> Fertility rates in the US cratered after 2008...These women would probably have more kids if it was easier to have a single income household...Our education system and economy, in particular, causes people to spread out and move away from family.

You might as well talk about how women might raise their children on Mars. Outside the Amazon jungle, for the past 10000 years women have been raising children under class-based society under class-based relations of production. The ruling class makes decisions about production, that's the point of a class-based society. Thus the world is turning into a place where the purpose of women's fertility is reproduction of labor, not an increase of it. The ruling class prefers two educated, productive children to three or four less educated, less productive children.

It doesn't matter what working class women want in terms of children, because this is a class-based society, and the ruling class has things aligned to what is good for them, not her.
It is revolting to read that people are considering, what if we arbitrarilly take away intrinsic rights of a person?

Well, if you can question innate right in this situation, maybe you can question them in other situations too? Then do we even have rights, to parenting, family life an others?

Yeah, it's more about equity than salary. Founders and very early team members should be sleeping in the office, sure, because their mission, company and personal fortune is on the line. But don't expect a junior engineer who was employee #150 and has no significant skin in the game to give a shit. The "but it's a startup!!" line isn't going to fly unless my personal stake is measured in whole number percentages.

Aviation needs to modernize, I have zero sympathy for the aviation community getting constant hallpasses on ancient altimeters that lack filters to reject RF from nearby frequencies, leaded avgas, and abysmal working conditions for those stuck in the industry.

The FAA dragging their feet in the USA trying to act like they should never have to test how interference affects hardware on planes is insane, they waited till well past when 3.5Ghz went into cellular use to make any effort to performance test altimeters for band conformance. The FCC's timelines are long, the FAA had at least half a decade heads up of when the 3.5Ghz auction would occur, and additional time after the auction before Verizon and AT&T put the spectrum into service.

We have waited 25 years past when everyone else stopped using leaded gas to get rid of leaded Avgas[1].

As a Seattleite who grew up with families made up of Boeing Engineers, the problem of vulnerable radio transmissions from aircraft could be resolved with a network of reception sites just like Gogo uses at a much higher frequency allocation. This problem is just not a priority for the Aviation community, they would rather not invest in better equipment and infrastructure.

A lot of such "predictions" tend to have come from non-experts, either misunderstanding experts or working on their own (and some deliberately misrepresenting experts in an attempt to discredite them). Usually when you look into them they were not expert consensus at the time. (That said, we are doing better than some of the 'worst case' predictions made previously, as those predictions assumed a rate of growth of emissions which did not happen).

Ask HN: How do the recent tech layoffs affect salaries in the job market?
I'm a complete economics n00b. I'm wondering if the flood of layoffs is enough to drive salaries down? Assuming the number of engineers is constant between pre covid and current, is the influx of talent back to the market enough to drive salaries down?

If engineers are constant and opportunities are constant? What are some strategies for reasoning about this using sound economic principles?

Taking a stab at it, based on really nothing. If the number of candidates and opportunities are constant, than the market could absorb everyone fine, but I don't think this is the case. I believe that covid created more opportunities, so more opportunities and same amount of workers created a scarcity of workers driving salaries up. With the recession opportunities are shrinking, but workers are staying constant, trigger a return back to pre-covid salaries??

Anecdotally, I saw an increase ~25% pre covid to peak covid for my market and role!! It's hard to imagine that this is still the case with the current influx? WDYT?

Thank you!

This is my article, I am a little surprised to see it posted here, its a bit half baked. Yes, it's Boundary-rep not Binary-rep. The timings are a bit stupid, more of a reflection of me approaching the modelling wrong. I re-did the OnShape and FreeCAD models after watching a video of someone solving it in Solidworks, and it took me about 20 mins for each. This hasn't changed my opinion on the different programs, OnShape is good, FreeCAD is pretty good if you learn to live with it, and Solvespace is interesting, but not nearly as powerful as either.
Because they propose policies that are pretty mild compromises. If you think what they're proposing now is "anti-business", then I can only guess you haven't seen any policies that are aggressive in decreasing CO2 emissions.

For multi-server situations, using Arista's Tap Aggregation (TapAgg) architecture is a popular solution for splitting up network packets after doing a optical fibre tap on the network connection:

To be fair, crypto as a technology has some merit. I think IPFS and Filecoin (Helium?), count for something more than a Ponzi scheme (as their primary goal is not simply being a store of value). It’s when crypto tries to replace all of finance buoyed by nothing other than people’s interest in crypto that stuff hits the fan.

This is agile.

This is simply dysfunction.

You're contrasting process heavy vs process light, not agile vs. an alternative methodology.

When people contrast agile against something, it's typically the waterfall method of design. And you'd know that if you saw it. (Interviews, design docs, stakeholder sign offs, etc. before any code happens.)
I really only operate on L7 most of the time, so pardon me if this is a dumb question: is there some form of TCP rate limiting that could happen at the switch level? WAF? Can policy be applied for the slow path?

How exactly are you defining agile? Scrum is not agile, are you advocating for waterfall? Because the type of project management doesn’t dictate the number of meetings, waterfall development would be slow lengthy involve lots of meetings and you May not even start coding until months of requirement gathering. I’m not even saying “you’re doing agile wrong” I’m just not sure what you mean by agile.

> My current company spends 4 out of 8 hours every day in meetings.

I hate to pull a "no true scottsman", but absolutely nothing about that is being agile.
The manifesto says nothing about cargo culting various ceremonies, in fact quite the opposite.
From being in various companies, I can tell you that they each had their own definition of what "agile" is. Your company happens to be that there's plenty of meetings to "communicate" what's happening. We are agile, and don't feel at all what you're describing.

I think ideally, agile should be where you put outcome over output, that's it. And I think that's the correct way of thinking when it comes to wanting to deliver the best product.

> My current company spends 4 out of 8 hours every day in meetings

Here's your problem. The rest is just measuring the symptoms and attaching labels to them, but the disease itself is clear. It's not about "agile". I don't know what is called "agile" in your organization, but whatever it is, the theory is not the problem. The implementation you have is.
Well, for one you're definitely being hyperbolic. Half of every day in meetings is worse than the worst agile shop I've ever seen by factor of 10. Also, agile doesn't require any meetings ever. Scrum recommends a cadence of specific meetings which should add up to maybe 2-4 hours per week, but I consider that approach only necessary for immature teams. Also, agile doesn't promise faster delivery. There's no way to project manage your way to faster coding. The only critical principal is iterative improvement meaning that you deliver features to full quality in priority order. The idea is to always have a stable main branch and be able to accurately measure progress even when priorities change. The value is for the team knowing exactly what's expected of them at any given time and for stakeholders to see exactly what is and isn't done at any point. Teams and developers will always run at different paces for different projects. Good agile process is about visibility.

That's a load of baloney, man

Those FAANGs are still pulling in a million or three per engineer per year, and there's still a very limited number of engineers who can operate at that scale. That's why Google pays $400k+, not because of cheap interest rates or greed or anything like that
Agile isn't one thing and isn't gonna fix a bad team, and does nothing to address problems with management. I have had great successes with forms of it, but that doesn't mean that it's the best fit for every team.

That sounds like a reasonable hypothesis. I don’t know if that is being (or was ever) tested at Twitter.
I intended for it to be an obviously farcical comparison. Wordplay, if you will. The word lived is part of the 'punchline' that spending 18 hours somewhere is comically different than 18 years, as you point out, even if it did feel like a lifetime...
Someone doing it for experience will do it just for that, so junior engineers are ok. But don’t expect someone with 30 years experience building companies and complex tech and kids in college to come and take you to the next level. Taking a 70% haircut for nothing isn’t plausible. And you don’t need to sleep in the office and kill yourself to build amazing software fast and grow a business. Only kids getting started think that works. After multiple 36+12 stunts in my first startup, which was in fact wildly successful, I realized that after 10 hours I wasn’t doing anything valuable. I was spinning my wheels and burning myself out. Now I can do much more in 6 hours of work a day.
The easiest and likely most effective method may be to compute vector embeddings using a sentence transformer model, and find nearest neighbors among these vectors for all articles in the set. The distance between the nearest vectors will give you a degree of similarity between the articles. You'll need to figure out some thresholds on these distances to figure out what are near copies vs different articles on the same story. There are efficient methods to find approximate nearest neighbors among a large set of these vectors - available as both OSS and SaaS. Faiss [1], ScaNN [2], and Pinecone [3] are some examples.

This is one of the methods mentioned in the article. I don't have implementation experience with the other string distance measures in the article (under "normalized string" in the table), except for Q-grams. Compared to the above method Q-grams don't scale as well and are not as robust because it doesn't encapsulate an understanding of the semantics of the text.

I hear that you're angry, and agile certainly has issues, but the things you're angry about aren't agile issues, they're just a broken process that someone has told you is agile.
They were never legally determined to be public squares, and that's a good thing, because that would be an eminently stupid decision to make about an institution that will be about as relevant to American life as drug store soda fountains in 10 years.

I feel for you, but this is really "not Agile". The point is shipping working software every sprint, and during the sprint you are not supposed to be interrupted until Sprint demo.

It's on the so-called Product Owner to prioritize what's next sprint, projections, etc, and a Scrum Master is supposed to help protect you from distractions.

I've done this style of agile before, and it's great. However the issue is many mgmt types still only caring about when "all of this will be done?", and also teams and people which can't think incrementally.
Server side rendering is interesting because Bevy uses GPU apis for rendering, and finding servers with GPUs is harder. But we do support "headless" rendering to images without a window, and there are CPU-only shims that implement GPU apis.

As for the web-based scene editor, Bevy is perfect for that scenario. We already have good WASM support, and we'll be building our own scene editor directly in Bevy.
I can almost promise TC will go down on average over at least the next year unless there is a miraculous recovery in the tech sector (as it did signficantly this year already, as I was one of the FAANG folks who saw my pay get cut a huge amount). There's a reason layoffs are happening and hiring freezes. There's also a simple supply/demand aspect here, they have very little demand when hiring is frozen.
Are you intentionally ignoring the large Native American population in some of those states?

You seem to be conflating excess meetings with agile. I'd consider my team pretty agile, in that we closely collaborate with our customers and deliver early and often. Seems like you do that too.

I think you might be getting pressure to change the way you work by folks that don't perform. That sucks; I've been there. Hopefully the pressure turns into nothing, because that's generally been my experience. Precisely because the folks applying the pressure don't get things done, and that includes changing the way you work.
Generalizing methodologies is hard. What works for a 5 people startup might not for a few thousand multi-decade company. Or even for another 5 people startup with different culture.

> My current company spends 4 out of 8 hours every day in meetings

This doesn't have anything to do with agile. You can run "agile" with as little as an hour of meetings a week if you want. Planning, retro, refinement in one weekly, async standup in Slack. You can bring standups in person, have them daily or less frequently, adjust the frequency, change your sprints from 1 to 2 weeks.

Even the heaviest weight version of this I can imagine (daily 30 min standups, 1 hour planning, 30 min retro, weekly sprints) adds up to 4 hours total for the week. So what you're describing is 80% something beyond that.

> taking 2 weeks and 4 meetings with 10 developers on each call just to deliver a simple list-filter feature fit in?

This sounds like you've moved from smaller company to bigger company and are noticing things move slower, though correct me if I'm wrong.

Either way, these are the questions: Why does the feature actually take two weeks to build? Are there more factors beyond the team? Larger scale? More testing / QA needed than pushing out to prod? Just plain worse developers? Bad PR practices that delay the feature? These factors again are nothing to do with "agile".

Another person asked this well, but really you've offered no notes on what your old team did differently that was not "agile". What's the alternative that people are missing?

After benefiting from the fed money printer for the last 15 years you can now see the VC class starting to panic.
