It's especially funny when projects and tasks have already been allocated, managers find they need something to do. So they make up long lists of "extra special" tasks and further distribute those while people are neck-deep in realizing business objectives. It mostly ends up in papershuffling, but manage to disrupt enough to feel important anyways.

Very easy to fall into the trap of "doing more" though.

As a developer I've had plenty of pointless and unpleasant customer interactions thrust upon me. It's not a good thing.

I have always appreciated product managers who effectively intermediated customers, had deep domain knowledge, managed stakeholder expectations, learned how to interpret what they said (and ignore what isnt relevant), asked the right questions, prioritize effectively and output to me a nice set of, de-noised, ordered, precise answers to the question "what do I do next?"

It's a rare skill. It boosts my productivity immensely when done right. It removes cognitive load from the developer.

Even when POs make mistakes and misinterpret requirements I still appreciate that being somebody else's problem. It quells my anxiety immensely and lets me focus on developing the thing right without having to worry about whether Im developing the right thing.

With the caveat that there are not any one hundred year old prints from modern printers...

Use pigment based inks on an acid free paper and store the prints using archival methods.

Less expensive inkjet printers tend to use dye based inks. They produce amazing prints and the prints can have a long life. But dyes often break down over time (this can be a problem with color prints produced photographically as well).

There are pigment based inkjet printers. They tend to be more expensive and a bit temperamental unless used all the time. Pushing tiny bits of pigment through inkjet nozzels is harder because there must also be a binder. Small hole, grit, and glue is not a recipe for success but the printers do it anyway.

Pigments tend not to break down over time and that's why we can still see cave paintings and other pictographs.

All that said, keep the originals.

Did I say keep the originals?

If not, keep the originals.

The only reason this question has come up is because the originals are still around.

Good luck.

Not sure about biggest but I will say NY subway is far more complex than Tokyo's and I'm a native English speaker and speak no Japanese.

Getting to the correct train in Tokyo was far easier, likely because there was less rerouting than what seems like perpetual issues in NY's subway due to aging infrastructure.

I am not taking PC build advice from a person that got their first AMD processor in 2021.

Edit: downvote all you want, there's nothing about this build that merits fluff
Clubhouse is a strange case of hype app which deliveries basically nothing. I got a invite and I have been testing it for a while, but for me the main problems with clubhouse are:

- lack of a better algorithm on club tab

- lack of interaction: it has not chat for listeners.

- too much marketing as the article well said

- boring people

- not inclusive. How does deaf people can use it?

Clubhouse could have better features and a better social interaction mechanism but it fails on that.

You can see it in stuff like young people saying "We need to conserve bandwidth, the ISPs can't handle it" (talking about 100GB/mo on mobile, which is apparently a huge number for some, but why defend the ISP).

Like a lot of these stories there’s lots of ways to spin reality.

Headline could read “Company turns up providing much needed high paying jobs to region left devastated by failed industries (steel, manufacturing, …”. Or you could say “Evil company moved in and sets up company town.”

Honestly agnostic to this whole thing but it’s interesting to watch efforts to spin things one way or another.
Your first sentence also perfectly describes Reddit.
Agile taught me about refactoring but in reality I get less opportunity to refactor bad code than I've had under Waterfall-type process. My understanding of our evolution into Agile has always been like:

1. Big Ball of Mud: work without a plan

2. Waterfall and alike: make a very elaborate plan and stick to it

3. Agile: work without a plan, but promptly refactor issues caused by lack of foresight

Waterfall worked well but is too slow to respond to change, so Agile replaces one-off planning with iterative refining. So far, great idea.

However, if the backlog is never short of business requests, and business requests are always higher priority than refactoring, then when will refactoring ever be done?

If we don't have architects anymore, but also don't designate time to refactor, we are de-facto doing Big Ball of Mud with stand-ups.

Yes. It is only A16Z and the other investors, still pumping the dying hype and spamming the notifications on Clubhouse.

Are you sure you're not confusing changes to the import system with changes to the default sys.path (especially when executing a file)?

Because unless I'm missing something, the changes to the import system make this more reliable, not less: in Python 2, implicitly relative imports means `import x` might depend on the file's location. In Python 3, it does not, it depends solely on the setup of the sys.path.
Imagine the climate change problems if we used up too much gravitational energy from the solar system.
I'm not an expert but, certainly, (1) limited memory on historical machines necessitated a small-width representation of a real number; (2) limited cpus meant simple operations needed to be applied to this small-width representation in one go.

Ie., your CPU is just a system for taking bit patterns and producing new bit patterns: (0000 0000) -> (1010 0101). So you want each individual number to be of a size the processor can operate on in one pass.

By using two integers you gain some capacity (ie., you can still overflow), but lose memory and compute performance.
I consider No and Low Tech Magazine among the best sites on the web. He's living by different values than mainstream. He loves technology and he loves sustainability. For many those loves conflict. They keep seeing attempts to make things more efficient lead to more pollution. They don't think in systems.

His values are more in line with history, particularly before the industrial revolution. He finds out and shares how people did things without burning fossil fuels that we can learn from.

The site has changed my life. One example: his articles on how power grids become insecure and expensive with higher uptimes, making using just renewables harder https://www.lowtechmagazine.com/2018/12/keeping-some-of-the-..., combined with an article on fermentation in Vietnam https://www.lowtechmagazine.com/2017/02/vietnams-low-tech-fe... led me to try unplugging my fridge. Using my windowsill for cold and fermenting, my first try two winters ago, I made it three months. My next try, last winter, I started earlier and made it 6.5 months. My food was as delicious as ever and my electric charges dropped to under $2.00 per month. More importantly, I live more resiliently. If more people lived this way, large parts of the country could go with just renewables, barely any batteries, no peaker plants, no nuclear, more health, longevity, prosperity, stability, energy security.

With that little energy use, I'm going to try taking my apartment off the electric grid for a few months this winter. That's living in Manhattan. I'll also start earlier as I developed more skills to store and ferment without a fridge, so starting in October or maybe September, I figure I can go 8 or 9 months without a fridge -- that is, living resiliently.

To clarify, my power reduction is a side point. Divided by 7.9 billion it's a rounding error. It's the value shift from dependence to independence, from relying on burning fossil fuels to learning from my neighbors, family, and ancestors. The cause of our environmental problems isn't CO2 and plastics. They result from our behaviors, which result from our culture. He comes from a culture that doesn't cause these problems, or at least orders of magnitude less.

Such solutions are practical, affordable, immediately doable and most available to those with the least resources. His philosophy focuses on improving human life, community, and Earth's ability to sustain life.
The holes in the NSO story are too big to ignore
The best version of Agile I've ever been part of didn't start great, started like what you describe. And everyone hated the day long retro and planning. So we iterated over it until we got people to come to those meetings with their homework done and tasks reasonably thought out and split instead of having to waste everyone's time for it. And in the end it worked quite well. Retro and planning down to ~1 hour.

I will fight, in any team I'm a part from now on, to avoid the interminable scrum rituals. They are soul crushing for most good engineers I know. I never ever want to do them again.
Anecdotes about what non-programmers believe aren't very applicable to Stack Overflow's survey of programmers. Still though, you end up with a weird conclusion where you believe "hype" drives the Loved statistic (one based on people's real experience) but not so much the Wanted statistic (based on what they heard) when by definition that isn't how hype works.

Think about the 2016 movie "Deadpool". Deadpool is a one joke character. There are no major Marvel characters in the movie, the stakes are low, there is no connection to the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe storyline. Reynolds has played this exact character before, in a movie which nobody liked. There was inevitable fan hype before it came out, "the merc with a mouth" sells comics and those fans are going to see the movie whatever, but fans don't know anything right? But, both critics and audiences seem to have liked this movie, a lot more than its studio expected. It made a lot of money and got pretty great reviews from most quarters. Neither of those things is hype, that's called success.

The Loved result looks exactly like what I see what I talk to people about Rust. Those who haven't heard of it of course aren't looking to write Rust, for those who've only heard of it, it's on their "things to check out" list with Go, and maybe Swift but it doesn't jump out at them. But among those who've written Rust you see a spike of enthusiasm, "Hey this is really good".

When I learned Go, I filed the acquired skills away. "This may be useful in some future scenario, but I have meanwhile ceased to be employed writing TLS bit-banging code for which I thought Go would be the best option, so, never mind now"

But when I learned Rust the first thought was "I should write more Rust". I immediately rewrote the smallest interesting C project I ever published and pushed that to GitHub. Then I wrote a bunch of code to check some of my intuitions about Rust's safety when used by people who are unreasonable (misfortunate, a collection of perverse implementations of safe Rust traits). Then I started writing a triplestore, which I'd done twice before in C -- a friend and colleague left programming and went into management after his third one, so cross fingers that doesn't happen to me.
Having them start everything with “Amazon” would put them in the “kde” league of everything stupidly starting with k for no reason other than to start with k.
Query, since you appear to be heavily involved:
I am looking to buy a used/cheap phone to replace our home wifi hotspot(a very tired Moto G4 + LineageOS, always plugged to power). No calls or texts required, just handling up to 5 device connections to the inet(music streaming, video downloads, web browsing). Having a new linux toy to tinker with would be a bonus, would love to support Pine64, but the inet reliability would need to be there as it is our only connection... extreme rural locale, no landline or line-of-site options available, Starlink is not yet an option, AFAIK, and def outside the budget.

In your opinion, would a PinePhone be a realistic candidate for our hotspot at this time?
Having started bike commute (20km round trip), I basically don't want to anything by car. With bike-day people could realize how cool it is to glide at 11 mph without traffic.

I joined CH in January, and I initially felt the same sense of excitement I felt when I first joined Twitter in early 2008 and started connecting with new, likeminded people.

But that excitement died off within about two weeks, once I realised how little really interesting discussion there was. There were some highlights, and I still dip in now and again when a compelling name pops up, but it's mostly pretty uninspiring.

I was listening to the Good Time Show last week with CH co-founder Paul Davison talking about opening up to all comers, and I heard him make the claim that Clubhouse has bigger potential than text-based social platforms, because talking has less friction than writing, therefore more people will use a talk-based app. I've heard others make this claim before, and it's always struck me as a deeply flawed thesis.

Sure, most people are comfortable spending plenty of time chatting with one person or a small group of trusted people, but far fewer people are comfortable talking in a large group of strangers.

The confidence threshold is much much lower for text and photo-based platforms, as you have time to craft your content and you can always (where supported) edit or just delete post if you have second thoughts.

But public talk-based platforms trigger all the same fear-reactions that live public speaking triggers, so far fewer people are comfortable doing it, and hence we get exactly what we see – a platform dominated by a relatively small number of outlier extraverts/confident speakers.

I keep thinking: Andreessen Horowitz aren't stupid investors, they must have thought of this and must be working with the founders to develop ways to keep growing user numbers and engagement. But I'm yet to see any signs this is the case, and more and more it feels like everyone has bought into this flawed thesis, and that we're witnessing a giant naked emperor scenario.
The EU is not a company. It's a government voted for by citizens of countries.

This feels like it was written by a late 90's sysadmin who just teleported to 2021 and has no idea how things operate today.
For all I know I've got 5G implanted, how am I to verify that? Obviously the implant will make whatever measurements I do return the wrong results.

Gotta trust something, we decided we mainly trust the OS download and the repository keys that came with it.

Anyway we seem to have been talking about different kinds of verification, like checking that what Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen wrote is really what your CPU is executing versus verifying that implementations of a trusted algorithm aren't broken. We're not in the conspiracy theory or incident response business, so unless someone comes with something that sounds like we should forward them to incident response, the former is not what we do.
Thanks for pointing that out - I've been nosing around as I consider what I want to build next, and I hadn't realized the X570s tend to need chipset fans. That's a deal-killer for me. Either it's going to be noisy as all get-out, or it's going to be some cheap part that fails prematurely, assuming it isn't both. I definitely prefer big and slow for fans.

> The think that irks me is whether they work changes based on where you've invoked Python from. `./bin/my_script.py` behaves differently from `./my_script.py`.

It does not though, unless you have altered the default sys.path to always contains `.`.

When running a file / script, Python will add that file's directory as the first lookup path, so these two invocations should have the exact same sys.path, and thus the same module resolution throughout[0].

If you have added `.` to sys.path (which is not the default), then the first invocation will also have the "grand-parent" folder on the sys.path, while the second won't.

This also doesn't seem to have anything to do with relative imports, you need to already be inside a package for relative imports to do anything.

[0] that is not the case of `-c` and `-m`, both add CWD to the path, and they differ in what they do: `-c` adds `''` to sys.path, which is the in-process CWD. `-m` stores the actual value of CWD at invocation, so changes to CWD while the program runs don't influence module resolution
Isn't that what things like Flatpak or Nix / Guix are for though?
Nah, just use WinForms. It's alwys going to work, and it's better than all the half-baked abandoned successor platforms.
> a bulky CPU heatsink and good quality fans spinning at no more than 800 RPM can give you a really silent desktop for a reasonable price

I’ve followed fanless PC cases for years, but I always arrive at the same conclusion: Modern fans, PSUs, and PC cases are so good that it’s not hard to build an effectively silent PC that uses fans for cooling.

My GPU and PSU don’t even spin up their fans at all unless I’m playing a video game, at which point I’m wearing headphones anyway. A large CPU heatsink allows for slow spinning fans that are so quiet I can’t tell if they’re spinning at all without looking at them. The case itself is lined with acoustic damping material to attenuate noise even further.

The loudest part of my recent builds hasn’t been the fans. It’s the noise made by the electromagnetic coils in the PSU. I had to swap power supplies to find an even quieter one, even though the fan wasn’t spinning.

I could see how a truly fanless PC could have used (recording studio or maybe a dusty environment where airflow isn’t an option) but for most of us it’s not hard to build an effectively silent case with good fan and component selection.
