I have a couple of problems with this.

1. Scrum is not a heavy process. It's an agile process, the opposite of heavy. It rarely involves Gantt charts, UML, or book-length specs. Kids these days . . . sheesh!

2. "Plan -> Build(Iterate) -> Ship" seems like a made up methodology. Or a badly-copied O'Reilly title.[1] It does not describe the way teams behave. Consider teams as software-producing systems. Systems need feedback to correct; to adapt; to learn. Where is the feedback in this methodology? Yes, there's probably some feedback smuggled in with the iteration, but there needs to be feedback in the system about the system itself.

And because of #2, I'm calling BS. Which was not intended as a poop joke but I will pretend I meant it that way now if anyone asks.

Now do wages, adjusted for inflation, since 1971.
Yeah, I think the focus on economic growth as some magic thing is BS. What matters is making people happy. Of course that requires a certain material standard: decent size house, car, food, health care etc. But it doesn’t have to mean having the latest iPhone of biggest new flat screen every year.

I think it makes more sense to figure out what sorts of services needs to be grown to achieve the goal of society in terms of happiness and well being.

A lot of growth is kind of fake. It doesn’t really improve anything other than on paper.

Alrighty. I am a geezer. FVWM for 25 years, mas o menos. I just upgraded to fvwm git, package or local, on both Debian and FreeBSD. Partly because of fvwm I know way too much about HiDPI, and I was very happily using j4-menu-desktop as my chooser.

And then... rofi. Which I tried with fvmw3. I love you, whomever did this.

I am not sure how to work with berry but I am going to give it a serious try. Two pieces of configuration information I will have to ferret out are:

Can I have overlapping windows with automatic mouse focus and elevation, with configurable delays? How do I choose among the virtual desktops? rofi doesn't do these, it seems.
When I was 25 (1985) I asked my Dad that exact question. He said, it's the worst time to buy a house and it's the best time to buy a house, and, that's always true.

I asked him what he meant, and he said, it always seems like a bad time, but you can't really ever time it perfectly. You get a house you can afford. Do the best you can, work your way up, fixing it up, selling it and moving to one that's a little better. Then you wake up 40 years from now and you'll be glad you did it.

That turned out to be true for me for sure, living in my dream home now, glad I dug deep and did it. It was tough going at first but, owning a home is still the little guy's best investment. It was true then and I think it still is.
I wonder how that compares with Google Chrome relationship with Google...
This is one reason I refuse to go back to on-site work. I've got one of Unicomp's New Model M keyboards. Lovely piece of equipment, but if I didn't know better I could swear it had actually been manufactured by the Kalashnikov Concern in Russia because it can get that loud when I'm in the zone. You'll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands.
I think they have always lied. Perhaps in the past the press and the people were more credulous, that era came to an end with Nixon/Watergate and maybe now we have grown numb to it.

Certainly there were lies galore during the Kennedy/Johnson Vietnam years.

I saw this yesterday and I was so dismayed. This is something Trump would say: https://youtu.be/_57s3-ne7g0?t=821

I really don't want to see this kind of language in any party's politics. How can we hold all politicians to a higher standard? It has become completely untenable. It is a complete shit show. I don't think any President in the past would say something like this, I can't imagine Obama, Bush or Clinton telling the public they feel so much anger at someone that they'd like to shoot them.
Customer and employee are different situations. He was a data labeler and test operator working on Autopilot, and he had a YouTube channel where he criticized Autopilot using the free FSD beta access he was granted as a Tesla employee, and sold "Full self-driving beta" branded merchandise. Tesla fired him for the conflict of interest and for dangerous use of Autopilot, and he lost his free FSD beta access. I think it is fair for a company to not want to further employ someone with a conflict of interest like that. But you'll note that they didn't make him take down the videos. And he's still making new ones.
Are there more recent papers? I see one from 2016 [1] But, then again my assumptions are a bit dated as well. Was thinking: could a different horizon on a CNN mid-layer trigger a false positive? Perhaps, classify a slight rise as a bumper or some other obstacle?

Maybe a simpler system, like Comma.ai's cameras has looser tolerances. Somewhat akin to the one or two eyes of a Human driver.

Maybe it is policy. I could imagine the brand hit to Tesla for every crash - even due to driver error. Maybe phantom breaking is an artifact of erring on the side of caution. Maybe lawyers got involved. (The horror!)

Anyway, idle speculation, this.

I get what you're saying, but primaries are a thing, and the range of choices there is typically pretty broad. It's not like the general election is the first chance you get to express your opinion. And yea maybe you have good reason not to like the finalists, but if more people agreed with you, there would be a different nominee.

Feels like another reddit. Instead of doing another social media, why don’t you guys do social networking better. Social media is designed to be distracting, variable rewards addicting, and thus inherently monetizable by ads. Focus on the people and the relationships. Currently WT social is quickly filing up with affiliate spam links, climate change alarmism (even if we didn’t sign up for that category), and spammers. Hacker News is a lot better for news and better moderated.

Part higher, part additional rate + 9% student loan repayment + national insurance contributions

I'm nuking the student loan as fast as possible, especially with the interest rates being near extortion, so hopefully that will mean I get more take home in the future
Prop 13 also stabilizes property tax revenues.

When housing drops 10% in a year, my property tax bill, like most people who bought a few years go, goes up 2%.

Yes, my property tax bill also goes up 2% when property value jump 10%. But, the cost of govt services didn't jump 10% that year, so why should property tax go up that much?
If you want people to buy into denser, multifamily construction, you've got to make the walls, floors, and ceilings soundproof. I didn't mind hearing my twenty-something lesbian neighbors going at it upstairs, but I bet they minded the hell out of me jerking off while I listened to them. And I minded the fuck out of the woman beating the shit out of her kids next door because they kept interrupting her while she was watching Netflix.
It’s harder to use AirTags for this than other existing trackers. The tag will eventually start beeping if it’s traveling away from the owner. If you have an iPhone, you’ll get notified that a random AirTag is traveling with you.
If the argument was "Tesla shouldn't use the Autopilot name because some people are grossly misinformed about aspects of the aviation industry" then I'd have some sympathy for it. I'd still consider it a poor argument, but at least it's one I could comprehend and respect.

I had found one before I had ever heard of Markdown. It's called GNU Emacs. You may have heard of it.
Can those numbers be directly compared? For instance, I’d assume the proportion of highway miles driven is much higher for autopilot miles. And highway driving is much safer than city driving.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think airtags have a primary use not connected to killing things?

I think this is a better argument against allowing people to have 2 ton motorized killing machines.
MiaoYan

Lightweight Markdown app to help you write great sentences.

- *Fantastic*: Local use, security, syntax highlighting, dark mode, source file saving、international.
- *Beauty*: Minimalist design style, folder + file list + editor 3 column mode.
- *Fast*: Using Swift5 native development, the performance experience is much better compared to the Web.
- *Simple*: Very light, pure editor input experience, many shortcut keys to help you fast.
This is a dignified forum of intellectual engineers and hackers! I'm sure random_hackernews_poster has any fucking clue what they are talking about. Be worried, and freak out.
## Why do this

- I have tried many note-taking applications before, such as WizNote, Ulysses (no preview), Quiver (not updated for years), MWeb (complicated functions), Bear (Markdown images and other rich formats are not supported), for various reasons, I did not find a good Markdown application, so I had the idea of doing MiaoYan.
- My job is front-end development, but also can develop iOS App, love to toss new things, so develop MiaoYan as a fun leisure.

He could always temporarily disable location reporting, turn off his phone, or just not take it with him if he didn't want to be tracked during a certain time.

There's no equivalent option with AirTags, since they use ambient devices and can be carried without the bearer's knowledge. I understand what you're trying to argue, but I just don't see an equivalence here in terms of stalker enablement.

That's because a mass shooting is often defined as 3+ victims of gun violence in one incident. If you heard "Mass shooting in Times Square" most people wouldn't assume "three people shot in restaurant bathroom with handgun".

In NZ / Aus prices have skyrocketed something crazy...

People talk about supply shortages, but a) there seems to be a lot of building going on b) people will pass away c) housing density seems to be increasing d) people's wages haven't risen as quickly as house prices e) interest rates are heading upwards.

There will of course be new people coming of age and entering the market as well as immigration, but even so the price rises don't seem sustainable at all, and I imagine a lot of people will struggle to pay much higher interest rates with such high loan amounts...

This is all just an observers viewpoint - it'd be interesting to see people actually crunch some numbers on items such as I've listed above. I also believe there'll be large differences depending on location - even within the same country.

There are also changes in laws around housing- e.g. in NZ they're introducing laws to help increase density and reduce the perks for housing "investors".

There's definitely a lot going on.
Yay; progress! My experience was from last year. Will stop whining, now.

Fun fact: Mahler famously showed that if p/q is a rational number then |\pi - p/q| > 1/q^42. So we can't have a string of 4242T zeros after first 101T digits :-) The exponent 42 has since been improved by a series of works to 7.1032 - https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.06345

A long time ago, I worked on my Page Object Generator pet project, a desktop app allowing me to record/test page elements via Selenium Webdriver.

It was a time when I had to test an IE6-only enterprise web tool, And there was no option to copy CSS-selector in Chrome/Firefox.
I am not working in UI automation anymore (sad :( ) and lost interest in this project, but I think having a tool to record page objects and generate some smart automation code can still be quite helpful.
These are great example exercises, thank you for sharing them.

I think they may get at the heart of what I was trying to say though: while these clearly would make one better at solving software engineering problems, I'm not certain they would improve one's raw, general problem solving ability in an orthogonal discipline.

Some (likely imperfect) examples are:

- solving salary negotiation of a job/contract offer

- solving socio-political organizational problems in a company
I wonder if Archive.org could set up a similar scheme. I'd much rather let them have this kind of money than Wikipedia honestly.

I'm no economist, but my understanding is that it's the nature of our debt based financial system.

The money that exists in our system (except for an insignificant fraction) is loaned into existence. Borrowers must repay the principle and the interest. For this to be possible in aggregate, the money supply must grow, which means more loans must be issued....
This is crazy side-related but he mentions that his first purchase was a synth an a TEAC-3440 tape recorder. I bought this exact same tape recorder probably about 15 years ago for peanuts, called Tascam for a belt and spring, which they sent to me FOR FREE. I was able to figure out how to put these parts in as a 19 year old and get this thing working perfectly(it was pretty easy I think).

Anyway, I loved that tape deck. A good friend had found some german language tapes in Ann Arbor and gifted them to me which me and my bud used to record music over. I eventually gifted this tape deck to this friend. I think it is worth a decent chunk of change these days too!

Back then synths(and analog recording gear) were dirt cheap, I've made thousands and thousands of dollars on them just because we got into them into the 2000s as teens. Good times!
Timing any market is a fool's errand.

One thing you can always do, though, is ignore the opinions of an interested party. Realtors are the prime example. They will always tell you that "houses always go up, and this period we're living through -- that'll be just transitory. So buy now." Ignore them.

Another thing you can always do is ignore anything you read in the press. Those reporters just have space to fill, and they know nothing. If they do know anything, it's six months out of date.

If you're sure we're in a secular downturn for housing, like after the 2007 crash, then waiting a bit will be appropriate. Otherwise, just do what makes sense for own situation, and don't worry what "they" say.
I recently drove a BMW 750i with lane-following on a long trip and then he lane-following feature was terrifying. It seemed like it was doing the most brain dead line-following algorithm that made it “bounce” back and forth between the left and right sides of the lane. I couldn’t stop worrying that it was freaking out the other cars around me by careening towards them and yanking back in the other direction at the last moment. I sure hope Tesla autopilot is better than that.
There are notoriously large and ordinary income ranges in the UK where significant increases in gross income bring essentially no increase in net income. The amount of extra income you would need just to clear that gap so that you can realize more net income in so large that it isn't worth the effort.

Naturally people optimize around the fact that there are salary ranges that exhibit no increase in net income. It creates a lot of perverse incentives.

It really depends when you went to uni. My sister had free tuition and a grant. I had a small tuition fee and student loans (totally 9k at below inflation interest rate, now paid off). New students are unfortunately likely to face the kind of debt and terms you describe.

It’s a very sad situation. The conservative government have been running Britain into the ground since they took power after 10 years of very good governance by labour (reduced NHS waiting times, good economic growth, ability to deliver infrastructure projects in time and on budget, reduced crime, reduced child poverty, etc etc.) that was soured by the financial crisis. Then the conservatives grabbed power and shoved the country into reverse, doubling the national debt in the first four years through “austerity” policies designed to reduce spending that instead caused a double dip recession and negated any savings through reduced tax receipts. Then poverty and crime rose while the economy tanked and the social safety net and police and health services were gutted (my local area lost 1/4 of its police officers, for example). And all of that had to be blamed on Eastern European immigrants and Europe so we had Brexit.

David Cameron has to go down as the worst prime minister in the history of Britain. He’s been a complete disaster on every front. The current clown is just a sick result of Cameron’s incompetence.

What consequences were there, really, for the Gulf of Tonkin? I think lying was tacitly accepted in US politics since living memory.
I think when they say "system" they mean "computing stack" from the gate-level up. You can't have a different simple on top of silicon that expects another type of simple. It's too incompatible with the throughout increase that pipeline and the specific caching implementation give. Though I don't think Jonathon Blow is necessarily ignoring the underlying silicon expectations from the Livestream or two I've seen.
If you are switching between 3 applications placing each in turn maximized on your display indeed I would see no benefit from virtual desktops in this instance however the benefit is proportional to the average work needed to switch between states * the frequency of such a switch.

With the complexity of keeping track of which together rising with the number of windows.

If S1 consists of a single window maximized and S2 a different window maximized the cost of switching workspaces is just as high as clicking on say a taskbar or hitting alt tab.

Let us consider a very simple stacking window manager with 2 workspaces and a task bar.

Let us first disregard the second workspace.

Suppose one has taken the trouble to size 7 windows to fit on 3 monitors. First you drag one window to the left-hand side of the leftmost monitor. Then we drag one side then the other. Repeat 7 times over for each window to be placed on each monitor.

Now suppose we only have 3 applications we ought to be able to see together separate from the other 7. This is easier as they can be dragged to a display and maximized.

Now consider the hassle to recreate the state repeatedly. You don't need to resize it but you have to manually select first 7 then 3 then 7 then 3 applications to bring them to the forefront.

Now what if you want to show 3 windows from the rightmost monitor then put them back. Now we are stuck resizing each in turn.

Now let us fully utilize the workspaces and separate the states on different desktops. Suddenly the switch between S1 and S2 is a click. The operation of moving the applications displayed on one end of S1 and showing them on the other end of S2 is of course just as much of a hassle as it ever was because workspaces encompass all monitors at once.

Now let us lastly switch to using per monitor workspaces. Now the last operation is as trivial as the first at the expense of making the process of changing all 3 at once more expensive. To decide which makes sense we would consider how frequently we want to do each operation.

If we find that we frequently need to switch multiple monitors at once we can trivially add that back but not the reverse.
