I have a government client that has locked down all outgoing access for a web server except though a socks proxy.

It makes simple things really hard - like a links checker, package dependencies, remote servers or integrations with Google.

We can't even run test scenarios on the machine because we're also locked _out_ of the server. Instead, we rely on their IT department to run test scripts that we send them via email.

We were debugging an elastic server connection for 2 weeks that was working perfectly fine in their "QA". It's a horrible existence.
There are/have been elaborate cheating setups for online shooters that involved a second computer using the VGA or HDMI video stream.

At least in the US, the FCC largely ignores amateur radio and related services. Unless they start causing interference with other services. In general an amateur digital mode cannot have encryption (there are a few exceptions). A digital mode must have a published specification as well. PACTOR is not published to my knowledge.

The ARRL petitioned for an increase to the symbol rate on the HF bands almost a decade ago. The FCC never formally did anything with it.

It was a few years back, but at one point the FCC issued a 200+ kw license for a transmitter right at the top of the 20m band. Why? I have no clue. It isn't like the operator couldn't afford a commercial license.

The FCC barely does anything about interference coming from equipment that affects amateurs. I've had substantially more luck contacting manufacturers and constructors directly. Just google "solaredge RFI" if you want more info about this.

It took a commercial radio manufacturer years of professional lobbying to convince the FCC that the CB radio spectrum could in fact be with FM. The FCC is about 50 years behind on regulation for the CB radio. There is a huge amount of very valuable spectrum that could be used for citizen radio purposes with type accepted equipment very cheaply. But the FCC does not allow it.

The FCC approved DFS for Wi-Fi, but didn't actually specify what the equipment was supposed to do when it must mitigate interference. All the equipment I've seen just switches the AP to the first 5 ghz channel and leaves it there. Forever. Likewise the FCC approved a new 5 ghz band for WiFi and similar services and puts power limits on emissions, as they should. But none of the chosen channels have a power limit of something very low like 0dbmw or similar. I have neighbors who find it fit to run an AP on every single available channel in the WiFi spectrum. I would just like one I can use in my house comfortably without getting interference. If we're going to have all this spectrum, why not take one channel and put a very low power limit on it? That way residential customers could use it in their house knowing they aren't receiving interference or generating it.

The FCC regulation is almost always lagging behind reality for spectrum they aren't paid for. Cellular and stuff gets all the attention, since that is where the money is. The transition to ATSC from NTSC for broadcast television would be a good example. That happened quickly and without endless debate as to the merit of it.
Marathon works perfectly to show how bonkers the idea of sprinting is.

I like the idea of thinking of software development more as orienteering, if anything, it doesn't go far enough.

To deliver full-featured software in time (note I didn't say on time, but there is certainly such a thing as delivering too late) is 10% velocity and 90% dependency resolution.

I'm still looking for a tool which thinks primarily in terms of dependencies, and treats time as it is: fixed in the past and speculative in the future. I don't care if the person who put the information into the computer thinks something will take three weeks, I care very much if there are three projects which need completing before the main track can get past the third step.

I don't care what anyone believes in, I respect your perspective. I think sprints and modern agile practices are an anti-pattern as practiced today especially in big tech. I've seen very few teams who operate like a well oiled machine using them though.

What is important however is some type of shared vision or general plan. Not all teams are lucky enough to even have that. Some people treat their job as a job. Some people treat their job as their life's mission. Much of this definition gets lost in translation in the middle.

In theory a team full of product-minded engineers / self-managing individuals don't need much to be impactful because they will know where to add value and make progress while being looped into the industry/customers.

Rewards For Justice – Stop a Terrorist and Save Lives
God can I relate with this. My college/high-school experience of Calculus was miserable. It was built on already shaky Math foundations, so I simply did not understand it at the time. I did enough past papers to memorize the sequence needed to solve the questions in the format they gave it in, and squeaked by with a B or a C iirc. It was never explained to me why I would ever need Calculus, other than to pass my Math exams so I could go to University and get a good job. All this study; 0 context.

Lo and behold, I went to university to study electrical engineering. I needed it for everything, from differentiator circuits, to digital signal processing, to current flows. Limits, derivatives, and integrals are the backbone of EE. My foundational knowledge of Calculus was non-existent. We glossed over it on my course because the assumption is that most everyone knew it because it's part of the College curriculum. I had to go through hell and back at university, doing my coursework while simultaneously catching up on all of the mathematics I had failed to grasp in my college days.

I would have been much better served by solidifying my Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry. Better yet, do a pre-Calc (not really a thing in the UK afaik) course containing 101 real life examples of where this might be useful.
I think the point of the OP is missed here. Productive teams don’t need any of this garbage; least of all a religious war about methodologies.

Productive teams are primarily hackers solving larger problems. This stuff gets in the way, causing the team to morph into developers instead.
I think the parent is coming from a place where projects have a defined start point and a defined deliverable at the end. In that situation, they might be advocating for spiral development [1], which isn't really that different to agile. It's a bit more process-heavy maybe, but as always these things are what you make of them.

For me this article joins a long list of "I don't believe in X" where the author has apparently only experienced bad versions of X.

Most of the time with the articles, the answer to "X done poorly" is to switch to "Y done well" but doing X well would have likely worked too.

Personally, my most enjoyable job as an engineer was when I worked on a project by myself in 1 week sprints. I spoke to my manager twice a week: 15-30 minutes Monday morning for "sprint kickoff" and 15-30 minutes Friday afternoon for "sprint wrap up" and how I spend the rest of the week was up to me. When a second more senior engineer joined the project it was even more enjoyable to work on it together in the same sprint format.

Having a great manager also helps a lot!
You may want to clarify that in the GitHub repo, too. See my issue there.

If you want to go the didactic route, then consider documenting the improvements over the naive implementation: register hinting, register priorities (PHI), two-headed register picking, fixed register picking, optimized register picking for 2-operand instructions (x86/x64), register pair picking, ABI calling-conventions, weak allocations, cost heuristics, eviction heuristics, lazy/eager spill/restore, rematerialization, register shuffling (PHI) with cycle breaking, register renaming, etc. That's all in ~2000 lines of lj_asm.c.

That's fine, but at the same time you need to build up your backup strategy.

That's the problem in general in our modern economy. No reserves, no resilience, no backup plan
Why is this stupid “opinion” bubble up to the top of HN?
You do realize every single virus, many bacteria, and some other germs, are literally injecting molecular/genetic payloads into your body to hijack your body's protein machinery, and your immune system updates itself in response?

I wasn’t saying “you do you” sarcastically. You ultimately decide what you can afford.

Being conservative debt is a valid strategy, but has risks. Buying the house you need at 25 may not be the optimal strategy if you’re going to be there when you’re 35. Bedrooms and school districts may matter more.

In my own case, my wife and I decided that we would send our kids to private schools and wanted to maximize our family time. So we bought a house in an urban area that was perfect for our goals, had a 10 minute commute and much less expensive than a suburban house of similar nature. We borrowed, but not excessively.

Financially, it’s not a high rate of return (probably about 3% annually). My same house in a town with a good school district would have generated a 10% return. But for me, liberating 150 hours of commuting time and not having a big mortgage was valued higher.
It’s “weed out” from the perspective of medical schools, not chemistry path people.

It is a challenging subject for many, but the people who aren’t premed have an inherent interest to work through the material, imho.

I think that if the MCAT removed all organic chemistry, organic would lose all the “weed out” categorization

>it is pretty common to see people pop into the comments about anything police-related with “Well actually there is no empirical logical reason to disbelieve the notion that the police are the arbiters of truth.

It's not just for police, HN is overwhelmingly a very pro-empirical community, much like the population it represents. One of the biggest weaknesses empiricists have as a mass movement is that they are extremely easily manipulated, so long as you are able to control the flow of information (which the police usually do).

A positivist must, by his or her principles, serve to bolster support for any likely genocidal dictator, murderer, what have you, until the bodies are actually found.
Some of the Dota cheats use methods in which subtle bits of what should be private information are made public, although not always in a nice/easy way for humans to see. For example some animations and particle effects are visible through the fog of war. Another interesting situation (which I think was recently fixed?) was a bitmap stored on a unit (for example, your hero) for visibility checks by each faction (as in, which factions could see you). You could thus tell if you were visible, and hence detect enemy vision.
Elon’s concern regarding moderation wasn’t about spam and fraud though, it was about behavioural bans.

The NBA does not actually stop people playing basketball. It does not stop people putting in thousands of hours trying to get to their minimum bar. Organic Chemistry 1 is not trying to get into the NBA. It’s trying to get into a high school basketball team. Thousands of people do well enough at high school basketball to play university level. Most of them have no hope of playing professionally, anywhere.

Organic Chemistry is only “that important” if you’re going to study chemistry, medicine or possibly biology. If you can’t pass it you’re not going to make it. Weeder courses exist to fail people who wouldn’t have made it sooner rather than later. You can do it at community colleges or open enrollment universities with no admissions standards like CUNY.
Annoying as it may be, this situation is somewhat ubiquitous in the history of human knowledge.

Transistors were invented by Lilienfeld, yet everyone knows about the work of Bardeen et al. at Bell Labs. Einstein in relativity is the Balto of Lorentz-Poincare, which is why his Nobel prize mentioned the photoelectric effect and not relativity.

Simple formulas of scientific credit tend to stick better; the path of scientific progress is usually anything but. This is ok. The main thing is the knowledge itself, not who came up with it after all.

And yet it is very frustrating!
So Putin invaded a foreign country and seized their land and you think Merkel's decision of keep doing business with Putin was somehow domesticating him?

It's precisely that lack of action that proved to Putin that out leaders are spineless addicts to his cheap gas and he can play them like a fiddle.

Also, let's not forget the lucrative positions Gerhard Schröder got at Russian energy companies in exchange for his "help" in getting Germany hooked on Russian gas.

The ones they sell today are not as capable as they were in the 90s. I had a few models and loved using them.

https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/history-of-casio-dbc-dbx-... gives a nice overview of many of the models and their features.

If the ones for sale now were as good as they were in the past or better I would probably get one, mainly for nostalgia.
Google worm that never dies
This breaks google for me and fill the results with some religious text.. But I'm looking for the name of species of worm.. that never dies.

Is it too much to ask for a single non-fiction result?

From the article they describe many ways they can cheat in fishing (e.g. putting ice in that then melts) that aren't so easy to catch.

If there is a way to cheat, someone will inevitably give it a go with enough incentives. Cheating is the meta-sport and I would think no sport could ever be completely free of it.
> I don't want someone doing surgery on me who couldn't handle the workload

So this is a problematic one. Currently the workload in a few areas of medicine is not sustainable. Those who pass also can't handle it. There's a threshold where instead of people toughing it out, we'll need to adjust the system so it's not necessary that much.
> If consumers expect future price drops

Which they do. The only time in US history where a significant inflationary spike was not followed by deflation was in the long run up (already making it an outlier) in the 1970s through 1980s, and inflation in that period transpired primarily due to wage inflation. As wages are the stickiest of all, you don't get downward movement on price when the tide shifts, you simply see unemployment shoot through the roof.

When fertilizer availability is no longer the most pressing concern facing humanity, something we are unlikely to not be able to resolve in due time, there won't be much reason for prices to persist. There is little to no stickiness here and it tumbles from there.

You could also blame the companies too.

Any reasonably size company could have started doing things to insulate themselves. Things that were compatible with the environmental policies governments were already pushing.
I highly recommend Suttree, which is much less in that post-apocalyptic vein. It’s incredibly humanistic and funny and I think it’s his best work. It still has his incredible command of the English language and sequences of just absolutely beautiful prose, and in some ways it can be quite devastating but it’s much more balanced with the endearing parts of humanity I think.
Why do we need predictable deliveries?

Let’s boil this down to first principles. Nothing about building software, especially innovative software is predictable.
Under this theory of damage, there’s no such thing as theft until you die because there’s always a chance you’ll get your belongings back on your deathbed. So no biggie, right?! Time value of money is a thing. Time under stress is also a real thing, and Musk seems to relish in putting other people in it.
yes *optional and optional-> are UB if the optional is none. But in your code that's perfectly well defined because you guarded it with that if that made sure it wasn't none in the first place.

The reason they are UB is because the comments that it's similar to a null pointer are incorrect. std::optional doesn't store a pointer. It stores a value, and it's required that the value isn't constructed for a none optional. That way you don't have to have an empty no-args constructor nor ensure the constructor is side-effect free. And because the WG doesn't control your code, nor does the compiler, the resulting behavior can't be well defined other than by having operator-> have an extra if check & throw. Which if that's the behavior you want, that's what optional's value() gives you.

Many people are very good at writing. When you read them, we get excited to talk to them face to face and discover them till we found out they are poor at verbal communication.
So... developers aren't productive?

This is a weird take.
From the dev team's perspective, sprints are a good tool to force the business people to pay attention to you. Booking a few hours of your prospective end users' time each week helps ensure they focus on collaborating with you, think about what they want, and understand what you want to tell them.
Estimates should be made in abstract units (e.g. 'function points'), then converted to man-days or dollars or whatever using a scaling factor specific to the estimator. That way, the actual value of the estimate is moot; it's the consistency of the estimates that counts.
That's my point: not only it didn't work, but her lack of imagination left us all on the cold.

Blood Meridian left me with the feeling that Judge Holden was originally multiple characters turned into a composite to serve as a narrative device and metaphor. I think I would have enjoyed the book more if it had been a straightforward odyssey of the kid, involving the many people and situations he encountered along the way. Using the Judge as a thematic binder sort of ruined it for me.

Produced a zillion other tsunamis, first.

The fossil record in what is now northern US shows two local tsunamis triggered when two kinds of seismic wave that travel at different speeds arrived sometime apart, affecting what we would consider an inland sea stretching north from the Gulf through what we think of as the "midwest", or "flyover country".

Same must have happened in many places. Any water wave arriving directly from near the impact site would necessarily arrive much later than the various seismic waves. It must have been smaller, there, because it did not wash over the leavings of the first pair.

The vast majority of people working in those industries don't do any more calculations or maths that the average office worker. Yes deep down in the heart of their computer systems there's a ton of analysis going on, but only a very few people have to work on the calculations. Even them most financial transactions are just adding and subtracting.
If you want to increase non-car infrastructure you either have the problem that you have room, but density is insufficient (e.g. suburbia, cities with too many huge parking lots), or that there is no room (e.g. reasonably dense metro areas). In either case you need to fundamentally restructure the infrastructure to make public transport attractive. That's not really possible without making life worse for drivers.

I find it challenging to estimate my own time in tasks. Part of every task is figuring out how to actually do the thing you are wanting to do, and sometimes that takes 5 minutes and sometimes much longer. So I am terrible at estimating my own time, and even worse at estimating someone else’s. It doesn’t add pressure to a person if you give them a time goal they know is basically arbitrary.
