How does that make it a monstrosity? Unless we're talking about things that are shared across multiple teams, does it really matter how people use it? Nobody is going to care what someone else does in JIRA when they aren't touching that part anyway. Even with 1000 differently configured projects, your 1 or 2 projects you actually work with and configure are the only ones that matter.
I was in tech IB and spent a lot of time building bottom-up SaaS models. Bottom up SaaS models are great and very actionable, but time consuming and can be confusing to a first time founder. Decided to put that knowledge into this product and called it SaaS Sheet. Hopefully this is helpful to some early-stage folks!
I'd not mind to press edit to change it.
For me the difference has been the size / stage / ... prestige? of the company. Referrals have been a foot in the door and no more for me at very mature, well known, in demand companies, but more of an immediate hire at smaller, earlier, or obscure companies.
>customizable, almost to a fault

Customizable, absolutely to a fault. It is the infinite customizability of a tool targeted towards middle management which is why Jira can go to hell.

It is indeed possible to not be in Jira hell, but inflation of complexity is inevitable and almost entirely irreversible. It encourages and accelerates the path towards bureaucratic hell. Any avoidance of this is a temporary aberration.
I think those of us who have had to suffer through ClearQuest, Lotus notes etc have an entirely different scale on how bad things can be compared to those who appear to really really hate Jira today. I'm not a fan of Jira but atleast it loads, eventually.
"Excess demand" can be a 1st or 2nd order effect. If you artificially limit supply then a consistent amount of demand will suddenly become excessive.
This says nothing about the importance of the cargo which is transported by plane. Given the much higher expense, we would expect this cargo to be more important, not less.

An extreme example would be organs.
> If o go to a restaurant and they let me waiting standing up more than 20 minutes, I'll just go somewhere else. Why do people treat internet websites any different?

What if that restaurant is the one where all your friends and family are waiting for you? Somehow over the last couple of years, your friends and family just gave up on all the other restaurants and only gather in this restaurant, even though everyone agrees that the food isn't very good, but out of convenience everyone settled for this one (and for the promotions that they had in earlier days). Actually many of the other restaurants closed because of these network effects and the owner of the famous restaurant got rich and arrogant, but now that everyone goes to this restaurant, it is hard to convince people to try something else.

Fargate is a subset of ECS that uses fully managed VMs. We used our own ASGs with the AWS provided ECS optimized AMI.

Even adding fluent-bit is more software to manage. ECS uses the Cloudwatch Logs driver integrated directly in Docker with full support by AWS. Fluent-bit adds another layer of buffering, permissions, and resource usage you have to account for

Even using AWS provided stuff there's at least 4 ways to put nodes in your cluster (manually managed ASGs, cluster autoscaler managed ASGs, EKS managed node groups, Karpenter)

There's definitely valid criticisms, but a lot of it seems like hate. But I also agree that it's probably a reaction to the earlier hype wave.

I especially find it funny that people assume that people like Rob Pike and Ken Thompson who have published research papers on computer science forgot or misunderstand modern language features. They purposely made their language this way, for better or for worse. They never stated that they were trying to make the next Java. And all of the successful projects that have been released so far written in Go is proof enough that it seems they know what they're doing.

People complain online for a language they won't use instead of using the languages that are "superior" to make useful modern software.
You get a few projects in JIRA…and you’re stuck. Then you add JIRA Service Desk or Service Management or whatever the hell it’s called these days…and you’re stuck. Then you add some Confluence docs linked to your tickets…

Unless one is really willing to throw institutional knowledge out, changing tracking systems is extremely costly.
Are you talking about emergencies, or are you talking about "the low-income perspective"?

Because you said you were doing the latter, and I was criticizing your words using that context. In that context, your words come across as judgemental.

If you're actually talking about the former, then you chose your words pretty poorly.
Haha, yeah that certainly hasn't helped motivate me to go through their process.

We start new companies all the time and nothing has been able to replace JIRA past the 5-10 engineers who know exactly what they are supposed to do stage.
Part of the problem here is that good incentive design is incredibly, incredibly difficult.

We've learned this lesson over and over again. If you apply an incentives layer to anything, people will attempt to game it. Watch what happens at any company that starts rewarding developers for number-of-issues-closed or lines-of-codes-written.

The only responsible way to work with incentives is to constantly monitor and re-balance them. I use Duolingo a lot and I find it really interesting watching how they tweak the various gamification models over time as people's behaviour alters. They need to balance their models such that people who game them will also learn the language most effectively.

The token model - represented by things like DAOs - generally requires this incentive design to be perfect up front. It assumes that people can design a perfect incentive system from day one - which obviously they cannot.

This goes right back to the beginning of smart contracts: Vitalik was famously inspired to create Ethereum after his World of Warcraft character got nerfed. But nerfing is essential to how game design works! If you don't constantly rebalance things your game ends up being broken.

No, think scarcity in the "artificial scarcity" sense where only 1000 copies of a certain handbag were made so they can market it as "limited edition" and demand a higher price than if they were making as many as they could.
>graphical fidelity

it also seems like a wrong goal in general because to me the entire point of VR is that it's not bound to physical reality, investing billions of dollars so you can sit on a photorealistic sofa I think defeats the purpose. I think the popularity of Minecraft, Fortnite or VRChat shows that people aren't looking for realism but interesting experiences you can't have offline, with community being the most important thing.
It's also one more thing to do. If you can trivially bring things with you, you've managed to avoid finding the appropriate store, finding what you're looking for among possibly unfamiliar brands, and potentially very different languages.

It will be nice if they do come up with an experiment based approach to reviews. Personally I really enjoy Gamer Nexus since they already do this.

Their coverage of the Nvidia cooler design change was really interesting to watch, and they went into depth on their testing methodology with both its strengths and weaknesses.

Their channel really convinced me to take a more critical look at other “reviews” and how they conduct them with either lazily held thermal camera or smoke machines.
Are you being too specific?

Most senior people have the experience to make good decisions and to guide the younger staff. What they may not have is experience in your tool set. But that can be picked up quickly, their seniority cannot.
Well I don't consider better graphics to be a new platform.
No specific strategy, I'm still trying to figure out what makes some diagrams better than others, and how to design diagrams which "works".
The one I've used which have gotten the most spread in the company I'm working at were is one which mapped the transformation of a specific state in the microservice architecture. The state in question is highly central to our products success, and it reflects many (but not all) the relations between services. The dataflow were from leaf entrypoints, through processing, and finally stopped at internal consumer endpoints. The result is a reversed tree structure where each node is a microservice/external service (text in node explains which one, and linked to gitlab project) and each edge said which protocol is used for them to communicate. So, it reflects what services are required for a specific customer, depending on which path the customer takes in order to produce this state for internal consumers. Doing this enabled us to also analyze the "hot path", and "cold path" to know what services were problematic (rarely used/overused/too poorly written considering their importance/etc) and not.

But in general, it needs to look nice. It should be pleasing for the eye to watch the diagram, should spark curiosity to investigate how the system works. Straight lines, consistent shapes for specific meanings, colour coded blobs. Directed edges also seems to work well. Once I told an ops guy "start here at the leaf, then follow the arrows", it really clicked for him. And at the end of the day, it's a frontend, with all it's ups and downs, and should be treated as such.
The emphasis on flow rate misses a feature that is more important to me - live measurement and adjustment of fan speed dynamically.

> I've just no idea what non-computational elements it might have that couldn't be substituted by computational ones or just peripheral components.

Neither does anyone else but the point is that once you accept that such "non-computational elements" might be or must be required you are no longer talking about computation alone being sufficient to produce consciousness.

Homeowners already pay "rent" in the form of property tax. Depending on where you are, this might be quite a high payment already. For a mortgage holder with property tax, a great deal of that payment is fees and taxes already.

I disagree. Bog-standard functionality like a login form on a web based service should at the very least have a version that uses HTML.

(I wrote a web app in 1998, pushed the team to adopt shiny new HTML 4.0 and Java, but all the front end was data validation that was replicated on the back end anyway. In retrospect it was a lousy way to develop the system - I started with fancy and worked my way down, ass backwards that blew the dev budget - but at least the damn thing had a layer of fail-safe server that worked (handled errors and notifications) no matter what you threw at it.)

Fortunately, git permits the use of external difftools. One can easily configure git to use their preferred semantic diff tool and git wouldn't even care. The plumbing is excellent.

Thankfully my company built its own internal tool similar to Jira. Unfortunately this is not the case for other companies or smaller companies since it can be cost-prohibitive.
We already have some Land Value Tax in many areas, although some of it is inverse to the proposal. By putting a conservation easement on some land, you can preserve it for wildlife and have a minimal tax.

>>So it’s kind of just basically a shorthand for I think, being kind of selfish. valuing your property value, your view, your neighborhood character that you want more than building a neighborhood that is welcome for all people or for more people. To be able to afford and live in. So, unfortunately, nimbyism, it’s like a consequence of, I think incentives.

It is not a consequence of incentives, it is a consequence of the fact that when someone moves to a place with a particular quality of life, pays more, and then pays high taxes and high maintenance costs for decades, they themselves have paid for decades to build that quality of life. To say that oh, your neighbor can randomly decide to make a major construction project literally in your backyard and convert a wetlands housing endangered species into a several hundred unit high-density living complex, with years of construction and two orders of magnitude greater traffic on your street forever - yeah, you can expect people to object. (this literally happened to me, and in a matter of weeks we got 10x the largest crowd to show up at a planning board meeting and we gave a presentation to shut it down; not yet permanently, but...)

And rightly so - the developer is literally stealing all the value that you and your neighbors and town created over the past few decades, and then profit from the buyers also.

Now, if you are talking about areas that are already cities and have such high density that there is effectively no wildlife, then it might be different, but again the value of walkable neighborhoods vs random massive development is not to be overlooked.

So, no this proposal is preposterous, aside from being a nonstarter. Young people who might want it are great at making noisy protests and notoriously bad at bothering to vote - the one thing that matters, while older people, and especially those who own property, tend to reliably vote.
That is indeed what happens with the simpler JIRA clones. On top of that, usually the org has no idea what is going on, who is working on what or what is still waiting to be looked at by anyone.

Normally those issues would be handled with a simple 5 minute meeting (DSU or some variant thereof) where everyone shares their current state, and then a few times per month some form of "where are we and where are we going" type of planning. (Be it a sprint planning or something like it) Combining that with a state tracker seems like a fairly obvious thing to do, and having the tools to then report on that over time (graphs can be a helpful visualisation that simple tools usually lack) gives everyone some context as to how healthy the team is.

But even that last bit, the concept of periodically having a bit of a check up to see how things are going is often lacking in "we can do it better and simpler" types of setups. In then end, it gets reduced back to the manager walking around with a whip shouting "work harder!" instead of teams having some autonomy and figuring their own state out themselves.

>I don't see why they would be upset.

Feigning ignorance. People in or adjacent to the tech surveillance industry (either working in it or having a substantial portion of their net worth invested in the industry) whine about cookie consents constantly, but nobody else gives a shit.

Are you telling me that you have no financial or professional stake in the matter? You haven't worked for or invested in a company that profits from tracking people online? Nor any of your friends or family?
Increased my understanding of what fly actually is and what makes it special from 20% to 50%.
I wish analysis like this would stop using tests of the filter material to make any judgement about the purifier.

If the air passed through the filter precisely once and then ended up in your room, it would be valid. But it doesn't - the air passes many times through the filter, and mixes with the room air again and again each time.

That means it is far less important to get 99.9% filtration, and far more important to get more cubic feet passing through the filter each minute. That dramatically changes the optimal design.

To see why, imagine a room of 1000 cubic feet. Now filter one of those cubic feet, and put it back into the same room. A good 99.9% filter has just removed 0.0999% of the dirt. A bad 90% filter with double the airflow removed 0.18% of the dirt. The bad filter is much better!
Photorealism isn't a good descriptor for just being able to look at things and have your eyes work properly.
And how long is this going to last before someone further up decides that Jira needs to be unified for reporting purposes?

Eventually somebody with the organization obsession is going to get hired and put somewhere important and their goal is going to be making something complicated and unified and dissent will be "discouraged".
That would indeed put a dent in that plan :\ I suppose there are always DSLRs, as those are also sometimes in a similar price bracket (many recent ones can act as a webcam as well).

I gather support / fixes / etc have been rolling out rather slowly, have you tried it in the past few months? Or is it currently that unusable? I certainly wouldn't expect the software to be difficult to build, there are quite a few webcam-emulating projects out there... but then again this is a company's software rather than an interested hobbyist.
Yes - Ferrari could make far more cars than they do. But new cars are limited edition and sold only to prior owners of Ferraris. This is a marketing strategy that keeps them artificially exclusive cars.
This was legitimately the most humanizing piece of media I’ve seen from Zuckerberg. It helps that I find VR fascinating, and seeing him engage with it beyond a superficial corporate level like I’d expect was refreshing.

"I’m just saying obesity is categorically different because it’s self inflicted and reversible"

I encourage you to examine the implicit judgement and bias within this statement. When you say "self inflicted," are you suggesting that people should simply exercise willpower and change their behaviors? What if they cannot, either because they do not know how, or because there are related psychological problems intersecting with their weight issues?

Is depression self-inflicted? What about depressive eating patterns, resulting in weight gain? We know that being overweight is almost universally disliked. We know that most people expend great amounts of time and money on ineffective solutions.

Saying "it's self inflicted" ignores that most overweight people are not able to solve their eating disorder. It's inaccurate, in exactly the same way that it would be inaccurate to dismiss depression as "self-inflicted." Food is tied to very deep motivators within the human brain. Empirically we can very clearly see that most people are not capable of resolving these issues on their own. Generally speaking, it's a symptom of a psychological disorder.
I made a similar transition at 35. Have you looked at quant developer roles? They may value your experience and background more and be more willing to compromise on your software engineering experience.
The manager went with Kanban, but expressed disappointment and looked "visibly annoyed". While the event does describes disagreement and sort of conflict between op and manager, I don't see anyone acting badly there.

Its only significance seem to be that this might be one of reason why manager did not liked op, which yes, can happen with some personalities. But, op does not provide any part of story that would show that.
So what would you do if you had an index quality quest 2?
Which? annoys me in various ways, but not taking the cost into account in their ratings is I think actually one of their better moves.

In your example, you can see very plainly that the Electrolux is a much better buy. If they'd included cost in the rating, you'd probably be left wondering whether the Dyson was worth the extra.
This alone would have a positive impact. Do a ten year phase in or immediate upon a sale and most people wouldn't even notice.
For the price point Quest 2 really is an amazing product.

We're really getting to the point where it's mainstreaming.

AR/VR is inevitable. I find it astonishing that there are so many naysayers on HN, a community that in its early days embraced technology innovation. Today's VR (and even AR via Mobile Phones) is primitive, sure, but the same could be said about desktop computers before the transition to mobile ever was an idea?

I expect more comments on how to influence this technology versus dismissing it as not applicable for the human race.
I am a member of many token projects that have successfully altered their rules via governance vote. These include contract upgrades and fundamental changes to structure. It is possible to fix and augment post-launch, and in 2022 is quite common.

Seconding this. I'd love to use this tool, but ideally I want to be editing in the text editor/IDE of my choice and then to be able to own the viewer offline. This would be especially important for actual project management as employers/clients don't tend to allow you to use online tools and that's what I'd most likely be using this for.
