No prob, I'll be clearer. Phenomena may be indicated which, in form of episodes, very defined events, may be part of a "past", but the direction, inclination, patterns behind those events may still be lurking much later. (For instance, an expression of fascism ended in the forties, yet fascism may linger, emerge etc.) So, thin latency and occasionalities aside - minor traits and occurrences that just confirm exceptionality -, for the phenomenon to be over it must be uprooted. Unexpressed but latent is "not over": it remains of concern, it may express differently, it may re-explode.

Yes. And if I could get the perpetrators to raise their hands so I could work out an API for them, it would be the path of least resistance. But they take great pains to be anonymous, although I know from circumstantial evidence that at least a good chunk of it is various competitors (or services acting on behalf of competitors) scraping price data.

IANAL, but I also wonder if, given that I'd be designing something specifically for competitors to query our prices in order to adjust their own prices, this would constitute some form of illegal collusion.
The point of the numbers is to be a tool for the team, not management. If they get reported up it should be at most one level (immediate supervisor/lead, not middle or upper management). The information provided, assuming that the team is moderately consistent in their point assignments to tasks, is: Are we holding steady, slowing down, or speeding up?

Steady and accelerating are the good cases, slowing down leads to questions. "Why did we slow down?" "Oh, that task we gave a 1? Turned out it was actually huge because it involved X which none of us noticed or was more broken than we realized. Took up the entire time." Or "We brought two new people onboard and were spinning them up. They aren't productive yet and our experienced people were spending the time bringing them up to speed. We should get back to the normal flow in a few weeks." Or "We have no idea" which drives more questions. Or "We brought on two new people and spun them up, but now their estimate inputs are changing how our tasks are scored so it will take a bit to figure out our new baseline."

All of that assumes the team tries to be consistent in their scoring and is reasonably stable in its composition. If you're changing out team members frequently, then there is no value from points (because they won't be stable). If your team decides to fuck with it by rolling a die and using that for each one, then there is no value either.

When you change your processes in some way (and assuming a stable team and scoring), then you can also use the velocity over a series of sprints to evaluate the effectiveness of the change. If it hurts, you'll see a long term decline, and if it helps you'll probably see an initial decline (learning) and then improvement.
But you can insult conservatives by calling them Nazis and that’s ok on Twitter. You can call Clarence Thomas an “Uncle Tom” or a “House N—“ and that’s ok. But using a different pronoun as a political statement — that’s where the line is?

I like named volumes to be honest. They just should be able to have more than one letter, like Netware and Amiga had.
While you are probably technically right, I think you are over estimating the risks involved. The booster will be under a parachute, travelling relatively slowly, and there will clearly be many safety precautions and features involved. They will certainly have a stringent check list before proceeding with the attempt as well as some sort of fail safe cutting of the lies if something goes wrong.

I would expect the chance of a serious accident to be very low.

Also keep in mind these sort of mid air captures were well practiced by the US during the Cold War to capture returning photographic film from spy satellites. Although that was with airplanes not helicopters. A variation of it is actually shown at the end of James Bond Thunderball where he and the girl are rescued from a life raft via a balloon and capturing plane.
Also there should be a weight/fuel reduction for not having to hold enough fuel to land itself and every bit counts. Along with not having to worry about igniting/firing your rocket engines a second time in a flight which is reduced complexity and also allows for solid booster recovery.
Maybe just space them out more.

That is not at all what waterfall means. And calling "Agile" as the same thing as whatever the Manifesto says is like calling any other religion whatever their holy book "says".
If you kill network access, sure. I don't think the software itself makes any guarantees about data privacy. For me, as a linux user, it's more effort to get windows vms for these things, but I do them because the desktop ones are often cheaper.
> How does Bright Data acquire its residential IPs?

> Bright Data has built a unique consumer IP model by which all involved parties are fairly compensated for their voluntary participation. App owners install a unique Software Development Kit (SDK) to their applications and receive monthly remuneration based on the number of users who opt-in. App users can voluntarily opt-in and are compensated through an ad-free user experience or enjoy an upgraded version of the app they are using for free. These consumers or ‘peers’ serve as the basis of our network and can opt-out at any time. This model has brought into existence an unrivaled, first of its kind, ethically sound, and compliant network of real consumers.

I don't know how they can say with a straight face that this is 'ethically sound'. They have, essentially, created a botnet, but apparently because it's "AdTech" and the user "opts-in" (read: they click on random buttons until they hit one that makes the banner/ad go away) it's suddenly not malware.

I don't agree. If you own an asset worth a million dollars you are not working class. You may choose to work, but you are not forced to. IMO working class means you need to work to live. Choosing not to sell you home is not being forced to work in order to afford necessities.

The original study was timing how fast developers could solve a given task. The slowest took 10x the time of the fastest. With this setup you can't really get negative results. And participants who didn't finish the task were excluded from the results.

A summary of the research:
https://www.construx.com/blog/productivity-variations-among-...

I don't think there is anything wrong with the math, it is just that real-world productivity is not as easy to measure. The study didn't measure the "maintainability" of the resulting solutions, only how fast they were completed.
It feels a lot more like a dual os system than just running a vm inside of windows. The integration between the two is pretty seamless and powerful. e.g. this is in my wsl .bashrc file, it writes to my windows clipboard by running the powershell.exe windows executeable:

function cb () {
powershell.exe -command "\$input | set-clipboard"
}

Mac is unix sure, but they have diverged from the popular main stream linux distributions and you still need to learn various gotchas and different ways of doing things. At least for me, our deployment environment is amazon linux 2 and I use amazon linux 2 for wsl. I am also an sre, so maybe that matters to me more than most and unix is good enough for most.

Because that market segment is not large enough to easily justify RnDing your own laptop platform, nailing down the finer details, upscale that into mass production and then fight existing competition, all while keeping the price competitive.

And the rest of the world will do fine with the rest of the laptops. Or build desktops for specific tasks :shrug:

>> Conveyor belt

Not a technical term, i just meant a repeatable stream of environments being created

>> Hydrate

This one is a pretty common term, if you hydrate a schema then you just populate it with data

>> Mask

In many industries (health, finance, even more since GDPR and the ilk) production data can be sensitive, it might have Personally Identifiable Information for example. Masking is the process of taking a value from production and obscuring it but with plausible-looking data. It can be time consuming and gnarly.

>> DevEx

Developer Experience - usually i say DX but i stopped myself on that one when i was writing the comment!

>> not sure why I wouldn't see pipeline #4 in my build loop

It's part of your deployment loop for sure, but there's no reason it has to be part of your inner dev loop. You can continue on with your next task and be confident you'll start receiving telemetry from prod for your new feature's behaviour soon.

>> Unless you are trying to say that the environment is already running when the merge to master pipeline succeeds

Exactly this. The time for creating that env was spent async outside of your inner dev loop.
There's a lot of metadata available for IPs, and that metadata can be used to aggregate clusters of IPs, and that in turn can be datamined for trending activity, which can be used to sift out abusive activity from normal browsing.

If you're dropping 6 figs annually on this and it's still frustrating, I'd be interested in talking with you. I built an abuse prediction system out of this approach for a small company a few years back, it worked well and it'd be cool to revisit the problem.
That sounds like a regular webpage.
Some of the interactions are even too granular to make sense on mobile. I can't remember the specifics but there are some sequences that go like:

Do you need to adjust the value here? (Yes) (No)

... new page slowly loads ...

Do you need help calculating this value? (Yes) (No) (I don't want to change this value)

... new page slowly loads ...

What should the value be? (I'll enter it manually) (Help me calculate it) (I don't want to change it)

Like other than some basic wording changes, the third page already supports what the first two pages did. And depending how many stock trades are in your form you might have to repeat this loop a hundred times. It's really enraging.
I went from a 2013 Macbook Pro (died and haven't had time to fix it) to an HP elite x2 g4 Tablet running Linux and it's mostly what I wanted - https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMobileComputers/comments/s6k1qr... . It's felt more repairable than a surface pro, and haven't really encountered any linux issues.

I say this while having pretty meh experiences with earlier generation (~2019 and earlier) HP elite models used for work.
In my experience, I have never had an issue running them offline after downloading the updates and before inputing data.
That's what rate-limiting is for. Don't be so aggressive with it that you start hitting the faster visitors, however, or they may soon go somewhere else (has happened to me a few times).
> “Building the wrong thing on time and within budget doesn’t buy you much.”

Let's get one elephant out of the room out right away. Many in the #NoEstimates camp are speaking from the position of some enterprise context where the business technically has already built the right thing, they have revenue, aren't innovating much (by design), and as long as they keep the ship afloat and don't make too much of a mess of things, they're fine - or at least engineering isn't going to be the deal breaker.

Estimates or no-estimates in these context-- who cares. Literally anything you do on the engineering side means nothing to the upside of the specific product line you're working on, and if you look around you in these contexts, you'll find gross and massive inefficiencies abound and none will have anything to do with your dev process, agile, estimates, no estimates, what-have-you.

For the rest of us, you live and die by execution, which includes your ability to prioritize what you're delivering, all of which means nothing if you're not estimating - however indirectly or directly you are estimating.
I've had great experience with Dell as well.

But I'm reconsidering them from now on. One of my current laptops have a weird issue and I tried to purchase extended warranty for them to fix it. Only to discover they now only service machines up to 3-years old.
If I have to stake out a binary position here, I’m pro scraping. But I really wish we could find a way to be more nuanced here. The scraper in question is looking at public LinkedIn profiles so that it can snitch to employers about which employees might be looking for new jobs. That’s not at all the same as archival; it’s using my data to harm me.

IP bans are equivalent to residential door locks. They’re only deterring the most trivial attacks.

In school I needed to scrape a few hundred thousand pages of a proteomics database website. For some reason you had to view each entry one at a time. There was IP throttling which banned you if you made requests too quickly. But slowing the script to 1 request per second would have taken days to scrape the site. So I paid <$5 for a list of 500 proxy servers and distributed it, completing the task in under half an hour.
Not having good definitions of done is also a great way for a team to feel like it's treading water eternally. Small, achievable goals are a hack for team morale. (The trick is making sure that the small, achievable goals roll up into valuable long-term work.)
> Edit: if you want another example of a spec with good names, checkout WiFi 6. They realized that no normal person could reason about whether 11n or 11ac was better, so they changed the naming scheme to make it obvious what was going on.

Moving to WiFi 6 was a great idea!

Which they immediately made a mess of.

What version of WiFi has 6GHz support? 6e of course.

How about uplink MU-MIMO? Oh that's WiFi 6 Wave 2.
I am not versed in law, especially not in US law, but this case seems to be very specific that scraping is no violation of the CFAA. I do support this interpretation.

However, the case of scraping I personally find more problematic is the use of personal data I provide to one side, then used by scrapers without my knowledge or permission. I truly wonder which way we are better off on that issue as a society. Independent of the current law, should anything that is accessible be essentially free-for-all or should there be limitations on what you are allowed to do. Cases highlighted in the article: Facial recognition by third parties on social media profiles, facebook scraping for personal data, search engines, journalists or archives. (Not all need to have the same answer to the question "do we want this") Besides that, the point I care slightly less about is the idea that allowing scaping with very leisure limits leads to even more closed up systems.

Me: 20 years in the defense space business. Stating my own opinion.

This is basically right. The problem with space imagery is that almost everyone who wants it has a niche use case, and those few organizations without a niche use case (the US Weather Service, various militaries, etc) generally want imagery that's so specialized to their own problem that they have to spec, buy, and operate their own orbital assets.

Take Ukraine as an example. Leaving aside the moral question of whether a satellite imagery company should be profiting off the Ukrainian war, Ukraine appears to be using commercial orbital imagery providers to figure out Russian troop movements. That use case is not one any commercial provider anywhere is going to build an ML model for. But analysts working on behalf of Ukraine can absolutely either use raw pixels or develop their own ML algorithms that run on top of the raw pixels to find Russian tanks.

And almost every other potential user is similar. They're all looking for something different. Oil companies want to pre-screen drilling locations. NGOs want to look at deforestation in Brazil or methane leaks in Saudi Arabia. You could even go all the way down to individuals -- at the right price, individual farms might want to look at relative growth rates of corn in their fields, or soil moisture levels, etc. Or they might want to count heads of cattle or sheep, or... or... or.

The point being, outside of weather, which we already know how to get to end users without having them subscribe to an orbital imagery provider service, every customer is different, and what they want from the pixels is different. It's basically the long-tail problem. In order to be profitable you have to fill an enormous number of niche use cases.

We spend a huge amount of time using computers. Considering not just the share of time but also the share of concentrated attention, they are an even more important object in our lives.

Why would you not desire the tool you use to be the absolute best you can have? And if eating cornflakes is important to you, the Laguioles may be worth it. After all, they will probably last ten years or twenty. Compared to many completely irrelevant, even burdensome objects we own, that's not that much.

Bruce Sterling once held a talk about minimalism and objects which stuck with me, long before Marie Condo commoditized the trend. He basically said: Spend a lot of money on things that you eat or put on your skin, on your bed, on your tools and beautiful objects. Get rid of the rest.

At the core, what I cherish about Apple objects is that they don't steal my attention and efforts for some inferior, fake promise. Looking at them and using them is the same, there is hardly any broken promise. It's that integrity which counts.

I dream of a device that's basically a laptop without a screen, keyboard, trackpad, etc. Just plug it into a usb-c hub it restores everything from where I left off last time. Then once I'm done put it in my pocket and go.

Then if I do want a laptop I could buy a chassis with a battery, keyboard, trackpad, screen, etc, etc to dock my device above in to.

Edit: Seriously considering taking the motherboard out of a steam deck and making a custom aluminum enclosure for it that only exposes the usb-c port.

Since I'm not a tax professional at this time, I can tell you that your odds of being audited are somewhat random and usually very low unless your filing is off by a certain percentage in some fields/parameters. Lower income folks are more likely to be audited. The audit "defense" just means you'll get x hours of professional time if you were audited to represent you during an audit. On the whole, the odds of being audited are usually so small it's usually just free money for Intuit.
Nice! For my @dcskycam bot on twitter I do something similar. My files are stored to a NAS via SMB directly, so it never writes to the pi filesystem in order to limit read/writes from the sd card.

If you'll be running ffmpeg on a pi4b at 30fps or above I recommend limiting the dimensions to 1280x720 - I tried 1920x1080 and it took just as long to create the video as it did to capture the images :/
