This. The people paying for a project want to know how long it will take, how much it will cost, and what the feature set is going to be. This is of course not reliably possible, so we end up with an elaborate back and forth that tries to re-impose waterfall whatever the label on the process is.

Similarly, "Individuals and Interactions over Processes and Tools" is really difficult for an organisation to cope with. Everything else in corporate land is about de-personalising and standardising the actions of workers as much as possible, so that they're interchangeable. See manufacturing lines, fast food production, call centres. "Cattle not pets", but for humans rather than servers. Once you start caring about and adapting the work process to individuals, they're not replaceable.

On the other hand, there's comfort in having a bad process. Because then you don't have to blame and confront individuals as people, just over whether they've followed the process.
Kiwifarms also serves a weird specific role. Many of the people people discussed there do propagate harmful things. Like normalizing cutting, starving, violence and much more.

There is no control instance for things like this. Normalizing harmful things ok YouTube in front of children is not cool, we all know YouTube barely cares either.

For a concrete example look into Chris Chan and how Kiwifarms was literally the only instance out there protecting Chris from way more evil groups.

My point is even if Kiwifarms is a hateful environment, I think they serve a purpose in our society.
I will be a "crybully":

- Cloudflare provides a service

- some "unsavory" people buy this service

- Cloudflare decides that they do not want to provide this service anymore so they terminate it.

The specifics of how exactly they terminated this service are really unsubstantial to the question of censorship. You might be right for kiwifarm to have a case here,

They did not terminate them for "being" a particular way, they terminated them for "doing" a particular thing. In other words, they were not judged for the color if their skin, but for the content of their character.

If anything, cloudflare should do this more often - they protect way too many people and gargabe contentewho do not and which does not deserve this kind of protection.

If people want to be an asshole on the internet - or in real life - that is their perogative, but they cannot reasonable expect to have the enthusiatic support of society in doing so.

The way you are wrong comes up here:

"Surely, we will see many more websites go down"

These sites all chose to use cloudflare - not the other way around. cloudflare has zero control over these sites. If cloudflare stops to provide them with their service, they can just move somewhere else. cloudflare is not the internet, they just take themselves way to seriously. What they have built is not unique, it is just very large. They are not preventing kiwifarm from expressing themselves in any way shape or form. If kiwifarm wants DDOS protection, they can find a different DDOS protection service, and if they find out they are so despised that noone will take them, then they can make their own DDOS protection service. They aren't owed a platform for their shitty views. Just like I am not owed one for my arguably much less shitty views.

I would go as far as saying that beyond the allocation of IP address space and to a certain extent domain names - nobody is owed anything to participate on the internet. These are the building blocks. Go build things with them,

And if you have built them and someone ask you to share these things you have built, but then decides to use them to do shitty things, just tell them

"Hey this doesn't work for me, if you wanna say these things, please do so from your own space."

That is not censorship.

I've been working in the field - and for VW specifically - for the past couple of years and am constantly amazed by how far they are actually behind in terms of software and overall technical infrastructure.

Especially germans are too stuck in their industrial past - we don't really understand the value and leverage of software for business cases.

The car industry is built upon great designers and engineers, outsourcing the actual production of parts to other entities - they're not really used to building anything on their own, they just assemble things. I've written about this here [1].

While this way of thinking isn't limited to automakers, they're the ones that will suffer the most from it in the future. True innovation has been lost to the industry decades ago and is additionally blocked by holding on to the status quo instead of experimenting with and developing new things.

I believe this stems from the fact that most of our big businesses are run by MBAs with no real understanding for trends and even less for the speed at which the world moves forward in terms of technology.

Diess himself at least tried to push something forward others have neglected since the 90s. Not sure how Blume will approach this, but since he's grown inside the VW bubble for almost 30 years I would not assume that he can drive any kind of real innovation forward.

Someone once said to me "the advantage of a team of one is that there's only one clique and everyone's in it". I think about that from time to time 20 years on.
> In addition to linguistic precision, the parameters involved in prompt composition, for a perfectly controlled artistic result, require technical knowledge, a sense of style and historical knowledge.

You are assuming that the models themselves respond accurately to linguistic clues. Actually they embody the cloud of random noise, prejudices, innacuracies and misconceptions in the training data and then pile on a big layer of extra noise by virtue of their stochastic nature.

So this isn't a case of the learned academic with extensive domain knowledge steering a precision machine. It's more like a someone poking a huge chaotic furnace with a stick and seeing what comes out.

That is .. not a reliable description of the outcomes for management consultants, who can inflict spectacular disasters sometimes and still come out ahead. Largely because they deliver the right magic ritual.
I loved this article.

Countless times I had to estimate Jira "tickets" (actually called issues in Jira terminology) in hours. To this day, I fail to understand why and I haven't gotten a pertinent answer other than "the business needs it for planning, they're paying us, so you do it."

Yet this contradicts at least 2 Agile Manifesto pillars:

1. People and interactions over processes and tools (fostering the estimation ceremony + booking time rather than actual interaction or developer happiness).

2. Reacting to change over following a plan (plan-the-work and work-the-plan over reacting to change).

How do you even "do" estimates?! Clean Agile (ISBN-13: 978-0135781869) says "Estimates are never commitments. They are guesses."

So it seems the business is trying to get a commitment out of an estimation, at hour granularity.

What are your thoughts here?
The sea level rise is not simply because of the addition of glacial meltwater but is apparently because the weight of the glaciers in the north pressed down on the land (which is essentially floating on magma underneath), tilting it towards the north and raising the southern part. When the glaciers melted, the weight was removed and the land is settling back (the north is raising and the south is lowering, like a see saw)
Hostage situations happen all over the world.

> In particular for Korea: Hangul [0], which is a "simpler" language

It's not a language, it's an alphabet. And I fail to see the need for quotes, there's really no denying hangul is simpler than hanja.

However the syllabic structure of hangul would still make it a lot more challenging printing than the linear structure of the latin alphabetic script: you'd need either a type piece per syllable (of which there are >10000), or you'd need a variant for each possible block layout.

There are 9 possible layouts, though there are limitations which cuts down on the complexity of that option. But still, assuming you want fixed-size blocks and depending on your decisions on complex finals you'd need 6-9 variants of each initial, and 2-3 version of each final.

If you're fine with variable-size blocks (and spacers to line things up) then you can probably cut down to 3 or even 2 of each initials, but it's not going to look great.
> conflating movable type with printing press is a big mistake for this type of analysis,

Innovation on the movable types was a key part of Gutenbergs system and creating the movable metal types was an inseparable part of the Gutenberg innovation. The article mentions a bit more than my short summary too.

I think the mistake actually is to separate them in your analysis of the analysis. To get a working product Gutenberg created an integrated package with both.

It specifically mentions the innovations in creating the movable metal types themselves under "Advantages of Gutenberg's Printing Technique". A much better metal alloy and a hand mold, allowing for much faster creation of new metal types than the Chinese alloy and technique.

> Kanji is the script.

Kanji is part of the Japanese writing system, it's not the entire thing. "Translated to Japanese kanji" is like saying "translated to English consonants".

> Kanji characters were printed significantly larger than ASCII, so that accounted for a lot of it.

Japanese books also have a lot more whitespace and are generally smaller than western books. I disagree that the font is much larger -- the books I read have a font size that is practically identical to most western books (the difference is that CJK characters are more boxy and so they may appear larger).

> ASCII can have a pretty small font and still be perfectly legible - apparently not so with Kanji.

You can print kanji pretty small and have it still them be legible to native speakers (just look at the first video games that used kanji instead of just using kana -- the effective font size is tiny).

I have been involved in several comparisons of German to US universities. The good German ones are ahead of most/all US ones in terms of several academic measures.

> which is pretty well suited to radix sort

Yes, the general approach is to convert the input data into a fixed-length bit-string with the same sort order as the input.

Your example assumes that construction overhead is short. If tie-breaking is rare, and breaking the tie requires an expensive operation, then the trade-off point for radix might be much higher than 100 elements.

The fixed-length requirement works well for small items with relatively equal-length fields. Ragged items, like Wikipedia titles, causes a problem. There is one title which is 253 bytes long. Now, Wikipedia titles are limited to 255 bytes, so radix is certainly directly applicable, but 1) it changes the trade-off point, and 2) reduces cache effects.

Finally, it requires a sort-order-preserving transformation. I mentioned case-insensitive collation of Unicode strings as a well-known difficult problem. I do not believe there is mapping to an order-preserving representation which can be done bitwise. At the very least, it will be difficult to support all of the collation styles that currently exist (eg, French collation is different than Dutch).
To be fair the far majority of threads on Kiwifarms did not call to act at all. I am no regular visitor but so far I never saw someone calling for violence or anything. Rather the opposite was a common message along 'enjoy the content but don't interact with them'
The hardest thing these days is trying to think of names. Taking a concept and reducing it to one or two words that explain what it does, because to have a name that doesn't quite describe it, just, feels wrong.

Cheerio sandbox to quickly test your selectors
For me, it is always a pain to write and test cheerio code unless I was doing it on the previous week. The syntax of cheerio is somewhat similar to jQuery, but this is still node.js, and not "real" DOM.

I was suffering every time I was googling for "Cheerio quick examples", so I have built a cheerio sandbox to quickly test cheerio syntax against various test inputs. This is already helpful for myself and saves me up to 15-30 minutes on every simple scraper I am writing, I think, just because I have working selectors samples at hand and I can quickly test my new selectors.

Gossip is pretty tough to get a read on though. What one person might read as extremely overbearing might not be a problem to another student who is very driven and less sensitive. I've seen some real awful people who shouldn't be inflicted on anyone first-hand, but I've seen some that are a bit misunderstood because they're maybe a little brusque and aren't good advisors for everyone, but can be great mentors to the right person.

Simple, more relatable example: the professor whose class gets very bimodal reviews--amazing, learn a lot, or unfair, too hard, etc.

So these things are subjective and I worry in this climate doing things reputationally isn't the right approach. I prefer subordinates be empowered to push back against PIs and switch, at least have a level of freedom more similar to a regular job market where if someone is too awful, at least they won't be able to keep students and post-docs. I don't know how to accomplish this though, it's a very hard problem.
>Agile wasn't meant for project management but instead as as a tool to organize work in development teams and respond to situation arising in such landscape.

I wouldn't describe it as such. Such descriptions are how managers got the idea they can put development teams into their bubbles while restricting their access to assets required, demanding they go through multiple layers of management to get simple things done. Ideally, you don't just have a response, but the power to change things more efficiently.

Case in point: devops, CICD. Most teams would benefit from having their own CICD. Many companies silo a separate "devops" team and multiple development teams, while pipelining the demands of dev teams from manager to manager. "Devops" team gets swarmed by status pings every day, development teams are annoyed because trivial things don't get solved, management gets annoyed because "why is it taking so long?". And the team could easily teach someone the basics and get their test environment running.

Of course, above scenario requires management gives the power to change things to more people. Management in general thrives on lack of trust, so that's a no-no. "We love agile!", they say. Yes, when the teams get nicely silo'd and somehow become "more predictable", but are still as powerless as before.
> If you don't believe individuals have a right to be born,

I didn't say I believe it or not. This isn't going to be some gotcha about my beliefs, I was explaining to the OP why this kind of thing is controversial.

> what is wrong with a state eugenics program, as long as it is not coercive or manipulative (that is, as long as it is done with the free consent of the parents)?

Well coercive or manipulative are not black-and-white, and there is concern that the line is over stepped. But leaving that aside, I go back to my first post.

Would you have any concerns with a government eugenics program to eliminate trans people from society using genetic screening and abortion counseling informing expectant parents about the horrible disadvantage, discrimination, and horrific physical and mental suffering that they go through at extremely high rates, and assuring them that abortions are a good treatment?

You skipped the question really. It's not where exactly you draw the line with disadvantage and difficulty, and it's not about an individual making their own personal choices. I'm asking about a government eugenics program with such a goal.

Well I don't want this to be a gotcha about your beliefs either, so I don't really need you to answer, the question is more to get people thinking about why the whole issue is not as simple as it seems.
Unicode is primarily concerned with standardizing existing characters in the majority of the language systems of the world. The big exception are emojis and a small number of usefull icons, the power button icon comes to mind. Its story of addition to unicoe was shared on Hacker News some years ago. As far as I know the only area of invention and growth are emojis.
In the US, a restraining order issued by a court is merely a suggestion; police can simply ignore it without consequence, even if there is a law on the books that requires police to enforce it.

I spend the majority of my career in SCM, not software development. Your comment is absolutely true in my opinion. A good line manager knows what's going on, any KPIs or dashboards just make it easier for a manager to know.
