I agree that especially in pandemic times this is hugely beneficial, although I'd recommend doing it in the opposite order: quick 1 minute updates followed by casual off-topic chatter for the rest of the meeting. I've found that folks are much more relaxed after giving standup updates :)
Sounds pretty sweet. The last "leader" I operated under used to lock us into 1.5-2 hour daily stand ups every morning and would use the time to either bitch, delegate or brag about his work. It's was a fucking nightmare.
It has less hackers, I'd give it that. But yeah, in every other conceivable way the old BNET was miles ahead.
I basically stopped working in software because of managers thinking their processes (i.e. their nagging) are more important than code.

Most of the benefits we supposedly get out of agile could be accomplished by a non-dumbass technical lead looking at git histories for 10 minutes a day. I suspect this is how real world software teams get things done behind their so called managers' backs.
Optical drives aren't common in most consumer devices but that isn't really a hurdle if you're trying to recover archived data on optical media. If you're only worried about DVDs a USB DVD drive can easily be had for ~$20. Blu-Ray drives aren't very expensive, I included one in my last desktop build for the purpose of data archival.

Many consumers figured optical disks would last a long time but many knew about disc rot from the get go. I picked optical media that marketed itself as archive quality. My oldest discs are reaching 20 years old now and I've lost less than 10% of the discs I've burned that were burned on good discs.

These days I burn data to M-DISCs which use a ceramic layer instead of organic. They're rated to 1000 years and the Blu-Rays are quite durable. I've had one bouncing around my desk and outside for several years. The one on my desk has zero errors while the one outside has a few bit errors.
hey, if you have time to detail those mistakes I'd be happy to fix them in the text. Can you email me at mattferraro.dev@gmail.com

I can accept that someone involved in the project is happy with the number of commits and though I don't care much about it, I don't mind them being happy either. I'm actually, truly, and only interested to know how usable this project is.

It's the NCA site, not a news agency - the sole reason they publish this stuff is to win the propaganda war, so that kind of language is par-for-the-course.
I feel you. Words of those in leadership positions can often seem fairly hollow. They don't just seem so, though, they are and that's on purpose.

Being authentic as a leader is impossible. Your thoughts, desires, core beliefs, etc are going to be offensive to someone -- even if those disagreeable things made agreeable outcomes for people mad at your words. I mean offensive in the broadest possible definition here; more plainly, they'll be perceived negatively by someone with enough motivation to be nasty and often it's not worth the trouble of dealing with someone who woke up feeling nasty. We live in a world where people think it's okay to read into the words (and lives) of others, try to derive deep meaning out of simple actions (even if there is none), and where people believe you're lying by default (as a leader). The fact is, as time has gone on confirmation of these things in various people and businesses builds, so they're hard assuations to just toss aside. Therefore, it is most safe to type a paragraph giving direction, listing accomplishments, and thanking entities that helped you along the way in the most taste-free way one can, while saying absolutely nothing at all.

Why would it have changed? It's the successor product from the same company, and I've seen no evidence that they've changed their approach to... anything... in the time since then.
Deer, Elk, and Moose are all part of the Cervid or deer family.

Also, in various parts of the world, the names are commonly used for different specific animals, which can be confusing. What's called a Moose in say, Sweden is called an Elk in Britain. But what we call elk in the US are a different species entirely. Elk in the US are another name for the red deer species, which was once considered merely a subspecies.
Sorry that I don't know how to present this more constructively, but you sound pretty tin-foil-hat-y. You argument seems to be just "I don't understand this thing, so doesn't that mean someone could have introduced it out of malice". As the replies from your previous comment stated, try reading about the block chain protocol. It's definitely easier to understand than the whole of our fiat currency system.

In my opinion, crypto is largely a ponzi scheme, so rest assured I'm not saying this out of love for bitcoin. But I also don't believe there's some master-mind illuminati behind the scenes orchestrating this intentionally. This is a 100% open and transparent protocol that people are supporting out of fear of existing societal power structure. If you have a good reason to suspect someone of manipulating crypto for some greater purpose, present your evidence and let us evaluate it. But vague paranoia about some puppet master's scheme sounds a bit like crying wolf to me.

We as a society just haven't gotten good at pricing in externalities (eg: carbon emissions) to consumer goods yet. If crypto miners were providing enough societal value to afford the excessive consumption of energy, then I think everyone would be praising crypto as the next industrial revolution -- improving quality of life for everyone! But instead, I think most people recognize it as siphoning value from many for the benefit of a fortunate few.
By definition only iron rusts, but that name is gone.
A friend once said to me that being a session musician was 50% talent and 50% "don't be an asshole." When someone is competent, pleasant to work with, and reliable - the studio engineers notice, quietly ask for your info, and suggest you when a band needs someone.

However, I think the problem with minimum wage jobs like fast food is that the kind of people who need that sort of job probably have a lot of problems in their life, among them money; it's hard to keep reliable transportation, you don't have paid time off to decompress or deal with family/medical stuff, and so on. You work a lot of hours to try to get ahead, which leaves little time for anything else.
Thanks a lot for your thorough explanation. I was not aware of the gestures thing. Perhaps I will give it a try when I get a new laptop. Then I can always go back to Ubuntu if I do not like it.
Don't know where you live but gigabit fiber is nowhere to be found in these parts.

The game changer(s) were when browsers implemented resumable downloads, and most giant file distribution moved to torrents.
So you’re saying some people cannot do racism?

Can someone from LatAm be racist against a North American black, what about against an Caribbean littoral black? A Guatemalan vs a Belizean? Or vice versa? A Chinese from China in Mexico vs an ethnic Chinese in Mexico vs, have your pick.
The candidate probably wants a job where their specific skills are needed and where they can leverage said skills for more money.

Imagine as a programmer you have a bunch of specialized skills, have worked at a bunch of FAANGs and the interviewer is just like, "Oh you can program when you can you start and BTW here's $X". The number is probably too low and you'd be pissed at your time being wasted.

Edit - to add to this, dismissing the value of an employee's skills is a deliberate tactic to underpay.

The purpose of a functioning standup is contextualization. If you know your teammate is still working on feature X, maybe you notice that your own work is related and you can design some shared data structure that speeds up both of you.

If you want to be an IC with no responsibility, that's fine, just make it clear to your team that your assigned work is all you are going to do. If you want to be more productive individually and as a team, though, the interconnectedness of the team is just as important as what any one member is working on.
There are several US companies that provide the same service, though they ostensibly operate under guidelines set by the US government.

As someone who was busted for hacking way back in the day, it perturbs me just a little bit that I could legally develop an exploit and sell it to someone who I know will use it for illegal activity (but activity that the US govt. might approve of, regardless of legality), but if I myself use this exploit I'll be facing serious jail time. Or if I sell it to someone who isn't on an unofficial "approved" list of users.
Yes, I was always curious how large the modern mafia is. My impression from recent busts seems to be very large in Europe (based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EncroChat) and close to non-existent in the states.
Companies can be disbanded and reformed. The people in charge can distance themselves from the "failed" attempt and make a new, nonblacklisted one. That's why punishment and blacklisting has to extend to decision-makers, rather then flimsy symbolic entities.
Have we really reached a place where now "Thank you Company" means "I'm leaving Company"???

Thanks for your comment!

I agree with you, narrowed down will make everything sharper.

But I don't know, I need something like this, all-in-one-events, probably the issue are categories and curated information. First month has been very time consuming, but it's something we can go refinating.

I think events make it much easier to sell flights, hotels or other events tickets...

What do you think about the events categories? do you miss anything?

It depends how many of those 10 steps involve cramming the food full of extra sugar, fat and salt. With industrially processed food, that's almost inevitably a big part of the processing. Industrially processed food wouldn't have to be so unhealthy, but it is consistently enough to make it a pretty accurate heuristic for how healthy food is.
Yes but it's kHz-range PWM square-wave AC; there's no 60Hz sinewave involved. Converting to/from a 60Hz sinewave requires extra circuitry that decreases efficiency. And in this application a 60Hz AC sinewave serves no useful purpose.
Unique compared to? Costa Rica? Ok. Compared to Iran, Russia, China, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Cuba, etc…

Unless you want to live in a dictatorship where the government dictates what is and isn’t a useful use of energy, the constant bitcoin electricity usage hysteria is a waste of everyone’s energy. :-)

Yet most of the studies on this show that states that stopped extended unemployment benefits didn't have better results in terms of filling jobs than states that had a more generous plan.

What's funny is that for YEARS we've had employers saying "We'll go out of business if the minimum wage is raised $1." But now, they seem to find a way to pay much higher wages. It's just complete BS.

When I was a wee lad working in California fast food, minimum wage went up $.15, to a whopping $3.10/hour. What did the franchisee I worked for do? He figured out that at Store A, he had used roughly 30000 man hours of labor. $.15 increase in minimum wage meant an additional labor cost of $4500 (not counting payroll taxes, so maybe an additional 25%).

So he tells the store manager, cut the total # of hours used by 1400 over the course of the year. No thought given to how this would affect QOS, just cut the costs. So shortsighted.

> Of course words are going to be delicately chosen?

that question mark at the end of a non-question. Nothing personal, just critique on a larger trend, but IMO upspeak and vocal fry are more annoying than corporate speak.

But I agree about these exit letter being more delicate. The more intimate notes are fine internally.
> If these miners are Kazakhstani

Article implies a lot have moved from China.

> presumably they are spending the majority of these gains in-country

Unevidenced assumption, that they are even spending the gains at all - it's crypto, after all.

Unevidenced assumption, probably false for crypto libertarians.

I would say the title should be "reciprocal" of a vector. Right? The inverse of a function (f^-1) has an unfortunate notation equality with the reciprocal (x^-1), or multiplicatory inverse. Or am I wrong?
Counting size and orientation as extra dimensions would be justifiable if you could overlap dots of different sizes or orientations, even a little.

I use DDG and Brave Search, both are pretty decent.
Every city on earth thinks their traffic is the most chaotic. Having driven around Manhattan a lot, I'd say it is probably the easiest use case for automation. Wide streets, perfect grid, slow traffic, flat, standard weather conditions, no two-way traffic lanes to cross. In fact I fail to see how this data would even be valuable to Waymo compared to what they are already getting from Phoenix and San Francisco.

An example from Canada is the LMO visa. Employers can essentially sponsor a foreign worker, but only IF they first post a job ad and prove to the government that a Canadian worker can't do it.

It's pretty easy to imagine what those job ads look like (a million prerequisites and minimum wage). And subsequently the foreign workers are heavily taken advantage of since they can't switch jobs on that particular visa.

Edit - I should add that immigrants put up with it anyway as it gives a path to permanent resident status. The whole visa program erodes the bargaining power of Canadian workers and explains why there's so many jobs advertisements on Canadian job boards with absurdly low pay for the requirements; for example programming jobs that pay $17/hour.
You can use Firefox Developer Edition and make your own addon. It isn't exactly straightforward, especially the "communicate with external software" part (e.g. in Windows you need to put some entry in the registry to let Firefox know what program you need to communicate with) and communication has to be via JSON which in practice means you need to write some sort of proxy app.

But it is possible. I have made my own little addon that calls yt-dlp (previously youtube-dl) with the current URL to save videos from YouTube and other supported places (e.g. Reddit) with a single click. The addon communicates with a Python program to send it the current page's URL which in turn just changes to a predefined directory (where downloaded videos are stored) and calls yt-dlp with that URL.

I was a bit hesitant at first to bother with all that but eventually i decided that it is "my browser" so i should be able to do whatever i want with it and certainly adding a button to call a program with the current URL should be more than possible.

The downside is that Developer Edition updates way more often than regular Firefox which in theory might break stuff but personally i never had an issue with it.

This is an interesting pop-science read, but who is Trevor Klee? As far as I can tell, he's a college exam tutor who's written a few "how to pass the GRE" booklets. He's writing about trying to start a biomedical business around this idea, but if his LinkedIn is accurate, he's never had a job beyond tutoring college students. His list of "failed projects," linked to from the blog, contains a bunch of similar biomed business ideas, none of which have anything at all to do with each other on a technical level ("Using RNAi for agriculture", "Exploring ketamine for blood pressure").

This basically reads as "I got a masters in molecular bio, have never worked in the field, and want you to give me money for my next crackpot idea". That doesn't mean the idea is wrong, but this guy isn't the one who's gonna make it happen.
Hi. I wrote whole section on the history of GA and what happened and why it isn't already the norm, but I chose to remove it because the article is already far too long, and I don't think that my intended audience (engineers, compsci people, university undergrads) would care about the history. Apologies that wasn't what you would have preferred.

This. Any talk of "labor shortage" should be seen for what it is: a request for subsidized immigration to keep labor costs low.

If I know when the teammate starts working on X and stops working on X, why am I not able to infer that he is working on X during the period in between? In reality, I already know that he is working on X and anything that is relevant to that already applies.

I'm still not clear on what information ”worked on feature X yesterday. Will continue to work on feature X today” gives me.
Wow this is very unprofessional.

Tbf London is a very different place to Liverpool, what's standard for London is often extravagant pretty much anywhere else. I'm also up North, about the same latitude as Liverpool, and to me that does sound very "plush", though I may be biased because I live in a working class bubble and don't know city centre property prices that well.
I have been on teams where a daily standup was no issue, ones where we needed to go to a weekly standup, and ones where getting everyone to attend the standup was problematic. Each team is different. Use what the team finds beneficial, modify or chuck what they do not. My personal experience is that on a team of mostly senior engineers a daily standup is a good thing.
