Migration was easy, it was decentralised, had a famous original author & a huge famous project using it and had a lot of "hip" source code platforms such as github, gitorious, bitbucket (pre-atlassian) and gitlab.

I'm not surprised it won tbh.

Game companies are still using Perforce though.
>Assuming this is legal at all according to current employment contracts, it's a huge pain for the new employer's payroll and more stuff to keep track for the employee's income tax.

Is it actually? I run a small business, and have trialled people a few times. I normally just transfer them the $x and report it as a business expense, same as you'd do with a contractor.

Maybe it's not technically 100% compliant, but I'd be incredibly surprised if the tax office kicked up a stink about something so petty.

(Then again, maybe it's just a "she'll be right mate" attitude that permeates even government departments here in Australia)
Exactly this. I can't think of a better way to punch yourself in the groin as a recruitment activity. Be transparent because it's respectful.

I worked for a company that did pre-infiniband HPC interconnect drivers (Myricom) in the 2000s. We supported N-different *nixes (Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, Tru64, Aix, and probably more I'm forgetting), Mac OS X and Windows in the same codebase. At least 50% of the driver and 95% of the userspace code was OS independent. In order to do this, our drivers were not "typical" drivers. Eg, we used ioctls everywhere (even on OSX) for driver/library communication.
If you said "please please please not Jira", what other options did y'all suggest that you thought would be better?

At the very least, use the same markup language for both Confluence and Jira.
I find the concepts of working with 2D windows or planes in a VR setting to be so odd. Isn't using a monitor in physical space better in every way? What am I missing?
If you use Ninja, you can create a job pool for linking, separate from compiling, and restrict how many simultaneous linker jobs are run. You can even create and set job pools for Ninja through CMake, if you use that in your tooling.

Unfortunately GNU Make offers no such mechanism. And for Ninja build generation I don't think Meson does it either.
Normally you can make an account while on a non-blocked IP, then use that account on the blocked-IP.
> Benefits and salary are good (though salary isn't posted in the ad)

Even before seeing your hiring process (and I agree with the other comments about that), not listing a salary means I've already scrolled past your ad.

We're in an employee's market right now, and there are plenty of opportunities out there that are transparent about the comp package (and have shorter hiring processes).
That's not a home. It's a piece of land with a structure on it that needs to be demolished before the land can be used for anything.

Also, the purchaser is sometimes on the hook for the back taxes (in his case $6K). I'm not sure how MI law works, but if the purchaser is on the hook then he's actually selling a lot with a condemned house for $6,500. Which is not an amazing deal, since vacant land in nicer rust belt cities goes for $10K-$30K and demolition is expensive. Again, not sure, but if that's how it works in MI then it makes sense that he's having trouble selling a lot with a condemned building and $6K in back taxes at pretty much any price. You're going to burn mid five figures before you have lien-free empty land, which can be had at that price with much less hassle.

In some cities, a condition of sale for city-owned property is that the buyer rehabs or rebuilds within a given timeframe.

> Giving an acre to a homeless person and relocating them there though would be a death sentence.

That's probably a massive over-statement -- even in the most dangerous communities in the US a homeless man probably isn't going to be killed for no reason. And this is Detroit, not the Alaskan wilderness, so there are shelters and so on. But it is true that the land would be totally worthless to a homeless person.
Thanks for the clarification, I might have misread your OP. Legal responsibility is an interesting angle, somewhat concerned about its practicality in the land of punitive damage, see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v._McDonald%27s_Restau...
She even makes an indirect point about this when mentioning her earlier experiences:

I hope that works out, more often than not, if there's no official new maintainer, distros keep doing what they do best: not talk to each other and over the years start to collect different patches for the same issues that might pop up eventually. :-(
The whole not needing an a&a database part? That’s the onchain part. You don’t need to track authz as it’s just real-time lookups on blockchain state.

Rather than maintain and protect a local set of usernames and hashes, you let anyone in who can present signature and address. Then server side you check that address has some NFT. Done. No hashes or usernames or anything.
Can't speak for your jurisdiction, but I live in the UK where houses are (i) infamously unaffordable and (ii) 65% of the population owns a home, generally sitting on its own plot of land which in much of the country represents a large fraction of the value of the house, and generally representing something that will [have] take[n] a couple of decades to pay off. The remaining 35% obviously skews towards politically uninfluential groups (the young, the poor, the immigrant, those not tied to particular place) and of course people that want to buy a house to set them up for life asap. Home ownership is falling, but not to the extent that the government doesn't see keeping house prices rising as one of its highest political priorities.
Great article. I myself have IKEA air purifier.

Has anyone used https://www.mi.com/global/mi-air-purifier-3c ? Can it achieve lower noise per CADR? IKEA one on full speed is pretty loud (I may not know what loud air purifiers are, but I get concert of sounds at home I want to minimize - refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, electric water boiler, air purifier)

Does it work via LAN with Home-Assistant? Are they "smart" filters you are forced to change or "dumb" ones?
> A company like Mapbox hadn’t ever unionized before, so it seemed like an exciting experiment

Call me crazy, but taking such a drastic move as unionizing shouldn’t be trivialized into just being an “experiment”.

EDIT: why the downvotes? Why not simply reply with your thoughts so that we can have a thoughtful discourse.
Agreed. I play combat flight sims in VR almost daily, and even with that genre's high FOV and resolution demands, I think most of us are bottlenecked more by GPU performance and software tools than HMD resolution or dynamic range. (Reduced edge distortion would be fantastic, though.)

It's weird to me that these multi-billion dollar companies are investing so much R&D money into supporting my niche hobby, but I suppose I shouldn't complain.
This seems really odd to me. If it's possible to convert wasm to C[1], then it should be possible to convert wasm to asm.js and just execute that. That may not be ideal, but surely it's a better stopgap solution than letting the happy path fail for years on end.

That's the thing about Jira.

I don't understand why I can't see a ticket on my board because some team in another company once requested a seemingly unrelated feature. It's trying to be too many things to too many companies all at the same time, and thus ends up as an unusable mess of complex settings.
Years is a generous way of putting it. This tech has been doing the rounds for quite a while: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtuality_(product)
More like 7, I think? They were laying groundwork in 2015, at least. https://ethereum.org/en/history/#frontier-thawing-summary
I do not work in software, so I find how hiring works in it really odd. The amount of weight put on the interview compared to accreditation is unusual, and people in this thread consider that normal. There's no certification or examination for minimum competency. Looking online, there were attempts at making one, but they failed. How did it come to be this way?
AR/VR skepticism is an attempt to influence the tech landscape and imo the most compelling dismissals are not made on grounds of irrelevance or lack of application but principled judgements about how we want to interact with the world

is it particularly surprising that people who know what goes into the sausages might be skeptical about feeding them to everyone for every meal?
Once all of this unwinds, tech pay is going to get really ugly.
So that is not a JIRA problem since you can do a

> it attracts somebody 4 layers up to tell somebody 3 layers up to come up with a common

with pretty much everything, including a spreadsheet or a plain text file.

Conflating bad business practises with tool configuration or products in general doesn't help anyone. If a business is very stiff and scared of its employees, they will try out all sorts of useless control methods hoping it will somehow make some metric 'better'. You can do that with Trello too. Doesn't make Trello a bad product, and it doesn't make JIRA a bad product.

At the same time, pretending a larger organisation with many teams can function without any form of state tracking is a nice dream but not a reality either, so it's not like you can do without anything at all. But like reposted a bunch of times, how you do it and who is responsible for it is pretty important.
Am I missing something or is there no documentation about what their distro/hardware support matrix looks like? Do I have to just boot into it and navigate the menus to figure that out?
"Web3" isn't even able to solve problems it's supposed to solve.

The big pitch was that you could have non-copyable items which you could move between virtual worlds. The Second Life / Open Simulator ecosystem already has that problem. People looked into NFTs as a way to solve it, and concluded it would not help.

You can download content and upload it as new content, perhaps with a minor mod, creating a new object. This is called "copybotting" in Second Life and Open Simulator. As with any copyright violation, you can file DMCA takedown requests if you find a copy of your stuff.

Would NFTs stop copybotting? No. They just protect the object's ID, not its content. You can still copy the content. If you want to copy a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT image and make a poster of it, the NFT system does nothing to stop you. It's not even clear that's a copyright violation in the US, since BAYC images are computer-generated.

Many NFTs don't even have an on-chain cryptographic hash of the content, only a URL for some server. Nor do most NFTs have their NFT ID watermarked into the actual content. So the NFT doesn't even give you a verifiable proof of ownership independent of the creator's server. There isn't info that would allow a server to tell if a new image upload is a copy of an existing item. An image search might help, but that doesn't need NFTs. Decentraland's solution to this problem is to charge a $500 "curation fee" to get an object onto their platform, which cuts down content to the point that they can check for duplicates.

NFTs are thus useless for their claimed purpose.
The Vera functionality in Jira likes to move me ahead in a test sequence, so each time I touch something in a long test sequence I have to make sure I’m on the right test step.

Absolutely trash.
I can easily give 5-10 examples of personal emails I received recently which had critical info I had to act on, and/or documents I need to retain for future reference, none of which were anticipated. One was an airline canceling a flight!
Even in the US I think you can't advertise a service that you are not legally allowed to provide. Does the first warrant make you immune to fraud allegations?

I'm not an expert and am ready to accept that I may be wrong. If you know any sources on the matter, it would be interesting to read.
Jira works well for my organization. I think the simplicity of our setup is the key. We have just 4 issue statuses: Not Started, In Progress, QA, Done… also no restrictions on state transitions. Any status can move to any other status. Each team gets their own project so that they can easily manage their own issue backlog. That’s pretty much it. My team also uses a plug-in for async planning poker which is useful.
To be clear, I am talking about phenomenal consciousness — which is simply the ability to subjectively experience the world and ourselves. This is distinct from metaconsciousness.

Bernardo Kastrup on phenomenal consciousness:

>Our phenomenal consciousness is eminently qualitative, not quantitative. There is something it feels like to see the colour red, which is not captured by merely noting the frequency of red light. If we were to tell Helen Keller that red is an oscillation of approximately 4.3^1014 cycles per second, she would still not know what it feels like to see red. Analogously, what it feels like to listen to a Vivaldi sonata cannot be conveyed to a person born deaf, even if we show to the person the sonata’s complete power spectrum. Experiences are felt qualities — which philosophers and neuroscientists call ‘qualia’ — not fully describable by abstract quantities.

>Some genius comes around with a computer that given the necessary input, provides the solution...but now they do know that it's computable.

Can you give me a concrete example of input/output and how we would validate any output? You are suggesting the that the brain is the program, the physical world is the necessary input, and consciousness is the output (correct me if I'm wrong). But if I wrote a program to make a perfectly accurate simulation of a kidney, would you expect it to pee on my desk? Of course you wouldn't, so I'm not sure why we would expect that of the brain and consciousness.

Going back to your example, which I like, even if we had access to the code, the code is not the actual reality. It is an abstraction. We can dig through the code all we want, but we will never reach electricity and transistors, the true reality of the program. I think this is analogous to our own reality, where we can dig into spacetime at smaller and smaller distances, but never find "true reality". A hint that this is the case is the lack of operational meaning to distances < 10^-33cm and times < 10^43 sec (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uz-Ve_1LX8w); the amount of energy required to probe those sizes creates a black hole. So something </i>must* be underlying spacetime. I think that something is phenomenal consciousness, mind-at-large, pure subjectivity, call it what you like. Spacetime is the source code, and phenomenal consciousness is the electricity and transistors.

Pivotal Tracker is only good if you buy into the way that it works and are willing to lose all knowledge that your tickets represent.

Pivotal is really only good at a particular type of project tracking (mostly building greenfield features and projects), and absolutely godawful at issue tracking.

I’ll use JIRA over Pivotal any day.
Another neat "pick an OS to boot into" tool I discovered recently is Ventoy [1]. You install the bootable menu on your USB drive, and then you just drop ISOs or IMGs on there to add choices.

Also interviewed on the Odd Lots podcast a little while ago:

> Housing in the US is a constant source of frustration. On the way up, prospective homebuyers worry that they're missing out on their chance to jump on the housing ladder. On the way down, homeowners worry about losing their equity and their nest egg. So is there a better way? Is there a way to make housing more equitable, and to separate the investment component from the shelter component? On this episode we speak with Daryl Fairweather, the chief economist at Redfin, about a land value tax and how it could help us reposition housing so that it's less of a financial asset that spirals people higher, and blocks so many people out.

Good if someone like him cares about something.

It would be much greater if he actually cared for society and would fix what he did with facebook, addicted mobile/facebook games and fake news.

But hey now the poor can have a 1-2k high quality VR Headset with full immersion to see others in a VR Chat while living in a dumpster.

---

On a more non emotional side: Of course i like the idea of a high quality VR Headset but i'm not sure what FB thinks what this will do for FB. Those millions/billions they invested in their Metaverse will not become something great.

I'm still very confinced that VR is a novelity and nothing people will just be in all day long. Why would they?

Lets compare it to others:

Apple key notes are about new hardware, new usability.

Google IO has a ton of diversity, doing things for society. They talk about taking good pictures of people with all type of skin tones. They talk about 24/7 sustainability, better and easier security, protecting their users, skin mold detection and they have android.

What is Meta talking about? How to put all of us into a VR world with probably a ton of monetarization. Awesome \o/ the poor who can't afford their own house/home are then sitting in a cheap/bad flat, sitting in a chair with a VR Headset on?

And of course there will be a handful people playing around with this, but you know Second Live is also probably still running...

Google is one of the few companies were their Keynotes are so boring because they actually fix real life boring shit which affects us all.

> the organization-wide problem Jira is trying to solve

Yeah that problem is that in many places management sucks and can't trust their developers to get shit done, so you have to put metrics on it to bring down anxiety brought about by incompetence.

There are large open source projects that don't use jira; the extreme complexity of managing a distributed team with all sorts of interests -geneally even more complex than what a company has to deal with- is empirically doable without jira.

When an organization pivots to using jira it is a sign that their managers are no longer capable of respecting the programmers that work for them. If an organization starts out using jira, that means they never were.

To be charitable I'm sure there are a few corner cases where a manager came up through the ranks and "only knew jira" but that really means they don't understand open source IC, especially in the era of GitHub and gitlab issues.

(Btw GitHub issues is absolutely the thing that is slowly replacing jira)
The difference between 99.5% and 99.95 is the difference between an event happening 1 in 200 times and happening and 1 in 2000 times.

It's a 10x difference.

The author's "I'll just times .1 by the percent of flow, and produce very small numbers that look fine! See! The numbers are so small!" trick is just … wrong.

The author implies that the difference can be made up by the volume of air being processed, but that would only be true of a sealed environment, where no new pollutants are added to the air.

Setting aside the basic misunderstanding of probability, and ignoring that home purifiers don't operate in sealed environments, the IKEA unit does not process 10x the amount of air as the other units, so the point is mute.
Sure - if that's how you define upper middle class - then by definition, it is true.

I'm not sure that's actually what the upper middle class is.

The US is >50% urban. Wealth MASSIVELY skews urban. Home values massively skew urban.

I would not be surprised if >50% of the "upper middle class" does not own an expensive SFH in the suburbs.

And, again, this is beside the point.

If income tax is reduced by 50% for the average upper middle class family, and then a LVT makes up the difference - there is no change. You're just incentivizing different behaviors.

It comes down to implementation.
I think the main problem is probably finding any mainstream consumer TVs that are non-smart. I have looked and beyond some obscure brands or short of incredibly expensive commercial models there are barely any options.
Jumping on the "Jira isn't the problem" bandwagon, 99% of what people hate about Jira now is that the people who manage it make Jira hard to deal with.

I'm at an early startup and we use Jira; it's great because I'm an admin and I can make Jira reflect whatever I need it to reflect.

It's also highly compatible with compliance nonsense -- if you can say, "Every change to code is tracked in Jira" (the decision process not the literal diff) the auditor's eyes glaze over and they just move on.
I'm not really trying to be pedantic for giggles.. perhaps I just think it's sad that 99% of ISPs are considered your privacy enemy and on top of that I don't consider VPNs a scalable solution to the problem at large so I'm more entertaining the "why is this the de facto solution" question in the "does it scale to society" solution space. It starts to look more like a social problem/solution than a technology problem/solution. That's more what this is about. If everyone used a VPN we'd really be in the same scenario we are today because to support that infrastructure you'd need exit nodes in every city and boom there goes your location advantage.
