Yes, its an invention by Gene Kim the author of The Phoenix Project and a couple of other books on the subject. Self profused expert in all things DevOps and inventor of the worst way to give names to common practices.

First Way - is whatever practice, I never can remember.
Second Way - is another practice, no idea which one.
Third Way - is the third practice, naturally, equally eludes me.
You’re welcome! It sounds like you had a frustrating day. I’ve definitely been there and have the stories also. I hope your next attempt goes more smoothly.

I just got a quick hitch myself recently and it’s like magic! The only downside is that I couldn’t find one that worked with my mower as well as the other implements. I think I can fabricate a mount for the mower to work.

Good luck!
Great stuff. I just browsed your work. Can you share what technologies are you using?
I decided to look back at the AT&T split up and the case against Microsoft and found a news story and justice dept. write-ups:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1982/01/09/u...

https://www.justice.gov/atr/att-divestiture-was-it-necessary...

https://www.justice.gov/atr/us-v-microsoft-courts-findings-f...

Near the Washington Post article's end: "Throughout the trial, AT&T lawyers had argued that this "dismemberment" would hurt the nation's telephone network by raising prices to consumers and resulting in a deterioration of the phone system the nation depends on for defense communications and other emergency situations..."

The FTC case against Facebook seems promising to me, but it seems like the AT&T and Microsoft cases were settled before final judgments.
As a Canadian, I was amazed to see unrefrigerated milk in boxes on my first trip to Europe. I agree about the taste.

That being said, it is easier to get raw milk in Europe, so I envy that.
Have you tried using cyberduck? The Official download (and I just did a quick search and did not find a fork) prevents shutdown with a donation nag. I also threw a quick look at the list, no FTP clients there.
Sorry, I don't get it. I agree that there is a risk, but the risk is to need to do work at an unpleasant time you couldn't plan for as much as you wanted. "Risking your ass" risk is risk over which you could get fired.

Let's use an example: years ago someone built something in Python 2.6 and added some library because it provided functionality you needed. Now you are in charge and need to upgrade to Python 3.7 because of $REASONS and the library isn't compatible nor maintained.

How is this different from having written the library by yourself? You'll still need to do the transition. And yes, it probably would have been better if someone else did this for you or you knew before, but so is life. Years ago someone made a decision to postpone writing it from scratch and you inherited this somehow.

There is a serious risk it will come like this, but this is not "you risk your ass" risk. No one will get fired over something like this.

If someone is stupid enough to accept changes from upstream without reviews and an attacker added a backdoor to $AUTHENTICATION_LIB and you download version 0.9.1_hacked without checking if this is a legit update, that might be "risking your ass" risk. And someone might get fired for it. But probably is't.
It's not neccessary. It's just something I did for fun, and other non clean-room implementations already exist such as anbox. It also feels bit more hygienic for not needing to run any actual Java code :) Some actual value, this project could give is linux compatible versions of some android apis, easing porting.
It's relative. America's disadvantaged are not like Finland's. There's an underclass in the US straight out of Oliver Twist.

The essay stresses the unfairness of depriving a subset of that underclass — ie: strivers — of a chance to pull themselves up.

The goal instead should be universally to lower American inequality. We should bring it closer to Finnish levels, even if Finnish levels are imperfect.
A bit more than that, but LS motors are light for their power. Full street dress is about 210kg. I’m sure you could shed quite a bit of that right a way (you don’t need things like power steering or an alternator.)
Likely because people believe they'd happily give up salary for more flexible work, but really wouldn't, and so you'd not get any employees if you didn't pay high salaries and offered more flexible hours and some culture benefits.
If anyone thinks that The Phoenix Project is horrible, then you have seen nothing before you read The Unicorn Project. This new book is a whole new level of disgusting.

Goldratt's books are pure gems, most of them I have read several times over the years just to remind myself each time that I have not understood something properly the last time I read it.
Not to take anything away from John Brunner's 1975 classic, but EM Forster's The Machine Stops[1][2] was even more prescient.

Written in 1909, it predicted (in very rough, general form) something like the Internet, Internet addiction, video chat rooms, and virtual reality.

He also wrote another short story which I consider to be even better than The Machine Stops. It's called The Other Side of the Hedge[3], and while it's not as prescient it's one of my favorite short stories and I would highly recommend it to everyone.

I actually tried it with snap on fedora some time ago (maybe a year or two) and it did not work. I guess snap is cross platform as long as the platform is ubuntu, kind of like .net in that.
In france you these need to be pre-approved, you have to have an employment protection plan, and even then the court can overturn all this and make you hire everyone back.

"Collective redundancies can be void by an administrative court, if the latter recognises shortfalls in the employment protection plan or if an administrative authority did not validate or approve the employment protection plan at all. In case the administrative authority validated or approved the employment protection plan without stating sufficient reasons, its decision might be invalidated by the court."

In the UK (which is MUCH more liberal and I wasn't considering the UK part of the EU) there are still plenty of steps.

For the UK "Non-compete clauses and restrictive covenants are highly enforceable in the UK in order to protect the business the employee is leaving."

https://www.ms-solicitors.co.uk/employee/faqs-employees-guid...

Redundencies can be overturned if the selection criteria for them is "unfair" or discriminates.

"You can select employees based on their length of service (‘last in, first out’) but only if you can justify it. It could be indirect discrimination if it affects one group of people more than another".

Because often some type of group is affected more than others if you lay off new hires you get into a quagmire pretty quickly.
As time passes it looks to me clearer and clearer IT is reinventing a huge number of wheels and they all end up less than round.

An organizational leader (head of X, Director, group manager, project manager, team leader, etc) must be neat, tidy, organized. What a shocker, right? But take a loot at your superior's computer screen at work. 278 files right there on the desktop. Many of which have (1), (2) or even (3) in the name. How many unread notifications in his bar? How many tabs opened in his browser for weeks/months?

That exists, is named PureDarwin (I think) and is about as active as the original article project.

Why not just toggle on "night light" in Windows 10? Doesn't it make more sense to reduce the blue color from your monitor that way instead of wearing glasses all the time? That being said, I was watching some interviews about this topic last week and the conclusion was that blue light doesn't harm your eyes, but it will keep you awake at night. So, try to reduce screen time or use the night light / f.lux later in the evening. Also, take a break a couple of times an hour for 10 seconds just to focus on something in the distance.
The author lost me at "In order to do DevOps, You Must Follow the Three Ways of DevOps". Software engineers have the tendency to come up with semi religious movements, I have seen good companies going down the drain because of strict adherence to their own made up guidelines.
Workable, but not the point.

This is why I picked Synology as my nas. The Synology Hybrid Raid system let me just shove all my extra drives in the 4 bay NAS and still have parity protection.

Then I just slowly upgraded all drives to the current money/capacity optimum one or two at a time.

If I was made of money and could afford to upgrade all the drives in a pool in one go, I'd definitely go for ZFS too.
Yeah ofcourse I did - the only thing that makes the whole experiance bearable. Without it, I don't know how anyone would do dev stuff on a Mac. It has pleanty of good software, but not including FileZilla (because of bundled crapware). Cyberduck cask is just the official one bundled, so I guess still the nag-screen-preventing-shutdown.

It says in the article that 35 000 compounds were found, out of which were 50 biotic ones.

But unless I misread, it does not say how many tries were made by the machine to find these 50 biotic ones.

Was it 100 000? 1 million? 1 billion?

The answer to that question gives clue as to the rarity of life as it exists now, in the Universe, and the rarity of chances that it exists, and add food for thought in the debate happening down here about the existence of an intelligence behind that.

Of course regulating to force this to happen often has unintended consequences, but then ending non-competes in Wisconsin might not lead to the next Silicon Valley either.

But we should still do it.

(I think my best explanation is that I don't look like Chris Hemsworth, but eating healthy, regular exercise and good lighting in photos will certainly improve my situation, even if the "next Silicon Valley / film stardom" is not within reach. )
Not least the legal system (Common law) feels quite foreign to me. Labor laws are more US-like. Just two examples.
Yes and no. Different nation has different laws and testing, and different methods for animal handling can increase disease risks. To take an direct example here from Sweden, if a farmers animal get tested positive for salmonella then most if not all the nearby animals are killed and possible even nearby neighboring farmers flocks just to be on the safe side. Raw milk also get tested a lot more since the risk are higher.

That said, while its true that we have kept cows for thousands of years without using pasteurization, there is a reason why the average life span is high and child mortality is low. We also used to milk the cow and then directly drink it, rather than collect it and store it for a extended period of time.

IMO this is a classic "no true scotsman". The CDC does not say anything about distance and time making raw milk any safer https://www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/rawmilk/raw-milk-questions-an...

It kind of implies the opposite, that the bacteria don't need to multiply, they're already present.

Have you seen studies that show most outbreaks are from bacteria multiplying in the milk rather than contamination at the source? Since even raw milk is promptly cooled which greatly slows bacterial reproduction, I find it more likely that all the contamination needed to cause sickness happens during processing.
Indeed, and this is why I still buy paper books, DVDs and CDs (and vinyl, when the mood strikes). Heck, I suspect that in the not-too-distant future, old software licenses and media will be valuable, perhaps extremely so if open-source tools are effectively blocked on the major platforms.

That is general hand-wavy-way to say that things can be improved, in general.

The Goal actually specifies which misconceptions we have in many cases that leads to solutions that seem reasonable but are completely wrong! Without spoiling the whole book, but do look for the explanation in there for "statistical fluctuations" and "dependant events".

And then the Goal make you the reader come up with a solution that fits the factory environment (with the stat.fluctuations and dependant events) like a glove. A solution that creates a sort of a miracle for that time and place.

Other Goldratt books give more example, and more teachings, on how to look at practices everyone is doing wrong and appraising those using common sense. A favorite saying by Goldratt is that "common sense is not very common".

So just "solving problems" in an IT environment in most cases will lead to the wrong solutions, just because many people assume that solution X is the best solution without even looking at the problem THEY have. (GitFlow I am looking at you!)
The FIA has made a rule now that any new/innovative finding on a car gets banned the next season.

So if a team develops something, they can run it for one year after which it's banned from the sport.

All of this is to cut cost for the smaller teams; take the DAS system of Mercedes (Double Axis Steering). If the FIA doesn't ban it all teams need to be running it next year, or they fall behind. However its a complex system and the small teams (Haas, Williams, Alfa Romeo for example) might not have the money to research and build it.
Almost all other motorsport series are either spec series or use Balance of Performance. In effect, they are "gamed" to make the cars equal to ensure closer competition.

F1 is more of an engineering competition than a driver competition, but both are extremely important. There are very few similar motorsport series. Le Mans used to be that way (and died a slow death due to rising costs), Dakar is like that, rally? I believe is like that, but really don't know any others.

I am an F1 fan and I really like the engineering aspect of it.
Instagram is less of an issue compared to whatsapp for the reasons you outlined, Facebook mostly took it to where it is, and it also has plenty of competition. TikTok, Twitter, Snap are all large.

Whatsapp and Messenger have significant combined marketshare and it was already much more valuable when they bought it.
After hearing about CGI I became a bit obsessed with its simplicity and started writing my blog[1] as a CGI app, eventually incorporating a FastCGI library later.

Performance-wise I don't know how it would compare to other options, but I think it's a great way to expose C/C++ code to the web.

> Do you feel the decision to terminate you then may have been linked to your impending protections after two years?

Yes I do because it was so close to the 2 years, and that did leave me feeling slightly cynical.

But I wouldn't call it "protection", because the only benefit would have been a small cash payout, worth a lot to me, but small relative to the company's ongoing salary bill for people staying behind, so easily affordable to them.

That led to financial hardship for a little while, but I recovered, set up as self-employed, and to be honest I was glad of the new freedoms to work on my own projects from then on.

One way is to always keep your thing ready for any change.

Another way is to always wait to improve a thing for change when the change is required.

And the truth is sadly, as is always the case in life, a combination of the two. The experienced engineer can predict which parts need the constant buffing because they'll be on the critical product path and which ones you can let be without them rotting. In fact, that predictive skill is likely one of the top markers of productivity.

If you don't have it, you can probably simulate it by working twice as hard and keeping twice as many things ready, and if you manage to work n times as hard to keep all the things ready, your system will appear to be superhuman. But realistically, you will appear to not have done much critical work because of all the stuff you do, maybe a tiny fraction will be important.
Could you please explain your thoughts on this? My current operating philosophy on real estate prices are that inflation is demand driven (buyer purchasing power), and that individuals are already maxed out (40 year mortgages, rents 50% of income). The only reason I can see real estate continuing its climb is if government policy continues to insist that home prices can never depreciate. If that plays true, then sure, you get your 4%. But it feels like a ponzi scheme waiting to collapse.
Rails: Migrate your data from SQLite to PostgreSQL
the Italian industrialization crisis case isn't that hard to crack: there are many factors leading to it, for sure, but the central choke point was the subdivision(=lottizzazione? I don't think subdivision really renders the term) of banks for local political interests.

the push from local industries to large conglomerates to global multinationals was sustained by a strong economy and easy access to large banking institution that could finance their operations at reasonable risk for themselves.

the small local banks in Italy could never sustain such a growth, and production remained local, with few notable exception.

sure politicking, corruption and mafia had a part in it, as they will reduce competitiveness of a company compared to others having none of such issues (i.e. the state deciding where to build factories based on unemployment and not efficiency) but a large enough company can absorb that in the bottom line and continue operating.

Medium companies are, however, completely suffocated from this.

the Italian startup stagnation is more confounding, but my personal belief is that it's likely a result of the absurd taxation the middle class gets. It's basically impossible to build up any saving to start entrepreneurship around here, as everything in welfare comes from the middle class. And existing entrepreneurs have little incentive in branching off to new unexplored areas. Without the fuel and ferment from solo founders making it, there's no culture and no substrate to fall into if a business fails. Everyone is just grabbing at their own chair, hoping not to be knocked into poverty by the next round of financial crises.

I borrow everything at the local library. If they don't have it, I ask if they can get it. Mostly I just give them the ISBN number and a few days later I get a mail that they reserved it for me, come and pick it up. Almost faster than ordering it myself on the net :-)
What does “quick sync-up” mean? [closed]
Exactly. If I read my contract carefully I'm sure it has clauses saying I can't compete for N months, and that everyting I create on weekends no matter how unrelated (A hobby piece of software, a novel, a pop song...) is immediately the IP of my employer no matter which equipment I use or if anyone asked me to create it.

All of that is obviously non-enforcable nonsense.
Thanks, very helpful! The tribunals decisions (which have employees on them) can be appealed to courts can't they?

My point - in California this isn't even a question. There is no need to negotiate. It's a matter of both policy and law that you can get another job.

In Europe there is a lot more careful thinking, a great thing actually I think in areas of social safety net, public / govt function etc.

Startups with 2-3 folks are just not well equipped for the EU intricacies - look at GPDR, all the employment laws and keep on extrapolating.

> [UHT is used] for most milk sold in Europe.

> A lot of Americans find [UHT] offensive ... Europeans, however, don’t seem to mind.

Here in the UK, this statement is not true at all. UHT milk is certainly available in the supermarkets (not in the chilled section) but the vast majority of milk sold is fresh. I guess this is the risk of generalising a whole continent of people in such a short statement. (Probably the article's claims about Americans don't generalise to every part of that either.)

The most ridiculous thing about this statement is that it is claiming Europeans care less about UHT. Yet it's evident that at least some Americans don't care that much because they needed this article to be written to even notice that some of their milk was UHT. I'm confident that if all organic milk in UK was UHT then its consumers would be furious, without needing it to be pointed out to them.

I suspect part of British preference for fresh milk is due to the tradition of milkmen delivering fresh milk every morning, now almost entirely stopped but still in living memory. I'm reminded of a quote from the excellent British/Irish comedy Father Ted, where Father Dougal becomes a milkman: "You better get going, milk gets sour you know. Unless it's UHT milk, but there's no demand for that because it's shite".
