I really can't emphasize this enough. I work with a small team (2 other devs) and our morning standup happens 3x per week. We're remote and we're building Open Source tech[0].

We do it similarly to how you describe here -- we have a short intro (5 mins) before diving into each of us presenting. Each of us presenting may take 2 mins or take 30 mins. If one of us is struggling or blocked, we use this time to collaborate + pair program/debug.

Eventually, we get through everything and then go about our day. Sometimes (because I am the "lead"), I'll use the opportunity to ask questions about roadmap or other items that I need their input on. They're already distracted and not "in the zone", so chaining on the additional "meeting" works quite well.

Because of this, these are our only meetings every week. We get a bit of "water cooler" chatting in, we are able to unblock each other, and we are able to have a short iteration loop for re-prioritizing our work. (New tasks can be delegated by quickly going through the backlog)

The pandemic has really changed work, and I really feel like we're still iterating on what the best dynamics are for teams to be productive. Thanks for the insight into your team dynamic!

There are multiple protocols for the prep. Check with your doctor for an alternative and mention the passing-out bit.
The events in question started in ~1980, so he was likely fine at the time. But not able to talk about them coherently a ~decade later. From memory (which could be failing) he didn't try any politician-esque evasion of questions or make excuses or even outright lie. He merely repeated, "I don't recall," several times in row. Not a common strategy at that level.
> we chose “Colorways” rather than “themes” to show we are branching out from our language of “browser” to speak the language of everyday life and everyday users.

What's weird here is that they consider "branching out from our language of \"browser\"" a completely normal phrase but the word "theme" far too technical for 'everyday users'.

Though that's nowhere near as weird as the fact that they think "Colourways" is a normal word, that'll disqualify anyone who has English as their second or third language for a start, but maybe it's more commonly known amongst native speakers?
He's just wrong - in cities that have more building (Austin TX for example) the housing is more affordable.

That doesn't mean 'cheap' if demand is also increasing, but it does cause prices to be lower relative to cities that restrict supply. This is just basic economics, people twist themselves in knots to come up with reasons why the obvious supply/demand is somehow not applicable in this case.

If you allow building in capitalist markets then increased supply will reduces prices as demand is met.
It does seems to me that the half-billion dollars they get per year from Google is to make sure that Chrome has no competition whatsoever.
It's way more jargony than "theme", which has been used for color themes since at least win 3.1 and is fairly well-known in that sense among the general population.

Meanwhile, I'd never heard of "color ways" until like 3 years ago, and I'd still not have if I didn't pay (too much) attention to tech and industry news.

[EDIT] Oh my god, it's even worse, I read other posts on this thread and just realized that I got it from getting very slightly into shoes, not even from tech news. LOL. Yeah, this is a terrible name.
My history professor also made passing mention to Carter's loss largely being due to the Iran hostage crisis, which "magically" resolved when Reagan was inaugurated.
But that simply isn’t true for many types of cancer if you catch early.
Count me among those who has more sympathy than anything else for recruiters. Finding a job is hard. There’s so much uncertainty and fraught communication and rejection for reasons out of your control. What if finding jobs was your job? (That being said, the recruiters I’ve dealt with have been very professional and helpful, so I don’t mean to imply they are to be pitied, just that the realities of it are just as unpleasant as the realities of being a job seeker)
First of all management systems and ISO is a way of working, a method or a framework. Just like scrum and agile are methods for project management within a team, management systems within the context of ISO is a method or framework set up by the management to lead the company. If you don't believe in ISO as a method, then you should not do it. Simple as that.

Personally however I think that ISO and management systems solves a lot of the problems that most companies deals with, and it gives a structured way of setting goals and reaching them.

Secondly the certification is not the most important part. The certification proves that your management system works and that you are reaching your goals, but if your goals are shit then the certification rather proves that you are a shity company. In other words the certification in itself is not a quality badge.

If you have or are aiming for large enterprise customers, ISO 27001 is basically a requirement. You'll probably also need ISO 27017, ISO 27018, ISO 27701, SOC 2, SOC 3, APEC and maybe more, all depending on which stage your company is at.
OP made accusations, response was leveled and asked for positivity.

You are blaming ISIS' lack of uniforms for the drone strike on this man and his nine family members?

Already made. It’s automatically matched to other databases like apartment records and other public information. Signature electronic radiation leak is easily traceable, probably logged unless you never connect it to any other devices. The delusion you have about being private while having a device that tracks your location has no logic or evidence of privacy. Expecting cell phones using cellular towers for privacy is the equivalent of joining a botnet and saying you’re private if you block the signal occasionally.
Can anyone explain what the uses are for this ?

The limitations appear to be:

* Cannot be published as a channel. Public channels are still Brightscript-only so there is no code re-use.

* Requires a Linux workstation to build

* Cannot deploy to Roku TVs

I'm assuming it's that you can get a kidney transplant from a family member who is lying in the OR next to you. Deceased donors are transported from wherever they died.

> The whole idea of it being "respect" is just bogus.

It’s worse than that. The insistence that 8 am or 9 am indicates a “respect” for the team is in fact disrespect for the team.

It says we don’t give a shit about why it’s hard for you to be here at 7:45 or 8:45 (because doing a standup cold is bad too), do it anyway.

It’s a show of power. And a petty one at that.
> Clinton for example, left at the peak of the DotCom bubble, and was bouyed by capital gains tax revenue, whereas Bush left during the Great Recession.

Deficit increases under these presidents isn't as much on the business cycle as you indicate. For example, Clinton enjoyed higher capital gains tax revenue, but he also signed legislation to increase taxes (which obviously impact the deficit). Conversely, Bush chose not to include substantial additional revenue in his recession-era emergency spending plans. Both were policy choices that entirely support the OP's point.

In fact, although Trump and Biden were not included in the list, they are following the same schema. Trump cut tax revenue and then didn't offset massive deficit spending on his way out the door. Biden's signature economic plan is stalled in part because he is making efforts at offsetting spending with increased revenue.
The Tony Kuphaldt course is good, and The Art of Electronics would suit you. You could do a top-down approach, from the "electronics" at the component level, to semiconductors, to dye design. If you have a background in Physics, then you'll breeze through semiconductor and solid-state physics.

It depends what you want to do, but the standard way we went through was chemistry and physics, then some more atomic/nuclear physics and mineral and organic chemistry, then solid state, then circuits, control theory, measure theory, etc.

You can look into MIT's EE curriculum on opencourseware, but it's a bit too light.

> Empower decentralized decision making. Back it up with centralized control.

This has nothing to do with standups. Decisions aren't even particularly made in standups, other than "how do we solve today's problems".

I keep reading apparently revolutionary next gen agile articles that are full of non sequiturs such as this.
> congested intersections where you'd probably need to wait 3 hours to pass through legally

I cannot imagine how self driving cars will (in the future...) deal with entering the Lincoln/Holland/etc. tunnel. I genuinely don't think you can enter these tunnels even during moderate traffic without breaking at least a few laws.
The GP is talking about something interactive like a web app, where a seek time likely would matter. This isn’t intended to be used as such.
If they can make self-driving cars practical, it seems likely the technology would be transferable to buses.

And that could reduce costs of and/or increase access to public transit. (Which could be done once the technology is proven, regardless of whether Waymo is interested in participating.)

So even to someone who wants to purge Manhattan of cars, it still seems like it would be interesting.
> hire people that actually care

One thing to note is that hiring skilled IT workers is often outside budget capabilities. It’s not that they want to hire someone incompetent, they simply can’t afford to hire someone competent.
Indeed I agree, it seems even that for some use cases training data is not anymore the bottleneck but robust test suites are. Interesting times, let’s hope we will find a responsible way to use these powerful technologies.
Are you in love with your ex- boss?
Absolutely this.

Each potential client has a unique generally quite substantial list of security/tech questions in several spreadsheets. You answer each one as well as possible, and give details. This is definitely not an intern gig: at my fintech startup we had the CEO or Dir Eng or myself (DevOps) do it. Generally all of us took turns. They're pretty onerous.

Having done the work for the ISO-27001 helped. For that cert we'd already had to think about and document a ton of security related things. Potential clients were happy to take our internal docs (written for ISO) as details to their questions. If they actually read our docs or if it was just a checkbox requirement, that's a good question :)
It's not a mass-market item so they're expensive to begin with, but I'd bet its current price is a function of the chip shortage we've been hearing about.
If you're honestly looking for the best solution to plentiful, on-demand, cheap electricity, energy storage via batteries is a much better solution. Why burn up excess energy from a wind farm, rather than storing it to be reused during peak periods?
I never said the US was an antisemitic country? Both that and 'the US unconditionally supports Israel' are myths. The US position is occasionally cynical but consistent and unemotional.

Anyway, the US policy at the time was determined by the State Department which was very anti-Israel for various reasons. Truman overrode them for the US vote, but was too busy with other affairs to set policy afterwards.

Funny thing is, I know enough shoe nerds to parse the phrase "on an older shoe line drop," but this is still the first time I've seen the word.

National ID systems are a core component of effectively delivering services to citizens as well as keeping track of governmenty things (taxes, work authorization, residency, etc). Roughly 100 countries (a majority out of 195) have compulsory ID systems [1]. In the US, your social security number is effectively your national ID due to unfortunate function creep (which will hopefully be fixed one day when there is more sanity than those who argue a national ID is the “mark of the beast” or similar nonsense).

Concern about data governance and oversight are extremely valid critiques, arguing against such systems in a country’s journey from developing to developed less so. And if someone is offering hundreds of millions of dollars in loans to build developed world infrastructure, depending on terms and conditions, you might strongly consider accepting it.

First: the rule with these kinds of certifications is simple: don't do them until you have customer deals contingent on them. You should be able to weigh the costs of certification against hard, certain revenue. Depending on your customer base, you may get pushed into certification soon, or you might be able to push it off surprisingly far. If you can do that, you should.

Second: in North America, SOC2 is much more common than ISO 27001. 27001 is more common with gigantic companies than with startups. By way of example: Datadog just announced its 27001 last year, a few months after they went public. That they were able to scale their business to that point without 27001 certification --- and look closely at what Datadog's business is, and who their customers are! --- should tell you something about which certification you're likely to want first.

So for the rest of this comment I'm going to assume your company has no certification, and that you can get away with SOC2.

Third: while you will run into NA customers that want SOC2, there's a loose norm of purchases contingent on achieving a Type 1. That is to say: you can probably plan on deferring SOC2 until you have a contingent P.O. in hand, and do it then without losing that deal. You know your customers better than I do, but I spent a bunch of years doing this work for startups and don't think I ever told anyone to SOC2 preemptively.

Fourth: a real risk with rushing certification is that it can warp your security engineering and business processes. SOC2 is particularly amorphous, and SOC2 auditors are a weird bunch (people with strong opinions about which security tools you should be running that don't know the difference between an IP address and a domain name are people whose influence on your IT and engineering you should limit). You want a security team in place before you start chugging away at SOC2, so that your security team can be the primary influence on what engineering you do to support SOC2 (a competent security team will win any shootout with any major-label auditor).

Fifth: For most companies, you'll be 25-35 engineers before you contemplate a full-time security person, which gives you an idea of the normal lifecycle point at which you might start seriously consider certifying.

I wrote a blog post for my last company about some things to know about SOC2 and early-stage companies:

Carter caused inflation in the 70s? How did that narrative get started given that his predecessor was the one handing out "WIP" (Whip Inflation Now) buttons?
Here's some stats from a Los Angeles area project.

http://boardarchives.metro.net/BoardBox/BB2015/2015_05_May/1...

Have a look around page 18. Time with congestion was reduced by about 2 hours daily from before the project to after the project. There's also several charts of trip times in there, although some of them are comparing different times of the year which is less apples to apples IMHO. If exhibit 4-133 from the report after the slides is a good comparison, the congestion was effectively eliminated; however the before is during construction, and it's a single day, so that's a bit hard to take at face value; I'm guessing they didn't have any/enough saturday data from the 2009 before construction data set to compare with.
>This is why OP mentioned that _your_ daily ritual is hurting them, because you are _forcing_ them to adhere to what works for you at _their_ expense.

Technically true, but it's not like the "ritual" is some weird obscure requirement. Showing up on time is pretty much a default requirement of society. At least they're in a field where being slightly late results in embarrassment instead of firing.
It’s gatekeeping, when you get right down to it.
So basically another data harvesting from Google. They want ID scans for YT, mobile phone to login... What else? Selfie for gmail?

Fortunately I do not use anything from google over 2 years, so it is not problem for me, but I cannot imagine frustrations for everyone, that needs their data from google and they are systematically forced to share more and more personal data with them.
Paul Sabin has written recently[0] about Carter's passion for deregulation, and how he balanced it with other legislative goals. The idea that people were "choked by regulation" was not exclusive to the right.

I'm totally in favor for more positivity. It is very easy to criticize something when you don't know what is happening on the other side. HN is a place for Hackers to discuss facts and not to imply what they think others think. If two comparisons differ, there might be several reasons as lack of trials on both sides or lack of a common ground for comparison but a lot here are doing their best to make lives of developers easier.
That's a bit reductive.
Mozilla hates their core users. They think that things like this will attract "trendie" and "diverse" users, which is a futile endeavor. "Trendie" people are always jumping from trend to trend, so even if they switch, they will just switch away when the new trend comes along. "Diverse" people use what ever panders to their race or sexuality the most, and Google panders to them far more than Mozilla ever could.

Maybe when Mozilla finally kicks the bucket in a few years, someone will start something else that isn't just a Chrome fork.
So it started as “let me reinvent the C” with ugly syntax? Little fns in ziggys little async; dots everywhere; try expects everywhere; too much punctuation. All the esoteric punctuation after loop constructs.
I made the mistake of installing Google Search on my iPhone and logging in.

It automatically changed all my email two-factor auth to use the application instead of a SMS.

The only issue - I uninstalled the app pretty quickly.

I can’t prove this. I swear the UX changed even each time I would go to the settings and it knew I was looking to change that setting. Eventually I was able to switch back.

I’m glad they are doing this, but I hate that they automatically lump me in and decide things for me. Yes, I want the risk of SMS two factor auth. Yes, I want to setup manually everything.

At least with this feature Mozilla told us how long it'll be before they remove it.
I'm sold on the audio quality. I'm not an audio enthusiast, but it sounded incredibly clean. I would definitely pay $100 for a prebuilt version.
My experience doing this for several large companies at a time is that the questionnaires don't really go away with certification. There are probably some shops where audit reports will substitute for the Excel spreadsheet Q&A's, but there are plenty of others where the Q&A is a dealbreaker part of procurements no matter what.

If you're in a line of business where your customers have questionnaires, just plan on having someone whose job is to fill these things out.
Yes and I'm surprised by how many non programmers fail to understand this.
Firefox used to have tab groups but they removed it: https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/discontinuation-of-tab-group...

I'm a skeptic too, but I might not be the intended user for the GA formalism. Please explain your reasons.

My skepticism of the supposedly superior pedagogy of Geometric Algebra is the following:

- 3D vector algebra with the cross product operation and the dot product operation is fairly easy and intuitive. Its replacement by GA might not be so easy. So maybe GA should be introduced after the vector formalism.

- An arbitrary element of a Geometric Algebra might not have a geometric meaning. For instance, some elements of a GA are vectors, while some are scalars, but there are also these exotic mixed quantities which are scalars plus vectors. This is pretty hard for me to understand intuitively.

- An arbitrary matrix has a geometric meaning. It's essentially just a linear transformation. By contrast, I don't feel that an arbitrary element of a geometric algebra has a geometric meaning.

- Consider those elements of a Geometric Algebra which represent rotations -- they are called rotors. Observe that if "z" is a rotor then the element "-z" is also a rotor which stands for the same rotation as "z". So there is more to a rotor than whatever rotation it describes. This seems very unintuitive and advanced. (I know that this behaviour has applications for the study of spin-1/2 particles in quantum physics).

I also have trouble understanding where the rule for multiplying two elements of a geometric algebra comes from. It's an operation, introduced from seemingly nowhere, which happens to have some applications in some areas. But I'm not comfortable with a multiplication rule being introduced out of nowhere without being derived out of something. The claim that it has a consistent geometric meaning from which it can be derived is never justified. My criticisms are therefore largely pedagogical.
