Sadly because of the way our organisation works, the scrum master pretty much takes ownership of the whole process, he also sells agile to the business side. So if you go against what he says, the business will know that you’re a trouble maker, even if you had the best intentions.

Trust me, our team has tried, sadly the whole business wants to move to agile, and it’s shoved down your throat, wether you like it or not, or even regardless if it’s working for the team.

Eventually I gave up, the amount of energy wasted on these discussions is just not worth it. After a while you learn to say the right things, while also making sure you keep your technical freedom. Sometimes that meant not bringing up certain technical tasks, and overestimating others so that you have time for those other technical tasks.

Ok, I'll go into detail.

I recently subscribed to (patronized?) Hand Tool Rescue. His patron-only content is narrated versions of his restoration videos, which typically run 20+ minutes long. I have time to watch one maybe every few days.

To go back and watch all of his old stuff:

1) Visit patreon.com. I'm logged in, so it takes me to /creator-home. It looks like this: https://monosnap.com/file/PtG4Robbscnt7fns0omVO9a2D3IQul There are no links to who I'm following or content to consume.

2) After scratching my head a few minutes, click on my tiny persona icon top right, then click on "Posts from my creators". Now I'm looking at a blog roll of all my creators. There's a tantalizing "Patron Only Content" filter here, but that's for "all creators". There's a list of my creators on the left though, so...

3) Click on "Hand Tool Rescue" on the left side. Finally I'm looking at posts from HTR. But now there's no filter for Patron Only Content! WTF?

4) Let's see, where what was the last video I watched? Scroll down. And scroll. And scroll. Click the "More..." button. Scroll more. And scroll. "More..." again. Oh, here's where I left off. I think.

5) Oh, this is a 3-part series. Scroll down some more to the first part.

6) Open video in a new tab, watch the first couple minutes. Oh wait, I did already watch this part. Thankfully I didn't close the tab in #4 (learned that the hard way). Scroll back to the next part and watch it.

This is a trainwreck of UX. It's also pretty nearly my only interaction with patreon.com. I discover content on youtube and through friends, and rarely add/remove creators anyway.

All I want is to see is a dense easily navigable list of patron only content! Youtube is excellent for this - just a list of thumbnails. I really wish I could just pay HTR through Youtube.

BTW - before someone posts "You can sort inverse chronologically" - yes, I now see that you can do that. It still doesn't reduce the total scrolling. It actually makes it somewhat worse, because HTR's first couple years of videos weren't narrated. Ugh.
been looking forward to seeing FIDO gain traction for more use cases. i interviewed at a company where there's work being done on a FIDO-enabled smartphone approach:

Thank you for that information. Is there a reference that documents this somewhere?
I was wondering about an old WordPress just this week, related to the post content. In the past I managed to migrate a very simple WP to static pages with Pelican but I have a pretty complicated WP still running and it is a museum of lots of trips I did many years ago and I decided to keep it up due to the some rare info there (it's a RTW travel kind of site). I wish there was an easy way to keep the style, theme etc so I could get rid of WP for good and still let the site get old but still be there with its essence without damaging the visuals. I can't help but imagine the despair of people who would instead use a commercial product to create or host something like that, given even WP is hard enough when things get old.

...as for the site migrated to static pages, some posts are 15 years old, most of them are 10 and the most recent one is 5 so because the web is getting old I had to add a big disclaimer with a red background in every post stating things change, people change, the content and its form may change too so "please be gentle when interpreting it, the web is getting old" :-)

Right to be forgotten should be the default but I wish we also had the opt-in right to be remembered.
lol no you're not. call them up and they'll fix it.

Garmin Acquired Firstbeat Analytics
Cool, who here has tried Focals by North? I was thinking of getting them for everyday walking around and reading. My problem is I still don't understand what the interface is like. Can it project a screen to it or not? I'm perfectly happy to see a translucent IDE/browser window in my field of view.

There are no any LEGO parts on resulted output - flat 2D rectangle with 1:1 sides proportion rasterization with dithering is exactly pixel art technique.

Also, LEGO parts are 3D models (not flat 2D) & not limited to 1x1 tile or plate.
Firstbeat Analytics provides algorithms to Garmin and other Smart/Fitness-Watch makers. For example, they provide the algorithm that predicts Sleep Cycles from Heart Rate Variability [1].

Two reasons, mostly.

Aesthetics is a big thing - rackmount servers are ugly and, unless there are panels covering it, they are horrendous deskside workstations.

Another one is noise. These boxes are designed for environments where sounding like a vacuum cleaner is not an issue. Because of that, they sound like vacuum cleaners, with tiny whiny fans running at high speeds instead of more sedated larger fans and bigger heat exchangers.

HP sold, for some time, the ZX6000 workstation that was mostly a rack server with a nice-looking mount. If someone decided to sell that mount, it'd solve reason #1, at least.
What is prototype pollution in JavaScript?
FWIW, I probably disagree with you, but I wish we could talk about these things in a civil way. I think the PC/cancel-culture prohibition about discussing this stuff is a real impediment toward progress. Further, I don't envy the moderators since it's hard to keep things civil--bad actors on both sides come out of the woodwork. Anyway, have an upvote as a small gesture of peace and kindness in a world where disagreements are supposed to make us bitter enemies.
And obviously the people who invented and developed Bitcoin disagree. "Oversight and safeguards" translates in practice to "mostly ineffectual but otherwise repressive bureaucracy".

> writers do not opt in

That doesn't feel great. Telling creators that people are paying you for their work but they have to create an account to get paid feels shady. Do you make it clear when something I read is from a creator who has signed up and therefore will be paid?

If one of your users were to read something I published, would they see it exactly as they would if they visited directly? Same ads, same layout? Will the reader look any different to me as far as my analytics go?

Edit: Also, how do you manage abiding by all the crazy terms and conditions on different sites? For example, on your homepage is a link to an Atlantic article and their terms and conditions prohibit the use of their RSS feed for commercial reasons or selling access to their site. Do you have a deal with the Atlantic? Have they signed up with you?
Me too, p2k is perfect. Initial setup a couple of minutes, then it all happens automatically.

I suspect that for national security reasons, the US federal government and DoD would not allow Intel to fail. Still, the military and government aren't big enough buyers of microprocessors to keep Intel competitive at its recent position, and I suppose that TSMC's planned fab in the US could be seen as an alternative.
I have also reached a point of wondering whether I care about portability. I like the JVM ecosystem but I generally do not give a damn that the JVM abstracts the underlying OS to me since I have to go install it on the target somehow anyway.

If, tomorrow, I could generate native binaries and still leverage the excellent libraries that I can today, I wouldn't be missing anything at all.
I think it's more relevant how much each group drives. Everyone I know who drives a lot espouses how important 4WD/AWD is, whereas the people who barely drive at all aren't willing to pay so much more for it.
GDP is an inaccurate measure since it's really comparing wealth of nations and not total number of economic activity in nations. This metric massively skews economic activity due to currency conversion.

This can be easily deducted from population. More population == more haircuts overall. There is no way the US is getting more haircuts than China or India.

GDP (PPP) is a much better metric for economic activity overall. In this China has the US beat and India is third. Makes sense with so much population.
> I don't pay for anything other than my car/ house on monthly payments and nobody should

You should if there's no additional cost for doing so, because that's a free loan. The same quantity of money a few months down the road will be worth a little less than it is today, so you should give it to them then instead of now when you can do slightly more with it. If you can get either 1X and 2Y now or 1X now and 1Y later, you'd be foolish to do the latter.

And if you're thinking "but prices go down, not up", you're both wrong on average and also probably thinking about the exact category of goods (tech gear) that tends to offer interest-free financing.

What factors do you imagine would make it so that in, say, classic EverQuest people can form entirely online teams that work well together to accomplish lengthy tasks that require a high level of trust and cooperation that would not also apply to "real life" teams working to accomplish lengthy tasks that require a high level of trust and cooperation?
I'd have to budget it first. I already took over my partner's desk space in our home office and it wouldn't be fair to allocate too much physical space to my gadgets. There is already a quite massive x86 Lenovo tower server under my side of the desk that gets a pass because it's where her Mac makes Time Capsule backups.

Could the U. S. collapse “like Venezuela”, as the article suggests? Mmm, I think that has very low odds. But the fact that I’m willing to lay odds at all is a huge shift from if you had asked me 20 years ago when I might have laughed at the mere suggestion.
Building a thing is fun, maintain not. Especially if it is a tool, a tool for a specific problem and it solved it. But people want more and more functionality. Then you work on things you never wanted to do.

You take the exit, i can fully understand it.
You would need to know them personally. There are lots of big mining farms around the world, and many smaller ones. You would need to be friends with the big ones to pull anything like this off.
>I explicitly wrote 'NATO members'

You did. But you did it in a very snarky and condescending way that implied the parent commenter was an idiot.

Frankly, you sound a little too "wound up" to have a civilized discussion with. Even if you do have a couple semi-valid points.

Edit: You know what? I just glanced at your comment history. It's chock full of the same childishness. I'm going to disengage here.
Nice :) This would be a great tool even for private use, for reviewing how often / how long you got distracted (useful for the "quantified self" crowd).

Feedback: the first demo video you linked is still marked private by youtube.

Back when I used to make timelapse videos of physical projects, the most handy interval I found was one frame every two seconds: when playing back, one second == one minute, one minute == one hour. Easy to keep track of actual time spent. (assuming the output is 30fps).
Deep Drone Acrobatics
I don't know how Basecamp is doing, but when I see leaders freaking out and getting way too deep into online discussions about their products and organizations, I tend to think that there are two things going on - poor leadership skills combined with internal problems that are causing sufficient stress to break down their ability to make good personal judgments. That doesn't condone the behavior, but I'd recommend that you not take it too personally.

On a practical note, if they are truly harming you or your business, have a lawyer send a cease and desist letter, and find out whether you have any actual legal course to pursue. On the other hand, if it is not harming you, but just frustrating... let it go. Just because someone has a C-level position does not invalidate the advice of "Don't feed the trolls."
This new bar is why I stopped upgrading FF. with 76 you could change it with about:firefox options, then in 77 you had to use userChrome.css I got tired of trying to find a workaround for a piece of utility software. I shouldnt have to relearn functionality every minor release of a browser. I love FF, but Im sticking with 76 for the foreseeable future.
Going FIDO-SSH can perhaps be cheaper than PIV, especially if, as we very much want, FIDO is popular which will tend to drive down prices.

Cheaper/ simpler FIDO2 products (from Yubico) exist if this feature is the only thing you want from a Yubikey. I don't know if that's a future Yubico are enthusiastic about, but I don't see much reason to hate it as an end user.

Even cheaper and even simpler FIDO products (from many vendors) exist if you only ever actually want this from one or two systems (e.g. a laptop and then one desktop workstation) so you don't need resident keys because the "non-resident" part lives on your workstation.
Leave it in gear, that keeps it from rolling off if handbrake fails.

Always depress the clutch when you start. Even if you're in neutral, depressing the clutch reduces the load on the starter motor because it doesn't have to get all the mass of the transmission spinning. (This can also make the difference between starting or not if you're in cold or the battery is otherwise not doing great)

There are times when it's best not to use the handbrake at all.. (let me tell you how I found out: mine is currently seized and I need to get towed, sigh)

The dropdown takes up less horizontal space in the new version. But in the new version the URL bar itself becomes obese with unnecessary padding whenever you click in it. And that is was a lot of people hate about it.

No other input field becomes fat when you click on it. It is enough to just highlight the edges like the old version (And like every other input field) when you want to indicate that the input field is currently active.

It depends - at my work we use buildkite which is a “bring your own runners” build service, so caching is available by default, so long as the cache is outside of the project directory. For personal stuff I use GitHub and Gitlab - they both offer caching. GitHub’s offering is easier but Gitlabs is just as effective.

Cargo caches by default and you can specify the path that it stores artifacts. Most of the cache story is about what your chosen provider uses to specify build steps, etc

No, but the higher the memory bandwidth, the sooner those processes can get back to their inefficiency.
>There is a certain amount of irony here, due to this comment's presence on as heavily moderated a forum as this.

The difference is that on HN the political content (so far) remains contained to a few articles every now and then, plus you can still read 'flagged' comments. Even if I have a strong political opinion I prefer HN in this curated way.

On Reddit on the other hand every major subreddit gets politicized eventually (/r/pics, /r/news), on-topic discussions being derailed to shout about Trump, calling people "Nazis" and the mods will rather ban or delete the posts that call the activists out or which cite 'inconvenient' facts. Complete threads get nuked in the most intransparent ways which can be seen using third-party tools like https://snew.notabug.io
Inside the major subreddit only one side (the 'Left' side) of the political spectrum is allowed to voice their opinions even if those were off-topic in the first place.

Yep. And the genealogy work-up wasn't, to my knowledge, submitted directly as evidence. It was, rather, enough circumstantial evidence to support allocating police resources to a direct DNA-harvesting operation, where they found a 1-to-1 match between him and the evidence of the killer.
I think it's hard to generalize that living in Manhattan without a car is safer and healthier than living in, say, Vermont with one--especially if you rent cars for weekend and other vacations. Depends of course on location, lifestyle, commute, etc.
Why do you think this won't keep a single core at 3.0GHz?

You can get ~3.4GHz average sustained all-core speed on a 3990x (64-core, nominal 280W TDP). This is with an off-the-shelf AIO cooler.[0]

Note: top-end air coolers are often competitive with AIOs, and can be had for $80-$100.[1]

If you're buying a several thousand dollar CPU, dropping even $500 (much higher than you'd need for closed loop liquid or high-end air cooling) on cooling doesn't seem unreasonable.

Its likly to be largely an illusion; There was a talk from a neurologist years ago, when he demonstrated that mental images don't act like real images.

If you picture something like a pirate, and someone asked you about the scene, eg; what color are his trousers, what kind of shirt.. You will get a question that you don't instantly know, your mind will quickly 'colour/paint in' so you can answer, but the important part is that you didn't notice that bit was missing before you were asked, which is not now a real picture acts - you would have noticed the pirate had no trouser without needing to be asked about them.

eye-sight itself is an illusion to some degree, eyes don't send images, they send data that is re-assembled into a construct of abstractions, aka you don't see a cup until you know its a cup. there are a lot of optical illusions that exploit this.
Getting them now is probably not a good idea, because:
