When I was on a team that caught the agile flu and wanted to experience the standup fever, it soon became very confusing to the team to know when communication should occur.

What was naturally communicated throughout the day became bottled up for standup. "Taken advantage" suggests nefarious intent, but I expect in a lot of cases it was simply because people have no idea what purpose standups serve if they otherwise communicate normally.

And since standup advocates suggest that people should be called upon to say their piece, there is even more incentive to save up something in order to have something to say. "I'm afraid I have no new information to share" every day gets old very quickly. I know first hand, because that's exactly what we were left with when we tried to also communicate outside of standups.
Justify the last eight hours we paid you for code monkey.
> Seems like a great opportunity for folk to reevaluate whether they need a Google account at all.

Yeah, but still pretty inconvenient. I migrated all my main stuff way from Google years ago, but I have a bunch of accounts I use as throwaways that will be a much bigger PITA to use.
Thanks for the reply! Hope you pass along that for the ones of us only using dedicated an option to have that in NA would be greatly appreciated! Last I looked into deploying infra in both EU and NA I had to use multiple providers.

I believe Apache Traffic Server doesn't really compete with the likes of nginx or traefik. Apache Traffic Server is a HTTP caching server/web accelerator, thus it's specialized for caching HTTP requests and consequently it's simpler to deploy and configure. With that in mind, it competes with the likes of Squid[1] or Varnish[2].

Has there been any data suggesting that the vaccines present a significant risk to children?
I expect they also made it super easy to _not_ have to talk to customer support as well.

Millenial/GenZ jokes aside, having to talk to someone can be a massive deterrent. I might be waiting at a doctor's office, on a train, etc. I can't tell you how many trials I've bailed on once I hit a mandatory "Talk to a salesperson" step.
Having 2FA set up usually gets around those pesky risk-scoring algorithms.
> the solution is a restructure of society that encourages and reinforces work that people find meaningful.

Upvoted, but, I've seen non-shitty standups where the effort people put into to make stuff work was valued both by team mates and management and that did not involve venturing into Marxian territory.
Only thing I can think of is eminent domain. Here it using it requires either a specific decree by the national government (as in, the prime minister), zoning plan approved by the elected municipal government, or in some limited cases, apparently involving electric power lines, an agency. The owner is to be informed of the proceedings before they take effect.

The random clerk does not get to do write off your property belonging to someone else, unless your elected representative had a change voice an opinion in a proceedings where a clear public decision by the elected representatives to specifically take away someone's property was made.
That's a neat trick, thanks! That said--I want to use a browser, because that's how to get to the thing in the way with the least friction. So while in a pinch that definitely helps, it's not (to me) reasonable for daily use, which constrains the internet usage on that machine a lot.
1. Add OTP to your account ("Google Authenticator", Lastpass, etc).
2. Remove phone number from account.
3. Enjoy not needing a phone ever again to login.
4. Might take a couple of days for (3) to stick, train the algorith by logging in a couple of times using OTP.
It's potentially quite expensive. Say someone costs the company $800 a day, all in (taxes etc), ie their salary is under 800x250 = $200k/year.

Dragging them into a meeting for an hour (8 hour day) is thus $100. 10 people perhaps, that's a grand a day you're spending on meetings.

How much of that hour does each participant actually need to be there? YMMV of course.

You can't have no meetings at all, but declining returns to scale will hit you on both time and people-count axes. I recall working for a firm with tens of thousands of staff that would do a global all-hands each quarter. Costs a bomb.

Just keep is small and quick, preferable async so that the least productive times are used.

My impression from the comments is, that at least back then, it could be faster than things like Nginx or Varnish

You will know when you need it. Half of the companies I’ve worked for required an ISO 2700x audit in order to do business with larger b2b customers. It was part of the customer’s due diligence process when selecting vendors.

It can take a long time to complete an audit, especially that first one. You’re going to need to show a lengthy paper trail of policies and documented compliance.

I think it can bring good discipline to an organization when embraced, but that is often not how it gets done. And in some organizations the discipline is stifling. You’ll want to pay attention to how it is impacting teams.

A previous company I worked for used Process Street for procedure completion and tracking, but I always wondered if all auditors would be OK with such a flexible system.

If the app supports deep linking, then a browser can open up content in an app. See most video conference links.

I imagine a browser extensions that adds deep-links for certain media to be opened in external software is possible. Just needs coordination with the app...
This is not my opinion against 2FA, it is me using this moment of friction to ask a question most people are often too happy to ignore when things are going fine. Are you able to live without your captors or not?

It doesn't have to be competitive.

4+ kWh electric showers are ubiquitous in my country. Literally a dumb piece of metal resistance immersed in water. Anything is better than the current situation. What if it was a processor instead?

What if a bunch of home servers could heat up stored water through their heat instead of just dissipating that energy uselessly into the air?

We'd be getting the heat we need and we'd be helping build a decentralized cash network. We were gonna spend energy heating up stuff anyway. Might as well get some cryptocurrency out of that heat.
If you have OTP 2FA set up they let you login from anywhere.
Why would 2FA of all things be the critical issue? Tech savvy people should understand and use hardware security keys at this point to be securing their cloud accounts in general.

It isn't that simple. Some geographies have intrinsically higher carbon footprints than others, all other things being equal and with similar levels of effort and investment. The cost of reducing carbon footprint is not remotely uniform, through no fault of the people that live there.

Differentially taxing people by virtue of where they live for no local purpose is reliably unpopular in similar contexts, and that would easily be the case here.
I used to write an X11 window managers as a kick-the-tires exercise when learning a new language. The most fun one was Common Lisp with CLX. You could stay in the WM and code it live. When something went wrong you could continue after making fixes. It’s what lead me to Common Lisp being my favorite language going on decades now.

Yes. The other difference is that football has absolutely nothing to do with software development whatsoever, so why organise as a football team, that just seems like a bad joke to me.

To prevent all downloading, not just automatic. When they remove a video, they don't want you to have an archived copy to prove the content ever existed, or to watch it without their permission.
Did they get rid of the GIL?
The question should be "does my standup provide enough value to the participants to be worth the time? Why or why not? Are there other ways in which we can provide this value?". There is no 1 size fits all solution. Some teams may not find any value in standups, so they should be removed. Some teams find it a valuable time to sync up as a team so they should be kept. Some teams adapt standups to add value in ways that were not originally intended.

All I see here are arguments around a one size fits all solutions. Be fluid. Observe, listen to your team, and adapt.
Being concerned about specific things where there is actual evidence is absolutely fine.

I hate that you've called this "aggression", like it's a kind of morally reprehensible violence. People like to feel puffy hair, black person or not. Ask a white person with dreds if anyone has ever felt their hair. In Japan, people like to feel my arm hair, which is blonde and almost invisible and completely foreign to East Asians. It's harmless. It's completely natural that humans are interested in the physical variety of other humans. Now, you can obviously say or do something racist or mean while touching that hair, but the act of touching hair cannot itself be deemed aggressive without knowing the context. You would have to understand the social context of black people (apparently) being tired of being touched all the time in order to know that you should avoid doing this specific thing, which makes this a "faux pas".
So perhaps a decent enough oxygen barrier, say mylar, combined with something like iron oxide to absorb any oxygen contamination, might provide a decent safety profile? Interesting to think about.

There are some known subparts of the nucleus, in particular the Nucleolus [1], and that link discuss a few additional subparts.

I'm not an expert in biology, so I don't know if this is a new part, or it's a part that we already know but in mammals is made by small areas of the big chromosomes and in this animals this areas are on their own.

Glad you handled it well. My experience with Covid was even less mild (felt like a small hangover at worst). Clearly I am not at risk for hospitalization due to Covid, however am being pressured to receive a vaccine that I do not want/need/trust.
I still do not understand how smart/intelligent people can defend, or outright vehemently advocate for, vaccine mandates given that what we know (not to mention that what we don’t). Brings to mind the following quote by Benjamin Disraeli; ‘the whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so sure of themselves, yet wiser people are full of doubt.’
>We've had the likes of HAML to simplify HTML, CoffeeScript to simplify JS, SASS to simplify CSS. These worked well as they optionally replaced a small part of the stack and took great care not to deviate too much from the underlying tech. They arguably had an acceptable cost/benefit ratio. The costs were little, as they should have been.

What's so wonderful about the web as a platform is that, over time, each of the technolgies you've mentioned were able to actually influence the evolution of the HTML, CSS, and JS specs respectively. To the point that now they are all completely obsolete. The web has come so far in the last 10 years it's insane. With a little bit of transpiling down from the latest features, you can now write pure vanilla html/css/js that would have required a dozen different libraries and frameworks back in the day. This, IMO, is what we should continue striving for.
I also don't see them as my "captors."

I'm able to live without electricity but I'm not about to call the power company and have them cut my feed. There are folks who consider it some kind of incarceration to be beholden to the electricity provided by a power company; I respect them but I don't share their philosophy.
As you can see in the other replies, there are many paths that lead to reverse engineering, but I feel like the best way to make the concepts stick is to have "reverse engineer X" be a problem standing in your way (where X is a piece of software, a protocol, etc.)
When you have that problem and you need to solve it, you have a target to throw all the "darts" those tutorials give you, and this will probably be more effective than just reading the material and hoping you'll use some of it in the future.
* Having something on your calendar that pulls you out of what you’re doing

* In order to mostly stand there and listen to irrelevant or redundant information

* So that when it’s your turn you can say something that the listeners don’t care about, that could have been a Slack message

The first point can be slightly mitigated by placing the standup directly before or after lunch or another meeting, or at the beginning of the workday, so at least you were already going to have to put down your task.
OOP might have helped popularize usage of the dot notation, but namespaces are a different thing.

Zig has no inheritance but everything is namespaced, including declaring functions inside struct definitions so that you can use them as if they were methods.

> I know now I do have an inner critic. It just speaks in my body with emotions like guilt and gut wrenching shame.

This is not exact science, I would say. It is good to have a basic understanding of plenitude of voices, some of them being delicate and fragile, some aggressive and dominating in nature and try to make ever better distinctions (which is which? which part of my behavior is which voice?). It is not that there is only me and my Inner Critic inside me. It is most likely that shame you're feeling after performance comes from a delicate self, which can be called your Vulnerable Child, rather than from your Inner Critic. Lots of sadness, anxiety, shame, retraction comes from such child-like selves (developed during your childhood and still existing functionally in the repertoire of your CNS). These emotions coming from this child like energy are very often accompanied by internalized aggressive energies critical of ourselves. The picture is nuanced, with many parts inside us, interacting with each other.

Accessing this Inner Child energy directly in conversation (sometimes with less words, more like evoking it and just being with it, especially at the beginning) is a profound experience with far reaching consequences (including, once you see it a separate entity inside you, possibility of taking care of this Inner Child by yourself, inside yourself - you just start to take care of this child, which is in fact you... taking care of... you.) It sounds ridiculous, but it is very real.
You might say that a regular electric heater is 100% efficient, converting every unit of electricity into exactly one unit of equivalent heat.

Crypto mining hardware is >100% efficient, as it's exactly as efficient as an electric heater, but also generates revenue. Over time, others make more efficient crypto mining hardware, reducing the yield from yours. This causes your "efficiency" to gradually reduce down to 100%, but no lower.

However, nowadays we have heat pumps, which are also more efficient than our 100% benchmark, and produce additional useful heat.
Of course not, and that is taking the distinction the wrong direction anyway, lol
I specifically quoted the part I disagreed with: “I’ve done my part”.
We transitioned to Slack standups a few years ago and never looked back. I put together a daily standup channel with a custom form containing two questions:

What are you working on today?

What are your blockers?

Any conversation which needs to happen is managed in threads. It's a win for everyone: No more mid-day interruptions, a good well-documented log of work, and the timing is flexible (submit by 12pm EST).
As an ex-biologist, this is the best analogy.

mRNA is "messaging" RNA. It sends the message to the protein factory to make more of a protein structure defined by the DNA, just like a print job sends the message to the printer.
The cost-benefit isn't there for me.

It's bad when your management are considered part of your team and they challenge every sentence of your update:

"can we expect that done by stand up tomorrow?"

"will that be a problem?"

Certainly not, industrial use subsidises the residential. And businesses have to pay for their grid connection to the premises.

Once we finally got buy-in from management, we switched our (3/week) standup from "justify why we pay you and mention everything you did" to "only mention blockers or items you think the rest of the team needs to know". Standups went from 45 minutes (!!) to <15, and the things we mention are actually relevant to at least a couple people.

It's good that your team is empowered to tailor its rituals to its needs. It seems that a lot of people forget that the Agile manifesto[1] is loose enough to allow for team-specific customization: "Individuals and interactions over processes and tools".

Matches my experience with standups: let’s all go around the room and think of something to say and then one or two people have a long drawn out conversation with the manager.

What seems pretty universal is the amount of information i share nobody cares about and the amount of information other people share that i don’t care about are both quite high.

It serves as an opportunity to be bored and frustrated for a half hour each day and does a rather good job of interrupting my daily flow.

I think a key to a needed standup is a small group of people actually working collaboratively on something whereby the shared information is actually good to know.

I am though a fan of short meetings of any topic where you literally are standing for the meeting, it seems to change the quality.
