What I took away from that passage was the juxtaposition of "don't use anything but free software; here's a manual for a C compiler" was seen as somewhat lacking with regards to "lovability."

That said, I love a good language reference. And I've gotta say, documentation is hard and the hardest thing I've found in learning zig is that the language is moving fast -- it's really hard to make good documentation for a moving target. So swiping at RMS for putting out an improved manual rings a little hollow to me.
> I have never understood the reluctance of successive governments to allow foreign competition in our telecom markets. Telus, Shaw, Bell, and Rogers are all widely held public companies. They answer to global shareholders.

Especially since it's a huge opportunity for profits for Canadian companies.

In Europe telecoms became an open market where any European carrier could setup shop anywhere else in Europe. The result was that the more efficient operators managed to grow considerably. Just take a look at the French Orange Telecom [0]

Opening the Canadian market to the USA or Europe would mean that Canadian companies could setup shops and disrupt the market in foreign countries. There's no reasons they would get crushed by their foreign competitors in an open market.

I mean, I remember the times when everyone had a BlackBerry phone and when Nortel was still a thing. These two companies were very much Canadians and killing it abroad.

> Did game theory explain any of the USA's recent military adventures?

I’m sure that military and economic strategists have given plenty of game-theoretic thought to the matter, but I doubt that there are many or any published studies in the way of either open or proprietary academic game theory that attempt to put these recent, current events into a wider context.

Alternate character interpretation: these companies understand that this is a reasonably sustainable price for their customer base, that moving away from those "bad pricing decisions" will alienate their customers, and that scalpers should be put in trash skips and rolled down steep hills.

Not every profit need be maximized immediately and without hesitation and scalpers need not exist. More than one thing is allowed to be true.

You've walked quite a road!

In your shoes I suppose I'd build on my general strengths (figuring out and walking my own road) but in a new direction (life change away from my past activities).

So I'm not sure what advice I could give that would seem relevant, especially given your deep narrative focus which implies strengths that build from your own perspectives. Maybe others' perspectives are more like noise, which is fine and sometimes good to know about.

I wish you all the best with your next moves and encourage you to embrace the seemingly incidental and random in your past, be a bit random, see what sticks for you.

Maybe it's a bit of an Eccl. 9:11-12 perspective (I'm not religious, but I do remember preaching some of that stuff as a congregational leader ;-)), but sometimes taking the existential, soaking-in-possibilities view can give the executive system a break and prepare you for your next pathway of decisions. Good luck.

I disagree, I would say limits are the key idea.

1. How do you even express the idea of continuity if not through limits? (Sure, there's the topological definition and the epsilon-delta criterion but those are merely an abstraction or a different way of phrasing the same idea.)

2. The key difference between the rationals and the reals is that the latter are Cauchy-complete. How do you even define (in an intuitive way) what that means without referring to limits?

3. The reals are typically constructed as (equivalence classes of) Cauchy sequences, i.e. by their very definition they are the limits of their Cauchy sequences.

What is happening is a weird confluence of events that no-one actually cares to analyze because SF is the world's most politically charged city to speak about, so people just state their biases vs. actually thinking.

The trends as I see them are:

1) An increasing number of increasingly wealthy people with connections to SF that choose to domicile elsewhere while keeping a home in the city that is used a few months a year (to your point of empty homes being kept empty).

2) The temporary shut-off of a massive pipeline of recent college grads who fill the offices of not only start-ups, but also accounting firms, consulting firms, banks, etc.

3) A reduction in appetite for '3 guys in a 2 bedroom where someone sleeps in the dining room' and an increase in appetite for '1 guy in a 2 bedroom/home office set up,' which supports price growth but not population growth.

4) The fact that for the past century, SF has been a city that grows beyond its means and then crashes, only to pick back up again on the next cycle (SF only surpassed its peak 1950 population in 1990)

There are certainly more that I miss, but from a street-level perspective, SF isn't in noticeably worse shape than it was in 2000. Question is "Is post-pandemic lifestyle change similar to the car (which caused that 40 year lull) or is it more temporary?"
oh please let this be true !
There are certainly many people that show signs of trouble, but don’t become mass shooters. And yes, availability of firearms, specifically high capacity rifles, was found to be a significant factor to the rise in the number of victims.

The Violence Project makes the argument that it’s not just mental health and availability of firearms that causes mass shootings. It’s a confluence of many contributing factors that all need to be addressed.

This is why I found the book so enlightening given the typical mental health and gun control debate that is going on now. This is not a simple problem to solve in my opinion.
This seems to be a pretty pragmatic approach - it avoids spending a lot of high tuition dollars and effort on the freshman/sophomore generic weeder courses and focuses the high return on effort/investment upper level courses that are specific to your area of study.

Do you administer systems with SysVinit as well? If not, please consider that of course the system which manages startup and background services is going to be responsible for admin issues. It is exactly the area you are responsible for administering! If yes, I'm curious how those are going in comparison. Are they less trouble?
Can you elaborate on how avoiding competition is the root of much evil? It is plausible if you mean it as avoiding by stifling or suppressing it.

On the other hand, I believe that competition, broadly construed, is the root of evil (competition is for losers). The more we can not compete with each other, but rather support each other in our own personal endeavors, the better.
I suppose that is my point, sayings such as "I haven't seen a single start-up failing due to tech" is not possible to defend..

Well they can. If I move to another popular place like Manhattan they probably won't go down much. But it's reasonable to ask, if you don't have a work-related reason to live in a place, whether it's good value based on your priorities. The answer may be "Yes!" for SF for some people. But it may also be "No."
What a ridiculous article... everyone understands that exponential growth cannot continue forever. The bigger and more interesting question is what the life of an average human looks like when growth inevitable slows down, and how fast we can get there.

Because the assumption that we will grow our energy use indefinitely is flawed. Energy use has diminishing returns, eventually we'll run out of useful work we want to perform. At least in terms of material wealth and comfort.

There's probably also major opportunities for energy savings that extends this timeframe greatly. Incandescent -> LED lights have reduced energy consumption by a factor of 10. Technology improvements in just the last 5 years have halved the energy consumption of air conditioners.

> The biggest problem is not in Agile itself, but indeed in the dogmatism of its practitioners.

I feel that most people don't understand that larger corporations don't adopt Agile to benefit product teams, but to add a layer of measurability to the process that is only useful for middle and upper management to establish and track OKRs.

Thus Agile may not be a failed idea, but it arguably fails at the implementation.

Agile apologists seem to be disconnected from this reality.

I think your argument ignores that fact that in other cities, you drive by the social problems, whereas in SF you walk through them.

Nobody complains about the homeless people who live under the Las Vegas Strip because they are unseen, but per capita, some studies imply Las Vegas has a much worse problem than SF.
Even as a someone who has used snort and have been aware if it for a long time I was surprised to read about the new release. Even if it’s stale a lot of folks I guess are just being made aware! Btw, the blog you linked is a lot more informative than OPs post.
This is the type of response which shows why bodies pile up. We need the Rambo weapons destroyed.
The whole terminology shows an attitude hostile to employees, just squeezing out the last drop of juiceout of them. Nobody can sprint all the time, sometimes you just need to walk slower.

I think I have seen 3 types of people

* some get cynical and just don't care about the sprint goals. What doesn't get done this sprint gets carried over to the next one

* others really want to get ticked off everything. So they compromise on quality, pile up technical debt. Eventually they hope the project will be closed or they move one.

* 3rd category burns out themselves. This can end badly, I have seen suicide attempts, people disappearing from their family and of course sick leaves and quitting their jobs.

I don't think planning every 2 weeks is a bad thing. It just makes sure that plans get reviewed, updated, and refocussed frquently enough. Whether the goals have been reached or not I don't care that much. Retros are often a waste of time. Yeah, we underestimated something. We forgot a task. Unforeseen customer support suddenly had higher priority. There is always some reason why things went differently, despite all intentions to do it better every time.

Edit: No I don't think all sprints go just completely wrong. But there is always something that didn't work out. Maybe 30% on average? With my current team we try to mostly look at the 70% that we got done reasonably well and then we move on carrying over what still needs to be done.

> If our leaders decided today to migrate primary energy to nuclear power climate change would be "solved" within 20 years.

I think this is inaccurate for several reasons
1. it takes human and financial resources to build a nuclear power plants, which most countries don't have
2. using the current technologies, uranium would quickly become a limiting factor
3. developing new technologies take times.
4. electricity is only a small part of the emissions of CO2

Yes, this comes from the perpetual growth ideology.

>The critisism is coming from USA to.

Dumb people exist in the US too - color me surprised. It's not about defending the US healthcare system, I'm sure there are enough issues worth criticizing. However almost every time one sees such reports it turns out the people were simply under-insured or outright uninsured if you actually bother to look at the details and not just the headline. So in Germany you have similar high bills, people are simply ignorant of this because the true cost is socialized and the tax payer pays for it. Have you never wondered how a fully privately insured person living a comparable lifestlye at the end of the month still has more disposable income in the US compared to Germany?
First of all, I hear your frustration. I've been a part of way too many teams that just do things for the sake of doing them. It sucks when it seems like no one else cares or will even acknowledge that it's a waste of time.

I'm not trying to push any particular part of scrum on anyone. My point was that I think teams should look to agile as a bunch of suggestions and should change or remove things as they see fit. If it's not working, scrap it. If retros assume your team works in one way, and your team doesn't work that way, change how your team does retros or don't do them.

Hell, at one company I worked at that was going through a particularly rough transition, we moved our "retros" to 3pm on Friday, brought beers, and by the 15 minute mark it was usually just a bitch-fest about everything that was going wrong at the company. They weren't the most productive retros ever, but it was what the team needed at that time.

> Example for retros. They solve agreeableness and bottling things up, in theory. In practice, a lot of people stay agreeable and continue to bottle things up.

I disagree. From what I've seen, people are a lot more willing to speak up if they know they're not the only one feeling that way. It's easier to "yes and" someone else's complaint that speak up on your own. I just ran our retro today, where one of the more quiet members only had positive things to say until one of the other members of the team mentioned how they were having trouble getting reviews on PRs in a timely manner. Once that was out there the quiet team member was happy to hop in and share her issues around the same thing, but I doubt that would have happened if someone else hadn't "popped the cork".

> Maybe they try a few times, only to notice what they say doesn't really affect the future, leading to more frustration than just not saying anything.

This sounds like the real root of your problems. If nothing is coming from your retros, I can see why you would be frustrated (I would be too). Our retros end with us going over the list of action items and assigning owners. Our next retro then starts with us going over that same list and seeing who got what done. For my current team that works really well and we've actually had some pretty great things come out of our retros because of it. I'm not trying to push that on you, but just giving an example of what works for us.

I hope I don't come off as offensive, but it really sounds to me like your team is pretty dysfunctional. I'm not sure there's really any process to get around that. Saying retros are useless when no one on your team cares is kind of like saying power steering is useless when your car is on fire.

"must be a genius"? Did people ever think this? While I went to university many decades ago, the whole "he went to Harvard, he must be a genius" would have seemed like a bad TV sitcom trope, when I was young. And still today.

Are students at top tier schools like that smarter than the average bear? Sure. Geniuses? I guess a few are, but most of them are just pretty smart + hard working + reasonably disciplined. Which is a pretty good combination that will help most people in their life.

Sometimes I get the feeling that some people expect that if they meet someone who went to an ivy/stanford/mit/chicago and that someone doesn't blow them away with their uber-genius greatness, that those schools' reputations must be total BS. IMO, that's unreasonable.
You can't take an address of pretty much any input parameter, return value, or local variable of a function on a stack machine because they're all on the stack CPU core's hardware data stack which has no addresses for its elements. In C you should be able to take the address of these objects, using an ampersand. That's not making an assumption?

Ivy Leagues’ admission process rewards students who are outgoing and do a lot of different things.

You can’t tell from a high school transcript whether someone got an A because they’re brilliant and didn’t have to study at all, or whether they got an A because they studied hard.

Most of my friends who went into ivy leagues were outgoing and did tons of extracurriculars and studied hard. My friends who were naturally brilliant either stuck to the subjects they liked, and ended up getting their doctorate at a state school, or they had had their success derailed for some other reason.

Node won't load TS files by default at all. You need complicated plugins like ts-node and few people know/setup ts-node, and I believe ts-node still expects Typescript code to be in TS files. It's likely accidental babel "bleedover" in that at this point even non-Typescript babel presets will strip Typescript types without warning.
