A long time ago, I hired a scrum master. Two months later, I fired the scrum master, and exorcised scrum from my company. It was bureaucratic, it siloed people (you are front end, and you will only work on front end) turned simple decisions into decision by committee designed to reduce risk to the committee members, favored people who had little knowledge in decision making and put 10 out of 10 client projects behind schedule. I've never really looked at scrum again...
Apple does aggressive page-out to swap space.

If an engineer can create a ticket and work on it, thats not reducing autonomy. Thats adding accountability.

If documentation requires a pull request / merge to update, often you have set controls that require a jira ticket. Its super common to not allow engineers to make solo commits without a pull request.

If an engineer sees the creation of a jira ticket as a limitation, or if they are not empowered to create their own tickets, then Id agree its a problem.
I’m surprised by the downvotes on the other people’s comments here!
Splunk licenses (and likely a ton of other enterprise-y software) are actual files, so when we renew our license, it goes into 1P as an attachment on our Splunk item

This is really it.

There's a world of a difference in what you can do if you have free reign to make most technical decisions with full autonomy (self guided R&D, picking stuff, spiking it out, doing it for real, etc.), perhaps only reporting back weekly outcomes to a CTO and also asking their advice as needed to align on big picture goals while nothing is ever blocked.

vs.

Most decisions needs to go through someone else, which then turns into an adhoc request for another department which then has to ticket it out and implement things on their schedule. They could be a great team and do everything in the best way you can realistically hope for but before you know it, things that were literally 1 or 2 hours of dev time end up taking 3-4 weeks simply because they have other things going on too. You keep repeating this pattern and it's how something ends up taking 6 months instead of 2 weeks. It's also one of the most frustrating things to be blocked. It forces you to context switch between many things to keep yourself busy. You spend all of your time reacting to eventually getting unblocked in an uncontrolled way instead of just sitting down and cranking it out. That means you might have to jump back into something you worked on 2 weeks ago and re-get all of that context back in your head.

I know in an Agile sense every team should be self sustained and can own their work from beginning to end but from an infrastructure perspective you may run into scenarios where you need resources created by another team because in a bigger org it's company policy. The blockers could be a combo of waiting on that other team or waiting until multiple people sign off on moving forward with XYZ tech.
Thank you for the link; yes, I laughed when I first paged across the book's reiteration of physical constants, the laws of thermo-dynamics etc. but in retrospect, it's helpful to have even elementary references when learning new concepts.

Fox too. I went to watch regular syndicated comedy programming on a local TV station that is also a secondary Fox news and sports station, and the regular programming was preempted to carry Fox coverage of the hearings.

There didnt seem to any commentary or analysis. Just videos of testimony and extensive clips of the events at the Capitol, most of which where pretty unflattering to those who swarmed the place.
Another way to look at it is that the bickering is not just between people but also internal bickering. Having "superstitious" beliefs allows people to receive sublime commands but also gives them sublime permission.
The language operates on a document model, so the memory model is a document.

A key language aspect is await/async semantics for asking users questions like "which piece would you like to play". While using async is not unique, the document memory model is transactional such that the async messages can be rewound. This allows a single incoming message to translate into exactly one data differential which means now the entire experience can be done in spite of machine failure.

When I was writing games with JavaScript await/async, it was a giant PITA. First, either the transactional boundary was too large and I had to replay an entire round while testing, or I had a lot of bugs. And bugs were exceptionally common which require building a lot of framework.

The database is basically how to productively work within the document, so the primary collection is a table which has basic integrated SQL. I haven't had a need for joins yet, but I plan on them in the future.

First you need to trick Apple into signing that kext (which is getting more difficult by the day even for legitimate uses), or get the user to disable SIP first.
Some authors may feel that way. Personally, I'm glad to see my non-fiction work made widely available (thinking globally) and preserved forever in the media commons of the Internet Archive.

They also only allow single-copy checkouts of currently copyrighted works for very brief periods of time, like a few hours at a time. Suitable for researchers and public reference.
I’ll take oil over their largely useless data. A large percentage of the ad data is tailored toward the same things like “what types of ads are people forced to click on?”.
Agreed up until:

> Anything Russia does to other states has got absolutely nothing to do with it.

This is a major change in the global status quo (given that China is closely aligned with Russia now). I disagree with your parent comment on "unless Russia is humiliated".

It is yet unclear either way would increase China's appetite for Taiwan. If Russia is defeated, China may find it is necessary to reunite with Taiwan to maintain its geographical security given Russia would no longer be able to support / project support for China's military move in the future. If Russia wins, China may find it is a strategical weak point for U.S. allied forces and it is a good time to reunite with Taiwan given higher nationalism.

Again, it is yet unclear. One thing certain though: the uncertainty increased substantially following Russia's war on Ukraine.

What I learned from this article is that libraries PAY PUBLISHERS to access their content at a premium. "Won't someone think of the publishers?"

"these Libraries have improved the general Conversation of Americans, made the common Tradesman and Farmers as intelligent as most Gentlemen from other Countries, and perhaps have contributed in some Degree to the Stand so generally made throughout the Colonies in Defence of their Privileges." -- B. Franklin

Bias note: I am a backer of IA, I believe in their mission. When I'm done in industry, I would dedicate my life to them. They have preserved innumerable media that would have been lost in our high turnover world. They are a gem of internet culture, democratizer of knowledge, and Brewster Kahle is a genuine good dude.
As a layman, I had to think of drugs or other dopamine hits first - actions which increase well-being in the short term but are harmful in the long term.

But what he really talks about seems to be the opposite: Actions which case some mild harm in the short term but increase well-being in the long term. So I guess something like working out or going on a diet or making a downpayment for a house?

Except the failure mode is also counterintuitive: Normally, we tend to overvalue the short-term downsides of those actions and therefore shy away from them, missing out on the long-term benefits. But he talks about a situation where we overvalue the long-term benefits but ignore the short-term and overdo the action until the short-term harm becomes critical.

So, e.g. someone working out, getting muscle-ache - and then working out more to counter the ache - which will only lead to more of it until the workout actually starts to become detrimental to their health.

It's easy to see how this would trip up automated control loops, but I don't really see how this has practical application outside of control theory.

> It feels like the plan has always been to price the working class off the roads, with no alternative beyond walking or cycling.

But why? How does it benefit them? The "oil companies lobbying in the US to make car-free lifestyle difficult" conspiracy makes sense because it benefits them, but how does it benefit the elite in europe to "price the working class off the roads, with no alternative beyond walking or cycling"?
He didn’t waive the right to troll them, and that’s what he’s doing. As I said this wasn’t to get out of the deal but to troll them in the court of public opinion.
If you consider the impact on _one_ plant. If the loss of that plant drives prices up for all other plants, than it could easily be worth it.
Was the primary complaint about employee treatment (e.g., the rescission of offer letters)? I thought it was mostly about other leadership decisions, which would not be fixable via unionization.

That is, making a union doesn't enable you to transform all aspects of a company, like "The over-prioritization of certain products, which has led to a lack of focus on other important issues like infrastructure" or "The failure of the Coinbase NFT platform".

These were the first two items listed in the erstwhile no-confidence letter.

It is relevant. Your point: "US is less scary/harmful than China, because it's a democracy". My response: "The fact that US is a democracy doesn't change anything if you are not a citizen of that democracy. Also being a democracy didn't prevent US from committing mass-murder in the Middle East".
Yes? That's literally what CCP's threat about and what they considered to be the red-line (i.e. any vote for independence would meet with military action).
We do this as part of our university practical course as well (2 week challenges in teams of 4, sometimes participating also in external competitions). While I agree that this good for learning, I would, however, say it is completary to lectures. It makes no sense if people just learn to overfit some hyperparams to beat a score. So rating should at least be done wisely. Otherwise I think people need lectures to understand the real limits of tech and actually find novel uses.

With many good lecture contents online I think it also would be good to also switch to more live competitions at university to do inverted classroom style learning. I think it is the mix that matters (along with the quality)

The Complete Guide to Peer Coaching
Scrum (stand up and all) is a waste of time and only lower tier companies are still using it.

That doesn’t mean that you don’t have a process at all. You might have once or twice a week sync meetings, and a biweekly planing meeting.

But scrum as it is traditionally thought (Daily stand ups, scrum master, agile coach) and all that hoopla is thought to be out of date.

If a company is spending 500k for an engineer the last thing they want is pointless meetings wasting their time, or have a non technical lower level agile coach try to dictate things (which I have seen it happen).

At that level the expectation is that the engineer is mature and will know how to unblock themselves and doesn’t need infantile hand holding.
going to set this as my homepage and use it daily. thank you.
The initial petition alleged problems at exec level. Brian's response confirmed it. And he wonders why the employees wouldn't bring this up internally..

Aside from the fact that his response is likely illegal according to California labor code, threatening to fire employee for discussing workplace conditions, it blows my mind how ignorant and illiterate he is when it comes to understanding power dynamics, and even the basic history of labor.

How do you go from being a startup founder to a public company CEO without deeply reflecting about workplaces, employee happiness, dysfunction, power dynamics and history of all of that?!

Creatures 3. It was the game that first made me interested in life simulation. You raise alien creatures called Norns on a spaceship, while also managing the aggressive Grendels and the thieving Ettins. As you unlock parts of the ship you can run medical and genetic experiments on the different creatures. They can also learn rudimentary language and learn to interact with you and each other. They adapt to certain diets and environments depending on how they are bred and raised.
Lol; truth indeed
One of the reasons enterprise organisations are so slow to adapt and release new products is the number of people needed to make a decision. I've seen large companies try to implement agile and it generally fails because they can't shift to quick & effective decision making processes. Greenfield projects that get developed quickly due to independence and have great promise for the future get the hug of death as soon as management decides to bring the project into the same decision making as the rest of the org.
The Ukraine War looks like WW1: everybody went into it with false expectations and nobody knows how to end it.

If it's in a repo, it's normal to need a PR to change it. And, it's normal for a PR to need a ticket.

Alternatives to creating a new ticket could be:

1) Link to the ticket number that was used, for creating whatever you're documenting now. Use the "blame" report.

2) Link it to a catch-all ticket for documentation or code quality. Look in your ticket system for a low ticket number, with recent activity. If this doesn't already exist, and you really do need to make a new ticket, write it as generally as possible to enable this style of reuse.

We had hyper well defined ride sharing system with clear rules unbiased rules, high anonymity, focused on individual providers prior to Uber and Lyft- Taxis.

I used to live in US suburbs, but now live in Tokyo - a lot of older postwar-constructed neighborhoods especially on Chuo Line from Nakano-Kichijoji have covered shopping arcades (shotengai) that are well connected to transit (as one would expect from Tokyo) and really nice to be in - it's like halfway between the accessible/controlled nature of malls (though without air conditioning), and a normal urban setting.

Separately, my suburban hometown in the US seems to be leaning into urbanism, with a (n artificial-feeling) human-scale city development with nice outdoor shopping and mixed use development (apartments, office, and retail space) in the middle of a parking lot and strip mall-dominated wasteland. It feels like that area is boomeing, seems like a trend of these urban islands in the deep suburbs is getting popular (presumably to the detriment of the nearby city itself).

Meanwhile the malls are getting either destroyed, repurposed into other stuff like warehouses, or remain open but have the weirdest niche shops which I don't really understand how they survive. I never liked the feeling of being in a mall, it just feels like a weird commercial dystopia to me when I'm in them, but never thought of them from the perspective of inclusivity and accessibility. Guess the biggest flaw is that they tend to be inconvenient to get to, in places that are inaccessible to start with.
How is that a trope? Everybody here who has kids used to not have kids, and all would agree that before they had kids they had significantly more time to dedicate to non-kid-raising activities.

Nope.

If you're leaking about something that's genuinely concerning (criminal, or just very bad and immoral), by all means, leak it.

But this seems more of a leak to make some noise, to win an argument by public opinion. Nothing but a political stunt. Not very virtuous.

This is an instance of an abstract pattern I've observed almost every day over my several decades in this industry: people imposing processes, techniques, tools, approaches, architectures, that appear to be inappropriate to the work at hand. A common factor is that the people doing the imposing are not experienced in doing the kind of work they're targeting. Sometimes the thing they're imposing was appropriate in some other context, but not in the current one (e.g. it works at Google but only because they have CI and RCS tools we don't have).
Sometimes there's a kernel of truth to the thing, but that got lost in translation (e.g. have daily meetings, but we don't know the purpose of those meetings).
The pervasive vibe is of people not thinking too much about what they're asking others to do, and not having any direct experience of the thing they're trying to control.

You're conflating "consequences and effects" with "function". The former is things that happen due to the physics, the latter is about intent or utility.

"Taking up space in the genome is a function" is a great example of this. While I'm sure you can find examples of "spacers that when deleted are fatal", the fitness effect of protein-coding regions that contain no utility is still an area of research. To me, functionality requires selection, although that's probably not necessary or sufficient!
