My problem with abstract estimates are as a product manager my dev team cannot seem to provide me a time measurement that will allow me to accurately bill my customers for custom feature requests to recoup development costs and hopefully make a little extra. So abstract estimates might be good for determine sprint velocities…and may be great for carving up releases, but they suck when you are doing custom modifications you need to accurately quote before the work begins.

Because I also have a development background too, I just tend to look at custom features through through the lens of “how much time this feature would take me”, then add a few multipliers and cross my fingers that the faster and better devs pickup those stories so we don’t lose money.
> I know many proficient people who are bitter that nobody recognized their talent and they consistently get overlooked. They ask me for advice, I give it, they ignore it and get even more bitter.

This has nothing to do with salary negotiation. Tooting your own horn might help you get the job, but it won't help you when you're trying to haggle over your compensation. And generally speaking, knowing how to advocate for yourself is a far more useful skill than salary negotiation, and yet the second will often have a greater impact on your compensation which is my point.

The other half of my point is that me getting paid more doesn't fix discrimination. And you saying "yeah but people should learn how to not be discriminated against", isn't the best response. Yeah, sure, it might help some people, but not everyone will be able to take the advice, so instead of making people bootstrap themselves up, I'll advocate for the social shortcut of changing the law.
You are missing the point. This NNE is regarding whether mandating vaccine passport at gyms, restaurants has any benefit to reducing transmission.
The lack of a lifecycle on data in blockchain, especially one that is supposed to serve people on a planet scale, is actually a pretty serious issue.

Learning how critical it is for everything to have a lifecycle was one of the turning points of my career (and I learned it over a decade into it). I’m guessing from your comment you haven’t learned it yet, so I’d invite you to keep an eye on all the lifecycles you deal with in the near future.
But, not everybody likes the eye strain of overly symbolic almost hieroglyphics and unreadable chicken scratch code. A lot is to be said for readability and maintainability.

And any repetitive words can be handled by IDEs, editors, and macros.
That video of her prancing around to MC Hammer was certainly bizarre.
The author goes on to talk about how there should be a leisure class (basically an aristocracy) and that should be “people of means”. So it’s not even hidden really, it’s just a cementing of the increasing wealth divide more throughly into the political sphere. Neo-Victorianism or something. The working class, literally called “wage-slaves” seemingly unironically in the article and their betters.
No, those options are worse. Tiny boxes that require panning in x and y direction. 100% is about half the width of the PDF.

This glosses over the best part: the quantized DCT is where the magic happens. Basically the 8x8 block is converted in to one of a handful (64) different possible choices, they look kinda like electron orbitals, modulated by coefficients. I didn't understand JPEG until I saw this matrix of choices and then a light went on and I understand why the DCT was necessary. Basically the entire image is reduced down to a finite collection of pre-computed shapes.

> Poor farmers that move to cities aren't idiots. They move to terrible factory jobs because it's what benefits them are their families the most.

That might be the case today, but at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, it was less so. What drove people who might have been subsistence farmers in the past to work in factories were deliberate policies to privatize the land common people needed to work in order to survive, along with laws that made previously landed people landless and criminalizing their abilities to sustain themselves. Early factories were known to maim and kill, the hours were long, cities were full of deadly disease and the quality of life upgrade you might see today didn't exist as wages were so low. People needed to be incentivized to work in factories, and it wasn't fair compensation that was the incentive. The incentive was being driven from the lands that had sustained workers and their ways of life for generations, and systems of laws that forced them into workhouses.

I wish I remembered the quote from around that time, but from memory it went something like, "It might take a commoner a weekend to make himself shoes that will last him years for free, but for that same person working a factory, it would take a month's wages just to buy a pair of shoes that fall apart in the rain."
On a laptop you should probably use the HTML tarball; less of the formatting is broken that way. Unlike Dercuano there isn't SVG or anything in this version that gets lost in the PDF, but there are tables and "ASCII" Unicode art.
Reminds me of the tale in this podcast [1] where the guy's desire to avoid a difficult conversation spiraled into totally ghosting his employer for two weeks.

It's a really tough tendency to fight. One thing I think is helpful is to acknowledge failure as early as possible. If meeting the deadline would require me to work faster than normal or make some heroic last-minute effort, I've already failed, even if that deadline is still a long way out. Admitting that to myself and others now, so that expectations about the future can be adjusted, is a much smaller blow than admitting it weeks or months down the line. And it means I only have to feel a little flaky and underperformant, rather than super flaky and underperformant and also dishonest.

I suffer from anxiety and procrastinate a lot. I wonder if that’s a common link.
>Killing and restarting explorer.exe on Windows 10 is not supported

so what are you supposed to do if explorer hangs or freezes?
There are two broad paths you can explore:

(1) learn why your habits are bad and how to fix them through hit and miss self help and therapy until, after a lot of trial and error you find something that works for you.

(2) just stop caring at all about the emotions. They aren’t real. It is made up guilt. Not giving a fuck is a super power. Embrace your inner distraction and become a being of pure Internet.

I’m sort of kidding, but, sort of not. Maybe check out the new book that’s popular called Atomic Habits, it’s a cool book. I’ve been dealing with ADHD and it’s effects for over two decades, I’ve been there and done that. Ultimately, it requires a lot of difficult fixing of your life loops. There are really specific reasons and habits you probably have that lead to NGTD (Not Getting Things Done). You have to decide if you are going to address them or not. At some high level concept it is choices we are making that fail to steer the ship right. But be kind to yourself, the underlying mechanisms making you do this are deep and not obvious things… you don’t have complete control over them. You must guide your thinking you to a place that makes your not thinking you get it’s shit
together.
The vaccination status of Australia (~93% vaccinations 12+) suggest that vaccines don't do anything practical to slow the spread of omicron. It seems to be vaccinated individuals infecting vaccinated individuals.

All the anti-anti-vax efforts seem to be a bit futile. It makes the current brouhaha over Djokovic is just silly - he's more at risk from Australians than Australians are for him. I'm double vaccinated and still probably going to get COVID in the next month and there isn't even going to be a good tennis match to watch while I'm coughing and sneezing. What is the justification of this sillyness now?
Maybe there was a period, years ago, where decision of Mozilla to accept or not accept crypto somehow would influence its popularity. This time has long passed, and most people who deal with crypto couldn't care less about Mozilla. The only people who are affected by this decision are Mozilla project, who won't get the donations of people who wanted to donate in crypto. Since Mozilla now considers them a filthy, planet-destroying fraudsters, apparently, I guess it's for the best for both sides. But let's not overestimate how much this means overall. Which is - not a real lot.
The act of coding itself is also not a constant flow of characters from fingers to screen. You stop to take a moment, go back, correct something, next line, pause to think, type out a line etc. I have never used a device like this but I'm pretty sure I type at roughly the speed I think, at least when I'm writing programs. General note taking, eg. jotting down ideas, might be different, where I do find myself thinking faster than I type.
I do not have an HA setup BUT all of my proxmox vms are snapshot backuped by proxmox backup server every night to my home NAS and to my office NAS. You can use one of many storage providers. SSHFS also works.
This is the cheapest and lowest administration solution I used till today.
For production usage I would recommend 3-4 similar speced 28€ machines and run a replicated proxmox cluster or ceph proxmox cluster.

I have a distaste for the credit reporting system because of (a) the flagrant security lapses and (b) I still don’t understand why “identity theft” is somehow my problem when I am neither the fraudster nor the defrauded party.

What’s the strongest argument in favor of credit reporting agencies? If we got rid of them would borrowing money become so difficult or expensive that we’d regret what we wished for?
You would run TeamViewer on your phone 24/7 with a persistent connection to a server? Now would you receive the notifications?
I've seen it happen. A peer team had found an excellent match and extended the offer, which was accepted. Then during the background check there was some discrepancy in details (not salary, but even more trivial stuff) and HR canceled the offer. Management fought it hard but HR stood firm, offer dropped.
The JVM can be as fast as you want, Swing would make your app drag along
So go to HR and say "please sign this form that says I make $X" rather than preemptively broadcasting it?
In my experience the only way to get these things done is to find a bigger thing to procrastinate about.

This hopefully gets you a bit of mileage until there's one thing you really don't want to do; which you can either hand off to someone else to do (possibly at great dollar or favour cost), or fail at.

Only starting with MS-DOS 5.0, until then it was GW-BASIC/BASICA.

And the competition DR-DOS/PC-DOS lacked them (PC-DOS had the early versions though).

I also made a similar Borland progression, although Turbo C 2.0 only took a couple of months and was quickly replaced by Turbo C++ 1.0 on the same year.

After Turbo Pascal 6, dealing with C was a downgrade.

> GitHub now covers a lot of Jira's functionality

No it doesn't. Github Issues/Projects replicates about 10% of Jira.

Maybe basic issue tracking is fine for your use case. But if you have multiple teams or need to do planning across longer time horizons e.g. SAFE then this is where Jira comes into its own.
And, perhaps not surprisingly, I think that last example "Not good at selling themselves" is also bad management. While everyone loves flattery, managers who aren't comfortable being objective with comparing work productivity are bad managers. I cannot count the number of times I wished there was something like codeacademy.com for learning management skills.

One thing that impressed me about IBM, during my brief tenure there after the Blekko acquisition, was that they had a very deep catalog of online self paced training material for developing manager skills. I don't know how many people availed themselves of that resource but since that time I have really wished I could have pointed people who were struggling at some of the courses they had.

Completely agree. Narcissistic personality disorder is a thing, but it's almost the polar opposite of what GP described.

It wouldn't even occur to a narcissist that they're making things difficult for someone else. If you have a voice in your head telling you that you should feel guilty about all the ways in which you're making things hard for others... sure you might have an anxiety or a burnout problem, but you clearly have empathy.
I think most people can agree that it has nothing to do with preventing the disease, but there will be a smorgasbord of educated and uneducated guesses about the real purpose of vaccine passports.

You might even say digital passports are just an evolution of humanity, the disease is irrelevant, and they will be repurposed afterwards.

Say like to discourage bad behaviour (social credit score passport), passport passport (to control and track movement), carbon passport (to track individual emissions), internet passport (to prevent viewing of things deemed to lead to extremism), privilege and adversity passport (to compare victimhood and oppressor status and advance equity)

Etc etc.

I think my point is that all passports are bad for the individual, and if we accept passports, we will be stuck with a passport for every single social issue of the day. A permenant scorecard.
I've become worried about Rust as "async" worms its way into more crates. "Async" is optimized for I/O bound programs. The special case of a large number of slow network connections talking to a server, web services, is what it's really used for. If you have multiple compute-bound tasks crunching away, it's a mismatch.
Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to take into account terrain outside of the viewport. Try zooming into the tip of a mountain’s shadow during a “long shadows” time of day, once you zoom in enough that the mountain itself is out of viewport suddenly the area brightens.

So full disclosure, I recently (literally this week) started a role at Atlassian, but not on Jira. Standard disclosure - this is 100% my personal opinion and not that of Atlassian in any way.

I think the thing that sets Jira apart is process management. It's the feature that no other competing tool really has to anywhere near the same level of power. If you're at a big org, especially one that has regulatory obligations, the level of control Jira gives you over workflows is pretty unmatched and it allows you to enforce certain practises and processes into the ways your teams work that mean that when you get audited, you can point to your Jira workflow and be like "See, we have system enforced process controls".

I also think that the Jira UX is... weirdly nice (personal opinion), in a brutal utilitarian way. If you compare it to some of the startups that are trying to disrupt Jira (I'm looking at you, Clickup), the UI is SIGNIFICANTLY less noisy.
In your experience does the medication get more effective if you can find ways to work with it? I've been trying to make it work for a while now and it seems like it either does nothing or makes me lock on to some random tangential (usually useless) task I'm near when it kicks in. Really not getting a quieting like with caffeine, which has been disappointing.
I've had pretty good success being completely honest about my salary requirements. A 10% raise just won't cut for me, because I care about my team. The only way I'm willing to leave is for a <your_number_here>% raise, and comparable benefits.

Edit: I'm probably biased, because I've been shown a lot of love the past few years by my current employer, in the form of money.
If antibodies are the measure, then we "need" many more than 4.
Weird. I had the immunoglobulin shots, two in the legs, two in buttocks. Despite the syringes being larger than ones I usually see for vaccine it was nothing too memorable. The intramuscular shots (J&J for covid and Tdap honestly hurt more). The ~$17k bill the hospital sent me was the most painful part of the rabies post-exposure process to deal with, not any of the shots.

I suspect that might be down to kitchen social dynamics (and/or carefully defined its terms to avoid counting pre-prepared food which is the real timesaver), because e.g. laundry has famously become something that consumes massively less time due to mechanisation.

Being able to search through your photo library by person is a real improvement that ordinary people notice and use. (Also I think most technical people gave up on voice recognition back when it was overhyped and poor, and have thus missed out on what it can do when it's actually decent).

I'm not sure if this is a great idea (for anything beyond a hobby project) as your customer will have to supply the Raspberry Pi Zero or Zero W.

You cannot purchase Zeros in quantity (there are limits imposed).

You will be better supported by Raspberry Pi if you go down the Compute Module path (yup, they're more expensive).

Democrats and Republicans alike want to use the threat of regulation and anti-trust action to force social media companies to adopt moderation policies favorable to them. They both recognize (IMO correctly) that they must make these threats; principled adherence to economic liberty leaves one without leverage and is likely to result in companies simply caving to one's opposition (c.f. the behavior of most companies with respect to China).

Credit bureaus don't influence elections, ergo there is little advantage to be gained by making threats against them.
Could this indicate past attempts by fraudsters to adopt your identity?
When I first heard the term "doom scrolling," I thought it was something along these lines. Scrolling some feed or another, past the point when you should have moved on, to avoid confronting these types of tasks for just a bit longer.

That to me feels like a much deeper and more terrifying doom than simply reading bad news.

The FBI has a bullet point "Silent Second" on their page about mortgage fraud, so people have borrowed money for their down payments in the past and been prosecuted for it. That's not a new idea.

https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/white-collar-crime/mortgage-...

For the income taxes, my first thought would be "sell an NFT for $200k to a friend", now it's a gain on sale of property that can be offset by buying real estate in an "opportunity zone". Later, your friend can even claim a tax deduction when it gets "stolen".

He's self-employed with a business. So $200k in annual sales to his friend, and then he purchases $200k of equipment depreciated over 5 years from the same friend but split among 12 different shell companies so it's not obvious. He does pay taxes the first year, but gets it back over the next 4 years.

That page mentions leasing from the owner at inflated rates, and then getting it appraised at a multiple of the profit. It's not a direct example, but does use inflated income transferred between friends. They probably wouldn't mind paying taxes on the lease income during that time, since the multiple is often 20x.

[4, 0, 0, 0, 0, 16, 0]

Sure enough...
