> Agile is more suited toward software maintenance IMO, not building new software.

One other learning that I've taken from big-A Agile is that it is only suited for teams where everybody is a "generalist" within the team. By "generalist" I mean that any developer on the team can work on any issue within that team's purview.

If your team is responsible for any component where only a subset of the team has the specialization to work on it, team-wide sprint planning actually hinders progress.
Almost infeasible because of much longer compile times and higher memory requirements for doing so.

If you have access to systems capable of doing that, usually the need for using such old systems doesn't exist. Except if you'd like to have some X-terminals, or hand them down (refurbished) to relatives, some community projects, or similar.

I'd go for something like Antix because that way you have access to the almost infinite binary package repositories.
Nonsense. There's no such thing as a "gravitational pull" that's all "frosting." If that were to be the case, you would see startups investing in Superbowl ads or sponsoring the Olympics. If it worked, there's enough VC money around to make it happen.

MAU metrics highly depend on retention, and the retention highly depends on PMF. If Twitter didn't have PMF, it wouldn't have retained such a huge global userbase.
No one will, that's the point. Imagine you would have to pay Netflix with Netflix token and on eBay you would have to pay with eBay token.

Note that the study was done entirely on BYU undergrads. I would be interested in seeing how the results compare to the rest of the population.
I believe it takes longer in the US, when all is said and done.

It’s hard to casually verify this because each country uses different terms and has a different track but I think, when you include the various phases of training, starting from the bachelors degree, the US one is more total years.

Edit:

So for example the UK and France don’t appear to require any sort of bachelor’s degree as a prerequisite for medical. Which saves you 4 years on average. So their tracks may be longer but you can start sooner.

Did you read the paper or at the very least examine all of the photo sequences in the full text article? The examination of the spheres in the rover treads and their reappearance is significant, as is the positional analysis of various spheres as they grow in size over a 3 day period. It isn't just morphology, there are some dynamics at work that point to a fungal-like growth as the simplest explanation.

SVE was designed mindful of how CPUs currently operate, whereas RISC-V vector extensions were designed with fondness for how CPUs operated decades ago.

Well that's somewhat of an exaggeration, but XT-910 speculatively executes vector instructions based on a prediction of how vsetvl(i) modifies register configurations in order to achieve good performance, so changing this register configuration causes speculation failures as though it were a mispredicted branch. Which you need to do if you're doing any mixed precision operations, or mixed integer/floating point, and discourages small SIMD functions. Quote from their white paper: "this is not friendly to deeply pipelined processor architecture."

Fundamentally, I dislike how completely the meaning of RISC-V vector instructions depends on what instructions were executed an arbitrarily long time beforehand. Also he's really complaining about register indexing in load/stores?
Every desktop browser comes with a development environment far more capable than any 8-bitter BASIC. You can paste your code in an email or an IM and send it to whomever you like.

This is an old story, and it's pretty clear that SSD EOL is the actual problem.

Correct.

> Start with coil.com what they do it not possible with the financial system. They enable users to stream money to content creator in real time with fractions of cents per second. A central system would not make any sense. It must be p2p and there must be a ledger to "settle the transactions"

Any wallet could offer the same thing. PayPal could offer it. But they don't because nobody wants micropayments. Nobody's ever actually wanted micropayments, it's something they think they do, but in reality, they do not. This comes up from time to time. One of the crypto folks actually wrote a really good paper on it, I'll dig it up.

You just build up the balance until it's over $1 and ACH/RTP it. Those transaction methods cost $0.0033 in bulk.

Further, this is just revisiting whether people are willing to pay for content online. They are not. They would rather be subjected to ads and not pay anything.

Yes, it's competition for limited throughput. Especially with the DeFi boom, fees have been bid higher and higher to be sure transactions are included in an immediate block.

Sequencers are the size of a USB stick now, so they could obtain a sample and attempt to read the genetic code. If it is a branch related to an Earth species it will show up easily in a BLAST search. If it won't sequence because it isn't using DNA then that is even more conclusive.
I have been hoping for a while that rust would make some progress toward better supporting setjmp/longjump from C:

https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/2625

It's asking a lot, but it's one of very few weak points in Rust/C interoperability, and it would be great if it were addressed.

Of course, this would obviously be marked as unsafe code, and could only be used in very limited ways. But it would still be very useful for my project here:

https://github.com/jeff-davis/postgres-extension.rs

Which has code that handles setjmp/longjmp, and as far as I can tell it produces correct assembly, but it's currently undefined behavior as far as rust is concerned.

There's some related work here:

https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/2945-c-unwind-abi.html

But it also seems to have slowed down.
Good points.

> But dark patterns undermine that kind of personal choice. Think of Facebook hiding the "delete my account" page so that you literally cannot navigate to it through the UI -- you need to have a link to that page. Doesn't that erode my autonomy to decide when I want to delete my account?

>Similarly, software like Windows 10, my LinkedIn profile, Firefox settings, macOS/iOS options, and plenty of others that decide to conveniently forget my explicitly chosen opt-out settings when an update comes in. Hiding behind the veil of "it's hard to test every possible option during an update!" to justify pushing folks back to the happy path where those companies get to collect more data.

One response may be: you are not required to use any of the above services, so the choice is perhaps better described as between using (or leaving/disabling) a service with attendant friction, or not at all. If you don't like the service, don't use it.

I completely understand not being happy with a service. There are more than a few that I don't like, so I don't use them.

Now, if a company is going to such extreme measures that the activity can well be described as fraud, that's a different matter. That should be stopped and I think most would agree.

> If I give you a multiple choice test, and you have the option to submit an "other" option on any question, but you have to mail in your text for the "other" option, jump through hoops, and I might forget to actually count your option... do you really have the choice?

I think this may be a false comparison. I'm not required to take your test, so if I don't want to, I'll just throw it out. If I think the potential benefits outweigh the friction imposed by mailing it, then I may do it.

Exactly - a good use of a decentralized ledger doesn't leave so much room for speculative profit motives.

However, my own investment thesis is that the "crypto" market is ultimately destined to march towards that useful and unprofitable outcome, kicking and screaming the whole way, by dint of the long-term market survivors being the civically oriented perennials. But this is a long journey, maybe another decade or two in the making(a epochal shift in tech). It will continue to have ups and downs.

When we're talking about potential alien lifeforms, assumptions like "fungus eat plants" need to be loosely held. This may not be fungi as we know it at all, but rather an alien analogue that fills a similar role despite having completely different origins. On earth, we know that evolutionary forces can "recreate" similar organisms independently. The same could be true between earth and alien worlds. Ichthyosaurs and Dolphins have a lot in common but aren't related [by earth standards]. Maybe there are comparable similarities between life on different worlds.

What's strange is that podcasts and baked into video ads are far more effective on me. I'll block any alternative ad source I can, so if it's not baked into the content I don't see it.

You say this like you'd expect manual transmissions to increase the accident rates? If anything I'd suspect the opposite - much harder to be distracted on your phone, eating food, etc when you need both hands to be able to drive. It also keeps your mind more engaged if you're shifting gears all the time (obviously doesn't apply to highway driving where you can sit in the same gear for miles on end but at least my intuition tells me the highway isn't where most accidents occur).

Yes, given that the evidence in support of it being cleaner is not only slim, but has been shown to suffer from extreme methodological errors, the resulting situation is that of cultural or religious genital mutilation.

And I should add that even if it were shown to be 'cleaner' (as far as the reduction of the chance to contract STD's), I would not find that compelling enough to cut off the most nerve dense part of the penis before the person is able to consent.

I hate the framing of 'privilege', because it portrays these things as some special. unfair advantage, rather than other groups having a unfair disadvantage. You could say that poor people are 'housing privileged' as homeless people have it even worse, but I think it's absolutely clear what an awful thing that would be to say.

Being rich, famous or well-connected, that is 'real' privilege and should rightfully be called out. Not having to fear encounters with the police, not being discriminated in regards to employment or not being harassed on the streets are fundamental rights. Even if you don't care about being sensitive, telling people that they are privileged for having these is just so obviously counterproductive.
