> Don't estimate. They don't matter and nobody cares about them anyway.

This only works for some projects. For example if your MVP or go/no go prototype costs $5MM (which a hardware or life science product easily could) you really need to know if it will be 5 or 10.

I ran a company which always quoted 3X fixed price what we thought the project would really cost, even if things turned out to go wrong. Typically we made the (promised) schedule, and when not (luckily didn’t happen too often) the customer would be able to tell pretty much as soon as we could tell, and together we dealt with it.

But as for the cost: most projects were extremely profitable but sometimes we would lose hundreds of thousands on them. That’s why we charged such a premium: we absorbed the financial risk (not that we ever told the customers our internal cost estimate — none of their business!)

Hard to say which came first. Probability can be defined in terms of axioms and classical logic just read any probability book. Classical logic can also be defined in terms of probability by setting all causal relations to be 100% (See bayes theorem).

This is particularly evil in light of the fact that security updates are bound to OS versions. I tried to update my iPhone the other day to iOS 14.8 for the security patches, but it wouldn't let me. It would only let me upgrade to 15.0. So now I have a choice: I can either have the security patches, or I can have this (previously approved) app. I can't have both.

This specific app is not an issue for me (I'm not blind) but there is another app that I do rely on that has also not been upgrade to 15.0 so I'm still faced with the same dilemma. And unfortunately, this particular app (Foreflight) is iOS-only.

Alternatively, if you apply to a temporary job where you swear for the visa that it is temporary work and not a job, and it only lasts for 3 years which you keep renewing, maybe they made a mistake in doing this - spending 18 years renewing a 3 year visa 6 times. They're free to return home at any time, they abused this visa system and are now expecting to be rewarded for it.
Why Web3 Matters
One of the common refrains of the "new" definition, is to redefine "racism" as consisting entirely of systematic racism - or to treat only systematic racism as important - the caveat of this is non-systematic forms of racism essentially get a pass. This is often combined with a very fast-and-loose definition of what constitutes "systematic".

The result isn't so much "you can't be racist against whites", but rather "blacks/PoC and minorities can't be racist".
It's a holdover from the days of teleconferencing, no?

Very nice, but how does it support separate compilation? Does the compiler always compile two versions of each function or zig only support whole program compilation ( by JITing for example)?

Or is it just stackful coroutines and there is really no difference between async and sync functions?

The reason the USSR military officers failed to act in a number of these close calls is much more pragmatic: they all knew what will follow — the inevitable military defeat of USSR, and a reprimand for Union's officer staff invariably of whether they were with hawks, or doves faction in the military.

This is what they don't talk about.

I want to remind that back in cold war days, the no. 2 source of Union's defectors was the army, (the no. 1 was KGB, and the 3rd was the diplomatic service.) Basically, all the best informed, and having the most of contact with the outside world people. From their time on port calls in the West, they knew very well that if the whole free world will stand against them, they had zero chances.
I don’t think this is entirely right: there are plenty of languages with similarish mindshare that don’t have this: just building a Haskell project, for example, can be a nightmare if they hasn’t been maintained. Scala also has this issue, despite having a similar marketshare as Clojure.

So, a big YES here.

Generally I would put faster library as a plus.

Working in a big company, when choosing between 2 open sources, we will need to list down pros and cons.

Among other things, being 4x smaller is definitely one of the plus consideration. I try not to exaggerate this; it's not a major plus, but a plus nonetheless

Saying these doesn't matter is disingenuous.

To you, maybe, but not for most. If everything else is equal, you would choose chalk despite it is 4x bigger in size and slower? Most will choose the smaller and faster library.

This is exactly the kind of refusal of admitting the existence of trade-off I was speaking of. To pursue a noble goal of reducing abuse and violence to zero, other noble goals are sacrificed. This sacrifice, while very real, is not acknowledged, because the narrative claims we can satisfy all of our goals perfectly at the same time. This might even be possible, but, quite apparently, not using the currently proposed approaches. Nevertheless, the narrative rejects the idea of admitting that the current approaches are anything less then perfect, because it would mean admitting the existence of the trade off.

Humans are evolved to interact with faces. Along with language and voice tone, a lot of our emotions are conveyed through facial expressions. If your coworkers and managers see your face instead of just hearing you, you're more likely to build a connection. Sure, we can argue exactly how much more of a connection it is to actually see someone's face rather than just hear them. But if you're looking to make an impact, get promoted, etc., you're going to be more memorable and seem like you're making an effort to connect if you turn your camera on.

1) isn't a bug, it is a lack of a feature.

In order to accomplish that you need to double-NAT things because otherwise the internal service will send the reply directly to your computer instead of sending it back to the NAT gateway to reverse the NAT. The router needs to NAT the destination IP for the client and NAT the source IP for the server.

The thing is, 99.9999% of these devices never even have the port forwarding feature touched and an even smaller % of the devices where people enable port forwarding care about this.

Hardware and life science projects usually have more time to research and prepare than the hour of weekly estimation provided by silly agile orgs.

Also, how frequently do hardware and life science projects go far over budget and under scope? Do their estimates matter?

As I said, if you have $5MM, you'll get what you get for $5MM. If you want to spend a boatload of time researching, your estimate might be closer, but that research isn't free.

Great article.

The hot take at the beginning on the end of liberal democracy is a bit silly. Anyone in Melbourne can tell you that the protestors are
almost all just looking for a fight with the police while in various states of intoxication. The protests started the day after the path out of lockdown was announced. It started with a tantrum from the construction industry about being shutdown (they’ve been allowed to work all this time), but was then taken over by young men wanting to smash stuff and have a dust up with riot police. It is about as far from BLM as you can imagine.

Industrial production is a Chinese farmer screwing bolts on an assembly line for $3 an hour after the harvest is done.

An assembly line is the same thing over and over, software is different for each spec.

A few clarifications for those who care: the name is pronounced Parandzem (not P'aranjem) -- both in old and modern Armenian. This queen is very well known in modern Armenia and lots of women still carry her name. It is falling out of favor with the new generations due to being tough to pronounce and "internationalize", but she is certainly a celebrated person in Armenian history.

The first paragraph of the article refers to the highly controversial "Erato" all-women detachment, which was a blatant PR stunt on the part of the current PM's wife (who also runs massive "charities" that local oligarchs have to volunteer funds to in order to stay in favor with the regime, among other fun activities). It's a bit "apples and oranges" to compare a vacuous PR move by the prime-minister's family with actual warrior-queens of the past.

I disagree with you, it put the young adult (it’s 21 and not a 18 I think) in a complicated situation. However H1–B was never voted to be a path towards permanent residency but as a three-years work visa, the parents should take this into account from the beginning

At the time of women was allowed to vote in Sweden, only 10% of men was allowed to vote.

One of the forgotten events caused by the early 1900 was the separation of military service with voting rights. Until then a fulfilled military service to ones country was a common condition for voting. Many restrictions on voting was removed during those early decades, including many that prevented many women from voting after the women's suffrage. Conditions like having paid taxes for a set amount of previous years, not having social support, and so on.
I think that last paragraph has a clue as to the problem and solution. Those questions all are assuming someone other than the devs are responsible for deciding things.
