I think the biggest risk to scrum as a methodology is the fact that when it so frequently fails, its defenders constantly fall back on "but that wasn't true scrum". Like, that's 90% of all the posts here defending scrum. Yet the things this guy describes are recognizable to many of us, perhaps it's an extreme case but not that extreme.
Wow, I had no idea Aaliyah didn't want to fly and they drugged her and carried her into the plane unconscious. Jeez.
For a retrospective analysis? No.

And for a study showing an effect of 1% change (maybe) That’s no different than zero.

No, it’s not anything close to “believe this is true”.
The important thing is that old programs and libraries keep working.

Some features were removed from the standard, and modern compilers are much better at detecting errors (and are much stricter than they used to be by default), but all of them have a switch to make them work with random codes from the 1980s.

There is an awful lot of new features on top of that (things like first-class multidimensional arrays language-level parallelism, object orientation, modules, etc), but old software keeps working.

Mid-Infrared Instrument Operations Update
> autonomous flight (GPS) through an interface that can be installed on an Android tablet. In case of jamming, the flight continues because the drone can locate itself according to its speed and direction.

In case anyone is wondering how that works, it uses on-board IMS (Inertial Navigation System) in the absence of GNSS signal, which usually has several sensors like accelerometers (to measure motion in 3D directions) gyro (to stabilize pitch roll yaw drift) and magnetometer (compass for yaw direction), these sensors will provide the drone pointing directions and how long it moved since it started, couple this with on board maps and you have a flight with no GNSS. Is it accurate like GNSS? Not cm or even meters level, but that depends on how good the IMS is. Also, you can have plenty of these cardboard models, or even 3D printable one of you are into this hobby!
If you're a top-rate software engineer, you're not going to choose a career path that will trap you in some deprecated technology.

The challenge isn't that people can't learn it, it's that they don't want to because it's a bad career move.
John Ousterhout's "A Philosophy of Software Design". But this does prompt the question: If these two books about software/program design are so different then which is correct and why is there such a gap? In my experience (like kiitos above) I don't see much scope for HtDP for most industry programming and I have worked in few different domains.

If there is a working longevity treatment, do you think that other nations will tolerate it being used for US billionaires and no one else?

Literally everyone ages. 8 billion potential patients on the planet, with the population still growing. If you sell the cure for USD 100 to half of them, you make a lot more money (real money, not just market value) than Elon Musk.

Salaries for software engineers at a US national labs like LANL don't deviate far from the $100k range [1]. For many projects, a security clearance and on-site presence are required. Add to that the requirement to train and use Fortran (old and new), the job proposition is only looking good to (1) people who love the problem domain (e.g., nuclear stockpile stewardship), (2) people who are specialized scientists who moonlight as programmers, or (3) people who simply like government lab environments (stability, science, ...).

There is a difference between +-passenger on a 7 passenger plane and a +-passenger on a 170 passenger plane, so I would not say it is a case in point.
That's true but if there is no hard divider between the spaces anything that is loose will instantly become a projectile in case of an accident.
It's not about writing, this isn't like "Hey if we write in big letters surely they can read it" because there is no reason to think people will have English or even writing at such a distance in time. These are NON-LINGUISTIC messages. Their expression as written text is for our convenience in assessing the project, which is to deliver that message without language.

"This place is best shunned and left uninhabited" isn't a useful thing to write, but it's a useful sentiment to evoke for this purpose. Construction of deliberately hostile landscapes was one potential implementation. If I can live anywhere, why would I choose to live on the vast, too hot, practically indestructible black rock the ancients have inexplicably built here ?

One of the potential options for this project was very brutal. Just deliberately leave the surface of the site slightly radioactive. People who try to live there will discover they get cancer and die, it doesn't matter whether they go "Oh, it's radioactive here, that's not good" or "The ancient curse, don't live there because the Ancients have cursed that place" it has the same functional effect which is they stop living there and don't return.

I’m puzzled by this. How hard is it to convert prices by powers of 10? Do the same thing with $/lb and $/oz, and I’d be lost.

Edit: Oh wait, I get it. It’s just that a price per 100 g is an order if magnitude less than per kg, so psychology kicks in and makes it look cheaper, even though the conversion is trivial. A bit like the 9.99 effect.
The very fact that large swaths of SE Asia doesn’t even have AC would suggest it’s not necessary for survival.
Yes, I do realize that. The fact that other parties are irresponsible is no reason to join in.
This is such a disingenuous exemple.

You declare all 3 variables on the same line in Fortran but not in C despite it being supported.

In any case, syntaxic sugar is irrelevant.
So Japan's dumping of radioactive waste into the ocean might just be one of the greatest things ever done for marine life.

This could be the first time in history that the "green" / petroleum alliance's anti-nuclear FUD has ever had a positive outcome for the environment.
I don't think you are getting downvoted because people think you are wrong. Both cobol and fortran are still in widespread use, but primarily for maintained projects that are not well understood even though they still work well. You are getting downvoted because, unlike cobol, plenty of people still like fortran. It isn't a bad language at all, it has had meaningful updates for modern HPC. So people are sad to see it go.
I was in the same boat a few years ago. I did some research on this topic and summarised here: https://sapandiwakar.in/a-review-of-mobile-development-frame...
I haven't downvoted you, but you are overlooking the forest for the trees.

Compared to the richest person alive in 1923 or 1823, or 1023 for that matter, we have a lot more at our disposal. In this sense, we are much richer than them. You could be the King of England and if you got cancer, it was lights out, no exception for His Majesty. Going still back in history, even Genghis Khan had to defecate in a desert and wipe his behind with his own fingers, though he ruled of majority of Eurasia at some point.

Contemporary people aren't all trillionaires, but they certainly enjoy a much higher standard of living than tycoons of yesterday.
Yes, which is why your flight sometimes is delayed until the refueling truck comes around.

Pilots calculate the needed fuel depending on weight of the cargo, distance to target, and meteorological conditions on the path. They can only calculate it once they've got the cargo weight (to within a certain degree.)
I lost my mother a couple weeks back, to two type 2 myocardial infarction about a week apart. Getting cancer and dying a couple months later certainly beats dying a week later.

Don't think it'd have helped much in her case (a massive aortic stenosis, hard to fix at 87), but there are others who would love to have the chance to choose the lesser of two evils.

I know she would.
Businesses opting to follow non-regulated, unenforced safety measures? Color me skeptical.

This sounds more like a way to skimp on fuel costs.

Firstly, it’s a military school and we’re talking about military achievement so the things are hardly unrelated. Secondly, it would be more surprising if there were low or no correlation between their school and military achievements.
I'm confused why you would post this, and I'm even more confused why it would make the front page. Fortran is a dying programming language, and even if they have a website now, they are still a dying language.

In essence: Fortran, please die more quickly.

A Taxonomy of Bugs (2022)
I was moments away from RMA'ing the Z13 and wanted evidence of the many hardware and software shortcomings. Thus, I have a video recording of Firefox repeatably (and repeatedly) hanging and glitching (e.g. in the video, becoming totally unresponsive unless you switch to another graphical VT and log on; other times, needing to open a new firefox instance to continue working in the current instance) and another video of the Firefox context menu constantly flickering in Fedora.

Firefox still---after years in the bug tracker---does not attempt to offer HDR support on Linux or Windows. Edge's HDR implementation might be buggy but it exists. (The Z13 OLED has an HDR calibration available.)

Chromium seemed to always have codec issues when I was using it. (not a hypochondriac, there are countless threads online with the same complaint)

So... It's either Firefox (poorly supported on this platform), something Chrome-based, or something simply poorly supported like the GNOME browser. (Aside, "Web" is possible THE worst name for an application.)
A lot of social spending around the world has been subsidized by the Pax Americana.

The practical reality is that the United States military has made most lesser militaries almost comically obsolete. Iraq was once the world’s fourth largest military and America obliterated their military within just a few weeks.
Depends if you want a license you can rely on on both sides with zero ambiguity on what is and isn't enforcable, having a few court cases confirm this is nice.

The lack of court cases has a perfectly reasonable explanation: no serious company with a legal department would bother to touch anything licensed this way. The companies most likely to be able to represent themselves in a court are also the most likely to have a policy of just blanket banning anything with this license.

As a means of alienating end users, the AGPL is an enormous success. As a means of actually enforcing what it says, it's largely unproven.
When a job I'm interested in uses a language I haven't used before I say that I've learned a couple already and I'll quickly learn the next one. I'd generally say each additional language has been easier than the last. I've landed contracts to code in languages I didn't know and got positive feedback about my performance.

Is there anything unique about Fortran that prevents experienced engineers from quickly learning it on the job?
I didn't say 'in one's head', merely used the same phrasing as nmilo.

If you're using a plotter, then actual length is presumably irrelevant - any unit would do, yes?

I was not asserting that nautical miles don't have meaning - just that their meaning is even more arbitrary than most other units of measurement, except in this case they're extra useless because they align to what they ostensibly derive from only at or near the equator.

If you want to use something 'around that size', and you're very keen on avoiding metric at all costs, then why not just use the 'upstream' unit - a minute? Obviously it still suffers from converging meridians if you measure from a plane through the sphere, but I'm not sure what number of measurement problems you're happy to contend with.
If you are upgrading your web software stack, why aren't you upgrading your web software?
A debugger sees exceptions before the application does, and it knows which exceptions it should handle by itself (e.g. breakpoints set by the user) vs passing them to the application.
I don't have a windows machine rn to verify but I'd expect your assumption that it's impossible to debug an INT3 VEH to be incorrect.
Do you not have students complaining about dress codes in your country? It was the typical individualist dreck: “kids have a right to dress like slobs/express their inner selves and schools shouldn’t try to stop them.” It was not a protest to reinforce existing community standards against an aberrant decision.
How about this, you’re a senior if a company promotes you to senior or hires you as a senior. And then you have to contend with the reality that the senior role is easier to achieve at some companies because it’s cheaper to give someone a title bump than a compensation bump. I work in an adjacent field (data science) and I’ve met only a few data scientists that I would truly consider deserving of a senior title. Title inflation is a real problem in this industry.
Can you explain this? I thought buck converters just switch the supply side on and off rapidly and use a capacitor to flatten the output?

I fully agree with you that scripting languages are a great fit for scientific computing. But I just don't see how this is a case for Fortran.

R or Python are still much easier to use and give you the same access to high-performance numerical accelerators via BLAS/LAPACK backends. And if you need a low-level language (e.g when developing an optimised routine that solves a specific problem), I would use a high-performance widely supported systems programming language like C++ or Rust.

Fortran seems to be around mostly for legacy reasons. And I am not sure that legacy considerations alone make a good foundation.
I’ve never worked with someone who had less than 10 years of experience that I would call a senior engineer. However the number of people who claim to be with less than 5 is astounding!

Maybe the talent pool in the UK has a serious case of Dunning-Krueger?

Whatever the case may be. I find hiring extremely time consuming because I need to wade through so many candidates to find a true senior.
Yes I do, because in C you do have to repeat pointer declarations and their modifiers per variable - there is no clean way to separate the variable name declarations from their properties

Edit: disagree also on sugar being irrelevant. It’s all about where you guide non engineers towards when they learn it. Domain scientists can be astonishingly productive in Fortran thanks to that - to achieve the same in e.g. C++ takes a lot more effort in training and establishing best practices, libraries etc.
There is no correlation in practice between these benefits and greater birth rates. Countries with some of the most friendly policies to parenting have the lowest birth rates. In the past, people with much more difficult lives had many more children. This sounds nice in theory, but doesn't hold up in the real world.
The approach here to answering your questions is to give you the easiest path towards making something.

1. Cloud hosting? No - buy the cheapest linux virtual server you can - like $5/month hosting. Cloud is most appropriate for variable compute needs (which edtech has) but you're not there yet. When you have scaling problems, solve scaling problems. Since you have a trial user at home you could build it out locally or use VPN tools to allow access to a server inside for the short term. Once you have a solid product, then figure out longer term hosting.

2. Tech Stack? Regarding your context - pick the tech stack you are quite comfortable with, its probably easiest to go with Python of the ones you listed since there is likely to be lots of docs on setting that up for a small hosting company once you get to that point.

1828 was probably the least racist time in history up to that point in history. All of human history prior to that is endless tribal and imperial conflict. U.S. was the first country that ever even explicitly set out to legally equalize unrelated people from different religions and ethnic backgrounds and simultaneously do away with the concept of inherited nobility entirely.
> worked on 1 codebase for at least 3 years

I get why you would have this on your list but I'm not planning on staying at a job that I don't like, or with a company that's underpaying me, or insisting to be stuck on the same project for 3 years just so I can meet someone's arbitrary criteria for a senior. And I'm saying arbitrary because:

> worked in at least 2 companies (or vastly different teams)

> worked on 1 codebase for at least 3 years

so 6 months at job 1, and 3 years at job 2 (without changing codebase) makes you senior but 10 years with 4 jobs of 2.5 years each is not senior?

This why all of this is pointless gatekeeping - you're senior if you have a senior title. And if you do, it doesn't mean all that much and that's okay.

First Postgres Vector Extension with Filtering HNSW Support
Hi,

In our previous post titled “Do we really need a specialized vector database?” on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37097004) we discussed the importance of using a Postgres-based solution for vector search. However, we acknowledged that existing Postgres vector extensions lack support for metadata filtering.

We are excited to announce that we have now addressed this limitation. We are proud to be the first (https://github.com/tensorchord/pgvecto.rs) to enable conditional filtering directly on HNSW indexes within Postgres. This breakthrough allows for efficient and effective metadata filtering in combination with vector search, eliminating the tradeoff previously associated with using Postgres for this purpose.

We invite you to explore our updated offering and experience the benefits of seamless metadata filtering within a Postgres-based vector search system.
Right. But assets < liabilities means that “what is left” is nothing.
Very much agree and I also use 10 years as my rough criteria (for PMs though as I am in product)
I work in HFT, so feel free to dismiss what I say as biased...

There is this widespread perception that HFT traders are rent seekers, and bad for markets, and in particular for retail traders. Anyone well informed knows this is completely wrong:

- HFT is not rent seeking, it is providing a valuable service (liquidity provision) that people are willing to pay for. Over the years, there are been multiple attempts to set up trading venues that exclude HFT traders and they all end up inviting them in because without them there's no liquidity and very little trading.

- There are multiple studies that show that regulatory interventions aimed at reducing HFT, such as financial transaction taxes, increase volatility and spreads and raise effective trading costs for retail traders.

It is still possible that changing market structure or regulation to reduce the incentives for HFT (and in particular the speed race aspect of it) could be somehow beneficial for markets or society as a whole, but this is far from obvious.

As for having regulation steer what "brilliant minds" go into, you have to have a lot of faith in the foresight of regulators to argue for that. Could say a lot of similar things about different industries, such as the usual quip about the best minds of our generation working on maximizing ad click through rates.
