Assuming a write-only interface, I think I could push the cost of writing 1TB of data to a floppy disk down to the cost of a single disk.

They are tied to Broadcom, who it seems unlikely would use RISC-V.

There are other RISC-V SBCs already though, couple of examples:

That's interesting, what I've read mostly says Orban took over most of the media, especially TV and that's been a big reason for why he won reelection. I'm guessing you're Hungarian, is that true?
I hate this company and their products so much. The only reason I ever use them is because every single middle manager is obsessed with Jira. Jira sucks and Atlassian is a terrible company.

Also, screw Atlassian for acquiring Trello.
Trello is also terrible software. It's basically a web interface for agile post-it notes.

Compared to decent project management software it has almost no project management features.
Rumour on the streets of Sydney is that the test instances and prod instances got mixed up in a database migration.
Writing is certainly safe at the moment. GPT3 can "write", but it can't write. It doesn't actually understand anything, and therefore it can't write anything that means anything. All it can do is create an appearance of meaning. But the longer you read it, the more you recognize that you don't actually understand it. It literally cannot be understood, because there's no actual content to be understood. All there are is words, with connections between them that are more or less grammatical, and superficial threads that persist for a few paragraphs. It makes for very unsatisfying reading.
It’s not hard to teach basics of algebra to small children. When you work with teaching analogies like “has two apples” all the time, it’s actually not that hard to get kids to understand that you can you can do math with “things” and that it doesn’t matter what the “things” are, so two apples and five oranges becomes 2a + 5b…

I don’t expect a 9 year old to do complex algebra but the fact that you can do math with placeholders is definitely within their grasp.
> In February of this year, Tesla — still refusing to acknowledge they’d accepted his vehicle as a return — sent Roman a message telling him his car, which he hadn’t seen in about two years, was ready to be picked up at a service center.

>Bemused, Roman emailed them and said he’d come pick it up. But then Tesla wouldn’t make an appointment for him to do so. They told him to call his bank instead.

Sounds like their software is a little wonky.
Kind of, but not really; you still have to configure each CI system to run Dagger.

I think it's a victim of godot's popularity.
I would really love to know how they trained dogs to lie motionless for 7 minutes in a noisy MRI machine.
Alternatively we could merge with the machines and all go virtual. But I am to believe that part of the humanity will remain explorers and will want to go beyond our star. That's where the physics kicks in. There simply isn't enough energy that can be mined and extracted from minerals.
Thank God. I hope it dies off. It is such a terrible bloated product. I spent more time waiting for it to load when I had to use it than getting actual work done.

Their pricing and feature breakdown across plans is a joke. Milestones, reporting and roadmap are all top tier features? They're base features on a product like this.
No, consider that they have an entire team dedicated to their WYSIWYG comment text field and it weighs in at over 20mb(!!!) of JavaScript for a text box.

Atlassian absolutely doesn't care about performance, it should've been obvious when they rolled out "new Jira" a couple of years ago and it was just as slow.

Their priority is adding new esoteric settings that their top customers demand, hence why their settings tab is a labyrinth of spaghetti complexity.
Surely this poll isn't actually a contributing part of Musk's decision making progress, and he's just begging for attention.
The overarching problem with the statement is soil is so different everywhere. And managed differently everywhere. You can't just make a blanket statement. If I was going to make a blanket statement I would be more concerned with erosion than nutrition because soil is an ecosystem that can be repaired. But if it is gone, then that's a different story.
I've done non-trivial projects in Phaser and Godot... I thought I would never prefer an editor oriented engine (after trying Unity), but I've done a complete 180* on that. Managing game objects and their inheritance tree in the editor makes life so much easier and less bug prone and attaching the scripts makes accessing relevant code much easier. Also, every feature in the editor UI seems to have a code counterpart.

Maybe it's just that Godot is incredibly good at what it does (for 2d game dev), but regardless, it's been a joy to use where Phaser was a drag. I don't personally have any use cases where I would go back to Phaser or any JS Engines like it.
I'm not suggesting it is faster than tmux, just that is is a fast alternative compared to some of the other alternatives. I'd recommend trying it out.

I don't think they're a monopoly. If Twitter vanished tomorrow, people would quickly move on to a host of other platforms. That's the sad truth about network effects: they can unravel shockingly quickly. My mayor tweets, but her office also uses email, text messages, postal mail, press conferences, and other tools to communicate.

The most recent annoyance for me is the fact that you can't use it as a simple issue tracking system.

Without firing up my work laptop I can't provide a precise number, but when you want to file a new ticket, there are at least a dozen options for a ticket type, and once you've created a ticket you're stuck with the consequences of your selection.

Just give me a single ticket type. Let me create any relationship I want between tickets. If I want to assign one ticket as parent for another one, I should be able to do that.
Nope not true. I worked 8+ years managing small to large teams. Doing very little work. And my teams were routinely outcompeting much larger teams. For example, a customer told me that my team of 15 routinely outcompeted a 75 person team at his company. I did it by clearly defining objectives, assigning responsibilities, and getting out of their way. The only key thing I had to do beyond that was to gently remind developers to focus on priority #1 when they got distracted and drifted off track.
My thoughts :) Get the mess solved here first. As a comment on your ideas - there are extremely powerful forces that would oppose any openness in logistics as it's filled with shady gangs. We need to act together to beat them off the market.
+1, I used it while it was still called Clubhouse and it was very pleasant. Its performance is the biggest thing I miss after changing jobs and having to go back to Jira.
the dials move, and reset when lever is pressed.
Speaking of consistency, IIRC the markup languages are inconsistent between Jira and Confluence. Why would you do that?
Unions are competing both for contracts with employers, but also for employees among other unions. If Union A is demanding but gives good pay, Union B is more laid back but has less reward, and Union C is both demanding and gives poor bay then it will fail as A or B grows.

If there are no competing unions and you're in union C, then you've got no options but to quit or try and topple the union (impossible, effectively).
If anyone is looking for alternatives, I’ve found Linear.app to be like a breath of fresh air compared to Jira.

All I was looking for after the slugfest of Jira was fast performance and keyboard shortcuts, and so far linear has been able to deliver.
It doesn’t just have to be helping your boss. From your reports’ point of view, it’s a matter of spending less time telling us how to do our jobs and spending more helping the boss figure out how to do theirs.

Because often the people doing the thing have a pretty good idea what’s possible and what’s not, and when the management wants unicorns they will be unhappy with everyone because all they are getting from them is ponies. Someone has to tell them that’s because unicorns don’t exist and they’re being not just unreasonable but unhinged.
May be I am too old fashioned but I have never been able to select apartments like this mathematically . Sure I have used methods like this to shortlist the apartments, but I still need to visit them and feel for the place before commiting to one place.
Russia has lots of people with access to technology and it also has wildly repressive speech laws. That combination makes it great for this example.
It's worse than that; even within Jira the editing contexts are completely inconsistent. And the cache behavior is apparently nondeterministic. It boggles my mind that such awful UX is tolerated in software used in so many companies. It's like Atlassian put all its eggs in the "crack the enterprise sales code" basket, met wild success, and that was all they were capable of. If my job required me to work in Confluence and Jira all day I'd change my job or my career.
This article reminds me a lot of Tanizaki’s In Praise of Shadows essay about Japanese aesthstics. For some reason a point that always stuck with me is it is much more relaxing to use the bathroom in the quiet dark obscurity of the traditional Japanese outhouse than in a bright electrically lit porcelain western bathroom. I kind of think about my house design like this- with some intentionally dark, relaxing spaces.
There’s running your own mail, then there’s running your own mail from residential. The dozens of us who do the former mostly don’t do the latter, thanks to the obvious vicious cycle.
Supply chain is a black box with people who are aggressively not interested in transparency. So the approach is to model the black box as good as we can, and start cutting away the pieces with automation.

Godot, hands down. It's incredible and is close to releasing version 4.0 which has massive 3d improvements, if that's your thing. Documentation is 1st rate and the community is the best I've seen for game dev.
Well said. Judging historical figures by modern standards isn't fair. We should look at each person as a flawed human being and take away lessons from what they did right and what they did wrong.

Wait, do people really have a low reputation of Atlassian? The picture o had in mind was that that pay top $$$, are remote friendly, etc. I would have expected their stuff to be much better...

I agree this can be an issue, however in this case it’s actually a meta-analysis of several studies so the wording is a bit more justified here.
Not my experience at all. I worked as a manager of small to large development teams for 8+ years and my conclusion is that great developers can be cheap, and bad developers are always expensive (because of their negative productivity/impact).
Wasn’t clear from the article.

So an earthquake buried a Roman town, people built on top of the rubble, then another quake sent the rubble down the hill uncovering the ruins again?
Yes, and humans are amazing at pattern matching given any kind of hints, so just knowing the themes, etc give a person a leg up.
But, of course, we will never admit that Java is a fucking abomination and designed by brain dead degenerates.

And yes, I studied programming languages before coming to this particular conclusion.
The main thing with Atlassian is they royally screwed over all their customers by discontinuing their most popular product and forcing everyone to cloud using really, really unsavory tactics. The only product remaining you can use without cloud had its price increased by an order of magnitude. And, they offered a discount to on-prem customers who signed up for it, and after the fact announced a price increase at least equal to the discount they were offering.

They have decided to treat their customers worse than Oracle does, with nothing but threats that you can make the pain stop if you just go with cloud. They’re an absolutely despicable company.

So after enduring all this, there’s a huge amount of schadenfreude that customers are experiencing watching them be down for so long. They absolutely deserve it.
What the heck really?

I had the complete exact opposite experience. I actually do wish we are still on jira.

it's slow. It's filters make no sense. It's entire flow make no sense.
I've used both Godot and Haxe(outside of Heaps, but there are several Haxe game engines and frameworks).

Godot is better for just shipping small game projects; everything's in one place with an IDE that you can extend, and the design limits imposed by Godot are mostly a matter of how detailed a scene you can support. Those limits are not a barrier most indie devs are really facing - you can sink millions of dollars into a game without really needing special engine code, and because it's all open source, adding a patch for the things that do need some customization is not unfeasible. The barriers are much more likely to be in finding good tutorials, documentation, etc which Godot has accumulated plenty of, albeit not as many as Unity.

Justifications for using Haxe come from a systems development viewpoint. It piggybacks on your other technology to add a layer of portability and options for repurposing code; e.g. if you want to debug and test with interpreted code but then compile it for performance, Haxe gives you several means of doing that. Easy things tend to be slightly harder just due to the nature of its cross-platform functionality, but very hard things also become possible for the same reason. Haxe the language is very good, especially considering what it's aiming to do, but it helps to have some familiarity with the technology you are targeting through Haxe first, since things like standard library functions will follow what their host environment does, which means it is not really a "write once compile everywhere" kind of deal. But if you're really set on exploring engine tech from the beginning, Haxe is a useful way to build up portability, since you can slip its output into a codebase gradually. And engines that build on Haxe are generally coming from the mindset of solving those deep technical issues, which means they often have a great pedigree but aren't the easiest to get started with(since they assume you know what you're doing and what you want out of the tech).
I forgot one of my frustrations: when it’s time to create a ticket, the board selection drop down doesn’t display the full board names, so there’s a few seconds of friction while I try to remember which board I want based on a truncated name.

Or, often as not, I create it on the wrong board and can’t move it.
Could it be related to this? https://mobile.twitter.com/Gi7w0rm/status/151278985519709389...

Further down they mention Atlassian is affected. Unsure what to make of it
Something similar happened to me. My advisor gave me a bad reference at a place I wanted to work because he wanted me to go somewhere else.
I'd say what this all proves is that a free market and private sector is much better at those things than a communist'y government-run project.
> Update - Restoration work to restore sites is underway and will continue into the weekend. We are taking a controlled and hands-on approach as we gather feedback from customers to ensure the integrity of these site restorations.

I’ve seen failing Kickstarter updates with more information than this.

Anyway the title isn’t wrong per se but it might be more informative to say a subset of tenants using Atlassian’s SaaS products are down.

If you use any of their products on prem … they are not down. And if you’re not one of the affected tenants then your Atlassian products are fine. At work we have Confluence hosted by Atlassian and it’s up.

According to The Register:

> We were also told that the incident affects a relatively small number of Atlassian customers: about 400. That's only 0.18 per cent of the company's 226,000 customers, which isn't much consolation to the several hundred who still can't access their data.
The thing I noticed is you seem to be associating the seizure of the license as some form of guilt, where as sat least to be it seems like the equivalent of a “but don’t leave town” warning from the cops. You’re not guilty but you are under investigation to determine if you are guilty, so they politely ask you to not run away in case they have any more questions that could help prove you innocent (I’m obviously putting aside the fact that reality doesn’t work this way anymore for loads of reasons when it comes to the police). The same goes for your license, you are involved in an incident where you being an irresponsible driver is one possible result, preventing you doing further irresponsible driving is justified prior to the conclusion of the investigation and has nothing to do with innocent or guilty.
"I can't even imagine how the Founders would react to things like the PATRIOT Act."

That might not be the best argument. Remember that the First Amendment passed only a few years before the awful Sedition Act, which would never pass modern judicial review.
The main point is the uncertainties are underestimated, cause you can confuse a heavier Z boson for a W if one of the muons to which Z decays escape detection and so the event looks like a muon-neutrino decay of Z. The author seems to doubt that the way the data is corrected for this is really that precise.
Companies that doesn’t offer flexible WFH will be less competitive in the jobs market. In other words, companies that force everybody to be in the office 5 days a week will end up with developers that can’t get jobs anywhere else.
Put a sleep(60000) in every request of your own webapp and it will still be more responsive than JIRA.
As far as Confluence competitors go, in the vicinity of 2010 there was a lovely MediaWiki fork called DekiWiki (later MindTouch Core). It was easy to set up and use, fast, WYSIWYG editing, attachments. Unfortunately Mindtouch (the company) pivoted into- well, I never quite understood what, but it didn't involve developing deki and it became defunct. It would have been very interesting to see where it stacked up today if it was kept alive.

I asked GPT-3 for sing requests and it was like: “The first caller requested _____ by ______. The second caller requested _____ by _____. The third caller…”

It didn’t seem to know any musical artists or songs. It was weird. When I asked for song suggestions the best it could do is write bad poetry.
This author seems to have rediscovered the two fundamental forces of gambling but I prefer the names "hotness" and "dueness". (Something is "hot" if it has happened more often than expected recently, and "due" if it has happened less often.) Belief in "hotness" is actually promoted by casinos, e.g. it's common for baccarat dealers to say something like "ties repeat" after a tie, probably because it's a way to encourage gamblers to parlay their winnings into a larger bet on the next event.
I get that a coin toss is independent and multiple of them can't influence each other. However, I always found the Gambler's Fallacy confusing. Empirically the coin should should converge to 50% of the flips reading Heads, so why does betting on a Heads not make sense when you've been seeing too many Tails?

And yes, I realize that after n flips of Heads, the probability of the n + 1th flip being Heads or Tails is equal. i.e. P(Heads) ^ n * P(Heads) = P(Heads) ^ n * P(Tails), because P(Heads) = P(Tails) = 0.5
Correct. It's only a small percentage of users.
Just avoid the ui and use the CLI instead.

Evaluating this for a client, I’m unclear on how this works with PHI under HIPAA, do I still need a BAA?

This comment started as a joke and now I’m genuinely thinking about it; also from the disk usage claims which make it clear they’re not storing the data, would a service like require a BAA? It’d have to be encrypted at rest, so assuming that was true, and assuming that the data actually got stored (presumably as cold storage) I’m thinking it’d still require BAAs…
+1 to this.

It’s how I approach life so far: Every chance I get to proof something, I go do it but always mindful that I have to design my approach such that, if it turns out to be the wrong path, it doesn’t cost me too much.

In the end, it turned out that where I stared at (software engineering), was the place I wanted to be. It wasn’t lost effort though because I ended up using the other skills I picked along the way.
Not once have I wanted reporting or roadmap functionalities as an engineer. Those are management functions, and task management software should serve the people performing the tasks (engineers) first and foremost. Milestones, that’s a bit debatable but still doesn’t seem like core functionality when you have labels and epics.
I don't quite understand this. I've been using Jira and Confluence all day. What's the problem?
