If you have a good team with good people, it doesn't matter much which process you're following, because shit will get done anyway.

Agile was a way of trying to document how some good teams got shit done, but most of the companies and people trying to implement it didn't understand that you actually need good people, they thought it was the process, and thus "Agile" was born.

...and to the complete mystery of everyone involved, "Agile" teams don't get shit done.
> That is not the problem. Just because an agency is funded by fees does not mean that it has perverse incentives nor corruption (though it can be the case). After all, the FDA has to assess all of Pfizer's drug applications -- do you want to pay for all that out of your income tax, or should Pfizer be paying it?

The FDA gets billions in funding from the government and the USPTO does not. I'm not saying you are right or wrong about the problems regarding the USPTO but to compare its funding to the FDA is disingenious and wrong.
Seems like a short-term solution would be for e.g. Cruise to give the SFFD a blanket permission to push their cars out of the way?

And long-term work on avoiding this situation in software.
MSIX (formerly APPX) packages exist on Windows and have had a "double click to install" experience since Windows 10 Anniversary Edition. They've supported Win32 apps for as long as they've been called MSIX rather than APPX.
I propose we tax vehicles based on their 0-60 time. Soft tire compounds and abundant wheel torque and available power are directly correlated with tire wear and tire wear directly translates into particulate pollution.

This tax would also have the side effect of being slightly more burdensome on particular demographics that are most likely to come up with half baked "let's tax X" ideas that fail to pass even the most cursory analysis as these demographics tend to drive fast high performance sedans.

Edit: Just to be clear, lower number = more tax. Work vans pay little, high performance toys pay a lot. This is a semi-satirical proposal.
Microsoft is already sort of just, doing both while keeping retailers within that loop with Xbox All Access which includes cloud gaming - https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-all-access

If you want to buy a console off the shelf you have to compete with other buyers, but sometimes there's a separate pool of consoles reserved for Xbox All Access subscribers.

Subscribing to it isn't something you should really do if you're intending to flip the console and it's harder for scalpers to scale up. It requires a credit check and on-going payments, plus it includes Game Pass Ultimate which cannot be resold as it's part of the cost of the subscription which could eat into scalper profits. Attempting to scalp through Xbox All Access is probably a losing proposition unless you were to go down darker more illegal paths.
To be clear the kernel is horrible at handling OOM situations and Ubuntu's configuration of systemd-oomd is more aggressive at deciding when to start killing things than the default systemd-oomd settings.
IIRC that case isn't that the using an API makes it a derivative work, but that the API itself is copyrighted and that making an implementation of that API is a copyright violation (except for fair use, etc...).

EDIT: gpm is correct, they didn't arrive to such a conclusion.
> Over the past 20 years, more people per capita have died in school shootings in Germany than in the US. A European nation was in a similar situation very recently.

Wikipedia lists 90 deaths in "mass shootings" in Germany for the almost 32 years since 1990 [1]. I'm quite surprised its that high tbh.

Wikipedia also gives a total of 118 deaths in mass ahootings in the US for just the two years 2022 and 2021 [2]. There were no year totals and tbh I gave up counting at that point. But a crude extrapolation back to 1990 gives 1770 deaths.

The population of Germany is 84 million, and the population of the USA is 331 million - ie 4 times larger. So for Germany to have the same number of deaths in mass shootings over that period would have required 442 deaths - almost 5 times the actual number.

So I dont think this statement stands up to scrutiny.

Caveats: These numbers are mass shootings that include school shootings as well as other siruations. The data comes from different sources. Extrapolation of us numbers from two years data. And I did some of the adding-up in my head. I could try to get better data but its friday night and I'm tired.

I'm okay letting go of things which happened before any current politician was in office. The past is the past, but I can despise the CCP for what they are doing right now.
AIUI (and I ANAL), these patents are also behind the Z-Camera ZRAW format change as of Z-Cam firmware 0.94.1:

https://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/25023/z-cam-i...

> "As [the original post] said, ZRAW stores a full RAW, albeit compressed (Huffman and Golomb). This means that the original information about YUV is not correct. In the code, they called the channels that way, indeed, but the channels themselves, as it turned out, store the usual RGB CFA Bayer."

https://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/25185/zraw-is...

> "ZRAW is not RAW anymore. After firmware v0.94.1 it's an AES-encrypted MOV-container-corrupted overXORred shit, that contains only HEVC bitstream."
I learned the taut-line hitch a while ago and find it great for exactly this purpose, and it looks a bit easier than the one you suggest. Do you have a particular reason to recommend this one?
I guess I must've missed the autocorrect suggestion. Too late to edit now. The curse of relying on modern tech, my mobile typing has become lazier as autocorrect learned to understand me better...
> GPL'd source available to whoever you make the binaries available to.

Or, perhaps compliance for this is their exact concern.
While it is nearly always true that implementing stuff in hardware doesn't help as much as software people would hope, there are interesting exceptions. The 1986 Smalltalk processor project from Canada, called Swamp, used the top two bits of the 32 bit word as a tag. If the bits were 00 or 11 then we had a 31 bit integer (which also happen to be valid 32 bit integers for addition and subtraction, no conversion needed), while 01 was an object pointer into the heap and 10 was a reference to the stack.

Deciding if a 32 bit value is an integer or not is awkward in software, which is why Smalltalk and similar VMs use other encodings. In hardware it is a single exclusive or gate.
Rec 709 was published in _1990_ (and had that gamma structure then, of course!).

All you can say red is doing is reciting the rather obvious combination of a 2k+ camera with rec 709, 23+ fps, etc.

Maybe it's the case that someone can't find a 2k camera being offered to the public early enough to invalidate on a prior art basis-- but I can't see how anyone could conclude from this that a red success would be indicative of anything but a deeply flawed patent system in dire need of reform.

Most of the meetings for the SAFe process aren’t team oriented but collaboration oriented, to empower the team to work the way that’s best for them.

Teams within SAFe can use any methodology that they want, scrum, kanban, lean, etc.

The world outside of your dev team is what the other meetings are for: keeping business side informed of progress, checking in on cross team dependencies, deciding whether a change in plan needs to happen based on some unexpected problem, etc. That’s one of the reasons that SAFe insists on PI planning, it’s to consolidate as many meetings as possible into 2 days per quarter so they don’t invade every week as a back and forth.

When the business side and dev side of the house are communicating and on the same page, there’s a lot less friction in the work relationship.
China did not spend 20 years murdering people in the Middle East, resulting in the death and displacement of millions.
Thank you for this! This sounds like exactly what I've been looking for for years and due to several providers being in my local area right now its been under my nose the whole time!

To anyone who has gone this route, other then needing to fall back on traditional care when its out of the scope of a DPC provider, somewhat limited options in terms of providers compared to the traditional system, and of course additional cost in addition to still wanting to have insurance when you might not need their services often, any downsides to be aware of? Just making sure its not 'too good to be true'.

My favorite feature though is it seems like if you find a qualified provider I might finally get a "Dr House" who actually listens to what I say and does something rather then just following the standard flow chart.
I've never quite understood why the anti-car crowd is so prone to hyperbole with their criticism of the status quo. "Hellish Landscape", really?

Maybe not worth your trouble, but adding NoScript to Chrome works for me.
scrum works great when it is about the teams getting things done and not letting things fall through the cracks. It fails quick when it becomes about scrum process and making sure the 3000 fields in Jira are filled out correctly and making sure every processes is done correctly.
> I agree fully with you but I don't think secret management is as easy/cheap as some people pretend. On AWS, for example, each secret you store is $0.40 + $0.05 per 10,000 API calls and that can add up if you only have 1 api key/password/etc per "Secret" (for an individual at least, I hate bleeding off $10+/mo to store tiny bits of strings). Then, once you have the secret stored, you need setup roles/policies to be able to retrieve them.

There is a middle-step between "lets have API tokens committed in SCM" and "lets deploy a full-authentication system/use this costly solution", and that is using environment variables. In your code, do `process.env.MY_SECRET_KEY` instead of `myGitHubPersonalToken` and then when you run the program, run it with ` MY_SECRET_KEY=myGitHubPersonalToken npm start`. Magically, you can commit your code without exposing any secrets, and share the secret where you need it out-of-band.

Zero-cost, actually easier to configure your software when you need it, and as a bonus, people won't get access to your infrastructure in case someone gets a hold of your source code.

That npm inc isn't aware (or failed to uphold the code quality) of environment variables for secrets is embarrassing.
>The most important part of scrum and the only part that is important is retrospectives

That's funny because my "scrum" team doesn't do retrospectives at all, we just focus on long planning sessions every sprint. We are fully scrumfall.

I'm not advocating for property rights over natural resources. I'm advocating for property rights over artificial objects created by labour applied to natural resources.
I think this is true on an individual level, but a lot of high tech innovation is only possible with hundreds of engineers working together full time for years. Nobody is inventing EUV lithography in their garage, someone had to spend hundreds of millions of dollars assembling the necessary talent and providing the resources needed to get it done. That someone expects a return on their investment, otherwise they will find something else to do with their capital.

What we really need is much more strict requirements for what qualifies as a truly unique innovation worthy of patent protection. None of this BS about virtual shopping carts on eCommerce sites, or playable minigames on video game loading screens.

Historically, on Earth, populations have migrated when they were at risk of being exterminated by an enemy.

Some like to think advanced civilizations would not be so brutal, but I'm unconvinced.
Excess deaths which align with reported deaths with COVID not just in aggregate numbers, but in spikes. Spikes which also postdate spikes in infection by the roughly 30 days from infection to death observed in acute COVID patients (but don't align at all well with other things like lockdowns and economic downturns)

People die with cancer too, but few people are quite perverse enough to take that as evidence that the threat posed by cancer is exaggerated. Possibly the only comparable level of denial about the causal relationship between a well known ailment and people who don't normally die being likely to die afterwards for reasons well-explained by how that ailment affects the body I can think of is HIV/AIDs, and it's not coincidental that one's highly politicised too.
I know there is a subset of borrowers that really need the help so I fully support it for them. I wish there was a way to single them out rather than giving it to all. Some of whom are more than able to repay the loan.
I do not know in USA, but in UE norms demand roads to be able to normally operate ad SEVENTH time the expected mean load, so I doubt than an "oversize" car (not big truck) would made significant wearing to public roads.

IMVHO the issue is another: we can't sustain cars in cities anymore because there are too much cars for roads and parking infra. There is no "classic" solution for that: cities can only be just public-transport + only needed vehicles (emergency/work-related etc) to work and being NOT designed for such usage they can't easily be adapted => cities are dead end, we can only rebuild them and we already know that since anything change at a certain speed doing such enormous challenge will be pointless, for when it end we will end up in the similar issues for newer/mutated needs and gears.

Long story short IMVHO we need some "hub", where people live nearby, BUT little kind an on-purpose only like "this is a place where only students and teachers live for their relative active 'duty', here is just a metallurgic area there are a residential part for workers, but just for their working times and all have relatives and homes elsewhere" etc. Tough to achieve but I see no over evolvable option. So far only moderately dense Rivieras have shown life and sustainability. Low density areas became too expensive, high density untenable.

Aside we probably can't sustain anymore entertaining a modern country-wide road network, some countries like Finland here and there have barely admitted something alike, witch means we need something else to move. Small flying drones can be ok for private travel, no I'm not joking, actually a small flying car can cost as a road-born car, on similar scale, the far reduced infra costs compensate extra energy costs BUT that's can work for low weight transports. For logistic is a bit of a nightmare and for that so far I hardly see solutions behind a disperse economy where most of heavy and abundant stuff are local and local only witch is not much achievable. Another is waterways but they are usable only on the sea and large-enough rivers, witch means in too limited spot.
I wonder if people who are willing to pay extra for consoles from a scalper are more likely to spend more on games / digital downloads / etc. If that is true it would be an incentive for sony / microsoft to NOT fix the problem...
Patent lawyers consider the "not obvious to someone skilled in the art" test done by merely looking at prior art. If it's not previously explicitly patented, it's valid.

According to them. This is exactly what a patent lawyer told me when I asked about how they test for that requirement.
> why the hell would we openly accept something like Digital Yuan?

Define “accept”? If I, an American with an American phone, travel to China and can’t buy lunch because the American government mandated deplatforming of the payment app, that’s really annoying to me.

I agree that nobody in the US should be using the e-CNY in place of the USD, but a more targeted law could accomplish this without trying to police the applications I can install on my iPhone

I frankly doubt e-CNY even has a chance to take off here, in my local Chinatown everyone pays by credit card not by Alipay or Wepay.

Cryptography: Theory and Practice, Third Edition by Douglas R. Stinson
The article (which I bother to read before commenting) indicated that the only way to clear the way would have been to drive in reverse. I don’t know if a human driver could have been expected to do any better. The real problem was the double parked sanitation vehicle.

I’m not a fan of tech companies doing their beta testing on public streets, but this doesn’t seem like a egregious incident despite the delay it caused.
SAFe has been nothing but a giant timesink for our company, but I guess our managers got certifications out of it. For our org, it added a day and a half of planning each 10 week period plus devs are now in roadmap meetings, which we never were in before.

We haven't increased in productivity. At all.

For our small dev staff, they've added over 1000 man-hours worth of meetings per year.
Scrum and Agile are like Monads, no one really knows what they are.

Sure. Cities lend themselves to different sorts of activities and have different pros and cons than do rural areas. Personally I get all the city stuff I want in short visits. I can see a play in a large city that is an hour drive away without living there.
Trains literally do not encourage sprawl. They encourage dense walkable towns built around train stations.
The steam deck has a queue system as well of course. While there's a risk that the buyer doesn't see the notification email that it's ready, the fact that you generally know that you'll get one within a year is very nice.
Preferably, far away from me.
Even with third parties why wouldn't you have a queue?
> Let’s look at some magical SVG techniques that you can use right away

So we're assuming a company/vendor/brand/person/whatever wants their site only working in the latest modern browser here are we?

Because there's always the caveat of backward compatibility that you have to consider. There are people stuck on older browsers (for whatever reason). SVG should be used sparingly and strictly for decoration. Don't build all your site's graphics with it. Use plain images for communicating ideas instead of SVG.
Thank you for the utility.

In order to get this to work on macOS, I needed to use Homebrew bash (5.1 instead of macOS' native 3.2) and the GNU date utility from Homebrew's coreutils, since macOS' native date binary uses different arguments.

Essentially, change the shebang to "#!/usr/bin/env bash" and use "gdate" instead of "date" wherever "date" is used.
It will be interesting how the American suburbs will fare in the upcoming years. With interests rising and home buyers getting more careful, the Ponzi-esque scheme of buying a house in a suburb might collapse [1, 2].

American culture is partly unthinkable without cars because of planning and zoning failures made decades ago. Why don't have suburbs a lot of small super markets and other stores? Why does everybody need to drive miles and miles to get a gallon of milk?

The trucker's hitch is one ofy favorites. I use it (with some Paracord) to tie stuff done to my bike. A piece of cord is just so much more durable and more compact than those elastic bands with hooks. I prefer taking the extra 30 seconds rather than risking a rubber cord snapping somewhere near my face.

Skyline - Your GitHub Story in 3D
Does GNU ld support delayload?
Typically the console makers make jack off of the console - often they lose money on the console. Profit is made off of licensing to game makers. Them jacking up console prices doesn't benefit them - they want as many consoles in as many hands as possible so that games can be sold to those users as possible.

If they make 50$ extra on the console, but the buyer buys no games, or buys a bad one and decides not to buy more on the console, that's a net loss right out, and an opportunity lost because the console didn't go to someone who would buy two, one of which they loved and caused them to buy three more.

It's the opposite of the iPhone situation - apple makes the majority of its money (on average) from the phone sale itself - people wait in line to give apple 30% off the top, even if they never buy an app or a song. So apple having a shortage slows down their profit this quarter, sony having a shortage slows down their loss this quarter and their profit 2023Q2.

It's short-term vs long term value of a customer, and the console makers are arguably making a better decision given the lifespan of a console.
What is the process if you would want to attempt to patch something in nixpkgs? Does that happen? Is there a way with your config to do that in an easy way? I think overlays is an attempt to patch it for yourself, but if you would want to prepare a "proper patch"?
As you get older, if you have a good career the opportunity cost of going back to school is just too high. As I have aged I also realize that the value of pursuing dreams is not quite as important as I previously thought. If I am providing for my family and have some money left over and my job is good, I’m not going back to school just so I can have a different career that in the end isn’t going to make me that much happier.
These days I've lost interest. My point was that availability affected what I ultimately spent (and did not spend) my money on.
Doesn't excuse this at all but I've seen some pretty stupid human driver behaviors with emergency vehicles and blocking intersections in general. A rule that says don't pull into an intersection you will not be able to clear (!!) would solve a ton of issues.
