The issue is that software developers (correctly) identify the burndown chart as useless due to estimation in software being a joke.

Software developers' mistake is not realizing that "linking the tickets" into Epics that managers can search is hugely important.

If the project director has no clue about what tickets people are working on things go south fast.

All developers should agree on that.
My best travel purchase in years has been my silicone butt pad. It makes longer flights so much better.
Not by motion in-game when you're body's not moving? I've tried the spider-man like swinging games, and I never got my "VR-legs" that other people got with it. I got seriously motion sick and had to sleep it off.

I only do VR games now where people don't have to developer "VR-legs" for it.
Got a link for your favorite model ?
Yeah, and instead of contacting the authors directly, you are making a public case about how unfair the NC license is.
I know and exactly my point.

If ETH PoS was the end all solution of PoS, we wouldn't need Mina. Everyone would just focus on making ETH PoS better (or just getting it shipped). In a similar way that there is just one Bitcoin, the rest of the contenders (BCH/BSV) are just shitcoins nobody cares about.

Instead, we have dozens of competing PoS chains which have little value, debatable security (there just isn't enough of a financial / political target to attack, yet), and even less real world utility (because nobody is developing apps for them). While ETH PoS is sitting there with broken unit tests.

Hopefully that explains my arguments a bit better.

What was the size of the company?

Generally speaking any organisation, given enough time, can establish processes that are better than JIRA with a certain amount of luck.

However, that's the best case scenario.

It's a standard distribution. Sometimes a 100 person project gets by fine with email. Sometimes it all goes to shit.

A tool like JIRA is, on average, a lot better than doing it via email only.
>About the whole “existence” bit - I think you’re unintentionally arguing a straw man? I never asserted that not having a rainbow logo meant that you must clearly hate the gays.

Then I misunderstood what you were saying. I guess that goes to show the risk we take when we try to read more into the text than what it says.

>For certain? Not from the text, no. I’ve been clear this whole time that I feel it is likely what motivated it

The OP either posted well after an app changed their icon or an app took 20 days to change their icon (or something in between).

It could be related to pride month, but I don't know that you can draw that conclusion.

Juneteenth seems more likely and makes his argument more poignant since the icon is going to change back in a day.

Regardleas, changing an icon for a day or a month is ridiculous and annoying.

>That said, I found a few transphobic comments in the authors HN history with no real effort, so I feel pretty comfortable with the assumption.

Do you have examples? Also, I don't consider dead naming or using pronouns the trans person used to use but not longer to be transphobic, so if you have posts other than that I would like to see them.

>I would encourage you to learn to recognize this kind of dog-whistle. The explicit omission of what political group motivated a rant centered on politics is a common rhetorical technique.

You know what else is a rhetorical technique, calling people transphobic based on nothing more than conjecture.

We are at a point where everything and nothing can be considered a dog whistle.

> Imagine you walk up to the DMV and get a private key (password).

So, the government has control over your identity. If it wants to shut you down, it would just refuse to verify your certificate. And you'd instantly lose access to every website, bank account, phone number, etc. you had. The government would also automatically know every time you create any account anywhere - as they get a ping on their auth services. Does you trust in the government extend this far? Fo you have any politician you do not trust? Imagine he or she becomes in control of the system. Are you still OK with the government controlling the keys to your life?

Ok, let's assume it does. What happens when (note, I do not say if) somebody unauthorized gets access to the keys stored at the DMV? They'd be able to fake any identity the want to. And the only way to fix it is to force everybody (hundreds of millions of people) to re-certify. Imagine how well will that go.

> Track me all you want as long as you don't know who I am

There's massive body of research that indicates unless you take special measures, like injecting noise into the system, tracking can lead to identification in a very short time. Just think about it - tracking will immediately tell where you live, where you work, where you shop, which businesses you patronize, which music do you listen to, etc. etc. - how many people have exactly the same profile as you do? Likely not many. Now if at any point connected to your profile any piece of your identity leaks out - your anonymity is gone forever.

As a freshman in college, strategic use of alcohol was probably the best social decision I ever made. Safe, moderate drinking before socializing got rid of my anxiety and made me tons of diverse friends that I still keep to this day.

NFS works great until you lose the network and your client locks up.
I've been hit by this too. Can anyone advise how to migrate from Redis toGo to Heroku Redis? Perhaps its as simple as uninstalling redis-to-go and installing e.g. something like

heroku addons:destroy redistogo

>The less powerful have been "canceled" for decades

I was under the impression that was a bad thing. Are we saying it's not longer a bad thing if it affects other people? Or is it more a type of schadenfreude?
It's really a terrible experience. Especially since no one else can see it and simply upvote it. Instead everyone has to do the busy work all over again.
Are you not getting applications or they are falling out of the funnel.

The take home test for a high level individual sounds asinine, but it was not clear where the problem lay.
“Why NFS Sucks” (2006), picking on a protocol that was over 20 years old at that point. Also cites “The Unix-Haters Handbook” in the abstract. Two strikes against its credibility already.

However, I did skim the paper, and it seems halfway reasonable, so I suppose I should read the whole thing. Of course nothing is above criticism, and there are many valid criticisms of NFS; but leading with “sucks” is just lazy.
>Google's "iron grip" on the web mostly boils down to Chrome

No? Google's grip on the web comes from their near-monopoly levels between search, email, docs, maps, advertising, Android, classroom, and everything in between. Chrome is the icing on the cake that strengthens their entire ecosystem. Google was an internet superpower before they released Chrome in 2008.

>the market says that Apple's approach is much more lucrative.

You're absolutely right, Apple makes more money than Google, but I find Google to be more dangerous than Apple. Revenue =/= Danger. At the end of the day Apple is a hardware company competing with other HW companies so they are beholden to their branding as the most luxury/conscientious/privacy/hardware/etc-focused company and create lock-in through synergy between their products.

Compared to Google I don't think your examples of Apple appropriating public infrastructure is accurate. Google offers all of those services, in addition to others that are relied upon much more. Search is used by 92.5% of users [1] and that gives them power to do nearly whatever they want with how people consume and find information. Combined with their data collection abilities and AI I'm surprised there hasn't been any scandals or leaks around data manipulation.

Amazon and Google's potential for misuse or power terrify me in ways that Apple doesn't even come close.

I believe, assuming it exists, the flaw in this style of thinking is the unwillingness to hop on or believe in something new, when its marginal utility is still questionable. Of course, for many reasons, being early on what will become better enough to be an established part of society has advantages.

Just a thought: Why not pay the fly-over states to build new housing ($128,868 on average for a new 1,200 sq ft home in Iowa [1]), to accommodate "low-income Californians"? You could tie the expatriate home subsidies to online jobs in California, and reduce your costs to less than 13% of what they are now. Many communities in Iowa have gigabit residential optical Internet, and the cost of living is substantially less than California. It could be great for both the economies of California and Iowa (or wherever).

So the solution is to helicopter more money on people. That's worked out so well so far. Because we don't let people just starve here or turn a blind eye to illicit methods for the jobless.

Maybe looking around and seeing the restaurants can't hire enough people to service full seatings, yet there's lots of people still not working. These aren't great resignation people living off savings. It's the social welfare polices that were dumped on us due to covid.

Let's just continue to pile more failed policies on top of the last two years of policy failure. That will surely fix it. If you want to ease inflation, how about get people working to produce more than is consumed! Because having people not producing but still consuming is what got us in to this mess!
> So if we help our spouses that makes us subservient to them?

I don't know the distinction you're making here. Help and service are the same thing. The point is that it's easy and not notable to eschew computers if you have servants. There's no closer analog to "Let them eat cake!"
Oh you're right. It went over my head somehow.
Granularity is fine and often welcome, but following the unsubscribe link should also show what else is enabled and let me disable it on the spot.

May I suggest that you use a cheap VPS running seafiles and sync the encrypted libraries locally to your machines. You get encrypted, versioned/iterative real time sync as backup in the cloud. It is also accessible from anywhere else with the password. If the vps is lost you still have local copies.

And/or cron driving rsync, rsnapshot, or both for iterative backup to the vps over sshfs. I actually use this to pull data back from the vps to my nas for local backup of documents.

This tells me it's not ZT fault, but rather everlasting update and restriction nonsense from windows is a culprit
My "speedrun":

var simulateClick = function (elem) {
// Create our event (with options)
var evt = new MouseEvent('click', {
bubbles: true,
cancelable: true,

});

// If cancelled, don't dispatch our event
var canceled = !elem.dispatchEvent(evt);
};

var run = () => {
var el = document.querySelector('input[type=checkbox]:not(:checked)')
simulateClick(el)
}

setInterval(run, 100)
why not both? In fact, the post implies it’s all.
If you think that was bad, just listen to what Theo de Raadt had to say.

"NFSv4 is a gigantic joke on everyone....NFSv4 is not on our roadmap. It is a ridiculous bloated protocol which they keep adding crap to. In about a decade the people who actually start auditing it are going to see all the mistakes that it hides.

"The design process followed by the NFSv4 team members matches the methodology taken by the IPV6 people. (As in, once a mistake is made, and 4 people are running the test code, it is a fact on the ground and cannot be changed again.) The result is an unrefined piece of trash."

You can get very good body language through, but... it will cost you quite a bit in additional hardware (trackers and add-ons). The demand is clearly there and the supply is catching up (various competitors). I think competition will drive down the cost.

Audio is likewise a matter of cost. And manufacturers not cheaping out on components, I'm looking at you HTC (and the notoriously horrible Rift S too).

I'm looking forward to programmable smells based on a combination of basic smell cartridges. That's totally a thing people are working on.

Touch is a hell of a lot harder to solve. More could be done to provide good haptic feedback. Haptic vests and facial interfaces already exist (at additional cost, of course), but the problem is the more crap you have to add to your body the more inconvenient (and sweaty) VR gets. I believe providing better VR touch interfaces is key to the development of the technology.

And I really, really don't want to taste anything in VR!
I've read some. Doesn't align with my personal experience is all I can say. I can't remember a case where a candidate refused to do such a test, or that we never heard back from after letting them know that was our policy.
The value chain is: carriers -> hardware -> OS -> platforms / services -> apps.

People forget about the carrier bit.

Whatever happens on the 'internets', well, carriers can bill for.

If the 'internets' becomes all that more indispensable, your MB/s rate just doubled.

It's not particularly competitive, and those carriers also own content, and other parts of the value chain.

Though their profitability may be lower, their revenues are not, they are just as powerful as Apple.

There needs to be more competition among carriers.

Then we can also apply some rules to Apple and Google about dividing up the value chain so that 'apps' and 'hardware/os' compete on independent layers.

The responses vary, but what did you have in mind when you asked?
You're right. Unionization reduces competition in the workforce. That's kind of the whole point of them. If unions tried to create a healthy competitive labor market, their bargaining power would be reduced.

I'm not sure why this is controversial to point out.
It is their app actually. You gave it to them, remember?
f$*ked oculus rift user here:

Their drivers caused what has probably been the only windows bluescreens I've seen in a decade.

Then because they can't provide individual downloadable versions (or for that matter even recover them from their build artifacts, per support) anytime something breaks following an update your SOL until they fix it, if ever. (this is part of a larger dark pattern of creating "installers" that actually are only downloaders that download whatever version is current and install it without saving the downloaded image).

I'm in the situation where about a year and a half ago they pushed an update which broke my setup, and they can't seem to fix it, nor are they apparently motivated. The solution is basically buy a new computer/reinstall the OS/whatever and see if that fixes it. I'm not the only one, reddit is full of people having various problems like this, and some have even gone so far as to create restore point style scripts for saving/restoring the install.

Their USB drivers have been trash, or they have some requirement that isn't clear, which means that its a game of plugging in the headset and sensors into random USB ports until it decides everything is going to work (maybe).

I could go on, but their software people obviously aren't up to the task of providing kernel mode code, or debugging problems in the field.

Funny bit, one of their recruiters poped me an email shortly after I gave up on their software/support teams actually being capable of fixing things. Right into the trash it went, I can't imagine working for a dev shop that can't even recover older versions of their build artifacts to do a/b testing.
This scenario you speak of is on the center stage where everyone can realize it and see it: game consoles. The console itself used to buy the manufacturer a gaming platform to collect license fees. Now that being a gaming platform means reaching people on mobile, the console makers are _desperately_ trying to reach mobile without giving up gaming revenue share to phone makers. This has led cloud platforms like AWS and GCP to build cloud-based game delivery systems (Luna and Stadia, respectively). The issue is the mobile PWAs that are built to connect to these cloud platforms are clunky and have special ways to install / add to mobile home screen. To stream using proper native apps, these platforms need to separate each game into a separate App Store game entry. Kind of bullshit. In my opinion, this is the most interesting area where the power struggler will play out because it’s not the little guy with no power getting bent over here. These are companies like Sony and Microsoft. Just watching on the sideline with my popcorn.

It is sort of complicated. I understand why Microsoft and Sony would fight for gaming revenue as the playing field moves to a more “all screens everywhere” platform. At the same time I think: what have these middle men actually done in the past couple of game console cycles to warrant a platform they deserve to defend? They have basically been living off the innovation of x86 and GPUs made by others and packaging it in a power hungry box that plugs into a TV made by someone else. They are living off network effects not innovations. From a hardware standpoint, Apple has earned the right to pull in more of the profits in my view. They innovated across the entire stack to build lower power draw, high graphic intensity, custom silicon, deeper integration etc.
1. Identify a smart, motivated person in your company who is interested in the position.

2. Train said person to do the job.
A union can't fix that scenario. You need a coop with employee ownership to have any influence over the business.
The Wirecutter article is pretty bad though:

> But it isn’t a true-HEPA purifier, or a very powerful purifier, period. It’s designed to capture PM2.5—that is, particles 2.5 microns in diameter and above, in contrast to the 0.3-micron HEPA standard. That means it’s optimized for larger airborne particles such as pollen and mold spores, rather than for very fine particulates like wildfire smoke, as HEPA filters are.

First, "True-HEPA" has no legal or scientific meaning, so that's not a great look.

Second, and a minor point, the 0.3-micron standard related to the US HEPA standard, not the EU one. It is true that acording to IKEA it doesn't meet the EU standard for HEPA (barely), but we don't know whether it meets the US one. Eliding the difference between different standards isn't helpful

Third, and more seriously, PM2.5 means particles 2.5 microns in diameter and smaller, not larger, and PM2.5 filters are designed to capture particles 2.5 microns and smaller. Mold spores are mostly 4 to 20 microns, pollen averages around 25 microns, so while the IKEA unit may or may not be good at filtering wildfire smoke, it is not optimised for mold and pollen and is probably terrible at it, so that entire line of analysis is just backwards.

That's a lot of errors to pack into a short passage, and it really gives the impression that the author doesn't really understand or care about the topic.

As for CADRs, the linked post digs into the tests pretty well, and I agree with the conclusion - they're not credible. Note specifically that they get a variance of over 2.4 times between tests, and in somes cases measure a CADR vastly higher than the manufacturers claimed CADR. If you're reading a benchmark of a new graphics card and someone ran a benchmark twice and got 100 FPS once and 240 FPS the second time, and they just shrug and pick the number most convenient for their conclusion, you'd probably think something was up.

(That being said, the linked post is a bit iffy too. I'd call out specifically that they could have done a better job of acknowledging that US HEPA standards are a thing, that PM2.5 filters are a thing even if they're not a standard, and that technically E12 filters aren't HEPA, even if that's an arbitrary distinction most people ignore. But they're quite right that the Wirecutter - on the review of the IKEA unit - does in fact seem to think air filters work like sieves. Certainly I can't think of any other explanation for that passage about PM2.5 being good for pollen!)
Yeah. I want to read about the real opinions and experiences of real people, not some paid-for marketing piece. I used to search reddit for that kind of thing but it's probably been compromised by now. I wonder if there even is a place that isn't. Real place gets created, real people start going there, marketers realize that's where the people are and immediately start working the place.
I guess? I think of it as a simple physics problem. Walking and cycling requires distances between destinations to be small. And individual cars, especially the American variety, require tremendous amounts of space. The two situations require complete opposite parameters.
Or buy a reconditioned thin client for 20-30 USD on eBay.

Did you even read to the second paragraph of the article??? He says specifically in the source... not the render.
