How to Avoid 8 Common Agile Anti-Patterns Hurting Your Team
Even in todays traditional banking system there are a litany of cases where people refuse to take responsibility for their gullible actions and expect their bank to bail them out.

There are a few stories on the ThisIsMoney (UK's Daily Mail's money rag) front page right now about relatively convincing and sophisticated scams where people were robbed of thousands.

The average person isn't ready for the risk of crypto.

I agree that this is a great start because of all the aspects it improve at the same time like you said.

No contradictions for himself, no. The AV crews hold him up as a poster boy for not getting the vaccine though, citing that he as the 'inventor'* of mRNA says nobody should use mRNA vaccines. I wonder if many of them realise he's vaccinated.

*he also denies that he's the inventor, of course
This is apparently a feature, not a bug.
Having watched cryptocurrency from a distance via HN etc. for over a decade, I thought I had a general understanding, but this made me realize I wasn’t aware of what smart contracts really were (just looked up solidity today and details of The DAO hack). The potential for irreversible losses, fraud and security holes are much bigger than I realized.

This also lead me to this video which will now be my ‘go to’ recommendation for anyone asking about crypto and NFTs - it’s a general critique and social commentary of the issues with crypto - not specifically about this case, but I thought excellent, and the first time I think I’ve watched a 2hr vid on YouTube

selling guns is just a side business, the actual profit is in: "I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912 (where have I heard that name before?). I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested."
i have tried to ask people a simple question. "why do you think you know fonts better than microsoft or apple?" not to even talk about linux for a moment here. do these multi trillion dollar companies making operating systems do a shit job at fonts that each and every website developer needs to use google fonts that increase dependency on third parties than using system default fonts?
I've written middleware APIs for accepting currency in carts and casinos that interfaced with / polled bitcoind and other daemons. Why on earth would this person be calling APIs directly, and why would the daemon not just reject the transaction if it's an unexpected kind of token? Or if he added funds to the contract why not be able to remove them to the same address? I never dealt with smart contracts but even allowing this to happen without an error seems like a crazy, terrible design.
I'm guessing you've been hurt by words on a screen in the past, many many times and think you can do the same to me. lol
Nice write-up. I realized recently how poorly understood AMMs are, despite their apparent mathematical simplicity. I used to think of AMM swaps as analogous to market orders, and this is still the dominant view. But in the presence of MEV, swaps behave like limit orders instead. I wrote it up in more detail here: https://ruudvanasseldonk.com/2021/12/07/a-perspective-shift-...
I've started reading "The book of disquiet" recently and it's definitely an original piece of art.
I’m not sure I understand the point about enterprise apps, because that can go both ways. Custom company application tend to be the worst, because they apply all the company branding guidelines, rather than just applying to system defaults.
Actually, things sort of like that exist in some jurisdictions where banking coops etc. pool and redistribute risk within their network.

Arguably, some dark pools also are like this with clear execution rules and an outside price oracle - only up to a point comparable, though.
It is immutable, unless in some cases it is not. However of majority of us plebs it is practically immutable.
Here's an easy rebuttal: you can't make people want to be around each other. Freedom of association is not a bug, but a feature. The more you try to force it, the more people will push back or find ways around it. Affirmative action doesn't work, not for lack of try on legislators' and employers' to "nerd harder", but because one cannot legislate association in a manner so convenient that one can assert that it should already exist.
Pierre Terdiman's "Radix sort revisited" for O(N) sorting (linear worst case!), from the same era:

http://www.codercorner.com/RadixSortRevisited.htm

> In every decent programmer’s toolbox lies a strange weapon called a Radix Sort. Where does it come from ? Who invented it ? I don’t know. As far as I can remember it was there, fast, easy, effective. Really effective. So unbelievably useful I’ve never really understood why people would want to use something else. The reasons ? Most of the time, they tell me about floats, negative values, and why their new quick-sort code rocks.

> Enough, I’m tired. Although the standard Radix Sort doesn’t work very well with floating point values, this is something actually very easy to fix. In this little article I will review the standard Radix Sort algorithm, and enhance it.
I still don't get WETH. What is the purpose of exchanging ETH, which is a token on the Ethereum blockchain, for WETH, which is also a token on the Ethereum blockchain (with the same nominal value)?
I am using Gitbook. They seemed to have changed things in a big way and a number of issues seem to have cropped up. Unlikely I can fix these myself.
The price of eth is surprisingly easy to calculate, with the coin price being (new dollars people are willing to invest into crypto)/(amount of coins in circulation).

There are no pesky externalities like "amount of EBITDA per outstanding eth", every single dollar is coming from someone buying in.

This reduced the denominator, thus increasing the value of eth.
I'm on a similar boat. I really really like the idea of this stack. You are going to have the pains of a database (migrations and scaling) anyway, all your data is in a database, so why not put everything there, right? And lot of business logic fits SQL and transactions very well - like finance stuff - relying on SERIALIZABLE is probably less work than writing your own locking for moving money around.

But I think the tooling is not really there, and developer experience directly translates to both productivity and team attrition so that's a really big problem. Also, lot of logic does not fit into SQL very well, say "give me a pdf" or something.

Most importantly, most developers are used to think procedurally and SQL is not natural to them. And to let my inner corporate manager speak, Java or Python or node backend developers are everywhere, while for something like this you need specialized people.

It works here because their point about having differing priors. On HN, people largely have similar priors (at least on some axes).
> Drop packets when demuxing. From y to o, it's best to drop packets at o rather than use backpressure from o to y. Otherwise, a single full output queue could starve the others by stopping y. (Example: imagine if a full queue to a 1 Mbps wifi station could stop traffic to a 100 Mbps wifi station. Some Linux wifi drivers suffer from this.)

Aaah, memories. Combined with point 11, pause frames. I was debugging a weird issue with a gbit switch about 15 years ago.

Port A is a server sending to port B and C. C is only capable of 100mbits. I could send from A to B at 950mbits, and A to C at 50, all good. As soon as I didn't artificially throttle the rate to C at A, it would eventually hit 100mbits for A -> C, which resulted in the rate from A to B also dropping to 100mbits, so a total output of 200 at A. After a lot of trying and poking I saw these mysterious pause frames in Wireshark, which I glanced over before because who'd wanna look at anything below IP... Once I looked them up and disabled pause frames on all the machines, I got the expected result of 900 to B and 100 to C. And once I figured that out it was trivial to formulate a google query that resulted in exactly this problem and the solution to it, which I failed at before.

So ever since then disabling pause frames is one of the first things I do when networking is acting weird.

Bonus: Back then when I told an older colleague about my findings, he basically confirmed "pause frames are evil" with another story: Late 90s they started having a problem in another department that entire network segments sometimes became completely unreachable. And the machines in that segment couldn't even communicate with each other. Randomly power-cycling switches and replugging machines solved the problem. After quite some time they tracked it down: Some folks in said department got shiny new laptops, and whenever those entered standby, the NIC "didn't get the message". Its buffer would eventually fill up (as there was no OS running to handle any packets) and from then on, the network segment would get spammed into oblivion with pause frames.
I have seen the opposite effect on Samsung phones, I hope it's an exception.
But orgs like WHO don't have any real power - they make recommendations and (western) countries, in the main, either accept or reject them.

I think it's a stretch to suggest all the countries are in on this together as some sort of 'control' method.

Public/Private partnerships are a modern necessity in countries that choose to keep their citizens happy through low-tax policies. There's room for corruption there sure, but that doesn't lend itself to all countries agreeing to go with this wild covid idea as an exercise in exerting greater control over their populaces

Wow, it's really rare these days to see a tool that supports WARC.

Despite being an ISO standard [1] and the default archive format of the internet archive, and despite a handfull of lovingly crafted tools (such as webrecorder [2], warcprox etc.), it never seems to have caught on in a broader context.

Really a shame - I' deeply convinced that the ability to archive and replay requests is a technique for defending and strengthening user rights.

Few days ago I looked for an issue about maven daemon (not reusing daemon when using java 8), all first page results where about gradle, all of them. This time DuckDuckGo did a lot better. I'm now doubting Google results reliability in general.
I believe the LR35902 SoC is exclusive for the Game Boy, but the actual CPU core, SM83, is probably used elsewhere. Sharp's datasheets [2] mention home appliances as intended application.

You're missing the point. They need to be able to pay the 80% without being held hostage to the FED.

Fiat currencies are a scam as well. Crypto isn't a scam inherently, scams exist because there's too many gullible and greedy people.

But Fiat is designed to be a scam. A few folks control the supply and effectively steal from everyone when they increase it.

You cannot arruficially increase supply of most crypto.

We need to stop thinking about "how much is crypto X is worth in dollars" and actually cut the dollar out, let people buy everyday needs directly with crypto.
I'm not trying to hurt you at all.
I'm trying to make you realize that whatever skills and time you have are being completely wasted on pointless stuff. This is really sad.
Pretty soon you'll be able to get paid interest on your WETH in WTF. WTF is a meta token based on a smart contract token based on Ethereum. With WTF, you never need to worry about where your money is. You can be assured that 100% of the time you try to redeem it you will stare at your screen for hours going WHAT THE FUCK
The EBITDA of eth is exactly 0, actually.
Let's see what you're up to and see how well of a judge you are on what people should be spending their time on.

Not convinced if you spend your time telling other people they are wasting their time. On a throwaway account, no less.

Surely an efficient allocator of time has something better to do on a Sunday.
Oh, I see they recommend writing WARC files with wget using `--no-warc-digests`. You really should not do that - one, it's just a sha1 and neither costly in terms of CPU nor storage. Two, the digest is used to create revisit records for de-duplication. If you disable that you or someone else might end up with lots of duplicate resources on re-crawling.
I don’t understand why these contracts don’t let addresses that make this particular error recover their funds, it would be easy to implement at contract creation or am I missing something?
You could just pay someone actually in a location and proxy their signals

That's technically detectable through round-trip timings (e.g. your apple watch needs to be close enough to your computer to unlock it – too far away and the round-trip time exceeds the allowed threshold).

I still agree on the very minimal value though!

> Then please explain to me why Tesla, during the past decade being one of the few BEV manufacturers has always been limited by production only

For this part I'll just borrow a quote from you:

> You don't seem to be familiar with how long it takes to ramp up production of a 10000+ component product, based on a ground up design in just about every aspect.

Tesla has been severely limited by their ability to industrialize the way they wanted, but you're still completely off-topic: nobody has “flooded the market” with electric car in the meantime, because the market barely existed during that period. Now the market is here, and everybody benefits it (and Tesla is just taking a share of that market).

> despite never ever advertising in its entire history?

Regular advertising with TV ads and so on, right. But they have been running a multi-billion influencer marketing with Elon doing random stuff (building a tiny submarine to help children stuck in caves, pumping and dumping bitcoin, then memecoins, etc.)

How can you say they never ran adverting when we're talking about the company that sent a car TO SPACE!? Come on.

> You're clueless.[…]

No, but you should try reading what I write maybe.

> Ask me how Tesla is better than all of them in all the ways that matter

That's pretty typical of a cult. I've never had a single car that “was better than every other before in all aspects” (even when going from Volkswagen to Mercedes) just because it's not how it works.

> And yet the demand for it so high, you have to wait a year to get one. Looks like comfort isn't the only thing that sells cars.

Yes, the status symbol is a enormous part of why people buy luxury car. But keep thinking it doesn't exist and Tesla is just making the best car ever and just cry about injustice when all durability reviews complain that Tesla produces brittle cars.

> What, like Apple did with iPhone?

Yes, also like BlackBerry and Yahoo!
Not particularly a fan of custom fonts, but fonts are not one size fits all. Apple or Microsoft default fonts are designed for the general use case, and other fonts might be more suited in a different context. Whether that's worth the cost, that's a different question.
Well, you can always share those bits on news.yc too! Don't just "go there" only to never come back ;)
As much as I don't like it phone is still _the_ way to deal with various issues, requests and orders. Doubly so in Germany. All those moves to squeeze the lemon by digital platforms just prolong the pain.
Yes, I've dabbled around with the NES as well. But the Game Boy is close to my heart as I had one as a kid. So most of my projects [3] revolve around that old gray brick.

The tool helps you test and see how NFTs work so not surprised its spam/fake, but there is a use in there to test and figure it all out where you use basically nonsense assets.
Also, ERC-777 tokens were supposed to fix this egregious problem by having all transfers check with their destinations (through hooks). There are also various similar extensions to ERC-20 I believe.

Unfortunately, practically no one uses 777 as far as I'm aware? Certainly the OG Wrapped ETH contract doesn't, and it can't be upgraded because it's immutable.
Yes, Microsoft does do a shit job at fonts. Many Android vendors too. Don’t even get me started on Linux.
Now I, for instance, would like to see JS getting decent syntactic sugar for function composition and pattern matching.

There is no clear, undisputed test for coronavirus. Does this mean testing is not effective?

Notably, testing for gender has an accuracy rate that is orders of magnitude more reliable than all conventional coronavirus tests, including multiple PCR tests back-to-back.

As for Eric Vilain, the physician who advocates for extremely harmful (UN's definition) sex assignment procedures on intersex people [1], his wishy-washy definition includes people who have minor genital deformities, according to his own paper. [2]

Just to be crystal clear to drive this point home, Vilain is an advocate of a procedure that causes "severe and life-long physical and mental pain and suffering and can amount to torture and ill-treatment" [1] and which is condemned by intersex advocacy groups. [1]

According to the UN, he is a vehement proponent of torture.

So what does the braille in the source code comment mean?
But why wouldn't the contract decline this kind of 'invalid' transaction? It is invalid as it is now stuck over there forever, meaning it's a case that should be rejected.

At the top level, the vulnerability is in a parser for a compressed image format. The parser isn’t scriptable or programmable, but the code is subverted, exposing some very primitive logic operators that can be applied to image data. Specifically AND, OR, XOR and XNOR.

The attack then uses these fundamental Boolean operators to construct virtual circuits to emulate a primitive custom CPU architecture using only raw bitwise logic, and uses that to run a virtual machine implementing a bespoke Turing complete bytecode interpreter. This then runs the rest of the payload as a program that implements the spyware functionality.

It’s bonkers.
Does

movl mem(%ebx + %ecx + 4), %ecx

also work? If so that would read better than with the commas.
