It would take some intensive lobbying:

> And separately, we took our case to the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), part of the US Treasury Department, and began a lengthy and intensive process of advocating for broad and open access to GitHub in sanctioned countries. Over the course of two years, we were able to demonstrate how developer use of GitHub advances human progress, international communication, and the enduring US foreign policy of promoting free speech and the free flow of information. We are grateful to OFAC for the engagement which has led to this great result for developers.
I just purchased software for our company and they had both ISO 27001 and SOC 2 which made it way easier to deal with our security and governance team. They like to see those certifications. It would be possible without, but the scrutiny would be much higher.
> Is someone better off making $12 an hour or $0 an hour?

I like how this gun-to-your-head reasoning only applies to workers and not companies.

Are businesses better off staying closed indefinitely to avoid paying more than $12/hr? If your answer to that is “Yes”, then the “shortage” is among the demand for labor.

The line of reasoning that corporations are simultaneously both hurting from staying closed and they don’t need workers that much doesn’t seem logical.
Not being able to sell to US firms/agencies will greatly reduce their potential revenue. Less money coming in means less money to spend on the black market for exploits, which means less incentive for security researches to sell to NSO.

That doesn't seem to be what most Linux distributions were thinking around 10 years ago when the upstart/systemd/openrc/etc arguments started happening. The general consensus seemed to be that sysvinit needed to be replaced, or at the very least it needed to have a ton of other scaffolding on top of it in order to make it keep working.

Sysvinit never got stuck in those cases because it never had service dependencies and thus never needed to have a constraint solver for the dependency graph... So could you honestly say that pain point was better?
> "...three-finger drag aspect, though. That is the only way I drag windows..."

i drag via single-finger force-click on the title bar. it's even easier (to me) than 3-finger drag (requires slightly less finger coordination). i use this all the time to drag windows to different spaces via the ctrl-<number> keyboard shortcut, which you can do with the other hand.
What problem is this solving? NYC doesn't have a problem with people either not being able to drive or not knowing where they're going. We have workable (for an American definition of workable) mass transit and several livery services including taxis and Uber.

We're trying to get rid of cars here. Congestion pricing, the widening of pedestrian and biking thoroughfares, just to name two initiatives. We don't need more cars, regardless whether or not they're being human-driven or not.

> Also, no daily meetings (unless culture has changed since I was inside a while back).

I can confirm that the big management consulting firms are selling modified "agile" processes to the MIC and the US military itself. I suspect that means they're selling them to most large orgs with that sort of culture.

I don't know whether they're complete bullshit and don't actually mean much as far as how things actually operate—hopefully that's the case. If it's actually changing anything and not just shuffling around some names for processes, I assume it's making things worse.
Firstly yes, they are already suggesting it a correlation -- people who get transplants get given certain drugs which (might) stop you getting dementia.

Secondly, even if the corrolation is caused by another effect, whatever it is it's a REALLY strong corrolation, so we should find out what it is!
If it's "for the public health" to mandate a vaccine to age groups for a disease that presents essentially no threat to those people, then we have already crossed a terrible line.

In absolute terms, sure. In relative terms, it's nothing. Removing BTC energy consumption from the equation barely affects the result. In order to actually do something about climate change, humanity needs to tackle that big 80-90% chunk of energy consumption coming from much more problematic industries. Cryptocurrency is a nuisance by comparison, a minor problem.
Even so-called good health insurance can often have massive gaps. I'm exceptionally fortunate in that I make enough money to just pay out of pocket, if I was poor or even just working class I wouldn't be able to say drop $100 or so on an Uber ride to and out of the way doctor. I'd be skipping medicine when I can't make my co-pays, which for my extremely treatable conditions would make things much much worse.

If I had one wish it would be to decouple healthcare from employment. No one should have a nightmare scenario where they get fired on Wednesday and next week can't afford their wife's heart medicine.

What's your plan for when your dongle is lost/stolen/destroyed? Many U2F devices cannot be backed up and they recommend that you register with 2 separate devices. But while that is possible, it certainly doesn't scale and really is useless advice for the general case.
"bank switching" sounds familiar, so I'm pretty sure my memory of 64k is correct then. I can't say I understand what it means, but I remember something of that term at the time.
It's better to start early than anything, a lot of these certs are easier to get when you have nothing to audit. I've worked for 2 successful B2B fintechs, I wouldn't wait until a customer asks, I would be proactive if you have the time and money to go through it.

> it's not uncommon for elementary schoolers to bike to and from school, friends houses, even riding public transit on their own.

I did all of these things when I was in elementary school in the late 70's, and biking without a helmet no less. Hours and hours with no adult supervision, biking all over town.

I even went to an theme park with my sister, without parents when we were 9 and 11 - took multiple buses to get there about an hour from my house. We got lost on the way home and didn't know which bus to get on. Somebody helped us and we were fine.

Can you imagine the outrage nowadays if such a thing took place.

> How much focused attention one will tend to give a prolonged activity that doesn't normally involve their input, feedback, or control (on top of the fact that learning is evolutionarily not an easy thing to do) is certainly relative to the activities one would alternatively have available to them.

This is true. My thesis is that “alternatively” is relative to the context.

But we can science this! This is the kind of thing that anyone with access to people can discover the answer to; it's not even fraught with ethical hazards! You just need to be really, really, really, really boring.
Because sometimes devs might not be listening/talking to others, and just need someone to organize an offline discussion to unblock them.

I have been to a team where X would need help on something that Y has solved in the past, Y does not care to listen in the standup and volunteer to help, and i had to ping him “Hey Y you have resolved this in the past, care to help X after the standup?”

Shitty standups go bidirectional ways. Managers can make them terrible, but devs can do that as well.
yeah, the only reason that i didn't get burned like the person above my original quote is that i got lucky. i had figured out that i could have two tokens running at the same time (one token for service A in Google Authenticator, second token for service A in 1Password). But I realized when I lost all Google Authenticator tokens one time, that I was this close || to a disaster. I had only recently also set up 1pw.

The most ideal set up would be to have a universally Yubikey or something equivalent. Preferrably with a backup pre-configured second Yukibey possible in a disaster recovery bugout kit. Then have all the initial QR codes, otp secret manual otp key strings like i demonstrated above your post, account recovery keys, backup break-in codes, or whatever other flavor of two-factor recovery a service uses, all this notated in a secured password manager. The real problem i see with two factor is that the offered recovery method is so variable from service to service. it makes knowing which information you need to have on hand when you've gotten locked out is problematic.

the other thing i do is that for core cloud service providers, i print out the password manager details for the accounts. this is apple, cloud backup service, google, microsoft and a couple of hardware device passwords. it's a risk to have this printed, but the print out is in a fireproof safe with a trusted party.

i basically assume my disaster recovery plan is that i have my wallet and the clothes on my back and nothing else. everything else gone including my computers and phones and i have to get back all services and data without having any devices.

the higher the level of security, the higher level of disaster preparedness the end user needs to practice.

I've emailed my elderly parents to make sure they understand that this mandatory 2fa roll out is happening, and I've explained how they could fuck up their accounts by not notating the recovery method. offered to review their details to make sure it passes a sniff test.
Why would I wait for some meeting the next morning?

You wouldn't. Why are you under the impression that scrum prohibits communication outside standup?

Daily scrum is a floor on communication, not a ceiling. It guarantees that focused communication happens at least once a day. Sometimes people miss slack posts and emails. Scrum makes sure the entire team is aware of progress and blockers. It's a tiny slice of the day when it's done properly.
> What are they extinguishing?

All build tools that MS doesn't control. Their strategy has always been to try lock developers into their ecosystem so that only their ecosystem has all the software people want.

> Which things do you think they extended?

Acquiring and extending both Xamarin and Github. Atom editor is basically dead, MS/Github created an AI tool that presumably uses data they got from Github, they tried to remove features from free .NET tools, etc...

Tape drive backwards compatibility is an issue for sure but optical drives have had decent backwards compatibility so far. DVD drives can read CD's. BR drives can read CD, DVD and BR. I think backwards compatibility is more feasible for optical as the larger pits on older media can still be read by narrower wavelengths. They'll just look like giant craters flashing by instead of nice neat pits.

Maybe a starter-tier 3D printer. Something around $300~. You'll need a well ventilated space though, plastic fumes are unpleasant.

I was expecting: PHP + MySQL + a bunch of shell scripts to install stuff on servers + reading logs via command line by ssh as root.

I think both Clickhouse and TimeScaleDB are great systems with different design goals and approaches. Specifically I think Clickhouse is much better suited to "Event Logs" than "Metrics" storage (Clickhouse Inspired VM does well in this regard)

My favored approach to offset drilling / drilling on curved surfaces is to use an endmill. Doesn't wander, goes straight in. Of course, you need an endmill for that approach, but id you're building a CNC those should be in ready supply.

As a physician I would add:

-The UI of Cerner's product is inconsistent and maddening. A constant experience is that on some screens one must right click to open up extra data fields for entry but elsewhere they open on their own.

-The UI is often randomly changed and one must figure it out again. We would really like reliable tools.

-Latency is substantial.

-Simply reading data is frustrating because popups occur everywhere. We were told that a way to use Cerner is to hover to get a popup with more info. This is rarely useful. What happens is that popups get in the way of what you are looking for.

-Between Cerner Powerchart, the desktop login software, and dictation software there are random roadblocks several times daily. Something won't load or fails, or has a moment of 10x latency, or crashes. This is frustrating since we are trying to help seriously ill people and these tools are random/chaotic.

-Anyone using EHRs know that the EHRs make mistakes, delete things. I've caught the EHR deleting signed orders in the background that I had to reorder. Initially I thought I must be starting to forget to order things on patients or was going crazy. But, when our quality people played back my actions in the EHR (at my request) they could see that I had used it properly and the EHR had deleted orders. We have to overwatch the EHR for safety reasons.

-EHR is a recruitment issue. Some practitioners have bypassed us because of the EHR we are required to use.

-Productivity is at least 3x lower with the EHRs compared to paper flows.

-The EHR contributes to practitioner burnout for many reasons. It is frustrating and exhausting to use. It is random and chaotic.

If anyone from the EHR vendors, login vendors, dictation vendors, or overwatching government agencies are reading (and that might care) I plead with you to improve the nearly uniformly terrible EHR/EMR end-user situation.

How big is this high-end processor market for these companies that there's so much focus on it? Or is it more of like a battle "Who can make the bestest processor?"

Seriously the best is a low TDP ultralight processor that can crush 99% of usecases. Which seemed like AMD did well this past gen.
To add: LTO speeds are currently in the 300MB/s range: if you want > TB size storage you likely don't want ~100MB/s for regular use. I work on systems where we are regularly writing multiple tapes of 5+ TB and if you get only 100MB/s you're waiting hours and if something fails or gets stuck you can be thrown off schedule by more than a day very quickly. Even at the current 300MB/s speeds it's very slow. If personal archival or even small-scale archival is your interest getting network storage is probably easier, faster and cheaper. What's more, is that you have to keep some kind of inventory of your tapes so you know where to find data if you ever need it. Depending on the size of your collection you can be looking for even more expensive equipment to manage the archive of your archives.

Doesn't seem self consistent. He defines the ab multiplication as dot product plus "extrusion"/bivector (which seems simpler to call convex combinations of 0,a,b,a+b). Then he says aa is a scalar, presumably because the "extrusion" is 0, but you can't have this identity be 0. Just because it's degenerate does not mean it's 0. And the "extrusion" while not a plane is a line in his definition.
Let us be straight: they effectively made the Azure DevOps (the leftover from the once might Team Foundation Server) a weak product to further foster GitHub. So when this team brought some tech over, that just means, they are now working for GitHub primarily and no longer on Azure DevOps.
It absolutely applies both ways and I never implied it didn't. Many businesses don't have the cashflow to offer significant raises, it's not a matter of hating their employees. So they close altogether or operate at limited hours. For instance, most of the restaurants around me are not open near as much as they were in 2019 because they can't find the labor.
I've been at a place with PM-driven standups. It was fine because:

1) If the team was like, "our team on this project is tiny and we all sit next to each other, so we don't need them", or "we'd rather do Slack messages for standups, on this particular project", he'd let that happen without a fuss, aside from ensuring that any communication he needed from it was still, somehow, happening. So it was still team-driven and very flexible.

2) He was very disciplined about not turning them into project status meetings, or making standup messages take the form of status updates.

[EDIT] I should add that the benefit to him was that he got to hear a lot of unvarnished truth about what was going on, which micromanagers don't get, because he was at all times, in the face he presented to the team, on "our side". That put him in a much better position for polishing up the information he had for consumption outside the team(s), which benefited us, too. He might have questions or something, and it's not that he never pushed back on anything, but he let standups be standups, and kept that stuff separate and as non-confrontational as possible.
That's an argument against having any package management at all. I respect that, but I don't really think it's viable in open source communities -- even Perl had CPAN decades ago.

Interesting! The India sugar you refer to seems to be similar to "Nib sugar" or "Pearl sugar" in Scandinavia[0]. It's basically used for baking (decoration) here. For everything else we use regular "fine sugar". Or well, there's also "powder sugar" ("florsocker" in Swedish, unsure what the equivalent in English is) which is also used for baking.
