> Supervisory managers brandishing Agile + endless meetings

Personally for me - this led to burnout and I have quit last two jobs that used Agile faster than I have the 2 before that didn't use Agile. Agile is very clearly being misused to turn developers into factory line workers whose productivity can be measured by number of commits, reviews and docs they put out every two weeks. And the meetings it takes to do Sprint planning, stand-ups, reviews, demos, retros are really killing any possibility of developers having a flow of uninterrupted time to do what they need to.

And the burnout article linked in the OP makes a great point about inputs to development teams not being measured. At some places developers are left to spec out stories and others have Architects / Tech Leads do it - in either case that in itself is a large chunk of work that takes up huge amount of time that no one is rewarded for in any way!

Mostly though keeping the churn going is what gets really tiring - do most orgs have work that a) needs to be done every two weeks and b) can be done in two weeks perpetually? The pressure leads to manufacturing bite sized requirements that can be demoed in two weeks - the real impact of that work is almost always never evaluated. Combine this pressure with time crunch that prevents people from spending quality time together to ponder bigger, high impact problems and collaborate on solving those within the meeting heavy Agile process and you are never going to get anything meaningful done.

This is not to say Agile itself is bad - it takes effort and skill to use it effectively but managers seem to be taking the easy way out to create a factory line kind of setup where random requirements keep getting thrown and every two weeks you are supposed to roll out _a_ solution. The trouble is software / IT is not at all like rolling cars out on a factory line so it all falls apart.

Edit: By Agile I meant Scrum really.
Sounds like a neat name for fly.io managed pub-sub (jbor notwithstanding)...
And then you'd have storage issues instead of bandwidth!
This is obvious!

What about "That shirt looks really good on you"? Is it a compliment or the receiver may think you just want to rip it off them and have sex on the desk right there and then??
I would love to see a Web-based RPG environment with similar play and creation capabilities (and community) to NWN.
End users generally don't pay for consuming extra bandwidth, so the injury isn't obvious.

SMS spam, though, had a very clear injury when you were charged for the privilege of receiving a message.
In particular, XMPP to a TOR hidden service to entirely replace something like Session:

XMPP is better than anything else I have seen for this sort of thing in that it is federated and gives you a choice of servers. There is no single point of failure.

Here is what that looks like using Conversations on Android:

"writing blogs and teaching courses is a whole different set of skills to programming"

True.

I'm a tech blogger and teacher and I sometimes get offered development and management jobs.
Netflix already has https://openconnect.netflix.com/en/. YouTube probably has something similar.
One key point that this article makes indirectly: this is why the open Web still matters a very great deal.
I don't think Tunesia was that much affected by the Arab spring. It is a relatively modern country. Still rife with corruption though at least from what I heard from people having family there.

Colleague of mine is from there and was a policeman until he emigrated.

Don't smoke a joint in Tunesia, tourists also have to go to prison for that, 30 years isn't uncommon.
Going to details it look like they aren't making changes that are more equitable, tolerant or inclusive. Or that really those words don't mean anything what they meant anymore.
What places have fully opened? I don't know of any. My definition of fully opened is no masks, no vaccine passports and no test/quarantine required to enter the country. I don't know of any country that fits even half of these criteria at the moment.
I always thought ALIAS records were an actual record type, but it seems like they are non-standard additions by all the registrars that support it. Interesting.

> Literally nobody thinks impact & intent are equivalent

You haven't been paying attention - the (preposterous) idea that "intent doesn't matter, only impact" is a key premise of modern social justice activism and is taught to undergraduates as unquestionable fact.
Oh sure. But at that point you are using dynamic typing. My dream language is one that allows for full gradual typing, with the ability to opt functions in (opt out could also work) to strict type checking which gives you the safety and performance improvements where you want them, but allows you the flexibility of dynamic typing where you don't. PHP-style runtime type checks would be automatically generated at the boundaries between dynamically typed and statically typed functions.

But that would raise subscription prices. Should every user really pay extra for each subscription based on the data they might use on that subscription?
Phones are insecure by design, in my country log-file metadata of calls and sms is kept by operators (and it is not optional), people don't read the small font agreement from long time ago.

So my approach is to use the device with this in mind. Some form of data will be transmitted and sold by operators or third party backdoor from manufacturers.
The goal is to minimize data exhaust so I bought this

As I sad before, the problem is not only in devices and dark patterns designs towards data gathering. The problem is that we have learned to adapt to the "new tech" and are excited to try "new things" without any form of critical thinking and with automatic trust.

I was a part of this "tech fetishism" crowd, I wanted "the best" and "most advanced" not only to socially validate myself but to be "on the verge of tech".

This was in 2015. Now I have a different mindset.
I know what tech companies and governments want. I know the people who live comfortably knowing that they create a spyware and UX dead traps, and when I ask the answer is : Shrug and take the money.

So I decided to move radically forward.

Imagine that we are living in 2030. There is no privacy, cars are scanning everything with Lidar, IR and thousand cameras, listening and collecting, the street-lamps are with integrated CCTVs, you get the picture.

So what will give some form of real advantage for the individual in this panopticon?
Low data exhaust. The little you give to surveillance system, the more power you will have when making deals with businesses and government organizations.

Working with Internet now, requires VPN, Firewall, Pihole, browser extensions for privacy, decentralized services, etc. Imagine in 2030. There will be no way to use it anonymously and legally.
Nobody will stop this. This is the new WEF approved business future.
For the children, for the environment, for safety and "peace of mind".

There is one exception and you can use your power now.
The power of consumer choice.

My is to invest in my idea of tech future by one factor: Consumer control. If I have to abandon the Internet so be it. If the only connections to Data Towers are the mandatory ones, I will be satisfied. Listening to my own collection of music (CD rips and Vinyl), reading physical books, browsing my vast data collection offline.

And I find this logical and absolutely normal. There is no tin-foil hat reaction. There is data and everyone is free to analyze and create his own version of "reality".
Ah, well, but remember... intent doesn't matter...
To this particular point, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spartiate would seem to suggest (admittedly poorly cited) that there was in fact a distinction made within Spartan society between free and enslaved Spartans.

The only reference it sources is confusingly Xenophon, who you have admonished others for not reading - I confess I haven't myself, so will do some digging!
> breast implants are frequently seen as demeaning toward women

Despite the hammering, you’ve missed the point.

The problem is people who see breast implants as demeaning towards women. The problem is people who are trying to find arguments for controlling women’s bodies and finding it so natural they don’t even realize they are doing it.
All companies (regardless of size and paycheck) make competent developers go through grueling 4–7 rounds of interviews.

I've interviewed at many companies of all sizes in several countries in Europe and never faced anything closed to that. My current job I was invited by a former colleague to apply and the interview was mostly them convincing me to quit my job and work for them.
DeFi bug accidentally gives $90M to users
Congrats on the milestone. Did you aim for it, like with FI/RE, or did it just happen some day and you quit?
Using PoW crypto at all creates massive waste for no productive use. In a world struggling to avoid catastrophic climate changes, it is completely irresponsible, and should be stopped instantly.

Not to mention, crypto currencies are worse than traditional currencies in every way: much more wasteful than the whole global banking system for a tiny tiny tiny fraction of a percentage of the number of transactions, much more centralized in several ways, deflationary, impossible to control if they spiral. There is no reason to keep this charade going.
This is a very generic statement. What would you single out as concrete examples?
Ah but in a backwards twist my ISP now has a 1Tb per month data cap. You’d think this was huge, but I wanted to download all my games to a new Xbox…

"If parts of your network are generating traffic that I don't think is reasonable"

But it's your customers (the end users) generating traffic by watching content on my network (Netflix shows). If your customers can generate more traffic than you can handle, regardless of its a single entity or multiple entities, then that's a contract issue between you and your customers.

It'd be nice if there were a bit more info on the different types (I tried clicking one of interest) - even just a link to the relevant RFC (section) would be cool.

In Korea, can popular shops, restaurants and similar destinations be sued by public transport operators for overloading their trains and buses?
What Herodotus (and Xenophon, Thucydides, Plutarch, etc) is writing about happened more than 2000 years ago. I don't have any "bias" that relates to what he wrote. I just can't get worked up about how the ancient Spartans murdered their slaves, as I can't get worked up about how every other Greek city did not grant any rights to "free" women, or how the priests of the Aztecs sacrificed POWs and then sold their flesh to the market to be consumed by the ordinary citizens of Tenochtitlan, or about the cannibalism at the siege of Maara [1].

Generally I find it ridiculous to moralise about ancient peoples. The blog posts above are just one big moralising moralisation about ancient Sparta. People who share their link are probably people who really get all their knowledge of history from films like 300, people who sincerely, honest-to-G0d, hand-on-heart, thought the Spartans were noble warriors with huge gnashers and sculpted six-packs, who are utterly shocked to learn about the helots, and about the Agoge, and how the 300 Spartans of Leonidas were not alone in Thermopylae, hence why a blog rant appeals to them as some kind of font of revelatory knowledge.

And hence my advice to such people to read actual history and not continue to take their knowledge of history from shallow, unscientific sources like blog rants. Intellectual laziness is what makes people keep sharing this rubbish, not any kind of desire to know any sort of unbiased, objective truth.

Yes i reside in a less populous area (south France) where you can be happy to find a job at all, if that's what you're looking for in life. But from my understanding of bigger agglomerations: there's a high turnover rate in precarious jobs, but just because you can afford to find another precarious job elsewhere doesn't mean you get the privilege to choose where precisely. I hear in suburbs of capitals like Berlin or Paris it's not uncommon for people to travel 2-4h daily to work and back. Chances are if you switch jobs, you might have the same travel times, but to a different location.
The advantage of home-made food is that you have control over the ingredients.

Store bought mustard and mayonnaise contain such surprising ingredients like e.g. sugar or copious amounts of salt.
This seems to be the opposite of Internet behemoths zero rating their bandwidth to undercut smaller competitors: Internet behemoths being shaken down for transit technically already paid for. I suppose the ISPs didn't expect this level of utilization.

Curious why do you think he wants to change society ? His ideas are kind of outdated, people don't want flying cars, they want a virtual future. Neither is he the inventor of individualist liberal ideals.
On mobile it's very common to have data caps, so end users do pay for the bandwidth used by ads indirectly.
A lot of seniors also realize that once you build a large enough network of former bosses and colleagues you can actually just open a consultancy shop and contract for larger companies.

My point being that just because they are not founding "one-dev startups", senior devs are much more commonly transitioning to self-employed/contracting arragements where they are setting their rates.
I think you mean "of literally every country in the entire world".
It's incredible that such a small thing can sail in this conditions.
Nowadays, they will put you into artificial coma and then you die.

Not nice, but not really worse than many other modes of death - at least superficially. We do not know what happens in the sedated brains of the patients in their last days.
If anything, customers should be suing ISPs every time they don't get the expected bandwidth. It's the ISP that fails to deliver according to the contract.
I'm from Europe so not sure if that's a US thing but that's certainly not such a big topic over here. Yes, public transport can't be 100% safe, being in public never is. But rapes in public transport and blood stains on seats are so rare that I don't know a single person who avoids public transport because of it. It's always just convenience, sometimes price.
Akshually ... that could make a bit of sense. Instead of paying for bandwidth you rarely use to your ISP, you could pay for bandwidth you actually use to the content provider.

However, that would leave free content inaccessible, and probably create another wealth divide.
Right. To be more specific, this particular term conveys three things about the cousin:

- relative age (this cousin is younger than you)

- gender (this cousin is female)

- and... an archaic notion of whether this cousin is related to you via a female blood relative (either your mother's sibling, or your father's sister).
Nice ISP you have there SK Broadband, would be a shame if your users could not access one of the most popular sites on the internet.
"Did you intend to say that you dislike me because I'm gay?" is a pretty easy way to route out a troll.

Sincere apology or not, you get to know.

I've been moderating communities for 15 years, I've seen tricks from all manner of trolls and handling trolls with an even hand is still tricky; but being genuinely inquisitive is usually the easiest way to get around it. Even when tensions are high it makes people feel heard and understand their impact.
I think it becomes easier to think about this, if I frame the problem in terms of more tangible objects than bandwidth and data.

The public street network is in large parts paid for by taxes, so for everyone access to the network is already payed for.

If I now envision a single company blocking all streets with its giant truck fleet, I could completely understand a motion to introduce a new form of toll to be payed by such companies to avoid having to rise taxes.

That toll would most likely just increase the price of whatever said company is selling.

I'm not sure a label is the solution, since it'd be one of the cheapest parts of a fake cable anyway. Buying cheap electronics from non-authorized suppliers seems very hit or miss these days.

> I'm honestly surprised that any corporations are paying that there,

It benefits Netflix in the long term as it raises barriers to entry for disruptive competitors.

If, in order to reach an ISP's customers, you have to pay the ISP for the privilege, then creating new startups is harder and the incumbents can just price it in.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if this became more common elsewhere, as everyone involved benefits. Except us, the customers, of course, but we don't get a seat at this table and the people who should be fighting for us are taking bribes (sorry "campaign donations").
What we are seeing is basically hoarding across the board and pandemic-induced manufacturing disruptions. And suppliers are going along with it because they make substantially more profit in this situation. This notion that car manufacturers are responsible for halting the entire world for chips is simply a narrative to hide what’s really happening. Even if car mfgs cut production due to pandemic miscalculations, that’s at best 5-10%. That alone is not enough to shut down factories. And we are more than one full cycle out of the pandemic. We are still talking about a supply chain that was state of the art. If you think they didn’t adjust (to some 10M unit miscalculation) by now, I don’t think you should be writing articles on this topic.
I do, because hopefully we'll wear masks for a bit longer which also prevents the spread of many other diseases.
They are: the advertisers pays for the service users are consuming. The "free with advertising" business model is an efficient version of

Advertisers give money to users give money to content provider

Where money given to the users == money given to the content provider
It really is wild. ISPs have been overselling "unlimited" connections for forever, and being paid for it, but when their customers actually want to use literally the service they paid for, _legally_, it's somehow wrong?

I guess that's the thing with Netflix though, it's torrent-like traffic, but legal, so there's no excuse to stop it and they have to come up with something. "oh they're generating explosive traffic that's not good"
> However, when it comes to distributed and parallel computing theories have been proposed but no equivalence has been found

Is this really the case? It seems that game semantics ought to be able to model these concerns. The logical side of it would then be some sort of multi-modal logic.
Developers in USA earn more, thus they are automatically privileged group, despite their other protected attributes. Thus they can not be harassed.

A logic we should apply. It only seems fine to tie it all to moneny.
>I hope this US bullshit stays in US.

It has been spreading to all corners of English Speaking Countries although mostly in Tech ( for Now ) and Open Source.

There are many signs it is growing in EU as well.
I'm guessing that is a statistical artefact. They'd be running routes that are completely packed in one direction and not so full in the other due to seasonal effects or due to day/night cycles. So even if they were trying to overbook they'd still have quite empty planes much of the time.

85% capacity use of an asset is really quite high. If they managed to achieve mid-high 90s that would be startling given how good humans are at missing flights and changing plans.

To repeat myself, if the plan is to leave your capital unutilised for 15% of the time, on purpose, when there is an alternative, then the planner is a lousy capitalist and doomed to soon be a broke one.

I'm dubious of this common posture of "horrible violence in entertainment" is ok because it's a critique of XYZ.

It's like "free guy" (spoiler boring) tries to be a critique of video Game violence by positing the existence of another gaming reality where people are nice to each other. But this other reality is just a Macguffin. We come to watch the violence and mayhem and we come to watch squid game for the same reason.

It is better to own the fact that watching torture porn gives you the jollies rather than posturing that it gives you membership of some anti capalist intelligensia.
