That’s self-imposed complexity.

It's not a matter of complexity for its own sake. The standard transliteration an intentional trade-off that favors accuracy/fidelity over accessibility to lazy English speakers.

Berman has a point that a simpler system would make stuff easier to pronounce and recognize. But you'd be losing a lot of important signal and creating all kinds of other confusions (especially in dictionary entries) if you apopted that kind of a system as your standard.

For example the Х is always a "kh" sound, as in the Scottish loch, and never a "h" sound (which doesn't exist in Russian). Meanwhile if one does see a Cyrillic name transliterated with a pure "h" sound it's a good sign that it references something in Ukrainian (where the sound does occur and is quite common).

Also if we squish Щ down to "sh" then we're colliding with the representation of Ш which represents the pure "sh" sound. So you'd be creating all kinds of collisions is if you smushed these two letters down into the same representation.

While "shch" is mouthful for Anglophones - it at least tells them that something is going on, and that it's not the same as "sh" in either the Cyrillic representation or the sound.

Point being - there are reasons for the system the way it is, and it's not about pedantry really.

(BTW yes, these sounds do drift regionally and all that but that's a whole different topic).
The default is resorting to drugs, alcohol, other destructive behaviour, and even suicide?

Maybe.

But this isn't a universal default. These escapes at this level isn't happening everywhere in every culture, is it?
That's a hyper specific nit you got there, and only referenced once in the middle of the article.

However sudo -i, sudo su, and sudo su - are all common ways to achieve the desired result, with very subtle differences. Sudo su - is my preferred method because it puts you into a root login shell rather than just a shell with root privileges.

But these are all pretty pandantic to call one way correct, and others incorrect.
I really doubt this works reliably given my own attempts at doing this for extremely small use cases.
Note that the growth is not just in Germany. Ireland, Sweden, Switzerland also show jumps (however in absolute terms they are still much smaller). I would not rule out it's people or bots connecting from third country/countries through VPNs based in Europe... for whatever reason.
I was going to say "what is this new thing, will they close it soon?"

>You think Youtube should provide video hosting for free? Facebook should provide their .. social network stuff for free? Twitter should serve tweets for free? No? Then either pay or watch ads.

Not GP, but that would be nice. What would be even nicer is if each and every location that one of those organizations, as well as everyone who works for them or chooses to invest in them should be destroyed/die slowly and painfully.

If that were to happen, the world would be a better place.

Is that a fine enough point, or shall I elaborate further?

While I respect the hard work you're putting in to repay those loans, if the alternatives to taking the student loans areeither working constantly to _try_ and repay the loans (while sacrificing social development in the process) or not going to college and significantly reducing your earning potential and social network, then the loans aren't a choice.

Entropy should be redefined as “the distribution of potential over negative potential.”

Whether discussing what is over what may be, or thermal equilibrium, potential distribution describes it all!
Great post, but I would rephrase this

> Shareholders don't care, they just want to see Google's dollar amounts go up 20% per year as they did for a decade. And if Google doesn't do this massive investment? Well, they may lose everything.

to “they may stagnate”. Alphabet shareholders are not going to be left with worthless shares because Alphabet still has the ability to earn tens of billions of dollars of profit per year, just shares worth less than they hoped they would be worth. I.e. they might have to be content playing in the market cap of hundreds of billions rather than trillions.
Some small part of this lives on in spirit with https://web.hypothes.is/
Did you actually look at the data or just immediately Google for a rebuttal? The page you link to asserts there to be a trend, but then links back to the page I linked to, which:

a. Doesn't plot trend lines. What are they trying to link to, exactly?

b. Has no observable trend in it. You can see that with your own eyes.

Look at the graph!

BTW, in the text there's a claim there's a trend but, "the warming rate (trend) in USCRN annual temperatures is 0.86°F per decade, with uncertainties ranging from -0.58°F to 2.31°F per decade."

In other words the trend is so tiny the uncertainty bound includes zero, which means they can't actually say if there's a trend at all. It might even be going down. This is all another way to say there's no observable problem in this data. It's called global warming, but in the country with the best temperature network it doesn't happen.

It speaks to a bad level of myopia in the React community that when presented with the challenge of “put statically rendered markup in HTML” the accepted solution is “take that markup, transform it into a bloated JS representation, transform it back to markup during server side render while also shipping the bloated representation in the client JS, then unnecessarily hydrate that representation on page load” and no one sees any problem.

You can always swap those our with other apps from f-droid or something though and if you're willing to run an open source phone you're largely going to be dealing with the same problems in that department - lack of apps. And that's not to mention MicroG which makes many such apps work anyways.
Failed attempts generate FPs when random vuln scanners or noisy apps used by IT people try to "discover" resources by attempting logins using whatever credential they have. You want it to be AD joined because if it isn't, you miss out on the most popular means of lateral movement: using domain user/service accounts. Typically bad guys run adfind, sharphound or the like to find easy and valuable targets and attack paths. The honeypot should show up as a valuable target that is only slightly misconfigured (e.g.: domain users can RDP to it and it runs interesting services), so attackers would move to the honeypot using domain credentials that are legitimate.

I should have said this in my original post but measures like this and threathunting done right can catch even the most sophisticated APTs (catching them is only the start though)
Sprints are stupid. Treat the developers as professionals. Stake holders should be encouraged to request whatever work needs to be done to execute on the business’ needs. They should then work with the engineers to prioritize that work. Then, they should sit back and wait for the prioritized features to roll in. Constant communication should be maintained over blockers, faulty assumptions, unforeseen circumstances etc. but the stakeholders should assume engineering is doing their best to deliver as fast as possible while maintaining standards. In this environment, over time, velocity will shake out pretty accurately and the stakeholders will be better able to make longer term projections.

TLDR, Kanban.
I think the lack of such opinions is the answer you're possibly refusing to accept.

The entirety of my experience with writing things down is that it is only ever helpful and useful in the understanding of a problem or the exploration of an idea.

I don't often look back at what I wrote. Partly that's because the process of writing helps me to remember something, and also the writing is the journey required to tech the destination, and once at the destination, the journey is no longer needed.

And yes, if there is an "other side" of the writing argument, I'm not in it, so I appreciate these posts, and generally nod in agreement. I also appreciate them as a reminder to both write more and more often.

I'd push back on summarization being solved. I have extensively used GPT 3.5 and 4 for this in production, and it works very well but it still often just ignores critical aspects of the original text, and it will rarely even completely hallucinate details. And this is with a lot of iteration on the prompt.

We still have to throw out > 50% of its output because a human can summarize the text much better.
I briefly skimmed and they started talking about manorial systems and vassalage.

I think we tend to shoot ourselves in the foot with definitions and whatnot whenever we try to talk about Feudalism, especially when we concentrate on the dark ages and the middle ages and the lack of a functioning state.

My suspicion is: Feudalism didn't start with manorialism in the dark ages.

It started with the predecessor systems to vassalage in the Roman Empire, when there was a very functioning state with a system of vassalage and hierarchy already in place and roots going back to the pre-Empire times of the Republic. It was made worse by Diocletian and noone after Diocletian was either willing or able to fix things.

You basically outlined Thomas's reasoning and I still think it's flimsy as hell. Were the 14th amendment proposed today people would be arguing that equal protection implied marriage equality. And honestly probably trans rights, and biased policing, and voting access, and gerrymandering. Saying that the 14th amendment only gives you the rights people thought of at the time is like saying the 2nd amendment only guarantees you muskets or 1A doesn't apply to the internet. But marriage equality is particularly egregious because it's the same case with the same arguments for and against and if one is justified by the right to privacy of people in their own homes then so too must the other and vice versa.

And worse even if you bought this line of reasoning the argument is equally strong that interracial marriage isn't protected using the same historical basis. The opinion overturning Loving would practically write itself.

It's not some gotcha, if you believe that right to privacy isn't implied then all these cases should fall. It's not a bad thing, not every protection we have has to be in the constitution. But that Thomas went the extra mile to call interracial marriage as "no that one stays" is telling.
So if increasing healthcare expenses allow them to earn more profits, then why do you think having capped profits means that insurance companies are 'not the problem'?

Insurance companies are incentivised, under law, to have the highest healthcare expenses possible.
Back when The Screen Savers was on ZDTV--and ZDTV existed for that matter--they used to host a chat room for the show that would appear at the bottom of the screen during live broadcasts, kindof like a ticker tape. You accessed the chat room by using a web browser that would turn every URL into a chat room. I don't remember if it was standalone browser or a plugin. I highly doubt it was a plugin but my memory fails me here.

People paid for the positive externalities i.e. heating their homes, driving their cars. Those who didn't pay also didn't share in the benefits, their homes remained cold. Society does not owe the companies anything for the positive externalities, any debt was already settled in cash.

But the companies, according to the lawsuit, knowingly and recklessly hid the negative externalities (CO2 emissions and hence global warming) from public scrutiny. These externalities potentially impact everyone, no matter how much oil they actually consumed or how much they benefited from society's oil consumption. The county does not have to ban oil (which it wouldn't be empowered to, anyway) to make that point. You don't have to agree with it, but the arguments you have brought up do not address the complaint that plaintiffs have brought here.

They do take exceptional students from poorer backgrounds in many cases. But the biggest qualification for Ivy League places is your prestige and how rich you are. They want Names and old money to be admitted and try to keep the riff-raff out as much as possible. They accept poor but extraordinary students because they can becomes Names in the future to enhance the reputation of the establishment. Don't ever believe it's anything to do with you personally.

While I don't disagree with your sentiment, this is kinda like claiming that Canonical is crippling Open Source by offering Snaps on Ubuntu.

I find it intuitive to think of such “ordered” distributions as having a higher compression ratio. (Ie compare the file sizes of zipping a file with just ones or just zeros vs zipping a file with a uniform, random mixture of ones and zeros.)
I don’t know about y’all but I think I’ve extracted more value out of this platform from the comments I’ve decided not to post than the ones I have. That doesn’t mean I didn’t write them. On the contrary, I’ve done research and written paragraphs in response to many (contextually healthy) arguments on here only to ultimately change my mind when I discovered that outlining and framing my thoughts on the matter critically either wasn’t as persuasive as I had originally thought when I read them back or it just didn’t matter as much to me as my initial emotional response made me think it did. This never would’ve happened if I simply read the comment and let it wash over me.

I read a comment on here recently that included an excerpt from a letter Kurt Vonnegut wrote before his death to some students encouraging them to write a poem, never show it to anyone, tear it up into a million tiny pieces and scatter it into disparate trashcans. He called this an act of “becoming”, and I think he had a point. Perhaps we need to start telling students this less obliquely, but I wouldn’t be surprised if (or at least I believe there’s hope that) many educators are already ahead of me here.

Authors bio is exactly what is wrong with software development today. Too many people who've made money at FANG companies who now think they are experts in the field because they got lucky and was hired at a time when their stock price and options accelerated based on NOTHING they did...got wealthy and have convinced themselves (and others in the industry) that they actually should be thought leaders. Insane shit going on right now...

Bottom line: 10 years of non-coding experience in the industry (Sun & Intel), then about 5 years experience (assuming) development/coding and he's now a "serial entrepreneur" offering best practices advice for code reviews, architectural reviews... no mention of any product, technology or coding (where's the public Github account with demonstrable experience?) that he's actually delivered or maintained. I see a guy with 15 years of experience that got lucky with his options and is blathering on to boost his LinkedIn profile.

One thing for certain, he titled his article as something provocative to get the click-bait going and using "Moneyball" certainly caught my eye and made me curious. But after reading this article, it's fraught with problems and demonstrates the lack of experience and using very limited anecdotal evidence to apply to a field that's complex and not a single article solution, which I have to say, with less than 5 years of coding and development experience, he shouldn't be considered an "expert" that gives advice on this process -- he should still be listening to people and understanding how the SDLC process works because he's clearly missed that course at Standford -- He clearly didn't pay attention to Steven Blank...

Look, I know people with 20,30 (including me) years of experience in this field that would read this article and would point out, what you're reading is not only what inexperience is, but also what someone who's been too involved in the money and investment side of the business sees. If I had a manager in my team present these ideas to me and how they wanted to operate with 1:1's for example, I'd get them out of the company because they would be creating a culture of pointing fingers.

Also, as a side note, when I saw the title, I immediately assumed "outsourcing" article because the premise of Moneyball (Bill Bean / Bill James theory) is to use cheaper labor to get better results by doing things that can still get performance and wins without having to play the game the way in which the rest of the teams were, completely undermining the norms and trying to get better performance with less. This is a poorly titled article, the premise has nothing to do with the Bill James theory.

Lastly, I don't want to be totally negative,he had one good point in the article. Using time estimates for story pointing is a bad thing. His example of measuring complexity was a bit too vague and nuanced, but it was a better example of estimating to get to a valid burn down. But a broken clock is correct twice a day...
