OP does not mention that he's employed by BaseTen, the company behind "Blueprint" (which is mentioned repeatedly in the blog post). I noticed the repeated mentions and did some digging to find this out.

Not cool, OP, not cool.

Hah! I saw your comment and was intrigued since I have been looking for a Christmas present for my brother and his 7-month old son. Then I looked at your bio and realised it was the book I'd bought for him last Christmas.

Thanks, it's such a great book!

What is your opinion about Microsoft Teams?
The real driving force for about the last 40 years--starting with PCs, then larger systems, and eventually almost everything--was integrated circuits using CMOS technology. CMOS process shrinks have been an incredible lever. Not the only one of course but a major one. The transistor itself was an incredibly important inventions of course but it's the ability to pack so many of them economically into a very small amount of space that really delivered on its promise.
In the long dark ago there was a program called 'crashme' which would generate and run random code from user space to see if it could cause kernel panics.

When I do not have to deal with silly frameworks and enterprise tooling I usually do things from scratch with the simplest tools possible. Which for me is vanilla JavaScript, Node.JS server, JS/Browser client, Nginx proxy, Systemd init. SCM on a SSH server.
> borg et al and "git commit" work in essentially the same way. Both scan the entire tree for changes using modification timestamps.

But git commit doesn’t do that. If you want to do that in git, you typically do it before

Firstly thank you for your time and effort on our behalf. We're grateful for your generosity.
Next, I totally agree we should probably have an internal version of listing info so users stay on our platform versus bouncing and then having to come back. Good insight.

I'll talk with the team about richer data as it furthers our SEO goals. I think the idea here would be that better engagement will improve our ranking? Is that correct?

The tricky part is getting impressions and clicks but this could help.
≥ cancel culture is driven by foreign influence operations?

I agree. It wanders into conspiracy theory, but it's the only rational explanation. Who would "complain" over a non-viral video with a random Apple executive quoting a movie as a joke? No one. It was a targeted operation to take advantage of Apple's reactionary corporate culture. And in fact, there are most likely agents within Apple working towards exacerbating it for China's advantage.

If I were him, I'd sue for wrongful termination and demand to see the entire email/slack/whatever chain which lead to the decision. Who was involved? What are their relations with China? How did this come to anyone's attention within Apple, and why did they decide to take it so seriously rather than a simple explanation and apology? There is soooo much more going on here.

I refuse to believe in the narrative that this is political correctness gone amuck, or that this guy was targeted because he was a white, middle aged Southerner. Knee-jerk liberals are great for standing outside courthouses with signs (bless their hearts), but they don't run major corporations. I live in the Bay Area and have met and like all kinds of crazyish liberals (and consider myself among them), and this doesn't make any sense or pass the smell test.

"He talked about fondling boobs!!! Fire him!!!" This isn't a meme. Something else went on here.
I love the data visualizations but I am always surprised to see so many different ones given how little use-cases they serve. They can broadly let people know where the power is coming for and help policy makers to a certain degree. They are just naturally interesting for a little bit while you explore but then drop off. It's almost like its most useful for exploratory data analysis and not a ton else

I'm curious if other people have interesting use cases here and how accurate is the data? Is this all people putting different layers on top of one source of truth for data - or patching together various sources?
The author was gently panned when this was originally posted on Reddit, and they added that note, but now that the article is being reposted uncritically where people may not know the difference, it's worth pointing out again. The way the author got a profile out of Miri is creative, but Miri was never a helpful guide for profiling, it seems that the second benchmark they used for confirmation was also unoptimised (run without --release which is a rookie mistake). Then they got wrong conclusions from flawed observations about the costs of abstractions like range.contains.
Thanks for the feedback. The "for CSS" is in reference to how CSS properties like the dimensions and border-radius are what determine the rendered effect. Also, there are additional custom CSS properties available to control even more aspects of the final look.

All my backups go, via rsync, to a dedicated backup server running Linux with a large hard disk. But I still lose sleep: what if someone hacks into my home network and encrypts the file systems, including the backup server? Other than taking the backup server offline, I don't see how I can protect myself from a full-blown intrusion. Any ideas?
This looks like work. Just get synching and stop complicating your life.
We submarined Kanban into a similar project at a large, old, waterfall company. It was such a silent conspiracy that to my recollection we never mentioned Kanban out loud. Limited Work In Progress was as close as we got to uttering the name.
It seems very important to you to believe that the lowest paid, most precarious and vulnerable workers choose that freely and are thrilled with it.

I think if you could find some curiosity about why they make those choices it might take you to interesting places, but I can't make you.

Given how well his "first strike" on Kyiv was executed he may have some work cut out for him.
In principle even that could be solved with better tools (source map files and the like), but I agree, until such tools are universally adopted we're probably stuck with having to work with and store the same formatted code.
As it is though correlating line numbers from production logs with current source is often an inexact science due to optimisations or difficulties retrieving the exact same version of the code that was used to produce the build (either because you can't find out the exact build number, or because the correlation between commit hash and build number got lost somewhere, etc.).

I think one other thing is missing. There's generally no way to review what a service or app does with the permissions it gets. There should be an access log for any API used through OAuth so you can ensure that what you signed up with is actually doing what it says it's doing with the permissions you've given it.

edit: And once there's an access log, there should also be a way for users to flag/report suspicious activity for review. There's so much more we could be doing to protect users.

And I think #2 and #3 is why #1 is true. Or put differently, my experience in changing processes in many places has convinced me that unspoken management dynamics are what really matter, and that most managers will resent any process change that makes the actual management dynamics obvious.

For example, one way to classify process changes is when they make problems obvious. E.g., a release-early, release-often approach makes problems visible early on. And I've had great luck with them on teams that are actually trying to succeed, because faster feedback means faster learning. But most organizations reject that because actual success doesn't matter nearly as much as managerial appearance of success. Many managers thus hate fast-feedback processes because they would rather hide negative information, even if that makes long-term success much less likely. But they like the appearance of success that comes with using the latest buzzwords. This results in the common pattern of the manager who talks Agile but whose projects are in effect waterfall.

One book really helpful to me here looks at the default ideology of current management: https://www.amazon.com/Confronting-Managerialism-Business-Ec...
I haven't had a mac in years. This was ~2010.
The tl;dr is webpack but better.

I'll admit I was cynical too, reinventing front-end build tools is the current day reinventing front-end frameworks, but after using it, it really is a hell of a lot better and easier to manage than webpack hell, I'd give it a try if it's the sort of thing that interests you.
> No one actually knows that FrAgile ... are universally better than just having a bunch of programmers self-organize.

Huh? The entire Agile Manifesto is about how programmers should just self-organize as they see fit and highlights some key areas that developers need to be consider in the absence of a manager who would traditionally coordinate things, such as "talk to the business people".
>Strictly speaking, terminal support is only something that to me makes sense for gvim and the like, otherwise you’re getting into terminal emulators all the way down.

Terminal is what allows plugins such as fzf.vim to work, I think it's amazing.

I only welcome the competition between vim and neovim, I think it's been a great improvement to the ecosystem.
Sure, someone will emerge. I've seen that scenario happen over and over. Will the result be good? No, not in a single case i observed because managing a software product is a distinct art which too many software developers believe goes naturally hand-in-hand with their coding skills.
While this is not specific to ChatGPT, it's a broad coverage of that space. A quote:

> First, no, this article wasn’t written by ChatGPT; that joke is already overplayed. But I did ask it to rebut the argument that large language models threaten our ability to understand reality and make decisions. It echoed a point that others have made: Large language models surface more ideas. They open up new creative frontiers and expand the “marketplace of ideas.” We all just need to become more critical and capable thinkers.
Co-founder here. We originally made the landing page in Webflow. This worked ok but had some negative SEO benefits because our main app was forced to be on a subdomain.

We remade the page using a Tailwind template, which coincided with migrating our app to Tailwind. I highly recommend just using a template unless you are a designer, plenty of free or low cost ones out there. I like these: https://cruip.com/

Most important thing is having a good CTA, value props, and testimonials. Took us a lot of work to refine these.

We also worked with a graphic designer to make the art assets / logo / etc. I'm sure she would be happy to have more clients, DM me (see bio) for info.
It's ok. Maybe I'm just not getting the retro charm. I'm still not sure I get vaporwave either.

It goes both ways, otherwise you are not critical and objective in your analysis
No. This is a category error. Confidence intervals apply to things that can be quantified. God (with a capital G) either exists or He does not. There can be no confidence interval associated with that, only an assessment of belief.

A polytheist could have a confidence interval on the number of gods (lower case g) that exist (e.g. "I am 90% sure that the number of gods is between 10 and 20"). But that is not typically what one is referring to when speaking of atheists and agnostics.
Copilot is AI IntelliSense. You still have to write code.

ChatGPT is an AI programmer (of limited skill, but still). You describe what you want in plain English and get a runnable program out the other side. You may or may not have to modify this program. It can also make changes to the program based on plain English descriptions.

North Korea has been demonized for so long that you can accuse them of anything, and everyone will believe it without question. A game that the USA in particular plays often and well, not only with North Korea.

Wind turbines are capital intensive and the entire cost is upfront. Once the turbine is built it makes sense to sell it at whatever the current market rate is. That could be really low or really high. The main purpose of government support is to give some certainty about being able to pay off the debt. But that support has become less neccesary as costs go down and wholesale prices go up. Arguably the main benefit of setting prices upfront in the long term is avoiding price spikes and encouraging cost reduction. But there are also risks in terms of the cost of servicing debt as interest rates rise.

How is that non-delimited? Spaces and parentheses are still delimiters. Non-delimited would imply fixed-width tokens, binary machine language would be one of the very few that qualify.

The process shouldn’t take years of course. Once a court no matter how minor finds you guilty, you are guilty.

Now, you might want to appeal that to the next instance which makes it take years. But a court has already found you guilty.

In this case the law if it was sane should stipulate that the business either stop the violation during the appeal or risk the fine for the whole period of the appeal process if it turns out after appeal that you were guilty of the violation after all.

Facebook should have to seriously consider whether it’s worth the gamble to both fund the appeal process and pay the accumulating fines (which, again if the law is sane, amount to more than what FB would lose by simply stopping the violation).
Then I'm sure you'd be happy to opt in to targeted advertising, and everyone else can stay safe.
> take for example 8chan if it still existed. Would you be ok with Gen Z going on there to inform themselves?

No - but I oppose usage of law to prevent this, at least in this way.

Either a site should be up, or it shouldn't. I know many Gen Z individuals with better critical thinking then some people of older gens and vice versa.

As long as a site is not actively promoting harm/hate[0], it should be allowed to argue for it's ideas (whether win or lose).

Thanks for clarifying.

I agree that the protectionist policies might have had some benefits for workers. However, they were primarily to the benefit of the landed gentry, and then industrial capitalists. Free trade reflects our switch to finance capitalism.

Marx made a similar point to yours: the interests of the industrial capitalists are more aligned with the workers than the finance capitalists, yet the industrial capitalists will choose finance over the workers.
When I was in college I sold discarded text books on half.com. This isn’t my best income stream, but in many ways it was my favorite.

After the Spring 2000 semester, I noticed that the bookstores had junk book bins. Students would dump into the bins any books that the bookstore would not buy back. Anyone was welcome to rummage through the bin and if they found something interesting they could keep it.

The bookstores wouldn’t buy books back if they knew that a new version had been released. They of course wanted to avoid being stuck with useless inventory. I wondered if these books had residual value elsewhere. I collected a few and took them home and started looking up them up on half.com. Sure enough, all of them had listings and lots of them were listed for 10’s of dollars!

For the next few days I made a continuous circuit around all the bookstores, loading my car with any books I found in the bins, and dumping them in my living room. At night I would list the day’s haul. Because my inventory was free, I always listed $1 lower than the cheapest listing.

I now had an inventory of several thousand books and a very irritated set of roommates, including my future wife. All I had to do was sit back and wait for classes to start somewhere in the world where one of these books might still be in use.

Within a week orders started to roll in. Soon I was heading to the post office daily with a huge load of books. Things would quiet down whenever a there was a lull in sessions starting. I’d replenish inventory as the various summer sessions completed.

Fall semester generated a huge bump sales and I was able to get a huge inventory of books when the semester ended. Unfortunately that proved to be the last semester of junk book bins. The stores got wise to what the kid in the beat up Honda was up to and started collecting the junk books for themselves.

I continued to sell what books I had and that went on for the rest of the time I was in school. After graduation my wife demanded that I chuck the rest. She’d had enough of random stacks of old textbooks.
Why then release people from jail or why not just kill them if after serving the sentence they are shunned from society.

Any methodology that requires discipline to work is a bad methodology. Trying hard ALWAYS works. That is how work got done before agile existed.

The goal is to find a methodology that brings ease. So you can stop putting effort into the organization and meta work and instead put more effort into the work that actually brings value.
I think people here might be missing something...

I think it's pretty clear to say the person was not fired for this, but this was used as the reason for sacking.

What baffles me is the precedence, the signalling, that sacking person for something like this is not just a dark joke.
As somebody who was very involved in the Agile movement early on (2000-2008 or so), I don't think Agile deserves the credit here. What I think actually happened was that the rise of the internet made faster release cycles both possible and necessary. Scrum rode that wave, saying that they had the solution. But most Scrum implementations I've seen are not what I'd call conscious, proactive process change. It's just a new set of labels for accelerated versions of the old behaviors (waterfall or code-and-fix or a mix), plus a revenue stream for consultants and a certification scam for everybody else.

I wrote more about that a long time ago, and still stand by it: https://williampietri.com/writing/2011/agiles-second-chasm-a...
You jest but fascism was and is super contagious.

The Nazis went from a fringe political movement to a solid minority voice (with 20% of the seats and about 33% of the vote). Then came the Reichstag Fire and heavy repression of opposition - getting them to 44% of votes in a “free” election. And then came the Enabling Act and there were no more votes.

What this saying means ultimately is that enabling fascism via silence makes people anti-democratic. It does not take many people passively sitting out of the way for authoritarian regimes to take power - and they are only removed by the bullet box not the ballot box.

I will note I can’t find the providence for this saying actually existing in post WW2 Germany and it is likely a modern invention. It is nonetheless a true sentiment of some of the soul searching German and other fascist ruled societies made after WW2.
