That's not what the parent comment is saying - it's saying that earned praise is not given at the same rate for males as for females.

Is it Jira that sucks or the management methodologies that cause it to be such a dumpster fire? Scrum-style management is the norm now: it is increasingly difficult to escape it now. So this means project managers are chasing burndown metrics and the like, and organizing everything on boards that are tweaked to death.

Atlassian is basically the centre of the so-called "Agile" industry these days. Jira is just a reflection of it.
There's a lot of doubt internationally that Gulen was behind the coup attempt. And there are some that believe it was a false flag operation to allow Erdogan to solidify his power.
It seems more likely that a third variable is effecting both reading amount and education performance for boys.

A shot in the dark guess could be that the attention industry (and the ad industry in general) is better at targeting boys grabbing them away from both homework and at home reading at a greater scale then the other genders.
The author left an FAQ here: https://www.quaxio.com/pure_css_digital_clock.css
I've removed a bunch of features over the years from Blink/Chromium so I get where they're coming from (and I've written basically the same rationale about the implementation being buggy and unmaintained/not on a path to shipping).

That said, while I don't have access to the user research they quote, I do wonder if this move is short sighted in the bigger picture of desktop apps being built with web tech.

Given the popularity of Electron and the recent gaming platforms built as PWAs, it seems likely apps will probably start being distributed as desktop PWAs in the near future. With this move Firefox have cut themselves out of the running though so they'll get caught off guard when some big name player releases a popular desktop app through this channel.

I can only hope that someone at Mozilla is taking business strategy into account and not only technical complexity.

> Why do you believe devs alone define the "actual priority"? This stuff is collaborative,

I do not believe that, of course it is collaborative. Some things are emergent, some are not. Some can be neatly broken down into fixed length tasks, some cannot. Some are planned, some are not. Some are top-down, some are bottom up. Some are obvious business function items, some are leftfield ideas.

I'm just feeding back that attempting to mediate and regulate that collaboration via JIRA is a bad idea. A common, and bad idea.
I don't believe HN is the right place to engage in political discussions but I need to clarify couple of points.

> Turkey wants a fight.

You need to make clear references about what and who you refer to when you say "Turkey".

Even with a totally oppressed media and everything else, Erdogan's support in Turkey is in the band of 30-40%. Majority of Turkish citizens are not happy with him.

Western world keeps doing the some mistake (if not on purpose) as they do with Russia, skipping that difference when bringing up all the negativity about him. As Putin, this just helps him solidifying his base, by using this to create a common enemy outside of Turkey.

With that said, I don't believe even Erdogan himself wants to have any fight with anyone outside of Turkey but just trying to protect country's interest internationally. That's why although his support is in a band of 30-40%, a solid 85% of Turkish people are supporting his international policies.
This is crazy. Not even considering the intention behind it, I can't see the penalty being that serious either, on the face of it, is this not just a destruction of private property ?

What kind of punishment could the employee be looking at ?
You can automate the same thing with JIRA if you use bitbucket. I even saw process automation with Github and JIRA. This is just an excuse I heard from devs 100 times.
> Should a human that can live for 1000 years be allowed to access interest rates that 100 year humans get?

Curious that you've framed the question in non-market terms (allowed by whom?).

> A 1,000 year human has many more opportunities

No more so than 10 generations of 100 year humans. People can and do coordinate over long time spans and multiple generations. Heck, that's basically what a corporation is.

> compounding interest will only grow his wealth further

Only insofar as they have deferred consumption for longer. This is how interest works.

> At the end of it, they have $358,816,... a huge amount of money.

Signifying the economic benefit from deferring consumption and instead putting those resources to productive use. This is a Good Thing.

> So any interest paid to the traveler should be calculated at the fraction of time experienced, so 5 minutes to 5 days would be 1 / 1440.

As you've described it, those travelers will already be more inclined to accept a lower interest rate than non-travelers. What's the problem?
> Fixing a bug without filing a JIRA ticket is in itself progress.

When I see comments like this I have to wonder if you've ever worked on a team with more than one person on it.

Without some kind of ticketing system—JIRA, Pivotal, heck Trello—How do you know a bug is getting worked on? How do you even know which bugs are a priority? Are the designs complete for the next feature I'm building? How does QA know to review your changes? (Yes QA is still a thing in some places and for good reason)

When I was a solo dev, I would meet with the rest of the stakeholders weekly and establish what I was working on. But on a bigger team this quickly becomes impractical. Even with the 8 person team I work on now I'd have no idea who was working on what without having some kind of tracking system.
It boils down to what those targeted efforts are. If they are removing bias against a group, fine. If they are introducing artificial favoritism for the group, that's problematic as now others are losing equal opportunity.

There have been modern kids authors that focus on boys: Darren Shan's vampire series, Anthony Horowitz's Alex Rider books, Rick Riordan, the Artemis Fowl series, etc. Jon Scieszka did his Time Warp Trio books for example. Dav Pilkey did Captain Underpants and various other series. There's the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, and more.

However, the massive bulk of the market ends up being targeted towards women. It's something where you'd need to actually look on shelves for, as there's a weird dynamic where in female-dominated markets or places, you have male "figurehead" things while the rest of the market is dominated by and caters to women.

I noticed this in Christian fiction ironically. You will see a big author like Ted Dekker doing his spiritual action adventure/fantasy/mild horror for a wide audience, but the huge bulk of the books are historical/amish/mystery romance aimed at women, to the point where no male alternatives exist. Even the small religious science fiction market is female dominated soft romantic sf.

In this case it's milking established demographics, as the religion itself has a mild demographics issue (not enough men.) But go look at a young adult shelf sometime; even superhero books feature women protagonists and are targeted to them now.
I don't think that's a conscious decision though. What happens is:

Some people are concerned about accessibility but the JavaScript doesn't work in iOS. Others have iOS support but they screwed up cache headers and it's super slow on any low bandwidth connection.

Balancing all those things (and that's a very incomplete list) is hard and it's not fair to expect side/hobby/oss projects to do it 100%.

I disagree. What makes JIRA a pain is that it has too much. It tries to be a solution for every possible workflow and ends up being a slow, clunky, and confusing solution for all of them.

I personally think the best thing Atlassian could do is spin of JIRA into multiple apps which all use the same core, but have different interfaces designed for different workflows. Of course, that's much easier said than done with such a ubiquitous monolith as JIRA.
Absolutely. I learned Ruby at the same time as Rails, and then when I started using Ruby by itself I saw how much heavy lifting ActiveSupport had been doing for me.
> IP assignments (i.e. "what you do belong to us") is very much enforceable and very common.

Not true. By law, the work you create in CA on your own time on your own equipment cannot be claimed by the employer.

That's part of what creates Silicon Valley: you moonlight on your startup while working full time until you're ready to take off.

The text from this section is always present in any CA employment contract:
https://california.public.law/codes/ca_lab_code_section_2870

Now, sure, there is the gray area introduced by clause a.1. "relate" but as long as you can steer clear of that the law is quite straightforward.

Apple may have tons of lawyers and AFAIK is not a very employee-friendly place, but they shouldn't be above the law.

> It's pretty difficult to make any real progress on issues of equal access if any targeted efforts to improve access for particular groups are going to be characterised as "giving others the shaft".

It depends on whether the efforts go from "equal access" to positive discrimination, and I'm not sure where that line is drawn or if people are interested in drawing it
> Do you have anything to back up this wrong claim? It very much seems like this is a matter of perspective.

It's pretty straightforward economics, and the rest of my comment explains it, I think.

> Again this seems like perspective. The taxpayers as a group may be subsidizing themselves but the individual making enough to support themselves would be subsidizing others. So from their perspective they are paying for a company’s unwillingness or inability to pay a living wage.

The question is: where does the economic benefit of the subsidy flow? And the answer to that is primarily back to consumers, not to companies. It flows to companies primarily in the sense that it allows some companies to exist that wouldn't otherwise exist. But it's not clear exactly how making them not exist would benefit anyone.
I spent a summer in Palmdale to do an internship with an aerospace company, and pre-COVID I used to go to SoCal a few times per year to visit friends and attend concerts. I wouldn’t want to commute from the Antelope Valley to Los Angeles every day due to the legendary traffic there. However, if I work remotely, then the commute to Los Angeles becomes less of a problem. There’s also the Metrolink train, which I took whenever I wanted to explore the LA area (I didn’t have a car at the time of my internship).
Yes, thank you. I am not one to mince words but think people make a huge mistake when they talk about what ${country} wants instead of ${country.leader} or ${party}
It won't be recording video to its SD card, just outputting the moving image you get in the little preview screen out of HDMI as well.

I guess the heat comes from the expensive encoding, which doesn't happen here. But yeah, the camera should ideally also be able to powered by cable and not just battery only. And it should have a setting so that the preview screen have no UI elements...
No, a git commit is not transparent to product, QA, devops, infosec teams.

Opening a jira issue to document a change that everyone should be aware of can take me literally one minute, and I've even assigned it to the sprint and version.

"Developers don't like JIRA, they love GitHub": these are some generalizations that can often be true. However, you can also automate JIRA using your VCS of choice. You somehow make the assumption that only GitHub git + GitHub issues can be automated.
> entirely different countries currently in the things that matter.

I don't know, there seems to be quite some common ground when it comes to food and drink, for example. That's part (and the result) of some shared culture, I'd say. Isn't it nice to realize that your neighbors might be people just like you are, who like to take their coffee in quite a similar way?
Fwiw I never liked roguelikes but absolutely love Hades. Both for the way they handle progression and the story.
Mr, in democratic societies voicing your views is protected by the freedom of speech. However hate speech and extremist groups preaching it should be prosecuted, as criminal organizations. A Jewish philosopher has advocated for this stance (whose name I've forgotten). Are you a sympathizer of this group by any chance? Why do you think it would be beneficial for a person living in a Western country being subjected to extreme violence, intolerance and hate speech?
That's because males naturally use aggression/assertiveness to establish social hierarchy. That's the reason for having all-boys groups for youth, it gives them a space to work that out in a controlled way and learn how to channel their energy and aggression in positive directions.

At the risk of being draconian, okay, fine, you don't know who "ultimately" signed Fred up for your service, but HEY, Fred was signed up illegally, so it's still your fault.

I'd like to think that suddenly, companies would get a LOT more careful about who they let sign up to be partners, if they're now at risk.

Don't we already do this kind of things with banks, in other words KYC ("Know Your Customer")? A long term business relationship is worth a bit of hassle.
You can rerun quests indefinitely, so you've effectively got infinite lives; I'm not sure I'd qualify Dungeons as roguelike. I play it with my kid too, but admit that I'm a bit of a purist where it comes to the definition of roguelikes -- IMO, hardcore is mandatory.

If a little CLI app to do something useful (instead of say, some shell script/batch file or something) is your entry point then you might try cligen [1]. Everyone is different, but from many and varied reports (e.g. in this very thread [2]), it is hugely more probable that you get up & running with some basic skills in like 30 minutes to 4 hours or so with Nim than you would with Rust. Nim really seems to "scale up gracefully" for most.

I was more thinking about migrating away from Excel fully rather than interfacing with Excel from Python.

I agree that to interact with Excel programmatically VBA is a better choice (and no doubt C#/VB.NET as well, but I have no direct experience). For what it's worth, for interacting with Excel and Office more generally, I've always though VBA is extremely well designed.
Can't read the whole thing. But I started my first job when I was 13. When school was not in I worked 40 hours a week or longer and when school was in I still got 20+ hours. I was paid 4.15 a hour, and have had a w2 every except two. I am now nearly 39.

I assume thr problem is the wage? As long as it is on par with local wages I can't find a issue with 14 year olds working.

Being able to work at age 13 was one of the single best things that allowed me to succeed, and move from what was surely doomed to be a poverty ridden life to making 6 figures by 30.

Much if my daily work life still uses skills and work ethic built from those days working long hours in thr hot sun picking up other people's trash.
Having used my Canon 80D as a webcam after Canon released a beta tool that made it possible to stream video over USB, I would personally recommend against trying this. Yes, it's doable, and yes the video quality is much better. But the logistics of mounting a full sized camera, or even most mirrorless cameras, to a desk somewhere close to your monitor is surprisingly annoying.

While a separate webcam perched on top of your monitor produces lower quality, it comes with fewer tradeoffs when you're not actively using it. I suspect that you need to be a professional streamer/youtuber before the tradeoffs make it make sense.
FWIW, out of sync video isn’t too much of an issue for video calls. I’ve worked the past 8 months with 800-1200ms latency on video (satellite) and 25-50ms latency on voice (VoLTE) combined.

The only issue is when someone is annotating while sharing their screen and moves too quickly.
As with all of these types of posts there are those who complain about how women (or insert any protected class) have unfair advantages. They seem to see the world as a zero sum. If anyone class has an advantage, the other class will be disadvantaged.

The proposed solution is usually to do a blind audition. If you don't know anything about the candidate there is no discrimination. However this seems to have a major flaw. How do you account for all of the disadvantages that occurred before or might occur after the blind audition?
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. All it takes is one shady company with an SS7 link and they can resell access for all manor of spoofing. The SS7 network really has no concept around levels of trust or banning specific connections from specific types of messages. It's a very ancient system, much older than the internet. It's only newer than the even more ancient "A" series mechanical phone switch networks. To overhaul such a system on such a large scale would require building out a new system in parallel in my opinion. I can not even fathom the level of bureaucratic battles, legal battles required for such an undertaking.

Back in the day, I wanted to nix a SS7 link to a shady vendor that was spamming cell phones. I got in trouble for that. "They are paying their bills, leave them alone and keep your nose out of it". That is another aspect of the problem. Even if a telco wanted to stop abuse on their own network, it would not be permitted unless they are legally obligated to do so. Even then, telco's have more lobbyists than all the silicon valley big tech combined, no exaggeration. That is just based on my very dated experience. I have long since left telco and very happy I did.

I've been hooked on Noita these days. A pixel-based physics simulator, like Powder Toy from long ago, with spellcasting and a ton of secrets. One run, I can focus on incrementally improving a wand that shoots a simple bolt like a machine gun. The next run, I'm tunneling through the ground and popping up like the monsters from Tremors.

Dying repeatedly means I'm forced to cobble together different strategies. I had a run where I save-scummed, mostly to see parts of the game I couldn't reach at my skill level. But relying on the same build for boring, and I haven't save-scummed since.
Except that they do make more of a difference than anyone else, and people continue to vilify them.
I like FL. A strange place, but onto something: sharing process rather than end product. Individual progress tracking, open journal, comments — the coolest part though is the Daily feature in which you choose the journals (think activities) you want to do, well, daily... and then check them off every day. A more process oriented way of organizing your day’s work rather than time based, which I think is especially useful for free agents, artists, creators, etc.
Coincidentally I just got one to use as a console for a Raspberry Pi.

It works well, but bear in mind it introduces a ~650ms lag, so anything interactive (e.g. typing on a keyboard) becomes noticeable.

But for $13 you can't expect much more. Even a $200 Elgato HD60 S+ has 280ms lag, so 15x lower cost for half performance seems a good deal.
So we're just playing semantic games at this point, using different definitions of terms. The definition of "exactly once" you're using isn't the formal definition.
