Of course, Scrum is concerned with sustainable pacing: avoiding end of waterfall "crunch", setting estimation horizons that are sustainable (developers are terrible at estimating things in two-week time periods, but developers have an impossible time estimating anything beyond that), modest attempts at preventing burn out, even regular "small increment" delivery is itself an attempt at sustainable pacing (rather than big blow out quarterly releases, for instance).

> You should reach a given point and stop.

"And stop"? I would almost pay to see a Scrum team that allows front-loading stories and pays for time off if they are completed ahead of sprint deadlines. That sounds like an incredible unicorn.

There's no stopping in Scrum. There's always "pick a new story off the backlog" and there's always an infinite backlog to pick from, in my experience.
This is dumb. We measure productivity because that’s what the people with the power to choose the important metrics care about. There’s no “we” that gets to choose anything! They don’t care about your wellbeing and would happily make you eat bugs if it meant their favourite numbers would go in the right direction.
The linked discussion is actually about performing calculus-like operations on type-theory types. (A natural next step after observing the similarities between algebraic types and algebra.) It's not about imposing a type system onto traditional calculus.
I can't speak to all of them, but the Pixel line absolutely does, and so do some other vendors.

At one point Samsung came with both Samsung Browser (chromium based) and Chrome preinstalled, but I'm not sure if that's changed in recent years.
This isn't the only way to measure it, and IMO not appropriate right now. The real problem is the balance of political opinion taken as a whole; The percentage of the population that holds what one might call far-right fascist views seem to be higher than it's been in the last 50 years if you assume that voters' views are more or less aligned with the politicians they vote for.

Assuming that just because Things Are Okay Now that there's no problem is exactly how we got Trump elected in 2016, and why Italy, Brazil, and the Philippines have all elected far-right or outright fascist leaders since then as well.

Also consider that Republicans have been perfecting a legal minority rule for decades via gerrymandering, court-packing, closing polling locations, enacting (unnecessarily) stricter voting requirements, and focusing on winning states with disproportionate federal representation by population count, and are now proposing state-wide abortion bans, taking over school boards to ban books and alter health and science curricula, and more.

This is all to say that even though the majority of Americans ARE far more tolerant than they were before, the fascists or fascist-adjacent contingent have been not only been growing, but have been amassing power at a rate disproportionate to their size.
“Black” people aren’t actually black. If you’re familiar with the term colored in the context in the United States, I’m not even sure what you’re arguing. Black people like everyone else come in a large range of hues, hence colored.

Not sure what’s so difficult to understand lol.

Reading articles like this always causes me to think two things:

1. If this is what a couple of smart guys can do as, essentially, a side project then I can only imagine what nation states with teams of people like this can accomplish.

2. I get why some orgs pour wax into the USB ports of their desktop machines.
I think the first board meetings, annual sales kickoffs, performance review management meetings, or other high-level, meaningful and lengthy events held in their own metaverse will be the most telling. What goes on at the leaves of the org chart will be useful signal. It's when the roots of the org chart, that controls the behavior of the leaves, actually puts up with a few hours of it among themselves, that's really interesting.
Stupid question, but this would be relevant for the market: if people can't buy DJI drones in the US, which drones would they buy? Recreational, sports, or industrial use.
You have to get more aggressive unfortunately which may sometimes block real users but do the following:

- Setup captcha or just block users from certain countries if you know where your traffic comes from. This can sometimes create issues for your users on VPN but then you have to make the call depending on how many of your users may be using VPN etc. At the minimum, add a captcha.

- Create more Page rules in cloudflare and block if they don't match the rule. For example, if your URLs start with a specific prefix, drop anything that is a no match.

- Make sure to return 444 status from your server directly if bots are bypassing cloudflare and hitting the IP directly. Sample code for nginx 1.19 or higher:

server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;

listen 443 default_server;
listen [::]:443 default_server;
ssl_reject_handshake on;

server_name _;
return 444;
}

If bots are getting too aggressive, I start with Block first, ask questions later. Depending on your traffic and users, it may be the right strategy.
If they called it Google Spelling, that would be our signal that it would be killed off in 18 months.

Notes about a new software world: An eXtreme DDD approach

Thanks. Is dart performance that bad? I thought it compiled to machine code if needed.

With the web support I was hoping the since dart can be transpiled to JS Flutter might do something similar. I'll have to look into this, I'm learning Dart due to its ability to run on most platforms.
My old director made a 3d scan of Obama when he was at the Smithsonian. He keeps a 3d printed Obama bust on his desk.
When BBSes started using QWK and similar tech to allow message downloads (and response uploads), the constant busy signals became less of an issue. There also was another traffic jam of busy signals at midnight for those BBSes with door games that started new turns at midnight. Some sneaky folks would take a turn right before midnight and then another right after midnight, getting two turns without anyone else getting on in between since they never relinquished the line between turns. Worked well for combat games like Global War (Risk).
I always thought the use case for WISPs was for places that have at best the fiber line built for "a cell tower" but are otherwise cut off from more solid ISPs who want home internet or for places that are best have shitty ADSL. That of course means people in distant nowhere.

I never thought of WISPs existing elsewhere as it doesn't make nearly as much sense if you have access to "real" broadband. I suppose this niche was wider at one point?

While I dislike DJI drones for theirs low hackability, I feel this is no sense as DJI's products are really very much civilian. And China do not ban iPhones or Windows because they are leaking a order of magnitude more Chinese bits (location services and telemetry) to the US controlled entities.

Honest question: is there any competent alternative to DJI drones? Better to be more hackable. DIY a drone with open source flight control boards is not hard (for me), but optimizing for battery life and having a good video downlink seems hard.
What an amazing project, first heard about it here when it launched.
Celsius seemed to be a classic Ponzi scheme wrapped in a cloak of crypto. The founder was a smooth-talking pitch man who claimed to have “discovered” a risk-free way to earn outsized returns by arbitraging some flaw in the centralized finance system. Madoff’s scheme was similar, but with capital markets rather than crypto. What these schemes have in common is that, once the market takes a dip, it becomes impossible to cover redemptions and the whole thing collapses.

I don’t see the collapse of Celsius so much as a cautionary tale against crypto (“not your keys…”), so much as a lesson against investing in Ponzi-like scams. If it sounds to good to be true…
No, you only think that because you believe unions had any power to begin with. They could only ever move the needle by a few percentage points, never anything drastic

Taking care of employee requires the need to be able to look at the long term viability of the company, and understand that experienced work force is far more valuable than not.

However, when you are measuring your performance in 1 quarter goals no on give a shit about profitability in 5 years or how to service the customer in 5 years, that is the next CEO's problem
"My favorite is always the billion dollar mistake of having null in the language. And since JavaScript has both null and undefined, it's the two billion dollar mistake." -Anders Hejlsberg

"It is by far the most problematic part of language design. And it's a single value that -- ha ha ha ha -- that if only that wasn't there, imagine all the problems we wouldn't have, right? If type systems were designed that way. And some type systems are, and some type systems are getting there, but boy, trying to retrofit that on top of a type system that has null in the first place is quite an undertaking." -Anders Hejlsberg

> In Illinois

As a former resident, the thing you have to remember about Illinois is that for statisticians and politicians, Chicago is Illinois, but everyone not in dinner and a movie range disowns it, like it’s it’s own state.

If you witness someone at a party say they’re from Illinois, and someone says, “I’m from Illinois!” the conversations will go, “What town? Where’s that? Oh, Chicago.” “Oh Chicago” like you just said you hate dogs. I think people from downstate expect people from Chicago or any of the burbs to tell people they’re from Chicago, not Illinois. This is made worse when talking to foreigners, who can’t place Illinois on a map in their head until you say Chicago.

If you exclude Chicago from your mental arithmetic, any number of stats seem counterintuitive for Illinois. Including some things you might assume Mississippi or Alabama would be #1 for like racist courts. But given how much traction organized crime got there during Prohibition, and how many former mayors have been indicted, if you include Chicago then you can believe just about any horrible fact about Illinois.
This is a topic of actual research, and metro area rental vacancy rates (i.e. how affordable/abundant housing is) are the main determiners of whether someone at risk actually becomes homeless.

Or skip the idea that your phone makes a good tuner, spend $35, and get the TC Electronic Unitune. It's by far the best tuner I've used so far, and it's small enough you can just throw it into your guitar case. (Or leave it permanently attached)

Plus, it's much less fiddly to handle than balancing a phone and a guitar :)

Ultimately, it's a matter of taste, and what you use them for.

TL;DR those who aim for rationally-directed good behavior end up doing things (i.e. expending resources that could have gone to something more-beneficial) that don't fit their rational-good framework—when they run into these seemingly deeper impulses and urges toward right-behavior, they can't or don't resist them in favor of their rational framework. In the passage's language, an effective-altruist is born with one "root" (I suppose the author would argue one that's very similar for most everyone) but create another with reason, which leads to tension when the two are in conflict.

(I have no dog in this fight, this is the best I can do to sort out the meaning of the post, I'm not necessarily interested in defending its argument)
I use a combination of strict FF settings, https-only, disabled suggestions, disabled autoplay, DDG search by default plus several keyword searches. Extension-wise only uBlock Origin and multi-account containers. That’s it. The web is very livable, no ads anywhere, the vast majority of tracking is gone, the browser is fast and responsive.
A few things worth mentioning: in the countries highest on the happiness indices, taxes are also among the highest in the world, and distribution of wealth less skewed.
as someone with many tabs across many windows across many desktops/spaces, one weird trick i found is that when firefox starts up (on an intel MBP, 2019), it will churn CPU at over 100% until you go and foreground each of the windows in each of the workspaces. then the CPU usage becomes normal. perhaps it has to do with extensions like noscript or ublock origin, or my propensity to start firefox without internet access, but i don't think that matters here. not sure why this happens, but it's been required across at least the last few firefox restarts for me.
Spotify sorely needs this feature. Great work!
Who is this written for then? It seems to me that the author just builds up a few explicit strawmen and expects that the reader is already on board with the idea that they are obviously idotic.
I don't know...I think this is overcautious--and actually too dismissive of the views of non-japanese people, it sort of sounds like you think we need to discount those views, but I think that's pretty racist (a racist stereotype like if you're not Japanese then you can't think or talk about the culture in anything but a stupid way...very racist to say so), and maybe a part of the insularity I'm trying to investigate!--because the idea of insularity is about cultural interaction across cultures, so the opinions of other cultures and their experiences of Japan is vitally important...it can't just be from Japanese people as you seem to be suggesting, we have to listen to everyone from everywhere, that's the point of this question, which I don't think you got.

So....But actually, I aimed to elicit the response from Japanese people about their own culture. I think there's an unintentional trend to view this as negative...I want to encourage Japanese people to tell the story of their insular culture in a positive way...I really just want to understand it. I thought that could kind of happen here, but maybe not today as it looks like this question has been flagged--for some reason? Oh well...HN can't be the forum for everything. I guess I'll have to rely on 1st hand experience again. It's not bad, 1st hand experience is probably better than something you can hear on a forum anyway. I would just love to hear some views from some Japanese people...I know they are here
> The crypto mantra "not your keys, not your coins" rings true.

Which just highlights why "crypto" is largely useless. The vast majority of people are incapable of operating sufficiently secure infrastructure. And even for people who can, it doesn't offer any meaningful advantages that would justify the enormous effort required.

> Privacy should be a basic and legally protected feature of blockchains.

This is impossible when you are using blockchains, because all data is, by design, public, and there is no way of preventing anyone from data mining it.
> One trend that surprises me is the upturn of astrology

I'm not sure astrology ever went away. Nancy Reagan famously consulted her astrologer in the 80s. It was big in the 60s/70s too. There may be some cyclicity to the popularity of astrology where it tends to pop up every 10 or 20 years, but we've been in a rational age for a couple of hundred years where you'd think it would've just completely gone away, but it hasn't. A lot of people are superstitious and want to look for causality where there is none even in modernity.

Although it was written long ago,

strong recommend for Dale Pendell's The Great Bay, https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/7821813-the-great-bay

It's a look over an exponential timeline of what goes down figuratively and literally after a collapse, with vignettes checking in during, shortly after, years after, decades after, ... etc. up to the thousand year scale; with nice interstitial montage scenes punctuating them describing what's going on around the world.

It's set in CA and some of the "college tries" to keep things going are quite recognizable...

...one of the memorable take-aways is what will serve as hard blockers to continuance is lack of access to various rare elements required for e.g. batteries. Once re-use exhausts itself, absent global trade, it's game over. :(

Ask HN: How can I find a bicoastal roommate?
I've lived in San Francisco for the past 15 years but spent most of the past year in New York and loved it. I also love my apartment and friends and life in San Francisco.

I live in a two bedroom apartment in the Mission district alone and I have to imagine there's someone like me, in the same situation, in New York.

What I'm imagining is that I would trade my second bedroom--currently my office--for someone's second bedroom in New York and we could both live bicoastal lives and travel between the two cities as we please.

I keep posting to housing boards with no response because, I think, the perfect person for this situation hasn't even considered it before.

I also imagine the perfect person for this situation is probably also a fully remote software engineer-type like myself.

Has anyone tried this before and had any luck? Where should I be looking?
Not really. They did pretty well on delivering what they promised. The problem is that they started selling the game multiple years before it was ready. That's not incompetent development, and I would not say they blatantly lied when promising future features.
Just to be clear, we need to measure inflation, and therefore, by accident, we end up measuring productivity. Here is a simplified example:

The nominal money GDP increases by 6%

Population increases by 1.5%

That leaves 4.5% that is either inflation or productivity. If we determine that inflation was 3% then we know that productivity grew by 1.5%. We don't necessarily aim to measure productivity (I mean, we do, but even if we did not) we would still end up with a productivity number, once we had subtracted out population growth and inflation.
IE was far from using a single undocumented API call.
> Trolling means saying something you don't believe in to start a ruckus/annoy people/make a flame war.

No it doesn't; please don't make up word semantics to try to make people look wrong. It's childish and pointless.

A disruptor cannot be absolved of trolling by it being confirmed that they believe in their own statements; a good many trolls are invested in their message, not just in disruption activity.

> nobody stated that

The put-off person was relating experiences from elsewhere to which you have no access to be able to say that. But in fact, I think I saw very similar remarks in comments under this very HN submission.

Some people are put off by trollish OS/language/editor/hardware/whatever advocacy. And water is wet, and dogs bark.

> how some people are claiming its going to replace vim/nevoim and others by the virtue of its great LSP and tree sitter suppor

That literally means "the outdated shit you're using ain't gonna be here before long, now that we have this", which is trolling even by your definition that incorporates disbelief in one's own statements.

Few years ago someone posted a link on HN of a keyboard that was designed for optimum swiping, fewest overlaps and what not.

It faced the same problem as all new keyboard designs, getting people to use it.

If you are on Android, you can find plenty of research project keyboards that are indeed more efficient to use, after you get over the learning curve.
> Sure, this is true, it's one of the reasons why results being significant or not is not very relevant.

No. Significance is the only thing that matters here. If you don't have a significant result, you don't have a result. Making up stories about how the results coulda-woulda-shoulda been significant if only the study was different somehow is fine for bedtime or planning the next study, but absolutely irrelevant to interpreting the clinical trial in front of you.

The CI here is not actually that wide; I was being colloquial. It's an 80,000 person trial, with 40,000 per arm. The absolute observed difference in colo-rectal mortality between the two arms was 0.03%. The per-protocol analysis (just those people who got tested) was a difference of 0.15%.

That latter figure is the best possible argument for colonoscopy, and no matter how you look at it, it's just not a big difference. Even if you ran a huge trial to get a significant result at these effect sizes, you're still talking about a difference of 15 people per 10,000 (at best) screened. That's a lot of pain and expense for very little gain.

I too use Colemak for physical keyboards and Qwerty for soft keyboards.

It is nice to have the consistency available. Though, I don't really have a need for it. Only case I can thing of is typing a few, key memorized passwords. I don't really remember the actual password, just the motions. Kind of a pain to motion it out and translate it to qwerty.

This is such a persistent myth on HN - I think I read it at least once a week - usually on one of the many alternative browsers, plenty of which are available on the AppStore.

WebKit is the building block of browsers on iOS, but there are an extremely varied selection of browsers using it.
