What a sad and nihilistic view. Experienced devs are smart people. If you communicate the company targets, priorities and deadlines clearly, they will naturally find a way to self-organize to achieve those goals. Devs think it's micromanagement when they feel like they are not trusted to execute the communicated plans, but are instead required to report every hour worked to some slavemaster who might at any moment "allocate" them to a different task.
I honestly don't care if they use JavaScript (responsibly, which I think they do), but why not ape the user research the other search engines have done and use real pagination? It's not like Google and Bing and etc don't know that you can append DOM nodes.
Honestly the person running the seminars was very very strict. Several people said "I don't really care what people call me by", or can I just leave it blank to be what people want. The person explained how that attitude is disrespectful to people who do care about these things, and how it can foster an environment of hostility towards people who put them. Which in turn marginalizes those people etc.

However in January the entire sales team removed them after apparently a customer reacted negatively to the inclusion. Which lead to other external facing teams removing it to prevent the same issue. Most people have removed it from emails, and honestly many people just don't seem to care, and HR doesn't seem to be enforcing it.
Germany vilifies one Adolf Hitler, and treats him as the personification of Satan.

The U.S.A. celebrates one Christopher Columbus with his very own holiday.

Both men did rather similar things, with the one exception of course that the latter won his genocide campaigns and racial superiority wars, and the former lost them.
Interesting. Last week I finally managed to get Github and Stripe to approve the GH sponsors page for my project, and one of the "rewards" that I am offering to the higher tiers is access to a periodic "office-hours" conference call.

Now I'm wondering if I should make it available for the lower tiers as well.
The correct form is "folx". Spelling words with an "x" is more inclusive toward marginalized groups, particularly LGBTQIA+, despite there not being an "x" in there. See also womxn, Latinx, etc.

iirc this is because ROCm works via a modified Linux kernel. Why they had to do that, I have no idea.
That hasn't been the case so far, and, in my experience, my overall quality of social interactions has gone up drastically since I adopted my current approach.

Perhaps there are false positives; I am willing to take that risk for the immense benefits so far.

OSS devs rely on donations, but office hours would be a great paid service. The demand for OSS is so high, depending on the centrality of your library, you could easily charge $10-$100 an hour for this.

People always expect free Github replies and responses to PRs and issues. But it is almost taboo to expect free consultation and office hours. Great way to make some money if you have developed a popular library!
The Secret Life of Components: Chain
> Covid is a blood clotting neurological disease. It strips blood of the ability to carry oxygen, debilitates the ability for your body to even get oxygen from air, and damages many organs (probably due to the worsened oxygen delivery).

Literally everything in this quote is speculation, or factually incorrect.

Covid-19 is not a "neurological disease" -- SARS-CoV2 is a virus that infects epithelial cells. Epithelial cells are not neural cells.

Blood clotting is observed in some patients, but the mechanism is unclear. Blood clotting is a common result of inflammation -- triggered by any disease.

It does not "strip blood of the ability to carry oxygen". This is simply wrong. Inflammation associated with SARS-CoV2 infection damages the ability of the lungs to absorb oxygen.

The claim that it "damages many organs" is at least an overstatement -- the vast majority of Covid-19 patients have no such damage. Patients with severe inflammatory responses clearly do have some damage. It's not yet clear if the damage is due to the virus, or the response of the host's own immune system.

The claim that organ damage is caused by "worsened oxygen delivery" is speculation on speculation.

> What do people think the loss of smell, taste, and ability to think clearly is?

The loss of smell is believed to be due to infection of of supporting cells in the olfactory epithelium. Not the nerves.

Taste is lost because smell plays a huge role in the perception of taste.

"Loss of ability to think" is so vague as to be pointless to debate. Depression and anxiety are likely causes of the same symptom.
I'm pretty sure there are ways to filter and organize your emails already.
When done right Agile as a process is beneficial to product development. In the framework Scrum, dailys facilitate communication, and increase productivity.

Cons of any product development process is not taking into account human interaction and assuming a perfect team.

Build a team first, choose process to get the best out of this team be it Agile/whatever.
What about this one?

I can buy a children’s book written by literal Nazis that was created to teach kids why Jews are bad and how to recognize them.

I can’t buy a Dr. Seuss book about the zoo because there’s a mildly offensive picture of a Chinese person.

> Besides being a dream for micromanagers, it seems to be more about signalling progress vs. actually making progress.

If by "micromanagers" you mean, "just managers who like to understand how time is being spent", then yes that is what Scrum/KANBAN are for, among other things.

Story time...

I remember working at a startup in the UK around 2013/2014. We had guy working for us who did the UI for the portal our customers used to interact with our service. We had another developer doing the back end in Ruby on Rails.

At this point in time we didn't do Scrum so as a result we didn't do daily stand ups. We also didn't do any form of TDD, BDD or any testing at the code/module/lib level at all.

Fast forward a few months and another programmer joined the team. Really great programmer and big on testing and Scrum. He convinced the CTO to try Scrum and go with daily stand-ups, planning meetings and retrospectives. That was all he was asking. The CTO agreed.

The UI was fired a week later. Turns out he had spent two weeks allowing the side menu slide in and out from the left of the web page. He did this from scratch.

The new guy then convinced the CTO that TDD was important for at least the critical paths through our application. He wasn't asking for 100% code coverage, nor would he (because he's smarter than that.) The CTO agreed.

The back end guy upped and left two months later. Turns out he didn't like doing testing of any kind, so instead of writing useful, meaningful tests, he wrote tests that simply returned "true".

The lesson from this is: Scrum can, like systems, highlight problems inside of an organisation. By implementing Scrum were got a daily snapshot of what everyone was doing, keeping people accountable for their actions, and knocking down blockers sooner rather than later. There is no "micromanagement" here.

These simple systems, like TDD, Scrum, OKRs, and so on, are excellent when used correctly.
These 'consultants' probably get paid more than me for doing busywork of no use whatsoever.
Everyone involved in the late-70s intra-Party disputes in China not only knew how to write, but was a skilled propagandist and had learned from one of the best to ever do it.

CyberArk (Conjur team) | Backend / DevOps / Security | NEWTON, MA | ONSITE | FULL-TIME
The CyberArk Conjur team helps people write super reliable software that's hard to hack. We're building tools that make the best security practices convenient for developers, ops, and security teams. We're hiring software and infrastructure engineers to help with that effort.

ABOUT US

We're a busy team, thanks to the increasing success of our product: Conjur secures the entire software development and deployment lifecycle for companies who want to ship features as fast as possible without increasing their risk of security breaches.

Conjur engineers work on a wide variety of projects, from integrations with some of today's most popular DevOps tools to moonshot projects that seek to revolutionize the way engineering teams factor in security when deploying applications.

We know that if you're a professional engineer, experience with specific tools or languages can usually be picked up quickly. That being said, Conjur engineers use and integrate with the following tools on a more-or-less daily basis:

* Golang, Ruby, Rails, Postgres, and JS

* Docker, Git, and Jenkins

* Kubernetes, OpenShift, Cloud Foundry

* Ansible, Puppet, Chef

You're right they all do say annotated. I wasn't sure what that meant.
Looks like you're drawing conclusions from the title, which I also did!

Per the article, he's not saying you should work on the project during office hours. Instead, to get feedback from users, he's allocating some time where users can have a talk with him about the project. He's calling that 'Office Hours'.

I think that it's a really valuable suggestion.
Thank you (and the others) in this thread. Very insightful, particularly with what motivated the thinking then.
Nothing to do with it is a strong claim.

Do you believe that labor is a market that does not generally behave like other markets in terms of supply and demand for price discovery? Do you believe that immigration did not increase supply by more than it increased demand? I’m trying to tease apart and understand your certainty that there is no downward pressure on wages from immigration.
Simply that Don Jr criticizing Dr Seuss or eBay for canning books is contradictory to lib/con views on free speech when his base uses such arguments to violently rebel against the government.

Bigoted?
"[Fussel] believes America has one of the most hypertrophied class systems in the world, that its formal equality has left a niche that an informal class system expanded to fill - and expanded, and expanded, until it surpassed the more-legible systems of Europe and became its own sort of homegrown monstrosity."

So did De TocqueVille, who observed that absence of set class boundaries, Americans continually aimed to use whatever vague symbols they could find to assert their position, given this uncertainty.

Btw, Fussell's Class is a fabulous book, well worth the read.
> A browser with FLoC enabled would collect information about its user’s browsing habits, then use that information to assign its user to a “cohort” or group.

> Each user’s browser will share a cohort ID, indicating which group they belong to, with websites and advertisers.

Sorry, I'm out. My browser is my agent. I don't want it to analyse my browsing data and send the resultant classification to random machines over the internet. Why is this even a thing? Browser's job is to display websites, not spy on the user.

If advertisers want to track me, they can create their own software and entice me to install it. Oh wait, that's exactly what Google did with Chrome :(

You are talking about the rules for javascript access to cookies, or other rules for "cross-domain cookies".

The rules for "block third-party cookies" features are different than these, and are browser-specific rather than bound by a standard.

I believe that both Chrome and Firefox will not block cookies from a subdomain of the same base domain as "third-party". Although I'm not totally sure where to find this documented. I think if they did, it would break many more sites than "block third-party cookies" do now.

That's statistics for you. While the large server room will have failures pretty frequently, an individual device may easily operate for a long time.

Most of my desktops lasted for many years without any failures. Some devices, like garage openers or sprinker controllers, lasted even longer -- they operated for 20+ years.
> 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.

Why? If you made those more detailed estimates and models (which I'm sure would have a significant time cost), what would you do differently based on the results of them?

You need a rough sense of how relatively costly different tasks are, so that you can prioritise - if you ask the business/product side to prioritise completely blind, you'll end up not doing small things that could have brought a lot of value because they assume those things are hard, and you'll spend far too long doing things that they thought would be easy but are actually hard. So you want developers to do just enough estimation to allow the business to prioritise. Which means giving a low-detail estimate and giving developers assurance that it won't be used as a deadline. Story points are the most effective version I've seen.

And is "it's entirely personal choice" not a fair answer to that? Some amount of convictions are false, why place unnecessary restrictions on yourself before knowing the exact situation?
It is already difficult enough to come up with naming things that makes sense. I kind of get "master" when used in the context, however things like "owner" i struggle extremely hard with. Especially since major companies like Microsoft use it.

I remember asking what did they suggest instead of owner, and they basically gave a list of synonyms that frankly did not really work the same way, or are insanely long e.g. "Primary Account Holder".

DuckDucGo's classic link results are verbatim from Bing (or sometimes Yandex instead). DuckDuckBot is only used to grab favicons and a subset of its rich results (instant answers, zero-click info).

Don't take my word for it; you can compare DDG and Bing results for esoteric queries side-by-side. The order of the results may vary since search results aren't deterministic, but you'll find them to be otherwise identical. You can also ask staff in help channels about the details of where link results are sourced from.
I remember having 100 Mbps up/down in 1998. That's 23 years ago :D
> Will they apply the logic here to all categories of goods for sale? T-shirts? Political buttons? Historical political pamphlets? Current political pamphlets or campaign material? How about baseball team merchandise that has racist mascots? (Why haven’t they?) Merchandise of companies where the CEO may have bigoted views?

I don't disagree. One thing that I think worth considering is that the seller is clearly making an attempt at a form of profiteering. I don't pretend to know if eBay intends to continue to restrict sales of these titles for all time. I certainly find it in poor taste that the seller wanted to use the moment to make a quick buck.

I just searched 'ebay nazi memorabilia' and found an iron cross. No swastikas. Not sure the extent of their ToS cause I don't use eBay so I'm not reading them.

From the article:

> After the announcement, one woman said she listed two titles, “On Beyond Zebra!” and “McElligot’s Pool,” for sale on eBay on Wednesday. Later that day, she said, she received an email from eBay explaining that “On Beyond Zebra!” had been removed from sale because it violated eBay’s “offensive material policy.” The second title was pulled Thursday morning, she said.

Sure, some sports fans were very opposed to changing team names. Childhood memories and nostalgia are even more effective knee-jerk reactionary topics.

Had eBay said that they were temporarily banning the sale of these titles, I think they could have prevented sellers from profiting off a big news story about racism without much negative publicity. They could then quietly lift the ban after the next big thing had refocused everyone's attention and this was forgot.

That said, I'm divided. I'm anti-racist. I prefer free speech and free expression. I believe POS Klansman have a right to say ignorant garbage. But I also support "no shirt, no shoes, no service." Put another way, my business has a right not to peddle your wares.
They're auto-generated on every article, and are a guaranteed ad impression - basically no downsides. People seem to enjoy getting their info spoonfed in slow videos nowadays(not like I'm any better, kept watching till the end as well.)

If you look around modern news sites, you'll notice that everyone does it now.

1. My site is also smol, but brand new and probably doesn't warrant a mention here, but respect for smol web!

2. > Because most people only view one or two articles on my site, I include my CSS inline. With HTTP/2, this doesn’t make much difference, but Lighthouse showed around 200ms with inline CSS, 300ms with external CSS.

With respect, this seems to be the frontend consensus and it... just doesn't make sense to me. Unless you expect the majority of your traffic to never hit a cache header on that external CSS. That 100ms perf hit (which is probably a warning sign that something's wrong with your assets or server config anyway) should be a one time affair, and not repeating that payload over and over surely makes up for it in the sub-200ms responses after.
Well that's input validation for ya. It's not enough to say "give me a string", or even "give me a file path", and then only check that it has ASCII characters. You have to validate that this input could conceivably be a file on this system that someone would use.

"../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../etc/shadow" is not a file someone would ever reasonably want to access. But is there an easy way to look for nonsense paths without potentially limiting functionality, or writing more code than you wanted to? Nope.

The same footgun exists in all languages; C's design just has a hair trigger.
Most developers are introverts, everyone has their own pride, and a lot of the time the difference between a getting stuck because you're missing something and getting stuck because what you're doing is just genuinely hard is not at all obvious - especially when you're in the tunnel-vision of trying to solve the problem and in a workplace where you've deliberately eliminated distractions and interruptions (which is a very good thing on the whole, but comes with its own costs).
Correct. I have a hierarchy of priorities, and pretty much the top of the list is avoiding stops/layovers/plane changes. If Southwest has a nonstop flight and the others don't, I will fly them regardless. That's the case for several places I regularly need to go. There are almost no circumstances where I choose Southwest if the number of stops is the same, though.
I don't know, Ive spent a bit of time around children. If they don't have a actual reason to bully other kids then they will invent a reason whole cloth. You would have a hard time convincing me that scarcity has anything at all to do with that. If fortnite skins didn't exist it would be freckles, or names, or head shape, or literally something made up. You're second link even says bullying is just climbing the social ladder, I don't think scarcity of being the popular one is solvable unless everyone lives in a personal world full of only ai. Alot of kids and teenagers are honestly just dicks.
