Well said. This matches my experience 100%.

A pretty well known ticketing company bought our startup a few years ago, and after the first week of parties, raising salaries and hyping us the reality struck us very hard. It was impossible to do any work at all. Anything you wanted to do would require tons of meetings, there was always a few people blocking any initiative you could have.

And then the freaking Agile By The book (with agile coaches and all!) I couldn't stand for the life of me. We'd have like 10 ritual meetings a week and the joke was that those meetings were to discuss "What we're going to do, what we're not doing, and what we didn't do".

Worst part, is that *everything* pushed you to just stay at your desk watching online courses or reading stuff on the internet and do nothing, and as long as you showed up to your scheduled meetings, all was good. You'd even get promotions by just smiling around and being nice to others.

I left that and now I'm at a company about 3 times as big. The difference is that here we're 100% remote and 100% async, written communication. Literally ZERO work meetings a week, just one "hang out" to not forget about the faces of your coworkers. No Agile, no Jira, no bullshit. A shared "to do" list to show others what you're on and weekly reports of your progress. I just can't believe how well this works.
I've had a different experience (at least with engineering processes). Most of the time, it's been due to things in the past that have broken because we didn't check things or we got misaligned on something or people made assumptions that turned out not to be true.

I'm not saying that adding additional layers of process is always the right answer--there's obviously a cost to adding more process so there needs to be a balance and a continual reassessment of which processes are worth keeping. But in my experience, the intention has always been good: to avoid mistakes, problems, and failures that we've experienced in the past.

Not that I'm aware of. The typical way is for you, assuming you live in an area without a club to attend a meeting at a larger city with a club. Then members of that club can sponsor and help you set up a local branch. They'll come and do some demo talks etc. You can gather a local audience for that and finally you're good to go.

The manuals and the pathways program give you instructions on what each project has to achieve etc.
You're describing a scenario where an incompetent manager is both clueless about the technology and doesn't spare even a few minutes to do their job. I'm sure that happens, unfortunately.

But, the point that I was making was simply that trust is an essential part of software work, and people who pride themselves on doing only the minimal amount of work, risk messing up this system of trust for everyone else. We all want a manager who trusts us when we say a problem is hard and it will take time. And managers want engineers who when they say they're working on a problem, they're actually putting time and effort into it.

In the (hopefully very rare) case where an engineer puts in a measly amount of effort during the week but pretends they're hard at work, this trust is broken, and in the worst outcome, the manager or company overcorrects and it becomes a shitty place to work.

How? Get rid of the universe, and the concept of pi doesn't exist. Pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to it's diameter. Circles didn't exist before the universe, thus no pi. There could be another universe where circles are impossible due to whatever laws of physics exist, thus no pi.

1: Michelson-Morley experiment: https://physics.stackexchange.com/a/472611
I'm extremely confused about this. I have an older Kindle Paperwhite (PW 3/ 7th gen I think?) and when I used the 'email sent' feature I got that mail about dropping mobi support in favor of epub, but when sending an actual epub I got an error for sending a wrong file, ostensibly because the Kindle only supports mobi.

Are they going to ship a software update? Would be a shame if that service doesn't work any more in the future.
$25K is peanuts if anything even mildly serious happens.
> I wish neurotypical folks could see the other side and experience what it's like to be around mostly autistic people.

Personally I suspect (without too much evidence) that what would happen if such an experiment were honestly tried is that the autists would "route around" the NT socially rather than trying to change them. The game of trying to squash individuality isn't terribly appealing to autists for obvious reasons, albeit historically contingent ones.
If you consider obeying the law equivalent to slavery, then I absolutely am saying that. The law is other people's choices imposed upon you.
I think in the end people who are different (no matter if autistic, bipolar, whatever) need to learn to get along with each other. Whenever one side says: "I am right, I don't move a bit to accomodate anyone else", he is doing the opposite. This piece reads exactly like that. It calls people who communicate and think differently indistinctly bullies.

If you claim to be a complex thinker, you also consider people in your analysis, then that should also apply first hand, not just as a part of the solutions you propose. If you are unable to do that: fine, nobody is expected to be perfect. But don't claim to be perfect.
Hi Julian. Don't know about Reddit, but you can probably find some groups on Facebook. I'm a member of a few there, but they are specific to my city and/or country (Australia). Some groups can be good, and others toxic, so your mileage may vary. In particular a Dads-only group can be a pretty good low-judgement venue for blokes.

No, the LITERAL definition of dead weight is "

This particular page is only talking about a change to Microsoft's ebook store.

On Amazon's side, they've been updating their docs to talk about how MOBI is "deprecated", but the only actual change announced is that MOBI support has been removed from the "Send to Kindle" (via email) feature. So if you're not using that, you should be unaffected.
The issue is not whether it acts like regular matter.

At issue is, rather, whether observations consistent with DM as formulated should be privileged over others that are not. Current behavior of cosmologists is that inconvenient observations should not count, and need not be paid any attention.

That is why the authors bring up sociological explanations for cosmologists' behavior. It is not scrupulous science.

You don’t want that. They (and others like Verizon) have repeatedly taken government grants to extend their networks into unserved areas (both rural and urban) and then just not done the work. Ars Technica follows this stuff pretty closely and they’ve done some good reporting on it.
If you worked in finance, 2008 was terrifying. It felt like all the banks might go under. You might say "FDIC", but they don't have enough to cover a system wide problem. Plus lots of money was in money market accounts which people thought was safe... until it wasn't. Many companies were reliant on short term loans "commercial paper" which dried up. It felt like dominoes were about to start falling....

Many people lost jobs, good people in good jobs.

Current situation doesn't feel remotely as bad, like not even in the same ballpark.
Interesting, I thought piracy might’ve had something to do with it.
I'm with you also. But it is getting harder and harder. I'm convinced that Facebook are actively downgrading their in-browser mobile experience for this reason. They want to force you to use their app. Reddit, at least, are more honest about it - but also very annoying.

Features that used to work just fine (tagging people, editing comments) are becoming worse.
I really can't imagine businesses giving up on Microsoft anytime soon. MS could triple their OS prices for businesses and not lose any customers.

I've had this theory for a long time that maybe the missing mass that dark matter is supposed to account for is actually antimatter (which also should theoretically exist in equal quantities to matter), due to antimatter actually having antigravity, and therefore dispersing thinly throughout space rather than clumping together.

Can someone knowledgeable in physics set me straight on the plausibility of this theory?
I've been lucky to only ever work at places with very technical managers, who don't blindly accept estimates, and actively work with the developers to figure out how to work faster.

But, the usual pattern for people who work slow, is that some new complication always comes up. And it's not easy to know when the complication is legitimate and will take time to figure out, or something that could easily be dispatched in an hour's time.

On a side-note: I'm surprised devices like Kindle survive where superior ones like those from Sony perish simply because of the software walled garden. Not a good outlook for humanity.
> Galaxies seem to have gotten big impossibly early.

A MoND-like theory that allows the strength of gravity / inertia to vary over time can explain that. Granted, that sounds farfetched, but then, so does DM. Of course, it's easy to spend money looking for DM, and hard to spend money looking for a better theory of gravity.
Single electron wave behaviour is useless?
I'm not understanding your argument. You say that unlocking a bootloader is dangerous, so what's your solution? You can't have non-unlockable bootloaders because that would mean a loss of hardware functionality, which you just suggested you consider unacceptable. You can't have easily unlockable bootloaders because that would be dangerous. So now what?

I proposed a very reasonable solution that gives the user control AND responsibility of their own device. If you don't want the responibility (and the control) then stick with your manufacturer's locked bootloader and never touch it.

I don't know about you but I would really like if my work phone had a company-set bootloader lock just like my work laptop has a company-set BIOS lock in case someone steals it or gets lost. There are plenty of professional and personal reasons why my solution would make a lot of sense in my opinion.

Amen, once upon a time I worked for a company and I didn't miss a single day for almost 3 years. Then at the moment I needed to work remote due to a family member's terminal cancer, I got oh so sorry to hear that, but by the way you f*** something up last week.

You sure you really need to work remote, can you work remote like one day a week. Are you sure, it's like terminal terminal.

Eventually they agreed to let me work remote but then they hired a replacement behind my back .

Luckily my childhood taught me not to trust people. When someone shows you who they really are, believe them. So I already had a better paying job lined up.

Hell, I nearly doubled my pay too!
One word: Betamax
I agree that it seems like the "game" part of the latency has about 33ms extra, but the source of this breakdown[0] seems to be knowledgeable and includes measurements that corroborate many of the claims. I was surprised, for example, that vsync seemed to add 2 frames of latency rather than 1 in this test.

The total time in this breakdown is in line with the measured total time, so if the source is wrong about the game by claiming it takes longer than it does, they're also claiming that some other stages take less time than they do by basically the same amount. I would bet on the monitor, but I don't have much reason to think they're wrong to begin with.

This is completely consistent with what I said. Even as a team effort, you want your manager to trust when you say something has some non-obvious complexity. And the manager wants to trust their team members.

But my comment stems from someone above who said they do the minimum amount of work possible. This sucks for the team, who is working hard and trying to make progress, meanwhile this person is barely doing any work every day in between gaming or reddit or whatever, but (presumably) still joins stand-ups and Slack to chime in with whatever "complication" he's having to work through that day, and always gives the impression that their work is super tricky.
I mean I’m autistic and on intelligence testing I’m all over the map. How smart I am depends on what you’re talking about. Just because I’m both more able and more trained to understand something than some senior manager, and I’m bad at the politics, doesn’t secretly unveil I’m not TRULY smart. In fact if we go back to OPs actual point, it was over people taking offence to his great confidence in specific subdomains of technology, something I have seen autistic people understand to a level of genius more than once.
My comments are in reply to your statement about not understanding how a civilized country can ban knots. To spell it out, I'm saying that we love banning things, and banning a knot is in line with that: it's not even the most disturbing ban we have. For example, we ban symbols (e.g. swastikas).
This sounds exactly like the CSAM detection lists, you can go back to the threads when Apple introduced device-side CSAM scanning for arguments about that.

I think the proposal of piggybacking on X-Frame-Options as expressed is just a smidgeon too coarse, and it needs a little more nuance.

My suggestion would be that web views that aren’t deliberately being an actual browser be classified as possessing some origin, preferably checked where possible by the OS to match an origin or custom scheme that’s associated with the app (thus generally tying into Android’s app links and iOS’s universal links). Of course, this is still technically fallible since browsers need to be able to disable it, so it’d become another thing for the app store reviewers to check.

Then, you apply your Content-Security-Policy’s frame-ancestors directive (the successor to X-Frame-Options, allowing more nuance than simple DENY/SAMEORIGIN: e.g. `Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'self' instagram:` would be same-origin or the Instagram app), and treat deny as “open in an external browser”, as proposed.
