IQ or some form of it is an example of a reasonable metric

G-factor as a concept exists but can only be approximated by standard tests or equivalent.

IQ tests are imperfect and flawed, but it's the closest approximation to G factor we have.

After the strange decision to split it into fiefdoms, with separate accounts and reputation, I rarely had enough points to contribute free feedback that may have saved someone’s day. I happen to know stuff on multiple topics, but it wasn’t wanted.

We should be glad all the code and advice has always been being scraped. It was all provided by community. This is probably a better outcome than just seeing a wrong answer about an obscure error code on 3 fake seo blogs.
Beware blanket statements! I work with sound in games and have multiple times tried to do Kanban, both from an internal team and an outsourcing team, because of basically the same reasons mentioned in the article - it's agile and task based, and seems like a good fit to be a "factory" for sound assets.

However games are iterative by several orders of magnitude more than traditional tech (I've also been CTO at a more traditional design/consulting firm) and constantly evolving and audio team, both internal or external, end up tightly embedded over the course of 2-3 year long projects, and Kanban ALWAYS breaks down because the edges of tasks are fuzzier than you expect.

Scrum (real scrum, not the surface level dogmatism that passes for it in many places) does work better in this situation. I find myself saying this often "The best tool is the simplest one that does what you need it to". I really do prefer Kanban! It's far simpler. For projects that have clear needs and stakeholders it's great. For "factory" type set ups that provide tools to other internal stakeholders it also works great. But for places where the technical requirements are fuzzy the added complexity of Scrum is helpful, since it focuses on OUTCOMES rather than MEANS/tasks.

Don't be afraid to try different approaches for different sprints/releases and tweak formulas. You can normalize estimation by keeping it consistent while also changing methodologies. But just because Scrum is overused and misunderstood doesn't mean it's useless.
How else do you expect they get your device on a surveillance list? Or do people honestly believe that the 0.001% of mobile phone users that unlock their bootloader for custom operating systems are not subject to additional scrutiny by big brother? NSA flagged Linux Journal as an "extremist forum" and flagged readers for extra surveillance - and that was a decade ago.
"When applied correctly, good project management ends up better for everyone."

With good project management you can make any process work, be it waterfall, scrum, kanban or others. All dysfunction comes from people perpetuating processes that don't work. That's what agile was about originally.
Yeah, I can see where this isn't ideal in principle, but in practice it's completely insignificant for 99.99% of users. I unlocked my Pixel phone first thing and I never even noticed this requirement. It's not like you were planning to buy a flagship smartphone and then not connect it to the internet.

If you're really worried about Google installing something sinister, it's already too late--the made they thing, they could have installed whatever they want at the factory. Anyway if you're installing a custom OS it's trivial to wipe on install.
What’s the test?

Exactly.

The worst thing that came from "the internet of things" is that people now assume that having great home automation equates to having to use cloud-connected devices that aren't really under your control. It just isn't so.

I did scrum once and we were literally always sprinting. The daily standup consisted of trying to think of excuses why the multiweek task wasn't completed (like they expected) and one dude who "zereo'd his inbox" every day.
I think this would more likely fall on the cook.
Software would need to converge on some building standards. You can regulate concrete for example, because there is a right way to do it, and it is well known with obvious tests.

I think rigorous building standards for certain components of software is possible, and I think we should do it, eg payments. But unlike building, I don't think all software should need to follow standards.
It would be much easier to write a kernel module than an eBPF program. But the eBPF program is unlikely to panic your machine, and the kernel module is almost certain to.
Isn't that because the product manager is gathering requirements from other orgs/users?

Perhaps you work with perfect pms! jokes aside, usually all it takes is an estimation of 8 or 13 and something changes real fast.
There is absolutely zero chance a maglev bullet train is cost effective in any part of Florida. I want it to happen too, but that’s not going to change the economics.
Cross region/account usage is terrible. It's also 1/2 baked. Some things have higher level constructs but some don't. Lots of things have to be "escaped" to get it to work.

If you're just on a single region/account then yes it's better than alternatives.
I'm a little confused that people think they are free to use the software of their choice and that there is some built in right to use the software of your preference on a given hardware.

Sure, if you're so smart, you can do it and it's up to you to try to dance around whatever the manufacturer wants to throw your way. Don't like it, don't buy it.

Nothing says that any manufacturer is required to sell general purpose hardware. They can restrict it however they want, no?
So once a CEO is held liable for a bank collapse, then they can never be a CEO again because they would also be a criminal. It's perfect. What is wrong with that?

I think it’s likely that, unless regulated, commercial LLMs will have a chilling effect on most human-created information sources. With eliminating the opportunity for authors to engage with information seekers (a chance to get constructive feedback, upsell something, show ads, see interest stats) will come reduced willingness of authors to publish.

If you publish on StackOverflow only for LLM to gobble it up and no human even sees the upvote button anymore… why would you? You are basically an unpaid ghost content producer for Microsoft/ClosedAI at this point.
IMO serverless is incredibly useful when latency isn't important. Backend stuff, metrics, analytics, APIs, etc should be serverless. It allows you to scale incredibly easily at basically 0 cost.

For everything else, you have to test and examine the use cases and performance requirements. In general if there's a UI that's doing work it shouldn't be serverless. Work = latency = bad.
Engineering is significantly more intellectually rigorous than banking and finance. I'm not trying to say bankers a dumb or anything - far from it. They're quite smart, and they know their industry well, but engineering enjoys the privilege of sitting on top of "hard science" and mathematic whereas banking has... economics?

Imagine the field of engineering in a world where science still debated whether the world was flat or round, or whether empiricism was even worth the trouble in physical sciences (and if you felt strongly one way or another you were considered an ideologue) -- that's where economics is today.
I'm not sure how we can quantify it but we've had the car emissions scandal, the Boeing scandal, perhaps a self driving one..

It seems engineers screw up on purpose often enough that the monetary incentives must be there.
The differences I've observed between successful-and-unsuccessful, Scrum-and-Kanban have been dominated by people over process (yes, I know).

1. Does the team have the right people, with the right skill sets, wearing the right hats? (e.g. BAs or PMs doing those actual jobs)

2. Does the team have self-motivated, high-performance people?

I have yet to see any process that can overcome "No and no."

Large tech org's knee-jerk response to failures is to increase the formalism of their agile frameworks, but that's just a bandaid over gangrene.

If they think the solution to bad people is more process, they've already lost.

This has nothing to do with software. Same applies for things like buildings where the developers get away with so many defects even after people pay huge $$$ for it.

I think the "problem" is that Scrum orients more to the needs of people outside the team. So, (in theory) you get clearer reporting and more visibility into whats going on. People expect that extra reporting to be free, but its not free. The time taken to do team task estimation, update jira tickets and have retrospectives is time spent not programming.

The sad truth is that most management teams would prefer their employees to be predictable and observable (ie, under control) than be efficient. Especially if nobody can actually quantitatively measure the loss of efficiency.
Wow, that's pretty much exactly the behaviour of my mother.

Also cut off all contact due to it too.
I played the game from day one and it was good to me.

But I’m not the average gamer, I don’t configure my graphics to some "ultra" unplayable settings and then complain that my current gen computer can’t run the game.
I’ve always considered Kanban’s lack of sprints to be well suited to service teams where individual requests are not naturally tied to each other and there is no benefit of delaying delivery into sprints.
Then the law can/should be fixed.
This is a naive take on "choice" here; your freedom to "choose" extends only so far as the environment and your internal state allows it, which if you work backwards, you'll find leaves no room for such "choice".

And sure a machine can "choose" to ignore its inputs, chatgpt does it all the time depending on the prompt and rng.

If you spot the dichotomy above, you'll come to see that the affordance of choice can either be granted both to machines and humans, or none at all.

I imagine that if you were to automatically claw back all the bonuses previously paid upon a bank failure, the people running banks would take risks much more seriously
Bring back Glass-Stiegel. Bankers are like college students on Spring Break, going wild unless the police come in and break up the party. Banking needs to be boring and only slightly profitable, and strictly policed.

As for whether bank CEOs should suffer, well, that's the whole point of having a limited liability corporation: to isolate the company's owners from the legal consequences of their misdeeds.

Because work is deadline driven by whoever is paying the teams' salaries. If you can't accurately estimate when you can get it done, you break it down until you can you get replaced by someone who can.

To get a known stable known velocity, so many things have to go right.

The most disruptive thing sabotaging this, all other things being positive, is typically manager turnover when they each have their own differing ideas on how, and whether, and what, to adhere to.

Hold your advice; doing anything about it is not at the pay grade of anyone who will be with the company for more than another six months. Unless… you leave the company. That is the one effective action you can take.
It's true that the writers of the economist are frequently glib. This is compounded by their very strict style guide and editors. Everything sounds paradoxically very distinctive and generic, and it reads like it's all written by the same person. So I can relate to your GPT comment too.

But they very rarely get the big picture wrong. Geopolitics, global economic trends, American politics from a distance, etc. I don't think 5 books on this or pop science that are why most people read it.

So I agree with you, but I also like the paper a lot.
Siri has regressed terribly since sometime when they added "ML" to it. You really have to learn the exact magic incantations to get it to do what you want (hint: shortcuts and scenes can be named whatever you want and can help).

I wish there was a simple document listing all the commands Siri knows, but you can't find one.
I've seen Kanban work well on smaller scales, and Scrum work well on larger scales.

I cannot for the life of me work in the churn and development pace of a Scrum team, so Kanban (and the culture around it) is best fit for me.

I think it also depends upon the type and culture of people working in the team as well. Some teams work really, really well with the predictable cadence, others do not.

It's a case by case kind of situation, I think.

That said I highly prefer Kanban personally for an number of reasons.

sure, there are things that are uncertain about economics, but there are a great many things that are understood as well. Within Finance, its understood that some things are riskier than others. SVB blew up because they opted to buy highly risky long dated, low yield bonds even when there was good reason to believe that the economy was entering an inflationary period.
There is, it’s all high end and you have to go through a salesman and a whole system design to even get accurate pricing.

I think in general you’re right on the money and have been throughout your comments here. Lambda pinball is a great term as well. I agree that serverless incentivizes a “nanoservice” approach that flies in the face of patterns like classes/factories or DDD, since everything is atomic you lose the concept of a service or domain boundary and everything can get muddled as hell.
>I'm a little confused that people think they are free to use the software of their choice and that there is some built in right to use the software of your preference on a given hardware

I'm a little confused as to how you're confused? I bought it, I should be free to set up whatever software I please with it. It's mine.
Something that isn't clear to me is whether game state changes on its own between requests. Would taking a few minutes to hand craft a command have different results than if a script generated the same command instantly based on the last response?
> It creates the illusion of accountability while creating artificial touch points

I'm surprised at the conclusion because this statement can be said of any framework. It's up to the people to actually make it accountable. Doesn't matter if it's Scrum/Kanban or another one. If your org treats accountability as "an illusion" then it's doomed to fail regardless.

> The question in my mind then is if I haven't seen a single team do Scrum correctly there's something wrong that makes the methodology so difficult it can't be applied ...

This I 100% agree with. I've come to look at these frameworks (kanban, scrum etc) as I look at the Bible... no church gets it right and never will. It's not possible.
Wow this is so cool. Really stupid question but... is there a self-hosted single player we can just noodle around with?

Ideally yes, but failing that you learn from textbooks. Popsci books, at their best, get people interested and maybe manage to convey a few only moderately distorted factoids. They don't teach anything of substance.
To parse xml without loading it into memory, one interesting element at a time in Python:

import xml.etree.cElementTree as etree

def getelements(filename_or_file, tag):
context = iter(etree.iterparse(filename_or_file, events=('start', 'end')))
_, root = next(context) # get root element
for event, elem in context:
if event == 'end' and elem.tag == tag:
yield elem
root.clear() # preserve memory

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7697710/python-running-o...

The usage is simple: getelements() generates the desired elements one by one.
Found using google search for "xml memory iterparse"
Everybody wants their ticket serviced ASAP. Scrum helps manage that expectation. If a sprint is underway, new requests have to wait for the next sprint unless an agreement is reached to drop an existing ticket.

Nobody is claiming there currently exists some inherent legal right to have general purpose hardware, they're complaining that they're being sold something intentionally designed to not behave the way a consumer would want. It's the same way people complain about any poorly designed product. If I bought some furniture and it used a custom screw head to incentivize repairs from the manufacturer, I would complain about that too, not because they did something illegal, but because it's a bad product.
Yes, to call Serverless hype train and then talk of K8s as the "boring solid choice" is pretty funny.
I have the software engineering uncertainty principle. The more you try to measure and estimate and predict software velocity and delivery the more you slow it down. I think this is probably true of any largely creative and problem solving task, but compounds because most of the uncertainty derives from dependencies requiring those dependencies to likewise measure and slow down. The more complex and interconnected an effort is the more scrum hurts it.

Oddly I'm not able to reply directly to re-thc, so I hope you don't mind me commenting here that - I suspect that they're not deploying with a CDK-defined Code Pipeline (starter article[0], in-depth example[1]), which makes cross account/region deployments so ludicrously smooth and simple that it often has newbies refuse to believe that it can have worked _that_ easily.

It is true that _some_ resources don't have L2 constructs, but there's pretty damn good coverage of the most popular services - and, even when you have to drop back to L1, that's still better than hand-written CFN templates or abandoning IaC entirely!

eBPF is an extremely big deal in computer and network security, so, I assure you, this isn't "derivative marketing jargon", and it is very technical.
I had the same question about how to handle game time / game ticks. My guess is the game runs on a universal game time in some turn-based manner like Civ, but how that's handled really affects how the game is played. Couldn't find any documentation on that
I bought the 9 Pro instead of the 10 Pro, because there is no (even unofficial) Lineage build yet. Apparently they stopped supporting a tool that was needed for ROM development.
I've had a rather similar experience with NicOS a few years ago. I did get comfortable with the language and even contributed a small package! I did like having a reproducible config file for my whole OS setup.

However, everything was just a hassle to get working. Any program that's not in the package repos takes a day or two of fiddling to install. I just lost patience with it and have been on Ubuntu for the past few years.

Risk management has far more depth and consequences than you realise. For example, by far the safest form of investment would be 10yr T-bills held to maturity. Which is what SVB had. The Fed made their paper value worthless because of the high interest rate they set. If they were greedy and opted for highest yield then there would have been a good chance that they stuck around longer.

Problem is that I'm not sure wether to blame the fed or the banks.

Use HomeKit, it’s great.

If you want to use non-HomeKit items, you can use a RaspberryPi and run HomeBridge. Or you can just stick to HomeKit items (which are unfortunately more expensive and limited in selection).

I see you’re mostly unsatisfied with voice controls, but Siri is pretty good with HoneKit controls. Or you could just use your phone.
