"bug fix sprint" sounds like a horrible inefficiency. Is that the goal? Is the goal to constantly weasel more time out of your manager?

That's not my goal. I like delivering high quality stuff to users. I like 'moving the needle'. I like coming up with a plan to produce business value, and doing it. I like getting stuff done.

This article perpetuates the 'developer vs manager' concept which is a ridiculous mindset rooted in primitive human flaws. Fix your relationships with your colleagues and work together to make quality stuff. No deception. Only cooperation.

the cynics was right again, the "self driving" was a scam the whole time.

And its a real tragedy because there'd have been a market for "remote controlled cars," there was no need to taint the space with overblown claims other than "get that investor money first."

Personally, I do not want to own a vehicle that has the physical capability of remote / autonomous control of any aspect of its operation. It is a complete mystery to me why others do not have the same reservations.
I think the impact location is important here. A large SUVs grill can impact on the pedestrian's head, for example.

You have to start with test first -- just make them "the task".

Don't give estimates separated by test and features.

New feature at hand? First thing you code is the scaffolding to call or trigger new feature (this may be trivial on some projects, or impossible on others).

So long as you start out that way when asked, how long? The tail end always contains the feature, and they can't say cut it.

I worked at a place once where I was setting up a minimal CI/CD pipeline for the project -- I took the first few weeks to do this. In a meeting I was called out by another engineer that had longer tenure at the company. "Are you working on 'devops' stuff because you don't know how to do the primary objective". I responded with a very long triad of why all this other stuff IS the primary objective, and was never questioned again (by that same engineer anyways). All this to say, part of being an engineer is also to educate fellow engineers on ways of doing things better than status quo. It can be hard, and you can put your self at risk. But it's a choice you have to make for your self, the engineer who cuts corners to make mostly arbitrary deadlines, or the one who build robust software. You don't have to go in 100%, but at least have a leaning to one side or the other and make the better choice when it really matters.
As a woman of integrity and current Oxide employee, I answered those questions quite honestly. Standard behavioral interviews have the same issue where you can certainly embellish or fabricate stories.

Is this some kind of new Clipper chip [1] I understand the differences but I see this as a type of allegory?

> If the copper is bound to the hull paint well enough, maybe it’s fine? Or maybe fine in fresh water.

If it's bound up in the paint matrix it's kind of hard for it to poison those pesky critters, no? AFAIU all biocide based anti fouling paints work by being more or less ablative, continually exposing fresh biocide to the surface.
yeah I use my hexclad or well seasoned cast iron for eggs. An unsung hero is also carbon steel, as it's lighter and smoother (unless want to pay arm and a leg for super smooth bottom ground cast iron). Stainless is great for sauces or something that has a lot of acid (which can eat away at your seasoning in in cast/carbon steel). Carbon steel is super easy to season as well because it's extremely smooth.
Since the steps are hardcoded in the CSS, this would better be named "Bubble sort visualization in pure CSS". I don't know what I was expecting honestly, but seeing all the sorting steps in the stylesheet wasn't it.

Pretty cool trick nevertheless, well done to the author!
Why is it impossible that maybe Cities Skylines simply has shitty developers?
I think you are arguing exactly what the article argues. That this dev vs manager, and all that comes from it, is bad.
Strong agree. It should be core FTC rulemaking to prohibit this; it's a form of advertisement masquerading as independent review.

(If the subject of the review sets conditions on its content, to restrain the reviewer from discussing their negative observations, it has the character of an advertisement. The subject is enforcing editorial control; thus, they have partial authorship/editorship of their own "review". Either you sign your name to your *ad*, or, the reviewer signs their name to their unburdened conscience—there is no in-between).

If LLMs can't find the answer then people will go ask it on SO. If SO is liable to shut down because the majority of their business got wiped out then somebody with a vested interest (like say, MSFT/OpenAI) will step in and bail them out (or create a clone, or something functionally equivalent).

You're conflating a couple of things here -- while we don't select for enthusiasm as such, we very much do select (both implicitly and explicitly) for intrinsic motivation. (So the signal of candidates that choose not to apply is not only hard to get, it's also not necessarily interesting.) In terms of where that intrinsic motivation comes from (which is perhaps what you're asking?), we have found that it can be found in a wide variety of places and backgrounds. And indeed, such as there's a common theme at all, it's that it doesn't necessarily follow from a resume.
Except most people wouldn’t really know what BVO is (or what it is used for), so soda additive is actually informative here.
Yes, that's somewhat common, esp. in smaller companies. But the article's thesis still doesn't hold up since in that case it's the dev team which is given blame for the prod bugs. Dev team never prefers for the bugs to pop up in prod as opposed to during dev/QA. (accepting low impact bugs is something different which IMHO the article did not write about)

The VentureStar was explicitly designed for low refurbishmemt demands given the failures of the Space Shuttle. The latter was developed by NASA using contractors, which pretty much always results in extremely high costs, e.g. recently with the cancelled NASA space suits or SLS. Even with Hydrogen, I think the full reusability of the VentureStar could have outweighed its high fuel cost, compared to other rockets at the time. They estimated 20 tons to LEO, which would have been more than e.g. Atlas, which wasn't even designed to fly humans, and would have required a capsule that reduces effective payload.

I remember that PIC project. I don't know if source was ever released, but I recall a lot of folks being very dubious about the claims made.

No, your views on tax obligations are irrelevant to the discussion. If I have no tax obligations and I hold cryptocurrency, would you force me to pay taxes? If you plan to tax me on the value of the cryptocurrency itself, then you’re back to being forced to admit it had value in the first place. Tax obligations are an irrelevant facade you’re hiding the same circular argument behind.

You say context is everything and yet refuse to share the contexts you believe cryptocurrency has value. You lack confidence in your own consistency.

It would be nice if I stopped needing to update the fsproj file for imports and hierarchy. If this could be dynamically built using a topological graph approach that would be a huge improvement. I don't use a heavy IDE so it's kinda tedious to need to update the fsproj file when i want to add a new file.
> This means you are, sadly, very uninformed.

No, it means that I don't accept budget and deadlines being an excuse for delivering a poor experience. As a consumer, I'm speculating about the reasons why this happens, but my point is that it shouldn't happen at all.

> many engineers want to optimize things more, and work OT to do so (as there is an extreme shortage of time to do this in AAA space on company time)

Again, this is an industry problem, and not something companies should be excused for.

Whether engineers actually care about optimizing or not, and whether they crunch or not (as much as I may sympathize), is not my concern, and I place equal blame on them for delivering a subpar product, whether it's under their control or not. Ultimately their names will be listed in the credits, and they represent the product as much as the publisher. If they don't like the environment of a particular studio, they can always choose to work elsewhere.
The article said developers don't want to find bugs because of time pressure. But it didn't suggest fixing the time pressure.
I see the author is from the, "move fast and break stuff" school of engineering. How old school.
There are a number of ways to do this without nationalization, e.g. the imposition of onerous taxes on investment properties, rental income, or real estate speculation, coupled with creation of state-housing funds to purchase properties that are now not worth it to own. If you do this while simultaneously engaging in widespread state construction of public housing, increase supply will also make investment ownership unattractive and force sales.
> Tests are bad for developers. That is why. They can only detect bugs. Tests can only tell developers they made a mistake. There is no gain at that moment.

When test-driven development is applicable, it’s so damn nice. If for no other reason, just because it requires so many fewer keystrokes and clicks, just have a process watching for changes and rerunning the test suite. Less chance of developing RSI, it’s good for developers.

I added the caveat “when applicable” because for straight-up UI behaviors it’s not, but the longer I write code, the more I see ways to separate out pure logic from UI and other external effects and I’ve never regretted doing it for reasons including: general reasoning, readability, TDD, future changes, and bug fixes.
Drastically cutting down on energy is itself a crazy idea we don't know the consequence of; it could have catastrophic effects on the economy and on how people live. Weird tech solutions are not crazy alternatives to business as usual; they're crazy alternatives to other crazy alternatives.
That's an interesting take. An alternative take is he desperately sought to become a public intellectual for personal reasons- while simultaneously believing this would hurt his patients, and declared this the New York Times's problem.

I thought he regularly preaches the presumption of good faith, even when discussing some of the most radical people in the world, interesting how that's not extended to the NY Times for the sin of... using a real name policy?
“The electrostatic tractor would use a servicer spacecraft equipped with an electron gun that would fire negatively charged electrons at a dead target satellite, Champion told Live Science. The electrons would give the target a negative charge while leaving the servicer with a positive charge. The electrostatic attraction between the two would keep them locked together despite being separated by 65 to 100 feet (20 to 30 meters) of empty space, she said.”
I'll be really surprised if City Skylines's team didn't have access to Unity's source code.
It's cheaper and faster.
AR Kit is Apple's thing. AR Core is Google's thing. Neither of those are Unity's fault. AR Foundation is a Unity layer to present a common interface. Which of my books is a good thing.

Open XR is also an an attempt to make a cross platform layer for vendor specific APIs. Again not Unity's fault. The Unity plugin system is a common interface for all XR devices.

I'd generally support your sentiment but in this case you're picking on things where Unity had mostly got it right.
Started off with CentOS and I'm still recovering.
The Reg’s usual cynical attitude is probably warranted here.
Once the price to revenue ratio gets that out of wack it’s damn near impossible to grow out of and a correction is basically guaranteed eventually. Even if you grow into that valuation via inflation which is the only conceivable way to get there your purchasing power with that amount is still not great.
This is very important.

For some reason in these threads nobody seems to bring up or realize that modern AMD CPU's fTPM is completely broken and not fixable via ucode updates. The AMD TPM exploit is exploitable by a "regular" person too, it doesn't have to be a state level actor, just some techy person with a few tools and physical access to the system.

We can't audit these things at all and I don't think we should just trust that they are safe, and we know for a fact that many of them aren't safe, even against "regular" threats.

I like ladybird, and I think it's a cool project. It's probably more short term useful, but I think serenity is the more interesting project of the two, precisely because browsers are a spec. No one likes the absolute chromium dominance and more browser engines are a good thing, but they also all do exactly the same thing. Building an operating system is a much more open ended task that has more room for innovation.
Very curious about the scaling process. I've been building something on a breadboard with an esp32 and I'm pretty happy with it. Now I want it to be a lot smaller, and in one piece rather than with a bunch of wires and components on a breadboard.

How do you make the step from breadboard dev to something manufacturable?
It allows individuals to transfer money quickly and cheaply. This is not difficult.
Really fun!

I have been experimenting with similar idea myself. I was curious on how you handle instantiating the terminal state for new clients. Seems like you're storing a buffer [0] of past output, and replaying that?

Word. I work for a reasonably large online retailer that fancies itself a "tech company" and you'd be amazed at the pushback I kept getting for insisting on a proper test infrastructure for their mobile apps - dependency injection for mock API endpoints with captured data, fuzzing to capture UI weaknesses and the like. But no, they need to go fast because... well, because their product/market fit isn't that stable and they're using "data driven" decision making to justify chasing one rabbit after another to try and juice the stock price.

Vienna is quite of an outlier in the EU and even in Austria itself. Here's why:

Firstly, social housing there is a very old concept, and because of that, a significant portion of the population (>50%) already lives in social housing, meaning most the population has skin in the social housing game so they make sure to vote themselves a great situation because they're the majority and that's how democracy works.

But if the amount of population in a city living in social housing is way below 50% (most of Europe) then they don't have the democratic political leverage to vote themselves a better public housing situation, so social housing turns into a low quality charity for the poor and ends up turned into ghettos leading to a bad image of social housing leading to people to further voting even less in favor of social housing not wanting more ghettos.

Vienna, having the majority of it's citizens in social housing for a long time now has reached "escape velocity", that's why it already works there but won't/doesn't work in other EU cities who want to try it now, including in the rest of Austria where social housing is not the norm but more of a safety net for poor people. Other Austrian cities have even sold off a lot of their public housing stock to private investors in the 2008 crisis (cough-corruption-cough), meaning replicating Vienna's success today would be impossible as no city could afford to buy 50% of all private housing at market prices today even assuming private owners would want to sell in the first place.

And secondly, unlike Zurich, London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Luxembourg, etc., Vienna is not a tech-hub or corpo-hub for big international companies to set up large offices of well paid workers from abroad there, and neither is it a low-tax/beach-front destination for wealthy digital nomads, so there's not such a big pressure on the rental market from overseas workers with huge salaries pushing up rents and gentrifying everything.

That's the situation for rents. But the situation for buying a property flips on its head and makes Vienna one of the most expensive cities in Europe for buying your own property, far disconnected form average wages that almost nobody could afford to buy something.
Having extensively used Gentoo on the desktop (laptop, even!) mostly just makes me grumpier at all the time and money we waste doing shit our OS could do for us with way less effort. But nobody likes those solutions these days, they want to re-invent system services as fragile, fiddly crap with a Web dashboard.

It’s handy to know because sometimes I can save day, but mostly just means I can name the older, better thing we’re spending a dump truck of money to do the hard, worse way.
Yes, it is. But, I don't like this word "tonne". I think that "megagram" is better.
The US forced the Japanese to rewrite their constitution with input from the US, the Japanese government and from non governmental groups. US demands were mostly to make it harder for militarists to seize power. Probably the biggest changes was press freedom and the legal rights of women.

My impression of the place is you have a modern industrial society replacing large parts of the preexisting feudal culture. Important, Japanese feudal culture is not the same as western Europe feudal culture. More face culture, less shame culture. And Japanese aren't as much prudish, as conservative and obsessed with decorum.
Depends on the scale, I guess. I've definitely seen some Zojirushis behind the counter at more than a few restaurants.
It does not matter how strong the auth is. As long as people can authenticate - regardless of how - there's a hole in the perimeter, and your security reduces to the capabilities of what is behind. Attacks do not even have to be targeted - when you have hundreds, thousands or even hundreds of thousands of employees, the likelihood of a laptop getting compromised by even a random attack is pretty high, and then the foot is in the door.

In other words, any kind of proper defense require the internal services to be fully battle-hardened to withstand arbitrary attacks anyway as the perimeter is breached, or you set yourself up for a catastrophic security breach. In this case, the perimeter added nothing but cost, inconvenience and a false sense of security.

If you are afraid of exposing such services without a perimeter, you should not be running those services at all.

You're absolutely correct. It's also true that, historically, "fringe, law-breaking activists" have sometimes been on the better side of history. Which is why one needs a better argument than "it's illegal" to restrict the freedom of individuals to transact with money.
