We worked around them by basically not using epics (using them to represent an endless line of work like Frontend, or Machine learning, the like), but instead introducing a new type of issue, Sprint goal, which is created by the team leads committee and linked to actual tasks as related issues by individual developers. So we have both ‘big picture’ for current work and not interfere with developers.

The sprint goals serve to record current priorities agreed between teams and CTO, are 2 week-scoped (hopefully), and reviewed at the end of the sprint. Seems to work well for our ~50-developer department.

edit: To add, overall Jira+Confluence is more pleasant to work with than Redmine and Basecamp, though it does require a big team with a couple part-time Jira experts to make it work.
I seriously doubt that's true. I'm sure I'm not convincing any of the people debating me in their own comments, but there are always other people reading the debate, who don't have as strong of preconceptions as the people commenting, and I suspect at least a few such people have thought to themselves "hmmm, yeah, he's right, those don't seem like monopolies". (I'm sure there are people being convinced of the opposite too.) It's a mistake to think the audience for a public discussion is limited to the people commenting.

Edit to add: And to the "everyone knows what is meant". No, that's not true, lots of people have become confused by the usage of the word "monopoly" to describe the issues with big tech companies, through its pervasive usage in congressional hearings and media. Using confusing inaccurate language is not harmless, it confuses the debate.

I don't mean a literal circular dependency. I mean the documentation doesn't clearly articulate how to get to having all 3x in a production ready configuration without bouncing around and piecing it together yourself.

For example, you mention starting with consul. But here's a doc on using Vault to bootstrap the Consul CA and server certificates: https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/consul/vault-pki-consu...

So I need vault first. Which, oops, the recommended storage until recently for that was Consul. So you need to decide how you're going to bootstrap.

Vault's integrated Raft storage makes this a lot nicer, because you can start there and bootstrap Consul and Nomad after, and rely on Vault for production secret management, if you desire.
Incorrect, no such right is necessarily guaranteed by societies. For example, during much of the 1900s you were required to sell gold to the US government for USD rather than keep it under your mattress, and if you refused they had the right to seize it with force. For another example, negative savings interest rates in certain European countries.
OK, thanks.

> "I can see that splitting Amazon in two parts "Amazon Data User" and "Amazon Data Provider" and forcing the former to pay the latter may disincentivize "Amazon Data User" to use your data too much, but it incentivizes "Amazon Data Provider" to sell it so I'm not quite sure where it leads. I also can't see "Amazon Data Provider" as working as an autonomous entity, so I'm not sure splitting quite makes sense."

Right now you have credit reporting companies (which are hardly a model of right-thinking behavior, btw), but don't they show that it's at least financially possible to split the data away from the data users (banks, lenders)?

So I don't think the money objection holds up. A bank right now might like to run ML on every credit card holder in the U.S., but that would either be impossible (Equifax just won't give it to them), or ruinously expensive. So Amazon Data User just won't be able to do all the analysis they do now, or at least they'll be more parsimonious about it.

Now, for the "taint" argument: rules like in legal discovery would have to apply. Amazon Data User has to swear that they don't have the data anymore, and we would rely on whistleblowers, subpoenas, and criminal penalties to enforce it. The fact that Jeff Bezos would go to jail ought to be enough incentive for Jeff to make sure it's gone.

Iron mining has been done at small scale for thousands of years.

A population of 10 million is the population of England circa 1812. Machine tools, glass optics. Electricity should be possible. Powered flight, if you had hydrocarbons.

Oil would be a problem. All the easy deposits are tapped. A successor civilization would have a hard time progressing past steam power.

A lot depends on how we crash to 10 million. If all the wells are shut down cleanly, thoroughly documented, then the people blink out existence, then the 10 million could live quite a white just on today's reserves. If we end up at 10 million after decades or centuries of warfare, then there won't be any oil left. (Plus the sea would be a lot higher, and many oil deposits would be in places where summer temperatures would be fatal for humans) Liquid fuels can be made from steam cracking of coal hydrocarbons, but they're expensive.

No nuclear power, no turbines, none of the exotic metals that require electron-beam vacuum furnaces. No pharmaceuticals, no long supply lines, limited manufacturing specialization or economies of scale. Fasteners would be expensive again. Fabric would be expensive. Probably the number one most important thing to get working again is production of artificial fertilizers. Without that you're stuck with organic agriculture and 1 out of 2 people working in the fields.

And somehow I get ten sentences into this comment before remembering about a book I read that made the exact same point about fertilizer: https://www.amazon.com/Knowledge-Rebuild-Civilization-Afterm...
There are no silver bullets if you are already near the top of your game. However, in my experience, most engineers and programmers are far from working optimally.

Here's the silver bullet that seems to work very well.

> Master your current stack.

Time and time again I see programmers who know computer science but really don't know their language. They run to stack overflow for everything from sorting to reading files. They make obvious syntax errors. They pause constantly not to think about problems, but to remember how to implement something simple.

Most programmers can 10x themselves just by learning their language and stack really well.
Yet now the common sense reasoning is ignored.
You didn't know for sure that page 346 would have private data, and that you'd be able to turn the page; but there was a reasonable probability that you would in fact see private data. If someone died instead of having their privacy violated, it would certainly be classified as manslaughter (i.e., you were doing something you knew might be "dangerous") rather than just a plain accident where there was no fault.

I don't know what the actual law is, but given the benefits to society of "good people" reporting this kind of issue, I think that toying around with something like that should be considered not a crime at all, rather than being considered a lower-severity crime.
>Income taxes are way lower in Alberta than Ontario; moving my remote-ok tech job to calgary was equivalent to getting a five-figure raise.

How did you get to the lower income tax amount, given that it would appear from the official Canada Revenue Agency website figures[0] that provincial income tax seems generally higher in Alberta than in Ontario - especially the first 45k where the Ontario rate (5.05%) is just over half of the Alberta rate (10%). But even in the highest marginal tax bracket, Ontario seems to top out at 12.15% while Alberta tops out at 14%.

So your statement about income tax savings seems difficult to reconcile with the income tax charts without some other explanation.

Zie grew up in CS, but was queer, and CS (at least back then) was very anti-LGBT. Principia, the CS university, would expel openly gay students and fire openly gay professors, and zir parents were homophobic too. The mom would listen to testimonials of people's "healings" of their same-sex attraction.

That made zir not fit in, and accelerated zir dropping out of CS and discovering the LGBT community, and non-binary identity.

Oh, top level await... I missed that.

Not sure it will get there, but it would be nice. I think putting a top level "await" is explicit enough for stating you want an event loop anyway.

Now, with TaskGroup in 3.11, things are going to get pretty nice, espacially if this top level await plays out, provided they include async for and async with in the mix.

Now, if they could just make so that coroutines are automatically schedules to the nearest task group, we would almost have something usable.

This seems important. . .

However, early prototype IVAS systems were simply not rugged enough for operational use, with one iteration notably unable to work in the rain. The Army has conducted more rigorous testing of the latest version, with what it had indicated were positive results. Soldiers have also experimented with using IVAS headsets within vehicles and during airmobile operations.

Questions have also been raised about the conformal batteries that soldiers need to carry in their gear to power the IVAS headsets, both in regard to how long they can keep the systems running and safety concerns about what might happen if they get shot or otherwise damaged in combat. The Army has said in the past that it has made progress on improving the capabilities of the batteries and their resistance to incoming fire.

> which is released (using the same decref code as other threads) when the local reference count goes to zero?

(I may misunderstand your remark, as ‘releasing’ is a bit ambiguous. It could mean decreasing reference count and freeing the memory if the count goes to zero or just plain freeing the memory)

The local ref count can go to zero while other threads still have references to the object (e.g. when the allocating thread sends an object as a message to another thread and, knowing the message arrived, releases it), so freeing the memory when it does would be a serious bug.

Also, the shared ref count can go negative. From the paper:

> As an example, consider two threads T1 and T2. Thread T1 creates an object and sets itself as the owner of it. It points a global pointer to the object, setting the biased counter to one. Then, T2 overwrites the global pointer, decrementing the shared counter of the object. As a result, the shared counter becomes negative.

That can’t happen with the biased counter because, when it would end up going negative, the object gets unbiased, and the shared counter gets decreased instead.

That asymmetry is what ensures that only a single thread updates the biased counter, so that no locks are needed to do that.
> An NFT does not represent a ownership over anything more than the NFT itself unless it also comes with legal and/or physical possession of the thing it supposedly represents. If it comes with legal or physical possession then the NFT is not the core of the transaction, is it?

Of course, you buy a house, not a deed. The fact that people are hideously misinformed about NFTs isn't a problem with NFTs though. It doesn't make any sense to me to blame the technology for people's ignorance.

An NFT isn't proof of ownership of a work. That already exists: it's called "copyright".

> you should expect to see this regular grid disappear since their options for reaching a destination are no longer constrained to a single path along most of the route to their destination.

That's a post hoc rationalization. All those complicating factors can exist in 2D too. Are you predicting that the 2D hexagonal structure will also be lost in a 2D environment with odors/etc., and this conclusion about it being 2D vs 3D is false?
Kubernetes the hard way is an educational resource, meant to server as a resource for those interested in deep diving into the platform, similar to Linux from scratch. Like the statement on the label:

> Kubernetes The Hard Way is optimized for learning, which means taking the long route to ensure you understand each task required to bootstrap a Kubernetes cluster.

> The results of this tutorial should not be viewed as production ready, and may receive limited support from the community, but don't let that stop you from learning!

If you want to spin up cluster that you actually want to use you'll pick one of the many available free or paid distros, and spinning up something like k3s with rancher, microk8s or even the pretty vanilla option of kubeadmin is pretty simple.
Keep in mind that people want to make those "basic" ingredients that are often overlooked. Bread, vinegar, sauerkraut, even butter can be made from scratch at home. They're usually more labor and time intensive, and don't follow the "heat thing up and add to other thing" pattern, but the recipes are out there.
> the record is something like 6 weeks, so multiple years would be quite the outlier.

You have to be very careful with this kind of informal statements, because probability is a tricky thing.

For example, assume that a vaccine has a probability P of causing long-term bad effects and that we observe historically that 1000 vaccines have no long-term bad effects. What can we rationally say about P? It would be tempting to conclude that P is zero or at least negligibly small (maybe 2^(-1000) or something). However, this cannot be the correct answer because if P were 1/1000, you would observe the historical pattern with probability .999^1000 ~= 1/e, or about 1/3 of the time. A more sophisticated analysis would conclude that it is very likely that P is somewhere between 0 and 2/1000, and if you believe a thing called the "Laplace Rule of Succession", the expected value of P is something like 1/1002.

Now, 1000 widely deployed vaccines sounds like a reasonable upper bound to the number of vaccines ever produced, which would suggest that the probability of this vaccine being safe is probably 100% but the error bar is O(1/1000). O(1/1000) is about the same as the probability of the virus killing me, so it is perfectly rational to have doubts.
The creator mentions a lot about the samples and "piecing them together", are midi tracks just performing/triggering the samples/instruments in a DAW? I'd be keen to know more about the algorithm(s) used to generate the actual score/midi, and if there are plans to make the source available?

Just incredible how well this fits with the genre. Very tasteful, listenable and purposeful grooves. Still privides the mile-wide millimeter-deep experience of other procedural things, such as the game No Mans Sky, where despite never encountering the exact same thing twice it still feels like the same soup of attributes just jumbled and therefore "samey". Do you feel that narrowing in on a computional model of the music genre has diminished or enhanced your appreciation of it? Is the real music pretty predictable and samey too?

I love using generators and other tools as a primer or basis for writing music so Id love to learn how this incredible result was achieved and get my grubby hands on it, even.

A lot of the cloud providers don't bill directly for kubernetes management, instead it's just the node resources.

Either way, as another comment points out, Rancher and many other solutions make the orchestration of creating your own Kubernetes cluster really boring.

We run a few kubernetes clusters on premise, and for the longest time it was just 1 person running some Kubernetes clusters.. we even have other teams in QA/Engineering running their own with it.

To me coding speed is the speed at which you write code with few enough bugs that it is fine to run it in production. So debugging is included in that number, if you have to spend so much time debugging your code then you aren't a fast coder.

If you write a ton of bad code yesterday and got nothing done today since you had to debug all day, then you weren't fast yesterday and slow today, you were slow both days.
I didn't say anything 'ought' to be anything, so no stumbling occurred.

I said that a double standard is being applied. The payment-for-interview concept is being rejected because it links relationships and outcomes. However, nearly everything in society links relationships to outcomes. It makes no sense to say that this one thing is stupid-evil because of that, and not comment at all on all the other things that work the same way.

If you want to set your standard that "society should not allow anything that links relationships to outcomes" then do that honestly across the board. And acknowledge how much you need to destroy.

If you don't want to acknowledge that, then this argument makes no sense to apply only here. It's an isolated demand for fairness.

And it was never about how "improving things is hard". This isn't like studying for a test where you "just try harder" to get a better outcome. It's an engineering problem with tradeoffs - to gain one thing you must sacrifice others.

Changing society means sacrificing things - you need to acknowledge how much you want to sacrifice to serve your utopian ideals. And I can point out how dangerous and naive that makes you, just like all your utopian forebears dreaming of a socialist heaven.

He literally discusses all your points in the first paragraph:

> The top reasons I see people say that productivity doesn't matter (or is actually bad) fall into one of three buckets:
1. Working on the right thing is more important than working quickly
2. Speed at X doesn't matter because you don't spend much time doing X
3. Thinking about productivity is bad and you should "live life"

Here's his argument for your last point:

> The last major argument I see against working on velocity assigns negative moral weight to the idea of thinking about productivity and working on velocity at all. This kind of comment often assigns positive moral weight to various kinds of leisure, such as spending time with friends and family. I find this argument to be backwards. If someone thinks it's important to spend time with friends and family, an easy way to do that is to be more productive at work and spend less time working.

Personally, I deliberately avoid working long hours and I suspect I don't work more than the median person at my company, which is a company where I think work-life balance is pretty good overall. A lot of my productivity gains have gone to leisure and not work. Furthermore, deliberately working on velocity has allowed me to get promoted relatively quickly4, which means that I make more money than I would've made if I didn't get promoted, which gives me more freedom to spend time on things that I value.
