> These days it's practically a necessity for companies to shell out money to some sort of supply-chain protection software (Sonatype, Socket.dev etc.)

A number of some serious assumptions here. How can you be sure that you’re protected if you spend money on these commercial tools? It’s an arms race after all. There are other ways to protect yourself (pinning dependencies, allow list). A few open source tools are also available to audit code.
I click systematically, and it almost always says they picked a broad category, like “Men between 25 and 75 in [country].” There’s usually some phrasing that is meant to be ambiguous or unclear but that I have to interpret as “based on your other behavior.” I can only assume neither I nor the gay commentator earlier have ever done anything that expressed an interest in either underage pornography or AI-generated female honeypots, and so that “smart” implicit targeting really needs some serious scrutiny.

I get the joke that it reveals what I do in private. I’ve made it myself when people are complaining about Twitter—usually after confirming the rest of their activity matches the prejudice that I’m lobbing at them. What I can assure you is not happening, in public or in private, is me speaking Finnish or Cantonese.
> Is agile still appropriate today?

It was never appropriate. It was created by consultants to sell consulting services. In that way, it's a huge success. As a practical development methodology, it's always been a disaster.
Food distribution is an actual market with competition. A bridge over a river is a natural monopoly that Moroun abused like crazy to his personal enrichment.

Canadian, not American and we tend to have a much more government-friendly position. I view public ownership of natural monopolies as vitally important. Then private enterprise can fairly compete in a reasonably regulated way to deliver services via that publicly owned infrastructure (like food distribution). When private entities own the infrastructure they can hold the entire society hostage, which was exactly what happened with the Ambassador Bridge.
There are other ways across the border; this bridge happens to compete for that traffic well

We did get to see a couple years ago what happens when the bridge is closed by protests:

AFAIK, the problem is much more with the "single" part than with the "privately owned" one.

Yes, this is exactly on point. Moroun clearly tried to not only protect his investment but did so by disadvantaging the general public.

"Manuel Moroun, owner of the Ambassador Bridge until his death in 2020, spoke out against this proposal. He sued the governments of Canada and Michigan to stop its construction, and released a proposal to build a second span of the Ambassador Bridge (which he would own) instead.[38] Critics suggest that Moroun's opposition was fueled by the prospect of lost profits from duty-free gasoline sales, which are exempt from about 60 cents per gallon in taxes even though the pump price to consumers is only a few cents lower.[11] On May 5, 2011, a judge dismissed the case, citing a lack of reasoning for it to proceed.[39] Moroun and his Detroit International Bridge Company contended that the new bridge would affect its proposal for a second span which would be built next to the Ambassador Bridge. "

The idea that a private individual, no matter how wealthy is able to literally exact a toll on society is ridiculous. In Europe we also still have a few toll bridges and tunnels, as well as many toll roads (for instance: in Poland and France). Most of these, but not all, are in the hands of various governments. I can't wait until this particular form of highway robbery disappears. Oh, and Germany re-enacted something similar but only for tourists. They first got slapped down in court then reduced the German road tax to be able to apply the tax on 'everybody' but in practice that means that it is just a levy on foreign traffic.

Where are you taking this analogy?
The future you describe is already here.
Agile, as in fast, periodic cycles of gathering requirements, design, implementation and release, is a good idea, especially when this matches your scenario.

In my limited experience, Scrum usually comes with a bunch of people who think Scrum principles come from some holy book and act accordingly.

You can't estimate how long your tasks will take because you are flooded by interrupts (coming from outside the Agile team or even from within)? Well, shame on you. Sprint review will show a decrease in completed tasks and everyone will wonder why.
At the next planning you want to add stories without story points? The horror!

You are part of an Agile team and also have to do stuff for another team? Good luck closing your tasks without missing stuff that was assigned to the Sprint.

Daily meetings take more than 15 minutes? That's not how things should be!

Kanban is a much more reasonable approach, because its focus is on "flow" and not "whatever we decided three weeks ago without taking into account things outside of this team".
This case shouldn't be an exception..., it should never have been a private bridge in the first place, along with 100s of other things that corporations have taken private control of.

A lot of lobbying is done to get people to believe the government is bad at everything and that corporate rent seeking should be the defacto way a country is run. And lots of people dying from lack of affordable health care believe it.
So many different ways to die in a submarine, so many failure modes. It's one thing to solve all the engineering problems you can identify. It's another to learn from all the failure modes everyone else has encountered.
Linus Torvalds postpones Linux 6.8 merge window after being taken offline
I think it's the international and infrastructure aspect that is heightening reactions?

For example seaports (or at least LA and NYC) are broadly operated by government (or government owned) organizations. The St Lawrence seaway is operated by government or government owned organizations. US airports are generally operated by publicly owned organizations.
My perspective is limited as a US citizen who's never been to Europe, but what I would add is that international students here are under a lot of stress to find a job when they graduate so they can stay in the country. Of course choices are limited because not all companies sponsor. You can see entire lines of people disappear at the career fair when a company puts up a sign saying they aren't sponsoring visas this cycle.

The work visa system in the US seems to create this stress because there's no automatic transition between states. You get a fixed, short period of unlimited work after graduating but then you need a job to sponsor you, which will most likely be as a "nonimmigrant" that has to be renewed and updated when you change jobs. And that never converts to a green card on its own, the employer has to start over with a new process and prove that no US workers are available to do the job.

In other countries (not sure about Europe), it's more like you get a work visa the first time, you keep working for 5-7 years, then you automatically get a permanent residence and can change jobs freely (or retire, study, etc.).

You do have a valid concern about what happens if you job ends, but I think in that case a good backup plan is just to apply for schools in Europe. Not sure how the timing would work out with admission cycles or how strict they are about how long you can stay before finding a new job/switching to student though.

You could even see if the US university would be willing to defer your admission for a year to do a "gap year" of work experience? That's kinda sort of a thing in the US, so it's worth asking.
when I was getting diagnosed with crohns. One of the thoughts was that I had hepatitis, I did have an inflammed liver, so yes.

My immediate response was that I had gotten the vaccines for hep a,b,c. I was going to mexico, so it was to be safe but that was a few years earlier.. But there are many different ways for the inflammation. long story short... crohns. aka inflammatory bowel.

I then spent years looking to understand crohns and all the recent research.

Notably, it is correct that inflammation is the cause of many if not all of these diseases. But the obvious question is what's causing the inflammation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_of_Crohn%27s_diseas...

Pretty extensive article and I didn't try any of the extreme things. I abided basically everything I could here. Which did improve the situation, chemo was probably the best but lots of major consequences, cannabis was probably the best overall with only minor addiction problems. But did let me figure out what isn't on this page. Basically figured out the cure to crohns, but what's super annoying was that... how did my GI doctor never talk to me about this? If he told people the cure, he'd be out of a job basically? So I post my idea to reddit and crohns forum and I get banned for medical misinformation. Kind of surprising...

So then I went backwards, if this is the cause of crohns, what else might happen. I then figured yes for sure UC and rheumatoid arthritis are just the same thing. But also almost certainly lupus, celiac, etc.

So yes, the myriad of chronic inflammatory conditions are caused by what causes the inflammation but for some reason nobody wants to know. I remember when Jeff Geerling had his crohns problems recentlyish, I posted here the cure and got flagged and shit on. Very illogical to me, but alas I'm just a programmer and not some doctor. So whatever.

I'm sorry, but yes, Jordan Peterson is a person that has decided to make himself toxic and part of a polarizing marketing narrative to sell more books, get more high-paying speaking gigs, and in general brand himself in a very specific, controversial way.

While I believe that the kind of "extreme wokeness" of a small part of close-minded US "liberals" and Academia is detrimental to the democratic discourse, I also believe that Jordan Peterson has been repeatedly playing with fire, and demonstrated toxic traits that invalidate his own Academic work.

Refusing exposure to someone who embraces by proxy that narrative is perfectly fine for commercial establishments that need to target a specific demographic. He's just not in target. He should be fine with that, considering that's how their beloved capitalism and free market work.

No. I'm talking about total emission per capita of goods consumed.

Take for example, the USA and China (and SE Asia). The USA loves to brag about our efforts to clean up the (USA) environment; about all the improvements since the 70s. What's never (ever?) mentioned is how much of that was from manufacturing and that manufacturing has been outsourced to China/SE Asia (subject to even lower environmental protection standards). That production of emissions doesn't belong to the source of production per se, it belongs to the end point of consumption.
This bridge is infuriating because you cannot walk across it. It was even worse during COVID when the tunnel bus shut down, which is the only way to cross the border without a private vehicle. There is a rail tunnel too, but only for freight of course. Windsor/Detroit is a great example of exactly what not to do if you want to build a walkable city.
You're making the same mistake again. The operation in "Terawatt-hour" is multiplication, not division. It's not Terawatt-per-hour, it's Terawatt-for-an-hour. 1 TWh is the amount of electricity you consume when you run a 1 TW machine for 1 hour. Or a 2 TW machine for half an hour. Or a 500 GW machine for two hours.

> US needs 3800TW of electricity every hour

This alone should give you pause. "3800 TW of electricity" doesn't mean anything. A Watt is a unit of power. It's the flow of electricity, not an amount.

Yes I did list browsers too but they are applications too. Someone has to develop them and fix all the platform specific issues.

Yeah but for the next 10 to 15 years at least we for sure will have Windows around as the dominant native desktop platform. Or are you saying 2024 is finally the "year of Linux desktop"?

At a practical level nutrition isn’t generally a problem, but that says more about the human body / food than the lack of scientific knowledge.

There is a long list of things that cannot be synthesized by people and must be consumed. (Elements like Potassium as well as specific nutrients like Vitamin C and Thiamine being well known.) There’s a longer list of things than can be synthesized but should largely be consumed ex:

Linoleic acid (LA), an omega-6 fatty acid, and α-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid, are considered essential fatty acids because they cannot be synthesized by humans.

The long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), can be synthesized from ALA, but due to low conversion efficiency, it is recommended to consume foods rich in EPA and DHA.

There’s also a lot of basic facts that get complicated when you dig into them. For example calories produced by burning foods isn’t 1:1 with the calories available to people. Cellulose for example burns but is effectively indigestible. One way to investigate this is to have some eat something and then burn their poop, followed by many studies that do so for various reasons.

There’s also a lot of nutrition science that straddles the line with medicine. Thus there exists many specialized diets for various conditions etc.

Having a degree will make it much easier to work in different nations due to visa restrictions that sometimes require college degrees (though you might want to do some analysis on what the options are and how much they've changed since I last look into this).

There's an off chance you might learn something that you might not have otherwise if you take the college approach, however I'm not sure it's worth the cost.

For the region it is 99% of the traffic, nobody will drive for half a day to avoid the bridge. But when the alternative opens (and it is not a toll bridge) you can expect traffic on the privately owned bridge to drop like a stone and likely it will eventually become public property.

Nokia is a brand name and a rapidly disappearing one at that.

The worst thing Microsoft did with their acquisition of the handset business was to maintain an exclusive license to the name for 5 years, up to 2016, well past the point where Windows Phone OS was discontinued.

I was in the RUP universe for a period of my career and I would never want to go back on it agile was a refreshing breeze back then.

However, the framework needs updates in several important areas: operations, data science, end of the PO figure and incorporating other actors as part of the feedback cycle, tech debt management, how to deal with uncertainty more efficiently, and so on.

Unfortunately due to a lot of issues in our industry, agile got a lot of bad rep plus a lot of luggage it turns very hard to have a dispassionate discussion that the IQ of the participants does not drop 20%, at least. It's a shame, but I really would like to see some updates on this.

How come you think YouTube Premium would be the same cost as Spotify or Netflix? Spotify in particular only has to store and stream audio, and Netflix has far far less video and audio to store than YouTube - they also both only allow somewhat official content on their platforms (you have to register as an artist to upload to Spotify, and you have to be a registered studio to get onto Netflix). YouTube allows unlimited length, 8K, HDR, 60fps video from anyone who signs up with an email and password. I don't have any actual numbers, but I find it difficult to imagine that YouTube Music (storing one cover image and some audio tracks for a whole album) costs them anything in comparison to the main YouTube service.
