So you dislike the entire new show starting with the Ninth Doctor, not just the more recent series. That's important context. FWIW I'd argue that the Eight Doctor also had a heavy romance subplot, so I guess your cut-off is 1989.

That's all percectly reasonable but I don't see how this has anything to do with the discussion related to the article, given that the new Doctor Who show started in 2010, Netflix only started doing its own productions in 2013 and most complaints about "too much politics" tend to be about media produced in the mid-2010s onwards (the Ghostbusters reboot was released in 2016).
Between clicking on/off at least once a day, and changing batteries once a year, I'm picking changing the batteries. I'd also guess most people would just leave it on. They may have already tried that.
Agile's crisis (which is real) is because despite the generativity of the manifesto, the frameworks it spawned largely ignore how change happens in a healthy and sustainable way. It is deeply ironic how much the Agile industry leans into 1990's models of change (solution-driven, imposed, etc).

That explains an awful lot. When people think that it's enough that they're right, bad things happen. Agile doesn't actually need a theory of society to understand that, just a little humility.

I think for that to work you'd either need some sort of "perpetual students" who hang around a long time, or a reasonable percentage of people enrolling later in life than is typical (and possibly even enrolling as a student after earning a degree elsewhere).
Mostly it isn’t unless it is one of those jobs that isn’t needed most of the time but sometimes like for example a soldier or rural fire service and some bean counter thinks yeah we can slash that.

Getting rid of the job gets rid of the people with experience, so it can be a one way switch.

Normally solving a problem with a robot creates more jobs. There are speed cameras, but still you have hidden manually operated speed traps and it frees up resources for drug and alcohol testing.
Voltage doesn’t tell you much about the state of charge of a battery (especially with no load being applied), and there may not be much energy left at a battery ‘floating’ at 3V. The cutoff may have more to do with saving money on the power circuitry than what the designer thought was a ‘dead battery’.
One's disinterest or inability to do math has no bearing on the quality of a math problem.

Hey there Anton! Cool project! I have seen your CodeJar project so I already know you.

Few questions:
- Is eval from CLI planned? (Something like `fx -e 'JSON code here...'`)
- How do you support 3 different languages for writing reducers?
- How is this different from other tools (like `jq`)?

Have a nice day! And liked your project! :)
It’s from 2013, and mentions China’s plans to end this practice by 2015. Does anyone know if they succeeded?
That's a very personal take but I don't think this genre of game would be beneficial or even appropriate. I can see it in other comments with how people who play these types of games react, it doesn't really "educate people about the challenges these people face", quite the opposite, it gamifies real struggles and makes it look like a lifestyle choice rather than what it really is: a bad situation people find themselves in and that puts their life in danger especially in some countries.

The result of that is looking down on poor people as "they just aren't good at the game" except it's their life at play, not a high score or virtual currency. People who enjoy "janitor simulators" would very likely not enjoy having to scrub toilets all day long for minimum wage, people who enjoy bus driving simulators would very likely not enjoy having to deal with grumpy and sometimes violent passengers in real life, but they don't realize that, they look at the game and think "it's not so bad it's even fun I could totally do that for real". I don't think we need people to start thinking "being poor is kinda fun lol it's just about management".

A game that accurately portrays poverty would not be fun to play, and nobody would be playing it, because there's no end game and no win for a lot of people in poverty and many simply stay in that situation their whole life. Otherwise, just play GTA, that's as fun as it gets for a "start poor become billionaire" game.
Backups are for the whole server at the moment and include mounted volumes and databases. Hoping to add per-pod snapshots a bit later. Helps that we already run a backup service. More on this planned feature here: https://feedback.pikapods.com/posts/14/offer-backup-option

Updates arrive a few days after they are released and if you keep the ‘automatic updated’ setting enabled. We do some rudimentary QA before deploying updates.

It’s definitely for long-term hosting. Many pods have been running for months (we had a public beta since around January)

Yeah, I do software and Ive found the same thing: if I’m building it, then I’m actually the first user of the software, and I have all sorts of feedback for the designers. Luckily I’ve worked with some great designers who were usually more than happy to adjust the designs though.

Just as a note to the author what you saw the engineers do was SCRUM not agile. Most argue that SCRUM is agile I'm not 100% sure of that.

SCRUM was a framework that one of the original agile proponents built to make money off developers. It gained popularity not from engineers but from project managers and the like which meant suddenly every project started to use SCRUM. The main reason was that they sold a course which gave a certificate and if there something that a project manager like more than micromanaging it's certification.
True. There should be a simpler mechanism.
In case of stocks, there exists the balance sheet but there should be something simpler yet more informative. For instance, the regular watchlist we have (on Yahoo Finance) with a couple more datapoints from the balance sheet.
Because often it is cheaper to exploit the limited resources because that is what we have done for decades and already have a good infrastructure around it. There have been a lot of innovation in the area of renewables and "unlimited" resources such as solar. But it is not being driven by people needing more energy but by various regulations and now also price.
While all the parser I had written were bottom up parser. Find those easier to write.
the Fed has a dual mandate, there are still a lot of people who doesn't have a job due to the pandemic.

this inflation spike due to the combined effects of overspending on products in quarantine (partly fueled by unemployment checks, that should have been sent in monthly installments to discourage spending it on big items), and the energy market chaos thanks to the war in Europe. (and even though a small portion of the supply disappeared the price curve is steep, the new price point is much higher up as we see.)

should have the Fed done more about this? yes, definitely. but just as you observed, the low rates are here to stay on the long run. (mostly because aging population of the developed countries as pension funds buy bonds to get the fixed cashflow they need to pay the pensions.)

Both bathroom and kitchens scales are large enough they can run on AA / AAA batteries and casually go a decade (or more) without replacement.

Tangentially: I used to have a 3 button timer, it was a little LCD countdown display and 3 buttons. One button set hours, one minutes, and one starts / stops the countdown timer. I found this timer when I was a kid, used, and the 1 AAA battery it had lasted into adulthood, literally decades. I have since bought almost the exact same device - 3 buttons, one display - a few different times and the newer ones only last a year on the same battery.

What's going on here? Presumably someone designed a new 3 button timer, since they can't just steal an existing schematic, and I guess just nobody cares to make it good? Why don't all 3 button timers last multiple decades on a AAA battery?

I've seen the same thing with other small electronics, like the dozen or so stopwatches I've owned in my life. A few of them go strong for decades, others have their LCD display start fading in a year.
I wish the Dymo label printer (for those labels printed on tape) had an off switch.

Try for cheap! Buy a floodlight ($15?) and use it as your main light when eating breakfast, for example.

For me this had a huge impact - I use it as above my computer desk at home.
I have a oven thermometer that has two active parts which are linked via some sort of wireless system.

One part is the one you plug the actual thermal probes into, and that then transmits data to a separate display. You can turn that one off.

Then there is the separate display that lights up and beeps and what have you: this one doesn't turn off, presumably so you can admire it say "--" whenever you're not actively measuring the temperature of something...
It's also only a couple of paragraphs in a long post and offers some evidence of parts of the agile methodology (retrospectives and code reviews) being used to harass people so it seems unfair to knock the article for those reasons in my opinion
I've had a bit of a similar experience in reference to the mundane. As a kid, I absolutely hated doing the dishes or laundry (as most kids do). However, around when I turned 19 I started listening to music (sometimes a podcast) while doing the dishes and everything changed. I realized I can basically mentally automate the process of doing dishes, and almost completely shut my brain off. I'm a habitual over-thinker and usually quite anxious, so this was absolutely amazing for me. Its gotten to the point now where I almost get excited to do the dishes.

I personally don't consider what I was doing meditation, but I wouldn't be surprised if I accidentally mimic'd some meditation-like behaviors to aid in this.

That's an elegant way to do it. For a brief moment I considered solving this by hand using basically the same idea, but that gets incredibly painful before I even got started.

I mean, obviously the extremes get eliminated right away, and then the primes, but then I have to track 10,000 number combinations.
I always felt like Gibson was describing Sega City or Odaiba instead of 'enclaves near Chiba' .. Odaiba in particular 'feels' more like what he intended for the neighborhood, and its kind of in the same direction, relative to Ginza and central Tokyo ..
True, being a student should be considered a full-time job. I'm from Europe and we get stipends that depend on grades (and financial situation), and studying is at least somewhat considered a duty and responsibility towards society then, instead of the American attitude where students are service consumers, customers who must be pandered to. You can see where that attitude has led on American campuses.

Thing is, Buddhism makes very similar claims. That's what the Bodhisattva vow is all about; a commitment, made out of pure loving-kindness, to delay ultimate enlightenment so as to accumulate a store of merit (good karma) that other beings can freely call for and attain their own enlightenment. For all we know, every practitioner of Buddhism who actually manages even the slightest semblance of enlightnment might be tapping into the power of countless bodhisattvas.
Let me quote from one of foone's tweets:

"I HATE GETTING POSTED ON HACKER NEWS"
I stopped respecting the UN when they said they criticized Elon Musk for not giving them 6 billion dollars so that they could "solve world hunger". That's about as much as the state of Sweden donates to poverty every single year, and that is just Sweden alone. The total amount of charity donations worldwide is in the trillions of dollars yet there's always just more required. Bureaucrats with humanities degrees at the UN don't solve problems, if they were solved, their jobs would be purposeless.

And yea, I know they releasased a "plan" showing how they would split the 6 billion to different areas and stop world hunger 2022. Amazing work!

With the continuous development and popularization of mobile phones as a mobile communication tool, and the continuous advancement of the technical level of human mobile communication tools, especially the popularization and application of 4G and 5G technologies, it is useful for prisons, labor camps, detention centers, drug rehabilitation centers and other similar categories. . This negative impact is becoming more and more prominent. In prisons, detention centers and other supervision places, the use of mobile communication tools such as mobile phones is clearly prohibited, not only for prisoners, but also for supervision personnel. Once the mobile phone is brought into the prison and put into use, it will bring great harm to the development of prison management. Some inmates called, texted, obtained information, blackmailed witnesses through legal smuggling of mobile phones, and even teamed up to escape. For this, cell phone jammers for prisons and other prisons are urgently needed.

In the context of Europe, one needs to compare the Tory party to the self declared far right nationalist parties in Europe. Many of which hold actual positions in their governments.

I'm sure you would agree it's all a matter of degree rather than a yes/no situation. The point is that in Europe there are further, more extreme far right parties. And they are increasing.

However I don't think they are causing an actual problem at the EU level.

There's also a counter argument that the UK should have remained in Europe to counter the rising European far right, to help moderate things at a continental level! Ironic but a little heard argument as the main campaign was that the EU didn't need the UK, rather it was the other way around (the UK needed the EU).
> Kitchen scales, bit more use, at least once a day but again 2 button cells a year

I had a kitchen scale that would eat through its battery pretty quickly (within a month) even when not being used. I figured it could be an interesting project to open it up and try to figure out where the stray power draw was happening, but the obviously correct solution was just to leave the battery cover off and pop it in and out for regular use.

Anyway my current kitchen scale was given to me as a present and has a mini-usb input to charge an internal battery. I personally found it to be a bit overkill, but at least I wouldn't need to get a new battery all the time. Then I realized that it can't be used when plugged in and charging. As in even if it is fully charged, it will not work when plugged in a charging. I can't believe that design idiocy. The engineers/managers/everyone involved in the production of this product should be ashamed.

I think it could possibly work in a financially neutral way if the school contracted the students (as either skilled or unskilled labor) out to local businesses. There'd be a lot of ethical considerations around how to establish a relationship between the students, the school, and the businesses where everyone is getting a good deal and the students are protected from being exploited (however one defines the term).

I have a roommate who went to a sort of coding school where they take in random people who score well on a general aptitude test and they agree to work for the company a couple of years as IT contractors in exchange for free training. (If memory serves, the first few weeks of training is unpaid, but the later part of their training they do get paid.) After training, the students get paid less than market wages, but the expectation is that they'll leave and get a much better job elsewhere and it's better to get paid less that market wages as an IT person than a lot of other low-skill jobs people might find themselves doing instead. Kind of a weird system, but it seemed to work out well for him.

I went a different route post-college, which was to become a grad student. Our department financed mostly through federal grants to do basic research in computer science. For certain fields this can work pretty well, as long as the grant funding is stable. (In our case it wasn't. But for a while I got paid to be a student, which was a nice reversal of the usual trend.)
I think you didn't phrase your question properly.

Outsourcing the workforce is very different from hiring from the global market. Many comments here focus on outsourcing because you asked about it. Outsourcing has been around for a long time. Tradeoffs are well known and some companies still choose it. WFH has little effect on it.

What WFH can change is expanding the job market across borders to the extent that time zone differences allow companies to do so.

Is this a bad thing for employees? Hard to know! All I know is that demand is now much higher than supply in a single market. So companies with a WFH culture can benefit.

I think the smartest thing to do is to use this trend as an opportunity. Work for companies that pay better and live where the cost of living is lower and the quality of life is better.
On Peter B. Kaufman’s “The New Enlightenment and the Fight to Free Knowledge” (2021)
Hi Joshua, when you are here, why did you choose that name, with the dots?
A number of people have commented on how this model of work-study is unrealistic because it relies on endowments for it to work.

I think the argument can be flipped. The problem is that of incentives and the wrong culture dont allow the debt-free, work-study program to be more widespread, by leveraging endowments.

Take for example a place like harvard.

Consider that the objective of a harvard portfolio manager is to grow its prestige and carry incentive payout, by increasing its AUM and reinvesting returns. The primary incentive of the fund manager is not to generate income for student use.

You then have the same problems on the administration side. Their chief objective is not to lower overhead for students, but to increase admin count, payroll, nonstudent "research". Arguably this culture permeates down to alumni giving which is why oftentimes gifts are restricted. Alumni do not want gifts to fund admin largesse. Administrations with clear mission statements ('debt free students') would have far more leverage in fundraising towards that goal.

So to complain that using endowment for tuition is "cheating" is missing the point: endownment is a critical to bridge the gap between student labor value and total tuition.

Instead, we should look at universities with higher endowments with deep suspicion. Is it a culture of misaligned incentives that is resulting in a huge debt burden to students ?

Why are too many US universities failing to provide a debt-free path to kids; when the work-centric universities in this article prove that debt-free graduation is an attainable goal?
It hasn't evaded anyone. People just don't care. Parking e-scooters on bike lanes is dangerous for you, but convenient for me.

The general lack of regulations and the total of $0 spent on enforcing them, leads to e-scooters drivers acting simultaneously like car, bikes, and pedestrian depending on what's most convenient.
