My favourite gripe about text editing in Jira is that the ticket body and ticket comments require subtly different formatting mark-up, and the wysiwyg widgets for formatting are also ever-so-slightly different.

This results in a fun game of me trying out single backticks, triple backticks, braces, double braces, other miscellaneous punctuation symbols, and various indents before giving up and trying the formatting toolbar, only to waste another couple of minutes clicking around to see what works.

Somehow I can never remember what worked either, so I find myself repeating this ridiculous dance on at least a weekly basis.

Although IIRC, there was a recent update that at least harmonised the code formatting syntax between editors, although I can't remember if it actually worked....

Seriously.

I applied for one position who asked what I wanted, then told me that the top of their range was $5K less than my minimum, was I still interested? LOL, no. My minimum is my minimum now, no dropping it for a hard luck story or company in a cheaper area. Been there, done that, burned that t-shirt.

I think historically there’s been a preference in some areas—like SF Bay—to build single-family homes, sure. But more recently there are a lot of higher-density projects being built around SF Bay, at least in South and East Bay and to a lesser degree in the North Bay, and it’s my understanding that many of these have been planned years and years before the construction actually started. The delays have been virtually all regulatory/bureaucratic.

Most notably, they were very far behind on electronic banking and paperless processes.

Getting a Shinkansen travel pass as a tourist is a solid hour of paperwork. With pages and pages of dead trees. And stamps! It was crazy to see that in 2019 in such a highly developed country.

My impression (as an outsider) is that these paper-pushing jobs are allowed to persist to keep people employed who would otherwise have nothing to do.
I used to really like ICQ's floating usernames and email-like modal. A message came in and a little icon appear beside the username (which I used to float in the unused part of my menu bar) along with an audible notification "uh oh!" You double click it, a small chat window opened up with your conversation history and a place to type. You then typed and send your message and the window disappeared until they replied. It was great because you could see who the messages were from without having to use any screen real estate.

Then things like MSN Messenger got popular. Protocols got locked down and screen real estate got consumed. For some reason everyone wanted to use Google Talk (which was horrible but at least spoke XMPP so folks on Pidgin could still chat with their friends). BB messenger taught a few tricks to Apple. Then facebook messenger happened, whatsapp, wechat, etc.

In the background, there were programs like teamspeak and mumble that were trying to do voice chat for gaming reasons. In a way, these were the precursors to Discord who now, for some reason, dominates what people consider a good chat UI. I personally think it's a bloated mess. In my opinion, ICQ had the best chat UI. Because it stayed out of the way.

It's too bad it turned out to be spyware! Hah
Fair point - didn't really think of it like that before.

I suspect it's bullshit.
A wire on its own is not computational, neither is an amino acid but they do make up computational systems. It seems like a bit of an arbitrary distinction
The author didn’t bother to state which political statements they were upset about; neither did they bother to say something like “all of them,” which would have been trivial. So we are left to guess which political activism they find annoying.

Given the timing, there’s a very good chance that it’s related to Pride month here in the US. It seems even more probable when you consider the context: very few companies change their logos for Juneteenth (the other contender), but many companies slap a rainbow on it for Pride.

So: odds are, the author is upset about having LGBTQ “activism” pushed on their devices.

I would invite everyone to remember this the next time someone wants a “politics-free” workspace. Specifically, remember that a vague assertion that LGBTQ people exist (a rainbow, on a logo), is what some folks consider “political.”

Almost none of that is true depending on which version of Jira we are talking about and what type of project you have chosen.

I'm in the Jira is actually pretty good camp. I've administered Jira instances from the ground up, including installation, integrating it with directory services, customizing workflows or just as a user in large and small organizations.

The defaults even way back when actually made quite a bit of sense. The default workflow for many project types were very workable. Some transitions make more sense than others. It was also quite tedious to create transitions from "all other states" to some state. So admins were incentivized to only allow transitions that immediately made sense to them and not bother with the others. From the end user perspective this obviously looks like draconian overlordship. While in reality in many cases its just too tedious. Atlassian has heard user complaints though and an "all states can transition here" option is available since some time ago and the default workflow for some types of projects are basically just a few workflow states that all have this transition as the only possible one. Basically transition from any state to any other state. No transition screens. That's pretty open.

If your organization chooses to instead use this very very configurable tool to lock things down you can't blame Jira. Locked down workflows and transitions, restructured editability etc do have their place in many valid use cases. A simple one being as a customer facing tool where you need to enforce certain things directly because your customer is not first going to learn your conventions and then self apply these.

The same goes for mandatory fields. The only mandatory field you have to choose yourself really is the issue summary. Everything else if mandatory by default has default values. I have used many a Jira instance where Priority (a default mandatory field that also has a default value though) was all but ignored by everyone even if it was still on screen.

Can you elaborate on the reports that only micromanagers would ever use? I agree that some of them can be used by micromanagers as can a lot of Jira functionality. There are many that can also be very useful directly in the hands of teams.

Team managed projects are awesome because sharing Jira admin rights in a large org was hard. Because things are so configurable a good set of naming rules were essential. It was usually easier to set up individual instances for projects instead of having a shared instance for large orgs. And if you centralize administration too much then changes grind to a halt. I have shared admin right with many others successfully though where these standards were adhered to by everyone and changes to work flows, issue and custom field definitions and such were easy to get through. Just required discipline.
I have to admit I don't fully understand the issue you're talking about, but I'd like to find out more. Could you give an example? I've booked trains entirely via DB from Basel Bad Bf to Copenhagen, for example, but perhaps you mean something else?
> Trying to operate on a bunch of tickets all at the same time (e.g. move all tickets in this status into some other status) requires a lot of time.

Have you used the bulk issue change tool? The UI isn't necessarily very user-friendly but I would not label it as requiring a lot of time, I actually feel it works quite well for this use case.
FAANG type interviews are all day affairs with 5+hr of interview and breaks in between.

You can select messages and press C-o to open the "Move" dialog, which has a select-as-you-type interface. (For example, I might press T, R to select a Trash folder, then press down-arrow to jump to the Trash folder in my second account.) It's very, very few keys.

However, if you're always moving to the same folder, I think you could define an Action with a keyboard shortcut.
Which is surprising, since LVT is pretty antithetical to Redfin's and Zillow's business model. The real estate industry typically revolves around the land rather than the buildings on that land, and the buying and selling of land is exactly the thing LVT seeks to obsolesce.
As a singular factor, cutting down on carbon emissions that are caused via flying is a better leverage point than many other interventions to slowing climate change precisely because the consumption is so high per user. For road transport, industry, and electricity production, those provide benefit for orders of magnitude more people, and individual actors' choices have less impact.

It is probably wiser to judge based on emissions per user.
I'm with you, but I tend to stay in one place for a long time, to get to know the area and make connections, and for my own mental health. Minimalism seems better when you're constantly moving.

Besides, one suitcase for a 1-3 month trip is still minimalist by average standards!
Shouldn't these tools be used primarily at the team level? Large organizations don't necessarily have larger teams. I'm not sure why it should make a big difference if you have 2 or 200 teams of 5 using the tool.
> I see no suggestion in it that it ought to be cheaper

So, it's both "so expensive" and there was "no suggestion that it ought to be cheaper?" Cool. So, what in his inkblot of a post did you read as the solution to keeping violent criminals from subjecting society to their violence?
Yea yea yea...but you still use it because the alternatives while better performing and even more secure...are not as feature rich or as well known.

I feel like this thread comes up in one way or another every few months but in a place where people almost have a hellbent desire to reinvent wheels nobody has reinvented this one in say...go or rails or whatever.

Why? Because for all of the hate jura actually does what it does pretty well when it's working and for most people and most businesses that aren't your homelab it works just fine provided you pay someone to maintain and administer it.
Dollar has been going up in value, not down.
You must have been using some alternate-universe Jira. The Jira installations I've had to suffer with fall over bulk editing a handful of issues. I've never seen a "bulk edit" like feature implemented as poorly as it is in Jira. It shouldn't take 15 seconds to complete a simple bulk edit of a handful (single-digits) of issues.
Could you elaborate on the Australian laws?
I posted about this on LI recently:

"What is the value of cryptocurrency/blockchain/web3? Why should anyone care?

Here is my opinion (as a developer who studied and built blockchains):

It allows digital information (value) to be open/free (as in not under the control or in the power of another) and virtually permanent.

That's basically it.

If you want digital money, we already got that (Cash app, Venmo, online/mobile banking, etc.).

You want digital collectibles, that's been around forever in games, etc.

But I think we all know most people see value purely in the speculation. Be careful not to confuse all the "innovation" and hype as real substance, because most of the time someone is trying to PUMP and DUMP, which can make a lot of money. Just look at any of the thousands of blockchains/coins that are no longer used or traded, but were supposed to change the world."
The biggest difference is that cancel culture is slightly inconveniencing the powerful.

The less powerful have been "canceled" for decades, not just in the US, but everywhere. How many courses on Marxism/Communism do you see in US academia? In the meanwhile, US colleges have entire departments dedicated to Capitalism (Business school). In the Soviet Union, the opposite was true. (For the record, I'm extremely pro capitalism, and to the extent I criticize it it's because I believe that it can get better, whereas AFAICT, other economic systems have largely failed except in very specific and limited scenarios).
You can motivate juniors by things other than money: experience, gaining industry contacts, and filling a resume so that they can move on to…

… more senior roles with actual money on offer instead of intangibles.

You’re trying to hire senior staff the same way as junior staff.

This won’t work.

PS: I’m starting to suspect why you’re losing your juniors as soon as they get some experience…

>>But of course destroying wetlands to build your house was entirely reasonable.

* No. I didn't build it, I bought it already built, and no wetlands were damaged, it's 100' away, and thev'e got strict measures in this town. And if you think that a single family home outside the buffer zone has the same impact as 300 units in five buildings built ON the wetlands has the same impact, that's ummm, some next-level ignorance.

The strict conservation zoning measures apply to any work - just replacing a porch footing 20 inches inside a zone requires several permits. Planning, work & expense. Everyone here incurs those costs to maintain a standard of living.

>>In other words, "let them eat cake"

Not even close

The point is that destroying value that exists, and value that people have worked significant parts of their lives to create, is a very bad idea.

It is a nonstarter because the ppl that worked to create & maintain those standards vote in far greater numbers than the people complaining. Just a relevant fact. (And threating "f around and find out" is great performance but zero votes - in how many elections have you voted?)

Accusing the people who own nice properties of being motivated by selfishness and greed is not only offensive to the people whose votes you need, it is also exactly 100% wrong.

If they were actually selfish & greedy, they would not be putting in large extra work & expense to maintain standards, they'd be tearing down zoning to build as much as they could on every square foot of their lot to extract maximum value.

They are not. I watched a town where I lived vote out zoning for just such considerations. It was driven by developers, but a lot of it was "why should I have to get permission to build a barn or an in-law apt?".

The same town voted a few years later to restore even stronger zoning.

The FACT of the matter is: while unrestrained development may initially create more units, it actually sucks, badly, for everyone but the fly-by-night developers.

Which means that the article's argument is wrong. People are spending sweat and money to actively NOT get the maximum dollar value out of their homes, because building quality of life is more important.

If you want to go after the real problems, it is not zoning, any more than it's young people having Netflix subscriptions.

A good place to start is with the problem of rental units for "passive income", for running AirBnBs, and housing being purchased by hedge funds and the like. Heavily tax anything that isn't a primary residence, and you'll get a lot of units back on the market fast, and at good prices.

i think you did disservice to yourself by optimizing for minimizing downtime between jobs. You should've played the field longer and gone for the highest bidder. I am 100% sure you are not getting paid your worth because no FAANG type company finishes the process in 1 week.
The problem is that when people are suffering now, they don’t want to be told to wait a decade or two for current luxury housing stock to filter down and become affordable. Just imagine closing a local food bank and replacing it with a vague promise that the local grocery store prices will improve. How well is that going to go over?

Long term, we do need more market rate (“luxury”) housing stock. But they cannot be instead of trying to help people who need it now

Some places do social housing where they rent a fraction of the units to upper income individuals to subsidize the rest. However in the US funding sources generally have rules that say the units can only be rented to households making less than X% of the area median income. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing: even in a properly functioning housing market there are going to be some people who cannot afford mark rate housing, and the assumption is that everyone else will rent market rate units

Cryptocurrency is not money... yet.

Money is inherently a liability of the issuer. No one is liable to accept bitcoin (for example) as payment, therefore it is not money.

However, if you can build a currency that represents real world assets, liabilities, and/or collateral, then it potentially becomes money, and can solve real problems such as liquidity in markets.

> But the NFT as a ticket thing is valid

No it isn’t. That’s exactly my point. There is no real problem being solved here, because clearly, events (even illegal ones!) that required tickets for admission have worked fine for ages without NFTs.

This is the problem with most proposed blockchain applications: they have no mechanism to compel behavior in the physical world. Someone controls access to this rave; at the end of the day, the only reason that they accept blockchain tokens instead of entries in a centralized database is because they’ve decided to arbitrarily.

You could totally feasibly create a private club whose members you track yourself in a spreadsheet (allowing them to sell their membership to other people, or not, as you prefer). Someone else, or more likely yourself, could then decide to give your members access to private parties, and everything would work the same way.

The only thing NFTs give you is irrevocability of the initially stated membership rules: with my example of a private club tracked in a spreadsheet, you could choose to change the rules at any time (say, charging a fee for anyone who wants to transfer ownership). You couldn’t for NFTs. But this advantage of NFTs is somewhat illusory because, again, whoever controls access to benefits in the physical world can themselves change the rules at any time, and so you haven’t really changed the number of parties you have to trust. Whatever organization is running these raves might decide tomorrow that you need a Super Duper Bored Ape that costs extra or has different transferability characteristics, and you’re back where you started.

Conversely, to some extent I can't specify, if someone senior does applies to a "regular" job, it might mean their former coworkers don't want to work with them...
Which is funny because 99% of what project managers seem to be about is making sure work gets done. So the first thing they do is deploy a hurdle to this by ensuring they use a tool which is time consuming and confusing for the people who do the work (usually developers to use) and enforce it's usage.

JIRA is so slow and the UI so clunky the project managers where I work use some type of spreadsheet upload mechanism with XML spreadsheets to automate the cruft creation. It's fun to watch.
It sounds like you may be looking for a very narrow band of skills. Awkwardly, people who are into systems administration were often there _because_ they didn't have to write code and people who were into coding were often there _because_ they didn't have to do systems administration.

DevOps as a concept is only about 10 years old, and a lot fewer people were doing it towards the start. There just aren't that many really senior people out there.

My recommendation would be to think about specific skills you would like to add to the team, rather than a generic skill level, and see if you can get creative about filling those. If you need platform expertise, can you pull from defense contractors & teach them the social norms of your company on the fly? If you need someone who can lead culture building, does that have to be the same person who has the deep platform expertise?

If you really need all the things in one person, you need some reason why they'd want to work for you instead of Google. Which usually means either paying through the nose, or offering something about the culture that appeals to a niche audience. Having a particular point of view can be a winning strategy, rather than trying to appeal to everyone all at once.

After a couple of years away, I returned last week. Yes, the e-bike program looks quite promising. Closed State Street is a no-brainer, although I've heard a lot of NIMBY-types are opposing it for some reason.

But, after living in San Francisco for a couple of years and becoming used to riding my bike everywhere, I had a realization that while on paper Santa Barbara should be much more inviting than SF for bikes, in practice it's weirdly almost less inviting because drivers do not seem interested in sharing the road at all and there are very, very few bike lanes. Most of the main one-way "through streets" that run north-south in Santa Barbara like De La Vina, Santa Barbara, Anacapa, etc. are decidedly bike hostile because people drive very fast on them and there is no bike lane.

One way to solve this is to make State St, Bath St, and Garden St dedicated north-south bike thoroughfares, and give all of the east-west streets that cross State St. bike lanes. Biking through Santa Barbara would then be a matter of biking north or south on a dedicated, safe thoroughfare before turning off east or west until you arrive where you need.

As it stands, not really very inviting to bike in, _especially_ if you don't know the city by heart..

I agree. Memorizing algorithms to answer leetcode questions have their benefits but it’s extremely rare that a front end web developer would need those skills. If they did, that would mean the backend engineers aren’t using the right approach to organize and serve data to the client.
