I have come to really like kanbahn methods. No two weeks sprints, no committing to work you will get done (thus needing to sandbag to ensure you meet them - management will measure this to ensure you hit your commitments 100% - though to be fair SCRUM itself says don't do this, but it happens anyway), just get take the more important story off the stack and work it, and repeat. If management changes priorities then reorder the stack and we will get to it.
Sharing a bathroom is hugely common for students or young people (even young "professionals") living in flatshares in Europe.
I just somehow doubt that they're bright people throwing billions of dollars around on this plan without having thought of that.

In Wall Street it's common for CEOs to make say 30 million dollars, not more, supervising sick but like SICK traders that haul in arbitrary amounts.

Also whalers in California, there were groups of guys like "we're a great team, we're men, we know how to swim, let's hunt Grey Whales" and hired a captain. On a ship it is imperative to do whatever the captain says, but that doesn't mean the hierarchy exists on shore with the money. There were also captains who hired sailors, more often.
> For non-tech people the code should be a black box they shouldn't know the internal details.

Ideally, yes, though in practice this usually breaks in various ways, especially when problems occur. E.g. the President of a country probably doesn't need to be a firefighter, but if there's suddenly a massive fire, I assume he'd need to be briefed in far more detail to help call shots around the type of response.

> In terms of refactoring there is no way to give a Cost Benefit analysis as that's too subjective.

I mean, you probably won't get a very correct Cost Benefit analysis, but you have to do something. The rest of your post is you describing that something - if you elect to spend 20% of your time on maintenance, that's effectively giving it a certain amount of weight compared to other things you can be doing with your time. That's certainly one way to work.

Personally, I think a more flexible approach is better. E.g. new startup-ish projects should usually spend a lot less time refactoring, for multiple reasons, whereas more established long-term projects should spend much closer to 20%, or maybe more.

Even when recognizing that there are a lot of bad actors in marketing, that's still an extremely over-optimistic perspective: at some point, tricking people becomes easier than improving the products, value propositions become muddier, and snake-oil starts to be used as the lubricant for business relationships. Only the most obvious offenders get run out of town, while most evolve and get to raise the new normal boiling point; as long as refining the snake-oil is cheaper than refining the actual products, the situation keeps getting worse.

Either the dynamics work in favor of the people, or they don't. That we continually mistake the comfort of our ships with the state of the sea is just the blessing and tragedy of our ignorance.
> It’s like they just view the terminal as some sort of obscure log file that no-one’s likely to look at.

From what I’ve seen of Java developers it’s more likely that they see it as an IDE pane that has filtering capabilities built in.
Sorry, I thought the address looked odd. I blocked it from search results with an extension long ago.
I have a friend who owns a condo in a building downtown that is almost empty of owner occupiers. The vast majority of the condos are rented out as airbnbs. She has no regular neighbours and most of the people she sees in the building are strangers.

When it reaches that level, it is a problem.
That's the opposite of post-production rendering isn't it?
This is not the case, in Europe, me and almost all of my peers (friends, coworkers) choose to live in flatshares. Renting a studio apartment wouldn't be much more expensive but it's just more fun living with other people :)
The question at hand concerns who pays the price when that slack runs out.
TL/DR: it's about readability and clarity of unfamiliar code.

One problem of large codebases is that they tend to be team efforts. Given a a sufficiently large and flexible language, each team member will find their own style and idioms for their code. This creates the subtle problem that team members are unfamiliar with each other's styles and when they touch the same pieces of code, they each extend the subset of used language features by whatever is required for their favorite idioms. Eventually, the resulting code gets too elaborate for its own good and maintainability goes down. A boring, simplified language ideally constrains the team to use more or less the same patterns and idioms and this side-steps the problem.
Correct, but it’s worth noting that ‘volatile’ in Java does provide atomicity.
IT vendors set to use headline inflation to justify price hike
Yeah they're pretty good on balance. I've not seen anything else that gets the core features so right.

The only thing that really drives me nuts about them is that they have a tendency to come out of Airplane mode by themselves. Bluetooth gradually drains them flat if I don't keep them constantly plugged in.

Since I've never really got the Ant+ networking to work reliably either I could probably do without any wireless features.

Sure, I tend to agree. Overall life satisfaction (e: in the long term) is higher for people with kids according to other studies, heh. So I think other studies confirm that notion. Social science studies probably don’t replicate well anyhow. But some do and it often reflects general wisdom as you pointed out. There is rarely a simple answer. Just live life and be present as a habit is my motto.
I guess it depends what kind of stuff you're working on. I do a lot of work with jax for my research (https://github.com/google/jax) and use functools.partial a lot.
In Java-land most people build and do dependency management with Maven or Gradle. In either case, these tools can pull from repositories based on the Maven format. The vast majority of popular libraries are in repo "Maven Central" and "just work" if added to your dependency list. A number of smaller, more specialized repos also exist, and it's trivial to add additional repos to your Maven/Gradle config as well.

You can search for libraries on mvnrepository.com, or your IDE can search the index. Also most libraries will include a section in the documentation that shows the details of the blob you have to put in your pom.xml / build.gradle file.
No, I think OP is advocating for a more balanced, community-oriented approach. The the moment AirBnB is a free-for-all, where externalities are unfairly borne by the local community. A better way would be to design a community-oriented system of rules that are applied when an owner wants to rent. For example, in this neighborhood, we allow up to X00 units to be rented during this quarter. It may change next quarter. (Or some regular period.) My point: Start small... let it grow, and allow for continuous community feedback.

Another way to interpret your comment, would be to replay the OP but substitue... hmm... oil/chemical refinery next to your house. Then how does it feel if random Internet stranger replies to your post: "So, basically, Not In My Backyard, no?" It sounds low empathy. My point: There are plenty of stories on HN/Twitter/Internet about living next door to a nitemare AirBnB rental that hosts loud drunken parties each weekend.
Employment involving any intentional misrepresentation is a con.

It's not complicated.

Not getting paid at all of course makes the con more consequential than finding out some of the claimed company background was faked.
>Even the talented people—you could take Dune, made by Denis Villeneuve, an extremely talented, gifted artist, and you could take No Time to Die, directed by…Gary?”

Cary Fukunaga.

Cary Fukunaga—extremely gifted, talented, beautiful artists, and you could take both those movies, and you and I could go and pull the same sequence out of both of them and put them together. The same sequence where the cars all crash into each other. They all have that stuff in it, and they almost have to have it, if they're going to justify their budget. And that's the good films, and the talented filmmakers.

It is interesting but when I watch Denis Villeneuve last films I really ignore all this genre thing because I'm so at awe of his execution. Similarly, when I first watched Tarkovsky's Solaris I quickly lost track of the plot but was drawn to the uniquely crafted cinematography and hypnotized by the deliberate manipulation of pace; at the end I was watching a movie by itself instead of contrasting it with my reading experience beforehand.
The same could be said about the seamless implementation of Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" into the Vietnam setting of "Apocalypse Now"

[Arrival has imho a very noticeable weak plot, it is only when you read the short story "Story of your Life" that it fits nicely in. Nevertheless once you ignore that apparent flaw, it is a wonderful shot movie.]

The "marvelisation" has gone so absurd that here you are in 2019 after dozens of franchises watching "Joker" (in parallel with another Joker version at the backdrop of Ledgers last peformance) which subversively utilized the marketing ploy into tricking the audience watching a deeply disburting indie-film about the chasms of our society depicted in a masterfully balanced unstable character drawing by an actor using nearly his whole skill set.

Cervantes as a prisoner of his time quite successfully played with the readers expectations of "chivalry romance" (a popular franchise back then) to express himself artistically in a new way we now call a "novel". You laugh and cry at the same time when reading through the book, a comedy, tragedy, persiflage, psychoanlysis, slap-stick ... it really is a mess.
Embrassing the mess is not something you can persuade "rational thinking" types in the movie industry making the decisions, so you trick 'em. Unfortunately nowadays you have to do a lot of lip-service. I don't know about Chloé Zhao but "The Rider" and "Nomadland" were great movies, I wonder what "Eternals" meant to her aside the recognition of entrusting her with a 200$ million budget.
No - At some levels and in some locations the employers literally are begging people to come work for them.

If you're outside the US, that may be a big factor - but my guess is it's a "you problem" based on what you've said above.
Canada only enacted the Emergencies Act when things got out of hand.

Firstly, the "ineffectual EU" stereotype is a well-known trope of anti-EU populist politicians, so I'm not sure what more should be proven to you?

Secondly, you say yourself, that OP does not in any way support their "ineffectual EU" statement, which is according to you not a problem. Not once did you see it as a problem. In fact, you go out of your way to hide away the implied associations in zwaps comment.

But when dxdm points out that it's a populist opinion, then you become the debate police.

Yes, that's hypocritical.
The observations about 95% percentile being good or not are distracting from the point that focused, reviewed practice is necessary to level up.
Readable is not a proposition, its a spectrum.

The beauty of JSON is that you can convert it to a more readable state. For example, an unjustify would force the correct enters, already improving readability (I still find it unreadable, but OK). Converting it to YAML would, in my opinion, increase the readability even further, but YMMV.

With the binary word processors, we had a vendor lock-in. Never again! If we got open standards, we can convert to/from another document format, including the Markdown language of your choice.

>because the reason you can't get anywhere without a car these days is marketing campaigns by the automobile and oil industry

We aren't all brainless automatons. Not everything is a giant conspiracy. Have you considered that there are people that actually like cars and find them convenient and useful? Cars and the highway system completely changed the course of commerce in this country. Sure, that has lead to some problems we're going to have to correct, but this idea that a bunch of moustache-twirling executives sat in a board room figuring out how to force cars on people is a bit much.

Reminds me of Twitter user @gathara who adopted a Western style of talking about African politics during the US election.

> A government can create full employment by creating jobs and forcing people to work. Why don't modern socialists support that?

I am myself a politically active Marxist and we do say this, but we also understand that this isn’t going to happen. Keynesianism was not a sustainable solution. It only bought time. Ultimately states in capitalist societies are in service of capital. In the US, realize the 1970s financial overhaul, including the Bretton Woods System, was the capitalist response to the New Deal giving workers too much power. 1960s inflation hit the ruling class and they responded by brutalizing the economy.

Is 2002 considered “vintage” now?

My wife is into antiques, and tells me that anything older than 25 years is "vintage," and anything older than 100 years is "antique."

However, there is some fuzziness with "antique," as some people put that line at 50 or 75 years, depending on the item. In those cases, 100 years is referred to as a "proper antique."
The Canadian government can still seize crypto funds from citizens, it just requires them to actually go through a due process, and perhaps get a court order or warrant.

What's going on in Canada right now is a disgrace that perfectly exemplifies why the legacy financial system is morally - and quite literally - bankrupt.

Find the right partner, but recognize no partner will be perfect as such. Be grateful for them, communicate, be honest with yourself and them.

A lot of people are saying this trend is about kids, and it might be. But at least in my experience there's maybe something else too, something about the internal relationship dynamics of trust and expectation. Early on I think there's a lot in a relationship based on expectations, and a certain distrust or something, even if you aren't aware of it. As the relationship continues, your expectations are not met in some ways, which interacts with distrust to cause issues. But then at some point those trust issues resolve, and you learn your positive expectations weren't too far off the mark either.

Every relationship is different. I'm not sure how you could prepare except to be patient, open, and empathetic.
I love seeing the graph shape up in realtime as I enter the data, well done on making the animations there fun and smooth.

This is just a laundry list of the usual anti-vaxxer "concerns". For example:

> On the other hand, the rapid process gave rise to questions about whether proper protocols had been followed and exacerbated concerns about how safe and effective the vaccines would be.

Notice the change in tense, "would be". Maybe in February of 2021 that was a concern, but by February 2022, there's so much vaccine in so many people that this particular concern is just laughable.

There's a second, larger flaw in what this article says: it gives all the agency to "progressives", the Biden administration, Fauci. Vaccine refusers are just tossed about by powerful forces they have no control over.

In short, this is just the usual mainstream media pandering.
It’s probably no longer useful to think about the state as an entity that cares about things like constitutional rights, or even as a separate “body” like the government, legislature or police.
Banks regulate so much of ordinary peoples lives. You say “most transactions require a bank account.” Not to mention the fed/central banking. Banks ARE the state. So I am not surprised if they are given the right or responsibility to KYC

> will there be work on making PREEMPT_RT a boot-time or run-time choice rather than build-time?

Given the performance critical nature of how this changes things I personally think it's unlikely. It does stuff like change the way spinlocks work in the Kernel which would be not only difficult, but expensive without recompilation. The best I think you'll get is a boot-time option to switch between pre-compiled kernels.

That being said, most of the RT Linux patches over the years are actually compiled in all the time anyway so a lot of these improvements have been incorporated for a long time.

I'm glad you like it! I agree it's not optimal to have to wrap existing functions. One option would be to decorate the functions as they're defined, although you cant do this for external functions.

In my perfect world, python functions would default to behaving as they do when decorated with better_partial.partial, but it seems like a long-shot to try to get something like this added to the language itself.

The Milton's brand cauliflower crust pizza (available at Costco among other places) is also pretty good. Not available outside the USA yet AFAIK, unfortunately.

Making the crust very thin is also an obvious way to reduce carbs, and using whole wheat crust also help, and using Khorasan wheat or similar whole grains.

For sweets, I adopted the snob diet: raise your standards so much the average supermarket chocolate bar just doesn't appeal any more, and you are less likely to snack casually :-)
Gorby appears to be the sole exception. Might have something to do with having close family killed in the famines, and tortured in the Gulags. Every European other regime fell under pressure from the streets.

Cuba is a tyranny. They've soften up to get European investment and tourists, but they're brutal in their indoctrination, imprisonment of dissidents, etc. They're also an important (and beloved) backstop preventing American domination in L. America.

Pinochet didn't fall, he basically handed over power peacefully. His (surprisingly liberal) constitution of 1980 established him as head of the armed forces (which he was until he died) and promised free elections. He allowed for a fair and free elections in '88 that he lost and whose result he respected paving the way for the 1990 presidential elections. Again he lost and respected the result.

He's also a murderer who slaughtered thousands of innocents, but that's peanuts compared what the commies have wrought.
