US foreign policy has obviously always been very far from perfect, but this kind of equivocation is destructive and pointlessly cynical. Russia and China aspire to nothing. Even if we fail them most of the time, at least the US has ideals. If you were given the chance to live in the US vs one of the other “empires” would you really choose somewhere else? For all our faults, you know the answer is no.

That AmEx have a website listing where the card can be used shows it is far less-accepted than Visa or MasterCard.

I'm not surprised supermarkets accept it. Does your local pizza takeaway, kiosk or bar accept it?
I hear you.

When Michael Jordan was an asshole to everybody, I hear they refused to have him on The Bulls and won multiple championships without him.

Remember how The Beatles decided it's not worth it and didn't make any music? What a great decision by them, nobody would remember them long after they're gone anyway.

When I look at giant corps with their HR departments and filtering out of anyone who isn't a 'team player' - I am inspired. When Microsoft announces another ground breaking product - I forget all about the mediocre music and art created by small groups of difficult people.

When I compare Steve Jobs and his lunatic behaviour to Tim Cook, I am reminded that getting along clearly leads to better outcomes.

It is corporate culture of getting along that inspires me. It is people who think like you.
what control do you feel is taken away from individuals? I mean, you discuss tickets with the rest of your team, but that doesn't seem such a big loss of freedom.
Wow nice to read.

I started with 3D Studio in DOS because I once saw a FLI file of a rotating clown's head. I was blown away by the lighting and decided to track down the software it was made in an start using it.

It would be great to see that animation again. Does anyone have a source?
Yes but you need your phone on you to pay at the shop right ?

So no batterie, money ? No network, no money ? Phone stolen, no money ? Phone broken, no money ?

What if I don't want to have a spying hardware on me at all time ?
The technical claims don't seem very far fetched. They're basically describing every banking "anti-fraud SDK" I've ever reversed.
They can be held accountable through the democratic process and fired. They cannot be sued.

You might find this of interest - it seems to be a cottage-industry spectrometer selling for £67: "The i-Phos can see wavelengths from approximately 420 - 980nm and their relative (though not their absolute) intensities." http://chriswesley.org/spectrometer.htm
It’s not infeasable full stop. Russia is tied together by a shoe string and Putin’s heartbeat. Ethnic cleansing is continuing in the federation. As long as that goes relatively unopposed ‘ethnic Russians’ will be loyal to Putin as terrible as that sounds.
I'm working on a "low" code platform for developers (use your IDE, write in the generated code, iterate / redesign / regen )

Docs are a bit MIA, so I haven't pushed it much yet, but you can check out the lib/gen dir and the Cue files for examples. I'm very curious to hear what more developers with strong opinions about low code think.

I want that protocolization too, although I don't hold out much hope that the monopolies in place can be broken, outside of fairly radical regulation.

To add to your list, there is also Secure Scuttlebutt [1] which has had a decent userbase over the past few years, and Planetary [2] which is a funded iOS client for it.

I think in general they all suffer from the chicken-egg problem and will need some reason for enough people to switch to be able to build a userbase. There isn't really any "novel hook" like tiktok, twitter, whatsapp, instagram, snapchat, etc have had in the past.

That's an insightful concise description of "agile" experience.

As an anecdote, I have an acquaintance who is a psychologist in silicon valley and he has mentioned he frequently works with patients suffering from mental health issues related to being subject to "agile" at work. I wish someone would do a proper study on this topic.

Personally, agile hasn't driven me to depression but it has made me target roles that avoid it at all cost. Life is too short and precious to suffer through a detailed status report meeting every.single.day.
If I blow up a production system through an error, my employer can fire me. They generally cannot sue me for the costs of their losses.

There can still be consequences, just not compensation for losses.
(The linked article is a piece of content marketing and not the reflections of an individual expert in the field.)

Typically for this type of article the merits of "Scrum" are debated without Scrum first being defined, thereby making any reasonable appraisal impossible, and inviting a "your doing it wrong" conclusion.

At this point I am genuinely unsure whether this is some sort of master-level content-marketing trolling which is expertly crafted to goad engagement from senior engineers, or whether it is just sloppy, misguided, business-school nonsense.
If scrum is any process designed by the team the term is worthless.

Sadly, scrum as I have seen it has been consultants preaching to the commoners how their rigid process is going to make them agile.

Scrum is just flawed from the foundations for anything but very routine work where you can somewhat estimate subtasks duration with any accuracy. But if your job is that easy you hardly need any fancy process anyway.
Shouldn't it be quite cheap to determine the frequency using a prism, using the angle of refraction? I think you should be able to use known missing frequencies in sunlight to calibrate your set up. Back in a minute going for duckduckgo
Sure, and that's true everywhere, but 'keeping your head low' often means neglecting the very activities that may bring you out of poverty. It's hard to 'keep your head low' if you wanna start a business, or another initiative to make the community better.

So, yes, certainly you can lay low and be safe, but this sense of safety comes at the price of prosperity.
> Don't be too hard on yourself for the teen-age years.

Just wanted to echo this and extend it for the older of us: don't be too hard on yourself for the past.
Exactly what democratic process are you talking about? We don't elect our cops, they're usually part of a strong union that prevents them from being fired and as you mentioned they cannot be sued.

So...how exactly do you expect them to be held accountable? These court cases were examples of the 'democratic process' and the court ruled that the cops have no duty to help you.
Thanks, I'll definitely look into those tomorrow.
Yup, I'm not fan of the 10x-programmer moniker. The true 10x-ers are those that multiply those around them by a small factor in some way. If you can help all the members of your team to be 10% more effective, that has a bigger impact than even working twice as fast.

Or find ways to reduce the workload. For instance by questioning if the feature really is worth making that complex.
As a manager you should think hard about what aspects of scrum are important to you and where you can let loose. This will heavily depend on the makeup of your team - how many experienced developers are there who don't need hand holding? How many of them will still deliver without some oversight? How many of them can mentor? How many inexperienced people do you have, how many will be onboarded in the next year? Things like that determine and change your development process.
A lot of non devs use it for Business Process Automation. Dashboards and forms for smaller data sets / processes mainly
>Russia and China aspire to nothing. Even if we fail them most of the time, at least the US has ideals.

This is ridiculous. Do you think China and Russia are operating like an ant colony or something?
Go tooling supports binary dependencies, where the only source provided by the packages is the documentation for go doc.

It just looks like everything is source code when not taking the effort to read through all dependencies.

It doesn't force companies at all, only those that are comfortable shipping source libraries end up adopting such languages.

I used to work for a company that shipped encrypted Tcl source code and provided the necessary interpreter hooks to access the code in its encrypted form.
Could you maybe just restate it? How are stolen items costs that businesses "don't directly pay"?
Convention in Europe is to mention the 'before taxes' number. To the best of my knowledge that is true for at least western Europe.
While the results certainly are pretty, I don't see how learning has taken place.

This cartoon filter still has the same issues as previous attempts, which is:

- omitting borders that are semantically important but have a low color gradient

- not collapsing small areas into lines

For the first issue, there's an example image of a picnic on white background. A human cartoonist would most likely draw a full outline around the white spoon, because it is important for conveying the type of object that this is supposed to be. With this algorithm, the spoon gets partially merged with the white background and without the reference photo I would have a hard time identifying it as a spoon.

For the second issue, kook at the photo of the Asian girl with patterned skirt. A human cartoonist would most likely observe the regular grid pattern and replace it with thin lines, thereby communicating that all of it is one same thing. This algorithm, on the other hand, treats each tile of the pattern individually, thereby making it look more like a crystal or crumbled foil.

I personally also prefer white-box algorithms, but there's no denying that creating a cartoon requires a lot of prior knowledge about which features to retain as important and which features to abstract away. As such, I see the real challenge in somehow producing good saliency training data for millions of images. I mean ideally you would want the 5 year video stream plus eye tracking data of a baby starting to grow up...
I think the first time was around the spring 2017. I could create an account, use the credentials to log in, but trying on several days the game never started. There was some "please wait" kind of screen and waiting for hours didn't help. With a Google account things worked right away.

And a bit over a year the same thing happened. New Pokemon Go account -> log in -> no game. With Google account has been working since.

So, my experience is two tries in the span of two years it did not work.
And still, nobody knows how it actually works.
I guess the idea that all 50 states can replicate this effort effectively is something you can believe.
I don't think you could have proved their point any harder.

The equating of sexuality (an identity) to sex (an action) and specifically targeting identities that are not straight _is_ the problem. Under Yahoo (and in a bumbling attempt to adhere to App Store guidelines), completely safe for work content (from discussions to screenshots from media to even teenagers venting or asking for advice) that happened to contain words like "lesbian" got censored/marked as NSFW - meanwhile content that was much more sex-related than that (e.g. a gif from a movie showing two straight characters kissing or getting handsy) would pass just fine. But of course, it's "twisting the debate" to find it absurd and obviously homophobic that a girl _typing_ about wanting to marry another girl someday is considered pornographic in comparison.
Maybe you're talking about something else but according to the features page [0], both importing and exporting issues as CSV is enabled for all versions of gitlab.

I refuse to use npm at all. Too risky.

I only use libraries if they can be added as a first-order dependency (i.e. in a script tag on the page). This is still risky, but I can mitigate it somewhat. And at least I'm not giving a bunch of random maintainers commit-to-prod access in my core code.
I've seen plenty of bad FizzBuzzers, but in general they are not very good at the higher levels of abstraction either. In my experience, they can talk the talk, and make sure the have a new job before the shit hits the fan. Which at that level might take 2-5 years, the timeframe for a major new application to completely develop.
> Russia and China aspire to nothing.

Not really.

Russia and China aspires to protect their perceived sovereignty. That is probably the most fundamental political ideal.

Also, China doesn't really treat HK as 'foreign'.

Last but not least, in a post-COVID world, I can't really say that US is even better for your physical well-being among the choices.
Nothing says fun quite like listeria-induced gastroenteritis!
Just wait until AR like the Hololens 2 comes out, all of UX and design changes.

Some examples are 3d fonts and signage, interfaces without windows (widgets just float wherever), whole new deaths of UI elements and building blocks. Oh, and the mouse is gone in favor of hand tracking and the most amazing digital interaction I have ever experienced. One week in and my mind is still blown by the possibilities.
Not sure why this is downvoted, so plz have an upvote!
In my company we hired a CSM (certified scrum master) and we definitely did Scrum by the book. But we didn’t do it right, in the sense that after 2 years our productivity was worse than when we started.

In my experience, Scrum can easily become a series of little waterfalls, rather than bring a flexible and needs based approach to building complex products. This lead me to see that Scrum is not really Agile, where by “Agile” I mean [0]. Scrum is a process and Agile is a mindset. Some teams are able to hold both ideas in their head at the same time. But in my experience across multiple large customers and projects, teams think that by doing Scrum they are being Agile, and this is not the case at all.

Scrum is no more a solution to the social and political problems of a project than is waterfall or the spiral model (which Scrum mimics IMO) or anything else. A good team will succeed regardless of the project management methodology and a bad team will most likely fail.

Scrum is not the problem nor the solution. It’s management’s job to ensure that the teams are working well, that people have room to succeed and fail, and that the project management methodology suits the needs of the project. That’s certainly where I failed my business for a few years, until I worked it out.

Yup, there are some that even accept checks.
Still way better margins than a grocery store (1-3% IIRC). Do you have any idea how turnover might compare?
What a load of rubbish. Most medium and large retail stores have a security guard at the door, and nobody is claiming they are treating all customers as criminals. Everyone understands they are there to stop the few malicious people from stealing or causing trouble.
Rails 6.1 tracks Active Storage variant in the database
After you've subtracted the effect of thousands of hard to measure variables like the slope, the tyre rolling resistance, the resistance in the wiring, the magnetic flux saturation in the motor, the accuracy of the current sensors, etc, etc, etc...
Org-roam supports unlinked references. In any case, that's super easy to implement (it's just plain search for the current document title in all other titles) and I expect others to soon offer this feature.
I actually just wanted to replace an icon size dropdown (pretty dumb idea if you ask me) with a slider and a preview of the size of the icon. The reason why I gave up is that I couldn't find the original repository. For some reason the KDE team decided to only link at https://invent.kde.org/ and never actually specify the actual repository. Heck, even the github mirror doesn't show the link to the real repository. When I search on invent I just find lots of unrelated forks. This wouldn't be a problem if they were actually linking to the damn projects.
Ada/SPARK does it.
I personally use RamNode (a very small, 128M instance as a backup DNS in their Amsterdam DC) and can't really fault them. They've been rock solid so far.
> it had 92 dependencies, including transitive dependencies, and took 5 minutes and 38 seconds to build.

What is it that triggers such a "full" build though? Obviously in some CI scenarios you might start from scratch, but in an edit/compile cycle, you'd never be hitting those 5 minutes, correct?
The US is an oppressive surveillance state with regular police murdering minorities, rampant white supremacy, and when not in the middle of catastrophically mishandling a pandemic, has a mass shooting every day of the year.

To most people outside the US’s branding sway there’s very little difference between a USA and a Russia or China
And what we know about drowning rates, which for black children are more than 5x as high as for white children.
The software was most likely Adobe After Effects. Like anything worth learning, it's a little bit challenging. Fortunately, there are many tutorials on YouTube to help you. I'd suggest you start with the basics (moving an object around the screen) and go from there.
So it looks like you need a bit more than a prism to see Fraunhofer lines, but there seem to be online description of how to do it with a with a prism and a CD, maybe you don't even need a prism, there seem to be 'make your own spectroscope' tutorials than mention building one with cereal box, and maybe a lens of some kind
That report could not distinguish between ISP and Cloud provider, also between Alibaba as an e-commerce and Aliyun as Cloud provider.
The report also complained about possible SQL injection, but the database it accessed is a local SQlite database. Who cares if you inject your own database?

Seems fishy.
It happens all the time. There’s a reason data recovery companies exist.
To sum up the article:

1. Discount chains come in, proceed to wipe out all other local stores through economy of scale.

2. Discount chains become the only option for people to buy food or general necessities. Said food is often low quality and unhealthy.

3. Said chains also invest little in security, pay little and return little to the local community.

Isn't it a failure of capitalism when there's only one store providing everything you need and results in a net negative to the community over a long period of time? It creates a defacto local monopoly. And when that discount chain becomes unprofitable or leaves, what do you think will happen?
It's also likely that 99% of users have no reason to share their email with you. Also, your app is extremely untrustworthy. It sounds like a random app you find by searching for key words. You're not Microsoft or Google, you have no reputation or credibility. They have no relationship with you, they don't know you, they likely have never interacted with your company before this.

If I need an email to verify I'm not a bot, that's fine. But if a trusted 3rd party can verify I'm not a bot, then the only reason you would want my email is to do something unethical with it: namely, use my data in a way that I never intended gave you permission to use it.

Being default probably helps, because most people don't know they're doing with software and just accept the defaults assuming they're best practices. If the default were to share the email, you might see more people sharing email, but I would argue it's because people don't know they can and should obfuscate it.
I thought so too, but I’ve cycled through hardware (some of it quite good) and the issues were consistent.
What Google Does with Your Data
@Symbiote:

Not sure were you were. I am from northern Germany, around Hamburg.

But every single store that does accept cards (not every little store can bear the fees, though) has theses signs.

So I would counter your n=1 anecdotal argument with an equally non representative n=1 argument. No one learns anything, except that some shops in Germany ask for the use of cash-alternatives, others don't.
The people of Tibet, Taiwan and Hong Kong are all feeling the same about China and now add India to the list with the recent tiktok ban.
Wait, why? If both of you have your location info turned on then this seems like a trivial correlation to make, especially since both of these are Google's own services.
> what aspects of scrum are important to you and where you can let loose.

Scrum explicitly does not permit that. A criticism that didn't make it into that answer.

As long as they aren't toxic, if you can't get the best out of brilliant loners, then, you don't deserve them, or possibly don't really need them. My experience is if the team culture is good, then they can fit in and you can accommodate their working style
Well, though titty.
Honestly, as a user, I don’t give a damn about the pains this can cause to developers.
The amount of spam and unsolicited email crap this is gonna save me from is worth it 100% for the users.
And as a developer, I honestly think that Third party sign ins are lazy solutions that empower data-hungry companies way more than they deserve.
If your business model relies on people giving you their data or reselling their email or using it for unsolicited purposes (these are the only reasons you would be affected financially by a privacy-driven solution like SIWA) then your business model is bullshit. Suck it up.

EDIT: I really love the downvotes from developers that are perfectly aware this is how the things are.
For a static website isn't something like Netlify easier (and cheaper, as in free)?
Maybe we should adopt these packages into es262 and make the shims available by default directly with the language?
Using a Buffer Microservice and Amazon SQS to Reduce the Load on a DB
Not all low code platforms use interpretation or dynamic code creation. I work on one which is language agnostic / polyglot (see other comment here) and have seen more examples from other devs / competitor demos. You can think of this probably more like code gen for stubs, but one place to write in Cue and multiple tech / language outputs (for our Hof tool).

You are right about the complexity hiding and difficulty therein. It's part of the reason ours is open source.
Try using that to get PO or PM role at your next job. You won't even get to interview. I know, I've tried. Really really hard. I've sent out 100s of cv's applying for pm or ba roles with ample experience at small companies, with tech lead role, re facto scrum master role. 15 years experience. With a c.v the a CTO helped me write. And got absolutely no where. 1 interview out of hundreds of applications. You just do not realise that it is impossible to climb out of the programming hole.
The fact that a police department technically has the option to fire a police officer for not acting to prevent crime (but the public has no recourse if the department does not do this) is hardly what I would consider to be genuine responsibility on the part of police to prevent crime.
I just simply push my commits to both GitHub and GitLab, which is trivial to setup.
I was using the "Google Mobile Vision - Text Recognition API" back then, which I think is part of their "ML Kit" now (both on-device).
The accuracy with that framework was great for full sentences/ blocks of text, probably even better with the newer version now?
