> That's just not true. If App Developers choose to only release their app on one store then i am forced to use that store.

Which store they would use is obviously the developer's decision.
Do you complain that you have to go to website X or the Steam Store to get some program instead of the Windows Store as well?
Also nobody forces you to use that one app. You don't have a right to use the app, with a possible exception for you having bought the app in the past on that other store.
This. I really like this about Kanban. All of the work was already on the board. The to-do column was kept populated with tasks to be done, and there's complete visibility of what's in progress. As the lead I could look at the aging of each ticket and speak directly to the assignee about any issues. If we needed an ad-hoc meeting to deal with blockers we could do so, and invite the people needed. We'd have at least weekly meetings with the entire team and as many ad-hoc meetings as necessary, but no more.
You are right, thanks for the hint.

They should be making it more expensive to run gas vehicles to reflect their actual environmental damage and make it cheaper to run EV, not outright banning them. California is navel gazing at their own moral superiority on this one.

'Yield farming' has been very popular the past few months. Compound Finance was the first to kick off the hype by giving away their governance tokens to people that used their platform. You can compare it to Facebook giving you some of their stock by being an active user.

The end game of those governance tokens is for them to control the whole platform, so absolutely no changes can be made to the platform without being voted in by the token holders. All of this is enforced trustlessly on the blockchain through smart contracts. As a token holder you really own part of the platform.

This is a very powerful concept, so a lot of people are interested in buying those governance tokens outright. So what you can do is put your money in one of those platforms, receive governance tokens and sell them to people that want to buy them outright. You can make quite good money doing this.

Now a lot of projects popped up that basically had nothing to offer, yet people were still buying their governance tokens, meaning you could still make money by putting your money in there and selling those tokens to those people quick before those tokens became worthless, basically an advanced game of chicken.

So what I'm saying is not all of those 'stake your money and receive tokens' are outright scams. There are some very legitimate projects being built that give away governance tokens. Uniswap comes to mind, the most popular decentralized exchange, doing over half a billion in volume yearly. There's of course a lot more nuance and not everything works as it should yet, but there's a lot of interesting stuff being built every day.

I live in Oregon, and heard about something similar in Multmomah , specifically an intervention team to work with people experiencing homelessness. I think these programs are important, and a better solution than a police panacea. Ultimately though, we need to have tighter communities, who care for each other and care for people because they’re people. If someone shows up in your neighborhood, it’s an opportunity to say hello. Embrace each other as human beings rather than segregated into tribes of us and them.

Who is this aimed at? It feels a bit clunky to attach a csv, and what if I want to send attachments? What if I want a sign up form?

Maybe this is for small non-techie business owners? Like a local yoga studio who has the emails from the paper sign up forms?

I love the idea of sending adhoc emails the normal way and not wading through mailchimp and friends bloated UIs though.
Just a couple of weeks ago, northern summer, I saw two pairs of crows near the peak of a rooftop about forty feet apart. One of the birds had a round plastic lid in its beak and appeared to be trying to get the attention of the other, picking up the lid and setting it down, while the other pair looked on from a distance. When the second crow (equivalent of a teenager in my mind, because it had the body language of someone trying to figure out what to do with their hands) stopped acting distracted, the first crow set down the lid and stood on it, slightly lifting its wings. This happened a couple of times, and then the first crow flew away. While the two apart watched, the second "teenage" crow picked up the lid, set it down, and then stood on it like the first.
I'm looking forward to snow this year.

The 12-Factor App Methodology
I see this attitude too often among technical people. They think that having a good relationship with someone means sucking up and losing one's integrity, when in fact, it just means having a good relationship. Having a good relationship with my wife doesn't mean I'm sucking up to my wife. We love and respect each other because we value each other. I don't love my manager, and my people don't love me, but we better respect each other and know how to have good relationships with each other. Technical people who have difficulty having good relationships with others in the workplace need to understand that they can be difficult people to work with, and that they often create drama due to their misconceptions about what relationships are.

People who have good relationship skills can also tell the difference between having a good relationship with mutual respect, as opposed to actually sucking up to some narcissist. All technical people need to be able to have that level of relationship wisdom, the ability to see the difference. Sadly, and this is the most unfortunate part, people who are bad at it often think that they're good at it, and so they don't understand why they're being attacked when they're not actually being attacked; then they get angry and disgruntled, creating what was a preventable situation.

We make basically no attempts to estimate how long a feature is going to take and then update those estimates along the way. An individual feature could take a few days to implement or several months (years even). Periodic check-ins are completely independent of the 4-week release cycle.

Every 4 weeks, we release whatever has been merged in the last 4 weeks. One dev might have 8 independent changes in a release or 0. We typically have a handful of significant changes that land each release and a bunch of minor improvements. Still, there's not much effort to estimate when any particular feature might land.

When a large feature is getting close to completion, the dev might choose to push a little bit to hit a particular release. There's not really any external pressure to do that, though.

That's still a sprint?
This is still illegal to obtain, right?

If you're looking for an e-book reader in Linux, Foliate (https://github.com/johnfactotum/foliate/) is the best I've seen. I used to be a fan of Calibre E-book reader and had my own custom CSS for theming, but the redesigned e-book reader (I think it was Calibre 4.0) completely broke my setup. I don't know how it is these days, but it was extremely buggy and lagging when I tried some months ago. Even Bookworm (https://github.com/babluboy/bookworm) is a far better alternative than Calibre E-book reader.

Five Habits of Successful CEOs That Can Take Off Your Career
We have 100s of farmers that we personally work with - some of them with less than 2 hectares of land, who are using livestock to help in their agriculture. Without livestock they will be paying through their nose for biofertilizer and other inputs.

They sell male calves and older cattle and also eggs, chicken etc. But not much else.

In all likelihood these farmers probably do far less damage to the environment and also "consume" far less plastic packaging and produce far less non-recyclable waste than the average person living in an apartment in a city. Also, the overall pollution per person in the household of a farmer is likely a lot less as well.

> there is no real formal verification process for smart contracts

Not following here, instead of process you mean no requirement to do so? The process is pretty clear and simple, there's a few different frameworks being built for smart contract formal verification along with the traditional methods working fine.

What was the last bit of code you wrote or used that was formally verified?

I don't believe you understood my comment. Third party app stores with more lax, less resourced app review procedures would result in arbitrary attacker code being run on end-user devices, that, given enough time, would escape the sandbox. It's a layered defense: signing/developer identity account, app store review, sandboxing, specific user-approved permissions.

No one part of it is bulletproof, as we saw with CVE-2020-3883.
I wonder how many more times this link will get posted here.
Other countries, i.e., in the EU, have high security prisons, and those high security prisons also use solitary confinement for high risk prisoners as needed. The federal supermax simply has more because we have a bigger population; on a per capita basis the imposition of solitary confinement is about equal.
Technology has a way of making things cheaper, it's not limited to renewables. You'll be shocked when you see what's available in a few years from Gen 4 and beyond reactors.
If the equalization is done near the end of the audio output chain (ex: music player, defaults at 100% volume -> user sets master audio output volume to 50% -> EQ is applied) then a pre-amp is not strictly necessary if the EQ can take advantage of the extra headroom in the output channel. Otherwise, an adjustable pre-amp / gain setting would be nice, preferable with the option for it to automatically set itself to reduce by the maximum gain the EQ is applying to avoid clipping. But yeah, it should be optional; if the user wants stuff to clip, let it clip.
In case you're referring to mobile apps, there's also FBreader. Not great, but not bad, I've used it for years to read both epub and Mobi books on my phone just fine. (bad for the eyes I know but still useful for always having a book at hand). FBReader is terrible for PDFs though, warning on that.

Cheers.
The Miscommunication Game [video]
Not implemented features: classes, namespaces, exceptions
Probably because the organization doesn't have a great technical culture. It is a red flag, but understanding that it's not an easy problem to solve is helpful. It's not easy to find great technical managers, especially in non-technical organizations. Look at how many non-technical organizations around the world spend millions of dollars on software projects that eventually get written off as failures. It's appalling, especially given that we definitely have the knowledge on how to make good software already. Skills in managing technical initiatives and teams are sorely underappreciated, even by many technical people who actually do the work.

Non-technical managers can be great too, when they know their limitations and know the skills of their team. It is possible to have a good non-technical manager managing technical people.
The modals sure make interacting with the site difficult.
Definitely a neat idea! Your local cooperative extension service should be able to get you in touch with an animal behavior expert, since they are often affiliated with colleges.

Thinking about the project with corvids in mind, I’d suggest two nuances to your protocol.

1. Stick with plain mazes that have no crates in order to train the association with the onscreen character. Basically just spending more time with navigating mazes of increasing complexity before introducing crates at all. Then if they succeed with those, scale the maze complexity back down and add the crate mechanic.

2. Make use of audio. Birds have great eyes, but their natural interaction will be with their beaks, and I’m not sure how easy it is for them to track the onscreen motion while pecking. Using sound to signify “move to empty space” vs “tried to move into a wall” vs “pushed a crate” vs “got snack” could tighten the feedback loop for them and let you see them planning ahead: “I see I have to go ‘up, up, right‘ to get the snack, so I’ll press those buttons without checking the screen each time to confirm.” Might even be good for “move to empty space” to have a unique sound for each direction.
Sorry, but you don't seem to understand why crack was made.

It's not because it's easier to ship, it's because you can double or triple your money...

Example... 1 kilo raw coke...40k [US price] cook that same 1 kilo into crack and now you have 3 kilos of crack that you can easily make 100k or more off in the street

The drug it's self, in crack form, is 10x more addictive then powdered cocaine. The user experience of a "high" only last for a few minutes, side effect being users use the product faster. This is why it's a lucrative market for gangs and street dealers. If you hold territory to distribute your product, you increase your revenue. Cash is what every dealer wants, product is what ever user wants. Supply and demand effects.

Don't know why some may believe people make crack because "it's easier to transport"... no, no its not, especially when you consider liquid cocaine. Yes cartels smuggle liquid cocaine![1]

It's about money.

Cartels have billions & billions of US dollars to spend, they spend big money on R & D too.[2][3]

I can highly recommend Shadow aswell, a friend of mine uses it and for online multiplayer it is a really nice option. It I didn’t own a decent PC I probably would choose that to play my Steam games.
Your own change to the analogy isn't really all that accurate either: What you are saying would be closer to, saying "This game is cheaper in Android" in the Apple store's product description. I have no idea of what the courts will rule here, but if you are limiting this discussion to whether there's precedent to advertising a store the manufacturer themselves controls, there sure are examples.

This might not be all that popular a plan with Cheerios, but perfectly normal with all kinds of items available at retail stores: For instance, Simple Modern water bottles will come with a discount coupon for buying replacement caps at a discount on the manufacturer's online store. Some printers have, inside the box a leaflet for ink discounts. At least one major vacuum cleaners brand will point you to their website for replacement bags, with an online coupon. Or, back in software, if I buy a Nintendo Switch at GameStop, I will still get ads on menus for buying games online, even though my relationship with Nintendo started at GameStop.

All kinds of retailers carry the products I mentioned, even though there really is far more profit in habituating the customer to buying the consumables in your own store than in the original item. You could argue whether this is good or bad, legal or illegal, but the examples definitely exist.

An introduction such as this, should also explain about ways of working with git and not just explain the commands. I still remember the first time when I started working with git, that I was warned never to use rebase, because it could be dangerous. It was only when I moved to another working environment, that I learned how to use it, and only about five months ago that you can add --rebase with the default pull button. But still I find myself using Git Bash shell often.

It took me also a long time to learn that origin was the default remote and that you can add more remotes and that you can also push to a repository on a USB drive.

I have been working with git for about four years now and it is only in the past year that I feel a little comfortable with it. But still when I look up a git command, I am overwhelmed with the shear number of options. On the other hand, I am still surprised by the number of commands I have to type to do something as simple as rebasing my uncommitted changes with the latest commit from origin. Or what you have to do to squash your commits on the current branch since your lastest push to master (or develop).

Git is like a toolkit with relatively small and intricate tools, that often baffle beginners that only want to perform a limited number of operations according to a certain style of working.
Have you written about this in the past? This seems pretty absolute.

I personally think paracetamol should be prescription only. The risk and consequences of overdose (whether suicidal or accidental) are too severe. A lot of far safer drugs are prescription only (or even completely illegal) yet deadly paracetamol is sold in the supermarket.
The whole charade is to enable a future army of lobotomized bootlickers the confidence to proclaim, "he had his time in court", long after all the barely-reported injustices in the proceedings of this kangaroo court have been forgotten.

It would also serve as a warning against any possible future martyrs who might intend to rely on the law to protect them for doing the right thing by reporting on the ruling classes criminality.

This whole farce also cements the US spot as world police, when an Australian citizen can be disappeared for not following US law when not even in the US, and their UK lap-dog just cowers in the corner begging for more table scraps.

It's an ebook management tool. True, it's not proprietary, but if you rely heavily on it, it's a pain to switch to something else later. When you have very reasonable doubts about the future of the project, it makes sense to look for alternatives.

I don't think any good alternatives exist, but if they did, I'd probably switch in a heartbeat. The lead developer for Calibre is extremely annoying. RMS is easier to deal with.
So should we ban all driving? Because that is the analogous reaction to prohibiting any gatherings.
Reminds me of what a friend once told me: The desktop folks want the Latest Software immediately, and the server folks want nothing to change, ever.

If you've ever developed for linux, you might come down on the side of the server folks. You will find that there's a web of dependencies everywhere that you will have to navigate. And the more higher-functioning what you are doing, the more likely this will become more and more complicated.

If people depend on an app, develop for something like Ubuntu 16.04 or Ubuntu 18.04. It is (more) likely that people will be able to use it without trouble for quite some time. It is very stable and it is not likely updates will affect the folks using your software. They will be able to use the software for years.

strangely, I wonder if arch linux might be the counterpoint to all this. You might just do continuous maintenance all the time instead of one-giant-upheaval-update every few years.
