The biggest problem with Jira, is that they give you the gun and the bullets to shoot yourself in the foot, while trusting you not to do it... The reality is that most teams (or let's be real, managers) can't be trusted not to shoot themselves in the foot here.

Adding more features and more process in general is going to be a net negative for developer productivity. But how well Jira (or similar tools) works for you is completely up to how you use it. Most teams I've seen that hate Jira et al usually have an overly complicated process, with far too many "states" for a ticket, a million mandatory fields, multiple assignees, etc. This naturally results in people spending far more time in the tool, which is time they could be spending actually doing productive work. Conversely, teams that like Jira tend to have very few ticket statuses/fields. Standups are quick, sprint planning is quick, everyone wins. Unless your job was moving things around in Jira for 20+ hours / week... in which case you'll need to find something else to do.
No prob! "complexity science + <subject>" is usually a great starter for finding stuff from this angle. Complexity podcast by SFI is a wealth of knowledge, and had a recent episode about archeologists applying complexity thinking to history:

Jesus F Christ mate... take it easy. You sound like you have been personally attacked. Gathering up the mob and sharpening your pitchfork to tear down someone else's work is easy.

Why don't you start with opening an issue on their Github first? And maybe contribute the code yourself since you feel so strongly about it.
What I'm saying is wholly different: the government has been very clear in its message to healthcare workers - it doesn't care. There is no reason for a frontline worker to believe that the COVID vaccine isn't more of the same and that they will be on their own if they develop problems.

Science denial isn't the issue at all, the government's messaging of "you are on your own, good luck!" brought this upon us.
As a last point.

This is more economical, but I've met tons of young adults in their early twenties who simply can't move out since rent is outrageous. The issue here is if your parents are abusive, You're simply screwed. I would never judge someone for having a nasty attitude towards life, towards everything if trapped in that type of situation.

At the same time my biggest red flag when it comes to dating is if the person has a stable living situation. If someone's 28 and fights their parents every morning, I don't judge them but I know their mind won't be right for a relationship. Once upon a time, I was going through an eviction and the girl I was dating broke it off for the same exact reason. My mind wasn't in a good place.

This is the only comment of yours I see in this thread.
Yeah, I do html/css whenever I can: part of the issue is just that html has been neglected compared to css/js over the last ten years or so: the form controls are mostly just what we had in the 90s and they haven’t really developed into a comprehensive set of the controls we need to make applications. It’d be amazing to have something like react-select or a datagrid/Google Sheets-style table as an element but, instead, we mostly are getting CSS and JS improvements, which means that people are going to tend to use divs with CSS/JS for behavior.
The OP never stated they’re using it on Atlassian’s cloud, and Jira is available for on-premises deployments too, where those terms don’t apply.
I haven't thought about that but I agree. The randomness of boons and hammers forces your to play again and again to get more rewards and combinations!

Thank God you pay only once for this game and it doesn't have in game currency!
‘Cancel culture’ is fundamentally volatility in the lines between a disagreeable opinion and an abhorrent one. In the past, cancel-worthy offenses were generally scandalous behaviors as dictated by more religious and conservative social forces.

I doubt the authors of the letter would so vigorously defend against the ‘cancelling’ of advocates of genocide, exploitation of minors, or cannibalism.

And where are the footprints of this supposed cancellation sasquatch anyway? Brendan Eich? Doesn’t seem to be doing that poorly to me.

>The only way you can punish them is to not buy their products.

I'm sure that's related to the definition of cancel culture in some contexts, but none of the people signing or intended to be swayed by this letter sell any products. This letter is specifically talking about academic bullying as a means of intellectual suppression. That has little if anything to do with products like Facebook, I really don't see the connection.
So true. I just yesterday, on a lark, took a win10 SSD from a new Dell and stuck it in a 10 year old HP, and within about a minute it booted much to my surprise.

It didn't even need to connect to the internet.
Well actually, Flynn case was based on him lying to an FBI agent during a party. The case was pure entrapment. It was so bad, that eventually the government itself asked for the case to be dismissed. Then a partisan hack judge (Sullivan), decided that he was going to continue with the prosecution by appointing his own prosecutor (I kid you not).

OK this is the cynic inside me talking, but let's suppose for a moment you are a Chinese(or Russian) geopolitical strategical planner. The current cancel culture is a gift from the gods, you send several undercover agents over there, and help to amplify this ridiculous state of affairs, start cancelling "dangerous" scientists or lines of research and help your country to gain long-term scientific and technological advantage over a society more interested on the correct number of new genders or on what is the minimum % needed of women speakers in a conference in order to not boycott it.
Is it all Texas? Or is Austin perhaps a nice exception?
My gut feeling is that it's more about an instinct not to drive traffic offsite from their customers online properties, perhaps combined with a now hilarious print-defensive attitude ("URLs don't work in print and our reports must work equally well both online and in print").
Doesn’t that prevent a lot controversial discussions of those topics? Eg what if these things are true or potentially true? Do we just put a blanket ban on publication?
I wish we had a better working definition of “cancel culture” because it seems to encompass everything from boycotting advertisers, to organizations restricting individuals access to “neutral” platforms... to firing individuals for their views
This is happening more slowly due to unprecedented amounts of migration. If we'd had this much mixing for the past thousand years or so, there would be no "races."
There is some correlation between selling good products and valuation. Intel's valuation for example went down 25% in 2020 in contrast to the NASDAQ US Composite index (of which Intel is a part) which went up over 40%.
While this is all well and good it feels like a slick "thought leadership" campaign that provides little in the way of actual solutions to the issues USG orgs face when building/providing digital services. The challenge is not the "approach", but rather a system that constrains the ability to even begin that approach.

I find #7 especially hollow:

> We need talented people working in government who have experience creating modern digital services.

Sure, no one would argue against that, but the solution to this can't come from the team implementing or providing the digital service. Rather the whole of USG's incredibly obtuse, opaque, and inflexible centralized hiring system needs to be addressed. This is no better than telling a USA Special Forces team commander that in order for his operators to be more effective he needs the Army to recruit better soldiers.

I completely agree on the topic, but why shouldn't they be published and disproved by someone else with better arguments?

Bad science has always been fought with good science.
What would that mean, refusing to hire associate professors with a history of calling for institutions to refuse to hire associate professors with histories of calling for things? Sounds paradoxical to me.
What's your use case? I recently wrote an ansible role that makes it super easy to deploy and manage multiple websites/apps on one (or more) servers with nginx and auto renewed ssl (via let's encrypt).

I can share if you are interested, but it's a bit rough around the edges (ie. it works for me).

It doesn't help you in the landing page part, but there are many options in that space. I used Hugo for the first time last week, with a template, and it took me just a couple of days to build a full marketing website.

>> That means not publishing papers, articles or comments to the effect that "women can't do science" or bell curve arguments about some races being less intellectually capable than others.

Suppose you manage a school district and you find that, after controlling for socio-economic income, your students' SAT scores are drastically predicted by race. Suppose you don't publish it, because you fear it might be used as fuel for some racist. What if it turns out that a geographic area that happened to correlate with race was getting an inferior water supply with lead in it, and because nobody was willing to look any further, the problem went on for an extra decade before being fixed?
When the World Trade Center collapsed during 9/11, those buildings must have had hundreds or thousands of safes. Many high-quality safes must have survived the fire and impact. Did anyone try to recover them or were they hauled off in the cleanup (100,000 trucks full of debris)?

I don’t think the prose is of poor quality. But it’s certainly not the easiest book to read if you’ve not spent much time reading non-fiction of the non-stem kind.

If you’ve read some art or philosophy the language will be easy to follow.
This hack wasn't really a failure of code construction but a failure of institutional practices. The same thing could have happened if SolarWinds had a garbagy sys admin tool that happened to also be open source but still otherwise followed the procedures of SolarWinds.

Giant bureaucracies have a bunch of tasks they need to accomplish. Giant bureaucracies hire poorly trained people to accomplish those tasks and buy software to aid it's those people in accomplishing those tasks. The software is sold "by the feature" so it is colloquially "garbage" that is itself produced as cheaply as necessary to achieve these features. Naturally, such garbage is constantly updated and all these giant bureaucracies are sieves with these updates running through them. Sure, if these bureaucracies hired competent people, downloaded open source tools, tested the tools themselves and essentially had their own quality control in-house, this might not have happened. But that wouldn't be the out-sourcing-based, cut costs and skills to the bone, neoliberal paradigm that's near and dear to the high level managers' heart, now would it?

Now, you would think that an event like this would create a realization "what we do is too important for outsourcing, for bargain-basement, neoliberal style operations". But the Office of Personnel Management hack [1] was what should have created this realization and didn't.

Emailing the mods about dupes using the footer Contact link ensures that they see and respond to the report, as opposed to comments that may be interpreted by an algorithm as reason to keep it on the front page.
> That means not publishing papers, articles or comments to the effect that "women can't do science" or bell curve arguments about some races being less intellectually capable than others. That is also hounding people out of science.

Science is better served when such papers are published, and then are debunked using scientific standards of inquiry.

Proving those views wrong is much more powerful than censoring them -- anytime someone puts forward those views we can now say "nope, that's been debunked, here is an article that proves it wrong."

Censorship creates a chilling effect on science in general. People will be afraid to do gender or IQ studies. Some of those studies might end up with results that are true, but not politically popular at the time.

We should not forget that scientific orthodoxy was racist not that long ago. If scientific journals had been censored in the early 1900s, for example, anti-racist papers would have been suppressed. Today is no different -- many of our current scientific views are likely to be disproved 100 years from now, but only if we allow contrary views to be published.

The English Patient is the first book that ever had me enjoying the prose as much as the story itself. As I was reading it I realized that even though I know all the words Ondaatje is using, I could never assemble them is such an artful and beautiful way. That book took me a long time to get through because I would reread passages as I went.
The constraint for the org I work in is that GitHub has a per user license fee that makes it difficult to justify getting a license for everyone in the org since we have a lot of non developer staff. But everyone has access to confluence/JIRA. Does Gitlab also have similar license restrictions?
I especially enjoy non-fiction audiobooks when I'm doing something that doesn't require concentration, e.g. walking, running, driving etc. Then I can really think about the topic, but I don't get bored or distracted as easily.

Cyprus has really nothing to do with this. If accession talks fail Republic of Cyprus is still the recognised government of the whole island but currently has no control over the the occupied area. Just like it was when Cyprus was accepted in EU. Turkish Cypriots already have EU citizenship via Republic of Cyprus, the only isolated population is the illegal Turkish settlers in North Cyprus.
It sounds like you have a developed taste. Once you have that, the "Search Problem" of finding new fiction is a bit easier.

Try finding interviews of - or reviews/letters written by - the authors you admire. They'll usually reference some influential authors you can expand into. If a publisher/editor is sufficiently focused, you can recurse in that direction, too.

You can recursively apply this algorithm, adjusting priority by how much you enjoy the authors you've found so far.

This requires a little bit more up-front work, and you have to be willing to tolerate/toss out the occasional dud. But it's worked well for me so far.

The same trick works for movies, and art more generally.

---

For example, see this interview of Karl Ove Knausgaard [1]. From there, you see some names you might recognize (Rene Girard, Rilke, Ibsen, Proust, Borges, Ferrante).

But you also find Paul Celan [2], Sigrid Undset [3], Knut Hamsun [4], Peter Handke [5]

Request to downvoters: could you explain why?

This seems like an interesting and relevant comment. Are there factual inaccuracies? Do you disagree with the characterization of Anandkumar?

It would be useful to know what's wrong, as this comment will otherwise be pretty strongly informing my opinion on this topic.
Besides the banks and financial services themselves?

I would expect them to lobby against KYC since it internalizes the costs. No business wants to take on costs that could otherwise be passed on to others. That is the core of why regulations are needed.
Jira is basically the Excel of task management. As my coworker says if Excel I also attribute to Jira: it is the most abused tool.

Visitation by extraterrestrials, or alternately the revelation that we have been or are actively being visited.

Keep in mind that the existence of extraterrestrial life, and by implication some amount of ET intelligence, is an explicit scientific prediction. This prediction is even more solid now that we've identified hundreds of extrasolar planets in habitable zones, many of which orbit stars older than ours. We have no good explanation for why we don't see aliens already even though we probably should, an observation known as the Fermi paradox.

It's worth thinking about what effect this might have on culture, philosophy, religion, economy, etc. To give just one example of a huge implication: all of biological and human history would have to be re-evaluated from the perspective that the Earth is not a closed system.

Contact by radio should also be considered and is probably more likely, but physical contact either today or in the past would have wider consequences.

When I read the list of reasons "Why Jira Sucks" what came to mine was the Charlie Kaufman movie "Synecdoche, New York". In that movie, a playwright keeps expanding the scope of a play to more and more encompass the scope of reality itself. Likewise, some of the points (1, 2, 3, 5...) in the writer of "Why Jira Sucks" wants Jira to be bigger, to encompass the variety of ways work can flow.

If you browse around on Goodreads, you find a lot of people that hit this milestone. But I don't really understand how. My e-reader tells me that based on the number of books I've read and the hours I've spent reading them, one book per week would be a full-time job. Although I recognize that I'm probably a much slower reader than average.

If you consider all English fiction books published in , say, the last 75 years, there are beautiful opportunities that you may be foregoing. Don’t just think of books from the last few years or even from your lifetime.

Try something from a Pulitzer Prize winner, Booker Prize for Fiction , Nobel Prize for Literature, or National Book Award.

For example, John Steinbeck has some amazing novels that are often overlooked. Hemingway. There are many such authors.

I am not sure how I feel about “X books this year” types of goals. Sounds like this could encourage reading thin, “quick” books. Why don’t people do something like “read for X hours a week” instead? Unless “Y books read” is the end-goal in itself (not thinking/learning), which would be a bit silly.

Now it's 1939 and an underworld of ex-Nazis has taken root in London, where they are essentially an oppressed minority.

It’s on my list now too. Thanks.
You may also enjoy a lot of Hemingway's stuff, Wind, Sand, and Stars by de Saint-Exupéry, Out of Africa by Karen Blixen and West With the Night by Berly Markham -- all memoirs (except for Hemingway's non-memoirs) very similar in style and beauty.

If anyone else has recommendations along these lines of memoirist or novelists with excellent command of beautiful, but very simple English I'd love to hear.
