It's not a new chip, it's the same RP2040 chip with a Cypress (now Infineon) CYW43439 WiFi controller. Which isn't available to buy in single quantities at costs $4.55 if you buy a reel of 5,000. So unfortunately it doesn't look like this will be able to compete with the ESP offerings for any sort of volume product.

> An app owned by a foreign government that in no way subscribes to these values gives them freedom to do a lot more shady shit that would have consequences domestically, but don't as a foreign government.

If they're breaking the law then they should of course be prosecuted for that. But to argue the law should treat them differently because they're more likely to break the law by doing things that would be legal for a corporation is purely circular reasoning.

> But judging form your comment you don't really see any value difference in Chinese Communist Party values (and laws) vs say Facebook's values (and laws it obeys), so perhaps there's not much to talk about. I do see a difference.

I don't see any difference between e.g. Facebook advertising to advocate for law changes that would suit their interests vs the CCP advocating for law changes that would suit their interests. Facebook has their own values which are by no means representative of the US, and could be just as different from those of regular American citizens as the CCP's.
The problem is that there is a limit on how fast you can make the look-up in hardware. Today, given the large amounts of physical memory and the high frequency that CPUs are clocked at, single cycle lookup would be impossible. In fact today CPUs already have such lookup tables in the form of TLBs as hitting the page table every time would have very high latency; still TLBs cannot cover the whole address space and still need multi-level structures even for a subset of it.

Single Address Space OSs are an option, but it means that you are restricted to memory safe languages, it is very vulnerable to spectre-like attacks, and any bug in the runtime means game over.

No, that's a different point about what you think reality should be like.

While you don't like it, the government is in the student loan business so, like everyone who loans money, must accept that they might not get all the money back.

Besides, your point seems to be that government shouldn't loan any money if there's any sort of risk, not just to students.

And apparently that companies with limited liability protection shouldn't take government loans either.
The network effect of Jira is obviously at the department level; dept. head A mandates Jira. User B gets moved to new dept. C, we need some sort of project management tool - hey B what did you use when you were working for A, oh A likes using Jira, I didn't like it much but it's ok I guess.

Ok folks, let's use Jira!

Dept. Head A moves to Dept. D, hey everyone we are going to start using Jira.

Dept D. is being merged with Dept. E, Dept and new Dept. Head J is joining. E is using some open source Kanban solution based on CouchDB, hmm, let's go to Jira - other departments are also using it and then we can get rid of the CouchDB thing!

In point of fact where network effects of Jira is concerned, I have put some effort into learning JQL and setting up my own dashboards, so when you give me one of the competitors I get grouchy. I prefer Jira or Trello - also owned by Atlassian iirc?

At no point in time could Newey come up with anything to rival what Mercedes seemed to have perfected in the V6 era off the platform that Ross Braun (a true genius of the sport) built with the use of the blown diffuser.

This is largely because Horner hints at wanting moveable-aero pieces and the regulations are super tight on anything that moves. You take the veil off moveable aero and Newey would be back on top.

It was only by McLaren forcing the F-Duct into the game in 2010, did DRS come in 2011, as the one exception to the no-moveable aero.

>appeal to a larger audience instead of pushing the limits of both man and machine

It's been this way for a very long time. Back in the early 2000s there was concern the new cars were too fast to be safe for driver's reactions if they lifted some regulations. If you strapped Traction control back on, with engines as fast as they could go and moveable aero, and less rules on the car layout, you would have absolute monsters.

Keeping it in the butter zone requires sacrifices.
It's tough for me to square with the JIRA hate. I don't mean to simply be contrarian here, I have limited (<6 months) experience. But the alternative horrors I've been forced to use - like Rally or a couple internal tools that were highly neglected - I can't imagine it's really _that_ bad...
When it comes to the emails and stuff he probably isn't more efficient that way at all it's just that he's still delivering value so people put up with it.

The pen and paper is interesting but it must be just conceptual because racing cars get certain dimensions done by a machine rather than by hand then analyzed e.g. the vehicle dynamicists would lay down the rough suspension geometry

Yup, there was some mess around inexact mapping so we had our own conflict resolution and definition of what and how to interpret respective fields.

Honestly, JIRA easily has one of the most sluggish and horrid developer experience so the bar wasn't too high to begin with. Visual Studio Online / Azure DevOps is far better than JIRA ecosystem imo.

I love this approach the team can pick which tooling they want to use, github wiki, readthedocs, docx on FTP, whatever works best for them. Each teams has its requirements. I don't see PMs using git/markdown to write their documentation, the same way don't make me write an API documentation on Confluence.
Coupling, it's a constant scourge all over in software.

Whilst I LOVE to crap on Jira, it has brought some magnitude of order and civility to the PMO's and at least created a familiar work environment for people.

False analogy. The point here is that productivity in old Microsoft was far higher, and that the failing piece in modern development might not be the ticket system.
It’s scary how many people think we have a way out of global warming that doesn’t involve a scheme like this. We’re perpetually 30 years away from carbon neutrality which is actually comically far from reversing or even slowing runaway warming.

Your reaction is why I mentioned that I will patiently wait for others to give up on this absurd idea of saving the planet with renewables. We need more time. Geoengineering is the only way to buy us that time.

Cheers to waiting for more to come to this realization. Let’s talk again in 2030.
That word is one of very few that I will never say, along with slurs. Just goes to show that dialects are, in fact, a thing.
I‘m not sure what you are eluding to. Are you saying it is ok to exploit finite resources? That‘s also a morality play. Is it ok to live at the expense of future generations? I think we should finally start minimizing these external costs. We have the duty to do so.
The reason is almost always to be able to do conversion tracking. I.e. to follow the trail from a specific ad campaign to a completed purchase in order to evaluate the campaign performance. There are of course ways to do this while preserving anonymity of the individual customers, but it's way too easy to mess up and/or give in to the allure of providing too much detail in the quest to further evaluate user behavior.

The tools are built to make it as easy as possible to provide as much data as possible about the users. Whether it's nefarious is debatable, but FB should definitely have some checks and balances on what they allow to be stored on their own platform.
I was (a very small, and only part-time) part of a team that did a migration from a Perforce-era VCS to git. It was about 6 weeks of 100% background work -- as in, we prepared cheat sheets, changed or rewrote relevant parts of the CI and deployment chain, while everyone in the company kept using the old VCS.

Then it took about 36 hours to move the relevant code bases (a few dozen repositories, some of them 20+ years old) over to git, including the entire commit history. This was pretty slow. It could have probably be done faster but we figured, since we only do it once, we don't need to invest too much time. We scheduled it on Saturday morning so it would be done by Sunday afternoon and we had some time to test it before Monday hit the earliest timezones.

We had a backup plan in place in case it didn't work but it wasn't necessary.

The two repos were automatically synced for a while, to allow people who had started work on something on, say, Friday morning, to commit their changes to the old repos, rather than have to replay their work on the new ones. After that the old repos remained read-only, but we preserved them because, obviously, our issue tracker had twenty years' worth of references to old VCS revision numbers.

So it took about 6 weeks of indulgently part-time work (our infra team worked several hours a day on this, I worked... about an hour or so a week?) to plot this daring plan, and about two days to make it happen. The total amount of work disruption was likely non-zero but certainly small enough that most people didn't complain of anything other than having to learn git.

I can't say about Bamboo to CircleCI but, having gone through one of these, I can say with 100% confidence that if you start out right -- that is, your existing repository is not a mess of stale branches and weird merges -- and you don't go about moving fast and breaking things, moving from even an ancient revision control system to git is not really apocalyptic.

Confluence has always confused me. Every aspect of the product sucked when I used it several years ago.

There was little to no discoverability, it was slow as shit and the editing tools weren't that good. The integrations to their other products were at the time pretty much non-existing as well. Always felt like it was really basic which made me wonder how it could be so slow.

Any other wiki software were probably better. Mediawiki is free but people still paid for Confluence.

I don't get why people used it and still use it to this day. I dislike pretty much every of their products though, they all suck in my opinion and I have written several JIRA plugins so I had extensive experience with it.
Well, time will tell.

I'm not opposing a single Jira methodology to a myriad of other ones (tools or processes).

I'm saying that Jira, without being constantly challenged for what it is[1] creates its own growing and tiring bureaucracy because companies (even large ones) cannot agree on a right way to work (but will add piles over piles of bureaucracy).

[1] exactly like what Agile methodologies, or some certifications are; where now it feels like almost no one remembers/knows how to organize teams _without_ resorting to anything that Agile-thinking has tainted.

It somehow relates to the fact that, in some companies, more energy and money is burnt over how to organize the work rather than doing the work itself. And it definitely shows.
The second sentence is as follows:

The LLVM’s discourse RFC goes in depth about the project motivation

Link to the discourse RFC:

https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-an-mlir-based-clang-ir-cir/...

Motivation:

> In general, Clang’s AST is not an appropriate representation for dataflow analysis and reasoning about control flow. On the other hand, LLVM IR is too low level — it exists at a point in which we have already lost vital language information (e.g. scope information, loop forms and type hierarchies are invisible at the LLVM level), forcing a pass writer to attempt reconstruction of the original semantics. This leads to inaccurate results and inefficient analysis - not to mention the Sisyphean maintenance work given how fast LLVM changes. Clang’s CFG is supposed to bridge this gap but isn’t ideal either: a parallel lowering path for dataflow diagnostics that (a) is discarded after analysis, (b) has lots of known problems (checkout Kristóf Uman’s great survey 32 regarding “dataflowness”) and (c) has testing coverage for CFG pieces not quite up to LLVM’s standards.

Metrics that take into account cost can sometimes be misleading, because you have to consider more philosophical points like whether a lower or higher cost is actually better?

Remember that from the countrywide economic perspective, most of the cost of healthcare stays within the country, so the cost of healthcare really is just a wealth redistribution effort. Free healthcare means 'redistribute very little wealth from the sick to the healthy' while expensive healthcare means 'redistribute lots of wealth from the sick to the healthy'. Social support schemes like sick pay or disability allowance are doing the reverse.

Countries already have millions of ways of moving wealth from or to people - and schemes like income tax or sales tax tend to be an even bigger dollar amount of wealth redistributed than healthcare costs.

It isn't obvious that there is an 'ideal' number, and comparing some metric like "years of life per dollar spent on healthcare" might therefore be meaningless.
Prepositions are fickle. For example, in Swedish you can learn just 'på' and be fine in 90% of situations. :)

At my old company, they had two annoying jira workflows management wanted to tie in to the dev process

1) When the user wants to merge to master, at least one of the commit messages must reference a valid Jira ticket.

2) A Jira plugin was installed such that when tests were run in CI, a jira ticket was created to record the result (pass/fail). This somehow ticks a SOC compliance box
I am by no means an expert in the valuation of companies, but I understand primary school level math.

If Atalssian has a revenue (not profit, revenue) of $2.95 billion, how on earth can the stock market capitalization be $162 billion? If that was the profit, there would be a yearly interest rate of 2% on the stock value, which is pretty good in today's financial market conditions, but it is the revenue of a 20 years old company that never had a positive PE. What is the expectation of the market? A new killer product? Total dominantion of the issue tracker market (which btw also includes Github"? I do not get it.
I was keeping a list at a previous company:

- default text size is too small, text block widths are often not constrained enough getting the "slashdot unreadability effect"

- 0.5s+ lag when clicking any textbox

- 1s+ lag when clicking any dropdown

- 1s+ lag delay when grabbing and trying to drag-and-drop to reorder items in the backlog

- 2s delay when clicking in an issue in the backlog before the loading starts (add about 2s more for the loading itself)

- "Link issue" using a hyperlink icon. The whole idea of using the word "link" to talk about related issues without spending some time to think whether that's really confusing with hyperlinking

- Error messages about what "might" be wrong with things rather than what is actually wrong: "We couldn't save your comment, it might be empty or have invalid formatting". Well which one is it? Did you really have trouble deciding whether my comment is empty or not? Be specific and tell me what exactly is wrong, or do you want me to binary-search / bisect myself?

I think most of the issues can be fixed by completely rewriting the frontend.

I recently moved to Spain and managed to get a digital identity certificate. It seems to be a fairly open implementation, but has a few weird things. It’s just an x509 certificate (in p12 format) that you install into the OS certificate manager and then it is used on various governmental websites to authenticate yourself/sign documents.

First weird thing is that there’s no method to recover the key if it’s lost, besides starting from the beginning and going through the physical identity verification process again.

The other thing I noticed is that the “configurator” macOS app isn’t a sandboxed/signed app. They even have instructions on how to enable opening app from untrusted sources on their website. I feel they should bite the bullet and get a $100/yr developer account. AFAIK, all the app does is generate the certificate, transmits it to a server (to be signed by the CA after your verification happens) and generates a PIN you need to show when you are showing your physical ID. Once you are verified you enter another code that was emailed to you and it spits out your pk12 file.

Anyways, it’s come in handy so I think an EU wide standardized version could be helpful in day to day life.
It will keep the planet habitable and buy us time to solve the fundamental problems. We don’t have the technology or global political will to reverse or even slow global warming. We’re not even close. We need more time.

Ignoring this reality will just guarantee our collapse. Geoengineering gives us a plausible way out.

The alternative is people continuing to clamor for global cooperation, a comically naive goal that has gained near to zero traction in 40 years.
