I honestly wish it was that simple for us but convincing management is a fairly sales-driven approach and our marketing model is heavily self-serve. We do have a product called Jira Align that's targeted closer to what you're describing. I'd attribute more of the spread to the concept of "Jira is the defacto" fwiw.

Chuckled at convincing managers to track less data. Internally we subscribe to a "less is more" approach and try to limit required fields as much as possible. I bet we feel more willing to contact Jira admins to make changes, though, since we own the product itself.

Concur that migrating away from Jira is tough and probably helps keep people in the ecosystem. I haven't met anyone at Atlassian, though, who ever wanted that to be the reason why people stay. I think Jira can be awesome when it's set up well but some stakeholders can get a bit, uh, heavy-handed when deciding on "the process".
This, I feel like I have already read all of the books I'll really like.

Fortunately, I'm still just a single male. So I only have myself to worry about. Given COVID's characteristics, I obviously don't want to get it... but its more important for my parents to not get it.

The good news is I'm not entirely alone: only about half my family are on that thinking. I can lean with my younger-sister, who is a medical doctor, for the shock-and-awe strategy. She's seen the issues first hand and can describe them in more detail than I ever could.

But these family COVID19 talks are non-trivial to talk about, and require strategy and preparation. Maybe others don't care what happens to their family and just ignore it, but I lack that level of apathy.

I believe there's a similar clause in the German constitution. Something about all those people claiming at Nuremburg to just be following orders.
There's a phenomenon I have noticed where things like these are okay to discuss if they involve someone else's government or if they are far enough back in the past.

But there is some cut-off point closer to present day where sinister-sounding allegations about one's own government automatically become "insane conspiracy theories".

It's just good to know that anything bad they were doing is over now. It must be. Because the US government, and all of its agencies and military actions, despite a few bad apples in the past, is trustworthy and true to the pure mission of democracy and freedom for all. And there are never any "means to an end" "ethical compromises" anymore. Other countries, sure. But ours? No, of course we rooted all of that out. Only the pure of heart survive here. The pure light of Democracy doesn't permit evil or corruption or subversion to survive.

And anyone who suggests otherwise and makes a serious allegation against the government or admits a fundamental lack of trust for it, is definitely mentally ill and should be publicly noted as such.

These are extremely twisted interpretations - a better way to read that is "Don't be a dick whether or not you took an oath - be truthful in all things."

Those interpretations don't surprise me though since, like with any other group of people, there are a bunch of evangelical christians that bend the tenants of the group beyond a breaking point to suit their own interest.
So there needs to be a way to report them anonymously?
What? Get rid of the oaths entirely. It's just pageantry. It's the most human thing in the world to twist words to your desire and then justify it morally through rationist gymnastics.

Every time I see one of these demos showcasing the constraints they used, it always seems to remind me why nobody does that.

And its not because of the challenge, its because of the result. Which makes me more surprised that other people's activity puts this stuff on my feeds at all.
First, the technical know-how to use a VoIP number is not accessible to everyone. Maybe it's accessible to a good portion of people in the Bay Area because almost everyone knows someone who works in tech, but there's a lot more people out there.

And second, if enough senior citizens were on VoIP numbers, I bet that's exactly where scammers would target next.

The solution you're suggesting isn't so much to switch to a product that's inherently better, but to switch to a product that only people who don't fall victim to scams are using.
> Part of the problem is the conceptual designs around the SS7 signalling network. Trust is all or none. If you allow a switch in {x} country to connect to your switches, then they can spoof calls.

Why does the problem have to be tackled from the direction of extending the wire protocol? It seems like it would be straightforward to tackle it from the business end first: a major phone company declares that it will block spoofing on calls originating in its network, and will only accept calls coming into its network from partners who make the same commitment to not allow spoofed calls onto their networks. This doesn't require any changes to the technology used to connect phone networks, just changes to the business arrangements (a threat of blacklisting).

(If you don't want to take quite such a hardline approach, then require that all calls either originate from a network that is trusted to have valid caller ID data, or the caller ID data is stripped from the call. And then give all end users the option of blocking calls with blank caller ID.)

The problem is there are clear tipping points - where one extra ton could trigger outsized negative outcomes. And worse, one tipping point could trigger many others. Scientists just don't know when they will trigger.

For example, the loss of sheet ice. And bleaching events themselves in the reefs too I suspect would fall in this category.

I was able to use venv and install tox and tox-pyenv locally to use tox. I also installed pyenv with brew. I had many problem with scientific packages in python projects mostly, the incompatibility between different versions of libraries, I use Conda for those projects, and venv for other projects not dependent on numpy and scikit-learn.
I think empathy helps (the ability to look at a situation from someone else's point of view). Reading things written by others (especially fiction) can help hone this skill.
I'm pretty certain we did - and that mi5 equivalent is the CIA.
Just to echo that going to Ryzen made a world of difference. I had a big jump from some intel APU part to the 5600x - makes jetbrains much more pleasant.

I'm not planning on switching back over, but others in the family are and Jetbrains packages were always clearly "slow" so speed of the chips actually made a difference to my eyes.
I dunno, I think the problem is not having a project-specific location for your deps. Obviously you want global deps for a console scripting language, but if you are doing any sort of bigger project, having a global deps location (which is implicitly resolved by the language, no less) is unacceptable for reproducible development for larger projects today. The env hack that python managers like conda and venv use is, IMO, extremely dangerous, because it's hiding state.

These days I use languages that don't do this for my daily drivers, it's better for my sanity.
Uh, didn’t Israel sell weapons to the Azeris because they buy their oil? Pretty sure there’s realpolitik going on
> We have actual issues at play here

The only actual issue in play for you personally is COVID, and I've already said I agree with your judgment about the "COVID is a hoax" belief being a lie. My point about "unreliable sources" was not that your particular judgment about COVID was wrong; it was to try to get at the root cause of why your belief is so dramatically different from your family's, and why I think it will be so difficult to get them to change.

However, I am perfectly willing to give specific answers to the specific questions you ask:

> do I go to New Years celebration or not with my family?

Based on what you have described, I wouldn't go if I were in your place. My wife and I have refused to participate in some gatherings with her family for much the same reasons (their belief is not as extreme as "COVID is a hoax", but we are not confident enough in them taking the proper precautions to risk it, particularly as my wife already has some chronic health issues).

> Do I follow them to Disney World next month?

Same answer as above. (Note that in this case, you also have to worry about how reliable other people at Disney World are at taking proper precautions.)

> How much should I work to convince my family that flying on an airplane is a bad idea?

Based on what you've described, unfortunately I think you have very little chance of succeeding between now and next month, so to me it's more a matter of how much risk of permanently alienating your family you are willing to take in an attempt that will almost certainly be futile.

Why do I think you have very little chance of succeeding? Well, that's what my discussion about sources of information was about. You think the problem is to convince your family that "COVID is a hoax" is a lie. But I think your problem is much harder: to convince your family that the sources of information they trust are so unreliable that they should stop trusting them and start trusting the sources of information that you trust instead. Which is going to be a very heavy lift since the sources of information you trust have also told lies.

It's possible that you refusing to go, and explaining why, will move the needle some.

> Do I just watch them recklessly endanger their lives to see Mickey Mouse?

I'm very sorry that you find yourself in such a position, and I'm also very sorry that I don't have any good ideas for how you could stop them between now and next month. Unfortunately, for the reasons I have given above, I don't have any such ideas, other than refusing to go yourself and making sure to explain to them why you are refusing.
Autonomous vehicles will be unleashed in urban environments. They will kill people in unacceptable scenarios and the industry will be forced to retreat as political and legal pressure mounts. Teleoperation won’t work. Operation of autonomous vehicles in urban environments without a trained safety driver will be severely restricted until there’s a major AGI breakthrough.
If all that was on offer from the beginning was taking out a few lackeys like Manafort and Stone obviously it wouldn't have captured liberals' attention the way it did. They were expecting a big break of evidence that Trump was a Manchurian candidate installed by the master Svengali Putin. It was a classic psychological deflection tactic on liberals' part, "Trump's election can't be a symptom of any real institutional rot in America, it's just a result of dirty foreign tricks that will be exposed and easily rectified by removing Trump."

Do development tools really need a11y? I haven't come across anyone with this need before.
You want devs to not care about anything but fixing technical problems though.

At the end of the day: technical problems can have hard constraints that dictate the usefulness of your product and the people who have the skills to investigate and fix them should be dedicated to using those skills to fix such problems. Worrying about users, funders and other teams is what Product/Project and Engineering managers are meant for.

I do agree with you that it’s not practical to spend infinite time on fixing a problem. But it’s not strange for an engineer to think that way; in fact engineers who are willing to dig deep and at least root cause the issues (if not outright fix them) are very valuable to have.
Your extreme stance is not helping the cause. I recognize, for instance, that the HTML select element, with its current limitations, is unsuitable for some real-world use cases. We shouldn't tell application developers that they're wrong to need something more complex than what the NCSA Mosaic team (edit: or maybe Netscape) defined in the 90s. We need to meet developers where they are and make it as easy as possible for them to do the right thing.
> Make distrusting the intelligence agencies cool again.

How about "make citing sources and referring explicitly to documented acts of corruption cool again."
Which is unlawful if your users are in Europe (and also possibly of they're just from Europe?). You are obliged not to discriminate against users who choose not to be tracked (or whatever).

> While by no means an expert, I'm inclined to respectfully disagree with the assessment of /u/scythmic_waves.

Not a problem! These are all just my opinions.

> Analysis, Topology, and proof-based Linear Algebra are certainly not needed for them

Although this is explained in the prose of the document, I should have highlighted it myself: only the nodes in blue are required. The orange nodes (Analysis, Topology, Functional Analysis, etc.) are extra. They aren't required for ESL.

Honestly, as long as you get up to the level of the Casella & Berger text, you'll probably be fine. And a lot of C&B can be skipped (like the focus on ANOVA or experiment design). But I also like that roadmap because after C&B, there's additional emphasis on Linear models which is helpful for ESL.

> For the rest, I'm of the, perhaps naive, school of thought that one ought to jump in the deep end, and consult a variety of sources as need be.

And I suppose this is where you and I differ. I find it discouraging to need to stop partway though a text and go learn a whole new subject area before continuing. Instead, I find that building up the foundation and then working through a text to be a more enjoyable experience because it's just building on what I know.

But to each their own!

Anima deleted her twitter. I think even she realized how over the top her behavior made her look.
This began from a controversy where Anima Anandkumar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anima_Anandkumar), Director of AI at nvidia, posted a list of people she blocked on Twitter, encouraging her followers to "cancel" them. I wrote more about this and linked to her tweets in a past discussion at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25419871, but Anima Anandkumar has since deleted her tweets and then her account.

One of her targets is Pedro Domingos, who is a professor at the University of Washington and a well-known expert in the space (he authored "The Master Algorithm"). Domingos is also known for being against the infiltration of "woke" culture into academic institutions, because it corrupts the purity of research and introduces political biases. This came up recently because NeurIPS (an AI conference) is going to require an "impact statement" for all submitted research papers, which has raised concerns about political bias at the conference, since researchers will likely include pandering progressive impact statements just to get through the process without controversy. Anandkumar has been one of the prominent activists pushing for NeurIPS to include impact statements, and was formerly involved in a campaign to push NeurIPS to be renamed from NIPS to NeurIPS (https://www.wired.com/story/ai-researchers-fight-over-four-l...).

This new letter to ACM was already discussed on Hacker News (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25575321). The letter includes Domingos as an initial signatory, and the group the letter is being sent to (Communications of the ACM) lists Anima Anandkumar (who tried to cancel him) on their Editorial Board (https://cacm.acm.org/about-communications/editorial-board/).
Effective communication includes phrasing arguments in ways that are less likely to trigger filters in the other party.

Lines like this make some people prone to just dismissing what you have to say because you come off as anti-US, anti-Western, pro-communist, or whatever they perceive that line to imply. It also looks like you are virtue-signaling to people who already share your point of view.
I do security research and bug bounties on side sometimes and had read/write access to a couple of large open source projects in the past, incl. being able to impersonate employees from well known companies that work on open source stuff.

Most common issue was access tokens found in public places.

Would be interesting to know what happens when code is updated - which I obviously wouldn't do. Wonder how long it would take until caught.

Since open source projects probably dont do "red teaming" (to use a fancy buzz word) I wonder how they could practice this?
I'm not sure where you get the idea that I'm vaguely moralizing -- elsewhere in this thread I recommend a 2020 book called Less is More (https://www.jasonhickel.org/less-is-more) that contains analysis of these problems and very specific strategies for addressing them.

It's well understood that wealthy countries, and especially the US, generate far more junk than poorer ones. We don't need to, and there's a big difference between sustainable strategies for getting people what they need and hoping (because, without planning, that's all we're doing) that capitalism will solve this problem through even greater amounts of consumption.
FarmVille was dope, it's crazy how we humans are so attracted to agriculture it must be our agricultural past that is hard kicking in our genes to this day. Although not long ago majority of people were working in agriculture.
So a typical actuary’s technological reference point is stuck in 1985? That explains a lot about excel and sas egp. But seriously, calling a fairly standard computer in the tech world a “supercomputer” is just another example of the underlying attitude in insurance that makes many actuaries recoil in horror about the thought of “programming” aka learning python or any programming best practices.
TIL! Kinda surprising none of them suffered any repercussions but I suppose enough time had passed it wasn't considered worth drawing attention to it.
The problem is there are clear tipping points - where one extra ton could trigger outsized negative outcomes. And worse, one tipping point could trigger many others. Scientists just don't know when they will trigger, but with every increase in temperature the greater the risk.

Ehh, the average unlocked item in games like Gungeon might be "sidegrades" but your character's power level is generally driven not by the average item, but by the single best item you found. And for that reason, unlocking a small number of exceptionally good items does tend to make the game much, much easier. Gungeon has quite a few things to unlock that greatly trivialize the game, e.g. Clone.

Agree. I have never enjoyed running docker on my laptop. If I have to use Docker, I use it on a remote Linux server. I had good experience with Vagrant if I have to use a linux environment locally. The only good thing with Docker on macOS is that you don't need to sudo it.
The fight against totalitarian communism is full of great examples of the principle that if you fight against an enemy there's a tendency to become that enemy. COINTELPRO is only one example. Another is the fact that we placed much of the US economy under at least indirect state control via the Cold War national security state in order to battle the evil of state controlled economies.

I saw the same thing after 9/11 when there seemed to be a strong push for some kind of theocracy in the USA, albeit of a far lighter variety than was found in Afghanistan, and a general revival of ultra-right reactionary ideologies that somewhat resemble those of the 9/11 hijackers. We also surrendered a great deal of freedom (especially privacy) to battle those terrorists who supposedly hate our freedom.

Edit: I can keep going... during WWII we put Japanese Americans in camps.
Wow.

For a manager, this could easily have been written as:

It makes me 2 seconds to look in our issue tracking system to see if a bug has been fixed, vs opening a terminal, find the project, curse at grep for being useless,...

Of course omitting steps in your favorite solution makes it look easier.

And how is testing/validation tracked in how you use git?

Most of us don't work in a vacuum without managers, testers, customers.

And for the record, I as a developer also hate Jira, but we have to look at a reasonable solution.
