> Have you forgotten to have retrospectives? Yes, the first 2 weeks, the stand-ups is badly place, then the team talks about it and chose a different time. (Remember the team decides the time, not management or Product owner), management only gets to decide that you are doing scrum, which means you need to have the daily stand-up.

Sure, that's the orthodoxy, and assumes the team is actually empowered to do that, but agile-as-practiced often doesn't actually address the problems that it was supposed to solve. In many ways it just replaced one set of ceremonies with another, leaving the fundamentals unchanged.
I think their recommendations are really, really good.

To help the system you can click "not interested" to recommendations that you don't like, and you can also click the bell next to subscribe to get always get recommended and notifications for the creators you like.

Usually if I don't like the recommendations on the front page I just refresh, I get different ones.

Recommandations are hard because even for you, as an individual, they differet from one day to another and even from hour to hour, based on what you are in the mood to watch.
Buy a different game from another developer.
Does it include videos from platforms other than PeerTube, though? If it doesn't support at least YouTube that's going to be a huge uphill battle to adoption.
afaik, MySQL never had a better replication story than PostgreSQL, you've always had to use Percona's add-ons to get something workable. Even then (many years ago), we had multiple data loss incidents that were precipitated by widespread internal confusion over the bizarre intricacies of `binlog_format`.

Like most software that gains adoption, MySQL made some very broad claims about their software's capabilities and never really delivered on them, at least not in a way that would be considered production-ready by Serious Persons(TM).

That's the crux of MySQL v. PgSQL, Linux v. BSD, etc. Good engineers spend their time building good software and are generally too focused on that to spend much time going around and making outlandish promises. Postgres has benefited from Oracle's intentionally-bad stewardship over MySQL, but it doesn't usually work that way.

I don't have fiber, so I'm at the mercy of how much demand there is for Comcast at any given time. Sometimes it works great, other times not so much. I'd rather just install games locally like with Game Pass, Steam, or EPIC. My local computer can handle these games just fine. I'm definitely not the target audience since I can afford the hardware.

The only place I can think of in the US with fiber are university dorms.

Outside of providing a cheap substitute for hardware, the only other use case I can see this for is for MMO's that have drastically changing environments like Rec Room, VR Chat or anything like 2nd Life
I think skype is exhausting not for this reason but because algorithms cut speakers out when someone else starts speaking for echo and feedback suppression. I wish there was true full-duplex mode that assumes everyone is wearing headphones, so there aren't any reverberation concerns.
Punish Abuse not use.

While yes there are very dangerous drugs that can cause addiction there is ZERO evidence that large scale criminal prohibition reduces the number of people addicted to those drugs, assists anyone to become clean or does anything at all to resolve the issue of addiction

In contrast there is A LOT of indications that even for very dangerous drugs that can cause addiction criminal drug prohibition makes the problem WORSE, creates worse outcomes for the general public, erodes basic human rights, and wastes resources that should be put into treatment instead of criminalization

That doesn't really explain why they re-recommend previously acted-on videos though. You won't watch them anyway so they basically eat screenspace that can be used for some novel videos with ads that you will watch with a higher probability, there is no real lack of those now.
So crows could build a jumbo jet, they're just lazy? It's pretty obvious that animals lack any type of intelligence even close to human ability. It's not even in the same ballpark.
It would only be category 3 if all the murders looked like suicides or accidents - if we didn't know they even were murders.
I don't think that about HN, or anything close to that.

The same as with any other (private) company. You have to deal with the majority shareholders and the board/management.

It's not like you have any more control if the company happens to be public anyway.

Also, big companies, private or not, in most countries have to retain an accounting auditor.

Also, if you are a member of the company (as in you have equity) the management has a fiduciary duty toward you. (yes, yes, sure, in practice that means very little, they can siphon off the money in many creative ways), but usually people who are already minority owners have some trust in the majority owners.

In some jurisdictions there are rules about what kind of mechanisms are available for the minority shareholders, and usually the get a board seat, and so they can kind of try to audit the majority.

And in the end they can still sue, or threaten to sue, or whatever. That usually doesn't help with the valuation, and since the majority has more to lose, they can usually work out some minimally satisfactory deal between themselves.

Aaaaand if not, we can finally get the popcorn, because then usually it gets dirty and juicy.

The current problem of IPFS is that it requires a standalone app. Is there going to be a browser only version based on WebRTC and similar technologies?
I know this isn't your place to fix, but honestly align with your scrum master and just stage a walk-out of the "parking-lot" meeting for you and the team. You should not be required to attend this.

After doing this a couple of times people will realize that there is something wrong if you have to spend 45 minutes a day digging deeper into issues. Poorly planned spring backlog? A non-existing product backlog? There could be many issues, but trying to "patch" them by doing things wrong.

> Also I take any opportunity to vent about these stupid "agile" methods, sorry.

So I'm sure you've raised these concerns at the end of every iteration at the retrospective right? Please tell me that you didn't throw out the retrospective and the process for venting frustrations to facilitate change and then start changing the process completely and then end up being bad at this thing you are doing which definitely wouldn't be scrum then.
WHY I LOVE THIS--I've never laughed so hard while reading an HN post.

Great job!
I read so many documents on "semantic web" and still do not understand what it means.

Must be a MBA thing.
Don't want to pay 30%? Don't develop for the platform then. I really think all these guys trying to change a company's own ecosystem's rules that the company itself created, are paid actors. I haven't seen a more flawed argument then knowing the exact rules of the ecosystem, which is owned by a company, and trying to change it. It's their company, their platform, their rules. It's been the same way since the beginning. Get over it. Simple as that.
no, you're SOL on that one, but fortunately strategy games don't (usually) have very high spec requirements. I have geforce now and used Stadia before, and use them to play the high-end games I have on steam that I wanted to play but would never bother getting an actual machine for. A decent gaming rig is worth more than I'm willing to pay for, so this is a good compromise.
>But how does that work? Well, a paid service called Pinata is part of the official tutorial. No other service is mentioned. I am sure others exist but how is this going to be different than what we have with the web currently where a huge portion of content is served by a single company (CloudFlare)?

Besides that there are other pinning services or that you can run your own, you can use multiple at once, and it's also possible for your site's users to help contribute without needing any coordination with you. I'm really excited about the part that users can help host things, even after the owner dies or otherwise gives up on hosting a project. I've been disappointed by how often I find old URLs to pages I've liked stop working; I'd love if I could help continue hosting those pages on their original URLs so they work for everyone, and IPFS seems like a step towards that world.
> I think climate change is the most pressing issue. I’m a believer. I look at the California wildfires, COVID-19 and other weird diseases, like mad-cow, as symptoms of climate change.

This sort of total lack of clarity of thought is distressingly common. For example, tracing everything to climate change, and BLM conflating racial issues and gender issues. Those causes would be well served by ceasing to give the impression that their proponents cannot think clearly.
Yeah, this is basically closed source software with source code available for viewing. Just because Microsoft allows the windows source code to be viewed by some institutions doesn't make windows open source. There's room for debate on open source vs. not open source thing but I don't see how this falls into the gray area. When you're not allowing forking and distributing modifications then I feel it falls squarely into not open source.
In the US, we don't typically have employment contracts. Facebook was serving up 2+ meals per day. At (a modest estimate) $20/day, that works out to be about $5k per year. That's not an insignificant amount of cash to some people.
So it's really "Californian water", and even that may not be very accurate (it's a big state), one would have to study what exactly goes into the index with what weight.

I wonder if it will help the farmers in the region hedge their production and also would it improve price discovery. The open interest will tell us.

Doctors can already prescribe dangerous and addictive drugs. I don't see why we can't let them also prescribe other dangerous and addictive drugs.
If you had to pay to rent a truck and also pay to hire workers to move it in and out of the truck and then up 10 floors to your apartment, then yes, it wasn't free, there is a real cost to you. A cost that you saved me because I didn't have to pay someone to take it to the landfill. So I would actually be saving money despite that it looks like I gave it to you "for free". And if I was really crafty I'd have suggested for you to use a particular moving company and then I'd have charged them a referral fee.

(Of course this is a somewhat cynical view, and this isn't even getting into the other costs associated with second hand furniture -- anything with upholstery carries a risk of containing mold or vermin and you may need to pay more to get it cleaned/sanitized)

Criminalization helps nothing, achieves no positive goals. Quite the opposite. We've been trying this for about a century, we've seen the results. At some point you have to act on the evidence.

We're talking about maybe a slight increase in health issues (legalization does not imply a significant increase in use, eg cannabis usage in the Netherlands is pretty average for Europe), as opposed to the entire monstrosity of the War on Drugs, including the empowerment of violent criminals ranging from local gangs to international cartels.
Show HN: Our new developer platform is live
Over the last 6 months we've spent most of our free time developing our side hustle. It's called TrueQ and is a new Q&A platform for developer.

Of course we know there are a handful of other platforms out there which already do this job, but we strive to deliver a platform which really focuses on its community and gives you a nice UX when describing your software development problem or providing an answer for it.

We have many plans for the platform and are already developing future features which will make the platform more unique. Nevertheless after 6 months of development in complete privateness, it is time to tell other people about it and gather feedback - that's why we're here.

We would love to hear what you guys are thinking about TrueQ and would really appreciate if you help us building a new community by spreading the word and start engaging with us on our platform.

If you're interested about the tech-stack or want to know more about our journey you can read about it here: https://trueq.io/our-journey
Does Apple allow developers to just charge 30% more when users sign up through iOS, and just note in the app that access to the service though iOS costs more?

Seems fair to me, and let’s consumers know where the money is going (to Apple, presumably to pay for ecosystem things like app privacy and security reviews, billing, etc).

If users don’t like it, then the market will do it’s thing right?

It’s unclear to me what types of messaging Apple bans developers from adding though. Like is it ok with Apple for me to build an app available on web for a certain price, but block access via native iOS apps unless the user agrees to a 30% increase to cover the Apple tax?

I think this is what I would want to do if I operated a subscription service available via native app in the app store.
I would urge caution in interpreting motive from animal behaviour. To my eye that crow could just as easily be attacking the hedgehog as helping it.
It's hard to store, transport, and handle though, so I don't think it has much of an advantage.
I am also a developer, I love tinkering, but my router and especially my phone, I want it to just work. I need my phone, if I could tinker with my phone it would be broken half the time!
My crow story, which I think I've mentioned on here before.

We have young children, and thus the back of our car is always a little disgusting with things like goldfish crackers littered all over the floor and in-between the cracks of their car seats. We got in the habit of throwing the crumbs out onto the driveway when we got home. It didn't take long for us to notice anytime we pulled in, the crows would be lined up on the power lines waiting for their free meal.

But it gets better. One of my kids loves watching the birds, so we go out there and do so a lot. Sometimes we throw them some crackers etc. for free entertainment.

We were outside one day and someone walked by pretty close to us. They didn't pose any (recognizable) threat, but apparently the crows thought we were in some sort of danger because several swooped down and attacked the person walking by. They were totally fine after the crow mauling, but I did read that crows do view people as friend and foe, depending on what they might be trying to protect.
Pastures in areas that are naturally grassy is fine. Pastures that have been created by deforesting the Amazon are not at all ok (Brazil is the worlds largest exporter of beef - not all of that is Amazonian land, but a lot of it is).

Soy is often grown in deforested rainforest areas too. But as a sibling comment says, only 6% of soy goes towards direct human consumption. The rest is for animal feed.
I’ve mentioned this previously but it’s on topic and still amazes me, so I’ll just copy & paste:

I know someone who works at one of the London airports and is responsible for keeping the runway operational. One of the jobs is keeping the birds well clear, and if necessary, sadly, may resort to shooting.
The crows know the score though. This acquiantance says the crows know to disappear if they see the bird clearers. What's "clever" is that they only take flight if it's one of the shooters. They recognise the veichle(s) despite them being all the same fleet. So if someone else is driving round to check something else, the birds completely ignore. If it's the "bird guy" then off they go with little encouragement.
Newfound brain structure explains why some birds are so smart
> It is unreasonable to expect people to have perfect foresight that what you’re working on is going to be relevant to them 2 weeks down the line.

I would understand if you said 2 years or 2 months. But if your road-maps and plans change so rapidly that you can't even assume that features coordinated one day will still be relevant 2 weeks after... then how on earth do you have a functioning team without daily communication? And if you do have daily communication, why not
concentrate that to a single max 15 min period to reduce being interrupted in flow?
See, there's your arrogance again. They may have no interest in doing so or anything leading up to it and desire is not a measure of intelligence.
I think OP was talking about the collars getting caught on something accidentally. I’ve certainly seen sheep get their heads stuck even without a collar.
I feel that the title oversells this a bit.

This research demonstrates that crows know whether they saw something or not. It doesn't demonstrate that they are on a par with humans when it comes to introspection.
That land use figure includes grazing areas, not just crop fields.
The contract is cash-settled so there's no opportunity to pipe in water like that.
Crows absolutely could build a jumbo jet, they just have no need to because they can already fly.
Of course they could, but they can already fly. See? Intelligence.
Intelligence is one of the strongest predictors for success even among humans.
> I assume your argument invoking Android as a model wasn’t in bad faith, and I can certainly dismiss the conclusions of it in good faith too, because it is inapplicable as a model.

Why is it inapplicable? Because Google is behind it instead of Apple?

> And no - I don’t have to provide examples of where Facebook, Microsoft etc, have already “caused trouble”.

Then you have no evidence substantiating your claims.

> Neither are known as friends of either developers or consumers, although I accept that Microsoft has been doing better since they have been an underdog.

You are bringing moral weight into this discussion, which is fine. However, I would not be willing to assign any additional moral weight to Apple either. It does not do to assume any company- especially one in the same realm of financial success- is particularly more virtuous or honest than others, nor incapable of predatory business tactics of its own.

> What I am not in favor of is Epic winning a court supervised solution

And that is the crux. I do not favor Epic, but I recognize that they are the first to put skin in the game as far as grousing over App Store policies go. They are a necessary evil in terms of forcing Apple's leadership to recognize that App Store policy is worth a reexamination. Without a challenge, Apple management is content to pursue its present course without recognition that there is indeed a world outside of Cupertino. They have perhaps the highest market cap of any corporation in history- they're no underdog in this tale. But I also don't care about Epic in the context of this discussion. We can map out ways in which Apple could open up iOS without dragging in Epic's legal demands into this.

> I actually strongly believe we need the smartphone software environment to be opened, but the path by which that occurs and the nature of the openness obtained is very important to whether there is a net gain for anyone other than the already rich and powerful.

I agree with that.
This is the most simple setup I could get. https://github.com/lightswitch05/wireguard-docker
Crows understand that complex language and technological development lead to destruction, so they stay away from it and cringe at humans...
AFAIK this is why survey firms usually publish their methodology (ie. script used to ask the respondents).
SPAs, mobile apps and Zelenials killed it.
If you're not a EU citizen, you have 3 months after losing your job to find another visa sponsor, if I'm not mistaken.
There are other use cases though. In the US, live stock theft is still an issue.
> It’s really disappointing to me to see every single form of entertainment becoming a subscription service. It’s also the same problem you see with various apps/software trying the SaaS model, even when it doesn’t make sense.

Disappointing in what sense?

It's basic economics. Companies that have shifted towards subscriptions (Adobe, Autodesk, Amazon, Ultimate Software, Disney pre-COVID, etc.) have significantly higher valuations when they shift their services to subscriptions for obvious reasons.
Well, that reasoning is your wording alone.

The reason scientists do not optimistically assert animals must have human-analogous intelligence is because of the difficulty required to design a test that will reveal traces of it.
> they are ashamed if they are seen by their peers during milk extraction

Do you have a link discussing this? I find it hilarious and fascinating and I'd like to learn more. Thanks!
> I think there's a non-splippery-slope way to position the worldview (...)

I wouldn't discount the "slippery-slope way", because a slippery slope is not a fallacy when the slope is, in fact, slippery (and demonstrably so).

> My main counter to these ideas is that, similar to (pure) free market proponents, it takes on a very idealistic view of rationality that doesn't match real behavior.

That cuts both ways, though. Some vocal proponents of the "there's bad speech" view weaponize the Paradox of Tolerance argument, way past the point it's rationally applicable, and use it to beat people into submission. It's a very big problem in well-known online communities (including Facebook, Reddit and HN). For now, the effects are mostly limited to being called an -ist or -obe if you don't agree with maximally extremist view on some issues, and every now and then someone loses a job due to a Twitter mob. But I wouldn't want to live in a country ruled by the same principles.

Note that the side effect of extreme policing of wrongthing isn't just that the bad people get underground instead of being "disinfected by light". It's also extremely polarizing, because those on the fence now have to pick a side or get accused of being inssuficiently rightthinking - and some of those will adopt the wrongthink, at the very least because the wrongthinkers are nice to them. The historical equivalent of that is running your country by calling everyone not conspicuously patriotic enough a traitor and executing them; at some point you'll find that a chunk of your population actually defects to the enemy just to save their lives.

The way I see it, I'm all for maximizing accuracy and precision of beliefs and opinions, which correlates with rooting out disinformation. As for wrongthink - I believe the Paradox of Tolerance is recursive. That is, if in the process of rooting out the intolerant you start causing collateral damage among the innocent, you become the intolerant that should be rooted out.
