1) You gotta play the hand you're dealt.

2) You need to be able to flip back & forth between the very big picture and the individual view.

3) The narrative is constructible, and being able to flip back & forth between individual and societal and cosmic views helps you construct the narrative with better perspective.

Cosmic level: we're all gonna die and the vast universe will barely notice. But we're as much part of the universe as Mars and the Sun and the Andromeda galaxy.

Individual level: my coworker got a promotion does that mean I will not get a promotion. Also I notice I'm being treated differently at work because of my demographic characteristics.

Play the hand you're dealt and create a better narrative for yourself: my coworker's promotion demonstrates that promotions can be gotten. Here are the ingredients that went into their promotion. These are things I can do (I can construct a parallel network of champions at work, I can position myself as a complementary force whose promotion will also benefit the company). Here is the reality of the situation. This situation will either play out to my advantage, or not. Here are ways I can change the situation entirely (get an outside offer, switch groups). What's worth doing?

You can ~never escape society's context: if you're not socially fluent, or not attractive, or an immigrant, or abnormally attractive, or whatever, that's all what it is. But people "like you" have succeeded, for almost any value of "success" you choose. So what do you want and how can you get there?

Life is like Mad Libs. It's a random collection of stuff that you need to assemble into a narrative. The narrative is yours to construct. Too many people think it is set for them.
Is this a rejection of the cogito?

I love when someone is applying in a commercial space, has a concerned person angrily demand to know whether it is Roundup, and says 'its not Roundup, it's glyphosate'.

With the concerned person perfectly happy with that explanation.
Users get value out of sending tokens, holding stablecoins, and interacting with smart contracts. The price can go up or down but who cares, if they are using stable tokens or just using ETH to pay gas fees. They might be happy to part with a small amount, paying whoever is facilitating the transfers and helping run the network.

Just like how payment processors work like PayPal. They take a cut on each transaction. The difference with validators in a blockchain is that it’s permissionless.. Anybody in the room can participate and capture a % of these transaction fees.

The layout and aesthetic choices of the site/content is really pleasing and it has references. Nice job, T.
I don't see where that article provides any evidence for "The person who attacked Pelosi's husband was a leftist.", if anything it suggests the opposite.

Edit: ok, spent the few minutes tracking down an archive copy of the mentioned blogs, and ranting about "climate hysteria", "why colleges are becoming Cults", "communism is a revolution sponsored by wallstreet" and "Groomer schools" doesn't seem like usual leftist talking points.
> Btw, I still see one problem of official SQLite solution — it requires COOP to use

Only for the OPFS support, because any solution involving hiding an asynchronous API (OPFS) behind a synchronous one (sqlite) requires it because the "await" keyword in JS is "viral": it can only be used from global-scope code or from functions which are themselves flagged as "async", and flagging a function as "async" changes its return semantics in ways which are fundamentally incompatible with C code. Any solution to that problem in JS requires SharedArrayBuffer and the Atomics APIs. WASMFS's OPFS implementation has the same limitation, despite being implemented in native code.

(That said: there is some talk among those who know better than i of modifying WASM to be able to accept Promises as return values, and returning the resolved promise value to C. i don't think it's possible because promise _rejection_ cannot pass through C code, but folks who know better than i seem to think it can be done.)

If you don't need OPFS support you don't need COOP/COEP. (Citation: i'm the sqlite js/wasm developer and have had this discussion with Google's OPFS folks.)

You're right. A total "P&L" of the hybrid solution (fossil+renewable) vs. the fossil fuel only solution is what's needed to make a fair economic comparison.

Of course, there are other important non-economic considerations.

I know Don Reinertsen and I did his training workshop a years ago.

The thing is, you can’t take a set of principles (which his stuff is) and then claim that rolling out your design (a different beast entirely) means that the poor customer is following them too. Ok you can try, but it wouldn’t be true.

FWIW I’m the author of one of the better-known Kanban books. Plenty of Don’s influence in that world too (a good thing), not that I’m active there now
California high speed rail (the only real attempt at high speed rail in the US) didn’t need Musk to kill it, it killed itself due to incompetence in building quickly and affordably. This is a shame, because an actually affordable, working high speed rail system in America would be amazing, but won’t happen until we learn how to build again quickly and affordably in America. And who knows how to do that? Elon Musk!
Facing the fact that ideas are ten a penny, it makes sense to see what

a good idea

a good implementable idea

a good implementable idea whose time has come

an invention (the concrete verification of an idea)

a design ( a workable invention)

a potential product (reproducible/manufacturable design)

a potentially profitable product

a marketable and profitable product

a marketable, profitable product, backed by money and good luck
Family lived in a suburban area with black bear. They appeared to sometimes challenge us for territory as they would leave scat in the center of the front lawn. Bear scat is unmistakable.

When they're too comfortable around humans, it's a dangerous situation and unfortunately requires open carrying a .357 or 5.7 outside. Animal control won't relocate them until they cause a problem. If someone won't defend their family's or their own life, that's their responsibility and lack of preparedness.

> Shutting nuance out of a discussion will mislead us.

Frequently, lobbying is used for corruption. The insinuation that nuanced perception can somehow alter this dynamic, is not compelling.
Wow, this is the kind of comment I come to HN for. Thanks for this. There are a lot of vocal SAFe detractors, so it’s nice to hear about why it could actually be good.
It is absolute not a low level detail, it is a huge part of your application and cannot be ignored.
Lobbying is fine. The problem with the US is you can literally buy votes in the legislature. That's because the legislator's individual votes were made public via sunshine laws. As long as you keep those votes visible they can be bought no matter how much indirection has to be introduced.

The alternative is a secret vote. Now only passed/unpassed legislation can be bought. This is a lot more expensive and requires a conspiracy, but it's a lot harder to hold the people in this conspiracy directly accountable since they can always plausibly deny how their vote was cast. I've yet to see another better solution for getting rid of the money to vote pipeline.

Personally I am very surprised you think some of these held up: pos mental attitude, writing things down, value of mba, and - most especially - almost anyone can do anything.

OK then please allow me to give you a recent example of ALL 4 OF THESE that made my (Fortune 50) employer hundreds of millions of dollars in real profits...

I built specialized supply chain software that did what nothing else (including SAP and JDA) could do. It supported 10,000 daily orders in 240 warehouses.

Our Big 4 Accounting Idiots spent 9 months and $2 million to conclude that it could not be done. I knew better because my users knew better. (I had already earned my own worthless MBA and had worked as an employee for the same Big 4 firm years prior and knew their weaknesses, which were not hard to spot.)

3 different divisions could not agree on anything. I just pulled them together in the same room at corporate headquarters until they got to know each other and hammered out a good design.

I built the prototype in 6 weeks because I knew I could. I got buy-in from the people that mattered because it's what they wanted in the first place.

12 offshore programmers built production ready software in less than a year. Everyone else had given up on them and their giant firm because of previous failures but I knew better. I never met any of them, in person or online (because of the time zone difference). Everything was written down. That's the only way this could have been done.

The 20 items I presented in my original post are solid gold. Not because of me. But because I learned from brilliant mentors.

Personally I am very surprised that you are are very surprised. The tech only takes us so far. I was lucky to have mentors who taught me the soft stuff too. Their advice changed my life much more than any tech advice.

Hope this helps. :-)
> I think of that as a very different loss

Well you shouldn't. Your net worth is measurably different because it's all liquid. It's a cognitive illusion if you're thinking of them any differently. And if you're making a big financial decision like whether you can afford a bigger house, I sure hope you're treating them the same.

And at the end of the day even the nominal value of cash isn't what matters -- it's the real value. Inflation and even currency fluctuation change the real value of what your cash can purchase daily, so the value of your cash is changing too. (The only difference is that cash fluctuations are usually slower and more gradual, and that contracts about future payments are generally denominated in currency rather than equity, but of course not always.)
Your perspective is perverse. the onus should not be on citizens to be informed about every possible toxin and regularly take action. This is victim blaming 101.
You're joking right? Where do you think all the innovations are coming from? Stable Diffusion? Dalle? GPT? They're all deep neural nets.
I view the implementation of SAfe anywhere as a huge red flag. To me it suggests that the decision makers read about Agile and what it proposes and decided that for whatever reason they don’t want it, in its unfettered form it scares them, or they don’t understand how to adopt it. As someone who prefers working in Agile workplaces, that tells me all I need to know.

As Chinese workers immigrated into America, they opened opium dens here too.

Then, the opium poppy, a plant not endemic to the Americas, started being cultivated in Mexico. Why Mexico? because the US banned Chinese immigration.

We cannot ever blame the drug crisis on the British because it breaks the rules of history where history is written by the victors. We have to let people get away with stuff. We cannot describe the EIC as narcos, and if someone does, we have to downvote them.
At my last company we used SAFe and I was blown away at how effective it was. Once a quarter, we had a 3-day event in which the entire next 3 months were planned out, with dependencies between teams, with wiggle room/flexibility, by the end of the event.

I understand this can depend on how well it's implemented, but in my experience I've never seen anything like it before or since.
The wisdom of the founding fathers of the U.S. impresses me. They didn't all agree on solutions and they didn't all agree on what was a problem. But together they chewed through a lot of tangly weeds.

Many people think the foundations of the U.S. are outdated and ill-informed of modern society. Most of those people are poor students of history. The U.S. founders were not poor students.

Regarding lobbyists and special interests in politics, the founders were not the least bit ignorant. In the end they settled on a clever mechanism to control them. The answer to special interests is special interests.

It might be argued that some special interests have escaped containment. Big oil is too big? But Biden just sent massive funding into solar and batteries and electric vehicles. Big chemical is too big? Trump gutted EPA? What about Big Pharma? Well, any system is going to have pendulums, and none of them will be perfect. But can they self heal? History suggests the current system is pretty good at that even if any given moment seems a bit off-kilter.

I'm not opposed to exploring other options. But to improve requires a recognition of the weanesses and the strengths of alternatives. Don't be too quick to dismiss the strengths of the current alternative.
Just to point out why your statement is misinformed, your tablet turns from a desktop to a phone when you rotate it.

I've been designing web frameworks from the ground up since 1995. Two sizes is not how it works. You don't read the initial size of the browser window, or parse the device data to see if it's mobile, and decide from there which of two layouts to draw (mobile or desktop). You read it on the fly and redraw as necessary. All parts of the interface and the content working together.

Bootstrap, for instance, has xs, sm md lg xl classes and mixins. Often you don't hide interface elements but simply resize them. Font leading and size may change 20 times subtly as you resize a window.

If you don't believe me, load any major website in a desktop browser and play with resizing the window from narrow to wide.
People also severely overestimate the cost of battery storage today, and underestimate the cost curve of how it's decreasing.

For example, for batteries charged directly from a paired solar installation, the cost is estimated to be $85-$158/MWh. [0] The rest of the solar instal costs $28-$37/MWh, unsubsidized. If 3/4 of energy consumption is from the primary solar install, and 1/4 from storage, then you have a firm energy source at a cost of $42-$67/MWh. The national average for generation cost of electricity is something like $50-$60/MWh, (with the rest of the average price of $130/MWh going to transmission and distribution).

So today, solar plus storage offers cost competitive, zero carbon energy in the average US location. And costs are going to drop by 50% over the next decade or two.

We have a really bright energy future, where energy is cheap and plentiful and carbon free. And the faster we build new renewable resources, the faster the technology gets better, and the faster the prices drop.

Slowing down the deployment of renewables is a huge risk that makes us all poorer, and also happens to make our climate challenge worse. We should be doing everything we can to massively expand solar wind and battery production capacity and deployment, as fast as possible.

The tech is ready, it just needs to be deployed.

Always excited to hear news about Bcachefs, can't wait for it to hit upstream!
I somewhat feel the opposite about context - I'm not sure there's a better way to get context rapidly than to try to fix bugs. It's a targeted investigation into existing functionality, which helps a lot compared to many other sorts of tasks.

So if you have a module with a bunch of bugs, I could see throwing a contractor at them - after the first couple they'll probably move pretty quickly.

On the other hand, if your bugs are scattered completely separately, then sure, that's gonna be a bad time.
> first, he will state a statistic and follow up with an opinion, and when challenged he will reply that it’s not his views it is simply statistics.

I think you will have to give an example.

> The second, and much more egregious crime, is that he’s a climate change denier and proposes appeasement towards Russia.

Those are opinions, not crimes. And I don't believe he denies climate change, but rather many of the proposals designed to combat it are causing more harm than good, e.g. Germany unilaterally deciding to decarbonise whilst relying on Russian gas.
Do they not have lobbying in say Germany?

You can even have a middle ground. Make all votes secret, up until two months before someone's seat comes up election, then reveal all their past votes. Give voters information while reducing the window that lobbyists can use to buy votes.
This post is classic SAFe and SAFe-certified trainer talk:

* It starts by stating "I'm a SAFe consultant now, but at heart I'm a developer just like you!",

* It conflates what SAFE says it does (continuous deployment; empower developers; responsive teams) with what it PRESCRIBES (coordinated release trains; process over people; commitment to long term deliverables up front),

* It speaks to the executives and management that will decide to adopt SAFe, not the developers who will need to somehow work within it,

* It somehow promises to combine bottom-up agile with top-down date-based delivery commitments then hand-waves away the collision of these intractable approaches,

* It pleads that SAFe is not heavy weight even though all SAFe offers is hundreds of pages of process and rituals,

* It attacks anyone who is concerned or unwilling to do SAFe, as obviously they'r the ones with a vested interest in not adopting SAFe,

* It presents the straw-man argument that the alternative to SAFe is teams that can't coordinate,

* It concludes that if you didn't see all the supposed benefits from SAFe, "you did it wrong",

* Like SAFe itself,it's long, full of platitudes, self-promotional and in the end leaves you ready to surrender just to make it stop.

Question for the group: Do you know anyone who's livelihood doesn't directly depend on adopting or enforcing SAFe who is a big booster?

My favorite SAFe quote:

"SAFe uses agile like a drunk uses a lamp-post: for support, not illumination".
Depends what you mean by "popular". seL4 [1] is formally verified, open source and is used as baseband firmware in millions of phones, among other uses. Google just recently started an embedded OS based on it as well.

CompCert [2] is a formally verified optimizing C compiler.

Most formal verification happens in compilers or low-level mission critical systems due to the cost.

I think I have a bit of an issue with your overconfidence on this.

There's no proof of this it seems, while I agree it's one of many hypothesis, I find it crazy that you can jump from the hypothesis to conclude it's true just like that.

How do you simply dismiss all the other possibilities and compounding factors? There was a never seen before global pandemic, there was major disruptions in production and sourcing of goods, there was a major attrition and rotation of the labor force, there's the conflict with Russia, there were dramatically overvalued stocks, there was a trade war, there was a ton of people that died, etc.

I'd be suspicious of anyone who claims they just know the truth here, follow your guts isn't a proven way to determine what's really happening. I need some more proof, a simulation model, some actual experiments, etc.

The intuition of experts is often more likely correct, but economists are very divided here, to me it still feels like we don't know the cause of the inflation, we don't properly understand why it's happening and how to fix it.

Another aspect that's also been bothering me is that it isn't clear if inflation is a problem or not. Say it was caused by too much money having been injected, ok prices go up, but everybody has extra money, so it evens out, and doesn't really mean anyone is worse off.

Inflation doesn't really seem like it necessarily implies people are worse off, especially from the point of view of: would that person had been worse off if they'd have been evicted from their home during the pandemic and lost their job and not been given out support? Or are they worse off having had that help to make it past that and now have to deal with some inflation?

Especially assuming the inflation is due to increase money supply.

Like I just feel the actual effects of inflation are also not clear.

If inflation is driven by a loss of jobs, lack of goods, and difficulty sourcing materials, that's bad, even ignoring the inflation that's bad. If inflation is caused from too much money but there's still enough jobs, goods, and sourcing is easy and cheap, is that bad?
I give you money and legislation. You push that legislation through. When you retire, we hire you with a fat salary for doing little.

Yeah, it's bribery.
Does anyone have a fix for this so I'm not vulnerable for the next week?
Yes. The more I relinquish the illusion that I can control others, and step back from the impulse to do so, the more I'm able to simply love them. Warts and all.
Genetic modification isn’t a bull in a china shop. The glyphosphate resistance gene replaces the shape for one enzyme. You don’t have a whitelist for every substance in every lifeform you eat, the number of things out there is mindbogglingly enormous. It would be very simple to test the human reaction to this new enzyme, i bet it’s been done but i don’t want to search for it.
