I do agree with you, and it’s not that I hate agile, I actually think it’s a great way of working, if you allow teams to change what it means to work agile. However, more often than not, those agile coaches or scrum masters follow to handbook, without allowing real world experiences to change the process.

I think most countries that are worried about traceability (of cash) would simply require proof of origin: eg. bank withdrawal even if from 20 years ago; or house sale or... whatever that provides the proof that the cash in question could have originated from a legal, taxed source.

What you’re describing here is economic suicide. One party could vote this into law, but it would be repealed in absolutely no more than four years.

Fossil fuel lobbyists aren’t the problem. No one individual nation is willing to commit economic suicide while the rest of the world advances. There is no appetite at present for a global economic suicide pact.

Your 8% comment is fundamentally wrong, too. You don’t think the “lots of other costs” would be impacted by a 40% fuel tax?!? Back to reality, please.

The victim-perpetrator binary is a false dilemma. Courts recognize contributory negligence in car accidents, why shouldn't they recognize them for self-inflicted financial harms in which one was aware or should have been aware of the risks?
I suppose even fewer people have heard that Transfer-Encoding: chunked supports chunk extensions, which allows one to supply arbitrary metadata without trailers.

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2616#section-3.6.1

Ever went to some site that generates compressed downloads or database exports on the fly, got no progress bar as a result, and were severely annoyed by that lack of feedback? I was, so I used chunk extensions to submit a draft to emit progress information dynamically:

As noted at the end of the draft, this could be generalized and extended to have additional capabilities such as in flight integrity checks, or whatever you can think of.
A broadly educated population is toxic to conservative ideologies.
Anti-intellectualism is a central part of the ideology championed by a party whose ministers express statements like "The people of this country have had enough of experts" and who rail against "metropolitan elites". Your life story - interesting though it is - and a list of policies you disagree with are neither here nor there.
"The problem with climate change is that it creates a reality distortion field"

Very much so!

"Anyone who would honestly try to think about it would give up on life"

Not at all. There are lots of people who studied this stuff carefully, thought honestly about it, and came to realize that the claims of doom and armageddon are woefully over-exaggerated. They realize that the people claiming the world is going to end because of climate change have been making those very same predictions for 70 years+ now and were always wrong, because their 'science' is flawed and agenda-driven.

Of course you aren't allowed to listen to such people, let alone be one, lest the sandwich-board wearers have a meltdown about it, so the mass hysteria gets worse every year, and the predictions get ever more extreme and less connected to reality.

"Meanwhile the world is less organized than ever."

Excellent! That is how it should be. The sort of people who want to "organize" the world have a terrible track record of causing hundreds of millions of deaths when their organized plans go awry and they can't admit it. The world needs much less organization a.k.a. central planning, and way more people being honest about climate science.
That's only perception of continuity. I'm specifically speaking about physical continuity. Continuity of our physical system which has constant internal communication, this internal network dialog does not stop even when under anaesthesia.

Our continued awareness comes from being the same physical system when we wake back up even if you don't have memory of the events.
The problem is that the relationship almost certainly exists, but is impossible to prove. It goes through so many levels of indirection. The people directly rewarded are rarely the ones who actually generate a societal surplus. That doesn't mean no good is being done, though.

You can look at China's history to see this. The civil service exams weren't perfect, and a lot of their most interesting people (artists, scientists, etc.) actually failed them because they didn't have the patience for all the rote memorization and for the conformity that success in that game required. Likewise, often the people who excelled at the exams (whether because of genuine talent or mere material ambition) turned into well-paid inconsequential bureaucrats, but--and this is key--the exams' existence, by forcing society to make it an unquestionable pillar that there must always be a supported market for intellectual talent, made China flourish for centuries, even if the exams themselves were flawed.

Indeed, what today's Chinese (meaning the leadership) understand well is that we in the West and especially the Anglosphere, by handing the keys over to our short-sighted, micro-optimizing merchant classes, have all but guaranteed our own decline. China [1] has thousands of years of experience at making sure that, no matter how rich a businessman may get, he will never attain even full respectability let alone the cultural influence requisite to corrode a society from within the way ours has. The West, which may not survive the disaster that has been neoliberalism, needs to learn before it is too late that spreadsheets themselves do not generate useful arts or scientists, never have and never will.

----

[1] I may sound fawning on this particular point, but I'm not pro-CCP and never have been. China's maltreatment of Tibetans and Uyghurs is especially deserving of execration. Their government has done quite a lot that is wrong. However, China's 5,000-year commitment to, while allowing the merchant class to flourish when it is useful, keeping it in its rightful place below actual intellectuals, is a case of excellence (not unbroken in time, perhaps) we should try to replicate.
The title "post-apocalyptic programming" made me think, if there is an apocalypse and we have to start programming from scratch again, surely we will need some NAND gates to make a CPU and surely the first language we need to create is Forth.

And this article does talk about creating a Forth from scratch. Excellent choice for post-apocalyptic programing.
That is absolutely bizarre.

It's not just indie games, though. The Final Fantasy 7 remake has a gamepad-first/keyboard-shoehorned-in input scheme. It makes the game nearly unplayable.
Incorporating blockchain technology into NGOs' operations is a practical method to solve the issues that plague them frequently. The operations of NGOs will become transparent and unchangeable thanks to an integrated blockchain system. Any food NGOs or NPO's value chain will reveal that a blockchain-enabled system may achieve this transparency at every link in the chain. By increasing knowledge and assisting social groups in developing shared systems of record for corporate donors, blockchain technology can enable new paradigms for change.
I posted this because I think it's useful to be reminded of the brutality and senselessness of war. I have no political agenda.
I have a PhD from an arts university.

My impression was that arts eduction is generally an exploitative scam. As someone (Grayson Perry?) said, they teach all of the stuff you can't learn and none of the stuff you can.

You'll spend 100% of your time trying to develop an 'art practice', which is very likely to entail staring into the middle distance for most your course, or perhaps half reading some philosophy books (preferably ones with no agreed interpretation, so no one can tell if you've actually read them or not).

Meanwhile, you'll spend 0% of your time learning the durable skills you'll need to have a career - varies of by context, but project management and the technical skills for whatever your medium is would be useful.

They whole sector is obsessed with constantly reasserting its moral superiority - "artists are the enemy of dictators" etc. - while studious turning a blind eye to the fact that nearly all the students are hopelessly ill equipped to do anything when they graduate.

I could go on - but the culture of UK arts institutions is hopelessly broken in my view.
>No. You make it revenue neutral by using the money to reduce other taxes (and make the 0% bracket wider) rather than introducing a distribution system. Why make it more complex than it needs to be?

I don't see how a negative income tax is any different from a direct payout, you're just playing with terminology. Alternatively, if what you described is not a negative income tax then what you just did is a tax cut for people with high incomes which is anti progressive. People who pay little or no income taxes wouldn't get anything.
Pisses me off in London. It costs say £2.50 to take a journey, but the adverts reduce that price to £2.30.

Adverts on trains are even worse, I pay £100+ for a ticket and have to suffer the adverts because they want to get another 50p or whatever.

So I'll drive instead. Although the M6 seems to have more and more adverts in fields along it as time does on.

When I'm dictator of the world I'll ban all adverts, they are a drain on society.

Source? Based on what standard of living/level of technology? There was even a time I thought Julian Simon had a point, but in the years since then everything I've witnessed has suggested quite the opposite. The more of us there are it's just as likely a tiny percentage will destroy the planet for the rest of us than it is a few geniuses will help us invent our way out of trouble.
I expect someone at those agencies ask the questions like. So how many users did we actually want? And I think there would be lot more backdoors.

That's not really a problem as far as I can tell. The standard definitions take care of this.

>Here's an illustrative thought experiment: imagine you have a time machine. Now pick a worker at random from some time and place in the past 5 centuries, and carry them forward by 30 years. will they be able to earn a living?

I don't find Stross' thought experiment very convincing. One doesn't need to imagine time travel. A CS graduate from the 1990s who didn't timetravel directly to 2020s but got there regular way and didn't do anything to update their skills during those years would find themselves with equal difficulties in job market than the time-traveler. (edit: Or worse difficulties.) That is why it is a good idea to continuously develop ones skills.

However, on much shorter timescales, say, 5 years, one can make a reasonable guess what kind of degree is more likely to result in gainful employment after graduation than other. A degree doesn't equip one for a job, but a useful one results in one enough understanding of some field that one obtains, should I say, a fighting chance or more to equip oneself for a job related to the field. And having a job often results in better chances to learn more and further equip oneself for one's next job.

Then in a later part of the blog post Stross argues that as arts sector is today very profitable to the UK, it warrants continued government support for arts education. This strikes me a bit inconsistent with his earlier claim that prediction of the future need for skilled jobs from the current state is impossible.

A better argument would be that it is possible that arts are going to be more useful than STEM in the future, and it would be unwise to cease arts degrees. It has certain ring of truth to it. However, I came under impression that Stross is in favor of keeping the number of arts degrees at the same level or increasing their amount, but if we take "impossibility of prediction" seriously, there is no telling the current amount -- or higher amount, or lower amount -- of arts degrees awarded is any better in 30 years either.

I am not sure the education allocation is best done by the government giving commands how many artists and engineers are needed to be trained (or given subsidies to be trained, or whatever). If that choice is for each individual to decide without government planners intervening, they at least have some idea of their personal talents, wishes, and circumstances than either Rishi Sunak or Charlie Stross.
Uhm, gmx.com was a free email provider probably in the 90s already. I still have an address with them, though I don't use it at all.

FWIW, it was much better email service than the other email services from that era.

Ask HN: Career Advice
I'm working on the same company from nearly 3 years as Senior Software Engineer, around 2 years ago I started having talks with the manager of that time to move to a Lead position, made various plans and one of them was to do something significant for the company. I had an idea in mind on how to improve the architecture of the frontend part of the company application, I expose the idea to a couple of colleagues, and with some brainstorming the idea becomes a presentation, I present the presentation first to the manager then to the CTO. Fast forward 6 months and a team was created to make this idea a reality, in few words the project is to transform the frontend from a big monolith into micro-frontends, the project includes creating tools to make that happen, a proof-of-concept split of the monolith, and best practices to keep everything working properly and tidy.

The created team at the beginning was composed by: 1 developer ( myself ), 1 product owner, 1 scrum master and 1 manager. As I joined this new team I had to change manager. The promise was that more developers will join the team in the future. After 2 months two developers join the team, one month after the leave the company for reasons unrelated to the work being done ( one of the developer wanted to become a doctor, the other was his best friend and followed ). Two months later another developer join the team, he leaves the company after 2 months because the job was too hard compared to the previous team. Another six months pass and new hire joins the team, this was 5 months ago.

During this one year and half I had constant talks with my new manager about the Lead position ( that then became Staff Engineer position ), all that happen were talks talks and only talks, no action whatsover. The justification for the impossibility to move that position is that I need to show managerial skill over a big number of developers and unfortunately my team is composed by only two developers and the other teams grew very independent from us, and the reason why other teams are independent is because we did a good job at documenting everything and setting up the tools and the new micro-frontends so best practices are natural to follow, at the beginning the other teams did approach us with questions and need for direction but in the last 4 months this has become very very rare.

The worst part is that everyone in my previous team had a promotion, all the juniors are now Mid or Senior, and the other Senior developer is now Lead ( we were only two senior in the previous team 1 year and half ago ).

I honestly don't know what to do anymore, I feel like I hit a brick wall, I talk about this with my manager every two weeks and he always says something will be done. Work has become de-motivating, I ended up in the team that does one of the hardest work in the company and that every other team now depends on, and this has only set me back. I tried to move back to the previous team but they don't let me because I'm the person with the highest knowledge of how the architecture of the app and it's inner workings.
The issue with current penetrators is they aren't designed for the mission. Reusing old designs but now with better guidance systems is really designing a new weapon system based on older principles which means a full R&D cycle and hoping people haven't built defenses for such an old approach.

There are three basic angles of attack, from the front, top, and water. Anything that comes in from the front or top and then detonates has a large hole to let energy back out without damaging the structure. The same issue also applies to a water entry with current perpetrators as these things are designed for high speed impacts which creates a large void behind the bomb.

Ideally you want something that lands in exactly the right spot and then slowly sinks to the right depth. And of course no netting to be around the dam to make the mission that much more difficult. Which gets back to my previous point, it’s clearly possible, just technically difficult.
No that would just make poor people poorer and rich people richer because you are increasing taxes on the poor while decreasing taxes on the rich.

Apart from different implementation languages and techniques (Rust/JavaScript/C, WAM/AST interpretation etc.), one of the most striking and impactful differences is that Scryer, Tau and Trealla Prolog aspire towards ISO conformance, i.e., they try to adhere to the Prolog standard, whereas SWI intentionally does not adhere to the standard:

https://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/ulrich/iso-prolog/SWI7_and...

Scryer already provides an interface for attributed variables that is compatible to SICStus Prolog, one of the most sophisticated Prolog systems, and uses it to implement various constraints such as dif/2 (also rudimentarily available in Trealla, but not yet in Tau), Boolean constraints etc., which I hope become available in Tau, Trealla and other upcoming systems such as ichiban/prolog in due time.

The difference is control. You can choose which compiler to use for your project, even an outdated version if it works for your use case. But you have no control over what JIT engine visits your site.

What seems appalling to me is that Apple never deemed necessary to map Begin/End, nor to provide a setting to do so.

The hardware can be annoying too with the lack of connectivity, or the minimalist, mostly unlabeled keyboard that requires konami codes for brackets, tilda or pipes (fr layout).

On the software side, I should add to that my daily gripes with the clumsy and slow window manager, the forced (slow) animations, the lack of jails or containers, the need for extensions (sometimes payware) for menial tasks such as setting the battery charge thresholds or putting the scroll wheel back to the "natural" direction, but I would digress.

macOS constantly bugs me with little annoyances and wastes of time I never have with Sway, and I have no control over them. I guess I'm just not the target audience.
It seems like you are saying that only if we ban cheap and mediocre products, everyone will get good products?
English has "thou", which was the singular second person pronoun, and "you" which was the plural second person pronoun, but also used as a more formal, polite singular second person pronoun. Through a kind of formality inflation, everyone started using "you" all the time and abandoned "thou". Contemporary standard English doesn't have a plural second person pronoun, but needs one, and so "y'all" (or "ya'll") is being used now in some regions.

A friend of mine is very stressed about the current geopolitical situation, and follows the latest developments every few hours. I'm roughly aware of it. Our impact on the situation is exactly the same.

From the draft: I followed 20 years of news about Afghanistan, and all I got out of it was talking points. No facts, no nuance, just pre-chewed talking points from people one lesson ahead of the class. I recently went on a deep dive about Afghanistan, and boy was I misinformed.

Remember the early days of covid? How much of the information was accurate and useful? How much of it was just speculation or filler content? Would you be in a different place if you just let the most important information surface to you?
Your goal as a manager is to maintain flow - provided that you hired competent people.

When you lose it and you feel the blame starts shifting your way your tendency is to set up more control and visibility. Here comes the daily standup and jira board of tasks. You lose even more flow as yoir team spends majority of time estimating and administering tasks in real time so that when you look at it once a week, it is semi-up to date.

What you were looking for in the first place were to discover obstructions to the flow and finding process bottlenecks. You want to find out that one person that everything depends on to move and everybody slamming them with tasks and now the extra task tracking. You want to find out why that important task is not getting finished because the person is getting blocked on some infra problem and instead of reporting the blockage to you they pick up another task from the queue. Why would they report that if the only thikg you desire reported is what everybody ia working on - the important blocked people will always tell you they are busy enough as they found something else to work on.

As a manager, how are you expecting to get any outcome if you never find the workplace bottlenecks and you only demand pople to get busy.
