>Andreessen isn't telling other communities what to do.

"It's Time to Build" is literally Andreessen telling us what he thinks that we - the United States as a broader community - need to be doing as we move towards the future.

>'It's Time To Build' is not about 'building buildings', for gosh sake's, it's about building companies, innovating, organizing ourselves better and 'doing stuff'. Not 'building homes' in Los Angeles.

It's about all of that and building homes. As a matter of fact, it's actually a pretty well-rounded piece. An excerpt:

>You see it in housing and the physical footprint of our cities. We can’t build nearly enough housing in our cities with surging economic potential — which results in crazily skyrocketing housing prices in places like San Francisco, making it nearly impossible for regular people to move in and take the jobs of the future.

I'm struggling to square away how lamenting our inability to "build nearly enough housing" is "not about 'building buildings'".

>You can 'fuck off' with your 'fucking off' language, this isn't the place for uninformed mob rage.

Again at the risk of not having a typically-constructive HN conversation, there are 61 up votes for my comment and yours was decently downvoted. It's safe to say that more people disagree with you here, or - and I think this is more likely - that they at least understand my point better than you do. You see...

>People have their quiet neighbourhoods and want to keep them that, it's not really any of your business.

... I have never actually said that it is my business. In my first post, I only told a gigantically wealthy person off for whining in caps lock about losing an amount of money that will have next-to-no impact to their massive net worth. You then responded to me telling me that I don't get to tell Atherton residents how to determine what happens in their municipality.

I responded, clarified that I know that, and further clarified that I was only telling a gigantically wealthy person off for the same reason I mentioned just above and in every previous post of mine in this chain. Yet you are again telling me that "it's not really any of [my] business" what Atherton residents want. Stop putting words in my mouth!

Again - let them do what they want with their community. But Marc Andreessen absolutely can still fuck off for that comment.
So like I am sad however you never know how far you are to something taking off so you have to persist odds are that people won't hear about that cool thing your building for a long time like multiple years. Before than it's really hard to gage how popular your tool or thing will be.

There is also something to getting you software to a level where you show it to others (the sooner the better). If you don't showcase your stuff odds are people won't find it.
Stage0 – A set of minimal dependency bootstrap binaries
I mean, yes, thats literally what it is. Hilariously we attribute waterfall from Royce[0] in which he visually shows a waterfall like process, only to describe it as an iterative process (and essentially agile scrum).

> still makes projects late.

But under the concepts of the agile manifesto there is no concept as "late" so I'm not sure why the author refers to a project as being late. The whole point of an agile process is to be able to iterate quickly. 2 weeks is a generally accepted timeframe in which you can revert attention if what you develop is incorrect. So whats the gripe?

Nice network. But Dartmouth BASIC was a primitive language that encouraged unmaintainable spaghetti code. (This was not too bad, if the programs were twenty lines long, I guess.)
Of course it depends who you ask. Hypothetically, China could tomorrow claim ownership of Japan, and then the answer to the question of Japanese sovereignty would also "depend on who you ask."
Guix has been the only distro I run on my PC and Laptop for some time now, and will be what I depoy on my home server when I eventually get it back up and running (really looking forward to learning services and containerization inside and out). The ease of access to the source tree, the freedom and hackability, all come together to enable my habit of getting in over my head. I've got some patches languishing that I've been meaning to come back to, and this post reassures and inspires me. Thanks for putting your thoughts out there.
I implement this program since flock(1) in Linux doesn't support timeout of pending.

I've never used BSD. After reading the link provided by you, I think my program becomes no value, if there is a Linux version of lockf(1). Sad.
That manual skips over the reasoning too:

> This is called the single-entry method of accounting. But we’re not going to do it this way;

Why? So you have a graph now, what does that allow you to solve? What issues will you hit with single-entry (maybe with tags)?

I _think_ the simple answer is that if you have multiple accounts, any transaction moving money between them needs to decrease one if you increase another or else you'll magically gain/lose money in your records. Then if you use it to answer something like "do I have enough money to buy X" you'll get an incorrect answer. It doesn't seem to be a suggestion/improvement/technique and more of a mathematical reality for this model.

The double entry requirement for money entering/exiting the system (salary, sales, payments) doesn't seem to matter for that though.

Tiles and now, AirTags are an exciting thing. They are tiny, light, cheap, and work almost all the time. The best part is that the battery footprint is small enough not to worry when dropping it anywhere. I had tiles before, but unfortunately, they do not work so well in India. AirTags works pretty well.

Like other comments, I bought a bunch when they were released and have them in all bags/suitcases, kids' school bags, and of course, keys. I've never lost a wallet or keys; heck, wake me up from a slumber, and I will tell you exactly where a particular key or an object in our home should be. But I love these things -- tiny trackers, phone calls on your Apple Watch -- growing up with Star Trek in the 80s/90s will do that.

Fun anecdote: right now, I have tagged my father-in-law with an AirTag while he is in town for his medical check-up. He is notorious for just taking off trying to find an audience to speak with, ever since the family barred him from accepting speaking invitations to conferences. Recently, we tracked him talking to a bunch of Bangladeshis at a hospital about why they should learn the basics of English.
Nish from Nimbus here.

The cost of a laptop is a factor but its a drop in the bucket relative to the cost of an engineer. A $4k machine over 2 years on an engineer that has a fully loaded cost of over $200k/yr is only 1% of the total cost - not huge.

The real win is in helping engineers do more while saving time. This has huge impacts on the dev experience, productivity and general happiness in a role where many experience burnout.

But to answer more plainly, in some cases it will replace laptops (e.g. some companies ship laptops to their contractors to keep their code and data secure. They wont have to anymore). In other cases, teams save money on laptops (through lower spec'd machines with a longer lifespan).
> After all, you'd see just as well if your brain was in your stomach as long as it's connected to your eyes.

Assuming the brain and stomach both need mutually exclusive physical space, let's swap the two and see what happens.

If the stomach is in the head rather than where it is now then it is right by the mouth, so food need to travel less. So it might be a first order solution to optimal spatial layout of the body components. Except, now there isn't enough time for the food to be digested so you have to move the stomach further away...

Nearsightedness (myopia) and farsightedness (hyperopia) are both not OTC, presbyopia is. However, the correction for presbyopia (+ lenses) is the same as for farsightedness, provided you don’t have a lot of astigmatism. I won’t explain the intricacies here, but you can look up how accommodation works using the terms above.

Sealos – run Kubernetes cluster in one command
I would say the benefit of hooks and function based components is simplicity and ease-of-creation. Less boilerplate, less chance to mess up the life cycle of a component, especially for the vast majority of components that end up being pretty simple anyway.
The fraud protection aspect is spot on, but I think most people are not risky buyers. Like most of my purchases happen on Amazon or other high trust merchants. I have never ever raised a dispute and the only time I did it was when I accidentally bought a powerball ticket online with recurring option. So for most single time purchases, the fraud protection on a CC is an overkill IMO.

The recurring option, yes I wouldn't give out a bank account or a debit card for recurring payments even with high trust SaaS merchants, even if they accepted one ( most don't ).

With Agile, I find more ceremonies than actually work - Planning, estimations, Re-Planning, Cross Prioritization, Retro, Ticket Updates, Blockers, Blah, blah...
In one company that proclaimed to do “agile”, our release was suddenly halted by the business, because they came up with some new requirements. These were regulatory requirements they of course long knew about, but only now decided to throw at us, because “agile” and it’s an ongoing product. All good and well, except that they now demanded the product to be released within two weeks, because that’s when the marketing campaign went live.

Of course, our PM and scrum master, just went along and put us all into a room, to estimate and figure out how we could deliver. All our estimates were proclaimed wrong, and we had to estimate again, eventually devs just gave a number to make it fit within the two weeks.

Needless to stay, the product did not launch, and the developers got blamed for not being flexible enough. That’s how agile works in big companies, use agile as a term for everything wen it fits, use it as a way to blame others.
Scrum masters are just there to pass along communication from the business, and absorb complains from developers. It’s just another one-way street of communication.
As state before, China is already assembling lots of parts from other Asian countries. Additionally, iPhones are made in special export zones (SEZs), so the parts along with the machinery used to produce an iPhone are all imported without tariff (and even the company doing this is Taiwanese, which embodies a lot of the higher level hardware/production engineering that easily transfers to Vietnam). Consequently, iPhones have to be re-imported into China before they can be sold to Chinese consumers, incurring tariffs at that point. I assume Vietnam has something similar set up.

Oh, after carefully check the man page of flock(1) in Linux, it supports timeout. So the last value of this program disappears. Please ignore my ignorance and disturbance. I wish I could delete the post but there is no way to do it.
> And I hope that will continue, though things look bleak in that regard.

I suspect you hope that continues because it benefits you and your agenda. Not because it's what's best for a country.

If you don't understand basic science like carrying capacity of an area and stable population density...and how population's expand and contract to meet that stable density...if left without interference...then yeah, you're not going to understand my point.

I suspect you have an agenda so it's not a productive conversation.

I like Zelle, but this is not comparable to the system I've used in the UK.

- Limits how much you can send

- Identity is based on email or phone number (what?!) that then needs to be managed/tied to the bank account. If you switch banks or whatever, you need to re-active with the new bank.

- For awhile, I could only associated one email with one account in Chase (despite having 4 checking accounts for business, etc.)

- Recipient also needs a Zelle account setup.

UK system is simple: give me your sort code + account #. Done.
I think one of the main reasons for wagile is that software development is often seen as capital expenditure rather than operational expenditure (or R&D, although companies love saying it's all R&D to the tax dept). CapEx assumes a fixed(ish) upfront cost and then an ongoing maintenance cost afterwards - which means that you need to be able to estimate the upfront expenditure.

In reality, software development doesn't fit neatly into this model. It's part R&D, part operational expense and part capital expense all at once (even in maintenance phase) - but it's impossible to distinguish which parts are which. The resulting product's value is constantly in flux, which means it is difficult to plan depreciation like a traditional asset.

Agile will always fail unless the way software is accounted for changes too, because the people at the top are looking at budget spreadsheets, not JIRA boards/burndown charts.

Even 10-15 years ago I was at a small Thoughtworks event where Martin Fowler was speaking and back then he was using the term “Water-Scrum-Fall” saying most Agile projects he’s seen are waterfall projects wrapped in to two week sprints. At the time Agile/Scrum didn’t have the popularity and only just gaining traction at larger companies.

Today everywhere I work is now “Agile”, doing scrum or similar. It’s all lip service, it’s just another process and ceremonies over the actual spirit and ethos of the original manifesto.

The teams I’ve worked on who didn’t practice agile where actually the most “agile” in the spirit of the manifesto. The teams that did agile, by the book, with the ceremonies and all, dogmatically, doubling down on it, where the least agile in the spirit of the manifesto and not that productive or creative, often micromanaging every tiny detail in a Jira ticket.

How does it make sure something hasn't been double counted? I assume you mean this situation:

1. Debit for X added
2. Credit for X added
3. Debit for X added again

Then you'll get a discrepancy when you sum them.

In a computerized system though you wouldn't make that mistake though, or else you could make it with double entry accounting too (just, you'll have double credit entries as well).

The only way to prevent duplicates is to associate upstream payment/transaction ids with records and make sure every entry is unique (which can be done for single entry accounting too).
Do Antidepressants Work? (2018)
All this really means is either

- You can only ever work on projects which are finished in one sprint.

- You have no idea how, when, or even why the big initiative you're working on will finish.

It's not practical to build a business this way, what happens when one team pulls priority and a different one next week? what happens when a multi-sprint project becomes a multi-year forever project?

You can get around this if someone (such as a manager/PM/lead) converts the sprint process back to a practical roadmap/design. However not involving the sprint team in this process merely robs them of autonomy. At best, the absence of autonomy for an individual in a scrum team might be the point of the whole process.

There are two issues with this way of thinking.

First, if police don't try to track down all theft, then there is going to be favoritism. Hope you contributed to the ball!

Two, If there is no meaningful way to attain redress, you invite vigilantism.

Side note: My concern (that is hopefully untrue and insane) is that, with demonstrations of police impotence (ie: Uvalde) and politicians talking about the recent raid, there is going to be more people who will take the law into their own hands.
I don't know if I agree with every sentence in TFA, but this is obviously true:

I think everyone here will agree this will happen. Again, and again, and again.

Not op - answering personally.

The moment you have an audience for something it significantly changes the experience. Doesn't matter if it's music, development, cooking... if other humans are involved on the receiving end it makes it different.

For a lot of us, we're very protective of our creative endeavors. And, lots of the time the journey we're taking is one of vulnerability (learning, creatively extending ourselves, taking risks).

Then there's the criticism and critique. People can objectively be pretty awful. It doesn't matter if it's making my own software tooling, or a song, or fleshing out a new idea... I just don't want to hear anyone's opinion - I want to focus on being productive in what I'm doing. I've often found that isolating is way more productive than trying to ship to an audience. If I need other people I don't pull them in as an audience, I pull them in as an advisor and/or teacher: contracting out a code review, or going to guitar lessons.

If/when this stuff I created dies with me that's OK. I'm a fart in the wind anyway, and I don't care about silly things like "legacy" - I just need to create stuff to optimize and improve the world around me. And, sometimes I create stuff just because it feels good. It's a selfish endeavor sure, but I'd have it no other way.

I think it'll only work if the people paying for the product want an agile project.

And that they understand agile to mean the same thing as the engineers. That is to say to small deliverables within a short period. Review the small deliverable with client, make adjustments, then repeat until final product is done. Basically get things working a small piece at a time. Change directions if needed. Don't boil the ocean.

What usually happens is that the clients take "agile" to mean changes on-the-fly AND quick delivery of final product. They also usually prefer the waterfall deadlines, because then can line things up for Q2, Q3, etc.

I think a big reason for the disconnect is the word "agile".
> Quebec’s $303 billion pension manager has written off its stake in bankrupt cryptocurrency lender Celsius Network LLC, with its chief executive officer conceding the fund invested “too soon” in the sector.

Does that mean he plans to get back into crypto with everyone else’s money? I hope they’re at least clear about their modeling and strategy when dabbling in something as volatile and speculative as crypto. It may also eventually pit their pension managers against their government if the government wants to rein in crypto mania.
