Personally I have started leaving the camera on because it’s incredibly tempting to just use my phone and tune out with the camera off. I have also noticed that camera off people tend to speak a lot less than those with it on.
Agile never valued individuals. It does kinda values interactions, because it turns literally everything into formalized negotiation between multiple people. Which leads to social issues, but who cares, because agile dont actually value people.

> Working software over comprehensive documentation

We have no idea what our software should do nor whether it works. There is no place where you can learn how it works. It theoretically makes it easier to pretend it "works", because no one can tell whether it works. Practically, it never really works.

> Customer collaboration over contract negotiation

You mean constant negotiation all the time.
There's arguments over whether the CDC was politicized under Trump [1]. It's possible this was career bureaucracy failures of course and the Biden administration is just trying to whitewash that failure by blaming the previous administration. For me however, the fact that right wing politicians appear to consistently exert pressure on scientific agencies [2] to toe the party line gives me a prior that scientific agencies under right wing governments are less trustworthy because they are subject to undue influence.

[1] https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackbrewster/2021/01/24/cdc-dir...

[2] This is based on my observations of Canada and the USA where "politically sensitive" topics like global warming, reproductive rights, & gun rights (in the USA) are decidedly marked by publication and public speaking bans on the parts of scientists. These kinds of actions generally do not appear to be present under left-leaning administrations which seem to tolerate dissenting opinions and politically inconvenient statements/papers better. This does not necessarily imply a similar action for something like the CDC/pandemic, but I worry there may be unofficial indirect signalling effects from scientists observing what happens if you cross the current political power base.

This sounds very ideological. It looks like a personal trap that you might fall in the future. Be careful.
There are no insults there, and the argument you didn't successfully understand isn't mine
Probably the most brilliant contributor to the art of sound design is a guy called Walter Murch. He's somewhat of a polymath in film, as he not only designed the sound for The Godather trilogy and Apocalypse Now, but he also edited the picture.

Anyway, Murch put a lot of his thoughts about both editing and sound into a book called 'In the Blink of an Eye', which is still read by film students today. One passage that always stuck with me is an informal rule that Murch gave himself after he discovered something odd about the interplay between sound and audience immersion. After a lot of experimentaiton, Murch found that in any 'moment' of a film (say 3 - 7 seconds), an audience can only process 2-3 layers of sound playing at once.

For example, Michael Corleone goes to meet Moe Greene and they're walking through the lobby. We hear footsteps, the elevator ding, and the atmos of the hotel. If Murch had added the sound of he luggage of the bell-boys or some guests arguing in the rooms, it would be too overwhelming for us and the verisimilitude of the film would become compromised.

I guess I'm mentioning Murch because this informal sound rule was always independent of speech from the actors, which he doesn't treat as a layer of sound. To me, this may be a very practical example of what these researchers seem to be finding: that there is indeed some parallel processing going on with speech and sound in our auditory cortex.
Yes, they do. I did admin work a long time ago and mostly it was planned to have information about the connection, in case they have a dynamic IP. It works reliably to this day.
Yes, it can, I'm using it personally and can confirm that the PDF indexing works without you having to install anything else yourself, it seems like every binary needed for it to run is bundled together with the main app.
> better than buses because a smoother ride;

I'd also add better toilets, or more convenient, at least. Most of the buses do not have them and those that do have them are just too cumbersome (you risk half of the bus hearing you doing your thing while inside in there). And "holding it in" (so to speak) until the next stop is no civilised way to travel, especially after a certain age.
A simple mental model for organizing metrics
I don't have time to argue with someone who's demanding to be told that vaccines work, and I have even less time for "not every car crash is stopped by a seatbelt so seatbelts are dumb"

I'm not getting confused. I'm discarding facile positions based around inappropriate literalism
With a 20 minute flight time (and is that with any safety margin remaining? Doesn’t say.) at ~60mph I can only make a 10 mile round trip. 20 miles of each landing spot has a charger (and I doubt there’s weight budget to carry a decent charger with me).

It’s a very cool kit for hobbyists but there are very few missions this can fly with utility.
But surely we should not ban the term, and actually speak more of this, not less, so it doesn't happen again?
Agree with this,many people think that the right process is agile. In fact, many times they don't consider the practical significance of these processes at all,but just learn from others' processes. This has no significance for agile practice
That is a good idea but they actually also should do:

- hide any repo that hasn't seen any commits

- show commits ahead and behind as well as number of tags

- include issue tracker activity

- highlight those forks that were renamed which is often an indicator of a new package/gem being released from this fork

- Show a link from the main page of a repository to the most active fork to make it clear that there is an active fork at all.
Ha! Are you trying to defame me by calling me a liar?

I've quoted you twice and paraphrased your argument once by saying that it "seems to be that CDA 230 doesn't matter." Perhaps that was an oversimplification; however, let's be clear, CDA 230 is a stronger litigation shield than the First Amendment. For that reason, it needs to go.
Standard libraries are very concrete, not academic at all. Learning the standard library means learning how to open a network connection and making an HTTP request to some server. The language becomes useful and gives results immediately. Theory means stuff like language concurrency models, it becomes important once you start considering how to structure the code at a high level. How do I use this language to handle X requests concurrently, hopefully in parallel?
There is a known solution to this. You version the protocol. New endpoints talk to each other with the new version, old endpoints that only understand the old version use that. After a period of time there are few enough people who still have the old version and it gets disabled.
I'm not sure how they do it exactly, but I imagine you could, as a first approximation, infer something like that from how hard the driver brakes and how reliably they keep distance from other cars, both of which Tesla's telemetry can and does collect. Tesla will beep at you if it thinks you're forgetting to brake. It also knows if you ran a red light or a stop sign, since it recognizes traffic lights and signs. It knows if you're speeding, too. And it knows if you're speeding near a school or in a construction area, as well. AI is a bit of a double edged sword, since if Tesla knows this, it's only a matter of time before this data makes its way into some sort of a "social score" metric, that will affect things like car and health insurance.
because this would be a great solution to his problems?

This isn’t really a show hn, as much as a blog post about UI. None the less it was very informative and raised an interesting point, the help section of software has become anemic in all cases. Even MS Office help is nearly useless and you’re better off finding a tutorial online. I think that goes hands in hands with the degraded state that is software development.
Reading these things is good advice! But it's distinct from the advice given in the article, which is about reading libraries close to the heart of the language that are written in that language itself.

JS is a bit odd here, possibly for good reasons (ubiquity + dynamic nature of the lang itself might mean runtime considerations override any degree of self-hosting), but it basically means it's not possible for standard definitions of standard library. So the question becomes... what are some masterful libraries written in JS?

This is the best description I have seen. I never thought of it that way
From the articles I posted:

> Yet Reuters has found new evidence that the CDC’s response to the pandemic also was marred by actions - or inaction - by the agency’s career scientists and frontline staff.

> In addition to learning of the early warning, reviewers determined the Respiratory Viruses Diagnostic Laboratory, run by a highly regarded scientist named Stephen Lindstrom, was beset with problems, including "process failures, a lack of appropriate recognized laboratory quality standards, and organizational problems related to the support and management of a laboratory supporting an outbreak response," the review said.

I know it's in vogue in America to blame everything on the current administration (this happens on both/all sides of the aisle) but in reality, institutional rot is responsible for a lot more of the shortcomings in institutional failures. There is an obvious decline that has been taking place in many agencies for decades, across both Democratic and Republican administrations.
The country of the Netherlands just about owes its current existence to the practice of beach nourishment. In a lot of cases it is the most economical and least impactfull way to defend an eroding sandy coast. So called hard solutions (rock and conrete based) mostly fail within a few years/decades. And what is the point of living along the coast if there is no beach anyways?

Note that it is well understood that beach nourishment is a recurring thing, and thus will be planned/budgetted for. Any other kind of coastal defence structure will also need (a lot of) maintenance which is oftentimes neglected, leading to catastrophic failure (sudden collapse/breach). A sandy coast can certainly fail to provide adequate protection, but it is rarely sudden breach/collapse/rupture.
If I asked users to attach a bug report file, most of them would complain and tell me to stop waisting their time and get the problem fixed. I have many times explained to users that I found their issue in our reporting and have not ever got a negative response.

The average user does not give two shits that you can see exactly what line of code their instance of your game crashed at. They want to play a video game and not play find the bug with you.

The vast majority of users would not even be as nice as to email you saying there was a crash. They would just immediately complain on twitter or refund the product if it wasn’t resolved without any interaction.
This is natural due to the low-level nature of a language implementation. And at some point, what's truly going on is often hidden behing a compiler intrinsic or a foreign function call to the runtime.

At the same time, there are going to be parts of the standard library that are less platform-specific and thus more readable, for example the Java Collection Framework.
I did this during university, but made it much more efficient. I wrote a program that would work like this:

- while reading, instead of copying, the software would ask me to enter "facts" in form of questions with the most important piece of knowledge being the answer. I would type the question and the answer into the software - much faster than writing anyway

- after I have gone through all the material, I would start the Q&A part of the software, which would ask me all the questions in either random order or sequentially (it was an option).

- at first, it would only show the question and wait for a key press to show the answer. After the answer was shown, I could mark whether I knew the answer or not. If not, it would mark that question to be asked in the next loop. This is basically the same as the asterisk method.

- once I got through all the questions, it would go into next pass, asking only those questions that I didn't know the answer to. And then filter out the remaining ones, and loop again and again until the all answers are known.

- then I would restart the whole system with all the questions to check.

What I learned after using this for about 2 years, is that there's a short term memory problem. Often I would know some of the answers on the first pass, but a week later I might forget it.

I found a way that works much better: Even if you mark that you know the answer, it will come up once again in the next pass. If you mark that you know it twice in a row, only then it would be removed. For some reason, this made the knowledge stick much better.
Quadrotors use rpm-based control, which is simple and effective, but doesn't scale as the rotor gets bigger and the moment of inertia increases. You could switch to pitch-based control, but then you lose the simplicity, which is a big part of the appeal. The other issue is that the efficiency of any propulsion system is proportional to the disk area. Four smaller propellers have the advantage of zero net torque on the airframe, but carry a substantial penalty in terms of efficiency, which cuts into performance.

Fixing these issues inevitably leads you to a helicopter.
I think some scientific experiment would be needed to prove the hypothesis made by the article.
And that is unrelated to the point that the iPod was a clone of existing tech. You might have liked it more, but that doesn't change the arrow of time.
If it’s a purely technical meeting, I’d wonder why it’s even a call rather than writing. But I’d guess that some might disagree that it’s “purely technical”, and there the video call makes sense. Perhaps there’s more need than ever to establish a purpose for the meeting before you start.

I tried watching a couple, and the guy just comes off as an insufferable douchebag. Acting like a twat and mugging for the camera.

edit: having watched a couple more videos, this just reinforces my theory that the most popular youtube channels are also the most mediocre. This guy's formula is basically 'travel to $random_CIS_country; check-in to a hotel; go on a short walking tour within a few blocks of the hotel while acting like an asshat; the end.' And this gets millions of views and subscribers.

This guy basically goes to one poor town after another and then complains that...it is poor and wonders how people can live there.

The videos seem to oscillate from just being obnoxious to being downright rude and insulting. It's depressing that they seem to be extremely popular.
Earth surface is about 500 trillion square metres, and if they make only the ground, it will be just 133 trillion of surface cubes. IDK how Minecraft stores cubes, but probably this will be 16-byte int, which makes 266 Tb.

Factor in about 10x LZMA compression, this will take a size of ~26 terabytes of hard drive, or that order of magnitude. Not too much, I'd say.

Still I don't think this is worth a form of art, given that 99% of landscape will never be seen by anyone.

those feature are either horrible

I speculate that most users of languages that have these features (Kotlin has all of them) would be unhappy if you took them away.

algebraic data types and pattern-matching -- will lead to better development practices, rather than making it easier to work with inferior ones.

I am not arguing against those features, but the ones I asked for seem easier to implement by comparison as they are already in other successful JVM languages.
Furthermore, they are far more frequently useful for my use case of web services storing, transforming and moving data around, often without caring too much about their semantics.
I speculate that a large portion -probably a majority- of JEE/Spring devs are in the same position.

I am disturbed by how universally true you seem to consider your positions - as if there were no cases in which mutability is preferable to immutability (even if that is sometimes just due to the way some ORM or serialization library works).

If these features are such bad ideas there should be plenty of stories of Kotlin/C# devs cursing the language for providing them with these footguns.

Having a JDK dev respond like this only strengthens my argument that cageface has no reason to fear that Kotlin will lose steam - Java has different priorities. There is nothing wrong with that, but more developers who want these features should be aware that they will not be getting them from future Java versions.

I think it's pretty clear the GP was asking if the optimizations implemented for x86 that aren't implemented for aarch64 would actually improve performance of generated aarch64 code. It's a question about CPU architecture/microarchitecture. That's a different question as to if the optimizations improve performance of generated x86 code.

For instance, I imagine the x86_64 register allocation does some variant on graph coloring for register allocation, with an additional pass to assign lettered registers (rax, rbx, etc.) to the most heavily used registers, since using higher numbered registers requires a REX prefix byte. In addition, many instructions have more compact encodings when eax/rax is the destination register. At a minimum, excess REX prefixes take up instruction cache space. There's no parallel for aarch64, so there's no sense in implementing logic to try and make sure the low-numbered aarch64 registers are used more. (Though, on 32-bit ARM with Thumb/Thumb2, only a subset of registers are available, so there is a similar optimization for 32-bit ARM targets that support Thumb/Thumb2 when optimizing for space.)

I imagine there are better examples, but my point is that some optimizations are useless on some architectures.
My interpretation is: The artificial construct of a man striking the computer is/was running on the computer that was struck. So the artificial construct inadvertantly destroyed itself. Perhaps implying that violence is not a good solution. An odd bit of humor, but I liked it.
Keto GT shark tank pills
On the off chance that you have as of late added a couple of more pounds and you are searching for the best strategy to wipe out the abundance fat, you are in the ideal spot. In all actuality heftiness and overweight issues have turned into a significant worry in the public eye. In spite of the fact that there are a lot of weight reduction arrangements like working out, consuming less calories, medical procedure, and shakes, the vast majority of them are risky techniques, while some don't work by any means.
