I don’t know if you are aware but he was removed from chess.com in 2020 and admired he was cheating then. So has a long term and recent history with cheating, this wasn’t just some youthful indiscretion.

The report includes strong evidence he was recently and repeatedly cheating in games for prize money which shows a serious lack of ethics.

Anyway, I don’t see any significant difference in OTB vs online cheating. It’s at most slightly easier to cheat online, but the OTB prize pools are significant.
The problem isn't energy but how the price is made.

I have come to like sprints by not caring if the teams I am on succeed or fail. I can then collude with other devs to water down the amount of work done a sprint.

Use their crappy tools against them and make sure your projects fail. You’ll be getting another job next year anyway.
They reinstated him January of the following year, only five months later.

I think the author completely misses the point or never worked in a proper agile team.

Imagine running a marathon without mile markers. Sprints are like mile markers they help you know and adjust your velocity and capacity to reach the end goal.

Without these sorts of tools you are just running without any sense of achievement or tuning to your teams performance.
The EU member states used to be in near constant war for centuries, starting two world wars in the process. Economic entanglement was one of the major factors that finally lead to a lasting peace. Applying the same concept to Russia was reasonable.

With another Russian leader it might have worked. But Putin, for whatever reason, chose potential glory over economic prosperity. A move so foreign to European democracies that we refused to see it coming.
My experience (possibly biased by my model) has been that it's a generational difference. Based on the fourth turning model Boomers are 'Prophets' while Millennials are 'Heroes'. No one cares if a prophet correctly predicts seven weeks of great weather if they miss the one hurricane that wipes everything out. And no one wants to hear a hero (which, let's face it, is a polite synonym for 'cannon fodder') give a realistic assessment of the odds. So this model would predict Boomers are culturally pessimistic while Millennials are culturally optimistic (both to an irrational degree at times).

Which has been my actual observation - has anyone here had corroborating or counterfactual experiences?
Irrational thinking seems unlikely. When glucose deficit, the brain functions fine on ketones. It might be you're experiencing your brain running on ketones.
The levers don't do exactly the same things; devaluing currency helps exports, for example.

There's also the political cost. I'm in favour of democracy in the ideal case, but obstructionism looks like a concern in some countries, people buy into lying spin and vote against their own interests, bills have their own cadence, and lawmakers are not always intellectual powerhouses. Case in point: the BoE reacted within hours to reduce the damage done by Liz Truss
If you have subpar project managers, product owners, and lead developers on your team would you really be better off without structured sprints?

I guess, I'm asking, is there something specific about agile that makes a subpar team worse?
It can sometimes take a long time to get a prize awarded. Like I believe Einstein didn't get his prize for years and years after he discovered Relativity and even when they awarded it to him it was only for the photo electric effect, which while important, wasn't perceived as his largest contribution
> The counter-example is trivial: suppose you have ten "Einsteins" in your class, but due to your dumb-ass stack ranked curve, you "cut" 4 of them.

Knowing from experience that 33% will fail is not the same thing as explicitly planning for 33% to fail. We don't have enough information to call this "stack ranking", IMO.

One of the calculus professors at my undergrad institution was reportedly asked on the first day of Calc I class whether there would be a grading curve.

He asked how many of the students were planning to be engineers. Roughly 3/4 of the hands went up. Then he said "I drive on bridges and fly in airplanes all the time. There will be no curve."

Because if Bobby from accounting doesn't have your piece of software ready by the 31st of November the company will be slapped by a fine from the IRS so large that you'll need to update your CV alongside all your colleagues from the now bankrupt company you used to work for.

Yep, at the end of the day, the whole world can't run if everyone is a professor emeritus just freely exploring random possibilities, even if it would be hundred times more efficient to just "get out of the way".

They already are a major shareholder. And I presume they can (or could in the future) have stakes in other Musk companies.

Essentially every project I've worked on in the last 9 years has been agile, most of them Scrum, and almost all of them succeeded in achieving their goals. There's a clear correlation on all of them between the skill of the project manager at applying the agile approach, and how difficult the delivery was.

Prior to that, I worked (as did most people) on waterfall-style projects, and the success rate was only about 50%.

How about you look at it from a different perspective? Putin and Yanukovych are corrupt fuckers. I know it's a lazy answer to google for sources, but google it. Joining the EU means having more scrutiny from Brussels, and if you're a corrupt autocrat, would you want that? No. How about you engage in some what-if thinking and think, "What if Yanukovych didn't want to join the EU because he didn't want his corruption be scrutinized?". What if Putin doesn't want Ex-Soviet countries join the EU because his own citizens might look at the non-autocratic countries
and see how progress can be made, and they might start wondering why they're still dirt poor, is it because all the money in their own country went to Putin and friends' pockets?

As to fair elections, here's some numbers about support for joining the EU from Ukranians (which you can conveniently dismiss by saying the pollers are "controlled by the West").

You're forgetting the value of following people you like on Twitter. As such, you are browsing your own curated feed, without the need to see much sludge. BTW sludge and toxicity can be found in quantities across the political spectrum, in case you're implying otherwise.
I don't believe this is a strawman...at least from an outsider's perspective. As someone who has only ever written software independently, the very idea of agile and sprints (at least reading about them here and talking to friends) has kept me from ever wanting to work for a company that uses them. It seems like it would suck all the fun out of writing software.
Nice trek.

100Hz flicker is terrible. It's amazing vendors still are so clueless.
You are aware that the Russian invasion was stopped, and Russia is being driven back? That was, oartly, due to weapons deliveries from the West and NATO, which includes all major EU countries. Keeping gas from Russia flowing kept a door open for Putin and prevented escalation. Which, in my book, are good things.

Now Europe is getting gas from other souces, albeit more expensive ones. And the EU alone is delivering 2.5 billion worth of weapons to Ukraine.

Once this war is over, I am all for normalized relations with Russia, because those make long term peace easier. Propably not worling under a Russian leadership that intentionally choose war.

What's the definition of revenue? Is capital gains revenue? This other law says capital gains are taxes at 1%. Do I pay 1% on the capital gains then 2% when I move it into my account? We allow deductions in order to incentivize investment - if you're getting taxed no matter what, you're incentivized to just keep the money.

I agree with you that everyone breaks at least some law on a daily basis, but I disagree that tax laws are based on governments wanting more power. They're based on a very complicated and chaotic mix of the incentives we want in society and lobbying by those who already have money and influence.
Good teams don't need sprints, ergo sprints are bad is not a good argument. I'm not the biggest fan of SCRUM overall, but it exists for a reason. I saw in another thread/article here someone describe SCRUM/sprints as "training wheels for managers", and I feel that is incredible accurate. If I'm going to come in and start leading a team, I'm probably going to start with SCRUM just to get my feet under me and learn how the team works. After that, switching to kanban can be discussed, but there needs to be /some/ tracking to communicate timelines to the business at large.

Ford doesn't sell cars directly. Dealers get what they get, and if this month's new cars don't have Package A then they won't sell that. This happens all the time, just go to any auto manufacturer site and configure the car you want, then call your local dealers to find one. I all but guarantee you you'll find some option package that is supposed to be available but isn't anywhere you can buy it.

And that's my point. No one cares about that, it's just not news. It's "the way the auto industry works". Except for Tesla. Then it's an existential disaster. It's just exhausting.

Good example! Environmental regulation managed to drive manufacturing out of developed countries making them vulnerable to less scrupulous, unfriendly regimes while merely shifting the environmental impact elsewhere.

The correct solution was, of course, taxing externalities like pollution and CO2. That would've allowed the free market to search for solutions naturally and locally.

That is my main qualm with regulations: they are a brute force imposed solution which solves the perceived problem on the short term while doing damage and 2nd order effects on the long term.
In my experience, the “predictable deliveries” delivered by agile are based on behavior changes induced by the methodology. Specifically, focusing on stable point velocity per sprint focuses the team on creating sprint plans that safely deliver. This reduces the potential accomplishments of the team - they reduce throughput and delivery to a level that can be safely accomplished every 2 weeks.

I have yet to find a startup that successfully launched using agile. I am sure there are examples, but most seem to be focused on the true goal of software development: releasing features to production.
AFAIK in many countries and universities around the world this is no problem in 90% of the cases.

Good professors are more than happy to have you there. One I even asked to take the exam, and get it corrected (to test if I really learned the content). And they allowed me to do that, I got the corrected exam at the end. Of course, it was not written in any book in the university.
> Facts are, by definition, supposed to be indisputable. Values are generally fuzzy and harder to demonstrate.

I think there's something wrong with your definitions. Facts obviously are disputable in a lot of contexts (e.g. reliability of witnesses, "he said, she said"), and recent times have shown that they probably are only "indisputable" within a shared system of values.
> Good quality planing, good quality execution will make a delivery predictable regadless of the projecy management style and how we break down a big task into smaller bits.

From some hard-won experience working with a variety of different teams, I have unfortunately found that good quality planning and execution are far harder to attain than you perhaps imagine. Some of these articles seem to paint software developers as magically perfect beings, with managers being pulled straight from Dilbert. The reality is far more complex. Sometimes one of the people on the team is being an asshat and hoarding knowledge. Sometimes they have overly-strong opinions on languages and frameworks that they're super familiar with, or go to the other extreme and work on only bleeding edge ones that were posted on Hacker News.

I strongly suspect that Agile is used at companies because it's a mildly effective way of curbing these dysfunctions in a team. If you spend time and money hiring the perfect team, then you probably won't need Agile. Think of a situation you do find somewhat commonly where you often have hackers smoothly churning out work with a team they selected perfectly for – early-stage startups. Good early-stage startups are often very picky about who they bring onboard, because an unproductive hire can literally cost you the company. It's possible to reproduce that on a team, but imagine telling your next boss at a run-of-the-mill that you're going to hire slowly over 18 months and very selectively.

If you give 2 builders a set of blueprints for a house, they will build essentially the same house.

If you give 2 software developers the same software spec they will give you 2 completely different pieces of software.

The code is the blueprints.

If you’re building a new innovative house that is different than what currently exists, the design phase is very similar to software development, and is likely to take an amount of time that is unknown at the beginning.

You have between 10-16 hours of time with a candidate depending on the desire ability of your job. I like to break it into: 1 hour of pitch/expectation setting where the only screening is for ability to complete the process (language, appropriate background, etc) and to catch obviously fraudulent candidates, 4 hours of take home technical assessment (programming project), 4 hours of soft skill assessment (3 hours of prep and 1 hour of presentation is my favorite format) and 1 hour of meeting with the hiring manager.

But, the format is not really the point. The point is to have a specific thing you are trying to discern from your filter and to focus your efforts on making that the only thing you are judging on.
> I went with building an isolated network, but I think that's outside the relm of what most consumers can do.

An off-the-shelf consumer PVR that uses wired ethernet typically has its own integrated PoE switch on its own subnet. Maybe it will route to your LAN if you probe the private ranges, but it's also a fairly straightforward software issue to fix - nothing fundamental to the arrangement, and at no additional marginal cost.
This! I am fortunate enough to belong to a small team which has mostly adopted Basecamp's "shape up" method and it has been a breath of fresh air.

I think the biggest game changer is the notion of using the "appetite" (number of weeks per cycle) to drive the design of the solution. This is opposed to the usual approach of coming up with a solution and then estimating the points/time it will take to do each part of the project. SE's are bad estimators and the product manager rarely uses time as a design constraint. This is why most projects run past their deadlines IMO.
I've not gone through it myself, but believing someone's investigation on Twitter, it does narrow it down to one person.

I've worked in places where the cycle to integrate work was more than six months. In a situation like that you often don't really know how to build the product at all and the six months can stretch to anywhere between 8 months and 18 months.

It is true though that springs bring in their own problems. For instance I worked on one project with two week sprints where it took a 2-3 day batch job to generate a database/a.i. model. This had a bit of Gannt chart character in that it had to be managed in terms of calendar time instead of punchclock time. If you didn't start the database build early enough you would predictably blow the sprint.

At the same place there were a few different teams with their own sprint schedules and the system was able to turn a 1 day delay into a 4 week delay as one blown sprint caused another blown sprint.

Another problem is how you organize work that has a pipeline structure. Is a tester expected to test work in the same sprint it is being developed in? What does a developer do when a feature is under test?

What really kills teams is a lack of trust. With the six month build cycle you can put off conflicts that a sprint cycle forces you to confront every two weeks. I think sprints are popular with some because it gives developers some space to be inflexible, but it is harmful for the business. Sometimes there is a feature the business needs right now and it could have it right now if you add 2 days to the sprint.
Came here to point this out. For non-trivial implementations of showHtmlPage, this is a vulnerability. A malicious user could set up a 403 response with a fake “please re-enter your card to verify” form that sends to the attacker, or possibly even script to scrape the card number. Probably low risk of this actually happening in this scenario, but I’m pretty sure this fix is a bad idea. Better to show a generic error and log.
