This is weird to me in a thread about requirements gathering. The OP isn't making the case weighing good, but slow, programmers and bad, but fast, programmers. They're specifically calling out C2 moving slowly to gather requirements and talk with the product/design team. Which is very likely NOT a "technical purist" type, since I doubt the technical purists are the kind to give two shits about the domain (I'm one of them, even though I realize caring about the domain is now my job as Lead, doesn't mean I have to like it).

If C1 delivers quickly on bad requirements, there is no guarantee that product will make revenue. Ask any startup founder who started building a product before doing market research and validation.

I think when we add the archetypes of "fast but sloppy" and "slow but clean", we end up with more permutations than C1 and C2 since the matrix looks more like:

[ Business Oriented, Technology Oriented
Quick/Sloppy , Slow/Clean ]
Because it's more likely to actually happen that way.

I've tried composting, and don't have the patience for it. Lots of folks live in apartments or places with HOAs that forbid it.

There's also the benefit that industrial composting can process things like dairy and meat safely that can't be home-composted.
Indeed, it is possibly a best case scenario for the US, in the sense that now we are getting an example of what happens when a leader pushes through sanctions and it gives us a sense of just how catastrophic a Chinese invasion of a foreign neighbor would be.

So far, it also shows that the theory that a strongly interconnected economy can prevent war is pretty moot. The EU and the US applied just about every economic sanctions (except imports of oil and gas in the case of EU) and Putin won't stop.
I think the stability vs. flexibility issue is more nuanced.
Plenty of kid-oriented tools and instructional content share that "telling stories" element; it's a compelling way of picking up on humans' raw social intuition and using it to work on complicated problems. Perhaps some variation on Scratch could make for an intuitive and kid-friendly introduction to subjects that are often considered obscure, such as distributed systems and the formalisms used to reason on them like the Temporal Logic of Actions.

Recursion would be comparatively easy; you could even teach linear logic by endowing your "characters" with an inventory of objects that they could pass on to each other and transform by acting on them, a common trope in adventure games.
Sadly this is one of those instances where most Americans really don’t care, and the government will do everything I can to ignore it, so long as Saudi Arabia is supplying us with oil.

that’s just capitalism
For items that must happen specific dates, it doesn't. I admit that. That's the role of a calendar with notifications.

But as far as doing things in the future but not at a specific time, reading the plaintext every morning for the focused tasks, or every week for the high-level roadmap, works for that.
Ethics isn't just some kind of transitive property.
No, it's not "all the same". What you see as extra and harder visual tasks is actually easier for many. Is it that hard to imagine that when coming up with "I need a loop here I guess" a young kid could find it easier to find the loop bubble than remembering the loop syntax and typing it correctly and not getting frustrated by syntax errors?
Contra to most of the comments here, I found a lot to agree with in this article:

> You have no soul as a company at that point, you’re just trying to make money with other people, rather than help people with a problem that you know. You may think you have an idea, but it’s not good enough yet.

I think this is the crux of the difference. If you want to have a successful startup, you have to believe that you deserve to exist and believe you have something unique to offer. You cannot just "show up and listen" and get paid the big bucks.
This is real neat.
The advantages of using trees to clean up contaminated soil are clear and very interesting. What are the downsides of wood with a lot of heavy metals? I guess you wouldn't want wood filled with lead inside your house for example?
Have you tried Population One? It is surprisingly fun, the only downside is the hardware you need to play it comes from Zucky.
There are several of us. I'm also one of the devs.
It is quite annoying been working now for 16 years in the industry and seeing someone straight out of uni make more than me really rubs me the wrong way.

I suck at interviewing though (nervous) and in my area of the world I'm quite well paid.
Russians would argue Russia is just Russia.

I don't think the West disagrees.
Well that’s just greed, or driving the base price down by subsidizing with ads. So paying won’t prevent this, but if a product is “free” you can be pretty much certain it’ll be riddled with ads.
I think that's an elegant addendum.
The US is producing record levels.
All our current poplar trees are female and do not produce pollen, thus instilling a low fertility rate while maintaining the integrity of the tree to integrate with local ecosystems.

We take an ecosystem approach to everything we do. This includes understanding the interrelationships among species in a given location as well as understanding the economics to help local land stewards thrive. With access to over 17,000 tree variations, we are focused on identifying the most helpful species for a given local area.

We focus on carbon projects that create true additionality. We focus on restoring land that has been degraded or is underperforming. We are specifically interested in abandoned mine land, reclamation land, former range land or farm land. We also work with farmers to plant trees alongside agricultural crops for shade management, riparian buffers and windbreaks.
That's how pure capitalism should work, right?
They did, yes.

I’m not qualified to know whether or not this counts as some kind of fraud, but it was the final straw for me to stop using these delivery services once and for all after other unrelated negative experiences with them.

> The "west" has never really aided with or aligned with India.

Maybe the "west" should.

We used to assume that every country will eventually become democratic, but recent years have shown there's quite a bit of pushback. But Russia and China would love to undermine the idea of democracy, and show it to be weak in ineffective. I think we've taken democracy for granted too much, and we should take it more seriously. Including supporting other democracies, when necessary.
So funny :) I was on storage but was "moonlighting" on Iris for my last couple months at FB — what a small world!

Feel free to shoot me an email if you don't want to wait, although the list moves fairly quickly these days.
Ugh, I want to be positive about this, I really do, but I just seems wrong to me on so many levels.

We didn't even understand basic things about trees till like a few decades ago leading to stupidly counterproductive practices like spraying glyphosate all over public lands to create 'free to grow' tree plantations on what used to be forests.

All of this is done by forestry companies on public land.

If trees needed to photosynthesise faster they would already be doing it.

The fact that they aren't using this adaptation (or some other one) means that probably photosynthesis speed is already being traded off against some other factor in their communities (they form relationships with other species which we barely understand).

Edit: About those free to grow plantations? It turns out that they were trying to get rid of Alder which they thought was competing with Spruce. It turns out that the Alder were feeding the Spruce seedlings instead.
I remember Tortoise SVN. It integrated with Windows Explorer. You right clicked and got your history, committed, and did all the operations you needed. What a great tool...
I think this assumes that only Certain Blessed Special People could create Google, Microsoft, Apple, Tesla, SpaceX, and so on. I think there are a lot of people out there who could start and/or run one of these. The population of entrepreneurs is limited by the number of potential commercializable ideas, not by the number of people who can do it. If people just stopped at $50M, it would open things up for even more entrepreneurs to make shots like those companies. Currently, a small number of already-rich people are using up all the economic oxygen in the room trying to get richer.
Yeah, and the net effect is that they're shooting themselves on the foot: I don't even pick up phone calls anymore. And I don't think I'm alone in this: most families and friends claim only to answer calls of close contacts. Legitimate services nowadays just contact you in WhatsApp instead.
way off the mark. Moscow and St. Petersburg, maybe.
I remember many years ago getting a random phone call from someone who claimed they were a detective investigating a case. The detective sensed my skepticism right away over the phone and suggested that I look up the phone number for his police department, and to ask for badge number ZZZ when I call. I called back, everything was above board, they came and interviewed me (they wanted to see if I still had something in my possession which I thankfully did), they made a mark on the item to indicate that they had seen it already and I never heard from them again. Though I wonder if they ever caught whoever it was that was using that item ...
I would also add to this do not be a box ticker. Yes we need policies and certifications but a piece will not make you secure. You need a culture of security, that means both paper AND technical.

Also, remember that you can achieve the best outcome when you adapt best practices to the specific context. Just because every other place you've been at does it a given way doesn't mean that is the right solution for your new company. Yes, solutions have to work and meet the requirements, but no they don't need to use the same products or techniques you're used to.

The more you can adapt security to the way people work the more effective it will be.

No, it's not. Far more capitalism in many other countries operates with workforces that have been there for generations. We used to offer pensions here in the US, that is still going elsewhere and in government

Current AMD chiplets come with a maximum of 8 cores.
That was one of the arguments for globalization. But what we see is there are only a few big actors, who will remain big actors for centuries if not forever due to their size and nuclear capabilities. One of the three biggest actors showed they are willing to destroy everything despite sanctions, and no doubt will permanently change their supply chain to avoid too much pain in the future. So the ship has sailed, likely forever.

Just like in the corporate world, modern power consolidates. For smaller countries "soft power" from globalization can work because the relationships are extremely lopsided, and likely will well into the future - based on how the pie of vassal or semi-vassal states is divided in the next couple decades.
> Notably, modern OSes can be pretty finicky about menu drill downs and outright user hostile. It’s pretty easy to lose an entire drill down by moving the mouse a couple pixels one or another way too far, for instance.

The Mac basically solved this problem in 1986 when Apple first introduced hierarchical menus. To make it work, the UI layer has to be able to avoid strict hit testing of the mouse cursor during menu tracking, which I would conjecture is probably difficult in some environments.
Why are they scrapping it? Isn't it useful?
As an owner on the account, I kept getting an error that I didn't have permissions to see the billing pages.

I contacted support and the first thing they asked is which browser I'm using. Brave.

EU is still buying gas from Russia but plans are being cancelled. German pipeline has been cancelled, and EU plans to minimize use of Russian gas in the coming years.

Last I heard Russia was losing money on oil as they had discounted it heavily and now had to ship it, instead of using pipelines.

Saudi Arabia is not Russia, and Russia is invading a democratic country that is a part of the western world and like it or not Europeans can relate to Ukrainians. People care more when their friend gets sick vs someone they don't know. Plus, Ukraine conflict just got a lot of traction and is extremely popular.
I disagree. Porn has long term effects on the brain. It desensitizes the mind to what the reality of sex by showing a fake reality that is maximized to drive horniness. It plays on the fantasies of the mind and makes them into a reality with the camera. I have completely stopped watching and noticed a great deal of benefit in my sex life and I am not some stereotypical internet porn addict. Porn requires a great deal of responsibility in consumption and regulation.
>> "I did it, so it can be done," Legault replied. "Anyway, will a million dollar racket will (sic) make you defeat Federer or Nadal?"

My wife is a not-bad-for-an-amateur photographer of family events etc and any time she takes a good photo people ask "What camera did you use?"

I wonder if people used to go up to Shakespeare and say "Great play. What quill did you use?" Not that I'm comparing my wife to Shakespeare, but I could thrash around with an expensive DSLR for ages and not get a photo as good as a pro with an iphone 7. It's not the camera that makes a good photo.
Weird thought occurs to me... it's expensive to just "hang out" in public spaces these days. When people come to my house, they tend to hang out in the kitchen/dining room while I cook. So now I'm picturing a giant communal kitchen with a bunch of individual cooking stations and dining tables.

Maybe this is a terrible pre-coffee idea and I don't want to leave the safety of my kitchen.
I think there is a huge opportunity to use Seaweed or Algae for fertilizer.

Theres ways to do this on each coast but also to utilize the Pig and Cow farming waste to not only clean water in the process but to take major waste producing industries and try to soften their impact.

I think the more people that know about the use cases of Seaweed and Algae will help that industry come back. There were too many companies that only saw Algae as a way to make bio fuel. I see it as a way to clean dirty water, and to produce a bi-product that can go back into the ground.

I also think theres a way we can just use the warmer waters and the over production of seaweed, like the gulf coast especially closer to Mexico. So much seaweed is scrapped from the beaches but never used at scale for production
So has ULA and Lockheed. Experience only gets you so far.
Same botched logic that says we shouldn’t invest in light rail / subways.

The incumbent advantage never favors progress.
that was partly my fault.

Kids are into what kids are into. I have introduced every 'STEM' toy on the market for my kid, plus played with Scratch, Arduino, Python etc with them. Gave them a laptop running Linux when they where 8. They don't care and are completely uninterested in any of it.
I believe (not really studied myself, but as with most things in life, I only do enough research on how to choose who to believe, not really KNOW MYSELF, reality is so complex that I don't have enough time to really know, and even if I do have time, I'm often not genetically predisposed to be good at it, so I still dont decide for myself, only who to believe)

that you should do keto or carnivore. Feel free to read or believe the vegan doctors or the keto/carnivore ones. But I've made my choice and I ~mostly have been right in my life, including this. Feel free to become a psychiatrist/psychologist/sports-science and do your studies and bring a better way.

Until then, eat keto/carnivore with the best red meat you can afford. And then worry about the world. And humans are smart enough to fix this particular issue.

Haha oops, thank you for the clarification.
Good. I think Putin is a terrible person, and the war against Ukraine is awful. However I think social media needs some level of neutral discourse such that no one should really be outright advocating for killing anyone.
Side question but I'm curious if anyone knows, where are we heading with this constant decrease in nm for chip manufacturing processes? When will we hit a wall and where will gains in performance come from then?
> Apart from the ereader feature, how does Kobo compare against Kindle

I can't compare directly with Kindle, as the last one I used was a couple of years ago.

But the features that directly appealed to me are stylus support for two of the latest models: Elipsa and Sage.

It has support for Overdrive as far as I know (though not in all countries). It has support for dropbox. It supports more formats, which makes it a favourite for sideloaded manga/comics reading.

It's easy to root and run your own code on it, there's a pretty healthy community of modders out there. Under the hood is just a linux machine.

The Dangers of Product Longtermism
No not really. The CEO has to balance between the "fix nothing" CTO and "fix everything" CISO. I'm exaggerating a bit of course, in reality it's a blend, but in general the CTO and CISO often have opposite/incompatible goals. The CTO wants to ship fast and ship often, which the CISO doesn't want to ship until everything is done. The CEO ultimately needs to decide where to put the line, and a good CISO will execute under that and escalate when needed.
NATO, not the US, and because they’re asking us to.

Also it’s a chilling return to a Soviet era Europe in a way that hasn’t happened since WW2. The whole world is watching to see what a country can get away with, nearly 80 years after Hitler’s Germany.
Russia and US have been fighting via proxy wars for decades. So in this case it's less about helping Ukraine, and more about thumbing our nose at Russia.
Varying from the corporate norm of ensuring every single bit of promotional material you have correlates with a representative sample of the population sticks out like a sore thumb. I don’t know why people are feigning shock that people found it remarkable.
More cost-effective to do it at a centrally processed location + you can capture methane and utilize it either as renewable natural gas or process it into fuel cell grade hydrogen. As well more people opt-in since not everyone has to learn how to properly compost all they need to do is source-separate.

I find the concept of calling people out for using terms that are dog whistles quite problematic. By their very nature, dog whistles are terms in widespread innocent use, and as such the majority of the people using the term will using it in its ordinary usage in good faith. We shouldn't assume people are using these terms as dog whistles unless we have some other evidence to suggest that.
But the increase is not about the storage price it's about the API calls if I'm right?
> Hahaha, oh god. Those entire article and discussion is all about implementation detail of date time storage, and why it does effect things.

Please keep a more respectful tone.

I disagree. It's talking about much higher level things, things which are both more interesting and harder to solve.

> Every meeting involving humans involves a physical location

Yes, but not necessarily one predetermined one.

> So you need pick somewhere

It's one way to do it, but it's not the only way. E.g. UTC is not a place. As I understand it the US military is heavy on Zulu.

> Great, so your contribution to this topic is to state the obvious, then say be careful, edge cases exist.

I'm sorry you don't understand my points about what is hard about time programming.
The part you're utterly missing is that, depending on the brain, steps 3 and 4 in for the visual tool may be immensely easier than step 3 in the text tool, so that they are performed as a simple no-think direct-manipulation operation that requires no effort at all, while the "write out the syntax" step may be a slow, painful and error-prone process of trial and error until you put in all the right characters in the correct order and get the damn parser to stop complaining. You seem to be wired to accept the later as trivial and the former as hard, but some of us are really exactly the opposite.

I know for certain that this is how I see writing programs in pure text, to the point that I stopped programming in traditional languages; my brain is too high-level oriented to remember all the pesky little details that APIs and formal syntax require; give me high-level programming blocks that you just invoke and place with a few gestures any time.

Unfortunately there are very few general-purpose visual languages, so my options at building automated systems are limited; although fortunately this is starting to change, and a new breed of powerful no-code and low-code tools is appearing that shows promise, so I'll be able to build complex systems again by using high-level concepts as building blocks, without being slowed down by bloody trivial syntax errors.
As someone with a medium to large scale farm, the fertilizer price rises have been pretty severe. Already up about 40% over last year. It's really a confluence of factors. Natural gas is required to produce ammonia (it's about 80% of the cost), and usually the the prices of both move together, but this has outpaced those global fuel increases. Supply chain disruptions, increased demand, new tariffs on urea, higher fuel costs have all contributed.

Fertilizer accounts for about 35% of the input costs for my farm (corn and beans) and 25% for other crops so price changes have a pretty significant impact. There's pros and cons, price increases means less fertilizer applied and lower yields, but also less environmental impact and runoff/leaching.
I know it's macabre, but there is a certain literal sense in that.
But Ukraine isn't in NATO and East Ukrainians identify as Russian.
"so cheap" might be a bit overly relative in this usage..
The 3rd CISO sounds just like the 1st with extra buzzwords.
If you take 'voxel' to mean '3D pixel', then how does Veloren not fall into that category? What does "real voxels" mean? If you're talking about rendering things as point-clouds or using raycasting, then you're not describing voxels. You're just describing one of many possible techniques for rendering voxels. Isosurface extraction into a polygon mesh is also in that set and is no less valid than the definition you're going for.
Does the high metal concentration in the trees cause leeching issues at end of life? Any issues when the trees are burned?
Wall clock time should never be used to measure time when these seconds matter. Like I said in grandparent comment:

> for time measurements you should always use a monotonic clock, not wall clock.

POSIX time isn't a time elapsed standard. Yes. But neither is iso8601, timestamp+timezone, everyday speak time "tomorrow at noon", or any of these other options.

So I'm not sure what your point is, other than to say that a hammer is not a screwdriver.
