The issue is you have an existing photo in your iCloud that is not in your camera roll (which is something iOS can automatically do so many people have this use case) there was no easy way to transfer those photos to Google.
May be worth noting that the battery life is much better on my M1 MBA than Intel devices, so you don't necessarily need to sacrifice one of the two ports for charging during the day.

It depends upon your use profile, but for me it leaves both available ports for peripherals not just the one that you might expect.
In some languages the documentation is available as essentially a property of the documented object, so pulling up docs in the repl is easy. It isn’t quite a binary choice.
Those key value pairs in chunked encoding ("chunk extensions") are spec'ed to only be hop-by-hop, which makes them more or less completely unsuitable for actually using by end applications. Any proxy or reverse proxy are allowed to strip them. Indeed it can be argued that a conformant proxy is required to strip them, due to MUST ignore unknown extensions value requirement. (I suspect most do not strip them, and there is an argument to be made that blindly passing them through if not changing encoding could be considered ignoring them, but I'm not certain that is actually a conforming interpretation).

Plus surely there are many crusty middleboxes that will break if anybody tried to use that feature. Remember all the hoops websockets had to jump through to have much of a chance working for most people because of those? Many break badly if anything they were not programmed to handle tries to pass through.

One thing that really can bog down these infra things in the US (ya know, besides the general "got mine. screw you!" attitude of the oligarchs who rule this place) is the urban sprawl. On the same plot of land, you can have 8-16 housing units in a low-rise apartment building paying that 24.95 a month, whereas in the US that would be a single-occupancy detached home most likely.

Can you get good fiber (or internet in general) outside major urban centers in Italy?

"I bought a solar panel and AC converter to consume less from the grid. Oops, because of that now I am displacing my neighbours to use more dirty energy. How silly of me."

Seriously your argument makes no sense. How does one minor consumer of green energy displace you from doing the same?
I couldn't agree more. I've been wondering if we're moving further or closer to the ideal you describe. As more excluded groups move towards unfettered capitalism, I wonder if we'll be lift with a huge gap to fill in the "bleeding heart" jobs, e.g. being a home maker, social worker, etc.

The definition is just too loose and what we seem to wind up with in many cases is a Cargo Cult version of Agile/Scrum.

As an example, I have never had a PM/Team practice Agile/Scrum in a manner where the total amount of Work-in-Progress is something that gets paid attention to.

In my opinion this is a very serious error.
Is the revenue for that pennies on the dollar because tracking exists, or is that what it is worth?

I have no expertise in this, but I don't see why anyone would pay for banner ads for more than pennies on the dollar if tracking is an option.

Wouldn't removing tracking change the economics?
I've posed questions about incentives.

I'm also here to worship your work! The Rust book is one of my favorite documentations around, and just the other day I sent it to a colleague who was interested in learning Rust. Even though he only had experience in Typescript and Java, he made a working chess engine less than three days later.
scanf and printf have complementary format specifiers, which can make maintaining serialization and parsing of regular data a breeze...

the proper remedy is to simply wrap the string to parse with fmemopen(3), which makes the temporary FILE object explicit and persistent for the whole parse, and needs just one strlen call.

yes being a decisionmaker in charger of a large organisation must be hard because you are given responsibility for its failings, and you aren't directly in control - you are in that you can make rules and whatnot, but rules are really just guidelines and fall apart when they make contact with reality.

But we all know this is true, but we still act the same way and then get mad when the leader fails to perform magic. It's 21st century scapegoating.

Sadly we do actually have tools for fixing big problems but we seem to prefer scapegoating to actually doing anything.
In the United States, it's economically difficult verging on impossible for young people to have and raise children. Between the increasing costs of housing, childcare, and education, it shouldn't surprise anyone that more and more people are putting off starting a family until they're able to earn and save a substantial amount of money. That leads people like the author of this post to the very rational decision to delay pregnancy. If you want a society where people are practically free to start a family instead of putting everything they have into earning money, you need to fix things up from the material conditions, not down from the culture.
> NFTs for video games objects (such as guns in Counter-Strike)

You don't want or need blockchain for this. The game publisher is the centralized source of truth. You're essentially talking about decentralized DRM, which has no benefit on top of DRM for either the user or the publisher.

> Can be limited in numbers based on random drops, such that the publisher will not have infinite "printing" privilege

This does absolutely nothing to curb the publisher's power to make more items.

They own the game. They can agree to the "contract" of the blockchain and then break it at any time. As long as they can change the game bits, there is no added security from blockchain.

> Will require the wallet connected to your account in the game

Who would want this and why? If anything, it's another avenue for de-anonymizing a wallet with no added benefit for the wallet owner.

> Owning the digital file permits the owner to actually use the item.

Again, the game developer permits the owner to use them. Blockchain could be an authentication scheme, but it doesn't take that power away from the developer.

> I don't see digital ownership for video games NFTs as unfeasible, nor bullshit.

You haven't proposed a problem that blockchain can actually solve. For the problems you implied, I offered easy workarounds.

The problem with NFTs is that they don't actually prove anything outside of themselves. You can "own" a copy of some 0s and 1s in a particular order, but that doesn't change the fact that the file can be infinitely replicated by anyone once it's decrypted.

I think the economics of raising children plays a much greater role than stigma or culture.
Definitely my biggest gripe is story points + estimations. It's just completely flawed. We should be thinking more probabilistic (i.e. there's an 80% chance we'll get this done in 2 weeks). We should be doing that by running actual models on past work rather than gut feelings.

I have in the past, I have seen comments by a few others who do a decent job as well; I don't have time right now.
Actually, why must the family homemaker necessarily be a woman? If in a male/female relationship the female is the more ambitious one prioritize the male as the primary care giver. Either way raising children still takes time, energy, and focus that could otherwise pile into something else.

While there are differences in general approaches males and females take in raising children I don't think there is any research indicating females are necessarily better than males, or the contrary. The reductio ad absurdum of it is that males tend to be more challenging and females tend to be nurturing, but those distinctions are highly variable.
1000% this.

> Why do women have to emulate men to be valuable?

Growing up in a "traditional" family, the first thing that struck me when I went to work at a big investment bank was how the women did everything they could to be like men - all the way down to dress. I remember thinking, this is called equality? That what men traditionally did is clearly so much better, so women now need to become men, and we should celebrate the achievement that they are now free to do so?

I mean, yes, obviously if they want to, the fact that they can is a good thing. But the fact that they almost need to, is not.

Given inflation didn't run rampant, I don't know if there was a better strategy.

However, the continued liberal application of QE 1. Could hit a hyper inflation ceiling (hurting the poorest). 2. Weakens USD compared to other currencies (as we have seen through 2020. Hurting every entity that holds cash i.e. typically the poorest). 3. Reduces the ability for the US to apply QE in the future. Hurting our ability to tackle the next crisis, which will predominantly hurt the poorest.

All of this to say, a portion of the lost trust in the USD is being put into crypto to hedge for the medium term, and (for better or worse) to create a long term denationalized currency where no handful of politicians can choose to use QE rather than making good fiscal policy decisions quickly.
Fundamentally, it's about discipline. The problem is that people don't know how to balance.

Management needs tools to detect (1) slippage, (2) true cost, (3) emerging issues.

Engineers need to not silo, work together, make progress, and share status.

Amazon would do it at 11am, and it would last no more than 10 minutes for a small team. Every two weeks, management and engineers get in a room to holistically determine where things are at, and then they go and report status up.

What I would tell teams that I bootstrap is that the process itself doesn't matter, but the team needs a shared discipline to be effective. Their team has desired outcomes and everyone needs to be accountable for making progress.
I mention this. If Firefox were to come out and say "we're going to start spoofing this data", Google servers would start rejecting Firefox users within the week. No major browser would dare do it, not even Safari and Edge, because plenty of people are forced to use Google services for work. At best, you would have a small number of people using minor browsers and passing around patches for major browsers to spoof the data discreetly.
> Being a mother without a snazzy career is frowned upon by plenty of people these days. I don't think that stigma is healthy. Why do women have to emulate men to be valuable?

I used to think that, but then I found out that many people aren't trying to emulate men, they are trying to do a more encompassing thing, juggling an unprecedented number of roles and responsibilities surpassing what has been human in nature.

So, basically, even worse than emulating men.

My observation is that a lot of this is based on an assumption that men want to be in corporate careers. As in, pursuing a corporate/intellectual blue collar or white collar career is not an optional checkbox of pride for men that want to exchange time for food and shelter and have a female partner. I think if this was acknowledged for how it is interdependent in the state of the world it would help even out representation and many other strifes, as opposed to gendering the problems and invalidating problems based on priority.
That's a sad one too. it's hard to quantify the loss of an ecosystem.
This. This bad argument about value of cryptocurrencies being mining, lack of perspective and policy proposals in the paper are the most obvious signs of bias.
This is the most common example of the Cargo Cult version of Agile/Scrum.
this is also a big reason why several women who have chosen to stay home and look after family and kids feel unfulfilled because many of their peers are seen as more valuable by society.

The reason for this unhappiness is then portrayed as the inability of the women to not have a career. it is often, the other way around.
A young Buddhist monk went to a temple one day to renounce his worldly life and find enlightenment. He found the eldest member of the temple to be a very wise man and good friend. This elder also scrubbed the toilets and cleaned up the bathrooms every day.

Seeing this, the new monk spoke with the other monks in the monastery. "This is terrible! The elder should not have to do such a lowly chore. He is a great man and has already helped me to realize many things. I believe we should help give him time to do more relaxing in his old age. Let's take his cleaning supplies and hide them so that he won't have to clean the bathrooms every day." The other monks agreed, and they hid his supplies.

The elder said nothing about the new state of affairs, but instead began fasting. He did not eat for 2 days, then 3, then 5. Concerned, the monks asked him "Why do you not eat?"

The elder replied: "No work, no food."
I wonder if "children raised mostly by their grandparents" will start to become more common. There's been a rise in multi-generational households lately due to pandemic shifts.

Maybe younger parents who are also clawing their way up the career ladder will be able to take advantage of this situation to offload some parenting to their own parents, and then pay it forward when their own kids have children later on? Might be the only practical way to have kids in your 20s these days.

I’m totally with you here, it is a really invaluable learning tool. But similarly to science with “standing on the shoulders of giants”, we would not be anywhere if everyone started everything from scratch. Like, it’s okayish to reimplement a vector or something, but even a sort gets harder (especially if you want to make one that is performant both on a few element list and longer ones). And algorithms are just one thing, will you also learn into the totally foreign world of eg. audio processing?

Basically the only silver bullet for productivity increase is shared code. We just have to place higher emphasis on software correctness/quality instead of the functionality churn in certain parts of the software world.

I had great results using a circular progress bar instead of a linear one. If you allow the tail to "catch up" towards the head, but the head always moving forward (rotating clockwise) you can allow the progress bar to shrink without losing the illusion of forward progress. In the worst case where lots new tasks/sub-tasks are discovered on the fly, it acts directly as its own "spinner".

It's probably easier to visualize than describe, but I have longer descriptions on the thinking behind it on my blog/GitHub repo. Unfortunately, my demo site succumbed to JS CDN bit rot and I keep forgetting to update the demo to something more recent.

Interesting discussion. Though it doesn't refute my issue with rocket efficiency when combined with a rotating lever shaft. A kg of propellant will could yield 4.5MJ of reactionary thrust. And outright burning a kg of propellant releases 14.5 MJ of thermal energy.

I’m a little less zealous in my dislike of it. It’s not that the process itself is “bad”, the ideals behind it make sense. In practice (my own experience) it easily degrades into what I call “fake work”— you feel like you’re doing lots of productive measurement and estimation by drawing nice little boxes around projects, but projects rarely ever work this way. The one thing I see constantly is moving on to the next project because we checked off all the agile boxes, without giving much care to maintenance. There is always maintenance work, and it’s very easy to turn a blind eye to.

Something I consider maintenance work is refactoring of systems as new projects are planned/implemented. Everyone knows it’s a bad idea to just bolt on more and more “feature” work without thinking systemically, then we all point at “systemic” issues in retrospective meetings.

Again though, I’m not losing any sleep over this it’s just an observation from 9 years of experience as a web developer working for mostly SV tech companies large and small. It won’t be everyone’s experience, and in general the best advice I can give is try to come up with solutions using your own experience and opinions over those people implicitly/explicitly tell you to follow because they are “good”.
In my experience with old companies adopting agile, is I equate it to a company wants to evolve it's culture, but in doing so they start doing what they think the companies they want to emulate do to succeed. I'd equate it to doing a cargo cult.

Doesn't mean there isn't value to companies that have succeeded with it, or created a value culture around this coordination. But my experience was a bunch of people sitting around talking about what color paper should be used for a particular work item on the sticky board, which I struggle to see the value of.
