I would like to see wider adoption of Racket. I spent six weeks earlier this year evaluating and comparing Racket, LispWorks Common Lisp, and Swift for an application [1] I am working on. I ended up not choosing Racket, but it was a very close decision.

As a modern Lisp, Racket really has it all: vibrant user and dev community, portable GUI support, easy to make standalone applications, and great libraries.

Waves in water are surface gravity waves, which air does not have. Because water is pretty incompressible, high pressure causes a water column to rise against gravity. The rate at which the column falls back down is obviously dictated by gravity. The faster the frequency, the more a pressure wave acts like a real pressure wave and less like a surface gravity wave. Since real pressure waves don't rely on gravity for transmission, they travel far faster, resulting in dispersion[1]. You can still have square waves as long as they are 10-100x slower (longer) than normal waves.

Since air pressure does not typically produce a height difference in the atmosphere, standard sounds in air are not subject to dispersion and act very differently from water. There is obviously still a limit to the rise/fall time of a square wave, when the transition is more like a shockwave front, but that's a very square wave.

What I don't see in this article, is how can I (as an EasyJet customer) check if my data was breached?
I couldn't decide on this one. When I centered it, it didn't feel quite right. I searched the web for examples, and found a lot of left aligned examples, so I went with that. I also had this in my design decisions, but because I hadn't really decided yet, I took it out.

I'll try centered again.

I really think you're missing the forest for the trees. His point was simply a big task can be broken down into smaller tasks that don't necessarily magically fit into 2 week chunks, and if you pick tasks that you know you can do within 2 weeks, often you're picking between 1-2weeks worth of work, and then the work stretches to fill the time.

It's not about how many actual endpoints there are or how you actually choose to split the tasks.
do you like the asynchronous nature?

for me, the most valuable part of planning poker is when we see one vote that's way out of line with the rest, and that person explains their thinking, and some important discussion can take place. with asynchronous voting, i would imagine you'd get a fair bit of "oh, yeah, to be honest i don't remember why i gave that one an XL".

to be honest, i don't even see the point of keeping votes anonymous. if there's enough judgement in the room that people are ashamed to honestly say how difficult a task would be for them, i think that's a larger problem.

It can be cheaper to host own (desktop-grade) hardware instead of paying someone to host a stupid single website. The calculation is easy, especially if you only take into account electricity and not hardware purchase costs:

Monthly costs per watt are around 0,3EUR/kWh * 24h/d * 30d/m/1000 = 0,2EUR. That's roughly the price tag for keeping a raspberry pi on 24/7 (yes, it's below 0,2EUR/month). For an average desktop/laptop, which will consume way less then 30W in idle, it's 6 EUR/month. The price of an average hosting offer.

I would definitely agree that it depends on what kind of scientific computing you are doing.

For big numerical stuff and things that need to run on supercomputers, C/C++/FORTRAN are definitely very relevant and I don't see that changing. Likewise for edge stuff that has to run on bare metal or embedded, I think we're still going to be using C/C++ for a long time to come.

"Scientific computing" is a huge range of different use cases with very different levels of numerical intensity and amounts of data. I doubt very much that there would ever be a one-size-fits-all approach.

However in the context of the OP, I'm arguing that Go would be preferable to Python for the purpose of writing bioinformatics models, and certainly more suitable than Lua or JavaScript.

Of course Python can sometimes be very performant if you leverage NumPy/SciPy, since those are ultimately bindings into the FORTRAN numeric computing libraries of yore. But if we're talking about writing the inner loop, and the choices are Go, Python, Lua, and JavaScript, I think Go is going to win that on the performance and interoperability fronts handily (I omit Crystal, as I am not familiar with it).

Totally!

- How do you know you need 14 endpoints?
- What do they do?
- Do you need them all delivered in one go? Why?
- Can you make something, useful to the bulk of your users, with three or four endpoints?
- Who uses the endpoints? Can they do some of their work whilst you make your endpoints?
- What goes over these endpoints?

All these, and more, affect how you build and what you build. Scrum, and agile in general, should help you organise the work (where "work" includes planning, design, collaboration, as well as build and release), and gives you space to improve the quality of the work (when it's done well).

Browsing Wikipedia briefly, Techcrunch has been owned by AOL since 2010; AOL was acquired by Verizon in 2015; Yahoo! was purchased by Verizon in 2016; AOL was merged with Yahoo! to become Oath in 2016, and I believe all of the above mentioned subdivisions are now circling Verizon's toilet. They're just trying to find ways to monetize before the flush happens. If you're going to die anyway, why not make a few bucks selling out your users?

Acquisitions are bad, folks.

I look at it this way: Agile is a bare-minimum project management methodology. That can mean different things for everyone, so look at "traditional Agile practices" as a menu rather than a recipe. If scrums don't work for your team, then either don't do them or find a way to make them more useful.

I've always felt that most companies do "scrums" wrong. It's not supposed to be an hour-long status report; it's supposed to be a 15-minute check-in to identify blockers and connect people so those issues can be addressed outside of the scrum. A good scrummaster should be able to clamp down on the "status report" aspect of it, but it's really hard to find a good scrummaster since it's largely seen/compensated as an entry-level position.

Did you work at many different companies, one or a few? It's interesting to me because I don't recognize this at all.

Quite the opposite. Standup take no longer than 15 minutes, we frequently address issues which otherwise would have led to lots of rework. You need some discipline to do it right however.

Lot's of engineers are afraid to ask for help, or too proud. The standup helps people get help sooner. It also often shows where two people are actually doing the same thing, take a wrong path, help prioritize etc. I can't imagine a software project without a standup anymore.

It's funny, if I would pick out the two single most valuable things out of agile I would say standup and peer review.
not everyone has the ability to host. especially young people who live in student housing, or in a shared apartment, or even still with their parents, may not be able to host, but those are the ones most likely to travel and look for a couch.
There have been some comments about staying off HN (or any news site). But some tech news can further your knowledge and skills...so instead of foregoing news altogether, just don't make it the first thing you do in the morning. Instead, get some nugget of productivity done first.

Productivity, for me, has a strong "momentum" component to it. Once you get going, it's easy to keep going as long as you can keep distractions down. But if you start on a news site, that sets your momentum for the morning in the wrong place.

Another thing along these lines are to leave a task unfinished in the evening so that you have a place to jump right back to in the morning (balance this with the ability to not think about work after work).
Interesting reading!
But I take issue with the title. The article says

"Laser Interferometer Gravitational Waves Observatory" (LIGO) in the USA, are able to detect these waves.

So not unseen, in as they've been seen :)

Curiously, its the fact that there was no visible light, that suggests it was this particular collision. Vs two black holes or two neutron stars. So I guess an indirect observation. Boy are astrophysicists clever!
Yeah, excess deaths are probably the only reliable metric we have anywhere at this point.

Over here in Poland, I've heard enough rumors in April that obviously-COVID-19-related deaths aren't counted as COVID-19 deaths because of a technicality, so I'm not giving much confidence to our official stats either. But it's harder to cook overall deaths.

I have had two bad workplaces and one good one. The best I saw, at the good one, was that if something went wrong, we would figure out WHY and how to prevent ourselves from doing this in the future (constructive approach).

The bad places, everyone was about pointing fingers at other people (the worst being those reviewers who blamed first years!) and yelling / lecturing but not problem-solving why the workflow allowed this problem to arise.

I have heard from some friends who do manage to work someplace where their manager expresses appreciation for them frequently.

My point is--I think there are better workplaces out there! (Right now I work for myself which circumvents most of that stuff). But if I was looking for a new employer, my new minimum criteria is that they at least have to handle problems by problem-solving, not drama.
This is a great idea!

Sometimes I take time from some task to do things like this, but as this time off isn't a regular ocurrence, once it does happen, it ends up taking a lot of time, making me feel like I'm delaying an assignment. Small but regular steps like this could help with this feeling.
If saying "I spent all day in front of whiteboard trying to work out the best solution to this problem" isn't an acceptable thing to say in your daily standup then your project manager needs speaking to. With my team not only is that acceptable, but we include cards in the planning process for specifically that sort of thing, with a note on them saying they're going to spawn more once we have an idea of what the solution actually is.

"It is very very difficult to get a group of engineers to have a productive stand up meeting."

Most likely because it's such an artificial construct. There are some people who will only talk when forced to. Others just won't shut up. Others try to embellish because they may not have "enough" to report at that time and don't want to look bad.

Ultimately, my experience has been that stand-up meetings slowly devolve over time into status reports, people don't listen during meetings, and if someone needs to know something, you pull them aside later talk with them (because it's almost certainly going to take longer than your stand-up allotment).

I just can't see any actual benefit to this process that was invented out of whole cloth (not to say that trying new things is bad - even invented things; rather, they should be tested and measured). What can't be measured can't be invalidated.
We're going with 3. Every state is focusing intense efforts on those things.

> Scrum is a way to take a below average or poor developer and turn them into an average developer.
It's also great at taking great developers and turning them into average developers.

Given the available pool of poor/average/great developers, this may be the correct decision.

Model: There are a1, a2, a3 developers of poor/average/quality. Poor developers cost p1, have a default productivity of q1. Average developers cost and produce p2, q2 and great developers cost, produce p3, q3. Scrum brings everyone's productivity to q2. Note that no one gets a raise or pay cut.

Without Scrum your total payoff is

a1*(q1-p1) + a2*(q2-p2) + a3*(q3-p3)

With Scrum it becomes

a1*(q2-p1) + a2*(q2-p2) + a3*(q2-p3)

So what you need from Scrum to be worthwhile is that

a1*q2 + a3*q2 > a1*q1 + a3*q3

i.e.

(a1/a3) > (q3-q2)/(q2-q1)

Now, let's say 60% of programmers are poor; a1/a3 is 1.5.

q2 - q1 > 3q3 - 3q2

So even if poor developers improve by 1/3 while great developers are downgraded by 1, we're better off.

Can anyone recommend a good WYSIWYG editor (for non-devs) for making static sites that is not tied to hosting?

ie. I just want to output a folder of /html.
Estimate the work that comes in, commit to that work for x amount of time +/- 5-10% variance, evaluate ability to finish it all, and re-balance accordingly, all in all is a pretty effective productivity approach.

When the alternative is a near certainty miss of waterfall and tremendous, tremendous cost overages, then scrum starts to look like the less ugly dance partner.

Consistent challenges I see for anti-Scrum arguments:

1) Their POs are doing a horrible job defining what an MVP is, or the devs aren't following good MVP practices. The MVP solution as something that works outside of Scrum is well proven in numerous other contexts, regardless of what a developer designing an API may think.

2) Their Scrum Masters are allowed to turn into managers, not process governors. The silly SM metrics SMs start to make to increase their job justification suddenly govern teams and paychecks.

3) Their management doesn't understand what POs and SMs are really supposed to do.

4) Ok, present an alternative to Scrum, waterfall, in a way that works with financial reporting and accountability to the people that pay the bills and paychecks. This is the major sticking point. Criticize Scrum :thumbsup: Come up with an alternative that meshes with the reality of software the profit-seeking business :silence:.
