Yes, they do.

A few developers have taken advantage of the stand-ups to avoid updating tickets with information as it comes up and just wait until the stand-up.
Right, as data literals my program is going to use they're great, I fell in love with Python a long time ago in part because of its convenient data syntax. Clojure's values-are-values philosophy is also amazing. How much value are they though as core syntax forms? Take keyword parameters for instance. In Clojure you pass to defn something like [a & {:keys [x y]}]. In Common Lisp, that would be (a &key x y). If you want to add default values, in Clojure you'd change to [a & {:keys [x y] :or {x 1, y 2}}]. In Common Lisp, that would be (a &key (x 1) (y 2)). They're both data structures, they both require interpretation by the human and the defn/defun implementation, they're both not eagerly evaluated like other uses of data literals would be (neither the sequences nor the symbols need to be quoted). Apart from Clojure strangely bucking tradition with everything by making the top structure a vector instead of a list, and a quibble of repeating yourself for default mapping, I don't really think one is definitively better than the other, but that also means I don't think Clojure improved on anything with that choice.
Borgmon and Borg are different things, but yes, before the latter, machines were owned by teams. Brian Grant talks a bit about the predecessors, Babysitter and GWQ: https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2018/04/27/google-clust...

Borg was started in 2003 and by 2006-2007 was already the default way to run things, even though isolation wasn't perfect then. I think it started with chroot jails, then fake NUMA, then cgroups, which were written for it. It took years before all of web search moved to dedicated Borg machines (their quota belonged to you and nobody else could run on them) and, eventually, shared ones.

I’m not sure which part of my comment you’re replying to, I think we’re in total agreement.
> In a collision, gas released goes up and out of trouble

Except for the cases when there's an open flame nearby or sufficient heat, as is the case in a non-insignificant number of collisions. What if a hydrogen engine collides with a standard petrol engine? Or if the gas becomes exposed to hot surfaces during the oxygen mixing? The gas expansion is also a major cause of explosion. You essentially pull oxygen into the fuel, and rapid fuel-air mixing is a known cause of detonation.
Great, so they can be ignored too? Will the nations most likely to break those rules be members of the space war rules council? That's worked so great for the UN's Human Rights council.
I'm quite amazed how resilient games are to this. Like how SMB1 for the NES is capable of things like the minus worlds where you're more or less playing levels that don't exist because the game doesn't expect you to be reading memory past a certain point, but as long as the values are valid, it can still use it to some degree.

There's more extreme situations like Super Mario Land 2 for the Game boy where it's possible for the game to present it's own memory on the screen and if you understand how it works you can do things like ask the game to execute the ending sequence [0]. At it's most extreme a series of TASes was presented in 2017 wherein multiple different hardware systems were linked together via RCEs in different games to make a VOIP streaming setup from a bunch of consoles that don't actually have internet connections [1].

I'm sure there's all kinds of reasons this kind of UB is undesirable, and could be hazardous in some environments, but people have also done some really cool stuff with it!

Check out bio electrical regeneration research

If you haven’t come across it, the teams inject drugs that do nothing to cells but instigate an electrical field effect. What happens is regrowth of a limb to the correct “spec” even though that physical information is gone (limb amputated).

This suggests to me an equalizing effect exists, where fields and matter feed each other just enough to reach structural equilibrium.

Relativistic information network effects, proving what math objects create which field effects, and the social impacts, are going to become huge and blow away our current engineering goals of making hard silicon computers.

We might be able to use nature itself as our CPU.
> We may end up with mandates for boosters every six months. Unfortunately this will increase the side effects from vaccination: it would have been nice to pay that cost only once every several years instead of every 6 months.

Doesn't this assume that we won't make any improvements to the COVID vaccine? A year ago we didn't have any approved vaccines. It seems reasonable to assume that we could improve vaccines over time that may increase efficacy or duration of prevention.
This seems like a step backwards, it's procedural rather than declarative, very wordy, seems like it has all of the disadvantages of CSS and none of the advantages of anything else
Tools more than anything, stuff breaks and needs repairs and the form factor of those tools have generally remained the same for a long while with all the bolts and bits..etc
That was certainly the case for the original strain, and shortly after the vaccine. What you see today is how the vaccine interacts with newer strains compounded with the effects of time. It’s not rewriting history at all, in fact you can still access all of the original information, it’s just out of date. As it turns out, most people don’t commit the level of critical thought required to process this.

The only way that we would not be dealing with COVID today is if it was taken seriously early on. China seriously dropped the ball. I don’t believe that the resulting quarantines and lockdowns in other nations (which were for the most part necessary to reduce death tolls pre-vaccine) could have gone any better than they did, as people simply do not care.
Lots of choices in the this space...

- this tool (apache traffic server)
- regular apache can proxy/cache/route
- nginx
- traefik
- haproxy
- envoy
- kong
- ...more

Then it also somewhat intersects with less directly related things in other spaces, like squid, varnish, istio, and so on.

Is there some document somewhere that goes over the choices, overlaps, etc?
Isn't this what all these funky agile ticket management systems are for? So that both the managers and ICs can look at the board and know, asynchronously, what's going on?
I struggle to understand why people hate daily this hard

What so bad about having to tell what you've been doing yesterday? one up to few sentences per person, 10-15min max?
I agree with your first paragraph. I don't eat with other people often but if a shop asked me not to talk when being with someone else I would just go elsewhere. Also I suspect the writer of the article put lot of efforts searching for such a shop because the only place I ever saw with the mokushoku policy is one of the university cafeteria and people (including me) don't follow it anyway. There is also a lot of plastic, which is useless but in line of the Japanese mentality of doing things for the sake of doing them instead of the impact it has on the output.
Let's say I'm writing a trivial proxy which simply forwards data unchanged between two sockets. This is my pseudocode:

while true:
x = read s1
write s2, x
y = read s2
write s1, y

This can deadlock. If for example s1 stops sending data, read(s1) blocks, so the proxy won't forward any data from s2 back to s1, potentially leading to a full pipeline deadlock.

Now, the above can be expressed in purely non blocking fashion as follow :

letrec f = async_read s1, \x ->
async_write s2, x \->
async_read s2, \y ->
async_write s1, y, f

It still deadlocks exactly as the previous program.

I'm not going to learn pony for the sake of an example, but I'm 97.5% sure you can express the above in Pony, except you do not pass the continuation directly to read and writes but to the returned promise. Sure, the pony runtime will still work and technically the actor could potentially handle other messages, but that's not very useful for the end user that has to deal with a deadlocked pipeline.

So claiming that pony is deadlock-free might be true in a trivial sense, but in practice it is at the very least misleading and potentially dangerous.

edit: it is of course possible to write the program in such a way that it doesn't deadlock, the point is that if pony was truly deadlock free it would reject all programs that can deadlock.

edit2: and of course, if one were to show that the above program is in fact not expressible in pony, it would be a great result and I would want to know about!

The huddle is play selection, not design. It's also often dictated by the coach. TBH, I wonder what point a huddle serves in modern football anyway. Just how much control to the players on the field have, anyway?

I sincerely hope that is a typo/second language error and not how you're describing/thinking about people.
I assume it started as a kindness to 80 character wide terminals a lot of people use to browse HN since it was an easy way to pick a limit, the same way Twitter's original limit was the length of an SMS and stayed that way long after apps became the main way to interact.

Let's make it 140.
It's not so much that I found things explicitly better, but that the descriptions piqued my interested and I just wanted to experience them for myself. Specifically, trackpad gestures combined with horizontal workspaces. (In practice, I usually have a keyboard and mouse so I don't use the trackpad much, although the horizontal workspaces feel slightly more natural.)

Things feeling off are hard to describe, but a concrete one is the software centre being pretty buggy and Snaps causing there to be many duplicate entries (and also Snaps being dependent on a single, closed-source Canonical server by definition).

But yes, I think Pipewire sealed the deal for me, at least in terms of giving Fedora a try once. I'm not sure why anymore, but I think it had something to do with being able to do screen sharing in Wayland?

In either case, it was mostly curiosity, and the differences really aren't that big. But it worked just fine right away, with nothing much to get used to, so I just stuck with it. Curious to see how the upgrade to v35 will go though.
The OP did not say they could not, or should not be allowed to prevent patrons from talking, only that they personally would choose not to eat there

To many people believe "freedom" means "people need to do, and accept what I want"... That is not freedom

the business is free to say "no talking" and I am free to say "no shopping there"....

That is the market at work. The problem is when government attempts to impose requirements on either the business or the customer.

Let the market work, we do not need government mandating in either direction
Ask HN: Is the ISO 27001 certification worth it?
ISO 27001 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_27001) certifies that information security is properly managed at a company or organisation. But the process of obtaining it is costly and time-consuming so I wanted to ask people who have experience with it: is it worth it?

If you're a company doing B2B sales, how often do prospective customers ask about the certificate? Does it ever make or break a deal? When did you decide that it's time to get it done?

Thanks!
What are the steps to agile?

If you read the agile manifesto, there are no specifically prescribed steps or rituals, and in my experience, most teams implementation of scrum is entirely counterproductive to actually being agile. The core tenet of being agile is essentially people over process, and things like daily stand-ups, extremely formulaic retrospectives and backlog grooming meetings do nothing to empower the people and allow them to be truly agile.
No, it's VRChat
I read years ago about a 'trust meter' or a something similar (sorry I've forgotten the exact name for it).
The basic idea is that all relationships (business, personal etc) starts at zero and depending on the things they do or say either destroys people (-1) trust or build people trust (+1).

If you've done something negative, acknowledge it to yourself and any anyone else that was impacted by it and move forward from it. Knowing your flaws, acknowledging them and working around them is an important thing to do.
'Water under the bridge' and all of that...
Sounds like the relevant devs you mention just need to shoot the other a heads-up.

The first 25 years of my career as a programmer we never had daily stand-ups, had never heard of them. We shipped.

Something about all the "process" that has crept into the job over the last decade or so has really turned me off.
I kinda forgot the Traffic Server existed. I remember we looked at it 10 years ago for a project, but just went with nginx instead. I don't think we ever really saw the point in Traffic Server, and I still don't. That might just be because it solves a set of problems I don't deal with.
>Why wait for a single point of day to bring up any issues or share information?

Nobody does this, they do it immediately, at least all the places I've worked. I need help, first I try to figure it out myself, then when I'm stuck or want to make sure I'm doing it right, I ask the owner of the code I'm working with. This makes standups not only redundant (information has already been shared) but distracting.

>But, I do see the point of a daily sync up for team building, especially for remote teams.

I've found it to be a morale killer more so than a morale booster. Fuck I gotta stop what I'm doing for this stupid standup, or I'm not gonna do anything because the standup is in 45 minutes; I'll just get distracted.

I was once at a place where you actually stood up and the standups were 45 friggin minutes long. Total waste of time and I was so demoralized after it took me 30 minutes just to decompress and get stuff done.

They would be slightly better if done on M-F-W or even more so on T-TH. Once a week meetings for about 30 minutes with biz then 30 minutes with dev works great for our team.

This is all well-and-good, but how do we read all that data in 500 years time, or even 20 years time?

People were busily archiving data to CDs and DVDs two decades ago, thinking 'yeah this digital storage media will last for centuries!'... Loads of bit-rot combined with complete lack of DVD drives still in common [computer] usage, has totally shown that the more complex the storage media the shorter it's useful lifetime is. Compare this to books, which can still be read a millennium later.
I had a terrible experience with DHL, we used them for US domestic small parcel shipments before the business unit was shut down for losing money, around 2008 I think. Towards the end they started systematic over charging. They would rate an 8oz package as 20lbs. The bills were 5-10x what they should have been. The service was never very good, they just had a good sales team. I hesitate to generalize from specifics though, it doesn't represent how all German companies do business. Maybe we should care less about national identity and more about the company's reputation.
Is that as safe or as fuel-efficient as a modern vehicle?
> It’s for ICs to also communicate their needs, obstacles, concerns, or even just give everyone a heads up that a certain task is more difficult than expected.

If the only time ICs communicate any of that stuff is at a set time each morning, then something is already seriously wrong.

They'd be shadow IT at a larger company, but it's not as frowned upon at smaller companies. They're generally more concerned with getting shit done than doing it "the right way".

It's at a price point most people at a startup can put it on their corporate card without question. But yes, it's tough to get a fortune 500 to go for something like this.
kind of what I started with https://github.com/dorianmariefr/template

hashes can written as `id: 1, name: "Dorian"`

js-deconstruction like `{ id, name }` and `{ id, name } = user`

comments in hashes like json5, e.g.

id: 1 # first user
name: Dorian # me

ruby "everything is an object" without the $ perlisms

typescript style types, e.g. optionals, mostly deduced

interpreter and compile to binary options for fast iteration and fast production code

compatibility with web assembly

compiles to javascript

all the meta-programming of ruby like define_method, method_missing etc.

autoload like what rails does

a prettier-style formatter

and mostly ruby for the rest

and a sane dependency manager like rubygems/bundler
I find it's the opposite. Are Cheap hires, 10x devs that think the rules don't appply, bad managers, the work shy etc hurting your stand-ups?
General regulation for the tech industry and blocking M&A activity from large companies are completely different things. I think it is very fair to assume that the US will block large acquisitions by Facebook, Google, and Amazon going forward.
> At any given time there are at least 6 tracks running in my head, sometimes twice that many, thinking about all kinds of different things at varying levels of depth.

This sounds interesting. Can these tracks all proceed fine in parallel, can you collect and write down the simultaneous lines of thought afterwards if you wish? I feel like I have just one execution pipeline, which I consider to be my conscious self. Bit similar to how I literally can't talk and watch a movie at the same time (even though that is about I/O I suppose), one action takes the whole processing capability.
The difference is that in a football game you don't have time to talk to each other during the game. In a software team you do have plenty of time and opportunities to talk as soon as a blocker or issue appears, and everyone can see who is assigned to what tasks, who submitted what changes and read updates about blockers in the project management tooling the instant those events happens.

In other words, if you have plenty to talk about in your stand-ups then you are doing something wrong. Which is the point of Scrum, this fixes communication issues, but your team really shouldn't need this.
Thanks, that's also my experience. Besides, it will never hurt to try something new.
This quote doesn't say anything about whether the vaccine reduces transmission of the virus. Even large phase-3 studies like the ones done for the COVID vaccines don't have anywhere near the statistical power to determine this. Now we have epidemiological data that shows a clear reduction in transmission, but not as much as the vaccines protect against serious disease.

Here is another quote from the same paper [1]:
"This report includes 2 months of follow-up after the second dose of vaccine for half the trial participants and up to 14 weeks’ maximum follow-up for a smaller subset. Therefore, both the occurrence of adverse events more than 2 to 3.5 months after the second dose and more comprehensive information on the duration of protection remain to be determined."

There's no theory presented here, just a list of things that happened according to the Special Counsel and Congress. There's no mystery about what went on, and yeah, it's also clear that no one cares. Because that's the world we live in now, and I'm okay with that. But let's just be clear about where we are right now: a campaign for President coordinated with a foreign power as that power was hacking the campaign's opponent in the election, and they lied about it to everyone. That's okay behavior now, because as you said, the FBI did nothing. The Attorney General read the report I linked to and concluded the behavior was perfectly normal. But that doesn't make the charges of Russian collusion a "lie", as some have spun the results of those investigations. If Trump's campaign handing internal campaign data to Russian intelligence officers isn't collusion, the word has lost all meaning.

I mean, this isn't even the product of some partisan hit job on Trump. This is the result of two Republican-led investigations. One, led by a fmr Republican FBI director appointed by a Republican deputy AG, who in turn was appointed by Trump himself; the other written by the Republican majority and chaired Senate Intel committee. It's really easy to dismiss this as a "conspiracy theory" or "witch hunt" as the then President tried very hard to call it, but Republicans and Democrats both agree on the facts in these reports. They are not lies. They are not conspiracy theories. And yes, they are also a nothing-burger, because the behavior is now normalized. That's how presidential campaigns will be run from here on out basically thanks to this whole issue, and no one should be surprised when Democrats do it.
It actually would to some extent in a country with capable infrastructure. But I don’t believe Kazakhstan has that luxury.
