How long do we think it will be before a lot of the recent negative sentiment about Scrum bubbles up to exec-level consciousness?

I've seen (and managed) plenty of Scrum, good and bad. In general I prefer Kanban approaches, but I don't think it's the deciding factor in team performance by itself.

I'm interested to see when we reach the point where it's no longer the default methodology everyone reaches for because "Scrum is how you do agile".
I have some experience with LE from various angles, and while there may be exceptions, from what I've seen an arrest is an arrest is an arrest. With the exception of major kingpin-type criminals, which your average detective is never going to get anywhere near investigating, you don't get any more juice in the department because you arrest some big drug dealer compared to arresting the comedian with the well-trained dog - you certainly don't get promoted any faster or get any raises or bonuses. And what's more, the big drug dealer is likely to have an attorney and dangerous friends while the comedian likely won't. Every aspect of harassing the person who may have subjectively broken some ridiculous law to nobody's harm is going to be 10x easier than going after the person objectively ruining lives and acquiring boat loads of treasure in the process.

Parsec and Steam's remote play feature support both LAN and WAN. Mileage varies, wired LAN is better than wireless LAN is better than WAN.

You're correct in the notion that running these types of apps relies on your home Internet connection (along with your hotel connection or wherever you're located). This is almost certainly lower performance, lower quality, and higher latency than gaming from a Google datacenter via Stadia.

Shift-Click does the trick, but not for Menu > Settings. You can also drag a tab to tear it out to become a new window.

It doesn't work well enough. It's mostly terrible, for example window size and position not being remembered, and opening in random places and sizes.

PRC export value went from 2.5T in 2019 to 3.4T in 2021, to 3.6T in 2022. It increased more during 3-4 years of covid than previous 10 years combined (1.4T in 2009). Primarily because 0covid left most of PRC undisrupted, most of the time, which setup PRC to export to most of world, especially global south. Currently everyone's exports down due to global slow down, but PRC exports down from stupid high peak. It's more surprising how much of exports PRC is holding onto due to artificial conditions caused by covid. Reverting back to 2021 (3.4T) would be a 5 steps forward 1 step back situation vs, reverting back to 2020 (2.6T) which would be status quo.

It's annoying that they're trying to remove your comment via downvoting.

It's amazing to me that some people are so determined to defend KF when it appears that the best defense they have is: "no suicides have been definitively linked to KF." I know their public reason is all about censorship etc, but I'd like to know what their private reason really is.
> At this point, I'd like to return to the days of paying $129 for a Windows upgrade if it meant ripping all this junk out of my OS.

Once this software gets written and demonstrably makes money, it will never get un-written. The more likely outcome is that if Microsoft thinks you (the market) are willing to go back to paying $129 for Windows, then you will pay $129 AND they keep the notifications, junkware and malware.
The usual story here (Vietnam) is that the victims are often promised a job with high earning prospect in Cambodia, or they are in debt after playing in casinos over there. Since Vietnam economy isn't in a good shape, there is no lack of potential victims. They don't really get killed either as it will cost the kidnappers, they will just get sold to another scam center. Oh and the victim can buy their freedom back if they scam enough people (my friend lost 10k USD in one such scam), not that there is many people who can do that though.
> it literally just enforces the linking provision of the GPL license.

Which provision are you referring to? The word "link" is only in one spot in GPL 2.0 and isn't talking about this situation.

But assuming you mean it's just enforcing the text about derived works, that would only be true if the GPL exports were consistently linux-specific enough that using them makes your code a derived work.

Which they blatantly aren't.
What every country should do, but none of them do, is tax based on the emissions. More polluting = more tax.
I think all these studies skirt very gingerly around a big problem. Stressful work culture, lack of support for families (includes high real-estate costs, long commute times, lack of sick leave, etc.) and most importantly a path for women (and men - but its mostly women) who drop out of the workforce and want to get back in once the children are older and more independent.

Child rearing takes a group of people not just a nuclear family where both parents work long hours. Cost of living and work culture is forcing people to work long hours and women don't find a good enough reason to give up their freedom, and keep in mind it's what childbirth is in most Asian cultures, a woman giving up what she wants to do until the child is independent. I see no reason why women would ever want children. What's society providing them that they need to make this sacrifice ?

All studies mention these, they just don't provide any concrete solutions. It's typically around creating some committee or forum that is looking to change this. Nothing will change, not until the corporations start running out of people to hire or the country runs out of soldiers for defense.

While in Japan, I noticed that in a few instances I could use Mastercard but not Visa. Specifically, I could use Apple Pay with a Mastercard to add money to my Suica card but not use a Visa.

I figured it was some bug or my Visa blocking me, but a friend mentioned it to me. He had bumped into the same problem and somehow deduced that it was (likely) due to not working with Visa.

Well… this monitor and its EDID are actually correct.

The monitor supports 3440x1440 @ 144hz and in the EDID it’s setting that mode as preferred. I checked online and LG market the monitor with those specs, so it’s not an error.

It would probably have been easier to flip the bit in the EDID that says the 60hz rate is preferred rather than messing about with the timings - since there is a perfectly good 60hz timing in the EDID.

To me (without any other evidence presented or investigation on my part) this is more an issue with the graphics card driver on Linux than an issue with LG.

Remotely Verifying I-9 Documentation
Pedantic point: In many cases I believe you can import them, it's just expensive and annoying to jump through the hoops. Manufacturers could even sell them, they'd just have to pay a fine/fee/whatever.

As a fan of light compact trucks, the kind they don't sell here in the U.S. anymore, my understanding is that a badly-written function in the CAFE standard calculations is one of the primary reasons I can't buy a truck that's smaller than my bedroom. The function calculates acceptable mileage based on vehicle footprint, and was nominally intended to encourage better fuel efficiency, but had the perverse effect of making trucks larger. Even then, it's legal to sell smaller trucks, but manufacturers have to pay a fine that apparently ruins the profit margin for them. And then there's the infamous chicken tax, and so on.
Yes but do they pay Anyscale anything for this use of Ray?

Scrum was never the disruption. Agile was. But really, it started with eXtreme Programming, from which "agile" was the more generalize distillation.

I'll say this: I worked in XP (and then "agile") teams ~20 years ago a couple times with varying success, but the one good thing was it got people thinking and agitating against the delusions that went along with waterfall.

Then I got stuck at Google for 10 years, where "agile" isn't really a thing. (There are teams that are sorta doing scrum... ish stuff. And there's a wide diversity of how things are done there. But on the whole Google has effectively unlimited budgets and headcount so things sorta just ... broken down waterfall ... until they're "done" whenever). When I got out... Scrum or some variant had taken over.

And I don't recognize this as the "agile" I worked with before. It's just a mess of pointless routines and shiboleths without the meat of what made things "agile".

Agile was: developers do their own estimates. Short iterations. "Stories" are 2-3 days and tied directly to a customer's business request. Intense involvement with the "customer" letting them know the trade-offs for every decision. Ship the prototype. "You ain't gonna need it." Informal daily standup just for the purpose of making sure everyone is on the same page. At the end of the iteration, go over the "cards" and triage and discuss why some estimates were off.

What I see now is just going through the motions of some of these, but in the end it's either chaos, or waterfall in disguise and some PM with a hard-on for configuring JIRA in some convoluted fashion so they can pass on reports to their superiors and make people jump through hoops so it looks like progress.

I just wanna code, get things done, fix things and ship things. Agile was the recognition that (good) engineers want to get work done and the upfront design process was often just getting in the way of problem solving and the creative process. The ones who don't? Get them off your team.

Somewhere along the line that message was lost.

But regulatory capture isn't capitalism.

The tendency to produce monopolies and pseudomonopolies IS, but that is a very well known market failure, that was once addressed quite well in democratic societies while maintaining (classically) liberal economic policies.

The problem we have now isn't capitalism... It's plutocracy.
> Like what? None of the ones i know of meet the "expressive, flexible and easy to learn as python" test.

Kotlin is IMHO the best of the bunch, but Groovy might be the most similar to Python.

> I'm arguing that there are no languages which are faster, and don't give up some of the things that made python popular in the first place.

Python has some advantages for scripting - it's almost ubiquitous on Linux distros. But for application development, I don't think it's better than other platforms.
You didn't play monopoly much growing I guess. Winning in capitalism is all about securing position. From there, leveraging profits isnt hard.
I agree that it's a frustrating counter argument since it is so vague and poorly understood but we really don't know a lot about how hormones effect decision making outside of a few very crude ones.

It is a mostly non-existent argument but it's still something that's important to consider.

Ok, there's a bit of a mention there, but they don't seem to consider it the foundational issue. They mention education costs for several paragraphs - education costs would likely not be so high if real estate costs weren't so high.

Fewer desireable/high paying jobs gets several paragraphs, but again, this would be less of a problem if rents weren't so high - people would be able to live on the incomes available. High real estate prices are sucking the oxygen out of the rest of the economy.
Not sure where you are but it feels that this is exactly what it's like in America. I am not sure why nobody really cares and I suspect by the time people try to do something about it, it won't be too late, but it's going to take a Herculean effort to fix. Mindset and structural support.
Hi, couldn't find a contact on that specific page.

FYI I have a strong feeling that either AzireVPN was bought or is expanding to other areas.

> And ah yes that global bastion of unfettered capitalism: China.

Yes, China is a capitalist country. Putting "Communist" between "China" and "Party" (ie CCP) doesn't make it communist anymore than D standing for "Democratic" makes the DPRK (North Korea) a bastion of Democracy (or, for that matter, the German Democratic Republic aka GDR aka East Germany).

China has private companies, private property and an effective if not actual ban on labor organization (ie unions). It is in every way a capitalist country.

> All your "in the US" examples aren't capitalism, they're barely even free markets

"Free markets" are both a myth and orthogonal to capitalism. You mention both "free markets" and "too much regulation". That's neoliberalism (and, for the record, right wing).

Markets only function when there's a strong government to enforce them. Deregulation is merely a way to transfer wealth to the already wealthy, placing the costs for that on the government and the populace at large (eg any number of chemical spills, disasters, poisononing of water sources and so on).
unless i'm missing something, they're not taking equity. that's what makes it a grant, and not seed funding.

It's all relative. Compared to the huge companies spending thousands per month/week/day on GPU usage, having two 4090s (which you could acquire for like ~$3000) could be considered on the lower end for sure.
>the less understanding the average Linux gamer will be of bugs.

Linux gamers have NEVER been tolerant of bugs. They are the exact people who make bug reports to niche indie developers on an ultra specific, custom configured system that some small part of the game doesn't work, and get extremely entitled and pissed when the dev says "I literally can't afford to take the time to fix that, even if I knew what the hell in your system is borked".
This seems like an interesting resource for people who already work in the industry and know what the modern practices are. Having a historical perspective is interesting, and also know what best practices have stayed through the years. However, it's also important to know what simply isn't used anymore.

I'm not sure that this is a good resource for a beginner, because it would teach them practices that aren't just out of fashion, but altogether unused, and would hurt them in the job market IMHO.

Much of this text is now obsolete -- not obsolete like "oh, a new JS lib du jour came out yesterday and we should all adopt it", but obsolete like "if you use this, many browsers won't support it and nobody else in your generation will be able to maintain your code".

Specifically:

- DNS and HTTPS are way more complicated now than when this was written

- Mobile usability isn't done this way any more; WAP and XHTML are not in use

- VoiceXML is not used

- XML in general has largely given way to JSON. SOAP is rarely used except maybe outside of academia and other niches.

- RSS is pretty much dead

- The DOM structure is not as semantic as in the past (unfortunately)

- It presupposes that most data must live in a RMDBS as opposed to other storage paradigms

- It completely ignores (well, predates) the prevalence of abstracted cloud services that most web work uses these days, vs reinventing search etc. from scratch

- Analytics is likewise way more complex today, but in the post-Google Analytics era and in the post-privacy era

- Some of the HTML syntax it uses is deprecated

- It presupposes a simpler full-stack model where a small web team will do the entire full stack work from the UI to the DB admin, vs today where that's usually specialized and/or outsourced to various third parties and APIs

I hope this doesn't come across as snobby... just trying to give the OP some context about where this fits in relative to modern work. Some of the fundamentals are indeed worthwhile reading, but the text itself doesn't make clear what is or is not still relevant. Without prior knowledge to be able to differentiate that, this book could teach a bunch of deprecated practices.

You absolutely have to substantiate possibilities; otherwise we could just list off anything that comes to mind endlessly. There must be a reason why this possibility is worth mentioning but not all of the other unsubstantiated ones.
Show HN: Verba – Yet another Node logger
I've recently spent a couple 5-9s throwing together a Node logger that's dead simple and extensible.

My inspiration was winston [0].

Verba has some nice built-in behaviors that I've been missing from anything else in an all-in-one solution:

* TTY functionalities (loading spinners, progress bars, etc.)

* Tables and JSON formatting

* Nesting to provide defaults (e.g. log codes for separate parts of your application)

* Built-in support for dead simple color and formatting of text

* Couple others

What's the worst yet another Node logger could do?

His basic premise is incorrect. Markets aren’t a significant part of all economic systems. Historically tribes didn’t operate under some universal system but webs of reciprocal gift giving was common. The best modern example might be Amish barn raising where members in good standing can receive a great deal of labor without direct compensation but to stay in good standing means providing the community with labor.

As to the decline in fertility that’s got many causes from access to birth control to pollution such as micro plastics directly reducing fertility. Negative impacts from capitalism play a role, but it isn’t so simple.
