I once worked at a place that did Scrum for the exact reasons you mentioned.

Every user story was the same - “As a business owner, I want users to be able to do x”. Defeats the entire purposes of user stories. But they were told they had to write stories. So they did.

We also had our work planned out 6-12 months in advance.

It was top-down waterfall disguised as agile, which would have been acceptable if we didn’t also waste 5+ hours a week in daily standups (aka status reports), sprint planning, retros, story breakdowns, all of which were scheduled at the most inconvenient of times to ensure they interrupted your flow.
Ah yeah I had a boss that wanted me to open tickets, estimate them, plan them, do them, to fix 1 line issues that I would randomly find working on other tasks.

Normally I just fix them within a separate commit.
Depends on the actual license: if it's regular GPL, the answer is no. If it's AGPL, then yes.
If Google breaks the framework I built, I still blame Google.
There wasn't an open source compiler from the beginning, and thus a lot of the compilers where expensive. You could only use the language in an awful legacy setting behind a wall of NDAs and security clearances. Not my experience, just a bunch comments on HN of actual retired Ada devs on why the language didn't take when I was researching the language.

Adacore in the last few years have been investing heavily in modernizing the tool chain, but now it seems they are also investing in Rust.
Unless they measure time left till the end of the universe, then it should be a linear progress bar as well!
probably not much more than you can tell by looking at it. there's no way to hide in space except by bringing your own cover. other than what it looks like, they know its mass, how to move it around, and how it physically separates from the launch vehicle. not particularly interesting
> the currently accepted definition of "Open Source"

And that's the problem. I'd say anything between (and including) "Source is available" and "only Free Software" is sufficiently common.
> But a familiarity with the structural conventions helps the listener contextualize the listening experience. If I listen to Mozart or Haydn, I should expect that I’m going to hear something in sonata form

TBH I listened to (and attended lives performances of) what must be hundreds of hours of Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven string quartets and such, before I finally bothered to look up "sonata form" not too long ago. I can't say the lack of knowledge about the exact [:Expo:][:Devt+Recap:] structure impacted my enjoyment or appreciation of it. I mean, one quickly picks up on the repeated motifs and the "now back to the beginning" patterns without specifically picking out the expo/dev/recap sections.
Completely agree, it has always bothered me as well. To me it (strongly) implies rushing, and I don't believe that constantly keeping your team in a stressful state where you are always rushing or 'sprinting' towards the next goal is a good sustainable long-term strategy.
Now change that first number from 6.112 to 6.789 and watch that same child stumble.

I've always found it curious how Europeans pride themselves in speaking their native tongue + English...except its always a cultural flame war-inciting impediment when the communication barrier involves a mere arithmetic unit conversion. Doubly ironic when most of the world is consciously aware of what the prevailing USD exchange rate with their native currency is without complaint, whereas the average American simply doesn't have a clue how many Euros a US dollar gets them.

Similarly, if the Brits want to reference weight in stone, or Canadians want to sell me lumber in board-foot, I don't find that offensive in the least; I'm of the position that the impetus is on me to understand their measure, not for the one communicating to conform to my norms.
I see humans do this all the time, especially abuse of exception handling, even among “Senior” developers. They don’t have a semantic understanding of what they are doing or why they are creating a race conditions or creating perverse control flow logic N layers down in the stack.

The fact that researchers get it wrong is, well, unsurprising. LLMs might actually be an improvement.
Only as a verification step though, not to obtain the actual binary, which will be included in the .crate package, where it IMO should not be put.
> I think GPT4 right now is about on-par with a mid level developer.

At writing code, that might be a slight exaggeration. At explaining code it's at least at mid level, possibly better.
Note that many animal species have the ability to store millions of sperm or fertilized eggs from other individuals for many years.

Such a behaviour might be a way to increase genetic diversity while populations are tiny.

Note that tiny populations can occur frequently when the environment has millions of barriers between tiny populations - eg. a water dwelling creature living in millions of tiny pools and unable to pass from one pool to the next until there is a major flood, which might only be once per thousand years.

Correct, but if and only if every involved party is completely trustworthy. Which would be naive, and is why independent replication is important.
This will cause Australia's first recession in over thirty years. Chinese steel is made from Australian iron ore, which is Australia's biggest export.

At the start of the Global Financial Crisis, the Chinese government stimulated the domestic housing market, which was the start of this bubble, but the demand for steel was enough to ensure that Australia suffered no economic downturn at all.

All that's about to come crashing down.

JVM solves a very different problem. It makes some very strong assumptions: everything is an object (no functions!), garbage collection, no easy structs, etc. All this prevents easy porting of lots of existing software written in C, C++, Fortran, etc. In exchange you can be oblivious of the underlying OS and even CPU architecture.

Instead, x64 virtualization easily allows to run not just your existing software, but your existing OS, at practically native speed.
If you take the point of view that LLM's have been trained on all the code that humans write, then that sort of things is probably 'correct' to the model.

For coding it seems like there almost needs to be a weighting to certain 'correct and orthodox' handling of events if you're going to give over control of code generation to an LLM.

> The elephant in the room is Kubernetes, which [...] often gets used as the go-to even where it doesn't make sense either because it's popular or because that's what people know

Or because folks want to pad their resume with k8s, which is what I'm seeing at work most of the time.
These questions indicate a misunderstanding of how markets inside China work. I suggest you don't look at "what makes sense" but more look at the reality of what's happening.

What you are also missing is that sometimes, parties are not allowed to abandon ship. Couples who have bought homes with mortgages but are not moved in for years are not allowed to give up, they are not allowed to stop paying on threat of imprisonment.

The organizations on the countersign are also not allowed to give up on mortgages because the existence of their company is at the will of the government.

There was an uprising where people banded together and just stopped paying their mortgages and basically threatened the local police to mass arrest them, and that's one of the things that spurred the greater bankruptcy, because the government didn't really want to arrest all the people, cause that would indicate they are not in control. And seeming to be in control is what the government will opt for every single time in every single decision they make.
> > I’d argue that you’re way better off hiring 6 devs that can go from business problem -> technical solution in their head, without all the ceremony, instead of 40 devs who can’t and 6 PMs to wrangle them.

> The problem is that finding those 6 experienced devs is _HARD_. And they're usually very expensive and know their value.

It's harder than finding uncaring juniors, sure.

But if you need 40+6 people, or 6 experienced people, that's nearly 8x salary.

In silicon valley money, you'll need to pay those uncaring juniors about 150K.

I guarantee you that you can very easily find those 6 experienced people in a few weeks if you're offering over $1M/yr to them. In a month you can staff all 6 positions.

If you're saying you want ~8x performance but not interested in paying ~8x salary.. then yes, it's harder to find the people.
They probably mean that they can’t get past the fact that it looks more like Algol or Pascal than C. Which is, frankly, a pretty silly argument.

I’ve heard this exact argument about VHDL versus Verilog, with the former being explicitly based on Ada’s syntax and the latter being explicitly based on C’s. (Turns out though that VHDL is also strictly better than at least traditional Verilog, as it requires separate interface specifications which lead to improved modularity.)

If anyone were to actually try to create “Ada: The Next Generation” I’d encourage you to just go all the way to S-expressions. Focus on the completeness and correctness of _the system_ and stop worrying about superficial complaints—or brush them off with a suggestion that they can use any syntax they want and just translate it to the standard one via tree-walking.
I thought it was; help me understand where I'm wrong.

Yes and no. These notices started last year, but back then targeted lower API levels, which is why OP might not have seen them until now.

But it's true that the first notice was sent months before the time limit, so he might have missed previous warnings.

Any Jerry Pournelle fans here? One thing he said was that to become a proficient writer, you needed to write enough to fill a steamer trunk and his view was that the trunk full of writing was not fit to publish and the biggest sin in writing was selling anything in that trunk after you became recognized as a writer because it was only accepted because of its provenance and not its quality.
These probably aren’t the homes Evergrande has sold, mostly in south China. Ordos Kangbashi will never be populated because coal is on the way new out, a true ghost city that is only categorized as a success via goal post moving and lots of demolition (Ordos itself isn’t a ghost town, just this new district).

The article talks about buildings in kunming being demolished. While kunming definitely went through a big bubble, I would hardly call it a ghost town now.

That expectation is off by nearly a decade. WASM games in terms of performance are closer to 2000 than 2010. Here's an open source indie game from 2003 that I ported to WASM [1]. It struggles to hit 60 FPS on devices that were released a good 15 years after the game itself. Browsers sometimes struggle to animate simple lines at 60 FPS still to this day, because they're just hugely massive platforms with thousands of moving parts with no room for big, complex apps on top of them.

This creates a situation where developer and homeowner interests aren’t aligned. Once the developer receives the money, they are not incentivized to deliver the house on time or do quality construction.

The other model, where investors fund development before the house is sold, aligns both parties. The developer/investor wants to produce a good product so that it will sell at a high price and the buyer has the chance to inspect the property before purchasing.
Sadly due to semiconductor shortage, physical Suica cards are very hard to come by atm: https://www.timeout.com/tokyo/news/sale-of-pasmo-and-suica-c...

FWIW I've been using Suica on a Japanese Garmin smart watch and refilling it with Google Pay on an international card without too many problems (and before that with Apple Pay with the same card on iPhone/Apple Watch), although there are probably some gotchas (Apple Pay at POS seems to be pretty hit and miss for in Tokyo and I've never figured out why).

The most disapointing thing about milk bags is the lack of milk bag holder pitcher variety. One would think there would be an entire market for this kind of wares, but it's mostly a few uninspired generic plastic designs you can buy for 2 bucks. I think I saw 1 handsome stainless steel one in my lifetime and after seeing all the overpriced ($30-50) products availble, I'm pretty sure that pitcher was fabricated by someone who also hates state of milk pitcher consumer products.
If the assets are worth 10 but the debt is 100, creditors will not have anything of value transferred, and will have to write down a loss.

This could be a small impact or a big one.

If you are a person who was relying on those assets for income for your retirement this might mean you no longer have enough to live by. If you are a company you might in turn be forced to fold. If you're a stablecoin that bought evergrande bonds you might be forced to show you have no baking of your emissions..
Ouch, I wasn't prepared to read this post.
That has not been my experience. But a physical whiteboard doesn't get distributed to millions of people over potentially hundreds of years or more. If it were, then at that point you may as well take the time to get it right. You contribute to bikeshedding when you whine about how the position of the box doesn't matter. Let them put it wherever they want then if it doesn't matter.
Thank you for doing that :) Yeah, I’m pretty sure I typed it that way more than once. Especially if all you remembered was “FF”.

The way they operate right now. There used to be plenty of seconds of delay.
Maybe he thinks his own disappointments could have been avoided by better communication, and thus his advice is to "learn to communicate well, not just to code".

It's not bad advice on its own, but I sense this is a naive view of communication and what problems communication can solve.

Communication can not make people agree with ideas that are orthogonal to their world-views or philosophies if those serve as pillars/supports/moats for their security. Diffuse but I can't articulate it better now (... the irony).
> yeah, and because Chinese citizens are outraged by Fukushima release, they are boycotting Japanese seafood, and in general all seafood, which has decimated the entire seafood industry in China overnight, with no traffic to seafood market or restaurants.

This one is hilarious. China imports very little seafood from Japan, and they just single handedly tanked their domestic seafood industry for a few bananas worth of radiation.

Science needs objectivity but it demands passion - a scientific life is hard, painstaking and long, that without something driving the scientist the effort is too much. Yes money helps, but most could make more elsewhere.

This balance takes us to odd places. Announcing super conductors that aren't quite there, seeing one author through words glanced sideways, but also studying worms in English gardens or photographic plates of stars for months on end, the same passions and the same failings lead us to success or failure
Abandon is a good word, because the return you describe seems to be passive. Many of the abandoned sites have lots of belongings left behind, with no sign of active clean-up effort. Since the intention that can be read from the signs is "leaving", the act is best described as "abandoning".
It's a theory at least.
For me, it is the oblivion and missing out on everything that will follow. I have known so many wonderful people, and seen and experienced as much as I have been able to manage so far, and it's all not even the shallowest mark compared to everything I'll miss out on. I've been driven as long as I can remember by an interest in nearly everything, and one day, it will all be gone for me.

I wouldn't say I fear this, exactly. It's an inevitability. I've had enough close calls that I know peace comes after fear. Still though, it's unsettling, and so far no philosophy or introspection has made it less so, and the only treatment I've found for it is more good people and more life.
From direct experience, instability and uncertainty less to your customers getting angry on twitter and fucking off rather quickly. All they want is to do what they did yesterday without being poked in the eye.

The whole move fast, break things and grow quickly is a cancer that compromises everything not a commercial win. When you put yourself before your customers you fucked up.
Many European cities compromise, by running trains overnight on Friday and Saturday nights, but using only buses on Sunday-Thursday nights.

(Tokyo seems not even to have buses running at night, which is really strange.)

I disagree, it is easier to hide back doors in binaries than in source code. "some RE" is way harder to do on scale than looking at diffs of source code. But yes, it's also possible to put back doors into source code as well.

Still, I think in the open source world, the primary distribution method, at least the one emanating from the original developer, should be in forms of source code, to ensure that the original developer can't include special closed source features. Also, for end users it's easier when the source code is available, then they can rebuild things using standardized methodology. all the distro packages have a bunch of commands you can run and then you can rebuild the distro package.

Show HN: LLMStack – Low-Code Platform for Building LLM Apps with LocalAI Support
Totally. It's a story about love and yet that's not the thing most people are responding to.

I notice this a lot. When I wrote a blog post about the Remarkable 2 recently and it ended up on HN, very few of the comments were about my article - instead they were all about other people's thoughts on the Remarkable. This is ok, of course, but it's interesting to me that this is often how it goes on here. I wonder if it's high levels of self-absorption in HN readers or just a more widespread thing online where people respond to headlines rather than in-depth articles.
Worst that can happen? If banks have used peoples' savings to purchase Evergrande debt or anything related then the banks may not get repaid which would result in the banks losing peoples' money leading to people spending less money resulting in a recession or depression.
What's the definition of 'failed state'? For example Venezuela had hyperinflation a couple of years ago and people couldn't access everyday essentials, Colombia was sending toilet paper as aid. My personal experience is that, life has got more expensive and my purchasing power is quite a lot less which is frustrating but not yet massively problematic. I'm at the lower end in terms of income. I have seen in the news that there are a lot of people who are doing worse than I am in this respect but I haven't actually seen that in anyone around me.
This was probably also due to impedance matching between all the lines involved.

Digital signals (when using N/P balanced lines) also have this problem, to a lesser extent. Some CAD EE design software have ways to design squiggly traces to balanced impedances in traces that have to go around corners on the PCB and end up with different lengths.
