I have never worked in a SAFe environment, but have worked with multiple teams that have followed various Agile methodologies over the years, with varying degrees of "compliance to the process".

> I can absolutely understand the frustration that many have with SAFe, especially when it's pushed from a top-down manner

This is the wrinkle, and in my experience the #1 factor for whether or not any particular methodology is going to work within an organization: top-level buy-in. Before I got too jaded, I worked with and helped some teams that wanted to try bottom-up agile, and it would help the team get better, but if a layer or two up in the management chain still wants e.g. fixed timeline, fixed budget, fixed scope projects, you're going to run into impedance mismatches all over the place and lose most of the benefits in the medium term.

This can also happen in the other direction. An organization I worked with adopted EOS on the business side of the company but didn't really roll it out on the engineering side, except for expecting everyone organization-wide to specify their quarterly goals. After setting those quarterly goals, the engineering teams would still get yanked around in multiple directions, being asked semi-randomly to work on things that had nothing to do with their quarterly goals and then at the end of each quarter everyone just scratched their heads and went "why didn't we accomplish what we wanted to accomplish?"

Maybe I'm jaded, but I've gotten to the point where I don't really care which methodology is used, but rather that everyone top-to-bottom is on-board with it and actually following it. If it's Scrum, management needs to 100% buy in to the idea that they're going to get releases at a constant cadence and that those releases will contain whatever was prioritized as the highest value, with lower value features potentially missing. If it's something more conventional/waterfall-esque, management needs to be on-board with the fact that there's going to be some very costly analysis up front (that must include engineering) and that changes to that plan are expensive and will cause the schedule to slip; engineering needs to be on-board with the fact that they will be expected to deliver everything according to the schedule they built. It doesn't matter nearly as much which approach everyone wants to take, just that everyone understands the tradeoffs with that approach and that everyone's going to follow it.
Crossover ships a version of DXVK without geometry shaders and transform feedback.

That unfortunately breaks games using UE4 and Unity. And causes issues with distorted and invisible enemies in Witcher 3. And missing effects in Overwatch.
You get the idea, those feature are unfortunately pretty common.

When I was younger, I listened to a lot of Dylan’s classic stuff and then drove 10 hours to see him in concert. I was massively disappointed that the era of a guy sitting alone on a stool singing poetry were long gone. He was with some sort of jazz rock band that was so god awful I left halfway through. Worse still, he faced perpendicular to the audience, never looked up from the keyboard, and left me with a distinct “Weekend at Bernie’s” feel. A few years later he played my hometown and I went again, ever the optimist hoping that the previous show had been a fluke, the consequence of falling in with a bad (jazz-rock) crowd. Alas, it was the same and I left twenty minutes into it. Seems the never-ending tour should’ve ended.

> Taking the plea deal shows reticence as it immediately requires an admission of guilt.

Or it shows a preference for 5 years over the risk of 15 years out of pure fear or knowledge that the jury will be manipulated with pseudo-scientific "evidence".

Taking a plea deal can be totally separate from guilt or innocence.

> You're tying up immense resources simply to parse the details of your crime in an effort to convince a judge that maybe you're actually not that bad of a guy.

You seem to be ignoring that someone may actually be innocent in some cases. You're sounding like an ambitious prosecutor yourself, or you just have too much faith that the system would never bring the wrong person to court.

> Courts aim for settlements in civil trials, and they aim for pleas in criminal trials.

Which, over time, turn into a perverse incentive structure because court time gets increasingly valued over justice and so plea deals become threats rather than offers.

Fundamentally, when presenting prosecutorial evidence that's not what it appears, my reaction, if I ever need to defend myself against such things, world be to further tie up the courts time by presenting evidence against the evidence and / or demanding a thorough explanation of the implications of what is being described as evidence. This could add literal weeks to every single case that goes to trial. The method of evidence collection would be on trial because there's so much trust lost due to, basically, lies on the part of law enforcement and prosecution in their pursuit of conviction as metric for success and promotion.
It's missing features that D3D11 had in 2009.

Compute shaders in particular are a huge feature that GL4.1 doesn't have.
LLVM sugar. Agreed indeed. Independence is good.

No problem with LLVM, but multiple implementations is healthy. And in any case I'd probably think it makes sense DMD came into existence alongside the idea of D first seeing Walter's experience (and well lack of LLVM back then).
I’m still looking for a concise term for “someone who claims to be an expert but immediately reveals beyond any doubt that they have no clue what they’re saying, simply by opening their mouth on the subject.”

Having Tesla engineers over to review Twitter code is definitely that. It’s ridiculous.
That's cool. Some projects do that, some do not.
Even something like that pay-for-pto plan seems so flirtatious with trouble. It’s not a move that’s in the fiduciary interest of Tesla shareholders, and mixing personal money into it might even make that more clear.

Elons got a large bench of people who cheerled this thing, ask Larry Ellison for some people who can go audit this thing over multi-months.
The irony is that nobody wanted to make a new production-quality implementation because, well, why bother if SQLite already exists and is that good? It's an issue that's always going to arise when some problem has one solution that is already adopted as a de facto standard by the industry - which is exactly the kind of stuff that ought to be stable and battle-tested enough to build formal standards on.

> Finally the authorities handed down a change to the system: the plaintiff and defendant would agree on two lawyers to conduct the trial. Then the judge would flip a coin, and one of the two would be assigned at random to each party.

This seems very interesting...I wonder what the game theoretic optimal strategy is and how the analysis would change if

1. the coin decides who picks first

2. the coin had a known bias

If Microsoft didn't mandate TPMs for hardware running Windows 11 (or kept Windows 10 supported in parallel indefinitely), then governments wouldn't be able to pass such a law without potentially bricking the computers of millions of citizens.

I'm not expecting Microsoft to make a moral stand against TPMs, but they could at least have accidentally been on the right side just by not mandating TPM support.

You have to look at the incentives, though. If a government passed this law, it would put huge barriers in the way of people developing innovative new Linux distros, especially if, in practice, every distro had to pay a "tax" to Microsoft to have their signing keys whitelisted by device manufacturers.

Even if Microsoft didn't see this as a way to stifle niche OSes, industry groups (of which Microsoft is a member) would push for such laws just to prevent "software piracy", and of course Hollywood would push for the laws to prevent "media piracy". That would in turn raise demand for mainstream OSes, because those would be the only ones that could stream movies and music.

So when I suggest that the government would mandate it, that's in the context of a political climate where big businesses often write and lobby for laws which make it difficult for smaller competitors to challenge them. Whether Microsoft does that lobbying publicly, or privately, or via proxies, is somewhat immaterial to my argument.
He doesn't come right out and say he thinks it wasn't true, but it's pretty obvious from the quote that he doubts it.

When the original teller doesn't believe his own story and the story flies in the face of everything we know about human nature and the story can be fully explained as a mom trying to shelter her son (which is very much human nature), I think we can go with "fake story" as the most likely hypothesis.
I was quite impressed with the FreieFarbe[1] presentation at Libre Graphics Meetup 2019. It is an open source service that actually does attempt to provide similar value as Pantone, not just the naming of sRGB colors. In particular, they've put nontrivial work into calibrating it to physical colorants.

Apple created the platform in which the apps run, and without which (or an alternative platform, which can and do exist) the apps could not exist. That has to count for something.

A similar example would be gaming consoles. The console makers definitely take a cut of all the games that are released on their platform

> Sometimes I’ll even open an issue seconds before writing the commit message, just to give myself something I can link to from the commit itself!

IMO generally an issue should precede an implementation - it should track future work to completion, not work that is already complete.

Creating a new issue and then immediately closing it is an anti-pattern, in the same way that creating a pull request and immediately merging it is.

Have you never seen startups that fire people right before their first vesting period cliff and therefore get them employed at a discount?

I've seen a number of those. In one case, the CEO fired the CTO right before the one-year cliff in order to get more equity, then invited them back on in an advisory role for 1/10th of the equity compensation. (they did not accept)
Watts is awesome. I sense lazy Millennial nihilism.
Definitely agreed. I think it also stems from laws that define explicit and measurable harm as the only types of harm. For false advertising and fraud, it usually requires proving that they was financial harm done as the result of the false statements. Because creating an environment in which fraud is cheap and easy doesn't count as "harm". Because false advertising doesn't count as "harm" in itself, even as imposes the burden of scrutinizing all claims from previously trustworthy sources.
What’s wild in my opinion is the unreasonable effectiveness of lobbying. Like $40k of lobbying can become $40 million is tax savings. I don’t understand why elected officials are so cheap to buy off.
I think what you’re saying is not untrue. But this isn’t that. There would be an entire process performed over many months (some of which should have happened during due diligence.)

Most of my work has an issue created at the start of the development process and closed with the final commit.

But occasionally I'll miss that step - maybe I dived straight in to fix a new bug without taking the time to open the issue first.

This are the cases where I'll open an issue at the last possible moment - on the basis that an open-and-shut linked issue is still better than a bug fix with no associated issue at all.
Indeed. A clean history can be helpful. And this is certainly context specific. In my experience it hasn’t been as useful as the cost to do so, so I’ve relaxed a bit on making my commits carefully.

An easy comparison is take a driver who's had three months of experience driving versus somebody with three years, they'll be a huge gap in proficiency. Now take the three-year driver and compare them against someone who's been driving for three decades, you're fine surprisingly there's very little difference in ability.

I'm also intrigued by the Bangle.js 2 (https://shop.espruino.com/banglejs2). The touch screen makes me a little nervous -- I'd prefer buttons, especially for outdoor activities -- but an open source OS is a very cool thing. Design seems a lot like the Pebble Time.

> What sort of business are you in where you can actually meaningfully predict which will be the most valuable opportunities and ideas that will come your way in the next three months?

I've got one foot in the pure software world and one foot in electronics hardware. I've worked with a number of startups, and some larger organizations and government.

The SaaS startup world is the exception here, not the rule. Virtually any business that is not "we're ready to pivot on a dime" SaaS should be able to plan 3 months out. Generally speaking, any kind of strategic initiative is probably going to take longer than that to roll out. If there's any kind of manufacturing involved then design, V&V, manufacturing, and QA are likely going to be running on at least 3 month cycles.

Sometimes things do pop up and it makes strategic sense to do a mid-quarter tactical shift to attack an extremely valuable lead, but that should be exceptional. Even in the SaaS world, people tend to jump on new "valuable opportunities" without really sitting back and assessing the cost of delaying everything else. This kind of organizational ADHD (one board member at a company called it "chasing butterflies") tends to result in a bunch of half-finished projects/products that all could have been valuable in their own right if they'd been run to completion instead of abandoned in favour of the next "golden opportunity".

This is true of all Agile methodologies adopted by corporations.

> The OODA loop has become an important concept in litigation,[2] business,[3] law enforcement,[4] and military strategy. According to Boyd, decision-making occurs in a recurring cycle of observe–orient–decide–act. An entity (whether an individual or an organization) that can process this cycle quickly, observing and reacting to unfolding events more rapidly than an opponent, can thereby "get inside" the opponent's decision cycle and gain the advantage.
Which is also weird, because it is a far better reason for an individual than for a corporation. An individual is limited to their own time and expertise, whereas a corporation is only limited by their willingness to hire additional workers and expertise.
