Narrator : A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.

Woman on Plane : Are there a lot of these kinds of accidents?

Narrator : You wouldn't believe.

Woman on Plane : Which car company do you work for?

Narrator : A major one.
How to “bundle install” in deployment mode, using bundler in Docker
This is basically how Objective-C worked, being based on Smalltalk. Especially with NSNotificationCenter, you also get the async aspect (so-called “NSNotificationCenter spaghetti code”).

Personally I have mixed feelings on it. ObjC/AppKit was clearly a step up from classic object UI toolkits built in rigid languages like C++, but I find React and its immediate-mode brethren far more enjoyable to work with precisely because there is no amorphous graph of actors sending messages to each other.
Depends. Some fish tournaments, like bass, are typically catch and release after weighing. This makes it harder to examine the fish if the goal is to release. Others like kingfish are catch and kill, though people cheat by other means like catching a fish earlier in the week.

The big money tournaments like bill fish, where millions of dollars can change hands, are usually catch and release on the spot but entrants have a judge on board to measure any fish caught.

I've done competitive king fishing in the past, and cheating or suspicion of cheating has been around for decades.
The EU didn’t decide to start a war. Putin did. (How’s that working out for Russia, by the way?)

The EU was forced into a bad situation due to the recklessness of Moscow.

That said the writing was on the wall 8 years ago or so, and the EU really should have been diversifying away from dependence on Russia.

> If you find yourself in 2022 or later designing a file format intended for bulk data and you use any of the words "stream", "serialization",

Nit: I think I know what you are getting at, with blocks streams vs byte streams, but it's kinda hard to design a file format without serialization or byte streams. Not sure how that would work.

> I think it's high time that the industry standardised on a generic "container" format to replace legacy archive file formats.

I have a side project chipping away at just such a thing. It's quite daunting, so if this at all interests anyone, please comment/reach out. I'd love more of an excuse to work on this.

SITO in a nutshell:

- It's all based on msgpack, which does most of the heavy lift for serialization and datatype encoding

- a sito stream comprises blocks, each block is a self-contained, independently decodeable msgpack array object.

- each block an array of the form (type: smallint, header: optional(hashmap), data: any)

- the type is either a single-byte int, or a packed int indicating a substream id

- the sito primary stream comprises multiple independent substreams

- there's no raw plaintext fields, but there is a plain unicode block which can be used to embed whatever plaintext metadata

- substreams can each have whatever compression/codec they want

- since each stream is a block stream, it's trivial to de/interleave

- for data integrity, I want to do something like block-level CRC/FEC along with per-stream merkle trees but I haven't worked out the details yet

- there are periodic "sync-blocks" which have a magic 8-byte sequence for starting a file, but also throughout the stream, to facilitate re-alignment of read heads

- I've also been toying with the idea of using sqlite as stream indexes and as a general glue to keep track of what's going on (right now, you can arbitrarily start a new substream at any point in the primary stream, so it's hard to tell at the start of a file what's in it, sqlite pre-allocates pages so write heads can go back and update a prior index block)

- nd-arrays are a particularly interesting datatype so there's an emphasis on ergonomics around handling them

I plan on doing a simple PoC at some point soon showcasing SITAR, the sito archive format, with a python tarfile-like interface.
It's not the Superbowl, but I built software for a national sporting event during my time working on VOD for a broadcaster in Australia.

I think this sort of thing - where what you're building has external hard-to-move dependencies - comes up more often than you think. Those election visualisations on NYT didn't build themselves. There's often a bunch of less-hard-but-still-inconvenient dependencies as well - you're building software for hardware, or there's advertising campaigns in planning/motion.
We've done a lot of this too. Works very well. Hire curious, teach Clojure.
> A few weeks ago my daughter very proudly announced that she managed to "outsmart" (=hack) her online test app used by her class. I was shocked and asked why she would do that, she's smart enough to get an A without that. She seemed obviously puzzled by my question and my lack of enthusiasm about her "achievement" she was so proud of (it involved some JS modifications).

I wonder if maybe it was the chance to solve a different challenge than the one before her (the test), which if she could already get an A maybe wasn't the right challenge?
The rich and powerful who run our country don't want an educated society. A society of critical thinkers is harder to control. Better to have sheep who are easy to herd.

So if they managed to screw an entire generation with high debt because "of course college is required for a good life in the US", great! If the next generation can't afford it and has to take lower-paying jobs, great! And now we got abortion nixed, so there will be more desperate kids having kids. Great - they'll take any job we offer at the lowest rate possible!

The US doesn't want a good education system.
I wish it was the norm for management to be looking 1-2 years out. Sometimes that tries to happen at the C level, but even then it doesn't seem to work its way down to line managers who are almost always focused on the next immediate deliverable. Future looking managers are the exception, not the rule in my experience.
Not only they are, many hardcode anti-microkernels folks kind of forget their beloved monolithic Linux kernel nowadays runs on top of type 1 hypervisors (which is basically a tiny micro-kernel), and then there is this whole thing with Docker and Kubernetes deployments for every executable.
Also doesn't allow other to update metadata or even submit for review.

Wikidata has a property for Internet Archive ID, so it wouldn't be conceptually hard to construct a parallel metadata store there, but it would involve hundreds of millions of triples so it's definitely "hard" in other senses.
I guess its value is being accessible. It's a long process to find good interior designers and then .. all the way to kick start ideas.

Sorry, I misremembered, the native flicker frequency is at 200 Hz, I had to look up my notes again and verify by listening to my solar panel hooked up to a 3.5mm jack.

I forgot to mention, I actually managed to write a program that would dynamically rewrite the period and pulse width registers to play music off the screen backlight, based off a conversion of the Monkey Island tunes from https://www.thanassis.space/monkeyisland.html. It almost worked... except that whenever I decreased the period (raised the pitch), there was a random chance the new period would be greater than the current phase, and so the display would hang at full or zero brightness nonstop (producing a gap in the sound) until the 16-bit counter running at 0.98 MHz (= 125/128) rolled over, rather than instantly setting the counter to zero and turning the display back on. I've recorded my "best effort" attempt at music, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qt0ssFk410 (every recording has different gaps when pitch increases).
What would be the alternative without sprints?

What specifically about not using sprints would help the team if they lack good planners and people capable of seeing the big picture?

Isn't such a team screwed regardless of how they allot work?
I heard about a million times that, and that you could also destroy the hard drive by reading the first and last track many times in secession.

If at all truth, it was in very specific HW (I was in touch with really, really, really big amounts of people in the industry and HW, and have never first hand heard of that happening).
I think a much simpler explanation would be something like "it is like a phone with the SIM card removed - can't make calls or connect to the internet, but can still run its own applications and games" :-P

(the SIM card part would be because it is something the students could do with their own phones -and some might have done at some point- so they'd have first hand experience)

Agree with everything except the last sentence: that the Russian invasion failed so hard is partially due to the support Ukraine got since 2014 and still gets. For me, it was more like preparing for the worst while hoping for the best. Because who wouod have thought anyone would be stupid enough to lanch a major land war, in Europe, against a well prepared country that can easily be supplied by its allies, an invasion that was signaled light years in advance? So yeah, it was a surprise that it actually happened, and it hit a rather well prepared Ukraine.
> The doc basically said my latest bloods are outstanding

What was the change in blood reports?

I am surprised somone can simply reverse their 'serious' metabolic disease state in mere 6 months.

Then what would be the point of living a healthy lifestyle everyday if you can simply 'get healthy' in a matter of months when you need it.

I've wondered about this for a while. My friends don't give a shit about health and barely do any physical activity. They can get to 'outstanding' equivalent level in 6 months at the time of their choosing? That doesn't seem fair,lol.
When I said ‘generally’ I meant generally. Children “prosecuted as an adult” is a thing. I also said there’s a common belief in redemption, not automatic forgiveness.

As for the difference between a 16-year-old and 19 not being big, that probably just depends. At 19, I was absolutely mortified at things I did in high school.
This has a real "no TRUE Scotsman" vibe
This, boring things don't tend to be reported on as much.
You are completely misunderstanding the goal of such a cheat. It's a "triggerbot" as in it fires the mouse when an enemy head enters the crosshair. The classical use case is that the user camps at an edge and waits for the enemy to peek. The user has his crosshair at the correct offset from the edge so that when the enemy peeks he could hit them with a human reaction time.

However a human sees the enemy BEFORE it enters the crosshair and estimates and corrects when the enemy will enter the crosshair. A trigger bot measure exactly WHEN the head is in the crosshair, it has no predictive power of enemy dynamics. This totally changes the latency game. A 150ms trigger latency from the time a head is in the crosshair basically means you shoot when either the crosshair or enemy has moved significant amounts. This also means that you can very obviously cheat with a trigger bot if you use the trigger badly, the human needs to "hide" the trigger latency to make it appear human. You can't compare it to human reaction time at all, a trigger needs to be about an order of magnitude faster to be useable.
First of all, the sanction blowback hasn’t hit Europe with full force yet, of course one would otherwise support something that enjoys massive media and government support when the real costs aren’t obvious.

Secondly, this needn’t have been tough times, if the EU had prepared. Or failing that, recognized that it can’t declare economic war on Russia and enjoy gas deliveries as usual.

Thirdly, “stable, uneventful bliss” must be a poor attempt at humor. Did you miss the multi-year global pandemic that we still haven’t recovered from?
NATO is USA.
Being a European (Dutchman living in Sweden) I have the privilege of speaking from my lived experience (right?) so... It is not as if there were no warning signs, nor warnings. No, this is really the effect of a myopic view on energy production and consumption pushed mostly by the "green" parties, movement and lobby. The main culprit here is Germany with their "green" politicians insisting on closing nuclear power plants as if this were some religious edict but many other European countries as well as the EU are to blame for this lack of insight.
How is he going to "convince 200,000 people in 5 years" if he isn't even willing to fly first class instead of private? He obviously doesn't care, so he's not going to convince anyone.
I wonder if something like this is what happened to my 2013 chromebook pixel. About a month after the warranty ran out, the audio quality from the left speaker rapidly degraded to distorted crap over the course of a few days, then stopped forever. Shortly later the same thing happen to the right speaker, and that computer never made a sound again.

Tbh I'm still pretty salty about it.
I have a disagreement with the article's premise.

>Pessimism sounds smart. Optimism sounds dumb. [...] There is an “optimism stigma” that is pervasive throughout society.

Does it? Is there? I am thinking you associate with and consume from the wrong circles.

To me this is not the case. I find full pessimism (nihilism?) disappointing, and often not thinking situations through. I have yet to find a situation where I had not been able to find some optimism (, and yes I had my share of horrors).

If I had a choice between a full pessimist and a full optimist, I would always take the optimist. I think the movie "What Dreams May Come" by Richard Matheson is fitting.

That is all about me. As for society (people I come in contact with), most, despite sometimes horrific situations (e.g. cancer, war, torture, starvation, near-death) they mostly have optimistic outlook from small to big pictures, their life situation, to getting that next meal. Even when they get into a pessimist thought, they abandon it.

I also do not think it is a binary choice, and realism is on this scale somewhere.
I agree with the advice to be your authentic self, and someone who's on the spectrum would probably find it very inauthentic to try and turn themselves into an overnight charmer or "life of the party" type.

That being said, I don't think abrasiveness correlates as strongly to authenticity as you seem to imply. You do not need to be obsequious or to grovel for your coworkers' approval or to follow all of their norms, but you should treat them with respect in as much as you would want them to treat you with respect.

It's also an incredibly common and lazy copout, for downright mean/dickish/asshole people to claim their abrasiveness is "just who they are" and others need to "get used to them" or "grow a thicker skin". These people are generally toxic, and make it impossible to build a healthy workplace or team culture.

I don't believe you are one of those people, and I certainly hope you don't become one.
This posting brings back memories. I was a computer science major at the University of Maryland, College Park, in the late 70s. CMSC 330 was then taught by the late John Gannon, a demanding but excellent teacher. He tragically died in 1999 at only 51 years old. CMSC 430, subject of the OP, was also a fun course, but for the projects we had to use PL/UM, a local dialect of IBM's PL/I. The compiler (for our Univac 1108) was written by the professor teaching the class and it was buggy as hell. When we complained that our correctly written project code wouldn't compile or run correctly, the professor said that that was just training for the real world and we should find work-arounds!
For example they need a lot of nonrenewable resources to build.
In what sense? If they keep missing the planned sprint so that they must take less and less work each following sprint, isn't this telling the company there's something wrong somewhere? (Not necessarily the developers, mind you).
Pessimistic - tending to see the worst aspect of things or believe that the worst will happen.

I don't see any of your example indicating a pessimism.

Pessimism != < the most optimistic

It's a free country, you're free to be a racist or an anti-theist or a sexist or just about any other -ist. But when your intolerance makes you a legal liability to employers, you'll have yourself to blame.

And insofar as you find SQLite's developers intolerable, this is definitely a "you" problem. The vast majority of us don't have a problem with SQLite's developers, they make software that is used by a huge and diverse group of people. This makes your intolerance all the more stark.
> There was an investigation that "confirmed" the same officer was at the training:

Exactly! I have the same experience. It is a source of eternal frustration in the team. I had situations that everyone was crushing it, the team work efficiently and at the end the team had to go through the bashing on retro.

There is an argument that you can always add features to the sprint, so you start small and then extend sprint with additional task. But it does not work, because tasks seem to take all the time that was planned for them.

However, the rituals of SCRUM like retros and groomings taking place every 2-3 weeks is a good thing. It's like hygiene.
> It pretty much starts at 0 seconds in. The first few lines lines of dialogue have more substance than the entire plot of most other games.

The question isn't about "most other games". The question is about "this unique game with an amazing story where every action is meaningful" etc.

Most other games don't have a starry-eyed following which can't explain how 20 hours in you can't see even a shred of this story.

> Not because they're particularly deep, or evocative, but because of how they tie into the themes, story, and gameplay of the game.

Not deep or evocative but ties into the themes and story of the game is Game Making 101. Every single game with a semblance of a story line has that.
who are you calling kid? you even edited your original comment afterward lol. logical facts are that russian and putin long called for ukraine to be neutral. removing their elected leader and pushing a pro european riot destroyed that neutrality and that was the tipping point of everything else. that people like you developed a generational hate toward a country is not helping with the above facts
carlsen is right saying cheating is an existential threat to chess. if cheating becomes easier to conceal (more subtle) it will kill interest in spectating and double paranoia in player.

i could not care about bike racing due to doping, literally all top racers were doping back when i was following it. i can no longer watch it without doping in the back of my mind after all of it started coming out. Olympiads to me are the same.

if cheating in your sport is not dealt with it will grow like cancer .

I want to see the code produced by this non-system; and to learn its longevity, particularly beyond when key early contributors have left. I want to see the applications produced by that code and to learn the size of the teams, departments and companies around the products. This article carries little weight without some of that context.

There's no meat to this article, just a rant about some management style the author doesn't like. The author goes so far as to say that only the managers can fail in software. This sounds unbelievable to me because we're all humans.

Sprints, and points, are not JIRA. Points are not Sprints. Jira is not Scrum. These are all orthogonal tools that can work well together, in my experience. They don't always work well together. If you're doing Scrum well, you'll inspect what's working and what isn't, and change it. It's possible to change so far from Scrum you've moved on from it... but I haven't seen that happen and yet still found it useful in most places I've worked.

People who dislike Scrum often complain that the defenders regularly say "well, you're not doing Scrum if you define it like that". They throw away the whole argument. Scrum that isn't Scrum, isn't scrum. You can't not-do a thing and then claim that thing doesn't work.

But there was never going to be a NATO base in Ukraine, cause Ukraine wasn't going to join NATO for decades.
I do feel that there is a "missing" simple/basic text format which is somewhere in between csv and json/yaml. csv has no hierarchy while json/yaml are horribly unreadable for tabular data as it has no concept of columns (see https://csvjson.com/csv2json as an example). Maybe such a thing exists but I haven't seen it.
I think it's more of a supply issue than a demand issue, and covid made the situation worse.
I also don't like "sprint". Many say "iteration".

That's an advantage of async vs manual CPS. Green threads/coroutines allow stack based resource handling without the syntactic complexity of async.
Better idea, just call it "software engineering". You don't see runners trying to find metaphors in order to organize how they work.

Sprints are meant to correlate with frequent releases. Yes, sprints are a bit weird when we are talking about such large horizons. That sounds like a square peg, round hole problem.
I worked in a financial company in mid 2000s where the network head did not believe in internal firewalls so that all internal users were on the same network as all the web app servers and database servers. If someone was downloading a movie then customer web access slowed; since everyone used Windows everyone was required to run virus scanners on their computers and that included the app and database server machines since they were not isolated from the rest of the network. If a vendor came to demo something they were unable to since there was no way to isolate their laptop from everyone else so they could not access the internet.

Good thing I never put any of my money in the company accounts...
