On the weekends, yes. My wife and I went skiing almost every weekend. Sometimes we take our daughters. Sometimes other family watched the kids. It's not a fair comparison, because I never go skiing during work. Although, my wife has discussed going skiing / camping with some of the moms during the weekdays when the kids are a bit older. So that's another win for moms I guess.
My pleasure - I've had great experiences chatting with them through email for things that weren't on the site (frostbite treatments in pigs), they really are wonderful!
You'll be surprised how many people that would be. Especially as the job market is not great at this time.
Great editing, seems like a promising intro but... yeah there's not much substance yet. It's a three part series and only part one is released.

I’ve had good experience with actual Scrum, as described by The Scrum Guide (https://scrumguides.org/scrum-guide.html).

I have had terrible experiences with bastard scrum: Standups as manager reports, sprints as death marches, stories without a definition of ready or done, stories added during the sprint, no backlog refinement, etc.

In my experience many companies doing “scrum” are actually doing daily manager reports and weekly top-down deadlines of fixed scope, while calling these “standup” and “sprints”.

In my 15-year career I’ve only worked with one company doing real Scrum, and all the companies doing bastard scrum were startups.
Is it possible to watch as a subscriber without feeding an AI with your viewing history?

Like incognito mode, which is the only way I ever watched Youtube previously.
A DMCA takedown is a tool for a very specific situation, where a small-time, difficult-to-identify, near-anonymous user uploads copyrighted content to a third-party, big-time, easy-to-identify host. The copyright owner would prefer to sue the original uploader, but suing the host is a lot easier, so the host is strongly encouraged to obey the DMCA takedown as quickly as possible.

In this case, the uploads were done by the Internet Archive itself, not by a near-anonymous user. So there's no point to sending a DMCA takedown - the copyright owner already knows the identity of the original uploader, they're easy-to-identify and they have money to pay damages. Therefore, they're just suing the IA directly.
Sure, at the end, but I heard the same claims of volatility during the entirety of his term. It's not like the claim of volatility suddenly appeared after the Jan 6 stuff.

I’ve been using it for many years now and I’ve never found myself wanting to reorder notes by dragging them around. The difficulty (among others) is that dragging is reserved for small visual adjustments. If it were also capable of moving notes from one beat to another, people would find themselves trying to make a visual adjustment and suddenly moving their note to the next beat over. It doesn’t make any sense. Use note input mode instead of the mouse and you’ll have an easier time.
The article says “as a result, statutes prohibiting climate impact analysis and remedies are now invalid and permanently enjoined”.

Page 6 of the ruling says that in March this year — three years after the suit was filed — the laws in question were repealed by the governor. Two weeks later Montana tried to have the case dismissed for “mootness”.

I’d like to hear more about that.

Was the state was trying to unilaterally settle — and avoid a public trial — by saying “fine then, we’ll undo the law if you hate it so much, happy now?” and attempting to storm off in a sulk, only to be dragged out of their room and back into court?

Waiting for your direct to Amazon book about how AI will kill software OP. Always entertaining.

ChatGPT will likely be added to the list of dead things that were supposed to "kill" the software developer. I've noticed this pervasive attitude among, what I can only term as, people who actually enjoy LinkedIn. If you understand what I'm saying you can probably already picture the annoying over the top buzzword written below-the-fold post that feels like its only designed to steal braincells. ChatGPT might be able to kill the CRUD developer like WYSIWIG killed HTML programmers. There will be plenty of jobs no one wants ChatGPT to touch. Finance, medicine, and military are some I can imagine without much thinking. "No Code" is on its, what, 4th iteration and still hasn't killed programming. We are more likely to lose our jobs to overseas outsourcing than a stupid rock we tricked into thinking.

I am actually annoyed reading this Ask HN. The level of smugness reminds me of wantrepreneur bros. Woe is me I'm burned out from being so productive. Gag. I'm an actual professional developer. ChatGPT does not provide oodles of value to me. A lot of our juniors and mids use it and I often find problems with the way they copy-and-paste garbage. Admittedly, the copy-and-paste is better. However, to me it reduces to the same StackOverflow problem. Maybe if they were better "prompt engineers" (lol) they might get better output. Or they could take the 30 hours needed to figure out prompts to just simply do better at writing code.
I can't view that graph.

German wholesale prices are pretty much bang in the middle of European average which is what you'd expect given the high level of integration between each country's domestic market and the large amount of capacity for import/export and the liberalised nature of the markets (liberalised by EU decree in 2008).

There was a huge spike last Summer but it was caused not by a domestic shift in German supply and demand but by the fact that over 50% of French nuclear capacity went offline in August/September which meant France needed to import huge amounts of electricity from its neighbours (primarily Germany) which pushed up wholesale prices across much of Europe.

You can be a big exporter - and Germany is the biggest electricity exporter in the world[1] (like the US is of natural gas for example) but this doesn't prevent domestic prices from responding to external prices.

I'm glad Java is returning to its original design with userland threads.

Java users can finally have some decent readable concurrent I/O without the blight of reactive.

This is a huge win.
With Apple Store subscriptions I've had good experiences with clarity of the terms which they put in literally the same font as the teaser free trial deal.

You can cancel immediately and use out the free trial in most cases.

Apple also seems to remind me to cancel subscriptions when I delete an app I'm not using that has a small subscription associated I forgot about. They also turn off subscriptions it seems when apps become unavailable.

They also seem to send a notice about a month in advance of any auto renewals, but that may be something I turned on.

They also let me cancel subscriptions without going through the developers own flow / retention game and this is the SINGLE biggest win for me having had to threaten to sue folks both at work (were subscriptions are much higher) and personally.

On non apple products I especially hate the "must cancel at least 60 but no more than 90 days in advance of renewal" terms of service games non-apple subscriptions play, or ones where you have to call in (yes, the same newspapers complaining about apple can make it hell to cancel). This used to be common in copier sales where you'd auto renew for another year after FIVE years unless you carefully calendared and remember to cancel service in time. The problem is with staff turnover etc it's not always easy to keep track of these kind of gimmicks, and often the person you are contacting has also left so you are dealing with national sales departments.

Apple get's crapped on a lot but despite the claims they screw folks over compared to a lot of internet stuff (ads for tech support have bitten my parents, the car warranty deals etc) I have more trust in them then the areas of the internet the FTC etc are managing.
Since this language is moving further away from C, I suggest they update the name to reflect that: pp.
I think a particularly interesting part of this filing is that SBF intended to influence both Republicans and Democrats equally - all he cared about was weeding out "anti-crypto" politicians, he just funneled the money to the Dems through himself and Singh, and funneled the money through the Republicans through Salame.
Sure at least that was actual commerce or something meaningful happened.

Here it was just empty car sitting in the middle for 40 minutes.
No. That would actually help.
> more senior-level people has been shut down (like the OP is doing).

I am already seeing this, companies are desperate for senior developers but at the same time they don't want to hire juniors.
Actually I think the principles are bullshit. They're full of holes you could drive a truck through.

Every team I have ever been on has had zero idea how to run an effective Agile team. They don't know Agile, Scrum, Kanban, they've never had project management experience, they don't understand why they need estimations, work limits, reports, continuous improvement, stakeholder management, or really any concept out of "Me write code good!" Left to their own devices, teams are shit at communication, shit at process, avoid anything difficult, and end up needing some clueless outside manager or contractor to force them into a process so they'll get something meaningful done on time and actually report it to someone outside their group.

If everyone on the team has had real Agile training, and actually practiced it before, then they can manage their own team effectively according to the principles. But that team does not exist. Managers don't understand these principles either, and won't ask for the things that ensure the principles are followed. Really everyone is just fucking clueless and doesn't care.

It was just so obviously stupid. I don't have time to wade through German government websites finding the trail.

Modern civilization, like in Germany, requires a certain per capita level of energy resources. If you increase the cost of energy without a matching increase in economic resources you lose functionality in your infrastructure.

Germany willfully chose to cut domestic energy production and increase its own costs. Now its core manufacturing is crumbling.
BASF, for example, is relocating to China[0]. They claim they're using 100% renewable energy there, but such claims are easy to make in China and hard to verify.

The Western sustainable energy policy is like watching a man hit himself repeatedly in the head with a hammer and then wonder why he has a headache.

"Most" have "pledged"...that does not give me as much comfort as it gives you.

> Some have already done so.

To who? Do those politicians perhaps have relationships with the orgs they donate to?

I wouldn't trust a politician as far as I can throw one. Especially in this case where they could have easily returned the money to the bankruptcy trustee.
Most certainly agree.

Yet, its not whether they 'actually' care. Just the noises they're making.

The guy is complaining about making millions being his own boss and working on his own idea funded by someone else's money and is blaming the people who gave him the money to do so. Much less, now that he lost it all, he is not in debt for the rest of his life or in prison. True first world problems.
In a call he had with Tiffany Fong that she recorded, he talked about how he donated equally to both of them and that he couldn't care less about the politics, but he hid the republican ones considerably better because he felt the media companies would have hung him out to dry for the republican ones.

> Unless your cloud services are limited to function-as-a-service and serverless/containerized applications,

Yes, I'm talking about containerized applications, deploying to fully managed environments like EKS, Fargate, GKE, Cloud Run. If you're not using containers then yes, it will be more difficult to achieve what I'm describing.

I've been the one part-time guy for three different SaaS startups with funding in the $20-30m range, and globally distributed dev teams. I'm a software architect and dev primarily, so setting up the cloud platform is just a side activity.

For one of those companies, I was literally just a part-time contractor. Once it's set up properly, it should be easy for regular admins to operate, and devs can just follow the templates for configuring a service. It's not rocket science.

All the stuff you're imaging is so complex is exactly the stuff that the cloud lets you delegate to the provider. But you have to be willing to do it, you can't stick to the old way you've always done things and expect the cloud to make anything easier for you.
I have a collection of several dozen 78 rpm shellac records that I inherited from my father, who inherited them from his father. I have a turntable but it won't play 78s. Been wanting to check with my local university to see if they could digitize them and maybe take the originals as a donation.

I have also thought about looking for an old Victrola at an antique market and keeping them to play as a novelty, but it would really be just that.

Ok, fair enough, they don't want development and that is their right but they have to understand, as their population grows they're only pricing themselves out of their own land.

I agree wholeheartedly with the second paragraph.
It's interesting how this happens. You don't need a judge to suddenly prefer extreme speed. You just need one person to win because being slightly faster earned an extra point from a judge (and the might hate super speedy speakers), and that person gives an extra point to someone slightly faster, and the slippery slope slides.
There's still a couple billion people there who need energy to survive and progress and don't care about the climate increasing a couple of degrees by 2100.

If a car cannot drive without having Internet connectivity, it should not be on the road in the first place. If I don't have Google Maps it can be difficult for me to get to my destination, but I'll never stop in the middle of a road because my phone died. At least I'll pull over at a proper place. Self driving cars should do the same.

Because Costco takes returns way past the manufacturer's warranty/return period.

So if random brand X wants to keep selling those toilets at Costco, they will sometimes get a deduction from their invoice because a curmudgeon brought in a ten year old toilet that broke.

In Australian, a local government competition body regularly pursues this sort of fake-ass pricing. They are a great laugh once they a fined, but it is not so funny before. Here is one that is as ridiculous as the Black-Friday fake deals.

edit, here is the gist:

In July 2020, the Court found that Kogan had misled consumers by advertising over a period of four days that they could use the code ‘TAXTIME’ to reduce prices by 10 per cent at checkout, when Kogan had increased the prices of 621 products immediately before the promotion.

In most cases, the prices of these products had been increased by at least 10 per cent. Kogan then decreased those prices soon after the promotion ended, many back to their pre-promotion prices.

Oh this is the one where privatization of ATC killed a bunch of people, and then one asshole decided that it was ok to murder the one person involved who was explicitly not responsible. The responsible parties - as outlined in the report:

1. The Russian airline: it put untrained pilots in charge of a plane. We know they were untrained as they clearly did not understand the most basic concept of TCAS. The article tries to paint this is regulatory confusion - which is patently nonsense, the entire concept of TCAS hinges on it being on par with stall and terrain alerts, where there is a single response, and that response counters any other instruction. The fact that the pilots were aware of the system and failed to learn about it is a failure on their part, the fact that the airline company failed to have the most basic of training on it makes it mostly theirs.

2. The Skyguide company: understaffed a region, and then under equipped it while understaffed, and then failed to have any reasonable back up for anything. Arguably a failure brought on by those people that insist "privatizing a public safety system is efficient".

But then Mr Macho-man had to defend his honor by going and murdering the one remaining victim of the crash, to demonstrate how manly he was. If you feel that murdering an innocent and defenceless person is justified for the "honor" of your family, and to give you value as a "man" I say you've failed the most basic tenets of "honor", and sure as shit don't get to brag about manliness.
When you encounter "uncensored" in a llama model (1 or 2) what that means in that context is that the fine-tuning datasets used have had all refusals to respond removed. There's no way to uncensor the pre-trained model itself and fine-tuning only changes the style of the output.
What should the M.O. of an archive be, then? Paid access? That would be an even worse offense! Zero access except for the person who created the archive? That makes no sense either. The archivist needs to vet potential accessors for certain motives? Only offer access to small samples?
