No; it was perfectly clear. Who can you even point to in our society comes even remotely close to aligning with Soviet ideals? Like who are you even talking about? Nobody with leftist ideals thinks that the Soviet regime did things right.

And they weren't spending the budget as intended (hence the vast number of open positions) and they still have tons of room to hire with the 2021 budget, so what was actually lost?
Congrats Liusha and team!!

> All our estimates were proclaimed wrong

I've seen something like this happen, and I must wonder. The only ones that can give an estimation are the people who will actually do the work. This estimation will likely be also wrong, but it's their job and their estimation. How can anyone else dispute it?

Very tempted to reply "well, how about you do it in two weeks then?". I never do, because I want to keep my job. And nobody is ever punished for missing deadlines, anyway.
At this point people have worked out how to just reflash the firmware on the devices. It's just not really possible to make something impossible to abuse, its just up to the legal system now.

It's impossible to make a knife that isn't trivial to abuse but we accept that the utility makes it worth allowing them and use the legal system to go after the abusers.
Side tone and no weird jitter/delay that causes me to step on other parties speech were both good things.
The FDA has been authorized (and mandated) by Congress to regulate medical devices (including hearing aids, among other things) since the Medical Device Regulation Act was passed in 1976-- this isn't a regulatory agency reaching outside its authorized purview, nor is it the same sort of legal ambiguity that was in question with West Virgina v. EPA.

If you want less regulation in this space, that's a change in the law that needs to go through Congress. Which is exactly what happened here for hearing aids.
For previous generations, you could say much the same thing about Germany and the engineering and automotive sectors.

Afghanistan is an inhospitable place that doesn't have inherent qualities such as a skilled population, high population density, logistics channels, shipping ports, or a geography amenable to developing the above. They could become a major minerals exporter (there's believed to be a lot of lithium in Afghanistan, for example) but that would, at best, make Afghanistan more like nearby wealthy oil states.

Having worked in actual "waterfall" (which is just a perjorative term) environment in the defense industry long ago, scrum is quite a bit worse in overhead, amount of nonsense, waste, inflexibility, etc.

Agile/scrum is a codeword for "we don't want to / know how to / haven't ever experienced long term planning, but we're going to do it anyway".
I'm not sure they do get such a raw deal for accepting card payments do they?

Lots of (for example) food stalls in London were popping up as card-only businesses over the last few years, because it was easier than dealing with cash. The EU rules (which presumably still apply until actually repealed) capped the fees pretty effectively.
You are suggesting that regulation is both an effective way to combat quackery and perhaps even the most effective way?

What about costs and benefits, too?
Can you elaborate a bit on what you mean? It's a bit difficult to install build artifacts directly into the system. There are problems like tracking version compatibility, installing resource files and tracking artifacts for removal etc. This is what packages and package managers do. If you wish to take that route, then Arch PKGBUILDs and Gentoo Ebuilds are reasonably easy. Ebuilds have a lot of similarity with ports. Debian's checkinstall is also somewhat successful in it. Nix and Guix also allow you to do this - but the approach is slightly different from the rest. However, all distributions need some metadata and procedure from the user/packager to achieve it.
My land line always worked fine during hurricanes when cell phones were useless and electrical power was out. It is also nice to be able to call 911 and get emergency assistance during hurricanes (YMMV depending on local conditions).

I unironically want to use Postgres WASM and much other software in production.

I want the whole stack to be WASM.

It would provide a lot of interesting advantages for deployment.

Just like the JVM, WASM being relatively limited allows you to assume more about the program you are deploying.
Oh hey, I'm an auditory scientist who studies hearing loss, hearing aids, and self-fitting and other "alternative-fit" audio devices. I'm going to copy a bit from my latest paper that touches on this (TL;DR at the bottom).

"A central problem of hearing aid fitting is that the space of gain-frequency responses that can be achieved with digital hearing aids is extremely large, but only a subset of those responses could reasonably be audiologically appropriate for any particular ear. Client-based selection of amplification has historically involved some combination of restricting the number of individual gain-frequency responses available (e.g., Humes et al., 2017) and providing efficient methods for navigating the space of gain-frequency responses (e.g., Sabin et al., 2020). The approach of offering a choice between three presets was found to be efficacious in clinical trials of a client-driven delivery model (Humes et al., 2017, 2019). Recent work suggests that as few as four gain-frequency responses can provide audiologically appropriate fits to 60%–75% of adults with mild-to-moderate sensorineural loss (Jensen et al., 2020; Urbanski et al., 2021). Greater coverage can be achieved by expanding the number of gain-frequency responses available to the wearer (Sabin et al., 2021). In a field trial of a self-adjustment tool that provided clients with a large range of gain-frequency responses, participants showed slight preferences for self-adjusted settings over clinician-fit settings, and no group-level differences in clinical measures of amplification benefit were observed (Sabin et al., 2020)."

Perry, T. T., & Nelson, P. B. (2022). Self-Adjustment of Hearing Aid Amplification for Lower Speech Levels: Independent Ratings, Paired Comparisons, and Speech Recognition. American Journal of Audiology, 1-17.

TL;DR: Some products will come with 4 or 5 presets that you can choose between and then tweak slightly. Some products will come with software (such as a smartphone app) that includes simplified (yet effective!) user interfaces for the wearer to self-adjust the amplification. Some products will ask you to engage in a computerized hearing test to set the device to levels prescribed by an audiogram-based fitting prescription formula. We will see many more audiologists and hearing instrument specialists modifying their service delivery models to invite people to bring their already-purchased OTC hearing aids in and have them programmed by a specialist.
I’ve worked on three teams which have to some degree been agile in spirit. The first didn’t really have a planning philosophy at all, and was mostly agile in spirit by virtue of that other than when crunch time got really chaotic and stressful. The next took a minor opportunitistic rebellion to achieve, in the midst of a significant culling of management and a sympathetic view from one of the remaining leadership. My current job is thematically between the two and surprisingly adaptable even while being conscious of pressures.

All of these have been unusual work environments so I’m not sure I have reproducible insight to offer (though the second case probably is more reproducible than not at all, and I highly encourage anyone with the opportunity to throw down and choose your own planning adventure to coordinate with your team and see what shakes out; you have nothing to lose but your estimation poker hand).
I guess I'm not adding much to your comment, but I just wanted to remark that this exact thing has been bugging me for ages: people talk about these blockchain projects as being "decentralized" simply because _execution of the algorithm_ is distributed across lots of (mutually distrusting) nodes. This perspective confuses me, because it doesn't seem to be a particularly meaningful distinction when there is still one consensus truth in the network.

In the case of a naming system, as you point out, that means there is still one finite, scarce namespace in the system, just as there is in DNS.

More generally, there is still a central authority pushing out code, and so unless you want to hard-fork, what does the "decentralization" in a blockchain actually buy you? Does it do anything more for you in practical terms than protecting you from a central server suffering an outage?

I spent some time a while back coming up with ideas for an alternative to blockchains that would pursue many of the same goals, starting from first principles ("what the heck even _is_ money?"). I have no idea whether any of my ideas would have actually worked in practice, but they at least ticked the "decentralized" box in a way that I found a lot more meaningful than merely "decentralized execution of a centrally-defined algorithm to determine a single global consensus state". (I stopped working on them not because they didn't show promise, but because I became convinced that they would be a net negative for the world if they were successful; I lost the desire to find a working design.)
> Seems like having an available 5% bonus on peak (!) usage is a huge deal, actually.

CalISO showed a peak demand today of ~42GW. 125MW is more than nothing but nowhere close to 5% of peak usage.
Then do that? Is there anything forcing you to use from?

Edit: While opinionated, it's a real question; in my fairly simple use of Python, I have never hit a use of "from" that couldn't have been a plain "import", but if I'm missing a case feel free to correct me.
Witnessed agile/DevOps degenerate into resource constraint paralysis far too often. In general, such approaches are not appropriate for every project... even if you are not the one paying for the billable hours.

The Module pattern design built into many languages like Python is perhaps why some folks get away with it for awhile. ;)

I think the reason why Agile worked, back in the days of the Manifesto authors, is not because of any specific thing in that Manifesto ... but because you had a small team that could decide how they wanted to work. This is antithetical to most corporate management.

Yeah, it’s like biz reads ‘agile’ and sees it as a buzzword for ‘everything we want’ instead of taking the word at face value.
Is it really though? I imagine way more people would love to spend all their free time on their hobbies, and would sacrifice some of the luxuries of the modern world, but work crap jobs. And most of these people don't have kids.

See: the amount of miserable people on Reddit and elsewhere.
There's nothing wrong with a full backlog. And also not with a deadline defining when something should be available. Sometimes such deadlines come from third parties (e.g. retirement of an already deprecated API version), a larger corporate program that requires multiple projects to deliver in sync, or opportunities based on external factors where marketing is already concentrating on a specific date, ...

My approach is the MVP way, where the team delivers everything that is necessary to meet the customers goals. All the bells an whistles can be qdded once those goals are met. If the goal can't be met within the given timeframe, then it's a problem of unrealistic expectations. But most of the times we have met the deadline while otheres with their bloated waterfall projects were late.
Same story. I love Arch, but having more than one computer with constantly changing custom wm/shell/compiler setup makes it complex to replicate the same changes in all the machines. NixOS makes this just one git push/pull and switch away.
Yes, I believe I said no one is incentivized if they can get your tax dollars to pay for their mistakes. That’s precisely my point.

I thought that's mostly the point of the standard or itemized deduction (which businesses don't and shouldn't get).

Bankruptcies still carry a cost, just not in money, but in trust.

There are no costs to the individual entities here however.
I doubt it. I've been trying to sell stuff on there for a while now... totally blows. Mostly spammers or people who don't show up.
Yup. If you're at a shop that is openly waterfall, they do the requirements gathering and design/prototype work up front so the planning is based on something approaching reality.

"Scrum" has become waterfall without the pre-work so it often descends into iteratively pulling estimates out of your asses.
Edible insects role in transmission of parasitic diseases to humans (2019)
I call it 'Wagile'. Everyone uses all the agile buzzwords yet all the project management is focussed on estimates and hard deadlines.

To me the most disturbing part is people read the 'Agile Manifesto' and say, "yep, that's what we do", yet for every item it is the exact opposite. For example, "people over process" seems to be addressed by considering every team member identical and focussing purely on the tickets.

I am to the point now where I think corporate 'Wagile' is the Agile process and I simply don't understand what it was years ago.
Although geomagnetic storms are generally bad for HF propagation, there can be an enhancement at the beginning of a storm. That's what happened today and can be seen in this plot of the Boulder foF2 (the maximum frequency returned from directly overhead).

> You are suggesting that regulation is both an effective way to combat quackery and perhaps even the most effective way?

Yes. To the extent that there are regulatory gaps today, they're almost exclusively filled with quack medicines.

I'm sure the market might work it out in the long-run, but in the meantime people will suffer from inadequate (or even detrimental) medical care.

You seem to accept this logic for drugs, but quack mechanical devices can cause harm as well. For instance, an inappropriate hearing aid could hasten hearing loss.

> What about costs and benefits, too?

We should definitely work to improve the regulatory process, but just giving up on the whole concept of regulation seems counterproductive.
Non-adherence doesn't do these things, being an as*ole does however. It's easy to have a differing viewpoint but just done be an as*ole about it and you're fine.
There aren't too many strange circumstances for a properly written split/test routine. Described more precisely:—

1. Split on @
2. Get last string from array
3. Convert to lowercase
4. Perform exact string compare against target domain

It's possible that there's some window for obscure unicode hijinks, but I'd posit that a regexp parser or a "proper" email parsing library is just as at-risk. Possibly more so as those would be significantly more complicated and involve significantly more code.
This is true for any management role: protect those under you from the ridiculousness coming from above.

Filter out the crazy (which can be the entirety) and then pass down to the team the best way you can figure to move things forward.

I managed to do this for a while. It's hard on the ol' mental health though.
Your first point is exactly true. We design concepts with certain goals in mind, then that gets cut down into something that takes one or two sprints of work "to see the results", which never come because it does not even cover mvp use cases. Then the rest never gets built.

Absolutely lack in long-term thinking, goals and vision.

Fair, although SMB has had a few noteworthy ones recently. And lets not forget log4j
And for every story like this, where developers can't do things they know they need to because all decisions are top-down . . . I say unionize. Management needs to know that IC devs are a force to be reckoned with and not code-bots. And then use the union to get contracts that allow devs more control over decision-making.

We don't need unions for better wages. What we're often missing is respect, dignity. (Yes, sorta like sex workers.)
Even if the metaverse looked good, which is doesn't, the entire development is a waste of time, resources, and human talent. The idea of extracting money from individuals for goods which don't exist or provide utility, is appalling. If the metaverse ultimately becomes popular and revenue-generating, it will be a sad day for humanity.
I have AirPods Pro's and they are very disappointing. My pair of $500 hearing aids are far superior. The AirPods provide no gain for external sound, and not nearly enough equalization to compensate for hearing loss. The "beam forming" effect is nearly non-existent. I have a pair of Bose Hearphones (sadly no longer sold), and those really had effective directional capability.

Apple has all the tech needed to get this done, even in their existing product. I'm hopeful they will now feel they can release it. All I need is compression (amplification of soft sounds without over-amplification of loud sounds), equalization, and an app that allows me to make the necessary adjustments - with separate controls for exterior sound and the iOS audio chain.

Well, some people have much stronger feelings about the candy than I do (https://freetheegg.wordpress.com/2011/04/27/cpsc-responds-to...) although for what it's worth their change.org petition went nowhere. I have enjoyed a few Kinder Eggs though and thought the toys were way better compared what you'd find in cracker jack boxes these days.

Considering billions of people outside of the US have very few problems surviving Kinder Egg, I'd like to think a sensible compromise could be reached to allow them here, but I'd agree that there are larger problems with US food safety going unaddressed which would have a bigger impact.
Python has excellent support for dependency injection and monkeypatching these days.

It has an entire arsenal of pre-made decorators.

I've found Python's original paradigm, "create deep, object oriented libraries, and have users write procedural/functional scripts in production," to be absolutely excellent.

These days though, the world's most popular programming language has been extended, and not in a bad way.

You can do just about anything in it, and it'll be a really good experience (and extremely slow code...).
One needs to be careful when analyzing safety. NHSTA and similar orgs abroad have conditioned people to only think of safety as the chances of survival in a collision but if you were to look at the actual traffic fatalities [1] you could easily find that some cars with higher fatality stats have also a higher "safety star" rating and vice versa. Likewise, some heavy trucks score higher fatalities than lighter cars. It might be that some cars are better at avoiding collisions than the others.

Running waterfall on a two week cadence burns out engineers by forbidding them from doing any work with a timeline greater than one week.

After all, half a week is burned, minimum, at the beginning and end of the sprint on process paperwork and screaming at disconnected Zoom windows.

Next sprint, their week of work is frequently reverted or irreparably hacked to meet an arbitrary deadline.

Also, the product sucks, but management metrics ensure people that focus on shuffling the titanic deck chairs instead of fixing it get promoted.

If a group of engineers puts in a heroic two month effort to save the project, their metrics tank, and they end up reporting to the first group until their options run out or they are laid off.

Regardless if it's the police brushing me off over a theft, or Uvalde... it all leads to one place: the public's eroding trust in the police.

They're really not there to protect and serve. That was a LAPD marketing motto that a ton of other police departments adopted over the years for optics. The police actually have no such legal duty, and this has been upheld in court multiple times.

I am 100% on your side, but in good faith we cannot expect the police to serve us. Your "first/two" analogy is moot I'm afraid.

Our daily "15-minute" stand ups regularly tip over to 30+ minutes. This should be a sign that the team needs to be split up, as more than half of the stand-up is discussion of topics that are totally unrelated to my context.

It stops my momentum, annoys me, which ruins my motivation.
Waterfall - the mythical process that if ever existed it was 30 years ago, but we bring it up when we want to make our 30 years old process sound hip. And when we don't want to say agile both often massive sux and also is the normal way of doing things for decades.
I've seen this process of replacing an "off-the-shelf binary" with a "custom binary that uses an off-the-shelf library".
