I think so, yes.

There's no reason for him not to consider Firefox, since installing extensions reliably led him to become exasperated with Brave relying on backend servers, which then led himto the decision to stop using Brave. So since most if not all of the extensions he's looking for are very likely either ported to Firefox, or have (often better) equivalents, why not switch?

I'm not trying to be pedantic, just using the opportunity to promote switching to Firefox, because it's great :) and there are less bumps on the road than people make out.

When I switched back to Firefox after quantum hit, I actually discovered I didn't even need a few of the extensions I needed in Chrome.
To this day I still don’t understand how one can read the agile manifesto and somehow get to scrum.

The whole thing is about processes, and tools (jira)… the complete opposite.

The reason everyone ends up doing waterfall is that it’s not the devs who you need to convince when selling agility, is the chain of command. Being agile means having no long term plan. If the C-suite can’t handle that, you’ll never be agile.
YouTube suspended my account for posting DeFi hackathon video
I knew Google's automated processes were pretty bad from earlier stories here, but today I got hit by it myself.

I participated in the totally legit EthGlobal "Hack Money" hackathon (https://hackathon.money/) earlier this year and one of required submissions of that event was a video describing your work.
I made one and uploaded it to Youtube. The hackathon went great and we won some prizes but that's not relevant to this story.

Yesterday evening I received an email from Youtube that they've removed my channel because "Spam, scams or commercially deceptive content are not allowed on YouTube.".

I thought this certainly must be an error so I used the attached appeal link and got a response within less than 15 minutes that they appeal has been rejected and that no further replies will be processed.

I am a paid Youtube Music subscriber and I can't login to even listen to my own music anymore. Amazing.

I would like to think that Google's AI systems are smarter than just videoTitle.contains("hack") && videoTitle.contains("money"), but apparently not.

If anybody has connections who can help get me unsuspended that would be highly appreciated. The google cache of my channel is still available here:

IBS. Getting assessed for Crohn's isn't really possible in the NHS at the moment since its collapsed for most non emergency care ever since Covid hit, I have been unable to get any specialist appointments to assess it properly. Now I don't have to.
I've never quite understood, over 30 years of experience in software development, what problems Waterfall presented that warranted a complete refactor of software development processes such that things are now very much in cult-/cargo-cult territory.

There is a natural process that every issue goes through: Analysis, Specifications, Requirement, Design .. then the Developer takes in the materials of each of these steps, does an Implementation and Testing phase .. then the issue has to be validated/verified with a Qualification step, and then it gets released to the end user/product owner, who sign off on it.

This is a natural flow of steps, and it always appears to me that the new-fangled developer cults are always trying to 'prove' that these aren't natural steps, by either cramming every step into one phase (we only do "Analysis" and call it Scrum) or by throwing away steps (Qualification? What's that?) and then wondering why things are crap.

Too many times, projects I've seen fail could've been saved if they'd just gotten rid of the cult-think.

Its nice, therefore, to see someone else making the observation that Waterfall is a natural process and all the other -isms are just sugar/crap-coating what is a natural consequence of organizing computing around the OSI model - something that has been effective for decades now, and doesn't need improvement-from-the-youth antics.
This is great, visibility makes the zig developers accountable and gives a clear incentive not to regress.

Google Maps Edit Investigated by Romanian Organised Crime and Terrorism Agency
I've started thinking about this last year and wrote down some thoughts in this draft post: https://ttm.sh/2l3.md

>
Could we get the best of both worlds by treating specification and compliance (testing) as a single problem? This hypothetical approach i call specification-driven development, whereby a specification document is intended both for human and machine consumption. In that case, the specification contains a written presentation of concepts, in addition to a machine-readable test suite that follows a certain format to programmatically ensure that the concepts and behavior described in the specification are implemented properly.

I've centered the document on my personal usecases (CLI and sysadmin checks) but i don't see a reason it couldn't be employed for API/ABI checks.
> those close to the BBO are not "free" for the spoofer given

I missed this earlier, but it's not a good argument.

It's all about risk-adjusted expected value. There's a distribution of payoffs to spoofing, and it skews far to the right. The conceptual categories of "free" vs "not-free", or "risky" vs "riskless" is the wrong mental framework for evaluating this problem. Yes, it's not risk-free, but why is that relevant?
> Regional Court in Hamburg

Pretty famous court that is very popular choice by rights owners. You can forget about getting any sensible justice here. It has created whole new industries for warning letters.

Many people currently look at the state and want it to be more powerful. But Germany actually does have quite a few problems with corruption. This is not, but a similarly parasitic industry that serves no immediate purpose aside from getting cases to lawyers that can win quite a sum.

It is technically moronic to serve DNS-blocks of course. My provider does it, so I would recommend anyone in Germany to use another server, but sadly not 9.9.9.9 anymore...
since FSF is about software licence ethics they will probably find technical merrits irrelevant if the project uses a licence that is less appealing to their standards than the already existing solution. i dont see why that should raise your eyebrows
There's no problem with the "int argument". (Not sure if you mean the function argument ("reg") or the operand of the conditional operator, but either way not a problem.) The conflict is between the declared return type of the function and the type of the returned expression.
You are doing a great service to consumers and you have my respect for your ongoing efforts despite the appearance of whispering into a hurricane.
The C-suite only hear "fast delivery" and ignore the other parts while also demanding the waterfall parts that suit the ways they need to work such as committing devs to deadlines one financial year out when funding bids have to be submitted.

There is something ironic about being ordered to estimate a 12 month work order while also being told make sure "it's agile" and delivered on time and on budget by ++currrentYear.

Homemade system that is not in any way publishable. It's a folder hierarchy but also viewable as a chronological timeline. The main key is to organize them as you go, and not fall too far behind.
A major French bank where I'm currently working at has implemented this method for its development teams... While we do have deadlines there is so few pressure compared to the other teams I had worked with before, that we actually have the luxury to build our features and being actually satisfied with what we're delivering
> then it benefits from _some_ waterfall planning. Meaning to think before the work begins about the approach being taken, all of those dependencies, and who you need to engage and when... tada, you've made a GANTT chart in your head and are now waterfall because you put some thought into the dependencies and the order of execution.

Agile does not mean that you should forego all of this and code first, think later. What you describe does not oppose Agile and Waterfall.
Waterfall is just a mapping of the dependency graph back into work-packages.

As all things are hierarchical in some way, large changes and additions, always lead to a larger change allover the graph, making it necessary to go all the steps back.

Change something large enough, and the process forces you back to the architecture drawing board.

> Page-level Compression ... but I am fine with relying on ZFS filesystem compression

There are compromises there. With page level compression the pages usually remain compressed in memory as well as on-disk and get unpacked on access (and repacked on change). This eats CPU time, but saves RAM as well as disk space which for some workloads is a beneficial trade-off as a larger common working set fits into the same amount of active memory (particularly when IO is slow, such as traditional spinning disks, cloud providers when you aren't paying a fortune, or when competing with a lot of IO or network contention on a busy LAN/SAN).

With filesystem compression you don't get the same CPU hit every time the page is read, and depending on your data you may get better compression for a couple of reasons, but you don't get the RAM saving.
This works for some. However if the sports club of your kid uses WhatsApp to announce training times etc. your kid might miss information etc.

Right, it's important to keep "worse is better" in mind, but also keep in mind that the philosophy fades in importance the longer that a technology has been around. For instance:

"C is a programming language designed for writing Unix, and it was designed using the New Jersey approach. C is therefore a language for which it is easy to write a decent compiler"

Is that still true? Over time, people have wanted to fix the flaws in C, so they have added features, and nowadays writing a compiler for C is less easy.

And there are other ways to measure the declining value of "worse is better." Many people would now argue that memory safety is worth the extra effort. Many would say the world would be a better place if C was banned and everyone switched to something like Rust. C continues to lose market share to those languages that guarantee memory safety, and yet C never fully dies, which is interesting.

Over time, the tax you must pay for the "worse" begins to cost more than what you gain from the simplicity. My point, above, was how long this can take. We think of the tech industry as fast moving, and yet many core technologies have had obvious flaws for 30 or 40 years, and yet little action is taken to move to better technologies.
> Waterfall was never that bad anyway.

If you’ve never seen a project that wasted its entire time in the scoping and planning phase (and not produce anything), then you’ve never seen how bad waterfall can get.

How Much Does Is Optimal Max Keto Safe Cost?
I don't think heirs getting money is a significant issue. It's the restrictions on use of said intellectual products and the persecution of those that use said work by our common powers i.e. states/police.

Freeloading heirs get inheritance in many ways, mostly real-estate and companies I think. Society stratified into feudal classes is a big issue, but I don't think we have many examples from authorship (for now).

I don't mind and I think society shouldn't mind other people freeloading or probably even having resources - it's a sign of envy and destructive. It's only when those who have affect those who don't through scarcity or influence that I have issues.

How is becoming non-profit a "defeat"? I would argue society would fare much better if all work was for the profit of society and not (capitalist) profit.

Also, why don't we tech people lead by example and build non-profits and cooperatives that provide better software/services? See for example the successes of framasoft, sourcehut...
Will you just shut up, man?
The problem with waterfall to my experience is not immediately visible to developers or directly concerns developers, but rather the stakeholders and managers. Almost always, your customer doesn't know what they want - they think they do, but they don't and will only realize this after you finished development and have a visible system demo/field test.

Additionally it is really hard for project management to get metrics/early warnings if something is not going properly (no project - waterfall or agile - is without problems during its lifetime). How would you asses the quality/progress of a project based on a couple of a specification or requirements documents 1-2years into the project with no (immediately usable) code being available? How would you asses if the approach taken after 3years in a project will be accepted by your endusers?

Waterfall is just a big black box to management and stakeholders with the hope that after 5years something usable will come out of it.
> I mean, true in a technical sense, but don't all the sample functions here have known analytical Fourier transforms?

Yes but currently I make not use of it but simply apply the DFT on the samples of the function. Making use of the analytical versions would result in smoother results but I would like to allow for custom signal functions in the future so I would like to keep the simple approach of just doing the DFT.

> It would also be cool to have functions in the shape dropdown that are not symmetrical.
Nice idea but what interesting functins would be there that are not achieved by using the time shift?

That would be quite a feat, given that the proprietary unices didn't have source available for their utils. Where would the GNU project get it?
Daily smoking of tobacco has a distinct effect on peoples lungs, while daily drinking of alcohol as a distinct effect on peoples liver. Smoking of cannabis has both effects, through how much on each is still being debated.

I think we can however be fairly confident that daily consumption of tea and coffee is safer in term of stimulants. Not many develop chronic bronchitis from tea.
> With pure waterfall you spend a lot of time writing and reviewing specs, then you spend a lot of time coding, then tests, then deliver.

(see my reply above, for some context and why I might be wrong :-).

My recollection of Waterfall is that there is always an "acceptance" phase at the end of every "fall"[1] - IOW, there is a sign-off by the stakeholders that what's in the phase is correct.

So your requirements are engraved in stone, your test protocol is engraved in stone, and your UAT is engraved in stone, and your "pilot performance acceptance" is engraved in stone.

If it turns out there is an error in any one of the phases above then that error, and that error alone, is signed off on and goes through all the phases (or "falls"?) again. Since this is more expensive the further in the falls the error is, there is pressure to get as much sign-off as possible for any issue before that issue proceeds to the next phase.

[1] I like the word "fall" to describe each phase of waterfall :-) I'm going to start using it more often and see if it catches on.

Modern fluid typography editor for web developers

This is pretty much the same debate in linux vs freebsd back in early 2000s. Better code quality doesn't get the most recognition. Usually the devs just go with what's hip. And MySQL just sounds better on the marketing end (just because of it's name) than postgres (I mean who can pronounce the name).
I noticed this as well. No matter how dedicated the team is to not doing waterfall, waterfall nearly always creeps its way back when anything that even smells like a deadline rears its head.

Waterfall planning tends to get ramped up for four really common reasons:

* Managers who simply cannot conceieve of non waterfall planning.

* As a response to failure (ironic coz it tends to increase failure rate)

* Because it's basically the job of most middle management to do waterfall planning.

* Because if your managers manager wants deadlines, tough shit it's deadlines all the way down.

* Because ultimately, upper mamagement tends to prioritize control over profit even if that control is somewhat illusory.

Waterfall planning is kind of infectious, too - if the team does it in one area it spreads to others.

I would say that 90% of teams experience this kind of "waterfall whiplash".

I worked on a couple of teams where upper management didnt set deadlines or create roadmaps or anything. These rare occasions were the only time when I was entitely free of waterfall and we were way way more productive because of it. Like night and day.

However, 90% of companies can't even envision this, let alone do it. Most people dont even believe its possible - developers included.

I suspect this is one component of the secret sauce of high performing startups that defeat wealthier, more established incumbents.
I totally agree, but in the age of DocuSign, how do you modify a document, sign it, and send it back? I often feel like I'm stuck waiting for the other party to modify the document first so I can sign.
