I'm amazed at how much "content" people will devour inside their fandoms these days. Whether it's Marvel, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, etc... seems like people will watch like 15 movies of content and happily lap up more. I don't have the time for too much content these days with several young children but when I do get more time I hope there's more interesting stuff to watch.

Economies, like rockets for people, are not good when traveling too fast (turn you in to chunky salsa) or too slow, crash into the ocean. The west threw tons of people out of work and their actions shuttered too much of the engine of the economy previously thought to be small business. Those people sometimes did the unthinkable. Economic power does affect health. Sudden loss of employment means no way to pay for routine health care and essential medicines. People simply waiting to see how the new forbidden to talk about here in a negative way, "medicine" of the pandemic, were denied surgery, and even organ transplants. And some that did take it died for "some reason" anyway did so at rates far greater than they should have. The medicine makers tried to keep the real statistics from the public eye for 70 years. Apparently federal judges had other ideas. News coming in from the UK shows what is really happening. I can't tell you to go into a time machine and convince yourself to not to do something that most people did.

The death rate is increasing exponentially month over month according to the UK report which I analyzed myself. The prime minister resigned just hours after releasing it.

I'm kind of tired of TV clown shows and puppet shows training my family and friends to demonize me concerning my decision NOT to do something which obviously doesn't work anyway.

But I stood my ground and forgave my family who was simply programmed like Pavlov's dogs over it.

I learned programming before I learned algebra, and it made algebra seem like an old fashioned and slow waste of time. I could solve the same problems more quickly and naturally by writing a short program.

That put me off math for a long time. In retrospect I wish I had stuck with it to get to the more interesting parts. In the end though, having not done that, I’m not really sure that math and programming are interchangeable skills as some here are asserting.
Oh geez. I think you are conflating disagreement with gaslighting. The simplest definition is trying to make someone question their own reality, often for malevolent ends. A debate, what this actually is, is about trying to convince someone of your point of view not distort the other's reality. A debate certainly could be used to gaslight, but gaslighting is a set of behaviors. A debate alone is not gaslighting. Disagreement is not gaslighting. Trying to convince another of your point of view is not gaslighting. Using debate tactics like personal attacks and word definitions is not gaslighting. Painting a broad brush and casting everyone that disagrees with your position "gaslighting", like you did in your very first response, is also not gaslighting. It is lazy, wrong, annoying but still not gaslighting. At least none of those things are gaslighting in isolation.

In other words, we disagree on the "facts". If you want to call that gaslighting, okay but then you are gaslighting me too (or trying). For the record, I don't think you are gaslighting. I do think I have offended you deeply which wasn't my intention so I apologize if I have.

My anecdotal experience as a teacher of the impact of programming on undergraduate mathematics is also negative. If students are allowed to solve integrals or differential equations using equation solvers, they go all in on using them to mindlessly get to the correct answer without trying to intuit the patterns that result in the solution.

Eg. I observed that students who took a computer-aided Linear algebra course had almost no true understanding of where numbers go in matrix multiplication. Like the fact that for matrix A, and vector x = (0,..0,1,0,..0), where 1 is in the i-th position, the operation Ax picks out the i-th column of A. They had to compute this every time.

The important caveat that is that in many jurisdictions, there’s a significant difference in the tax treatment of contractors vs. employees, and so by producing such a contract (that forbids subcontracting) you are plausibly creating an employment arrangement and are on the hook for tax consequences.

Here in the UK, for example, if you wrote such a contract, it would be enforceable… but you would be considered (by the tax authority) to be trying to evade employment taxes, and hit with something starting in the range of a low 5-figure financial consequence (assuming the contract was a few months at current average rate for tech workers).

All of my contracts explicitly allow subcontracting in order to comply with tax law.
Your domain alone is going to cost about half that, and much more for fancy domains.

If anything, programming helps someone appreciate math more, which in turn gives additional motivation to learn. For some people, it's not fun to learn math and only be able to apply it on paper. Some of my earliest Visual Basic programs were a quadratic equation solver, a Fahrenheit/Celsius converter, and something that drew a guitar fretboard.

Another benefit is that getting programs to work made me more systematic with my math and pay attention to all the variables/equations required to solve something. I've had colleagues who would derive something and share their formulas, not realizing there are missing things, because they haven't tested it in code.

I'm curious, you folks probably make money off of fraud right? You probably have negotiated whatever dispute fee you pay processors directly well below the $15 you pass on to sellers, pocketing the difference.

So I'm guessing that Radar's price was set with this in mind, you ran the regression to set a price to ensure revenue does not decrease by having better fraud detection. Hence the super expensive price. If this wasn't the case, Radar probably would be free.

Probably creates a really bizarre incentive. You don't want to deal with obvious scams that hurt processing reputation, but you probably also want to make your built in fraud detection just crappy enough to ensure you capitalize on that revenue.

> The men left their impoverished homes years ago full of hope and headed to neighboring Thailand, promising to send money back from good-paying jobs. Instead, they were tricked, sold or even kidnapped and put onto boats that became floating prisons. They then were trafficked thousands of miles away to the isolated Indonesian island village of Benjina, where the AP first found hundreds of captive fishermen, including some locked in a cage simply because they asked to go home. They were beaten and routinely forced to work up to 22 hours a day. The unluckiest ones ended up in the sea or buried in a company graveyard under fake names — their bodies will likely never be recovered.

New: Streams are append only, but I push eta tasks onto the front of a queue when their time is ready to run. Looks like streams could work and might even be better suited instead of lists, but I would have to figure out some way to run eta tasks before other pending tasks in a queue.

Old when I confused streams with pubsub: Streams aren't durable... a worker goes offline for a second and all of a sudden you lost all your pending tasks. Redis lists are durable, so you can add tasks first then boot up a worker later and the worker will process those waiting tasks. With streams, the worker wouldn't see any pending tasks when it boots.

> Tracking output metrics (including LOC, # of PRs, velocity points) doesn't help you identify or fix poor tooling, culture, or processes.

So what? The question isn't "what helps you fix everything?"

The question is "how useful is velocity?"...without qualification as how you quantified the values. Looking deeper, the question naturally progresses to "what is the most useful metric?" or even "what is a useful metric?" in determining performance (a scary thought experiment for most developers).

Narrowing the scope of the analysis is a necessary step in determining value. Let's dispense with the gaming numbers strawmen and refactoring and testing rigor etc etc.

Theoretically, if it's you (alone) on a project and you have no other external signals about how well features are valued, what singular value, over time, would you look at and judge your progress historically? This is the closest you can get to an abstract vision of (personal) performance on a project divested from all other concerns. I can always look at my LoC.
Kanban is an alternative to sprints, ...

Agreed.

... for contexts in which the team is persistent across projects
and it makes sense to let them manage their work apart from the

Here I disagree only in applicability. Kanban can be successfully used in a single development project if the team maintains prioritized tasks based on risk and/or dependencies. To wit, a development team with sufficient maturity can identify and plan their work, address same in the requisite order, and have confidence that the probability of success will increase as each task is completed.

Velocity is important but I think it's an orthogonal concept to quantifying useful output. In my mind, velocity is how quickly developers are able to unblock themselves and overcome obstacles. It's very possible that people can have extremely high velocity working on pointless stuff but that's not what velocity is meant to track anyway.
