>If Yeltsin hadn't been a drunk, it's possible that Russia would be more like the Poland of 2022 than the Russia of 2022.

At the end, Yeltsin was just the face of KGB/FSB regime, and later directly abdicated power to it's representative, who bombed buildings in Moscow to get elected.
I thought they do? I'm not really sure, but I think that capchas also collect info about your browser etc... as well as identifiing you with some kind of "challenge", or am I wrong?
This wraps inotifywait, so it doesn’t really address cross-platform needs.

The unique features in this over straight inotifywait is plugging together the command you want to execute, and some event dedupe logic. Grand majority of the code is around colorized logs, command docs, and some options handling code which mostly just gets piped to inotifywait.

The idea that countries always make rational and economical decisions is false.

The Iraq war wasn't 4D chess it was much worse: Americans really believed in it.
Which is ultimately also why they got their ass kicked: free elections were held and the Iraqis wanted the Americans out.
Instead of installing a puppet government what they got was Iraqi politicians with agency.
I really don't think we can call something "averted" if people can no longer actually afford to live.

> Would you be willing to pay, say, $4000 for a laptop where all the quality engineering was top notch?

Yes. This is also why I do exactly that. Thankfully there’s still one company making good laptops left, Apple.

Unfortunately, all the brands I used to buy from decided it was better to cut the cost by half by cutting the quality by 9/10s.
>Do as you preach, and others will follow.

It is still logically consistent to play the game as everyone else, but still advocate for changes to rules that affect everyone. For example, flying in private jets while also supporting laws/regulations/taxes that would make that amount of pollution per person per unit time unaffordable.
I'm not sure you understand what Cloudflare is. They have various protections for websites including ones you do not like.

They don't host attacks. They don't even offer a hosting service for that code to run on really. Those attacks come from botnets, mostly hacked IOT devices and servers across the web.
> sprints give more discretion to the teams

when they do. i was part of an 'agile' team in 2019 (6 mo contract). I wasn't there long enough to have strong views on work items or priorities, but did watch the interactions between others. It was a decently organized team inside a (fast) growing org - lots of challenges there. But overall, there was a decent balance.

Worked on another smaller team longer - 2 years. As the company grew, it got far more process heavy. The 'sprint' stuff was "as tech lead, you get 5 points to use however you want per sprint!" (yay?). that got taken over by the CTO getting involved and using those '5 points' for constant infrastructure stuff. I was reviewing code I delivered, and it was full of cut corners to continually hit deadlines. I begged on a few occasions for more 'cleanup' time. It was always denied (except for 3 days over xmas, because... literally no one else was working, so they couldn't say no).

The project transformed in to "here's our strategic goals for 2022" with every quarter mapped and filled to the brim with work. 0 time for anything but bare minimum MVP. The thinking was "well... you've been able to work at that pace before, and we added someone new, so we can increase that". In 2019, it was MVP - test the idea. Speed to market makes some sense. In 2022, millions of dollars and hundreds of lives affected each month... we need to take a bit more time to clean up existing code, retire legacy code, adopt a slower pace to focus on clarity, testability, even performance concerns etc. This seemed to fall on deaf ears.

"discretion to the teams" tends to ring hollow to me based on recent experiences, and ideally I'll work with another group in the future with a healthier balance.
Autocrats want to survive, yes. So if there’s an economic crisis, they like to distract people. Blaming minorities works as well a starting a war. Look up Idi Amin as an example par excellence!

The general doesn't matter here. The specifics of the relationship between a particular business and the accelerator are the only thing that matters.

But...getting into an accelerator is often just a form of playing house.

Customers/users/clients don't care about the resume.

They care about the product and price and things like that.

To cut distraction, consider your 'maybe' a 'no.'

Good luck.
> The powers that be can't actually handle agile in it's truest chaotic form.

I would argue the word phrase 'software development' should replace 'agile' in that sentence.

I liken it to boiling water. It's messy and chaotic. You'll eventually reach the goal, but until that happens you must be comfortable with a bit of chaos. Attempting to remove the chaos from software dev is like trying to tell mozart not to practice. You'll never get out of it what you think you will.

That's not the best level of analysis.
Everybody is pessimistic and optimistic at the same time in different perspectives that can be dialectically changed in regard to what you define as "progress".

Progress in terms of what agenda?

You have a lot of them, and many are conflicting ones with varying degrees of potential conciliation (dialogue is possible) and some fundamentally irreconciliable (dialogue broken in a culture war, cold civil war, cultic war, hyperwar [1]).

An exemplary attention-disruptor.
That is not accurate, as far as I understand. The opposite might even be the case.

From what I understand, the battery is damaged most when close to 0% or close to 100%.

So, if a phone could do, say, 1000 full cycles until the battery reaches a certain stage of degradation, and now you used an identical phone, but with shorter cycles only down to 20%, then charge to 80%, you could not only do 1000 of those short cycles, but even 1000/60% = 1667, and still have the battery in a better shape than the one with 1000 full cycles.

I am not certain about this, though.
1500 blitz?
I'm confused, do you mean besides for fun?
Maybe at this point the highest levels of competitive chess should just continue outright as programming challenges. It would perhaps be more interesting and open to anyone.
The likely reason it never caught on, is that the library has similar pitfalls to Backbone. The entire application and component lifecycle has to be coded explicitly:

- manually attaching DOM elements to view controllers

- manually attaching child views

- models which have to be wired individually via .listenTo

- models can be out of sync

- possibility of infinite loops if the events accidentally recurse

A better tiny alternative would be hyperapp[1] or even Preact, that has a similar bundle size.

Are you asking because you read dbingham as saying sprints were a requirement for that? I didn't interpret 'necessary' in there at all- but rather that method of organizing work tended to produce that type of result.
I think the author got the right answer, but checking their work, I'm not sure they got it the right way. Sprints are actually really simple. You know how you work on something for a year, and then Google I/O is coming up where you're going to show it off to 3 billion people, and it's not done, so you just say "ya know what, I don't even CARE about these features we said we'd have" and you launch whatever you happen to have checked in on launch day? That's sprints! Except with sprints you do this every two weeks instead of every year.
You can tell it's old because it is some derivative of "java".
i'm really curious about the UI performance. a very good way to get lower latency in my usually callback-driven code is to move to synchronous things as far as possible - every callback has a cost, and these costs really add up especially if you want as fast as a startup as is possible for your app. And every step in a coroutine in an event-driven system is pretty close conceptually to a callback, isn't it ?

The thought of him presiding over a major media platform throughout the 2024 election cycle makes me want to cry.
True, but metrics shouldn’t be downplayed given they are what boards/owners will be looking into when deciding to keep investing in a project or abort it - then both carts and horses become irrelevant.

It is somewhat utopian to think that companies paying for the development of whatever will patiently wait for (and fund) a team for months without any evidence of progress stronger than the promise of devs/managers that one day it will be delivered.
i am a junior developer and now i am rely heavily on them. esp, multi-threading stuff. but in most cases i know what i am looking for. the particular interface or at least i have some idea. this in true for most jdk framework. others java docs indirectly. ctrl + q.
but i do sometimes go back and search uses/example of some implementation i found via docs. eg. selector and channels...
but rn, i am liking reading docs first.
No, big oil has always opposed plastic recycling, because it reduces their sales of gas feedstock.

They have always pushed "blaming the consumer for trash", and disparaged "producer responsibility" and "plastic recycling" (except in blaming the consumer for not recycling, but that's just a variant of blaming them for trash).

It's weird to now see people pointing to the same organisations that opposed these things, and claiming they campaigned for them.

In countries/states with functional governments that aren't owned by fossil fuels, plastic recycling has happened as just one of a suite of measures and has always been successful. Every academic study of it has agreed it's the best thing for the economy and planet.

In others states, the ones that are in thrall to big oil, it didn't really happen, and then the people who don't want it to happen appear to have recently started claiming "hah, we (i.e. the big evil oil corps) wanted you to recycle, so now you shouldn't do it, that'll teach us".

This is the kind of reverse psychology that works really well on toddlers.

Hyperwar Is Coming
In the same way that few ReST implementations are truly ReSTful, few agile implementations are truly agile.

The Agile Manifesto came into style, then predictably a cottage industry of small companies grew up around it, with the business model of charging Fortune 500s huge amounts of money to train their Engineering departments. I've sat through such training before, and I can say without doubt that the day our company took "agile training" was the day we stopped being agile.

We overlaid an efficient process with a ton of bureaucratic busy work. We came out the other side of it with an army of PMs (read: Jira configuration experts). Engineers had less time to engineer, with constant flow-interrupting meetings where they became trapped in a morass of Gantt Charts, "deliverables" spreadsheets, etc.

We had many employees for whom English was a second language, and interestingly none of those I talked to realized that "agile" was an actual word, meaning "nimble, quick, dexterous." Nothing about the new process conveyed any of those qualities. It was basically classic waterfall, with stand-up meetings thrown in. Rigid project management methodology is definitionally opposed to agility.

Financial planning for freelancers and self-employed
Hello everyone, I'm part of a female-led fintech startup that is democratizing financial planning for freelancers & self-employed.

Same here, updated my framework laptop, rebooted to blinky screen, turned it off, did some research, loaded up a livecd to revert the kernel and then updated when 5.19.13 made it into arch. Thankfully just a pain in my butt not a dead lcd for me.
> Other parts are real indicators of what they’ll filter incoming applications by.

That may end up being incidentally true, but not the reason for sharing that information on the job ad. After all, there would be no reason for HR to apply said filters if the posting was prescriptive. It is there merely to grab your attention.

It is kind of like prices on product advertisements. If you fail to successfully barter with the merchant you very well may pay the price listed on the ad, but the price isn't listed as a commandment of what you will pay, but rather it is listed in order to capture your attention. "Huh, that's not a bad price. I should buy that." It's a marketing trick, is all.

That said, these days everyone has transitioned to "Bachelors degree or equivalent experience" so even if HR does hold firm to what the ad says, they aren't filtering by bachelor degrees anyway. That is a long outdated relic of the past that isn't subscribed to anymore as it has been realized that the 'indicator' doesn't actually indicate anything.
Absolutely. The point is though that the visualisation isn’t the occupancy network. And the occupancy network is a lot closer to a substitute for ultrasonics than anything shown on car screens. How much closer is hard to guess and likely unknown by anyone commenting in this thread. But I dare say it’s probably closer than some critics assume.
Sadly, the .RA files are missing from that site.

However you can download the broken file, (eg "lpl.ra")

open it with a text editor, and extract the URL (eg http://home.att.net/~philys.la/lpl.ra)

And put that into the Internet Archive.

I'm quite skeptical that it's equal as that would mean that cheating is not affected by, nor affects community/culture. I think we would find, if we explored this deeper, that occurrences of cheating are clustered as they feed off themselves in a developing culture of cheating.
The git init already made a commit of the initial empty tree. That's where your HEAD is currently pointing. You staged a file and then ran git reset --hard. That took you back to your initial commit that was created by git init.
My view as a customer: a simple change, could be changing ine character in one script will be delayed for two weeks or however long the sprint is. I would usually do all the troubleshooting and testing and basically handover the dev team a solution so that they won't keep delaying simple things for months.

I like the concept but dislike the rigidity. Perhaps it might help if sprints were retroactive, that is you get shit done, create jira,etc... and it will be reviewed as things done in the sprint, instead od micro-managing tasks, set goals like "complete feature X and bugfixes".
The recession was averted. The outcome was still bad, but it would’ve been much worse.

How do you learn to communicate effectively? You don't.

Beyond the cheap rhetorical trick, if one takes the effectiveness of communication to it's extreme they will reach what the French call "langue de bois", wooden language, as can be seen in the annals of parliamentary speeches of yesteryear or in the buzzwords-filled tech articles of today. And by aiming for pure effectiveness you can only achieve a wooden language since only there, in the dried-out forest of semantical nothingness and nonsense, you can reach a general consensus: we all know what "artificial intelligence blockchain-driven cloud-computing" means: close the article and move on.

This implies that the effectiveness of communication should only be one of the means to reach a goal. What could that goal be? Simply put: the goal of any communication should only be that of emerging out of it as a truth-teller. How to be a truth-teller? Use only the public reason.

Two rather heavy concepts above. The first, the truth-teller (parrhesiastes in Greek [1]) is a concept developed by Michel Foucault in the final lectures held at Collège de France [2], especially in 'The Courage of Truth', the Second Hour from February 1, 1984 speaks of "the truth-telling of the technician". And being a truth-teller you would never worry about being demeaning or hurtful because sometimes you would simply have to be so and you will only care about the courage of being a truth-teller, when calling the murderous naked king a murderous naked king.

The second concept is a dichotomy developed by Immanuel Kant between private and public use of reason [3]. For Kant 'private' does not mean that which I do in solitude, but that which belongs to my self-interest. We often hear the phrase "free speech" and all the phraseology surrounding it. But we never ask, free of what should the speech be? Kant answers: free of your own self-interests, perceived as such or surreptitiously attached by others. By using the public reason, one is indeed free, a truth-teller on the way to enlightenment, on the way to "emerge out of the self-imposed nonage".

> Spitballing, what is internet connectivity like between North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa?

Almost entirely via undersea cables. Cape Town, on the coast at the SW corner of Africa, is actually one of the closest places in Southern Africa to Europe and US, measuring by ping time.

North Africa is already "close enough" to data centres in Europe and/or Middle-east.
One of the reasons to raise price is to discourage people from buying when you have limited stock. Sellers can tell where their supply is coming from, compare it to how much stock they have left, and compare that to normal times. So yeah, they do have such a signal, though it is secondary to the actual reason for the price increase.

There’s a lot of interpretations and I don’t know if he’s ever endorsed one, but I see the judge as a general representation of a concept I’d describe loosely as capitalism, or the Industrial Revolution, or western technological progress in general.

He’s the embodiment of a force that just overtops and envelops everything in its path. It’s doesn’t even make sense to consider him moral or immoral or amoral (as many do when considering him a stand in for the devil) but more as a force that just transcends morality completely and makes it irrelevant, a force that has no other purpose but to expand and consume resources, indifferent to death or convention or tradition. A force that never sleeps.

I think the scene where he calmly ignores the Indian attack while making explosives is probably the most literal example but the theme runs through his character.
