Right and I’m suggesting Reddits origin story leads to a website like Reddit, and is not something anyone should seek to reproduce (unless being Reddit is your goal.) Making fake accounts isn’t the way to go if you want a decent discussion site specifically for podcasts. Otherwise You already have subreddits for every most of them.

The niche of a site like this is to not be going for growth at the expense of intellectual discussion.
Been lucky enough to only be exposed to scrum in training course.

Every team I've been apart of at multiple companies has been a team process around common sense, what works for the team, transparency and openness to suggestions and change.
I suppose you're saying that only the "whales" get the new systems.

I would think it means less disposable income for whoever gets the newer systems. Also, nobody will actively be playing them and spending money on microtransactions when they're in the scalpers' possession.
Because you yield to oncoming fire trucks.
> measure your results ... The heart of the agile manifesto I suppose

That's an interesting one. I don't know if Scrum teams I've been part of are doing this wrong, but I have seen a shocking lack of measurement going on. Much less than with even waterfall.

Whereas with a waterfall approach from decades past one might have a deadline and know if one has hit it or not, or a budget and know if one has overrun or not, the product managers at most Scrum teams I've worked with recently wouldn't be able to tell you what % of time is spent in Scrum ritual meetings, whether the project is overrun or not (as we only plan one sprint ahead, and the project is going to take more than one sprint), what % of time was actually spent on what project in the last sprint (or over the last quarter), what % of time was split between requirements, dev, ops, or any other task, etc.

Has your experience with agile been different? Or am I misunderstanding what you mean by measurement?
>The major sense I get from Canadians whenever I arrive back is an enormous sense of financial illiteracy. Like they just don't know or care about how badly they get ripped off all the time on so many things and will never care enough to do anything meaningful about it.

Why Canadians pay much more and have access to less despite living in a country that is 95% culturally, economically, and politically identical to the US, I do not know. I didn't fully understand the disparity until I read the amazing stories in a /r/canada discussion. victorn72's account <http://np.reddit.com/r/canada/comments/1ueai3/why_are_our_pr...> caused my jaw to drop open.

That said, isn't the sheer popularity of crossborder shopping an indicator that Canadians aren't financially illterate? That they do know what's going on, and act accordingly?
The nature is open, wide, and great verywhere in Mongolia except Ulaanbaatar. If you like the open steppe.

Remember that you need a vehicle or a horse to get somewhere. There are domestic flights. But when you leave the airfield you need something to transport you into the mountains.

If I would fly to Mongolia, I would buy a small Chinese motorcycle there (200ccm, you get a new one for 1k$).

If you are a horse rider then Mongolia would be your paradise. In this case I would be a horse.

But I am sure you can find a guide who drives you with his car whereever you want.
While the headline numbers are eyebrow raising, we also need to consider the fact that these companies are able to have that much debt because they generate cash flow to service said debt.

It'd be more interesting to look at debt as a multiple of the company's underlying cash flow; like debt-to-EBITDA or something.
If we granted statehood to every federal territory that has more residents than Wyoming, we'd have 52.

Do you honestly think Amazon isn’t a net positive for the world? Even ignoring how useful AWS is, Amazon.com is incredibly convenient.
Neither do bicycles
I actually completely agree - I think that it'd be far more fair to residents of the DC metro area if the whole city was just merged into either VA or MD (ideally the entire metro area would end up being moved into one of the states entirely - so maybe MD would be granted Arlington and Alexandria - or VA would get a chunk of MD... but either way I think it'd be far better for DC if it weren't this weird quasi-federal zone.

I also don't think that proximity really confers any undo influence at this point - so if the federal buildings just became federal property within the state of VA/MD similar to thousands of other federal properties that'd probably be fine.
These are recurring clients and it is less about what is fair for them or how much work they have for me (which is usually more than I want) and more what is good for me mentally and helps me manage the unreasonable expectations bI place of myself.

With half day billing, if I work the first part of the day and have more work to do (that isn't time sensitive), it is easier for me to stop working and go do something fun. When I do work a full day or put extra time for a day and a half, then I don't feel like I gave away my time and it helps me feel fully satisfied with my productivity.
You are correct. AI needs biological life to produce energy and means of replications for it. That's how virus depends on cells of living organisms. It is concerning how some persons all around the internet keep pushing someone's narrative about humankind not having right on independent existence and having to be only a supplier of resources for the emergence of AI.
IMO I think it depends on how the team handles it. The team I'm on tends to oscillate between "useless meeting" and "agent for change". I think if there's nothing to talk about why have yet another meeting? Perhaps we'll implement a straw poll about actually holding retrospective... I'll bring it up in the next retro of course.
Even though I would personally choose to use the hosted version, I still consider the availability of an open-source solution to be a great hedge against vendor lock-in/failure.

This is only true if I can be confident that I can replicate the hosted setup with the open-source version if I invested the necessary resources. Otherwise, the existence of an open-source option adds little value. In fact it can turn me off from a product since it'd seem like they're using open source as a marketing hook with no real intention of empowering users to be able to actually move off their hosted platforms.
But this is how PR and journalism work? Rather, basic human tendencies even. You say good things, they give you preferential treatment. Simple.
I'm willing to give this the benefit of the doubt if there's a lack of english-language reporting, and I don't want to trivialize as it's tragic wherever it occurs, but

- Wikipedia[1] has six events dating back to 1983 plus one from 1913, with a total of 46 deaths.
- CNN[2] only covers 2009-2018, with one German school shooting (to 288 American)
- Infoplease[3] lists mass shootings (not just schools) worldwide from '96 to 2021, with four German shootings and 36 deaths.

At 4x the population of Germany, the US (again, Wikipedia[4]) passed 180 deaths counting from Jan 2000 to June 2014 across 65 fatal shootings (there's many more with just injuries).

Looking at just "mass" incidents (5+ deaths) to filter out all the 1-2 casualty isolated incidents in the US that get overreported, those two wikipedia sources list two German shootings with 17 and 16 deaths since 2000 compared to the US with thirteen: 10, 6, 33, 6, 7, 27, 6, 5, 10, 6, 17, 10, 22, which is a ratio over 1:5. The math for your claim does add up per capita for just the decade 2000-2009 (both German @ 33, first four US @ 55).

The card check process is more of a special case of voluntary recognition, in which the employer can agree to skip the election if the petition for election already has a majority of the employees. Typically the employer can still require that an election by secret ballot be performed, the exception requires special dispensation of the NLRB which is obtained by demonstrating that the employer has or intends to tamper with the election.

The concept of a normalized card-check-only process is generally favored by unions because the NLRB election process is widely viewed as excessively favoring employers. However, it has never passed congress. That is, the "card check" as it is often discussed doesn't actually exist as the legislation proposing it has never passed. The existing mechanism is a fairly narrow exception that mostly exists for employer convenience.
wat? we already have a myriad of amazing people everywhere, and these elite certificate mills are largely irrelevant for making the world better anyway.
More useful for the instructors. If they can’t separate the outliers and stratify the student results they might want to look at how they are testing.

I think it would be interesting to build an orgmacs distro, probably building on Nicolas Rougier’s excellent work. Basically, present it as a standalone note taking tool with “modern” keybindings and appearance and have Emacs just be an implementation detail. “Powered by Emacs” would be in the branding somewhere to give credit, but not front and center where it’ll scare people off.

The main reason I haven’t done it myself is because I've used Emacs for over two decades and I don’t mind it’s idiosyncrasies anymore than I mind that lisp has parentheses.
You'll usually lose features resorting to Markdown and who knows what features you'll have with all the 'flavors'. I really wish it started losing ubiquity to competiors that are more usable and more standardized.

>How can SF home prices be justified vs SD or LA in a remote work world?

I don't live in SF or even in a city but, in the abstract, I'd pick SF from that triplet. LA is complete sprawl and a little bit of SoCal beaches goes a long way for me. And San Diego is nice enough but sort of soulless. I like the SF climate even when summer is the coldest winter you ever spent--and there are great recreational options and scenery.
This is really interesting, because it feels like it lines up with my own experience but I'd like to see how someone else quantifies it. What do you mean by "intellectually superior"? What does "raw intellect" even mean? What are these nebulous not-intellect-but-contributing-to-GI-score traits?
> Within 5 years Scrum will be largely irrelevant as an influence in modern software companies

I am a senior engineer and I still haven't experienced the mythical "scrum done well". Every single project that attempts scrum ends up burning people out eventually. The main cause is that it's a grossly leaky abstraction that forces people to micromanage themselves. If your company sucks, scrum is not going to save it.

There was one time I was driving around the Atlanta Super Speedway and a car intentionally slammed on the brakes right in front of me. Without collision avoidance I would have slammed right into the back of him because the truck was breaking before I even realized what they were doing. Not that big of a deal though since the truck had a dashcam which would have shown them to be clearly at fault.

Other than that it is mostly just annoying and slams on the brakes for things like people turning (while you’re actively slowing down) or people slowing down on the exit ramp who are no longer on the highway. That last one I used to use to wake up my co-driver when I was running team when it was time to switch because, why not.

Building a competent perspective on different areas of the "stack" can help you appreciate the problems that your peers and reports might be coming across. It also opens a new angle on problem solving and the ways to shift the solution across the stack to suit the context and purpose. I'd definitely recommend you to get atleast some hands-on with the frontend. You do have options with low learning curve these days to quickly build your understanding.
Imagen: text-to-image diffusion model with unprecedented degree of photorealism
10x engineers do exist, yes, and they do write clean code. If others don't understand it, it is because they have no domain knowledge or interest.

Even in web pages, compare the slickness of lichess.org to chess.com. The former is elegant, individualistic and non-corporate, the latter has the hallmark of too many meetings and divided "team" work.

We get that sometimes management labels a code slinger a 10x engineer, especially if he is also good at conference presentations. This, however, is not the definition on HN.

I've certainly seen more group efforts turn into Rube Goldberg machines than efforts of single persons. The group may understand the Rube Goldberg machine, tell management that the code is perfect, but it is still horrible for outsiders (sometimes deliberately).

How exactly does this research prevent you from fighting against bad people?
From my experience the problem is that Scrum guides say (or used to say, it might have changed) that in order to do Scrum, you need to do it all. So all the certified Scrum Masters learn that they have to do daily stand-ups and all the other meetings, and because they believe their job is to implement Scrum (instead of making the team more productive), they enforce it all.

Every time I worked with certified Scrum Masters I had exactly the same struggles.
> You can also tax based on engine volume, in order to penalize gas-powered vehicles more and still penalize curb weight indirectly.

It's basically what many countries in the EU do. France leading the charge (buying for example a Ferrari with a shitload of horsepower will be accompanied with a one-time tax of $40 000 USD (well, EUR) you have to pay to the state) and, no, people paying 200 K EUR for a brand new car are not happy about paying 240 K EUR so the tax "works".

It's also why the "downsizing" of ICE is happening: much smaller engines, but with turbos. And they do consume less fuel.

Of course now that all the EU countries pushed like crazy for sales of hybrid and EVs, they're now coming up with new legislation in the work that is going to take weight into account (because EV batteries tend to be heavy and they have to find a way to tax EVs).

I mean: those in the EU who bought an EV are kinda getting ripped of... The price of electricity is through the roof (in some cities like Brussels it simply doubled YOY) and they'll now be facing soon a tax on weight (it's going to be a EU directive so all the countries will have to adapt).

What a way to thank people for not buying gas guzzlers!

I set up the project myself, so, yes, I do know what's required. :)

For this project, `vue create my-project` and choosing TypeScript was sufficient.

I've done it before by configuring webpack and babel by hand, and yes, that can be a pain. I certainly wouldn't recommend a beginner start with that, but the existence of complicated options doesn't disqualify the simple solutions.
There's no style guide for internet comments and you don't know anything about another poster's potential second (or third, or fourth) language competence, disability or deficits, accessibility aids they are posting through, etc.

If you can't handle it then you'll miss some content, the same way you'll occasionally see comments in here posted in a language you don't understand. Do what feels reasonable to extract the information, or just accept that you won't and move on. I guess downvote if you really wanna.

I'm looking at it from the perspective of what I consider truly hellish. Is suburban sprawl bad, sure. But let's be honest, how does any of what was shown in that video compare to a warzone, a slum in an underdeveloped country, or some polluted Superfund site?

I think it's a good approach. My position is: we're considering a possible long term relationship. We both have an interest in this meeting. That is, I hold as many cards as you do.

Which is why you need BEV rated tires. My 2017 FocusEV (with > 50k miles) has it's OG tires from 2017 and recently had a tire guy tell me "no it's got a lot of life left" when I thought about replacing them.
It does look at the code at a meta level, in particular if the kind of change in the PR has previously been objected to or corrected afterwards. It creates perceptual hashes out of the code changes which are used as categorical variables that go in the neural net.

Deriving features about the code contributions is probably the most challenging aspect of the project so far.

But thanks for the point, I'll rephrase the topic in the guide
We can only hope. Little makes the good devs I know run faster from a job application than the phrase "Full participant in agile rituals/ceremonies". Everyone knows what the employer who says that is actually going to be like by now.

If you have to tell everyone what you were doing yesterday and they actually need to know your project tracking tool is broken. If you have to wait until the next day to raise a blocking issue your project management process is broken and your team isn't communicating at all. So what is the benefit of a daily standup again? Anything useful that is said there would probably be better said through asynchronous channels in real time. Most of what is said there isn't useful to most of the people attending anyway.

Then there's the planning poker thing. I think that's the one where a possibly large group of people often with conflicting incentives allocate imaginary points based on a mostly-arbitrary-in-practice scale to some tasks they might do in the next few weeks with the general goal of taking on just enough to look like they're doing something useful when management check without risking missing the entirely arbitrary deadline.

We also have retrospectives to consider. Those are where you have yet another meeting to talk about what you could improve in the future based on what you've learned and then don't do any of it because the people leading the meeting aren't developers and miss the point and in any case management has prescribed the One True Process so you can't do things like dumping standups and planning poker even if none of you believe they are helping.

As far as I can tell the Age of Scrum should never have started and the continued remarkably widespread practice of Scrum in the industry is much more due to management who read a book or went to a conference than developers who actually believe it makes them more effective.
Ah, indeed I should've taken a look at the manufacturer site. However, I'm pretty sure that there is a format narrower than FlexATX from the picture — because I was thinking of buying a PSU like that for a petite NAS. (Until I learned that there are small, silent and cool external PSUs, similar to ones for laptops.)
I came to these conclusions about 6 years ago. But I think scrum has a place for inexperienced teams and managers to learn what processes work.
>A lot of people were shooting video with their DSLRs before more dedicated devices became available

I doubt it. DSLRs didn't have video shooting capabilities till quite later on (late 00's?) compared to phones and point and shoot digital cameras which did much earlier.
In addition to the more recent observations of sibling comments:

The actions on the western frontier were explicitly intended and contemporaneously described as genocide. After we ran out of Native Americans to kill, we hopped the Pacific to Philippines where more than 10% of the population perished in five years. CIA managed the Indonesian massacres of well over a million innocent people. The answer must be at least... three genocides? Historians might discover more! For instance, are we sure there are no American fingerprints on Cambodia? I think rather we feel lucky not to have found any undeniable links yet...
