(Then again, assuming attacks these days are more likely economic than kinetic, it looks like it took two months, May-July 1997, to take down THB. The longest market manipulation of which I am aware lasted 5 years, but those were only a pair of billionaires, so presumably trillionaires' poker played between nation states might go longer until someone folds.)
I became tech lead and project manager and business analyst and architect simultaneously. I tried to delegate as much as I can as that was too much for me and half year later only the "project manager" hat remained. I'm not yet sure I like that.

I can second the book from Camille Fournier. I've read multiple manager books and her book is the best I've read. Very practical and dense without bullshit.

The problem with Netflix is that if a show doesn’t bring new subscribers/retain current ones, the show is worthless.

It doesn’t matter if a lot of people watch a show. It only matters if that show is a deal maker.

So it basically needs to become a cultural phenomenon or attract a hardcore base of fans. Anything else just wastes bandwidth.

I doubt Netflix can predict with any certainty which show that will be in the same way that VCs can’t pick which of 100 companies will IPO for a billion. So they just invest in 20 of the better ones.
Speaking from experience, are you?
Just piggybacking on this a bit with some tips in case anyone reads this comment and wants to try it:

Do this laying down. You are essentially hyperventilating. By the 35th cycle, you should be feeling very lightheaded, possibly seeing stars. You absolutely can pass out or at least fall down during this process. Do it laying down or at least sitting so you don't injure yourself. Obviously, definitely don't do this in the water (you don't do the breathing exercises and ice baths at the same time).

The inhale through your nose you do fully, really trying to get as much air into your lungs as possible. The exhale that follows is really just a matter of relaxing everything and letting your ribcage collapse back down and the air leave; you shouldn't be pushing it out.

If you've never done it before, it can be fun to have a clock or timer going where you can see it. See how long you can comfortably hold your breath before that urge to inhale comes. You'll be amazed. Similar techniques to this breathing exercise (hyperventilating to lower the carbon dioxide levels in your blood) are one of the ways magicians like Houdini and others that do underwater escapes can hold their breath for so long (of course, don't try that at home).
"What’s more, research yet to be published tells of children playing in puddles formed in giant sloth tracks, jumping between mammoth tracks and of hunting and butchery."

This is a delightful image! I hope this research stands up to review.
I guess placebo was the wrong word here -- as it implies effectiveness.

Replace it with pure make-believe of "feeling better" (as opposed to any physiological improvement).

> Mocks work well because you can quickly define them in a given unit test and forget about it.

They do, yes. But:

* the mock syntax is complex and verbose. e.g. "repo.Setup(x => x.Method(It.IsAny<string>(), It.IsAny<List<int>>())) .ReturnsAsync(() => ...." is not the easiest syntax.

The syntax for a fake is just regular old "class FakeFoo: IFoo" with trivial method implementations and no library needed to make it work.

* the mock syntax does not scale. Your 5 lines of setup in one test does not help you in a different test class. So it gets repeated.

Soon you might find that the Fake is easier to read, easier to maintain, and fewer lines of code than all the mocks.

As the article says: "their self-contained nature makes them reusable as well, which lends itself to better long-term maintainability." Not all our code is "do it quickly and forget about it", especially where you see that same thing or minor variations of it done over and over again in related tests.

Mocks win here when you do something different, once only. Fakes win in the opposite cases.

> I can see fakes being useful in certain cases,

This is true, but it's also true that Fakes are _underused_ in general in in the .NET world. People reach for mocking frameworks as if they are the only tool.

No? Both terms are interpreted literally.

If you offer something that you never intended to deliver is that not false advertising? It really doesn't matter how you go about denying the delivery. It doesn't matter that any given termination is legally in the clear. All that matters (IMO) is that you offered something when you knew up front that you were never going to deliver it.

And yes, the above would mean that marketing almost any service as "unlimited" would be false advertising. I do actually think that practice should be actively disallowed by regulators. I really don't think that having slick marketing terms is more important that having offerings that are truthfully and accurately advertised. A functional marketplace absolutely depends on the ability of participants to readily understand the services being offered.
I guess it looks like a problem because they can afford to throw more spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks than a traditional network, the result being more fallen spaghetti...

However, it is possible they're missing out on potential viewership when they cancel too early based only on one season metrics... I rarely watch a show that's only been on for one season because I'm that much more likely to not get story closure. Not sure how common that is, but how many people are watching shows that were cancelled before getting story closure? And how many might watch the back catalog otherwise? I guess not enough to be worth the investment.

On a side note, I do wish more seasons (streaming or not) would actually come to a real stopping point instead of just ending on a cliffhanger and hoping to be renewed.
In any case, the interpretation of the phrase lies in the eye of the beholder. Where, by eye I mean ear and beholder I mean escalators. And by interpretation I mean squirrels.

Austin – CPython frame stack sampler v2.0.0 is now available
I am delighted to announce the release 2.0.0 of Austin. If you haven't heard of Austin before, it is a frame stack sampler for CPython. It can be used to obtain statistical profiling data out of a running Python application without a single line of instrumentation. This means that you can start profiling a Python application straight away, even while it's running on a production environment, with minimal impact on performance.

https://github.com/P403n1x87/austin

The simplest way of using Austin is by piping its output to FlameGraph for a quick and detailed representation of the collected samples.

Besides support for Python 3.9, this new release of Austin brings a considerable performance enhancement that allows it to sample up to 8 times faster than previous versions.

Due to increasing popularity, the sample Python applications that were included in the main repository have been moved to dedicated projects. The TUI can now be found at

https://github.com/P403n1x87/austin-tui

while Austin Web is now available from

https://github.com/P403n1x87/austin-web

If you are considering making your own profiling tool based on Austin, this package can spare you from writing boilerplate code

https://github.com/P403n1x87/austin-python

The documentation is hosted on RTD at

https://austin-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Finally, I am happy to announce the release of pytest-austin, a plugin for pytest that allows you to set up performance regression testing by simply decorating your existing pytest test suite. For more details, check out the project on GitHub

https://github.com/P403n1x87/pytest-austin

Like the other Austin tools, pytest-austin can be installed easily from PyPI.

What do you mean with being terminally ill? Statistically speaking your body will give up at 80 years of age. This is without any special condition like cancer at a young age. You can calculate how long you would have left.

When planning your life you better take into account that you only have so many years left and even fewer productive years. Once you are over 25 you can slowly feel how things decay if you reach 40, 50, 60, 70 it goes downhill faster and faster. There may be dozens of years where nothing bad happens and then there are some weeks where your biological age increases by 10 years and it never really gets back to the level where you have been for so long. No matter what you do, no matter how healthy you are, how much care you take of yourself, one day it will hit you, too.

I agree it is a bad pattern. Remove features from a device to force you to buy an alternative accessory. Nowhere else would anybody accept this - eg. a car that came without a steering wheel so you had to buy one.

I would be curious if anyone can give a scientific analysis of the "Blue Ocean Event" theory. If you apply heat to a pot of water that has ice cubes, most of the energy goes to melting the ice, and once the ice is melted the remaining water warms much more quickly. Are we not due for similar abrupt disruption when the ice finally disappears?

I've tried to find any strong support or criticism of this idea but haven't come up with anything thorough.

This is a very clever hack, I had no idea that initial meant that the fallback would be used.

I am all for clever hacks but more needs to be done when it comes to explaining to experienced developers and new people exactly how to use CSS variables. It has been a difficult journey and we still have people doing their own weird things with LESS/SASS precompilers and not writing maintainable CSS.
> With core services to employees (e.g., email, calendar, office tools, filesharing, chat, collaboration, etc.) either serviced as a SaaS solution (e.g., GSuite, Office365, Slack, etc.) or hosted as VMs in a cloud provider (Exchange Server but on an Azure VM), the security moves to the application and the whole "walled castle" corporate network goes away.

Office 365 is still not GDPR compliant (https://www.heise.de/news/Microsoft-Office-365-Die-Gruende-f...), and many companies are not exactly a friend of putting their other core services (=Exchange) into the cloud where the US secret services can access it. In fact a lot of German companies outright forbid transferring their data on anything "cloud" and demand storage and processing of their data in on-premises systems, for fear of trade secret theft.

I think the parent poster was being sarcastic; either way, you're engaging in an ad hominiem attack.

Wouldn't it be better to point out that it is normal for animal populations to fluctuate, or that this is likely a transient phenomenon? Perhaps you could find a study or two to buttress your view?

Your comment is more likely to alienate people than to convince them, though perhaps your objective is to improve your status among like-minded people, rather than to engage with an outgroup.
Mocks are essentially just “calling this function on the mock object during this test returns this result”, though, right? At least, the ones I write are. No state, no logic, no real ‘behaviour’. As soon as you introduce a fake that really has an underlying state and maybe some kind of validation logic (assuming that you want tests to make sure you can’t insert nonsense/retrieve non-existent stuff), you’ve introduced a ton of new and completely meaningless failure points.
Incidentally, the bigger the black hole is, the less tidal differences does it have, so a supermassive black hole is safer than an earth sized one (as in volume, not mass). At least from spaghettificiation aspect.

A lot of the shows they've cancelled just weren't that good, even the ones I watched.

They hold up 3 shows as an example, Stranger Things, Game of Thrones and Schitt's Creek. The first two were smash hits after season 1. Schitt's Creek was a really good show from the start but it wasn't well known until later seasons. It didn't "hit it's stride" it built up it's audience over time. The quality was always there.

The shows Netflix is cancelling aren't even close in quality.

I observed this whitespace behaviour by accident maybe a year and a half ago (I think it was related to either CSS minification experiments or how Firefox’s dev tools didn’t cope at all well with empty or only-whitespace property declarations), and after a bit of poking and prodding figured out how to achieve exactly what this article describes, poor man’s if(). Since then I’ve seen a couple of others discover and report this independently as well, and I’m sure plenty of others have found it too. It’s always fun when you have a complex system and people stumble upon interesting emergent behaviour. I doubt that the CSS Custom Property spec writers had this sort of application in mind when they specified that it was whitespace-sensitive.
Except many probably already have a gazzilion of chargers around the house. Or jusst some USB to plug the cable in. For the last 3 or 4 iPhones I had I did not even take the charger and the earbuds out of the box. Adds nicely to the resell value.
But docking an old iPod onto a dock was possible with one hand due to the wide connector. It isn't like it's an important problem to solve.

Using 2 hands to put a cable into a device - is this really too difficult??

Using two hands for things doesn't seem like a difficulty really - playing a guitar, driving a car etc.
I'm not sure you can really blame pop science - the concept seems to be there in the Copenhagen Interpretation eg. see point 4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copenhagen_interpretation#Prin...

I think one of the appeals to actual physicists who do experiments is that is how things are usually set up - there's some equipment that makes a measurement and the Schrödinger equation stuff till collapse thing gives the correct result for what is observed. Obviously the universe got on ok for billions of years before physicists evolved so it's a simplification of reality.

Because they don't just implement a part of the interface (just one store method, or just one of two load methods). They try to create a fully functional fake of the original class.

In this case instead of storing the blobs via a REST interface or a database connection, it just keeps it in memory. So it should mostly behave like the real implementation, but is not suitable for production, as it doesn't persist the data.

The only things that are missing there are real life latency or maybe exceptions because of connectivity issues.
I do love both of these shows, and I believe Netflix will be the animated tv powerhouse. Likely even buying Dreamworks animation.

However, there are a ton of good live action shows that were canceled like Hasan Minaj’s, Altered Carbon.

Just too expensive and not worth the money? But in comparison to animation no live action will be.

What most people who are "anti-breath work" seem to not take into account is ig someone's baseline breathing is good to begin with or not - and simply drawing their attention back to their breath could bring them back to within a normal range; maybe someone's chest is tight and they have abnormal breathing, maybe someone's nose is congested most of time so they mostly mouth breath, etc - but aren't aware their breathing is so constricted/limited until they start to challenge the status quo breathing they've adopted over decades - to finally start feeling what normal baseline of getting adequate/proper oxygen exchange feels like.
It's not easy to change the inclination.

The best way to get a feel for what a tangential component would do is to boot up KSP and start playing with the maneuver node tool in-game. I can't find any equivalent tool on-line, but there are some animated GIFs here:

https://t-neumann.github.io/space/OrbitalManeuvers/

Scroll down to "Normal and anti-normal maneuvers". Basically, adding sideways velocity will change inclination a little bit, but also make it more eccentric - as you're not cancelling your original velocity, so the speed along the new orbital direction is greater than it was for your current altitude.
Furthermore the 512 GB option is, again, only available on the pro models. I'd sell my 11 Pro and get the 12 Mini in a heartbeat if I could get it with 512 GB.

That's a very American perspective. In the UK a series is usually only 6 episodes and few shows last more than two or three series.

Compare the original UK version of the Office and its American facsimile and I think you'll see it's much better to go out on a high rather than drag on endlessly. If the Simpsons had ended after a couple of seasons it would have been one of the best shows ever, instead the brain dead drivel they churn out for it now just continually diminishes its early greatness.
Is viewership valuable to Netflix? I would argue not as they make money on signups, not use.

Viewership costs money, so if a show cannot attract new users or retain current ones, you might want to throw away that viewership.
