Ask HN: How did you come to realise the real power of learning mathematics?
People say that learning mathematics changes your brain. You start to think in new ways. You gain superpower in solving all kinds of problems.

How and when did you realise this power that comes with learning mathematics? What is you favorite math topic?
If I'm driving well under limit due to towing, looking for address, etc - I pull over and let people pass. It's not so hard for a bike to do same.

I've also seen bikers upset when a kid is going slowly in a bike lane? So I think many of the spandex-clad dudes have some control issues.
I worked for a company with over 200,000 employees and honestly it feels like working at a small company that is at war with 1000 other small companies and four times a year we get together to re-sign cease fire agreements. Except for the endless amount of corporate bullshit it feels like a much smaller company than you'd think.
The render function is a pure function returning jsx based on the input, not invoking any stateful operation like "functional hook".

A project may or may not use sprints for assigning and tracking tasks.

A project may or may not have a lot of senior engineers with hands on involvement.

A project team may or may not be worked to the bone to meet tight deadlines.

A project may or may not be ultimately successful.

These are all independent variables that the author seems to be conflating into one.

As a counterexample I have worked on plenty of teams where we diligently used the agile methodology and everyone worked 9-5 and we were very successful with our product.

If you're worried about sub-zero temperatures, couldn't you just have it busy-loop or even drive a small heater to generate heat? Just enough to keep the doorbell enclosure warm.

If so, then that means that they are using FSEP for bad things (many things can be used for bad things). FSEP itself seems to be more neutral, and most of it seems to be OK although there are a few problems (although it also (fortunately) seems to avoid some of the possible problems with such a thing); one problem I can see is that it does not say that reasons are specified for being blocked (which might be helpful in case you wanted to filter them). The other thing that FSEP does not seems to say is if you want to only partially block another instance (item 3.1 seems to suggest that it is all or nothing, although Fig. 07 makes that less clear).
It’s gotten much worse for me. Usability and quality peaked for me when it was just a wrapper around webrtc, and allowed anonymous users.

Now it requires an app and google credentials on iOS, and the video quality seems worse to me.
You're "interesting" but I'm "confused." Gee whiz!
Agreed, you're probably right about that.
Wikipedia says that pawpaw "bark, leaves, twigs, and seeds" contain acetogenins, but it is unclear whether the fruit pulp itself does.
I don't think that is what a death march means.

A death march is a dead-end project where everyone thinks it likely fails, but nobody says anything. Everyone is still marching. This often happens with a migration-like project.

Sprint is just a project management style which is appropriate when a lot of things are uncertain (e.g. user need, budget).

Why Washington Went to Wall Street to Revive the U.S. Chips Industry
Looks like I can get a $3000 MSRP EPYC 4th gen 9334 for $750. I can see why people buy them even if it’s not strictly legal.
I've found them incredibly useful for getting teams to be realistic about their bandwidth and throughput. They bring data to conversations and help engineers, designers, and PMs put actual numbers to decisions and trade-offs.

I think the formality of sprints is way overblown, but the cadence of them can be extremely valuable. Having stakeholders come together to discuss and tweak plans is super helpful. Ideally, _tweak_ is the keyword. If you have major changes sprint-to-sprint, something else is wrong.

In most cases, the discussion goes something like this:

* (A) We're on track. Everything is going well. Here's what's outstanding. If we get that done, what do we want to stretch for?

* (B) We've had some problems/things aren't moving as fast as we thought. Here's why. What should we do about it.
Is it tho? Lambda calculus looks as abstract as these to me. And it was from about a century ago.
Is it possible to build a browser extension to bypass this redirection?
That makes perfect sense. Where it breaks down is if you put percentages on it. If you say the car is a 3% chance of hitting you, it doesn't and you repeat the process a thousand times, and it never hits you something is wrong with your math
A death march is walking until you fall over dead.

In code terms it’s busting your ass and hurting your health to try to push out a release - which may or may not connect with users.

Be aware that FT is notoriously anti-China. FT is owned by Nikkei, a Japanese company.

Japan has many reasons to be anti-China, the most obvious is economic competition. For example, China overtook Japan as the top car exporter recently.

The more anti-China, the less goods the (western) world buys from China and the more Japanese goods.
> Most of my bonds were in the TSP G fund (zero risk, 10y treasury yields) with a little in short term bonds.

You're clearly confused. The TSP G Fund[1] is comprised of 100% nonmarketable short-term Treasuries specially issued to the TSP; 10-year T-notes don't exist in its composition whatsoever. and its nominal return over any arbitrary period has never been negative...in other words, bond duration risk simply isn't applicable to the fund. Furthermore:

>> The G Fund rate is calculated by the U.S. Treasury as the weighted average yield of approximately 183 U.S. Treasury securities on the last day of the previous month.

Current performance definitely does not suggest otherwise! Over Waymo's first million miles, it was involved in two collisions, one of them at-fault. The average for human drivers is 5.3 collisions per million miles.

What a bogus claim. No piece of working software of any merit was ever written before Agile!

... um, I joke, but this is the attitude I see from every proponent of agile. "How can a team possibly deliver a product on time without sprints and ceremonies"? I've seen serious discussions about whether to use "Kanban" or "Scrum." They're completely different, you see: one has 4 columns for your open/to-do/in-progress/complete tasks, whereas the other has a list view for your open/to-do/in-progress/complete tasks!

"Agile" has bugged the hell out of me the last 13 years, and one of the main reasons is that the people who push for this the loudest, have never deployed a line of code in their lives: Project Managers and their ilk. Their livelihood depends on owning a process and reporting the state transitions of the actual engineering work.

I'm forced to have 2-week sprints at my company, and I just realized today that the Sprint Planning calendar entry --which I own for my team-- had expired a couple of weeks ago. Of course, no one on the team noticed because we're actually heads down merging code. But I'm sure the PMs will freak out.

Now, all that said, I do support teams meeting every 2 weeks to review tasks and priorities. That's fine. But do we have to pretend that's "Agile"?
>disc brakes suck. Like 90% of disc brake users just got roped into a heavier braking system which they dont need. I stop on appalacian hills hauling my 3 year old with rim brakes, and they help keep my bike light. Kool Stop braking pads are not a "poisoned offering" but standard brake pads on new Cannondale, trek, etc WILL deatroy your rim multipules of times faster than Kool Stop pads. Blame money.

No, disc brakes are a godsend. They don't touch your rims at all, and they actually work in rain, mud, etc.

>The water resistant ratings are not up to the challenge of "car replacement" or even letting your ebike get rained on. Their ip rating is for puddles, light rain, a quick fast pour every now and then.

All the ebikes where I live work just fine in the rain, and with being left outside during typhoons.
>that reads to me as saying that, whatever the GP thinks, it is wrong.

let me give you an example sentence and you tell me if the word "abstracted" makes sense, in context:

"the accounting spreadsheet abstracts away all of the calculus because all the numbers are written down exhaustively"
Some GPU operations give different results depending on the order they are done. This happens because floating point numbers are approximations and lose associativity. Requiring a strict order causes a big slowdown.

Let agents interact with the world through tool calling
SF voters don't get to vote for or against the Pope.
People often seperate the two concepts:
1. AI agents calling tools;
2. AI agents interacting with the world.
But they are the same thing actually.

Most major projects can have an iteration delivered in 2 to 4 weeks. It might be a trivial component of the entire system, but it's still progress.

I'm on a multi-month project. Our first sprint's goal is:

* Get the repos in place.

* Get a dummy endpoint running and deployed

* Derisk some things on the FE

It's not much different than building, say a house. You can demonstrate progress in small pieces. Foundation poured, framing up, roof on, sheathing on, etc, etc.
Oh, how is this different to https://rive.app/ ?

> How and when did you realise this power that comes with learning mathematics?

I had an amazing first semester Calculus teacher when I was a freshman in college. The scales fell from my eyes and I eventually switched my major from Chemistry to Mathematics.
Hilarious that this is downvoted.
No one is expecting you to build the entire thing in 2-4 weeks (1-4 weeks to be accurate if we're talking Scrum). The intent is to have a potentially shippable increment at the end of 1-4 weeks which you can demo to a customer (or someone who can credibly speak for them) and get feedback.

The idea is that when you combine software, markets, and people's opinions, you're now in a complex adaptive system, where you acting within the system changes the system, and where you can never know enough about it to make long-term plans any more than you can forecast what the weather will be on management's "due date." So you use fast feedback loops to learn as you go and build the right thing as it's needed now, not two years ago.

I'm glad to announce a new feature that just came to airgeek - Route Market Share.

You can now explore the market share (how many seats and flights each airline operates) for each route. This tool can give a quick answer to those who wonder like me how each route is divided among airline operators, instead of having to go to another site to count them myself.

Enjoy, play around and let me know how you think.
Tailscale doesn't offer an official self-hosted control server, right? That seems to be an advantage of NetMaker.

It has no equivalent to tailnet lock, though, as far as I can tell.
As usual, the ChatGPT summary is terrible (). It completely missed the part where you can buy access to their BigBlueButton server by becoming a sustaining member. (Does that let you call non-sustaining members?)

lately i've been doing things on aws cloudfront. one annoying thing, though, the unmodified format of the file cannot be opened as is by many csv viewers. for example, in excel, import from csv file won't detect the columns properly because of the first line (#version1.0).

when i open it using modern csv, the header is detected as a single column while the rest of the data is being read just fine.

Lottie is open source, it's been spun off from Airbnb (https://medium.com/airbnb-engineering/continuing-our-support...), and while I agree that the questions at the end of your post are valid, I don't think putting more "about them" is how to answer them - afaik where your 'data' is going has nothing to do with where the founders worked/lived.
In Australia, "pawpaw" is a name for the yellow papaya, a variety of Carica papaya.

If the person you replied to both 1) is Australian, and 2) did not read enough of the article to realize it was not talking about yellow papaya, then their confusion is legitimate.
And this is why many agilists prefer to use the term "iteration," because "sprint" can be conveniently "misinterpreted" by toxic managers.
If you read TFA, it's abundantly clear that the author is talking about death marches (they even use that word), not the agile meaning of 'sprint'.

> unlocks their use as computer memory

The big asterisk on that being "at 5 Kelvin".
"Every" is a pretty big word, and it's a pretty immature attitude to write off whole groups of people.

You also don't seem to have much understanding of any of the key concepts of Scrum, Agile, or Kanban beyond "merging code is all that matters!" News flash: you "merge code" for a business who has business requirements and customers, and if you ship the wrong stuff, all you've accomplished is lighting lots of money on fire and wasting your professional life.

It's a common attitude among immature devs who can't get beyond the whole "I have the most important job in the company" mindset. I'd expect it out of a junior dev, but someone who has 13 years of experience? That's not the flex you think it is.

I will once there is a federated alternative with reasonable feature parity that I can operate an instance of on AWS.

I’m not willing to play security/regression whack-a-mole, so the server needs to be under 10k lines of code, have minimal dependencies and be written in a statically typed language.
That doesn't match the way people use the term though. Pleroma and Akkoma implement the Mastodon API but wouldn't be called Mastodon instances since they aren't running Mastodon.

The echo has changed how I use tech in my home. It's been a plus. It's only been a bit less than 10 years. I think it's only going to get better going forward. But even if it does not, I will continue to be a fan.
At every former company, where we tried to use Agile or sprints, we ended up reaching a system where we just had basically "one big rolling sprint". Every two weeks, only a few tasks were actually done, and every task got pulled into the next "sprint".

Combine this with the fact that we weren't delivering any artifacts at the end of the sprint, so we didn't have any feedback from stakeholders and weren't really iterating either.
Yeah I hate my manager for complicated UIs, slow load times, complicated queries, lots of ways the setup can fail, and generally making everything into a complex platform rather than just putting tickets in a column. Totally not a product design problem.
Disagree. I once worked at a place where 'death march' was an entirely appropriate description of a significant portion of the normal annual development cycle of a very successful product.

Of course they didn't call it that, but that's exactly what it was nonetheless.
GCP offering 200Gb free egress on their Standard Tier
[received by email]

We are writing to let you know that starting October 1, 2023, all existing and new Standard Tier Egress customers will avail their first 200 GB for free in every region that they choose to operate, after which Standard Tier will be billed at current rates.

What do you need to know?
The 200 GB meter will reset every month. We’re introducing this offer to make it frictionless for customers to start using Standard Tier egress with their Virtual Machines.

Today, there is no free usage tier for Standard Tier Egress. With this MSA, we are introducing a free tier of egress to our Standard tier customers.

What do you need to do?
No action is required on your part. However, if you currently consume Standard Tier Egress, you will notice a slight reduction in the billed amount starting October 1, 2023. You can also review our standard billing rates.

Thanks for choosing Standard Tier Egress

What counts is that supposed to refer to?

To be clear, I didn't mean that capitalism or communism is worst or even equivalent on all matters.

I'm unsure of what you mean with body count here, and have no clue of what metrics and quantifications it is supposed to show meaningful important differences.
The uncertainty is epistemic not aleatoric. The percentage represents our knowledge about the system at the time of measurement propagated through the forward model and is not an inherit random process in the system/model itself.
> If you don’t finish the work you had planned to during a sprint then you fail the sprint, talk about why during the retro, then do a better job of allocating work in the next sprint.

You don't even "fail" the sprint, that's a bad attitude. You just consider work spilled over and take on less work + spillover work next sprint.

There's only cause for concern if you repeatedly have spillovers every sprint - that's usually mostly a manager issue, and sometimes IC's.

Ideally you only have spillovers because of things that were not under your control - power outages, 3rd party vendor outages, etc.
