I'm not sure this adds anything useful to the conversation, but I don't believe the word "soul" maps very well to any real thing: we may as well be talking about the "quingel", the "probble", the "finglam" or the "subvick".

There's no neuroanatomic basis for a "soul", but there is at least some extremely fuzzy mapping from neuroanatomy to the concept of "consciousness". It's a bad mapping, but it means more than nothing at all.

And I reject the idea that taking the perspective of information is taking a dualist perspective. I am advocating for the opposite: taking "information" seriously as some sort of low-level quantum substrate of the universe. It's a purely materialist view, where the material is literal information.

An extreme version of this, which I find quite intellectually useful, is the mathematical universe. [1]

Note that in your examples of information, you are pointing to higher-level information, which emerges in complex systems. It's not an incompatible view!

If you are building an app that requires Javascript in order to do what the customer wants, then having the login form also use Javascript does not seem like a problem to me. Building an HTML-only fallback that successfully logs the user in but takes them to a page that does nothing without Javascript seems like a waste of resources.
Oh wow, inspired by the stunnel above I just successfully used

Democracy is easily captured by moneyed interests, unfortunately, which within companies gets called "politics".

I've had much better luck using the techniques of social anarchy. We all generally want the same thing, we are in pretty stable communities, and there is a lot that can be accomplished by facilitators & organizers offering people the opportunity to opt in to certain kinds of improvements. You don't need power-over to bring about change.
There isn’t a standard. Most individuals don’t have a consistent standard, let alone languages.
If I even bother with an inquiry for a no-salary listing, it's going to be to ask what the comp is like. I made the mistake of doing an entire interview without knowing in advance that we had expectations in the same ballpark, one time. Never again. Waste of everyone's time.

I'm getting that way with interviews, too. Agenda and some sense of the topics, scope, and difficulty level of any "quiz" shit you're doing, provided to me early in the process, or GTFO. You don't need to keep it all secret for it to work. FAANG practically publishes study guides. Jim Bob's 3rd-rate B2B SaaS isn't going to go down in flames because they published too much info about their interview process. Meanwhile, making it a pop-quiz with a scope of literally anything and with everything about it hush-hush is a bunch of pointless stress I don't need in my life.
It does not matter who is better conductor or easier to work with, when the copper is being stolen each four months. This is the real factor in many countries, for a mile. Optic fiber is a game changer in that sense.

As long as optic fiber will be available doing a reasonable job at a reasonable price, many companies will jump over it like coyotes over a pile of chops.
My Jira experience improved a lot when I wrote a tool that parses and serves the content of HTTP Archive files - not having to wait for all those panels, menus etc. was a huge boon, even if this view was necessarily read-only.

Also I'm pretty sure Jira saved my friend's marriage because he used the free version to coordinate finishing up their house.

Lastly while JQL has limited capabilities, it's better than having a bunch of API endpoints.

That being said it still baffles me how badly some UI elements are done there. Especially the menus would benefit greatly from some caching or preloading.

The point of BAYC was the community. So others could copy your image but that wouldn't provide them with access to the community. It's a single-factor login token to a private web forum, which is non-revokable by the client (but AFAICT is revokable by the hosting platform). So sort of the worst all worlds in terms of authentication technology.

The point is that there are tools that enable and encourage bad behavior. The kinds of organizational toxicity simply aren’t possible with some tools, sure an ambitious executive could try but the attempt would fail very quickly. Such attempts to do the broken overburdened nonsense that frequently comes with Jira don’t fail, they are enabled and encouraged. What is technically possible and what is likely are two very distant things.

I'm already worried for boys.

When I think about who would have the time and motivation to sit in a VR world all day long I can not imagine girls or a lot of adults of some type.

I really struggle seeing anyone outside of a private space wearing it in public, in an office or public transport. It looks weird. It removes you from reality and your surroundings.

So who is left? Boys? Already single man motivation for playing the same games all day long like egoshooters etc.

Porn will be a motivation for sure.
The 70 million number (the one you were specifically nitpicking) comes from the FBI database, not from a union of state level databases. So that's 70 million people who have been convicted of or arrested on a felony charge, or had a state explicitly ask the FBI to retain a record of their misdemeanor arrest, per your source.

OP was clear in this thread that "criminal record" wasn't synonymous with "has been to prison." This point was also explained to me explicitly during all the pre-employment background checks I have had.

> However, if you have a "flat fee" dentist/doctor you could be now encouraging the opposite - do the minimum work necessary to get done with the day. It's hard to legislate "be a caring, honest professional" but we can at least remove some of the incentives to not be.

First of all, we know that it does not encourage the opposite, see Germany pre 2007 or any other country where where health care is not run like a business but let's look into it in the abstract:

Humans love helping other humans. The "be a caring, honest professional" part is a product of intrinsic motivation. The idea that it needs to be externally motivated is extremely harmful. That is not how humans work.

Yes, some people get into medicine for the social status, the power or simply money but that is not the majority and we need to a way to filter out those that are full on narcissistic but the vast majority really just wants to help people.

> The best dentist I ever went to had a picture of his airline pilot wife on the wall - and from how he treated his patients and charged, I got the feeling he worked because he liked to, not because he needed to.

You hit the point here. He doesn't need any external drive to do his best, he just needed the opportunity.

It's similar to software developers wanting to write good code. They will strive to do so given the chance and ability even when management discourages and punishes them for that, as is often the case. (Well, "good code" might be subjective but you get the basic idea, humans want to do a good job.)
> (I mean perhaps Google can, but not your employer/school/whatever like in SSO).

In general yes, it'll be possible if Chrome/Android ends up supporting passkeys and then Google suspends your Chrome/Android syncing service. It'll still be good to have two passkeys on each service, but just on two different ecosystems, which still reduces the burden of needing to enroll every new device on every new service.
The difference between 0.9005 and 0.90005 is not huge in a medical context, or in a chip fab context, or in any other practical context. We're not talking about the difference between 0.0005 and 0.00005. The numbers in question are 0.9005 and 0.90005, and the point being made is that the 0.9 problem dwarfs the 10x efficiency difference way over in the thousandths place.
They poisoned the well by showing they were willing to do it in the first place.

Instead of the baseline being they probably are privacy first, now it is "carefully inspect every announcement to see if they are backtracking yet again"

> moving from CVS/Subversion to git

Was that really painful? We did that transition and it amounted to having teams one by one run the "git-svn" script on their repos to port over to git. Even with over a million commits on our central SVN server, the whole process generally took around 5 minutes per project. Even in the worst cases, it was something like 1 hour.

The most painful part we had was putting a rate limiter in place to keep our SVN server from toppling over.

> moving from on-prem to the cloud, moving from Windows to Mac, moving from hipchat to Slack, moving from Oracle to postgres

These are certainly all more difficult but also things that aren't central to the way the company operates AND can be done a piece at a time. Moving from Jira->something else can't really be done in a piecemeal fashion.

The other big problem here is Jira has a wider audience than just the dev department. Dev saying "Let's go from svn to git" is something that doesn't hardly need involvement from the C levels. They never (usually) touch or look at the VCS interface. In fact, the only thing you listed that I think would be a hard sell to C levels is switching from windows to mac. Though, I suspect a lot of them are using macs anyways. Try getting your C levels to agree to switch from mac or windows to linux and I bet that'd never fly in any organization.

> I fully believe that if a project management solution came along and all stakeholders went "holy shit, this is so much better than Jira"

I just disagree. The best counter example is Internet Explorer. Both Firefox and Chromium have been better than IE for a long time (10->15 years). So why didn't every corporation switch to Firefox? Why did Chrome end up winning for desktop web browser even though it came so much later (2008)?

The answer is simple, chrome advertised on media that stakeholders watched.

Chrome eventually won, but it got there through deep pockets and advertising. If there's anything that will topple atlassian, it will have to be through the same route. That product/product set has to be better AND they have to spend a lot of capital advertising so that other shareholders find out they exist. Without doing both those things, toppling atlassian will be a long nearly impossible slog.
It is beauty competition. Disclaimer: I am biased gray-hair contractor who's milking own network.

"fairly typical run-of-the-mill mid-size enterprise software vendor" - read: boring, maintenance, legacy, but that is ok, I work on such stuff when it pays decent daily rate;

"fully-remote SWEs in the "DevOps" software space (Linux, containers, k8s, yadda yadda)", "higher percentage non-code" - sysadmin, jira queue, SEVs, on-call duty, yaml development, no essential prog lang skill, o'rly you need SWE?

"we're junior-heavy already" - babysitting, scrum;

"haven't even managed to backfill a retirement from six months ago", "the work requires a reasonably deep understanding of the underlying platforms" - seek Sol. Architect or on-board into small area first, legacy can wait;

"take-home technical assignment (~4h) or similar at candidate's choosing" - what? take-home k8s cluster? Maybe better try some gig/probation week, daily rate applies ofc.

I think I would fit, but why I should move my lazy ass off my golden handcuffs just before summer?
The point of something being sharp is doing damage with minimal effort, which I think fits here! Though, I won't disagree that a lot of parts of the Jira UX are more blunt-force.
Post the salary range.

From what I can tell DevOps is the hardest thing to hire for right now, and it commands the highest salaries. It's tough to find someone who can code and troubleshoot code problems, but also has all the skills of a sys/net/cloud/k8s admin, and is willing to put up with the higher stress of that role.

Most qualified people have already done their best to get a job they're happy with. Personally I'm not making FAANG money, but as a self-employed freelancer I still do pretty well. So it's hard to see hidden-salary listings as anything other than a waste of time. 90% of them will come in too low. Things like a four-hour coding assignment just prove to me that it's smarter not to bother. If you make it that pointless for qualified candidates you'll only hear from the unqualified ones.
I think it’s so strange that people are calling him a “Weird Lizard”. “Weird Lizard” is a mouthful - plenty of other names worth calling him and his monopoly. I highly doubt his VR dream is anything more than an anti-antitrust maneuver.
> You are free to disagree, but what is the purpose of the disagreement here?

Because in the case of a carbon tax, the government isn't taking assets that are rightfully yours; they're taking assets that rightfully belong to the public.

Let's say that I bulldoze your house in order to expand the size of my factory. The factory might generate lots of additional revenue, but that revenue would not be rightfully mine.

Now let's say that instead, I dump refuse from my factory into a river that runs through both of our properties. The refuse flows downstream and ruins your drinking water. I would argue that again, the revenue from my factory is not rightfully mine.

That's still pretty obvious. But now let's say that instead of polluting the river, I pollute the air with greenhouse gases. Long-term, this is also going to be detrimental to your property, such as by increasing the likelihood of extreme weather.

And so some portion of the revenue I generate by releasing greenhouse gasses does not actually belong to me. The government should take that revenue, both to allow the free market to correct for those social costs, and to compensate those affected.
Crypto was sold as the hedge against inflation. Well, how did that go? Inflation started creeping up and crypto crashed. That's not the hedge I'm looking for.

What problem does Web3 solve? It helps us better manage nonsense. As we face fuel shortages, potential food shortages, a recession and stagflation I wouldn't want to be in the business of solving make-believe problems. If you're not doing work for a business that's providing tangible value to their customers then you're likely to be out of a job soon. All it takes is another rate hike of 25 basis points and we're in a whole new ballgame - and unlike 2008, which was fueled by financial nonsense that had been going on the preceding 10 years, we're going to have bona fide supply shortages to contend with as well.
You need SOME kind of tool to provide a repository of issues and assignments, and Jira could probably be fine.

But the simplest things are baffling in Jira. Any issue-tracking system that requires the users to learn some obscure syntax (or even to use SQL to refer to its internal data structures is a failure.

> "Jira is the worst project management tool, except for all the others"

This is key. The problem with Jira is less about Jira as a tool and more about how we approach project management.

I've seen some teams thrive with Jira. I wouldn't say they "loved" Jira but they had a light weight project management structure that let them get work done and enough control over Jira to set it up to stay out of their way. They didn't give Jira credit for their ease of working because it was their processes that were good. Jira just gave them a way to not have to write everything down on paper.

I've seen other organizations create a horrible project management structure and then use Jira to "enforce" those structures in ways that magnify all the worst aspects of what they are doing. In those situations it is usually more politically palatable to blame Jira rather than the management processes. Those type of organizations usually blame the tool while hoping that a different tool will force the organizational changes that are needed to make life better.

After failing to solve the financial system with crypto and digital rights with NFTs the desperate search of a solution seeking a problem moves on to Web3. Hint: it's not here either.

Take something as simple as identity. In the Web3 world that's basically a wallet. lose your access to an account on a website currently and you can reset it. Lose your Web3 ID key? Well, you need a "smart" contract for recovery. I've seen variations on this such as nominating some other wallets who can give a consensus for what is essentially a takeover to recover your account.

These are really just more attack vectors created on the altar of automation and blockchain.
I don’t like those “wall wart” chargers nor the “all in one” international adaptors.

The biggest problem is that the wall warts frequently don’t make a strong enough connection to the wall so gravity pulls them out (weight/strain added by the cable etc). Plugging that into a huge adaptor like the massive one recommended by the author simply compounds the problem.

The second problem is that power points are often inconveniently located behind things and/or high on the wall, and not always where you want to be.

So instead I use small standard IEC 60320-C1 (AKA “figure 8”) power cable. I carry a US/JP kind and European kind, plus a couple of tiny adaptors. The good thing is if I don’t have the right adaptor it’s easy to find one of these cables anywhere.
