When my team had an important as-quickly-as-possible sprint, we dropped Jira and switched to Google Docs as it was much easier and faster than Jira.

My conclusion was that Jira doesn't do much for developers that can't be done in some Google Docs/Sheets.
Yes and I thought it make sense. Do people not just use Electron App on Desktop? I mean the App would be packaged as such most consumer wont even notice.

And I thought some of the comments in the Bug Tracker were quite hostile.

Isn’t that covered by Share -> Add to Home Screen?
Very OT (and hope this is not frowned upon) but just want to say thank you for introducing me to "bailiwick". As a non-native speaker I will make it my goal for 2021 to use it in a sentence!
I agree. The article came across as a programmer griping about Excel and VBA, while praising his/her favorite tooling as the answer to some programmer-centric greivances.
SAT is a key technology in electronic design automation (EDA), the industry making the tools allowing designing chips. From [1]:

"Within EDA, SAT solvers are used for such disparate tasks as test pattern generation, circuit delay computation, logic optimization, combinational equivalence checking, bounded model checking and functional test vector generation."

Improvement in SAT solving allows designing more and more complex chips.

In software it's used for formal checking, through SMT (Satisfiability Modulo Theory [2]). SMT is an extension of SAT. For an example application, Microsoft is using their z3 SMT solver [3], now open source, for the automated Windows driver verification process.

Sending an email with SWF was not the intention, but you could easily host your SWF anywhere and give a URL and they could play your game, most of the time cross platform except those few years where they weren't updating the linux SWF player to the latest version (which got fixed again later). If you can't host it yourself, you could put it on websites like newgrounds.
does anybody use monday.com ? it looks very capable at high level (and addresses some of those observability issues stated in the site)
I built https://www.tomati.io/ to rate restaurants (mostly in Canada and west coast US) based on their health inspection scores.
Turned out the demand wasn't there and it's not super fun maintaining scrappers for a bunch of crappy government run inspection websites.
What's the current recommended way of getting your photos out from Google Photos? And I don't mean manually via Google Takeout (that's a dumpster fire and doesn't work most of the time) but I'd like to automate it for periodic backups. You never know when you Google Account might be killed, taking tens of years of pictures and videos with it :(
Not in that codebase as it was a tutorial / wanted to ensure it's callable from safe Rust code so stuck with `_mm256_loadu_ps`. That code was just playing with dot product like lookup over vectors on CPU. The code I'm more interested in is trying to cram models into ~L2/L3 cache such that a CPU optimized model can be trained on GPU to be deployed on CPU.
That already exists - it's flash's creative suite from adobe, and it exports to html5/canvas. Now of course, it's harder to pirate since it's a subscription service now-a-days (like photoshop).

I don't think the problem is a lack of tools. It's more fundamental.
The only reason I don't use AWS is because of their terrible documentation and shady pricing strategy. It's a pity.
Amazon is a legally fictitious straw man created as a mechanism for millions of shareholders to employ thousands of workers to deliver goods and services to paying customers. Every Amazon shareholder and employee who makes enough money through this arrangement pays income taxes, or perhaps capital gains taxes.

If you want to uphold the principle that Jeff Bezos should pay more taxes than Grandma, don’t tax Jeff Bezos and Grandma’s pension fund at the same rate. That’s what corporate taxes effectively do.

The difference in authoring tool is the big one here. Flash let artists and even kids (like myself aged 12) start making really fun interactive websites that could be hosted very very simply.

But I lay the blame for that with Adobe. Why didn’t they just adapt the Flash application to output html and JavaScript? If you can compile modern JS to old with babbel I don’t see why they couldn’t have an interpreter to turn action script into JS and render everything to a canvas. They had a massive community who would have loved it. Instead they just kinda gave up.
> In Rust, read-only borrows accomplish that

Things are already quite 'read-only' in Haskell ;)

If you want to touch a list twice, don't mark it as linear.

That said, reading a list length (in O(n) time) and then performing an operation on it is usually an anti-pattern. Kind of like scanning a file to count how many lines it has, and then doing something to each line. So linearity could help you ensure that you don't make this mistake.
Great example of designing things out and ‘why not just?’
Bohmian mechanics (pilot wave theory) is not the same as traditional QM, it is a stronger theory from which traditional QM can be derived (of course, we don't know if it's correct yet).

Examples of interpretations of QM that are mathematically equivalent are Copenhagen and Many Worlds. Examples of theories that are stronger (make more predictions than) QM are Objective Collapse theories, de Broglie - Bohm Pilot Wave theory, Superdeterminism.

Wrote an addin for Excel which offloaded workbook computation to the GPU for about 10-20x speed improvement.

Posted a video demo on YouTube and keep getting the few odd messages once a month asking if it’s available for sale but I’m still clueless on how to properly validate whether it’ll sell.

To make it a complete product would require a lot of time which I don’t have right now
Average user here. Not really interested in jumping through hoops to get addons that seem like they were arbitrarily taken from me. The mobile rewrite shouldn't've been released until it was actually ready, because average users _do not care_ about Mozilla's development convenience.
Interesting. I've found myself being more expressive and using a wider range of tones speaking English than in my native language.
I think you are right: the SLOWNESS is a killer. In fact, I think it is THE show-stopper flaw.

I recently succeeded in an 18-month-long effort to coordinate moving off of JIRA at work. We moved to clubhouse.io and it's been great. We were also looking closely at GitHub Issues + something like ZenHub for the missing project-management features — and that would have been great, too.

As soon as we moved off of JIRA, the amount of communication that started happening in the most relevant place — the bug tracker thread — increased by like... I don't know, something like 20x or 50x.

In our years on JIRA (the hosted plan) virtually nobody every discussed the details of the bugs on JIRA. We filed tickets there, and checked them off when done, and used it to review what had gotten done after each iteration — but nobody used it day-to-day. If discussion was to happen about a bug, it happened on Slack (which is horrible for ever finding it again, but it is fast).

The reason, I believe, is simply that JIRA is waaaayyy tooooo slow. Nobody wanted to use it day-to-day. You made a list of stories at the beginning of the iteration, and you checked it again at at the end of the iteration, to mark the ones you did done. I did this too.

Now, all the discussions directly about the bugs/features in the tracker happen directly on the tracker. Which, I recalled, was how it used to be several years ago before we moved to JIRA (from GitHub issues).

There is a lot of other stuff that is clunky about JIRA but I think we could have probably dealt with it, if it wasn't so slow that every interaction — even simple things like "find and open the bug I was working on most recently" or "see what is assigned to me this iteration" — felt like rm -rf node_modules && npm install and you somehow find yourself checking twitter before it even opens...

Speed matters!
Is SAM itself the end game or does it create some other code (like Cloudformation)?

The reason I'd be reluctant to use it without thoroughly being it is that I don't like using any 3rd party monster suite of modules. I've been bitten by that a few times. You're at the mercy of the 3rd party to continue updating and supporting the modules. On top of that, it may not support a particular user case you want to implement. And it's almost worse if it does, because that likely means that it's no longer a simple wrapper around raw terraform resources, but a huge complex beast.

In this case, I don't think the author necessarily expects the user to directly user his code. It is a set of examples. The modules themselves are very simple (really just one or two raw resources with vars and outputs)
OK fair enough, although there was a big animation community on Youtube and it did get wiped by the algorithm, I'm probably misremembering the timeline.
Person use big words smart!
It’s not only bad passwords you’re battling against but social engineering and poor administrative practices.

I’m comfortable with telling people to turn off password auth on their sshd’s and treat password auth as the exception rather than the rule.

Also, it’s generally a nicer user experience.
I’m building data pipelines in AWS (s3/sqs/dynamo/api gw/lambda/batch) + Snowflake.

Earlier this year I tried to use Terraform for everything, using principle “everything is a resource” (everything in my case is AWS, Datadog and Snowflake), so adopted “terraform apply” as universal deployment interface. Like if we need a ECR task and a Docker image, build the image from within Terraform (using null_resource which runs “docker build”). This approach works for everything but Lambda as Terraform requires a pointer to source code bundle at the plan stage. After unsuccessful fights I gave up for Lambda, so I build bundles prior to “terraform apply” (using “make build”, where build target does its magic of zipping either Go binary or Babashka Clojure sources).

That approach scales well for already two dozens of Lambdas and counting. Ping me if you want more details.

——

I disagree with this tutorial about tendency to use Terraform modules per AWS service, hiding well-documented AWS resources behind the facade of module with custom parameters with long names.
No antagonism. The comment claimed that they have bought an equivalent vechicle, I am wondering what that vechicle is, because to my knowledge there aren't really any good competitors to Tesla, if you consider the combination of the quality (-ish, it's decent), software, battery tech, driving performance and price.
What a shit show. Before the virus, just like before the housing crisis and other issues, people have pointed out failings of the U.S. and they were brushed off by people with the attitude of “nah, can’t be, the U.S. is the greatest country”. But now with COVID-19, it has shown what a complete mess of a state that the U.S. is in, as clear as can be. It is barely functioning it seems and really shows that no, all these questions about the U.S.’ ideology, operations, organization, etc. are not just conspiracy theories. The failings are very real and apparent. But yet, I see almost no real concern among anybody. It feels like a twilight zone in which everyone’s just seemingly cruising along while all these warning signs are everywhere. Unemployment is a nightmare, supply chain inefficiencies are high, gun sales are at an all time high, stock market is bullish, real estate and small business are tanking, etc. I just don’t understand what’s going on, and it is very scary.

My check for paying my landlord was late this month because it was in the mail for over three weeks. It took the RMV almost two months to reply to my inquiry through their official email system (their phone system just hangs up on you and tells you to call back tomorrow). I haven’t seen my fiancée in almost a year now because of lies and inefficiencies in the visa system. Just nothing is normal. Everything is slow. There is no one to get help from. The only option to even attempt to rectify an issue in the U.S. is to hire (i.e. dump thousands into) a lawyer. We, the people and poor, are rather powerless.

It’s just all confusing and scary as to how powerless and vulnerable we all are to the giant corporations and few politicians who run this country. And now with COVID-19, it’s even scarier because of how little anyone cares. There’s a real sense of just burnout or apathy or both.

Let's not be hypocritical. What we really want to know is: did you find/preserve intact DNA? If the answer is yes, I'm not even going to speculate what happens next. We just know it.
Just seeing the threads on the origin of Covid-19 on HN shows that it is very easy to get sucked in conjectures not supported by any facts and to irrationally start believing that something is likely.
So much project management is about gaming internal politics and managing information flow between lower and higher parts of the hierarchy.

These tools market themselves as creating transparency but they are in practice often used to hide or excuse things.

I suppose that is why they all take the tragic path from being heralded as new and fresh in the beginning to absolutely being hated in the end.

Goes for methodologies as well (I remember the agile manifesto ... look at where we are now).

Australian minimum wage is about 15 USD per hour, which is a wage that can sustain people if they do not spend excessively. The economy is not tanking, the same type of jobs exist. Are you claiming that the Australian standard of living is generally horrible as a result of this? That it would otherwise be better for everyone if there were no minimum wage?
Not the founder, 15 years ago, I helped build a browser-based VoIP app. It ran as a Java applet in the browser with Asterisk on the backend and a special device from the mobile phone company that bridged VoIP to their network.

It was a time when mobile plans were still costly, so free calls over the internet sounded good. We got a hotel to implement our service, but it didn't get much use, we killed it a few months later.

Overall it was a few months of work, and I don't regret doing it, but looking back, it probably wasn't a great business model.
Humans don't need lidar -> that means all the information is present in the visual channel -> it is at least theoretically possible to do with cameras -> tesla cars have cameras -> tesla cars might have possibility to do it.
There’s CDK-TF that was already mentioned in another post. Apart from that I’m not sure what you mean with interoperability, because the resources can only be owned by one stack.

For sure stacks created with those frameworks can use resources that are created by Terraform in other stacks. Serverless for example has its own integration with the Parameter Store for encrypted variables, so that there’s no need to use environment variables in that use case. Terraform would then create the Paramter Store keys which SLS could reference.

This is your validation! People are literally reaching out to you asking if they can give you money for it.
Is it still being developed? Joyent doesn't seems to be getting any headlines after they have been acquired by Samsung.
That might seem like a good argument if you only look at the growth rate trending down under the authoritarian regime since the 1970s, but it's actually a bad argument because that trend continued unchanged after the democratic transition.

So if democracy actually has some effect on economic performance, it's not strong enough to overcome broader trends. Which makes sense if you consider that authoritarians like making money, too, so blocking obvious productivity improvements would only be shooting themselves in the foot.
So you already protected most of it - no write access and scoped keys fix most of the issues.

Other potential problems:

- bad checkout location may mean unexpected content is available via .git paths on the web

- anyone with access to the server can copy the key and have external access to both the history of the project and all new commits - they can see the PRs with proposed security fixes before they get merged

- repository may contain domain names, credentials and other things which don't need to be deployed, but can be useful for the attacker doing recon

- potentially exposing information about customers if they got mentioned in the history

It's not terrible to use git directly. There are just ways you can deploy a little bit better if it's worth your time investment.
I dislike you.
But they are not its a subsidy to the low wage employer why as a tax payer should I subsidise Starbucks baristas.

For any accommodation business, their existing data is very valuable (planning, customer service, advertising, accounting). This creates lock in and makes them reluctant to switch. To sell it, you need to address this.
Remember when Aaron Schwarz didn't break the CFAA, or hack into any other person or organisation's private data, but was nonetheless brutally assaulted by the government until he committed suicide?

Then here's Ticketmaster caught literally hacking into their competitors systems and they get a slap on the hand. No one going to jail, no one becoming a felon, no one's life ruined.

Yes, that’s the way I’m seeing it as well. SLS is a much better fit when developing services with lots of integrations with other services IMO, with much less code than Terraform.
For "giant pile of photos I can't be bothered sorting" scenarios (e.g. phone backups), I like Photoprism [0], which is fairly similar to this but seemed more complete last time I tried it out.

Photoprism is also somewhat unique in that it uses Darktable to process RAW photos, so if you use Darktable and have it write XMP sidecars, Photoprism will be able to process the adjustments.

For more curated collections, I prefer Piwigo, as it has a mode where it converts a directory tree into an album tree. It also has pretty good sharing features. Photoprism on the other hand is horrible for pre-curated photos.

No, there are some differences; AFAIK, USB4 can also tunnel USB 3.x (Thunderbolt 3 uses the PCIe tunneling plus a PCIe xHCI USB host on the device), and its compatibility with Thunderbolt 3 is optional.
Why rely on google photos in the first place? If you are taking photos with android devices, you can backup the device folder containing the photos/videos.

Also, I just tried google checkout, and it took about 30 seconds to schedule a google photos only every-2-months-for-a-year recurring takeout of my data. We'll see if it actually works...if it does, it isn't so bad.

Anecdotes from highly biased political news outlets don’t belong here. Let’s bring data and research to the table, instead.
There was one guy who revolted with some unrelated conspiracy stuff and got arrested in his house. A pregnant woman tried to start a party with friends that was flagrantly against the measures and was arrested.

Law and order problems still exist even in a lockdown and I think in Feb we'll see people push back against the oppressive atmosphere.
Very interesting. Is the memory model essentially a middle ground between GC-based and manual memory management?:

> Scope-based memory management (destructors are injected after the scope) - generally reduces RAM usage of the programs and improves performance.

How does Nim handle references? How similar is this to Rust's lifetimes GC-ed instead of manually managed?

Is this essentially like Rust, with the main difference that lifetimes (references) are handled via reference counting?

> Shared heap - different threads have access to the same memory and you don’t need to copy variables to pass them between threads - you can instead move them

I think this is the same as Rust thread move semantics?
