All the issues you mention aren't a problem with JIRA but your workplace (if it's an issue). There are hierarchies and processes and you don't like it. Whether JIRA or manual it'd have been the same.

It's configurable. It's not for you but for management. So it's not "unnecessary".

and by default you have to do work set up by someone with more authority than you.
Dozens of people in Australia die every year from their own 12 or 230V wiring

I actually find 12V worse. People then try to run mains equipment off it with high amperage and correspondingly high heat, causing fire and…
To some degree yes, but after a while there are so many creators that it's just noise and nobody can really stand out unless they're truly beyond exceptional. So in that sense it is more of a zero sum game in practice.

Take Steam for example. After Greenlight was superseded by Direct and you now only need $100 to get on the platform it's practically drowning in games, making for near zero discoverability.

But especially in terms of idk, government jobs or certain positions at a specific company it's usually a fixed number of seats that will be filled from a large pool of people, making it a completely zero sum game. There can only be one president of a country at a time and a fixed number of them during your lifespan. What are you gonna do, make a new country?
Similarly in Swedish, W was not considered a letter but just a variant of V, so in phone books etc all the W names were mixed in with V names. This was changed in 2006 due to an increase in English loanwords.
Argentina has effectively a cash-only economy. Queues in excess of an hour at the supermarket are fairly common partly because of the overheads in having everyone pay with cash (needing to empty the tills, validate large notes, taking time to get correct change out and/or giving change).

Except this isn’t about drinking water its just agriculture and not even agriculture used inside the US.

Spending 8% of the US budget to subsidize exports would be lunacy. Ban Alpha exports from California largely solves the problem within the state as does a host of other possibilities like say charging a fee for using an aquifer.

Anyway it’s a self correcting problem, when farms can’t pump out water they will shut down reducing water use. The US is such a massive exporter that none of this will be noticed by US consumers.
It's not unheard of confused old ladies insisting it's you in the line up, even though you volunteered to be part of the line up to help out the police.

Then the police start questioning you and it turns out you don't happen to have a supportable alibi.

The reason you were chosen for the lineup is you looked a bit like the suspect they were really originally testing.

Same goes for geolocation sweeps - you already fit part of the profile - you were there - by definition your data doesn't help you. Add that to some other circumstantial thing and the police start wondering if they got lucky.
I agree with all your points and also agree that honestly, these scenarios aren't far off from real world tasks.

I get the main issue, which is you could adjust the workload by 10% and achieve a 50% performance loss when you do this at the point where we cross the cache threshold and whatnot.

However I see CPUs unique in that I rank them _for_ these scenarios. A particular might be ranked unfairly, but as long as the test is equal, the better one is infact better, just not by the 50% the test might show but it's still going to be 5% better. I expect my GPU to be idle when it isn't training AI or rendering frames, but for the CPU, it's general purpose in real life, and anything goes.

About 2/3 of American adults drink alcohol. About 0.3% of Americans took heroin within last year, x200 difference.

Diagnosed alcohol vs heroin use disorder: 14.8M vs 1.1M, x13 difference.

Addiction treatment stats: 50% alcohol, 5% heroin, x10 difference (percentages of all addiction treatments).

The sole fact that the two are on the same scale in terms of deaths, delinquency and even visibility should indicate that that per capita hard of heroin and alcohol are incomparable.

You sure can rock a concert while being high, not so much in withdrawal, and you wouldn't want you bus driver, nurse, teacher or pretty much anyone else around you be in either.

But sure, feel free to count yet another dangerous, addictive, yet inexplicably socially accepted psychoactive drug in the same list with heroin - coffee.

This is the core irony of the AI enthusiasts - by massively over-stating the capabilities of AI they provide the perfect ammunition to AI doomsters. If the AI enthusiasts focused on what can reasonably done with AI today they would have a lot less to worry about from regulators, but instead they keep making claims that are so ambitious that actually.. yes, we probably should heavily regulate it if the claims are true.
I'd rather have this "chaos" over the alternative.

We know now about how bad of an effect smartphones have.

IMHO we should go further and blanket ban children from using smartphones and from having social media accounts.

There's absolutely no reason to have them, same as there was none 20 years ago.

Once they're adults, then that's their problem. But while children, they should be protected.

"Give me ten sentences spoken by the most innocent of men, and I will find something in them with which to hang him." -- Voltaire.

All sorts of companies (not just Google) manage to store rather more than ten sentences these days.

This is why data privacy should be considered so important. Sooner or later all sorts of people (including the government) discover this <treasure trove>, and some of them will use it to hang you.

If you think it's not possible for ordinary citizens to care about data-privacy, maybe visit Germany. The number of times even pretty regular people asked me to do or not do something in the name of "datenschutz" was pretty large!

Supporting Musk just to view tweets (or whatever they are called) is a big moral compromise imho.

I get that if you are a news or social media source you need the views so it's work with him or lose money but that's not the case for many other people.

I was a pretty heavy Twitter user since 2007 (back when it had visible sequential numeric IDs, mine was six figures) and gave up a couple of months after the coming of Naughty Old Mr Car. For me his war on journalists in late 2022 was the last straw (I did return once for a silly joke in December when uttering the dread word 'Mastodon' was briefly banned), but even if that hadn't bothered me, the end of third party clients a month or so afterwards and the promotion of replies from gormless bluetick idiots above all else in the same timeframe would've killed it for me.

That said, I'm happy enough with Mastodon now; it feels a lot more like old (early-10s) Twitter.

I'm keeping the account, for now, on the basis that he might at some point get bored and go back to his imaginary car tunnels, and sell the remains of Twitter to someone sensible (presumably Automattic, which collects mortally wounded social networks).

There's plenty to support this claim: consumption prevalence and disorder prevalence.

Opiod users are vastly over-represented in all sort of statistics - addiction treatments, overdose deaths etc as compared with alcohol.

6% of alcohol drinkers are diagnosed with alcohol use disorder, the number exceeds 50% for meth users.

The "Meditations" referred to in the list seems to be the work by Marcus Aurelius in the raw data (available at the bottom of the page): not Descartes -- presumably -- "Meditations on First Philosophy".

It was just a spot check -- not exhaustive. Also many who refer to Descartes in the raw data, do so regarding other works.

I think this is an interesting mistake.

DevOps for the Desperate: A Hands-On Survival Guide
Given that Bandcamp does allow downloading your purchases (indeed, I've only ever used them that way), I suppose they could argue that anything beyond a download immediately after purchase was only ever just a convenience feature.

If they get a lot of customers that effectively treat them as a streaming service, tough, I suppose I can see that there might be a certain impedance mismatch of expectations there.

Discovery, Classification, and Protection of PII
Many companies seem to be making changes due to failing business models or pressure from investors, such that the culture and work/life balance suffers.

This, in turn, kills morale and within remote work is more likely to affect collaboration to a much greater level, thus reducing 'productivity' rather than making things better as perhaps intended.

The end result looks as if it is remote work being a problem, but the cause is management 'tightening the screws'. The fantastic culture and respect that brought the innovation and success will fade and the value creators will leave.

Forcing people back into the office will obviously not solve the problem. It just makes it easier to shout at people and analyse their daily behaviour in the belief that such metrics are the answer.

"We prefer people over process" is clearly dead. Servant Leadership is gone.

He has accumulated a tremendous amount of knowledge in his field. He represents an investment society has made into understanding climate science, and potentially doing something about it. Though as a scientist I doubt he is highly paid, his contribution to society, to his company, and the future of the human race is measured is measured in more than mere euros.

Yet despite all that, and despite his presence in Germany being urgently needed, he decides to throw a tantrum on Twitter over a single plane flight, and deny his knowledge from being available for 2-3 months of time. Completely self-centered and ridiculous.

> Chairman of the Committee on House Administration, Bob Ney, renamed the menu item in three Congressional cafeterias. The political renaming occurred in context of France's opposition to the proposed invasion of Iraq

"... what do you mean they're actually Belgian?"
"...having something to kill time on while there's almost nothing happening for hours and days on end is one of the main uses of having mobile phones in the trench-lines of Southern Ukraine."

That's understandable, but for as long as war has been conducted soldiers' lives have always been long stretches of utter boredom followed by short episodes of horror, death and destruction. It's always been this way, there are many accounts of where waiting in anticipation have seemed worse than the conflict. Managing armies in quiet periods has always occupied commanders' attention, it's why, say, brothels were allowed near the Western Front by high command in WWI despite the risk of VD (which was often a chargeable offense).

Also, to almost always keep in touch with the loved ones from back front, I can imagine that that has to be good for morale.

Reckon it definitely would be, but from what is being said about consequential deaths one wonders if it's too much of a luxury. There's no doubt that decades ago that a luxury of this type on the battlefield (even if it had been available) would have been unthinkable as commanders would have deemed it a strategic danger—giving away a platoon or battalion's position, etc. I can't see why something as fundamental as weakening strategy would have changed nowadays but then I'm not a commander. (Incidentally, there's any number of references to such strategies but there's two that stand out: Sun Tzu and von Clausewitz, I doubt there's a commander in the world that hasn't studied them—BTW, I'm not suggesting for a moment you read them.)

Perhaps, these days, with the abandonment of conscription in many countries, militaries have made a pragmatic decision to allow smartphones as an enticement for people to join the military. I've not followed this recently (as I once would have), if so, then I'd reckon it's a nasty callous tradeoff.

Re your last point, it's my understanding that troops in Iraq and Afghanistan also carried phones but I'm unfamiliar with the rules that would have applied.

Perhaps we should fix that? I mean, if you can't get banking services, how exactly are you participate in the modern economy? Is it a good idea forcing homeless to deal with cash, when they are the most vulnerable population to drug abuse? How can they safely save to prepare some solution for their situation?

So many questions, with "how will you buy your coffee" very low in the order of priority. Electronic money remittance should be seen as a basic human right.

Oh. Must have scrolled past. Was expecting it to be much higher up.
Even if coexistence of multiple library versions is supported, there are scenarios where things break.

For example, the "libc apocalypse" situation in Rust https://github.com/rust-lang/libc/issues/547

Here after the "libc" module released a major version, the definition for the `void` C type in two versions of the lib are considered by the compiler as two different types, resulting in breakages everywhere around the library ecosystem.

There are also scenarios for dynamic languages / runtime errors.

My main problem with the current SemVer spec, is that it does not mention the multiple lib versions problem, and promises the dependency hell issues can be avoided simply by updating major version number. Thus encouraging to break backward compatibility freely.

Also note, it's not the case that SemVer is intended only for languages supporting multiple library versions in one app. SemVer is a product of Ruby community, and Ruby has a global namespace for classes and unable to have several versions of a lib simultaneously.

In 2000s Ruby library authors were breaking compatibility left and right, neglecting elementary compatibility practices. If you were working on an application, practically every time when you update dependencies, the application would break.

So (in 2011 ?) they came out with this "manifesto" (Why such a big name? This scheme of versioning was well established in linkers and sonames of all Unix-like systems for decades - it goes back to at least 1987 paper "Shared Libraries in SunOS").

It's a good thing SemVer acknowledged finally that compatibility is a serious matter. Only that it's better to discourage compatibility breakages. An in cases when it's really needed (I agree such cases exists), there are things to take care of in addition to simply increasing major version num.
The problem with cash being a thing that keeps working if the lights go out is that there isn't enough of it in circulation to meet the demand if all the lights go out. Having a bit of cash means that you can still pay for your purchases if one random shop has a technical glitch with their card reader, but if the card payment system for a whole country falls over then there just isn't enough lying around to cope with everything that we want to do. It's a failover system that isn't adequately scaled.
Hold on, _not mentioning Twitter in the title_ implies that they're abandoning Twitter? How do you figure that? The title also doesn't mention chairs or toilets, but one assumes the BBC will still be using those.
Lions led by donkeys. Little of value comes from universities run by
bureaucrats and petty administrators whose microscopic world-view is
"helping to solve" global problems by balancing budgets and enforcing
HR rules and procedural policies.

Bracketing out any (only too human) bitter jealousy and hostility
toward eggheads and boffins who swan-off to sunny islands on field
work... there's a profound mismatch of perspective going on.

If that university had one iota of good sense they'd be singing the
praises of this researcher in a massive PR drive around research
integrity.

But the head and the ass are not wired together.
> I recently had to setup a non-encrypted website because I have a few old devices that can no longer do HTTPS.

That sounds like they haven't been updated for TLS>1.1 – if that is the case then rather than going all the way down the HTTP you could enable TLS1.1 (and maybe 1.0). It is open to POODLE/BEAST/others that way, but still have some protection and the site's configuration differs less from the rest of your infrastructure.

Unless the site is completely internal only of course, in which case just sticking with HTTP may be less faf.
My personal biggest fear is that I feel like my search history is full of curious things than can be misconstrued in court.

I’ve always been fascinated by red-teaming things, and a very curious person in general. For example, I took some advanced chemistry classes and wanted to look up how hard it would be to synthesize RDX one day.

I feel like that could be used against me in the wrong situation. My computer is full of things that only exist in my mind, and I feel like that’s too personal for something like a jury to handle.

The black bars are printed like that into the book. They have nothing to do with the reproduction of the ad, they are part of the original ad.
That's why I am so often disgusted with the psychology research ethics. So many experiments are impossible to reproduce (vide recent reproducibility crisis), some (like the Stanford Prison Experiment) are debunked, but it is already too late — the damage is already done. As soon as a controversial research thesis reaches the public opinion (Zimbardo made sure his thesis would become popular), it becomes part of the "folk wisdom" and is repeated as a holy truth and a self-fulfilling prophecy.

What I don't like about Docker is that it spews stuff all over the place.

After installation, it is constantly running. As can be seen by:

ps aux | grep docker

And it occupies IPs:

ip addr | grep

I was on a train in Germany recently and could not use the Wifi because of that. Turned out the docker daemon occupied the IP range the Train Wifi uses. While I was not using docker at all.

I guess it clutters even more stuff. Any suggestions what else to look for?

So I am looking for a cleaner container solution. One that feels more like a Linux tool that keeps the system intact and only runs when it runs.

If Kata is such a tool, I would look into it more closely.
