Sorry, but that's a catch-all defense. You're either doing too much Scrum, or not enough, and if it's not working you're doing it wrong. But the Party is always right, no matter what! Read our manifesto and attend some certificated training.
Google "Andrew Left citron research evergrande". He explained it all in 2012, was banned from Hong Kong trading for 5 years as a result, just when Evergrande finally grew its ponzi scheme too big.

Long story short: the head of Evergrande was politically connected, helped build China on borrowed money, had no credible plan to ever repay all these loans, one day China decided to stop leveraging and Evergrande had to unwind... except it couldn't because it didn't have enough actual money to repay loans quickly. Too bad their bonds were sold to everyone and their grandmothers in China to try to find yields in the no-interest environment. Now that interest rates are back, nobody want junk Evergrande bonds anyway. Catch-22.
There is a university there whose name would directly translate to "Kinki University". They opted to editorialize it a bit before going international (they go by "Kindai University" outside of Japan).
Agreed, however;

> We prohibited laptops in meetings. We had to stand. We passed a ball around to keep everyone paying attention.

I think the no-laptop thing is good, and unsurprisingly, it has nothing to do with Scrum.

> Story points measure complexity, not time, but we had to decide how many story points fit in a sprint.

Out of all the bullshit that makes up Scrum and (what has become) "Agile", this is the one that clogs the toilet. I can imagine a world where this idea of "complexity, not time" is done properly, but it's not this one.

Srumm is Agile™. Real Agile means working in incredibly fast feedback loops, to the point where you can't tell it's part of a process, because it's all working so fluidly. Trying to put that into a series of rigid set meetings is the antithesis of that.

> Or do you think places are making apps that no one uses?

Of course, because apps are "modern". You've never seen an app that should have been a website? I know of multiple places that had shitty apps built for extremely narrow use cases that had close to zero use outside of the team that ordered it (while it was meant for a wider audience).

And yes, I'm genuinely baffled people will bother downloading an app for a very limited use, like the transit of a place they'll visit once for a few days at most (especially considering there's Google/Apple Maps, Citymapper Transit; unless you can buy tickets through the app it's a waste on top of a waste). Has it been ingrained to such an extent that phone == app? Or is that an iOS thing, or maybe an American thing?
Honestly prefer that to a diffuse, multi-headed hydra of private landlords. At least in one of those two scenarios, the target is obvious and can be reckoned with.
> what's the problem

The problem is you assume they're legit. Who says they actually completed the projects (houses)? Who says there are no defects and that people can live in them? How do you even come to that conclusion? Just assume in good faith?
I agree with you, but it might not be completely irrational to buy an about to be bankrupt company. If the assets on book is sufficiently larger than the stock price, investors might get a payout when it gets sold off after fees. When Enron was liquidated, the last investors that bought the stock ended with an 8x RoI (according to an Acquired episode). Still an insane gamble obviously.
It seems like many Americans are really confused about weights and volumes, because of this unit system.

Like if you say to use 300g of flour, the response will automatically be « How many cups is that ? ». And the answer is that you can’t measure flour correctly by volume.
Most serious carbon tax proposals seem to be for revenue neutral taxes. Tax carbon at the source, distribute the tax equally among the population.

Under such a tax the distribution to that $20k a year bike commuting kitchen worker would probably be significantly more than the amount the carbon tax has raised their costs.

That CEO on the other hand would see the costs to operate their jet go up way more than their share of the carbon tax distribution.

They told me, people would drink themselves to death more easily. So it was only reserved for people who were clearly in control, I may have seen one patient with it and hundreds of hardcore alcoholics.
The patient on them, needed to be isolated and we all got informed to not give him alcohol under any circumstances.
Which is much more difficult, then one would think. These people always talk about alcohol romantically.

The alcoholis always find a way to get to alcohol, we had a reductive approach on station. There was 2 beers a day, one with breakfast and one with a late dinner. Which was offered open and could be willingly declined, it rarely was.
If problem arose during the stay, we had shots of clear alcohol, just don't show the bottle.
This was for the hardcore patients, who couldn't even walk otherwise. Get a shot, get an x-ray, really speed things along.
The idea was to get them down to a state, were you could manage them somewhat, reduce their pressure and then offer treatment for their other ills, which was our responsibility.
It is extremely difficult, we had people drink perfume and hand sanitizer, because we didn't offer the beers and their alcoholism slipped under the radar. They would never admit to drinking. Alcoholism is such a crazy disease, these people can emotionally blackmail others to bring them alcohol and lieing is part of the disease. Those people ignore or don't even comprehend that they are drinking sometimes.
Beer and Champaign aren't alcohol to them and are ignored, they will tell you they haven't had a drink in a three weeks stay, having 2 beers a day and half a bottle of liquor, that you provided. It is crazy.

Giving them medication, that can kill them when they empty their bottle of liquor, is stupid.

Seems impossible, to have a medication that eliviates the effects of hardcore alcohol withdrawal, but is also harmless with a bottle of hard liquor.
Maybe I'm wrong here, but sounds to good to be true.

I don't believe in magic pills. Try honesty, the self-delusion of alcohol is the big problem. Pills are another form of delusion.
Just accept to feel horrible for a while as part of the process?
Or is taking a pill so vastly different from talking a shot of liquor?

If you have a stable setup that does not need changes as you grow, chances are you're not growing fast enough, or at all.

New and thus inherently unstable things may allow order of magnitude jumps in efficiency, and, again, getting onto a growth trajectory.

Dropping VMS and Solaris in 1997 and switching to Linux was switching from stable software and hardware to unstable, but such that had a growth potential. Switching from bare metal and colocation to AWS in 2009, the same. Switching from highly advanced ICE to electric motors and huge lithium batteries in 2007, the same.

If all that you value is stability [ed: of your setup], the amount of wealth you own will also stay the same, at best. Stable things need to be stepping stones into the unstable, uncertain future that may bring something bigger.
> any software whose license doesn't belong to the OSI's list is proprietary software.

This is an absurd interpretation from someone who does not understand why people actually even care about Open Source.

Any license that meets the currently accepted definition of "Open Source" should be considered "Open Source" (tautological, I know). Whether it's in a list by some organization or not is mostly irrelevant. Having the OSI list is useful only because it helps people check whether a certain license adheres to the definition or not... but if the license is not in the list, you could still check yourself whether it meets the definition, and if it does, it's Open Source.

Now, one could argue about who "owns" the definition of Open Source... well, then yes, I would agree that OSI's is the most widely accepted definition and everyone does well to try to follow that. That does NOT imply only OSI has the right to claim a license is open source!

"What hardware giveth, software taketh away."

In the case of Apple, it's often Apple software eating up the benefits of Apple hardware.

Unfortunately subtle differences (such as improved reliability/security or a streamlined workflow) are lost in the computing market, where people are attracted to the new and shiny rather than the old and usable. Also designers like to mess with things.

In practice, when navigating by pen and paper, what you do is you measure a distance on the chart with a divider, then you put the divider (with the previously measured distance set) to the north-south scale on the side of the chart to read out the distance in nautical miles.

Now, of course, in principle charts could have a separate scale for distances in km, and we could use km for navigation just fine. But, well, I've never seen a nautical chart with such a scale.

alternative title: “how to cope with depression after a break up” by Conan O brien’s web guy

Agree with no beer and limited alcohol. That saved me 10 lbs without working out. However, if you cannot live without beer or some other sugary treat, prepare to do a lot of cardio. It’s more of a preventative measure though. I find using VR for cardio workouts help a lot to counter the monotony with a wide variety of video games. I constantly tell myself that I’m just playing a video game.

As others have wrote, intermittent fasting is really great for portion control and general health.

If you really want to lose weight, you can’t really avoid weight lifting or resistance training. I feel with AR this will also get gamified just like cardio. Apple fitness helps with this, but I think there is now an AR Quest app that focuses on weights too

This is a terrible list of suggestions.

Get a calorie counting app. I use Waistline which is open source.

Actually use it: enter everything. Find out the calorie values.

And then re-assess what you're eating after you have some actual data to work with.

There are plenty of metabolic rate calculators online: you don't need to be super accurate, you need to be consistent and follow the data (i.e. if you're still gaining weight then you're either not entering things into the app or you now know your BMR is lower than expected so you adjust accordingly).
The teachers joining protest against dress code in no way implies "focus is on individual self-actualization, and questioning authority, hierarchy, elders, and norms. It’s about what society owes individuals (“rights”) instead of what individuals owe society. "

The protest can mean a lot of things, including the dress code itself being against the norms of the community. One does not need to focus on questioning authority to protest bad decisions.

Also, I am not American.
The Waterfall horror stories as told by Agile/Scrum people are tailored to support their narrative.

That kind of Pure/Classical Waterfall maybe happend at government or public sector projects, not in the tech companies.

What most people mean by "waterfall" is anything with Upfront Design phase. I never encountered pure wtarfall at tech companies, the closest was RUP (Rational Unified Process), but it has overlapping phases and iterations. It's modern iteration are various mini-waterfall SDLCs (e.g. Event Modeling, Shape Up).

I still think iOS was more fun in the Forstall-skeuomorphic era, and screen elements were easier to differentiate.

macOS icons also used to have distinct silhouettes which made them easier to distinguish, but now everything is a square tile. Screen controls which used to be visible and targetable are now hidden and are harder to hit when they do appear.

It feels like we are still under the tyranny of the (Jony Ivian?) streamlined aesthetic over usability and functionality, as if a library decided to organize books by size and color.

>What good alternatives are there to AC, however

Frankly, (IMO) there isn't. You can mitigate via materials, or use regional venacular only so much. And we shouldn't even try too hard with design outside of suburban density. Can't control what gets built next in dense enviroments that will interact with urban fabric to fuck up passive designs. So many sustainable projects have ended up dramatically underperforming / duds, and they've already benefit from kids of attention/engineering 99% of buildings won't. There are some ways to standardize cost efficient, sensible designs. But better off figuring out how to get power cheaper to fuel those ACs.
There were so many remains in the Siberian north, the 'hunting to extinction' doesn't work in the Arctic. Given the voluminous evidence, it took something else.

"These islands were full of mammoth bones, and the quantity of tusks and teeth of elephants and rhinoceroses, found in the newly discovered island of New Siberia, were perfectly amazing, and surpassed anything which had as yet been discovered.... Hedenstrőm started from Ustyansk, near the mouth of the Yana, on March 19th, 1809, taking with him two companions, and for three consecutive seasons they examined the islands.

Hedenstrőm found that the quantity of fossil ivory on the first island found by Liakoff (i.e., Liakoffs Island) was so enormous, that, although the ivory diggers had been engaged in collecting ivory from it for forty years, the supply seemed to be quite undiminished."

Not quite so. You need to explicitly run a linter, then look up the code lines that it's complaining about. In an IDE, you will have the lines marked while you are writing the code. Plus you get code completion and so on.

Working in a pure text editor works if you have a relatively small piece of code you can focus on while working, but I've seen very experienced engineers become extremely slow or completely fail with their vim setup when they suddenly work on something that's beyond the 20k line mark.

For what it is worth, Ada was not "designed by committee" more than most languages. It was designed by a design team, and in each revision, there was a strong technical leader of the design team, with the whole design team sharing a strong design aesthetic. I doubt you could say even that about many mainstream languages these days.
The worst part of Scrum/Agile is that you formalize everything. Reducing technical debt, improving CI/CD, research and innovation sprints..

Until, of course, the things you want to improve are never in the sprint and you have no free day to tackle anything you want (and the project needs), ever.

Well, nowadays the meter is defined in terms of the second, so that would be a circular definition. ;)
All of the methods mentioned are based on a reasonable core. It muddles the waters and make the snake oil marketing - the "this is the cure to it all" discourse - harder to dismiss. Testing is good. Planning is good. Discussing the project is good. But these things are beside the point of op. The point is, these cargo cults are designed to make consultants money. Now they have a lot of inertia because people grow up on it.

It seems like the new generation of software development silver bullets is "microservice", cloud "devops" etc... Managed kubernetes is not a bad thing. Configuration files, software defined infrastructure, etc, not bad things at all. But there is a definite market push in consulting for overtly complicated frameworks as The Way and people who are anxious about their complicated projects gobble it up.
I strongly disagree. Not converting the int to a string automatically is absolutely the right decision. In all code I write, this TypeError would catch an actual error, because concatenation of strings is just not the right tool for creating "abc123" from "abc" and 123, so I would not use it for that. Hence, if this exception occurs, it indicates that I probably mixed up variables somewhere. Use one of the (admittedly too) many string formatting tools that Python offers, for example an f-string like f"abc{123}". (Also, if you have enough type annotations in your code, the type checker will warn you about these, so you can fix them before they hit testing or even production.)
AFAIK on electronic devices, they use Hiragana and the autocomplete "translates" in Kanji. People here point out that they cannot drop Kanji because of homophones, so I guess that autocomplete turns really fast into "autocorrupt" if you don't know your Kanji.
But I think electronic dictionaries are a great relief.
I think Lisp won that battle. The core syntax was named after actual cpu registers (cdr/car).
Unit conversions are inconvenient for sure, but I think the worst part is actually fractional length measurements.

Screw sizes also get affected by this.

Internet cafes were extremely popular in tourist destinations up until about 2010 or so. Smartphones (and free wifi) seems to have killed the market for them for the most part.

I spent way too much time and money in Internet cafes in my 20s. I remember there was a coin operated kiosk in the admins office of staff housing in Lake Louise (a ski resort). I probably spent half my wages feeding in coins to mostly browse Slashdot. I also have fond memories of one internet cafe in Queenstown, NZ. All the PCs were running Debian and you could just open up the terminal and trivially reset the timer by echoing a new start time into some file. No one ever seemed to notice that I only paid for 30 minutes and sat there for hours on end!
