I think the writing was on the wall for a few years. IMHO Arm on servers is something that's been an option for quite long and the only thing that's surprising is how long x86 has managed to stay popular/relevant there.

Also, oss instruction sets like Risc-V are going to be interesting.

What went wrong at Intel is that they forgot to take the appropriate steps 10 years ago to avoid running out of options right now.

Ten years ago it was already obvious that mobile CPUs were a thing and Intel's attempts to penetrate that market failed around that time. From that moment they were living on borrowed time.
On top of this, there is also all the distributed information about the available quantity and quality of goods and services in a particular location. The knowledge that a bunch of good machine parts for a certain piece of equipment are gathering dust in some warehouse can be extremely valuable if that equipment is in shortage, and that kind of data is routinely the source of profit to enterprising people in the real economy. It’s impossible to gather and process all that data and to make it available to everyone. It requires a distributed effort of people and firms acting in their own interests.
Two thoughts:

1. There's a lot of stuff that is often thought of as "part of Scrum" that really isn't. To the extent that the parent post you're replying to is referring to these things, then he/she is spot on. Things like Jira tickets, story points, planning poker, velocity, two week sprints, yadda yadda yadda.

2. Scrum™ doesn't permit you to do certain things... while truly saying you are doing Scrum™. But nobody has any real authority to mandate that you do Scrum™ to the letter, as opposed to an in-house "little-s scrum" version. And if that is what works better for you, you should do it. The goal is delivering working software, not adherence to the Scrum Guide for its own sake.

This might be true. I need to the two things out of my bar at the moment: (a) going to those 10 sites i always go to very quickly (b) to run a search on some linux/css/react thing. Chrome does really well there, no matter what config settings I change in Firefox.

For the deep history I'm a pinboard user and bookmark at least a dozen things daily with tags.
Years ago, I needed to parse and view custom logs from our proprietary app, and I needed to do it now, so I cranked out a little Ruby script. But then I needed to share it with a non-programmer... so moments later, I slapped on a little Shoes GUI and it was good to go.

I believe the same tool is in use even now, over 10 years later.

Probably the fastest script-to-GUI iteration I've ever done, and a good showcase of Shoes' simplicity. (Although, the GTK gem is actually pretty easy to use as well, and my most recent conversions have been with GTK.)

Yes, but not works but is. Scrum requires trust and autonomy. Otherwise it is a set of non applicable tools, jumping with parachute under water. I argue Scrum with PM is oxymoron, like round square. I know it is rare, earlier it was easier to find.

Why discussion is about Scrum, not Scrum tools application and awful project management? The language is subverted, why do you help it?
Been using this for a while and loving it - it feels like functional programming for GUIs (“describe what you want the end result to look like, and the framework makes it happen” as opposed to “describe what steps to execute”).

I’m pretty sure a lot of frameworks have similar mindsets, but Hyperapp is the one that I found works with the fewest headaches :P (as opposed to eg React, where I spent hours simply trying to untangle the knot of thousands of dependencies before I could get step 1 of the quickstart tutorial to compile...)

As an example of how trivial problems require trivial code:

Hey, Garden co-founder here! Flux is a GitOps tool that focusses on the deployment of your services through the use of operators (usually to deploy to staging/production environments). Garden instead focuses on the cloud native testing process and spinning up production-like preview environments. We actually have a number of users that are using Garden to automate their development / PR review and Flux to deploy to staging/production. I think they complement each other quite well.

A few off the top of my head:

1) Chrome CPU profiler will display the amount of time taken against calls in line in your source JS files. FF does not do this.

2) Memory snapshots in FF are not sortable, and do not show distance.

3) Performance tab in Chrome allows CPU throttling, FF does not.

4) Performance tab in Chrome also captures much more info, such as node count, heap size, number of listeners, GPU memory.

All the above are very useful if you're building a high performance web app or library.

Yes, each airframe was essentially a completely different aircraft, although each was notionally built from the same plans. Bids for upgrades that were generated against a single reference airframe went massively over budget when executed because no two planes were the same.

The other thing that got the programme cancelled was the crash of Nimrod MR2 Aircraft XV230 in Afghanistan in 2006, as described in exhaustive detail in the Haddon Cave report [0 - pdf]. Part of the cause was design flaws introduced over years of updates, that interacted with each other fatally.

Yes, I wish there was a clear way to fund Firefox development. You can (and I do) donate to the Mozilla Foundation, although the funding relationship between the Mozilla Foundation and Firefox isn't clear. I believe that if Google's funding were to become insufficient, then the Foundation would step in to fund it if they have the funds, which is why I donate to them. But I don't know if this is actually the case.
It's been a word for a long time ... we used that when we were kids (at least in earshot of our parents). Searching for "dang" in Algolia results in (by a quick count) more than 80% of the results being for @dang (the person/handle) rather than the perjorative use.
Without even digging into the paper, let's be clear. They didn't find "they have memory trouble." They found, "they have trouble recalling sensations."

> "Our data also showed that individuals with aphantasia not only report being unable to visualise, but also report comparatively reduced imagery, on average, in all other sensory modalities, including auditory, tactile, kinesthetic, taste, olfactory and emotion," the team wrote in their paper.

I, for instance, am not aphantasic, but I fall quite close to that end of the spectrum. But I don't use mental imagery to store memory. When I am attempting to encode memories, I do so in the form of a narrative - narratives stick very effectively for me, and I have a pretty good memory (no one without a good memory survives medical school.) It's true, I can't just "remember" the image of relevant anatomy, but I'm fine with other mental models for encoding and retrieving information.
The problem is that the credit card "lending money" function is not what transaction fees pay for, and these fees are paid by all market participants -- including cash customers. People should be able to separate the payment function of a credit card (which is what merchants pay transaction fees for) from the "line of credit" function that banks make money on. However, this scenario would be less profitable for the industry, and so a small cartel of payment card networks and operators have worked hard to jam the two functions together. As a result, everyone (including cash customers) is heavily penalized for merely participating in the economy, unless they also purchase a profitable and risky line of credit.

It's frankly a brilliant scam, and the fact that people don't think it's a scam is its most brilliant aspect.

In Poland there’s really nice pay-by-link (you’re being redirected to your bank website, log-in, they display the merchants data and amount and you confirm it) and basically all the merchants support it. There’s also BLIK, which is a payment app started by a few banks which is gaining traction. This all is super convenient and easy to use.

However, I still prefer to use a credit card, because of the chargeback — the legal protections with credit cards are still higher.

—-

Edit: about “you’re paying the fees” — maybe, but most of the merchants don’t show different price or don’t charge extra for credit card payment. So why not use the IMHO better option if it costs me the same.

The reason why it may be useful to avoid blue light at night is that circadian rhythms and melatonin production can be disrupted due to ganglion cell stimulation. They are a class of photoreceptors that have peak sensitivity to blue light. They do not appear to contribute much in the way of spatial vision but are important to entrain day night cycles and for pupillary responses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrinsically_photosensitive_r...
There must be a prize for this kind of work.

"- 360,304 patients with suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection

- Of these 360,304
cases, 26,815 were confirmed by a positive PCR test. The rest had negative
PCR tests.

- In the set of patients with case definition, 1,292 received HCQ (at least 2 grams
per month)

- The proportion of HCQ chronic treatment was higher in negative patients
(0.36% vs. 0.29%, P = 0.04)

- We were able to show that patients taking HCQ have had reduced odds of
SARS-CoV-2 infection"

No joke, that is the basis for their claim. Just like "compared to those that we suspected could have tested positive, it turned out that among those that weren't positive there were more people proportionally receiving HCQ." I don't understand how that can actually prove something. One can surely find a lot of things that are proportionally more present in those tested negative, but without any meaning.
My experience is that after you have met someone once (for more than a few minutes) then video calls work a lot better than with people you have never met.

I guess you develop some degree of trust (and a stronger mental model) during a meeting that persists afterwards.
> There are plenty of problems with BDFL-style projects, but I think there are a lot of advantages too.

BDFL governance is extremely underrated in the opensource world. People attribute the success of the Linux kernel to its open contribution style, but I will argue that Linux is successful because there's a dictator at the top that enforces a direction, a long term goal, and most importantly, says NO.

Community based governance is a direct cause of that jwz's Cascade of Attention-Deficit problem one can find all over the open source world, especially Linux desktop related.
If you flip that around, it's possible that being driven by one man was a contributing factor to redis' success.

I know the "facts" that describe a generic dog, and I have a spatial awareness of how those parts relate to each other.

That takes time. Or funding. I have often thought "it would be great if I could suck all my emails and Facebook posts into a local search index." It sounds like this is that. If I wrote it I would have exactly enough time to make sure that all my emails and Facebook posts are in a local index and then I would have no more time for a personal project. Making a nice UI on top of it would easily increase the amount of time fivefold.
Yeah the FF bar completion is lightyears ahead of chromes. Chrome massively favors searches over history matches. I revisit every couple of months but it always is comically unusable for me. To the point where I visit only about 3 sites with my chrome, and even when I write the first 3 letters of a 4 word domain the default action is still a google search (with the correct site listed beneath but not default selected).

edit: So I just opened my very secondary chrome. I use it for Youtube listening mostly. When I enter "hand co" to find my often listened "hand covers bruise" song, I get 7 (!) google searches, and the 8th and last entry is the Youtube link.
I'm trying to understand how Turbolinks makes things faster. What I'm gathering is that it's the merging of <head> that helps. Because if you have stylesheets or scripts in your head that have already ran using Turbolinks will prevent refetching and rerunning those things.

The downside to the approach is that it cannot stream the HTML response, which is what browsers do, so you wait longer for the page to complete. But if you have a fast enough server then the gains from not rerunning scripts probably helps more.
The article is deliberately vague on actual research, and it appears that “computer-mediated communication“ may only be referring to Roghanizad‘s 2017 paper on email communication.

That's more of an artifact of how TDP is defined than anything else. I doubt that this could peg even a single core at 3.0 GHz given a reasonable cooling setup, let alone run all cores @ 3.0 GHz.

I think most people and journalists who speak about aphantasia are exaggerating or misleading others. If you actually are able to imagine an picture with your eyes open and have it cover the real world, that's called hallucinating. Some people can visualise things stronger than others, some cannot at all, but let's not pretend like actual visualisation (hallucinating) is the norm or that more than a few people on earth can do it.

I absolutely disagree, but I also feel it's unfortunate that HTML, CSS, and SQL aren't first-class citizens in most languages. It's strange to treat things backed by entire standards bodies and with fully developed ASTs as plain-text.

It seems unnecessarily limiting, and I'm not sure why; For the sake of history? "Division of Concerns"? How is it that using libraries meant for string manipulation upon a standardized format not a concern in and of itself?

The reason JSX, Mithril, PHP's template tags, ASP, Mustache, Twig, etc, exist is because we want to generate HTML - a language that has been standardized for decades - so why are we still playing around with string manipulation tools?
They are certainly part of Scrum-master training.

I am certified as a Professional Scrummaster, and none of those things were taught as part of any training I went through, nor were they mentioned on the certification test.

Referring to definitions is useful, when many people are misunderstanding the definition. If anything, we should be screaming from the hilltops "For the love of FSM, go read the Scrum Guide, and the Agile Manifesto, and show your managers and shitty Scrummasters what they're doing wrong." If we, as developers, are not willing to draw a line in the sand and take a stand sometimes, then what right do we have to complain? And if management won't listen to us on this, they aren't going to listen to us on anything else and we're back to "toxic management is the problem, not scrum."
For me reading is pretty much making a movie in my head. Characters have their distinct "voice", and I fully form the scenario as if seen through a lens. Like, the book is giving me the details and I put them together as a mental construct of sorts.

I noticed this "ability" is very useful for stuff like studying. Like, if I arrange the data to study in a table or graph, it'll be easy to remember the shape and colors of the table/graph, giving me a hint on how many elements a group has or stuff like that.

I used to read a lot as a child, unfortunately I haven't seen a book I'm feeling interested in reading in a while, so I mostly abuse this "skill" by drawing or making games.
