I personally find the cycle of planning => sprint => retrospective to be great for teamwork, but scrum in itself is not really something I would care about. Pick the concepts you like and forget about the rest, there is no need for the full package. For example doing some estimation work during planning to be sure that tasks are clear and simple enough (in the sense of “low complexities”) for everybody in the team is great. But you don’t need to actually assign a “complexity value” or whatever as they create confusion and false expectations.

What works for my teams in the past was to just pick a process then regularly ask ourselves if it’s slowing us down or is missing something, and change it slightly when necessary. You may need a few weeks to get used to a working routine that works for everyone, and it’s likely that will evolve over time depending on the people and projects. Better to keep processes to a minimum and make it easy to change it in cases something doesn’t work.
I believe TensorFlow is a top-tier deep learning framework, and it had ROCm support since 2018.

Do you mean "aren't"? The performance per $ and Watt is not awesome even when it was released, I was hoping for great toolchain support but that also didn't happen.
Sorry for the late response, but, yes, their car business is being subsidized. They lose money on each car. It is not being subsidized by solar, however.

Multiple states in the US require companies sell a certain amount of zero-emission vehicles or buy regulatory credits from companies that do sell that amount. Tesla is one of these companies they buy credits from. They were paid 1.6 billion USD in 2020 for these credits. That is more than double their 2020 net income. [1]

Not sure why I got downvoted. So I'll assume its someone who can't reply. For reasons.

For the record, I have an ongoing argument with booking companies seemingly every time I book something. They always misspell my name. Even if I spell it out letter-by-letter. Even if I get them to read it out.

I had an ongoing argument with an electricity company and basically got to the point after a few days where I said, "I refuse to pay any bill until my name is spelt correctly." I got a Director of Sales to confirm they'd send me accurate bills. Or else.

So yeah, these filters are trash.
It's not the same group of people, not entirely at least.
I’ve come across it in various largely-Americentric writing and figured out the concept, but yeah, it’s not something I’ve seen practised in Australia.

It means “I will always be available in my office during such-and-such hours every week, for anyone to come and talk to.” I think it’s normally a walk-in affair rather than involving making appointments. First come, first serve, but now you don’t have to go through the bother of making appointments and such and comparing your timetables. Makes life easier for both parties. This article is talking of making appointments, but most of the benefits still remain of having a known block of availability.
Cool idea. However, I feel like this needs to have some independent audit or open source it.

It depends on what you compare it to. It's supposed to be fewer meetings than the alternative.

Standups aren't supposed to be about managing, there is no manager present. Ours takes 5 to 10 minutes before lunch.

However Scrum has become so formalised, so focused on certifications and titles and the exact way to do it, that it's become the opposite of what Agile was trying to achieve.

Culture and societies change. No one can predict the future. If the population of South Korea goes down to 49 million (from 50 million today), why does that automatically mean that they will lose their culture?

"refactoring" means changing the (often implicit) structure of code without changing its external behaviour.

In this case "reorganized" or "repartitioned" could probably be more apt.

If we'd talked about software here (and not disk layout), I'd have considered less leniently the use of "refactoring", and a hint of unclear intentions.

Sorry for being so nitpicky, but this is a sore thumb from too many "refactorings" that are, indeed, somenthing else.
The ‘correct form’ for the stand up is tricky, and probably varies on team size. For a small team (e.g. 4 devs) you probably care a lot about what the others are doing as you’ll likely be interacting with it closely (reviewing it, building on it), sometimes larger teams (e.g. 7 devs) then it might never come your way.

I’ve found that people who stick to the classic “what I did yesterday, what I’m doing today, what blockers are there” set tend to provide really short ‘bland’ updates e.g. “I was working on task foo, I’ll be doing more on foo today and possibly starting work on bar, I don’t have any blockers”. If you’re not paying attention you can miss the fact that the same update has been reported for 3 days in a row and actually there is some unexpected complexity and/or a simpler solution has been missed.

For me, the best stand ups give a little more information and can be a trigger for a follow up chat after the standup. “Yesterday I was working on task foo, today I’ll be doing a bit more because I found doing XXX is a little trickier than expected - but I’m still hoping to get onto bar, no blockers - unless my idea for XXX doesn’t work”

I’ve also found this sort of issue made worse on projects where the Project Management have decided that we shall be “Agile” and do scrum. You then end up with a non-technical PM acting as the scrum master and mandated “best practice”. This always stifles any technical discussion as it is ‘noise’ to them, despite being ‘signal’ for technical folk....

You’re assuming all energy will have a productive use though and nothing is wasted. If 2 people decide to carpool they can save money on gas, and that’s not a zero sum transaction even if one party pays the other. Just because energy is expended doesn’t mean there was a productive use, after all the universe will burn up one day no matter how well or poorly humans treat it, entropy can only increase.

Well, I don't mean they are the same, they're just different kinds of looping constructs.

Like what you call a loop isn't a loop, its actually a for-loop, or its a while-loop, or a for-each loop, or its an iterator loop, and similarly recursion is just a recursive loop.

At least that's the common taxonomy I know off. So all these are loops, and the ones that involve mutation for the condition to kick in are further grouped as imperative loops.
Can confirm, I made an 8x rx580 rig for an r&d project specifically for that reason.

Nuclear power becoming common is a choice though, it's not that we don't know how. Isn't in that sense it's already available if needed, so we've already reached the tipping point where this line of reasoning is no longer relevant?
> ...always told their citizens that misinformation and disinformation was evil.

While I get your point, intentional misinformation and disinformation is evil.

OTOH for the most part, when my neighbors spread disinformation, they are not doing it intentionally, so my neighbors aren't evil. It's often by glossing over subtleties like this that those in power divide those they would rule; there are some communists who would like to overthrow the government; all communists are socialists; therefore anyone who ever professes a socialist view wants to overthrow the government.

> an authoritarian regime always started with moralizing everything, always started with telling its citizens to hate their neighbors

Authoritarian regimes start with telling citizens to hate their neighbors; moralizing is just one of the more convenient ways to to accomplish this. The anti-Jewish rhetoric in Nazi Germany definitely had a moralizing component (particularly ascribing the vice of greed), but it also spared no opportunity to portray them as inferior while simultaneously playing on envy.

Actually HUAC and Nazi anti-Jewish propaganda point to another important commonality: those to be attacked were "Un-American" or "Un-German." I'm more concerned with the degree to which both the right and left attempt to de-legitimize the other side than I am about ebay choosing which books they stock.
In these situations, malicious and over the top affirmation is the safest and most effective form of critique. See Laibach and NSK on how it’s done. Woke hyperliberalism With all it’s terrible contradiction should be an easier target than The authoritarian Socialism of the 80s.
Swapfiles are quite common when you use FDE (say, LUKS) and you don't want your swap to be in plaintext on disk.

They are faster to render especially when resizing the window, and they work in the exact same mental model of layout as everything else in CSS: the box grows to fit its content.

Flexbox and grid do not subscribe to this: flexbox shrinks/grows its content to fit itself. Grid is a configurable beast, something in between, and also makes it possible for grid content (not the container) to define how it itself is laid out.
I'm sure the groups you're calling the "woke left" have intramural disputes about what's right to say. But I'm also quite confident that they have no general interest in making people comfortable. Indeed, most argue that people who don't think like them should be uncomfortable, because that discomfort will help enact social changes they'd like to see.
Killing child processes could certainly have painful historical connotations for anyone who's miscarried, had a forced abortion, or is distressed by the historical existence of those events.

Show HN: Packaging a Deno App with Docker
For the Pink Floyd fans, my favorite story about songwriting credits concerns the album “Animals”. There are 5 tracks, the three longer compositions in the middle and a very short song split into two “bookends” (so it counts as two songs). Roger Waters is credited as a songwriter on all 5 songs, with David Gilmour contributing to one.

Now the way the accounting worked, every songwriting credit counted as one “share” of the royalties. Without this short song, Waters would have gotten 3/4 of the songwriting royalties. By including it and splitting it in half, he got 5/6. Was it a purely artistic choice? We will never know, but as the story goes the resentment between the two eventually snowballed and the band broke up.
Thousands of british AstraSeneca/Oxford trials received half the dosis, and what happened? 99% effectiveness. Much better than with the full dosis. But in the sample was noone over 65.
That was the whole problem with the late AstraSeneca approval process. Some Italian manufacturer used a different diluter which lead to the famous mistake.

let me rephrase, as I indeed have read the paper, before posting.

1. the lt2 definition in the paper is wrong.
A lexicographical compare is linear in the size. the derived cmp2 is correct and has a run time twice that of cmp3. which matches the stl definitions of lexicographical_compare, see below.

2. the c++ behaviour in 2.4.2 is puzzling and most likely bug, worth reporting to and discussing with STL implementors.

There is one person with enough credibility to tell the Left to be liberal again: Barack Obama.

If he were still president, he would have never let it get this far, but he restrains himself because he doesn't want to undermine the Presidency or dilute his legacy. But he needs to lay some ground rules: liberalism is the vision of the Left, and book burning, race obsession, antipatriotism, and cancel culture won't get there.

Nobody on the right has any credibility on the left, so they can shout all they want and it won't make a difference. Biden doesn't have much credibility either. It needs to be the strongest person on the Left to define its destiny, so it must be Obama.
Sony’s latest patent application: Banana playstation controller
It's a complex equation when you involve the discovery of new resources and increases in technology. Let me illustrate to you what's going on with pet fish example:

So I have 5 fish. I put a fish flake in the tank. The game the fish play with the flakes is zero sum. Only one fish can get the flake. Next time, I put two flakes in the fish tank. The economy has increased by 2x! But only two fish get a flake so the game is still zero sum.

What if I put 30 flakes into the tank? The biggest fish beats up all the other fish and eats all 30 flakes. The game is still zero sum.

Increasing the size of the economy does not change the nature of the zero sum game.
Agile/scrum is not about software development. It's about business agility, managing uncertainty, and being able to adopt what you're doing to new information and new market situations.

You can't design, review and test new product designs in a word document. You need to be able to iterate, learn, adopt. PDCA: Plan, Do, Check, Act.

Scrum is just a framework that implements this. Main benefit for the business is that you don't have long periods where you can't change where you're going. And if you change your mind, you don't want to have to throw away a lot of useless investment. So you only plan short sprints, you deliver quickly, generate ROI, and improve your plan where you're heading.

Just a way to manage uncertainty.
In the case of health staff, that might actually be a good idea.

From what I've read, all of the vaccines approved for emergency use so far in the US and EU stop 100% or close to it of severe cases and hospitalizations. Vaccinated people who get COVID get a case that is no worse than a mild to moderate seasonal flu.

The high efficacy vaccines reduces your chances of getting COVID at all quite a bit more than the ones with lesser efficacy.

For someone like me, who works at home and only goes out every so often for groceries, if I get COVID there is a very good chance I'll notice symptoms before I would next go out, and so can quarantine myself and not spread it.

My main concern, then, is ensuring that if I do catch it I get at most a mild case. Any of the vaccines will do that for me, so for me it makes the most sense to take the first one offered to me.

For health staff, they won't be working at home. If they get COVID they might have plenty of chances to spread it in the couple of days or so it takes to start showing symptoms. And the people they will be spreading it to, besides other health workers, will include people who are already weakened from whatever they have come to the doctor or hospital to have treated.

So for health staff we need more than just turning their cases mild. We want to stop them from getting it in the first place. Hence, they should be getting the high efficacy vaccines.
Hey hackers. For the past three years, I've been working on LearnObit: a tool that helps users learn information as quickly as possible using various learning theories and tricks.
When I first started programming, I used Anki and the old tried-and-tested spaced repetition algorithm. It was great for word-pairing (e.g., learning foreign languages), but didn't work for more complex, general topics like Mathematics or Physics.

This drawback has led to spaced repetition being overlooked, despite its proven effectiveness in learning and retention.

I wanted to unlock this effectiveness for a wider audience — that's why I made LearnObit, a notetaking tool that lets you structure complicated information and learn it as easily as possible using spaced repetition and other learning features.

It's been a year since I released it to the public. For a while, people told me they loved the concept but found the interface lacking — yet finally, I think the tool is developed enough to be useful.

If you take learning seriously, you need to check it out. Who knows, maybe it could change your life.

In the meantime, I'll be here if you have any questions. Thanks for your time and support.

An accident happens in a traffic jam. A person gets injured. If it was a Tesla, the driver gets sued. If it was a Honda Legend, Honda gets sued.

This changes the legal situation for car manufacturers dramatically and has technical implications. If the power in your car for the controlling device fails, normal cars have the driver as fallback to break. Honda needs to have some technical redundancy somehow.
I'm not really sure how to respond to that.

1. I'm not comfortable with the analogy.

2. Going back to my example, the whole "if we let them do X, where does it stop?" was a big part of 90s discourse regarding LGB rights. So far, the slope hasn't slipped into any of the scenarios people brought up. Language changed a bit. Some people felt more included by society. I suffered no injury beyond letting go of the notion I was entitled to use certain words to mean certain things.

I found other ways to convey those things. It turned out fine.
As dis-heartening as this story is, compared to a couple of years ago, it is encouraging to see lots of comments from people beginning to wake up to what is going on with this craziness and not being modded here.

Free speech is about protecting the right of the un-popular and views that some may find utterly repugnant. Why? because, as we are seeing with all of the woke craziness, when you don't stand up for everyones ability (including views you do not like) to freely speak, the censorship will end up being turned against you.

The key things with all of this, is that if enough people were to collectively have the courage to push back against this craziness it would stop...people recognizing that there is a problem is a good first step.

My wife and I got sick in early March 2020 and she coughed until July. We were never able to get a positive test, as they weren’t available unless you went to the hospital. I also had a negative antibody test. She started coughing again last month. It’s possible it’s not COVID but it seems very strange she’d develop this chronic cough right after a global respiratory disease pandemic sweeps the world.
