> How could you make project management plans that imply deadlines if you don't have deadlines?

Looks like your project management plans have a problem.
Who cares how popular a streaming service is? Just look at reviews and such to find series/movies you'd like. Apple TV+ has a lot of good stuff IMO; I'm really enjoying Shining Girls at the moment.
Everything cannot be litigated. Litigation is expensive and time consuming.

Also there are not enough judges to take that kind of work load.

Judgements by lower courts don’t set precedents, so the same issue would be litigated 1000s of times each judge of jury giving different results.

Higher courts have even less judges.

Laws are guidelines, the real details of any law is in the code or regulations built around it. Chevron is about whether regulations have force of law or not .
I'm not sure about that aluminum argument. Aluminum isn't transparent to neutrons; neutrons will scatter off Al nuclei just fine. Perhaps the metal is more resilient to the resulting damage.

The real thing to worry about in neutron irradiation of coils is damage to insulators, not to conductors. Insulators are very sensitive to radiation damage.
Right. Let's just be honest: they came up with a plausibly-deniable excuse to fire her for doing exactly what she did.

You seem to assume that it will not mutate to become more transmissible. Comparisons to HIV seem inapt since you can't get that except by fluid exchange. This can be transmitted by touch. It currently requires lots of touch. A more transmissible version could require less.

We all hope it won't mutate, but if it does we may look back and wish we'd been more proactive at the beginning.
So many problems with this idea..

Can you imagine your child saying “Mom / Dad I need to buy a webcam to play this game”. Alarm bells will be going off immediately.

Financially speaking, every player needs to buy a webcam to play even a free to play game ?

Do you need a camera of a specific quality ? What if the light in your room is off and the object detection can’t work out where your hand is ?

Do you get kicked from the game because the sun went down and you didn’t turn on the light ?

Can’t imagine the compute resources required to pull this off. The skins in the game will probably have to cost 10x more.

This is just what comes to mind after thinking about this for 2 mins.
You couldn't have picked a worse case for trying juveniles as adults. I think any country that wouldn't try these animals as adults couldn't be called civilized. Torturing and mutilating a 2 year old at the age of 10 is not recoverable human behavior.

To be fair, citation needed.

33% of American households own firearms; and there are far, far more firearms owned than cars[1].

Even assuming 100% car ownership, the statement that cars kill people at 33% efficiency of tools whose sole purpose is killing people should give you a pause.

The median time served for murder in the US is 13.4 years.

But, not all things are equal. For some reason, both the lengths of these sentences, and the frequency of receiving life without parole (or life without parole as a child offender) vary widely... Across racial lines.

Weird, huh?
Separated or not, this is not something you do to a friend (unless your friend is okay with it).

It should come as no surprise that people who don’t know what enough is take these actions (boundaries and empathy deficiencies).

Slightly off topic, but how has Amazon and Kobo picked up the rights for ebooks? Can anyone set up a ebook marketplace? I'm assuming it takes quite a bit of negotiating with publishers and other distributors?

Anyone have any insights into this process?
> The player is not banned. The player's account is banned. It is a free game- they can make as many accounts as they like.

You're right and my wording was sloppy. Often account bans come with "hardware" bans which are an attempt at stopping this from happening but like any other form of anticheat they're not 100% effective (and nor do they need to be to be worth having).

> The hardware will become widely available once kernel-level anticheat becomes widely used.

Sure, and then the barrier for entry has been raised to buying the correct hardware, having it and keeping it up to date.

> The only thing the anticheat will be able to detect is ordinary hardware.

That's a very bold claim. There's no reason to assume that the hardware will match exactly - I expect that as the cheaters pick devices to spoof the cheat detectors will look for (and find) discrepancies.

"It changes the cost-benefit analysis away from buying an SUV."

How? Aren't people forced to pay restitution? Isn't there insurance?

"I think it's fair to say the owner of a Land Rover SUVs who stereo-typically uses it "for the school run", gives a shit about having a nice car."

So it sounds like they won't be deterred if the argument is that they want what they want.

The NFL is about to get paid.

Teams should be trying to lock up key players with long term contracts, and shouldn't blink at big dollars to do it. The salary cap is going to explode and we'll be marveling at teams that are paying only $45M a year for a top-10 QB.
Since most human activity doesn’t solve the deep problems of abject poverty, a good working hypothesis it that AI doesn’t either.

Even if it does, there is no shortage of people who would like to direct large amounts of resources from a desk chair and feel like they were do-gooders for it.

Andreesen didn’t write “software is feeding the world.” Quite the opposite in fact. And he was in a position to shape some of the world.

I’ve met developers with do-good dream jobs. They are small scale and opened up because the developer paid their dues over many years.

The simplest way to change what you work on is to change the kind of work you do.

E.g. go to nursing school and the possibilities are endless. But you’ll have to change what “being professional“ looks like.

Or quit your job and start the organization that does what you think needs doing.
PGDP is an incredible project. We mostly work on the transcriptions they produce and we specifically avoid creating our own transcriptions, because PGDP already has such a good system in place. When people ask for a new transcription we point them to PGDP instead.

(We have occasionally done our own transcriptions, since in the past few years the US public domain has started expanding again. In these cases we may transcribe a popular book ourselves to have it ready at the start of the public domain year, instead of waiting for PDGP's process.)
We have some people in our company that use tools like Graphite to implement this pattern on top of Github and I don't know if I'm a big fan.

Maybe just a matter of developer discipline, but in my experience people tend to create large stacks of 3+ PRs that then take a while to resolve. Yeah sure, without these tools the code would also exist somewhere, but at least you don't have your pull request list full with PRs that aren't yet ready because the upstream PRs haven't been approved yet. You anyways have to (or should) review things stricly serially, so the additional PRs existing are not super useful either. Maybe as context for the reviewer to see the future work.

Also for some reason these tools seem to encourage people to put unrelated changes in the stack that could be based directly on master. Probably because they are anyways working on their stack and integrating some unrelated fix they just did into the current stack is easier than rebasing/changing your current context. But that's just a minor pet peeve.

That said, I would still like a tool that lets me manage stacked branches just for myself. Not exposing them as Github PRs or so, but to organize my work into different branches. Executing a chain of rebases of branch N -> (N-1) can get quite annoying manually. Probably some arcane git magic to (interactively) rebase branch N->(N-1)->...1 in one command exists already.
I think QR codes are actually great for this (so long as you are storing basic data like plain text that is likely to be recoverable for a long time). It has built in error correction and software for reading them is extremely widespread.

However, more than just error correction, we should really try to make formats that are resilient to data corruption. For example, zip files seem much more resilient than gzipped tarballs because each file is compressed separately.

Digital copies are really not that durable, we just sometimes confuse ease of copying with durability. This sometimes helps, but only if you can have distributed copies.
On the filesizes I was working with (log files) both silver surfer and GNU grep would lock up and crash. Ripgrep handled the same thing in _seconds_. The difference in speed is staggering you may not think the speed bothers you, but I can't go back after installing ripgrep. Its the difference between my mind wandering waiting for a search to complete, versus instantly seeing the results and not losing a train of thought.

Maybe a quick look to Germany might help. The 9 Euro ticket was / is a great success on its own. However, the more important thing is that people are now actively talking alternatives for transportation, like cheaper / free public transport, investing and building and so on.

Unfortunately, I am using a ~12 year old Kindle which isn't going to be seeing any updates, so discontinuing send-to-Kindle for MOBI will basically just mean I can't use that feature anymore.
Basically: you don't :)

I've only ever found this workflow to work if you can attach multiple commits/code reviews to single higher-level work items in your project management software. There's simply too much overhead if you try to correlate project management items one-to-one with commits/code reviews.
Use data on how long it takes to complete “projects.” Or break the project down into your best projection of the component tasks and multiply “number of equivalently sized tasks” by “average time to complete that sort of task over the past X months.”

Regardless, “collect and use data from the past,” does not require a “completely steady state,” and is pretty easy to modify. I’d feel a lot better having a conversation around, “this is totally new, do we think it will take about 2x or 5x longer than our normal projects?” Vs “this is totally new, so everyone guess how many months it will take without looking at any relevant data on either past project duration OR the accuracy of your past guesses.”

When people talk about “estimating task size” they almost invariably mean some planning-poker version of the second. Especially in TFA where they bring up forecasting as a better alternative.
not sure about "expected". Quite a few of my friends and myself got computers in this era, vic20s, c64s, Spectrums, Ataris mostly. Most of my friends just loaded games. I learnt to program mine ( I had a few of these books! ), another friend spent a little bit of time learning basic also, but pirating quickly became a thing and soon everyone had a ton of games.

The first one is from before the first lockdown. The strategy was completely replaced when lockdown happened. It was unrecognisable from then on.

The second one is about "deploying fear, shame and scapegoating" which the document I linked specifically calls out as a communication strategy with more downsides than any of the others they mentioned. However, Priti Patel just can't resist such activities.
The problem is so clear, but the NIMBYs still vote and increased interest rates may make this worse.

It was, and is, a hugely meaningful factor. Sticking your head in the sand and pretending that it's a republican smear campaign doesn't help.

Texas has more wind power generation than any other state in the US by far. Texas is all aboard the wind train. It's a huge part of the economy. Texas wants wind to win. But that doesn't change reality.

In the last month, Texas has gotten close to electricity demand exceeding supply. A significant factor behind this is that Texas gets nearly 20% of its electricity from wind generation. On your average summer day, wind generates between 15 and 25 GW. However, during the recent heat wave, wind speeds dropped in west Texas (where the bulk of the wind farms are) and wind was only generating less than 2 GW during the hottest part of the day.

Similarly, Texas usually gets about 10 GW of power from solar. However, solar drops off to 0 GW very rapidly around 7 or 8 PM. However, in the summer in Texas, the temperature is still at its peak around 7 PM, so there is still significant demand while solar generation is dropping.

Wind and solar are unlike thermal generation in that we (humans) can choose to burn more oil and create thermal generation when needed. But with solar and wind, we cannot choose to suddenly create more wind or sun. We are at the whims of nature, and until we figure out better solutions for these problems (battery storage, maybe), wind and solar have their disadvantages compared to thermal. Pretending otherwise is not helpful.
Accounts are not a good separation of context already, let alone privilege escalation exploits.

If you’re concerned about one use affecting the other you’re much better off dual-booting two Windows installations, both using BitLocker. They’d use separate keys and AES-XTS means there’s tamper protection as well. One partition could, at worst, destroy the other.
This is a pattern I see very often and that I think all of us can see all the time. The developers of software try to control how the users use the software.

This is not just a regular customer or user relationship between the user and the developer. This is something else, some kind of controlling behavior that we need to get rid of.

You can't force someone to stop doing something as long as they do it on their own computer. You have to choose; either people use your computer with your rules or they use their own computer with their rules.

If players want to cheat, that's the player's problem, not the developer's problem.

I mean that was what 2000? 2002? Peak dotcom time.

That is the admitted cost of Hinkley C and lower bound on the cost of Sizewell (it will go up, they always do). Sizewell is a rolls royce smr. Matching end user retail cost of solar. Right now. By the time sizewell comes online it'll be a fraction. It's also calculated with a 12.5% capacity factor which is winter in the UK. Add in overnight costs and it's extremely one sided.

You could add as much net capacity as the UK has in nuclear in just above the space used for parking cars.

You could add twice to four times that again just on detached house rooftops.

Even as a commercial installation with no other purpose, a 4km square is hardly an insurmountable barrier.

The initial capital budget of sizewell and hinkley alone could provide 30-80GW of nameplate solar or a rooftop system on every building in the country.

If there are trillions in the pot, by all means go ham with fission, but when low carbon sources are fighting for the scraps left over after subsidizing fossil fuels we have to do the thing that is effective first.
The fact that the article and the discussion are ignoring the war, which is the elephant in the room.

Whether 'nudging' works or not, the concept is unacceptable to me.

First, the term 'nudging' is a misnomer. Let's call it what it is - manipulation. Manipulating the options or defaults to some other set in order to achieve a better outcome for someone...

Well, who is that someone? The government?

Who says that their values align with mine? I wouldn't have responded as the government did to the pandemic, but their nudge units went into overdrive nudging people into vaccinations, etc. Is preventing access to bank accounts for protesting government actions (as in Canada) a 'nudge'?

Can I challenge the promoted values? If the state apparatus has its own values and agenda, how do I get to state mine - where is the values/ethics discussion being had, and how do I get my say? I find the promoted values Orwellian, communistic, overly progressive - one for all, but not all for one... is that opinion fair to hold? Or must I be nudged over the cliff?

Aren't we really just talking about soft-sell authoritarianism here? Weren't we just meant to vote for people, not have a perpetual nanny state guiding us?

>because they would require different approaches

No, but that would be true in the reverse situation if we were going the other way and no longer counting inspection since it adds the ability for new strategies and tricks to be integrated. By counting the inspection time the event devolves into just immediately doing what you see first and makes some strategies unviable.

>Also I'm curious as to why people don't use all the inspection time in something that's so competitively min-maxed

As the other reply mentioned the more moves you plan the harder it is to know the current state of the cube at the end of what you planned. There's also a difference between knowing the general position a piece will be in and knowing the exact position and orientation of pieces which is necessary for adding more moves for your plan.
Not the most premium but Bella Canvas or Next Level "Heavyweight" Tees, usually sold as blanks and can be used for company branded apparel. I would recommend the Heather ones which have a poly blend, soft and durable.

Their normal weight ones are also ok but might not feel as premium.

Part of the issue with the mindset of never outsourcing mission-critical tasks is, if something is not important, why are we doing it? Do we just like wasting money?

For example, if I work at an accounting firm and we build our own account software (or modules, or whatever), is this development work not mission-critical? If the solution is good, our processes will become dependent on the tools, and the tools will need to be maintained and even improved.

So then, what can be outsourced? Team-building exercises? Not sure, but in any case, this "mission-critical" mindset should err on the side of always doing software development in-house. Which seems to me like a wise decision long-term, though it may seem too rigid a view in the short term.
Nitpicking a little here. The minimum is 2 moves, with exceptions for 2x2, Skewb, Square-1, and Pyraminx. https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/regulations/#4b3
I'm just pointing out differing terms for the same thing.

If a media outlet supports a coup or an attempted coup, they will tend to call it an "uprising", "revolution" or similar. "Coups" are used when the coverage is negative.

Likewise, uprisings and revolutions get rid of "regimes", while coups overthrow "democratically elected governments". Exactly how democratic either the aforementioned "regime" or "elected government" actually is doesn't seem to factor into things.

Imagine being able to say "I feel concatenative this afternoon" and easily find active interesting efforts to contribute to for a few hours, solo or pair or team. Dreams for the newborn github included support for let's-meetup-and-hack realtime dynamic community formation, but I've not yet seen the like.

I enjoyed Factor. Fixed stack-effect seemed a nice trade of flexibility for less oops.

I'd love to see someone start concatenative, but with a replace-the-world focus. So move quickly up-scale to single and multiple dispatch PICs, tabled WAM, clone V8 internals, link Z3, etc, etc. "If you're not able to implement other languages in bulk, and better than they are, you're still wedged".
