What setup would you recommend for systems that at some point are owned by a customer (but which you might still need to login to frequently; and you might need to access private repositories from)?
Ahem. You also cannot delay filing of insolvency because the law decides which marginal decision are allowed and which aren’t.
It's a shortcut because measuring output is too hard for any sufficiently complex work.

It's easy when you have a well-defined task that you know the average complexity for, e.g. first level support ticket responses. It's very different for e.g. the developer who looks into a ticket to find out why. Might be just 60 seconds because technical understanding + experience give you the ability to see what customer + support agents have missed. Might be 6 hours for a complicated bug and fix, might turn into a huge deal that takes days.

How do you handle that and accurately predict how much time that should take?
> You are taking money from productive people at gunpoint ...

I really think it would benefit libertarians to get away from this particular argument. It's applicable to everything. They're making me dispose of my trash in a receptacle at gunpoint! They're making me pick up my dog's poop at gunpoint! They're making me wear pants at gunpoint!

Of course, guns aren't involved unless things get bizarrely out of hand, but the same goes for paying taxes.
I'm part of Cooperativa Integral Minga in Montemor-o-Novo. We we're the first one in Portugal in the concept of Integral Cooperative (took some inspiration from Cooperativa Integral Catalana). In Portugal there's now a few coops based on the same general principles. Rizoma Coop In Lisbon, Regenerativa in S. Luís, Cooperativa da Terra in Aljezur, A Geradora in Trancoso, Coop. Cápsula in Leiria, Húmus in Madeira (in process of forming), Coop. AlmaOhana in Odemira and Estação Cooperativa also in Montemor. Feel free to get in contact if you want to know more.
The idea is that the workaround against the housing problems should not be the usage of clunkers.

So if the people who cannot afford a new or the fees, can start looking for an actual fix of the problems. Or they can blame computer elites I guess but I hope not.
With the cost of living crisis, this isn't going to help anyone. How does taking more money away from those with un-environmentally friendly cars help them afford to replace them?

What does this money go towards in terms of offsetting the environmental damage done by these cars? How would people feel if the money paid into these schemes went towards money off newer, more environmentally friendly cars?

I believe there was a government scheme for this, but I think it ended earlier this year.
There are some many problems with large SPA frameworks. These are basically risk mitigation strategies for large employers as architectures in a box. These frameworks mitigate some level of decision making capacity which supposedly eases hiring but really eliminates employer training and development of junior developers. That’s the biggest problem: low confidence people building shitty products that are unnecessarily massive in size and super slow. The employer saving money by eliminating training time and instead pushes the resulting costs onto its users with a shitty product.
> This is a word that is exclusively used by anti-carrists.

No, it is used by folks who like proper design:

> Streets: The function of a street is to serve as a platform for building wealth. On a street, we're attempting to grow the complex ecosystem that produces community wealth. In these environments, people (outside of their automobiles) are the indicator species of success. Successful streets are environments where humans, and human interaction, flourish.

> Roads: In contrast, the function of a road is to connect productive places. You can think of a road as a refinement of the railroad — a road on rails — where people board in one place, depart in another and there is a high speed connection between the two.

> Stroads: Stroads are a mash-up of these two types of paths. We like to call them "the futon of transportation" because, just as a futon is neither a particularly good bed nor a particularly good couch, a stroad is neither a particularly good road or a particularly good street.

People who use the word "stroads" want society to stop building stroads and go (back to) building streets and roads. See the ten-minute mark of the video you posted on how The Netherlands does it: stroomweg (highway), gebiedsontsluitingsweg (road), erftoegangsweg (street).

I did some checking and found it hard to get clear numbers. It seems that the majority of cars in London will be compliant but the majority of vans will not be, so business is affected over private households.

The scrappage ("upgrade") scheme applies to non compliant cars and vans, with a focus on low incomes, charity and small businesses, it starts in January and feels reasonably generous: https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/scrappage-schemes

The scheme pays more if you replace an ICE with an EV or take a public transport pass which further supports the goal of improving London's air.
As a London resident, parent and driver I'm strongly supportive of improving our air.

One of the reasons MuskStuff us getting boring us that he hasn't said anything real/significant regarding his intentions, strategies, motivations, analyses and whatnot.

There was an investor case/ business plan that could have been prepared by 19year old MBAs. There was some nonspecific media bait on free speech. That kind of noncontent is pretty typical for business comms, but it's not what Musk did before. With Tesla/SpaceX/neuralink/etc... Musk told us the strategic case. We knew what he was up to, what the main risks were, the goals the milestones, the reasons.

All commentary about Twitter is rooted in speculation and smartarsery.

Maybe what you describe (reboot) is what Musk's up to. We don't know. It's like taking sides in the abusive screaming session happening in the house next door.

> A database traversing a tree-like index cannot issue the next read until the previous one has finished.

This applies to a single point query in a single tree.

The latency is reduced by overlap in obvious ways as soon as you have (1) a range query because it can read multiple subtrees in parallel, or (2) a query that reads multiple indexes in parallel, or (3) multiple queries from the application to the database in parallel.

This is why it's useful to design applications to make multiple queries in parallel. Web applications are a great example of this. Most applications where I/O performance matters at all have some natural way to parallelise queries.

Less obviously, the interior blocks of a B-tree are a relatively small part of a B-tree. I.e. most of the space is in used leaf blocks. If the database's cache strategy gives preference to interior nodes, and even more preference to nodes closer to the root of a tree, often several interior layers of the tree can fit entirely in RAM and the effect is is to reduce the latency of tree lookups further once the cache is warmed up.

Then even in large databases (a few TB), the latency of a single point query is reduced to a one or two read IOPS (because the leaf page to read which contains the query result is calculated from in-memory data). The application-visible query time is very similar to the I/O subsystem's timing characteristics, and a few MQPS are achievable (= "million queries per second"). Not many database engines achieve this, because they were designed in an area where I/O was much slower, but the I/O architecture does support it.

Source: Wrote a performance-optimised database engine for blockchain archive data, which is extremely random access (because of hashing), in the multiple terabytes range, and the application is bottlenecked on how many queries per second it can achieve. It's like the ideal case for working on random-access I/O performance :-)
I share the exact same thoughts. a good PO is worth their weight in gold. PMs are often more of a detriment than anything. Developers should not be cornered off from customer needs, quite the opposite, they should be made intimately aware of them.

Not only is seeing customer struggles a strong motivator for why they do the work that they do, but it also helps with coming up with good solutions.

A poorly thought-out task list that needs 10 refinement sessions before it is actionable is very much not that.

That said, devs are not sales people, that's why the PO is there, and the PO could very well have "PM"-like people under him to handle the customer connections before getting devs involved, but that's different from the "PMs define user stories" approach I see everywhere.

The result of that is that the PMs end up in a managerial sort of role (the name doesn't help) where they boss around the PO who in turn bosses around the devs until they get fed up with the relationship and the dev lead starts pushing back, and the whole thing turns antagonistic.

Hmmm from the Dune documentary Holy Mountain was a “hit”, particularly in Europe. That’s why he got funding to work on pre production for a Dune film, hired multiple artists to work on it for a period of time etc.

The box office you’re quoting is from a re-issue. It says right there on the page.

Again if you watch the Dune documentary, it’s stated there that:
- holy Mountain did relatively well at the box office
- that led producers to fund concept stage for his next idea, Dune

If the documentary is innacurate I don’t know. But that’s there, from memory.
OK, presumably 'parasite' birds instinctively know the various species of birds that they can get away with the practice. Laying an egg in an osprey or eagle's nest would likely mean they'd end up as food.

In Bromley (which is also getting the ULEZ extension) the buses go pretty far into the sticks.

> Do you think electric cars are clean - their manufacture or energy?

You fundamentally misunderstand the issue at hand. This is about reducing local emissions, which you achieve by taking these measures. How a car is manufactured or the energy required to manufacture it is of no concern here, unless the plant would be in London of course.

> For better or for worse, modern CPU design is about doing things thread-unsafe by default. If the programmer recognizes a problem may occur, it is the responsibility of the programmer to put the memory barriers in the right place.

This so much.
I truly wish RISC-V had decided on the weak memory model (WMM)[0] that allowed load-value speculation in the absence of explicit `Reconcile` fences between dependent loads (i.e., when first loading an address from memory and then loading a value from that address, it can load an old value that was stored after the value's address was stored to memory, provided it speculated the value (of pointer-type) of the first load correctly and loaded from this speculated address before it properly executed the first load).

Not needing to repeat the load from a speculated address in response to that address getting a cache invalidation before the load that fetched the (correctly speculated) pointer "goes though" severs the cache snooping/invalidating feed to the reorder buffer(ROB).
Essentially, the difference to banning the dependent-load-load reordering is that WMM frees up the second load's ROB entry once the value speculation of the first load confirms, so when the first load instruction returns and affirms the value speculated for it, the second load can retire immediately with the first load to free up both ROB entries. The decoupling between an L2 invalidating other L2's and responding to another L2's read-request allows the "Invalidation Buffer" of an L2 to function similar to an L1's store buffer. So if L3 is implemented by just giving each core a large multi-bank L2 so the L3-slices are just the different core's L2s, write-congestion into an L2 through other cores all writing to the same bank is just buffered away (and redundant stores can be squashed/adjacent stores write-combined, useful if the writing cores specify they themselves don't want read access to the cachelines those writes target).

See this excerpt from the paper:
> Speculations: OOO can issue a load speculatively byaggressive predictions, such as branch prediction (Figure 3d),memory dependency prediction (Figure 3e) and even load-value prediction (Figure 3f). As long as all predictions relatedto the load eventually turn out to be correct, the load resultgot from the speculative execution can be preserved. Nofurther check is needed. Speculations effectively reorderdependent instructions, e.g., load-value speculation reordersdata-dependent loads. Since WMM does not require preserving any dependency ordering, speculations will neither breakWMM nor affect the above correspondence between OOOand WMM.

Yes, WMM is similar to Alpha, just that Alpha allowed a load from some address to be reordered after a store to a different address (which is forbidden in WMM).

> But would you give up all your access to anything modern, for the rest of your life, in order to have the power and influence that Rockefeller had? [...] no modern entertainment?

So let me get this straight, you would trade the power to shape the modern industrial world for the power to amongst other things, watch cat videos on demand?

Imagine, the power to end segregation fifty years earlier than before, the power to bring women's rights to the forefront decades earlier, the power to stand up for the oppressed, the sick, and the poor and actually have the elites in government and industry listen to you? To give that up so one can have cellphones and video chat?

It's possible that you do regard creature comforts to be of primary importance, but I'd ask you to reconsider. Rockefeller lived in the 1900s, not the Bronze Age. It's not such a downgrade from the current era that one should discount all that you can do with the power of being the richest person in the world. Don't you have any social causes you support?

Social conformity enforced through rigid Christian indoctrination, centralized media propaganda and racial segregation. It's easy to be nice to each other when everyone around you looks like you do, thinks like you do and agrees with your politics.

The breakdown of American social cohesion can be traced to at least three related factors - the deconstruction of white supremacy due to the increase in political and cultural power of people outside the white, heteronormative Christian conservative complex, the internet decentralizing mainstream, corporate controlled media as a means of propagandizing and reinforcing the consensus narrative of American exceptionalism, and late capitalism destroying a lot of consumer social interaction like going to the movies, dance halls, etc - because many people no longer have the time or money to engage in physical interaction with other people outside of the workplace, whereas the internet offers forms of interaction that are relatively free.

You'd think so but if people are playing video games or not working, adding monitoring won't increase your productivity, people will just do pointless busywork instead.

Cutting down the number of people will make everyone else more productive because they need to pick up the slack, but that doesn't mean the output will be higher quality, it will very likely be worse quality since you've taken a bunch of relaxed people and made them highly stressed.

To me it sounds like a failure of management and/or processes. The people are not motivated and their tasks are not being defined appropriately.

> They pay eventually, but late to improve cash flow.

I‘ve never understood this. If you stretch creditors out to say 120 days, then you only gain the difference in value between the amount owed today vs the same amount in 4 months, which is next to nothing. Once you’ve stretched a creditor to their limit, your payments occur at the same frequency as they would if you didn’t stretch them. So it provides a very marginal one-time benefit, at the cost of pissing off companies you need.

I mean, stretching creditors will make your bank balance look fatter, but it doesn’t mean anything because the trade creditor liabilities will remain on your balance sheet, and it’s your balance sheet that counts. Of course, it might be desirable to have cash in the bank if you’re sailing close to the wind, but you’ll be sailing close to the wind when those debts become past due, too.
