Next time someone tells me at a job interview that they use "scrum", I will ask them two questions:

1) do you have retrospectives, and what typically happens there?

2) have you ever changed anything, as a result of the feedback given by developers at the retrospective? please provide a specific example.

If they say "no" to either of these questions, it is the bad kind of scrum.

If they say "yes", and give any non-bullshit answer to the second one (for example "we had 2-week sprints but then developers changed it to 3-weeks" or vice versa; the exact details are not important), it has a chance to be the good kind of scrum.

If someone says "we don't do retrospectives, because they are a waste of time", they are kinda right, but for the wrong reasons. The retrospective is where developers provide feedback about the process, and can choose to change it. If you have a strictly top-down managed company with zero developer autonomy, in such case having retrospectives is indeed a waste of time, because no matter what the developers might say, nothing ever changes as a consequence. But that doesn't mean that the retrospectives suck; it just means that the company sucks.
I assumed it would be to do with this: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Bootlicker - as in, you are being criticised for apparently siding with people that you should more correctly see as your oppressors.

It is always possible I have misunderstood the point too.
My colleague are still using KNL cpus on Stampede2 to run molecular dynamics simulations. They are just “cheap” in terms of job accounting, because there unloved because they are old and cannot catch up with state of art AMD cpus today. Butter they have a shorter queue for it also.

But it is very interesting to see that these CPUs’ optimizations for high throughput by adopting near-die MCDRAM. This strategy is very similar to what we see in Apple’s M1 series chips today.

Here is an easy one. Paying for food when there are power outages.
What are you talking about is problem that you are committing to to much in sprint, thus, your velocity is inaccurate. If I can give you a piece of advice: not finished items should be marked as 0 work done and moved to next sprint, and thus it will affect your team's velocity in future sprints making you commit to less items, which should result in that eventually you will have real velocity of the team and you will know how much work you can complete in each iteration. Of course opposite is also true - with time you can get knowledge or improve codebase in such way that your velocity will go up.
I got very excited at the premise and the first few slides, thinking someone was going to talk about what a secret weapon vanilla JS is for productivity...only to find out they're advocating use of a front end library much larger than react or Vue.

At this point I'm getting a bit tired of backend people claiming that the cure to the frontend mess is a big library that pretends to be html.
There is absolutely no reason to make that tradeoff. If a rail line is hitting maximum capacity, then that means there's plenty of money going around to expand it. Adding more passenger trains does not require decreasing the amount of freight trains. That's not the reason we're bad at doing passenger rail.
Perhaps take a look at https://quasar.dev/introduction-to-quasar#what-is-quasar

You can do all this in a single code base:

- SPAs (Single Page App)

- SSR (Server-side Rendered App) (+ optional PWA client takeover)

- PWAs (Progressive Web App)

- BEX (Browser Extension)

- Mobile Apps (Android, iOS, …) through Cordova or Capacitor

- Multi-platform Desktop Apps (using Electron)
For me, it's not the check, it's the emails. I would expect to have emails and calls from at least 3 people at the company - HR, Hiring Manager, and Team Manager. Also, companies are terrified of being sued, that's why they require all recruiting and hiring emails to be done on the corporate accounts. If they don't require HR and managers to use corporate email, that's a big red flag too

Domestic production is basically zero? Wasn't that the chief producer of weapons in the USSR, so what happened? And tens of thousands of Polish troops, really? And the US pays the salaries of Ukraine's government workers?

Fairly big wow factor on all this, but citation needed.
> Who cares about bit more lossy compression for an already lossy compressed file.

Perhaps for those unaware: "without quality loss". I guess the people who care are those who store a lot of images in jpeg format (at least relative to the storage space they have). In my example, I have >1TiB of photos in JPG format (yes, I know), and it would be nice to get 200GiB back for free without losing quality. For a company offering an image storage product, this would be great cost reductions.
I am NLP researcher who volunteers for peer review often and the anthropomorphisms in papers are indeed very common and very wrong. I have to ask authors to not ascribe cognition to their deep learning approaches in about a third of the papers I review.

People do this because mirroring cognition to machine learning lends credence that their specific modeling mechanism mimicks human understanding and so is closer "to the real thing". Obviously this is almost never the case, unless they explicitly use biomimetic methods in which case they are often outperformed by non-biomimetic state-of-the-art approaches.

Thanks OP for giving me citation ammo to refer to in my obligatory "don't humanise AI" section of reviews. (It is so common I copy paste this section from a template).
I think there's an industry trend or career pressure towards being a member of a JS "tribe". Companies don't believe in people learning new technologies, instead they only want people with lots of experience in their specific framework and nothing more.

I've used React, Vue, Elm, Vanilla JS, and some legacy JQuery in production over my last three years of work (along with Next, Nuxt, Gatsby, Hugo, and many others).

I thought that would make me a well rounded candidate with an understanding of different trade offs and an ability to pick up new things. Now that I'm looking for a new job though it seems like most places are looking to hire someone 100% React dev, and my history of framework diversity has become more of a liability than an asset somehow.
This will improve democracy and freedom, how? Values both US and EU supposedly stand for.

Bad practices and horrible incentives happen throughout society. It's not just money laundering that's the problem. It's much easier to get wealth and power in exchange for your regulatory actions from powerful actors if you have more control on the citizens. It's much easier to extract wealth and resources from people who have less power over you. The less economic freedom you give people, the less they have incentive to create new wealth.

Stricter money controls will increase political corruption.
It is not sarcasm. How could something strictly be a US thing when both the US and Canada partake?
From a logical standpoint carbon capture is a scam [0]. The argument is "if you don't have spare energy, why are you spending it on carbon capture? And if you have spare energy (you don't), why not spend the money you usee to build the over capacity to bring clean energy somewhere else?"

That is all assuming your entire power grid is 100% clean (it isn't) because otherwise you fall in case 0 where you spend energy that could be spent on offsetting non-clean energy usage.

To me it looks like the opposite. It’s more batteries included, easier to use and has been around for longer. I like htmx too, but too me it’s only better on the marketing side.

I cannot count how many times CSV "format" has caused problems for me..

In my country the decimal separator is comma, instead of punctuation.
This causes problems when importing and exporting with this "format".

Just few weeks ago I had fun times working with API returning CSV in unknown encoding. Hopefully they will never make changes (you cannot always trust headers). Ah and i do love when CSV is missing headers and someone adds data into middle.

Of course some of these issues can be avoided by doing the things "right". Sadly you cannot trust this in real life. People write ugly structures in JSON, but at least you can validate results..
A problem with ideas like these is that they have to be cheaper than burning fossil fuels and then capturing and sequestering CO2 to compensate. Both schemes capture CO2, so that part of the cost cancels out. Sequestering CO2 once you have it shouldn't be very expensive, especially if it can be used to stimulate more petroleum production.

If you're going to capture CO2 from the atmosphere it may be very favorable to do it at high latitude, where air is colder. I wonder if this could be sold to Russia as a way for them to make money in a post-fossil fuel world.

Seems like a quick solution to this problem would be to force any dropouts that didn't already have a rate to send them back to school or to just drop the policy of allowing fresh recruits to attend BUD/S. This seems analogous to how some universities that have big football/basketball programs will allow their players to perform poorly in classes and graduate with weak degrees. The players all have aspirations of going pro but very few will actually do so and while some may end up in coaching roles, the ones that don't or are injured are totally unprepared for college degree careers. Same thing with many high school players; they likely wouldn't be able to get into college on academic merit so if they can't get a scholarship or get injured, they've effectively wasted their education. The schools that do things properly ensure that all students regardless of athletic status receive a rigorous education so that if they don't get to play ball at the next level, they are prepared for their next stage in life.

Weird that there are so many videos of Teslas randomly breaking or turning haphazardly then.

Also, the self driving is in the dangerous zone, where it's good enough so the driver will zone out, but bad enough that it's very dangerous to do so.
Neuroscience Says This Memory-Fixing Brain Habit Works Best
Is there a way to enable compression on it? That may help with latency depending on the root cause.
Doctrines like this are largely meaningless anyway. Putin's just looking for attention because people are increasingly indifferent to his nuclear saber-rattling since the Russian army has performed so poorly in the field compared to expectations.
I don't think it's a niche use case. The amount of existing JPEG files is huge. Having a way to compress them better without having to worry about introducing additional loss, is a "nobrainer" type of improvement.

No need to bother Marx, plenty of economists will tell you that the market needs unemployment or "bad things will happen".

I think unemployment simply can't be solved in a capitalist society, as it would expose a major contradiction of liberist economies.

We tell people they have to work or they're parasites and don't deserve to have their basic needs covered, but at the same time we need a mass of them to be out of work, in order to be able to exploit the rest.

So much of our lifestyle is built on exploitation of the working class, be it local or foreign.

That would mean adopting US's nuclear policy. If that's bad, then US's nuclear policy is bad as well.

That is why the U.S. has not adopted a "no use first" policy when it comes to using nuclear weapons, he said, adding that circumstance for first use would have to be extreme, meaning to defend the vital interest of the U.S., allies and partners.

An app with made up weather forecast and great UI... It gets current conditions and makes forecast by random walking a few days forward. If it is 16 deg C today it would be more like 14 deg C (or 18 deg C) tomorrow rather then -20 deg C etc. No API and no real feed behind.

I was always curious if anyone will become suspicious...
That particular aspect passes the sniff test for me. The race would only go so fast with a million cars produced per year, only some of which would be participating.
There could be a hidden assumption behind Graham's idea, which is that everyone (that matters) shares his beliefs. Often in the West, secular liberalism is the assumed religion and news articles, books, conversations all implicitly assume it. To people completely immersed in this paradigm, religion is merely external decoration, like a costume, that is exterior to an assumed identical core belief.

People who make this assumption got a rude shock around the time of the ISIS attacks, when they found that some people who grew up in French housing estates behaved in extremely strange and troubling ways.

Ideas have consequences, and religion is the set of ideas about the matters of utmost consequence. These ideas are inherently part of people's identity.

Tax collection is the pinnacle of a well functioning of society. You never really know how those tax agencies make those decisions, and it's not impossible there are politics at play.

To be really honest I'm quite happy to live in the EU. We have other kinds of problems, but it seems peaceful, but American problems scare me.
The only thing that worked for me when fighting managers as such was to expose where they are wrong about scrum and/or agile. Foursquare, boldly, without emotions. Speak up guys, you are paid to be experts, share your expertise with the org.
Generalizing Secret Santa with integer programming
It’s more of an argument against monarchy than for perpetual bonds.
Counterpoint: a strong sense of identity is a crucial ingredient for a meaningful life. Studies have consistently shown that actively religious people are happier that their non-religious counterparts. Identities can grant access to social networks, epitomized in conventions attracting thousands of people who gleefully share an identity (e.g., DEF CON for hackers). Etc.
I am a CDL holder who used to do long haul trucking. I haven't had a chance to get behind the wheel of these vehicles yet, but the only criticism that I feel holds weight here is the one about not being able to get the light levels on the tablets to a non-distracting level during night driving. Hopefully that can be addressed with further development. The door being behind the driver's seat is a bit odd, and I anticipate it causing some confusion during traffic stops, but if these vehicles attain any decent market share, people will get used to it.
This is (from the perspective of the state) good money laundering, because you pay taxes on it.
Foundation is being rewritten with Swift and will be developed as an open source
I strongly disagree with "more likely interpretation". For several reasons:

- FireFox & Safari also don't fully support it. For your claim to be true, Google would need to be in control of them, too.

- I still get nag emails that I'm long overdue to remove dead test code from my Chromium tests. I'm being a bad person to other Chromium devs by being lazy and not getting around to it.

I think it is far more likely that they ran a test and know they're ready to support JPEG XL when the time comes. And that time (IMHO) is when there is already wide spread support outside of browsers. Browsers should be the last ones to add it. Not the first.

The question we have to ask ourselves is whether OpenBSDs mitigations are taking away enough attack surface (or in this case, exploitation tools) to make it worth the engineering and user cost.

I'd argue that things like msyscall and mstack don't at all because they cost attackers only a couple of minutes of time once to develop a bypass technique (ie move the stack pointer before a syscall, reuse the authorized syscall instruction) that they can apply everywhere. This greatly contrasts with mitigations like ASLR where each time an attacker wants to bypass the mitigation they are forced to develop a novel, program dependent strategy to leak some information. This is a huge pain and has definitely killed some otherwise exploited bugs because no such leak could be devised.
I've noticed some similar in America recently. I've got friends who move 5-6 figure sums for various personal businesses, and their banks have been extra critical of their transactions. One bank got so annoying, that my friend tried to close the account, and couldn't!
Lately hearing more and more stories about people getting de-banked, as been making me feel a little nervous.

In the cases of the banks and my business friends, I'm more worried the banks are extremely over leveraged and don't want to part with any cash (like 2008 on steroids).

I believe that the answer you seek is in the article. You're too attached to a sick mindset. It's better to stop overthinking and doing something that have more pleasant effects (for you) than writting long-winded comments here. Or maybe not.
The (freely available) book "SAT/SMT by Example" [1] shows how a lot of different problems can be tackled with an SMT solver. I highly recommend it!

I think this is true only if you're willing to give up resiliency.

You'll have to shut the app down to back it up. That problem gets worse if you want some kind of a cold standby, since backups should be frequent.

You could replicate it, but that requires running a separate daemon and starts to beg the "why not just have Postgres be the daemon?" question.

Sysadmin tasks start to get very difficult when someone starts with SQLite and expects to get Postgres-like features out of it. I'd rather run Postgres than try to replicate or continually back up SQLite.
> Keyframes are meant to be visible for less than 100 milliseconds in typical cases.

Keyframes don't disappear with the next frame — they're the basis of all the delta (P- and B-) frames that follow until the next I-frame.

Also, AVIF does support features like progressive encoding/decoding¹, which may be the kind of "still image only" tradeoff you're thinking of.

> My impression is that the field is more disciplined in terms of knowledge now than it was ~8 years ago - the fundamentals are better understood and more clearly expressed in literature.

Is that really true? That's not my impression at all (though to be fair I haven't been keeping up with current research as much as I used to). My understanding is that there is still hardly any knowledge on what deep learning models (and large language models in particular) actually learn. The loss surfaces are opaque, one still doesn't know why local minima reached by gradient descent tend to generalize fairly well for these models. The latent representations that generative language models learn is, with the exception of the occasional paper that finds some superficial correlations, hardly investigated at all and overall extremely poorly understood.

Very much interested in any references that contradict that sentiment.
You said: we really need a better argument than the same “the name sounds misleading when you first hear it” argument that has been repeated for years now

We do have that. We have a very thorough argument, and it has been repeated endlessly. So that's why you got downvoted.
I think you're proving aidenn0's point: standards of masculine or feminine attractiveness vary across time, place, and culture, even if the lower-level instinct-based standards remain unchanged.

Desire is not just instinctive. To continue the example: a skirt, long hair, and jewelry can conform to either masculine or feminine standards of attractiveness, depending on who, where, and when you ask (and on the specific styles of said skirt and jewelry). Desire is rooted in instinct, but "nurture" clearly plays a huge role in shaping it.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to consider the possibility that "women's expectations of masculine behavior have changed in 30 years." The underlying instincts of romantic/sexual desire don't need to change for this to happen.
> As a rule, any mention of religion on an online forum degenerates into a religious argument. Why? Why does this happen with religion and not with Javascript...

Unfortunately this is not true anymore for JavaScript. People will get into intense arguments over TS vs JS, React, etc and argue from the same position of "faith" or strongly held beliefs rather than logic.
