> If that's scrum, fine, but if that's imposed by management, it's not agile, it's anti-agile. SCRUM, SCRUM masters, SCRUM cards, etc., etc. etc. are all anti-agile by very definition.

There's a lapse of logic that is happening somewhere in the middle of this passage.

You can say that self-organising teams can decide that they work quite well within the scrum framework. Good.

You can say that self-organising teams can also decide that they do not like the formalisms of the scrum framework, and prefer some other set of guiding principles to achieve their agile ideals. Good.

You can also say that the management may muscle their incompetent way in and impose scrum upon the unwilling team, and by doing so divorce scrum from the agile principles that it was intended to uphold. Fine.

But what you cannot do is to conclude from the last statement that scrum is anti-agile. Just as you wouldn't conclude — if the management were so insane as to demand that all their teams program only in ruby — that ruby is an anti-agile programming language. What happened in that last statement has nothing to do with scrum and is no fault of scrum.

> a basic motherboard is 300€

A 'basic' motherboard two weeks ago was the same as it is today, a low-end B550, and can be purchased for under 100€.

The 10900 trades blows with the 3900x, particularly for multi-threaded, workstation-type workloads where the AMD part pulls ahead with its two extra cores. And the 3900x can be had around the same price as a 10900.

So your "honest account" comes off as a little disingenuous, which may explain the downvotes.

(Yes, the high-end Zen 3 parts are pricey and have very limited availability right now, but that is afflicting the entire industry - see also consoles, graphics cards and many other things. With their own fabs, intel are uniquely placed to supply right now, but their CPUs are more competing with the last gen of AMD's if you're talking about a workstation)
Yup-- Frequently these classrooms have packets of worksheets thrown at the students. There's a little direct instruction to a crowd that has never learned to accept information that way. If you or I were put in that situation we'd seek to avoid school, too.

And imagine being the one new excited, passionate teacher trying to rock the boat and get some effort. You're upsetting parents who wonder why you're all up in their business and don't understand the value. Your gradebook creates issues for your administrators. Other teachers who have given up react defensively and seek to undermine you. And the students are not thankful, and can be extremely disruptive.

I don't know how you fix it. Project-based learning has some evidence that it can work in situations like this, because it can draw out participation and interest by gamifying more of education. But it's not like a little more PBL is going to make the system suddenly work.
Not sure why this is downvoted, the questions are constructive for the thread. To add a question: why is it bad if it's an optional component? Nobody's forcing you to disclose that you shot a certain picture, unless I'm misunderstanding the concept here.
Postfix.

But that’s only an MTA i hear you cry, Exchange does both MTA & MDA! Bear with me.

Postfix is software to learn from. It might be written in C but the architecture is the epitome of beautiful modular design. It’s not just the meticulous separation of concerns, the care and attention to detail, everything from string handling to memory management is pristinely handled. https://github.com/vdukhovni/postfix

Even at runtime the beauty of the architecture allows for a sysadmin to choose (via master.cf) exactly how the components should be composed to fit their needs. The defaults are crafted for minimum fuss if you just need to get it running ASAP. The software is ergonomic in addition to being artfully crafted.

So what does all this care and attention get you? Only 9 CVEs in 22 years, only 3 of which are code exec, only 2 of which are (maybe) remote code exec, only 1 of which is unauth user RCE - but very hard in practice to exploit.

Maybe it’s just not that popular? It was 1/3 of all SMTP servers on the internet according to a 2019 scan.

So it’s the best MTA ever to exist, but what about MDA? Well, that was the whole point. Compose well crafted components together to build a system. You especially don’t run part of your mailserver’s web interface in kernel space because, well i’m not sure why IIS/Exchange does that :-)
Yeah, it'd definitely be visible. I imagine it'd be like looking at an air bubble while underwater, in terms of refraction, except that air doesn't have surface tension so the boundary wouldn't look quite the same.

The fact that it's somewhat taboo to even suggest that this is a cultural problem, and not a school/government/"system" problem, is a big part of the reason we haven't seen any real improvement.

The presence/absence of a 2nd parent at home continues to be the overwhelming and undisputable primary factor that correlates to student success.

You're right. What I meant to say was that it's possible the programmers working on the weather app didn't add explicit rounding, they just passed the value through a formatter that did the rounding implicitly.

I think the point was the student will still fail. Truancy laws can force them to sit in a chair. But they can't make the student care about passing when their parent isn't holding them to any such standards.

They did proper integration point releases between teams at various phases, it was more an issue with 1 week sprints to close off tasks resulting in so much overhead that I felt like I was just building momentum and had to stop and gather my thoughts for the retro and planning.

Right. Software diversity (as long as it's real, all-the-way-down diversity and not just different branding of the same tech) is beneficial to overall security for more or less the same reasons that gene pool diversity is beneficial to the survival of a species. This is one instance where our choice of metaphorical vocabulary, like "virus", is very apt.

Only one vendor for all corporate email is bad for the same reason that only one popular variety of banana is bad.
Quenching is less of a concern with HTS coils. They are operated with liquid helium for higher critical current. The HTS is embedded in copper.

One argument going on right now is insulated vs uninsulated coils. Insulated are the norm, but uninsulated are virtually impossible to damage from quenching. The copper is a virtual open when the core has zero resistance. When the core quenches then suddenly the windings are all parallel and the coil turns into a single turn copper coil that immediately dumps the current.

> the challenge is that people have made long-term financial plans based on it, and if you were to suddenly cancel it altogether, lots of people would probably get in trouble.

This could be solved by just cancelling it. People taking advantage of this scheme:

a) had no reasonable expectation that it would be long-term, and,

b) had to be wealthy enough to initially access the scheme to benefit from it, and have since continued to benefit.

Handling any exceptional cases (which would be relatively very few) would be a lot more effective, in every sense, than continuing the scheme.

Besides, the Netherlands already has a Mortgage Guarantee Scheme which protects people with mortgages and changed circumstances.

"There was jubilation inside Lucasfilm Games when the staff was informed that at long last they were to be allowed to play in the universe of Star Wars. They quickly turned out a few simple action-oriented titles for consoles, but their real allegiance as a studio was to personal computers. Thus they poured the most effort by far into X-Wing, the first Star Wars game ever to be made first, foremost, and exclusively for computers, with all the extra complexity and extra scope for design ambition which that description implied in those days.

> Coursera has pretty good content but I’m not sure their certifications lead to anything meaningful.

I agree with this. My cynical take when I see someone with a Coursera certification is "so what?"... Not in a mean way. I just simply don't see the value of that certification.

But then I remember that the tech industry is not the same as other industries. There are other industries where there's still a strong cultural bias towards formalized and demonstrable education.
So those certifications could indeed signal employers in other industries about competence in certain knowledge area. I strongly believe that those certifications don't prove anything but I guess there's some people that do believe in their value.

>and each application should play nice with the system resources, so even if RAM is cheap and plentiful it doesn't automatically mean that every application should feel entitled to it.

Yes, you shouldn't be a bad neighbor, but the OS will generally move things around to accommodate you as necessary. RAM is an afterthought for most of these applications for a reason.

This attitude is like buying a sports car and never redlining it.

That big players explicit ignore part of the regulation and get away with it is a problem that not enough people are questioning. The discussion has moved away from the law makers and into the enforcement.

Which is exactly what FLoC is a step towards fixing. It may not be as perfect as not having any targeted ads at all, but it's a much better than the current status quo

As for targeted ads, I would argue that most advertising would be non-viable without it. Yes, something like Coca-Cola won't care, but your average small business owner who needs to target a specific niche will basically be unable to advertise it.

Imagine I build an app specifically for people into biking, or into animal crossing, or into some other small niche that's less than 0.1% of the population. How do you propose I grow my audience without any sort of targeting at all?

Welp I got curious whether I'd missed a step so I gave it a once over, took me 7 hours to get it working. Turns out Proton does not like to run from an NTFS partition so I reinstalled steam on ext4. Now it runs but I couldn't get Direct Show to work, only the VLC video-path. I assume the LAV installer failed somehow. I also had to mount bind my external drive in my home folder otherwise it wouldn't see it. And I also had to reset whirligig's settings manually in the prefix folder (steamapps/compatdata/451650/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Application Data/Whirligig/production) because it randomly stops accepting inputs.

So much of this.

This is pathetic. At this point Intel should open up x86 and become like ARM as this is proven to work now. I wonder how badly Intel's mishap set humanity back by releasing essentially the same processors each year...
It's not -- it's a false horizon.
Same question here. I have been a bit disappointed in the portability of my similar background to problems like energy, climate, and biochem.
It's a bit less messy if you ignore the GPU-like Xeon Phi (Knights Landing and Knights Mill) and the failed Cannonlake that Intel definitely would prefer everyone pretend never happened. But that still leaves you with a progression of four levels of expanding support, and the Cooper Lake mess of having BFLOAT16 but not the stuff added in Ice Lake and Tiger Lake.

If you don't cut down the support table to eliminate irrelevant niche products, it's most of the way to being a Gray code.

In response to this article, I can only wonder how sustainable Bitcoin will prove to be over the next few years. I think the questions people are raising about efficiency and energy use are serious concerns, if not endemic of a larger oversight in the project as a whole. I'm absolutely not a Bitcoin or crypto expert, but this article strikes me more as a direct refutation than a framework for arguing against that line of reasoning. Furthermore, this line didn't quite sit well with me:

> So the next time you open an article on Bitcoin’s energy consumption, ask yourself: Would this person pass Bitcoin 101? If the answer is no, you can safely discard his or her opinion.

Like I said, I'm no Bitcoin expert, but this is a pretty dangerous thought process. I'm starting to worry that neither side will ever see eye-to-eye, and eventually cryptocurrency will pay the price for it. The blockchain is a remarkably powerful tool, but it needs to be wielded responsibly by people who can acknowledge it's shortcomings and appreciate it's power.
