>> If we had just agiled a little harder

This shows the uncanny parallel between Agile and religious sects. If you agiled and failed, you should have agiled harder. Or, even better, part with your hard-earned cash on Agile coaches to show you the one True Path™.

There is only one canonical work, be it a relatively short one, the Agile Manifesto. However, there are multiple interpretations, with each faction claiming they are the one True Path™ to reach enlightenment. Each of these factions has culturally appropriated existing concepts, such as daily stand-ups and backlogs, and claims these are unique to their implementation of Agile.

That leaves you to wonder how developers managed in the dark ages, before the Agile revolution. Did developers chuck out unassigned tickets with their poo buckets on the streets? Could they only deliver Babylonian towers as they lacked a way to communicate with each other daily?
That's a really good article. It gets so boring to see every week another "Agile must end" cargo cult from software developers who lack both maturity and experience to see their own flawed argumentation and who couldn't be either bothered to get a really deep understanding about software development methodologies instead of looking only for pieces to reinforce their own believes.
Teaching children business languages seems rather silly at this day and age tbh.

I interviewed at a company in Dortmund with international customers that paid really well and passed the technical interview, salary was very good for europe, but I am on hold for maybe weeks or months because the customer has not approved new requirements and even current devs are in danger of being let go.

In Munich it seems I am crazy to have a salary expectation of over €100k/year. Only have been offered positions to lead teams for €80-€90k. Individual contributor positions seem very hard to get at least at those salaries, plenty of IC positions for €45k-€60k.

Google here ghosted all my applications since last year.
FWIW, it looks like they just closed that ticket now. I guess another developer saw this comment.
It doesn't turn around, it stays the same (except for different reasons on different levels of income ladder). Poor people have the most kids, worker class, fewer, middle class, even fewer, and high middle class, fewer still.
It might not be the case for the very rich (top 0.01%), because they literally don't care about expenses, and can afford trophy wives 30 years them younger so fertility isn't an issue either.
Hi fren, we started building Sentio after knowing some dApp developer friends struggling to develop and host in-house solutions that yet meet their needs for granular monitoring and analysis. Sentio aims to tackle this by
- Building a SDK with codegen capability to simplify on-chain data collection, which supports smart contract events, transactions, traces and states
- Providing real-time dashboard, configurable alerts and structured logs at the same place, so that you can always drill into issues with some context
- Supporting blockchain native event analytics, as we know not all teams are able to write complex queries.

Read our docs here: https://docs.sentio.xyz/

We’d love to hear your feedback!
It's a huge huge step back. That's like a before telegraph, before semaphore, before printing press step back.

This ultimately leads to an increase in the pregnancy age in women, and that unlocks additional second-order effects. Having a first baby at 35 makes it more unlikely that the woman will want and be able to bear a second one. Attention to aging parents may also compete with the possibility for more children. The single child will be given more attention and will grow in a “dust-free” environment. This completes the whole cycle of the cultural shift towards egocentrism.

"And it runs Office better than Linux or Mac"

Yup, been doing that for decades. It's called "vendor lock-in". And its unethicality has been discussed comprehensively for decades as well.

Rust's ownership rules are simply an explicit form of what people already have to (and sometimes fail to) look out for in C/C++.
If learning a language for a couple months makes one feel elitist that's not the language's fault. Though granted, some Rust people are...very eager at talking about its virtues.

uBO is a Recommended Extension, and even has a badge that says it's only granted to extensions that meet their standards of security.

But do we know if Firefox manually reviews updates as well, for changes in their source code? Or do they only review them once (at the moment where they grant that badge)?

I can't find conclusive info on that front.

I would be happy to know that a few extensions get their updates manually reviewed.

I'd say this is the case more often than not.

In order to advocate for Waterfall instead of any Agile methodology during the last decade or so one has to be overwhelmingly blindfolded by the religion. And these kind of folk tend to be quite strict in their faith. As in: "we had enough time to discuss things and think it through and now it's time to stick to the decisions we made".

And yes, I have witnesses just that quite a few times.

I know a software company that strictly uses classic Waterfall even to this day. A minor feature that should typically iterate in production for like 3 or 4 times and be done takes them about a year to implement and still never deliver what the customer wanted. And I'm not exaggerating. (The company prints free money from another line of business).
Where's the line?

Writing by hand leads to optimizations, such as not lifting the pen a lot. This means that the movement between strokes also gets drawn. A 10 stroke character might end up being one single continuous path (effectively 10 strokes + 9 connections). Depending on stroke order, the results can be wildly different. So consistency makes sense for the result to be intelligible.
So differentiable programming with nns as approximators? Cool!
Unless you work in a factory:

The 996 work culture is no threat - It's one of the most inefficient ways of working I've ever observed. Same goes for other equivalents found in Asia - too much of that "work" is just butts on seats either pretending to work, or straight up looking at the watch and twiddling thumbs. For any serious intellectual work, it's pure nonsense.
It is debatable whether we really have an overpopulation problem or not. Pollution in general is caused by industry not individuals. You could argue big industry is the result of a large population but it's still a systems problem imo.

Reversing population growth means having an ever increasing population of elderly people and increased burden on the young to support those elderly. It's hard to see solutions to this that aren't dystopian and downright cruel.
People were saying the same about crypto and web3 6 months ago.

I know you're being somewhat flippant but if agile shaman blame team for not doing agile right team should throw agile shaman off nearest cliff and find somebody who's not doing that job as some kind of dodge... too many self declared agile coaches and scrum masters out there who have no idea what they're doing - it usually starts because the organisation gets their first feed of them and agile through a consultancy who just tells them what they want to hear rather than they reality, and the senior management usually can't get out of that headspace.
Exactly. To me the difference is in scope, familiarity, and stress.

While I'm doing the task:
1) Do I have to hold 15 interdependencies in my head?
2) Is this something I did a million times in the past and do I already know exactly what the failure modes look like?
3) Is this something high-stress, e.g., is this the big project that's supposed to make my team look good or net me a promotion?

Wiring in a UI for a sophisticated CRUD can take 10 hours but it doesn't _really_ have that many interfaces, I've done it a million times, and nobody getes excited about it. It's just something you do.

Building a billing pipeline for a product is something I've never done before, is very-high-stakes for the business, and can go wrong in a bazillion ways, many of which are not my fault. There's no way I can imagine getting more than an hour or two of work on this per day.
My worry is not the author or the extension; it's someone being able to push a new release of the extension (e.g. signing keys compromised, some vulnerability somewhere, etc), and it being automatically approved by Firefox without manual review.
> Sure - the poker might trigger a thorough discussion about controversial estimations, so I guess I'll allow it.

I believe all these tools have their place. But they are more frequently used by management to exert power over engineers. “What a dumb take. That feature obviously will not take that long. You are over-cautious as always.” “We had decided that this feature was 2 story points. Why did it take that long?” No, dumb fuck. It was your decision, not mine. I had argued against it, but you didn't listen.
I've done a lot of pair programming with mentees and it's very rewarding. They usually learn a lot and it helps building a relationship with them. Bonus points if they see you struggling with a problem/bug.

> low birth rate considered good

considered good by who??? Can you quote some sources? Bloomberg article from above:

> The lack of babies carries long-term risks for the economy by reducing the size of the workforce that underpins its growth and vitality. Welfare spending for an aging population also drains national coffers that could otherwise be utilized to promote businesses, research and other enterprises that are key to prosperity.
It’s in the bottom 15 problem index horizontal bar chart.
Alternatively, populations fall until the pressures causing suppressed reproduction ease - and people start having more children.

Wouldn’t it be better for a country like the UK to have a population of about 30 million? More space for everyone, self sufficient in food and renewable energy, less pollution and resource depletion, … Why not order society to maximise average quality of life instead of GDP?
What do you expect by "without constantly pointing this out"? There is no need, if you don't understand that part, then you research it. Here is my take on that issue:

For "manual"-like blue collar work, where the value is directly proportional to the hours put in, reducing work hours is just and simply like it always has been done repeatedly in history: everybody works a bit less. There is no shortage of workers in capitalism, since be design there is always a 5-25% (!) of unemployment. So the company pays more.

Some companies will inevitably cry that they can't sustain their business and will close. Let them close, just like any other company that only sustains itself by exploiting workers.

I repeat, this has been done historically many many times, for less time and more salary. Since the industrial revolution pushing workers to death, without legal bounds for max work hours or minimum salaries.

For "creative"-like white collar work, e.g. software development, the value output should be roughly the same with less hours worked. It could be a little less, but others say that the value is actually higher, since resting more prevents burnout. Whatever, but some companies (workers) have been able to test it out right now. Nobody is saying that it can be applied with the same strategy to blue-collar work, but it does set a precedent and gets the ball rolling there too.

Live in denmark and always found these kind of fawning articles kinda uncomfortable. Suppose it lays bare the same sort of nonsense inherent in "look at this unusual and mystical thing from japan" written for city folks that's just the same as a traditional practise in most parts of the world. It's all just marketing.

It's relatively harmless in other countries I think but its when people here start to genuinely mention how danish design is better or whatever that it's a bit much for me.
France. The cryptocurrencies startup are failing. The startup ecosystem was less crazy than Us/Uk/Germany, and seems still going as it was (minus crypto, plus AI). Embedded is still going strong. Lots of opportunities for devops here in banking/insurance.
From the article:

Microsoft will start testing Bing Chat tones, enabling users to switch between receiving answers that are either more creative or more focused on their queries.

I'm not sure what Bing needs is more creativity...
Yes, basically every country works like that. I don't know why people talk about "moving a higher braket" like it's a discontinuity in the amount of tax you pay. It's always a _marginal_ tax rate.
At some point it stops even to pretend to be a society and is just a labour camp.

From my experience, the newest VMWare versions and Linux kernels are very good at conserving power when the VM is mostly idle.

I'm doing on that my 2014MBP, and it didn't cut the endurance to half, but need to re-test it for exact numbers. However, it doesn't appear in "power hungry applications" list unless you continuously compile something or run some service at 100% CPU load. Also, you can limit the resources it can use if you want to further limit it down.
I understand that corporations are bastards and built on foundations of the crushed skulls of children and involuntary human sacrifice but Office on the Mac is not a bad product and is improving.

How could it possibly stay the same when those at the lowest rung are getting additional benefits for having kids? Starting at income '0' they can only go up from there.

I readily admit the benefits are shit and only profitable if you're basically feeding them gruel and giving them little else, although sadly there are people who do this. If those at '$0' are the most fertile then they're (what initially could be described as paradoxically) going to have more income on average at 1+ kids due to increase in benefits, which necessarily turns things around at the lower end.
I second this - there's been a bit of budget cutting at my current company but really nothing has changed. Not sure why we're so unaffected here (touch wood). Perhaps there is less work on "bubbles"

Probably some flying stingers that transmitted a lethal disease that these past horses couldn't quickly build resistance to. It could also be that this sickness came in waves with only a few survivors every time, and the patterns on the zebras got amplified on every wave until it reached the current state. In the beginning it may have even been a coincidence that the pattern was there for individuals which survived the plague, but over time as it amplified it transformed into a evolutionary benefit on its own.
That's why a lot of companies will have servers on oldschool hosting providers for large servers or high bandwidth usage. Cloud offerings are too expensive for that currently.

Which gives a very misleading figure. The useful figure is "total employee compensation" which includes the value of benefits such as vacation, sick days, health insurance, 401k contributions, etc. All of this can add another 40% to the wages.

Apple has released Rosetta for linux. I believe the use case is running x86 binaries inside of an Arm virtual machine on Apple Silicon, instead of emulating an entire x86 CPU and running the entire OS as x86. Apparently it works pretty good and some people have even used it on non-Apple arm chips. Anyways, I wonder if it could be used in combination with something like Proton to emulate x86 on linux.
