scrum?
There are people who benefit from Scrum but they are mainly not developers.
> So I can just decide that "Donald Trump is a space alien" actually means that I'm gonna go buy a burger today

This is actually a rather good description of what the OSI did. They took a term with plain meaning that was already in use and tried to define it to mean something else.

Now people are getting mad when other people use the phrase "Donal Trump is a space alien" to literally mean that "Donald Trump is an alien from space".

(I can only assume that people have previously said that Donal Trump is a space alien... there are a lot of strange people in the world after all)
Remote Employees Shouldn’t Be Paid Less Based on Geography
I don't understand why Walmart doesn't have a customer supplied delivery program. Using the app, you would sign in when you enter the store. It would inform you of any deliveries within X miles of your home. It tells you how much you would be paid in store credit to do those deliveries. So you start shopping with say $33.50 already in your pocket. Then you just drop off a couple of bags at a few houses on your way home. Seems more efficient and cheaper than outsourcing to DoorDash or others.
Dimon says Covid crisis is ‘wake-up call’ to build fairer economy
I think it's easier to port everything elisp to Scheme (with some help by automation perhaps), than having an Emacs implementation in a Scheme that runs in all implementation of Scheme. I've worked many years in Scheme and the differences between compilers and interpreters are too large, especially when it comes to low-level functionality necessary for good performance.
They had some interesting experiments around pricing. Things like, you'd pay less if you didn't want to be able to return it for free, and gimmicks like that - but while those may be unique out of the gate, longer-term I feel very few have time to strategize around those aspects of most of their purchases, and speed-of-delivery has become paramount for most buyers.
This is a good point, excuse a quibble: 'werman' did not seem to actually see usage in Old English, although 'wepman', meaning male human, did in Middle English.

I'm basing this on a discussion at Wiktionary:

> Their point, that Old English mann was not specifically male, is correct; but their example of the specifically male word is apparently mistaken.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Talk:werman

And 'wepman' is documented on the Middle English Compendium.

Because it spreads the disease. To different populations that are all trying to stay separate and safe. Its a jerk move by people who, in the name of personal freedom, are infringing on others egregiously by increasing their risk of terrible disease and death.

Not really "already" since the attack became known in January, before Covid-19 decimated the industry. Were you suggesting that they were already struggling? They made a profit of over £400M in 2019 so it doesn't sound like things were too bad.

Of course, this news doesn't help them now, but it doesn't seem to me like "poor old EasyJet, down on their luck and now this".
It may be the case that a given tool/framework doesn't offer enough value in return to the cost of maintaining it, particularly if it is making breaking changes that your team is forced to consume for some reason.

What happens if you cut the dependency and stop using the tool/framework? Is there an alternative that is much less costly to maintain?
yeah, my work firewall blocked the site as 'online gambling'. i suspect this is going to be a common challenge when trying to get businesses to use your site.
Don't get tricked by the "GIF" names. Ex. Giphy will only use GIF if videos do not work. They mostly use video formats.

There's so many games on Steam that run native on Steam or really well via Proton. I abandoned Windows a few years ago with video games being my last hold-out. If it doesn't work under Proton or isn't native, the game is a hard pass for me.
Effectively nails it. OP sounds like he has bad product owners and ticket grooming, in some ways. Management buy-in to the different "forms" a ticket can take is important to avoid Scrum Masters making velocity charts and other various job-justifying tools that they display to themselves for themselves but hold their teams accountable for.
That looks super fun! Are they still using this? I was at MS a few years before that, still dealing with a few legacy things in A+. There were hopes that we'd switch to something like F#, but we ended up just re-doing most of the mortgage analytics in kdb/q, which was fun in its own way.
This is sad for me because Jet used F# extensively - one of the few non-finance companies to do so.
Because you cannot rely on non-employees to do the job correctly.
> Symmetrical clipping and square waves both create odd-order harmonics (3x, 5x, 7x, 9x, etc) which are very unnatural.

What do you mean by "unnatural"? A clarinet has mostly odd harmonics[1], for example. Clarinets don't occur in nature, I suppose, but they're not using electronics or anything either.

I skimmed it because I don't like criticizing a piece without reading it at all. It's such a vapid blog post that there was no value in reading it completely. It's just "Don't DRY, except do DRY" with a provocative title. If the title were actually honest about what the post is about, I wouldn't feel so annoyed with the post, but it does and I'm annoyed.
