Will save you some trouble reading a book. Wisdoms I've learned over the years...

- single entry point (/api/) which delegates dynamically to named resources in a components (or "plugin") folder. (So /api/user/... Is delegated to (app/plugins/user.ext) which may subroute.

- Do not follow full CRUD. Instead only support GET and POST. Use POST to upsert. If no GUID (0), it's new. Delete is a flag (never actually remove records, instead set a delete flag and use that in queries.) (Note: not universally popular yet practical)

- Use ULIDs or UUIDv7+ (serialized, timecoded, good entropy.) If you want to be hard core (best index performance), save in db as binary and convert to conventional format for front end usage.

- do not return a raw data set result, instead return an envelope containing the data set { status, message, data }. Set proper HTTP response headers.

- generate a single use session token on authorization (set in the HTTP request header), use that to track sessions.

- dont use redundant names (/api/user/user_profile) just use /api/user/profile. Seems obvious and yet ...

Hope you find this helpful! Let me know if I haven't addressed something (or to argue about that CRUD COMMENT ;)
I agree - I'd call it a virtuous cycle. Although I suppose there's a time and effort cost.

But I dint see how, e.g. the UK, could get there from here. If we started having six referenda a year, I foresee the electorate largely switching off, leaving only the rabid and the pensioners. They don't need any more influence.

If we campaigned for this change, the campaign won't survive its first day. There's nothing in it for the legacy media, and it's not snappy enough to go viral.

Perhaps if we first moved to coalition-based politics, the way would open to direct democracy? I anyway like coalition-based politics on its own merits, which I hope would be:

- increased voter information and engagement
- moving discourse from identity politics to issues
- reduce the power of media interests
- offer choices between broad manifestos and single-issue campaigns
- enfranchise people not represented by the current dominant parties
- capture voter preferences more accurately
- reduce the cyclical nature of government
- due to which, promote long-term thinking

Germany looks like a happy example; Israel looks like a problematic one. Israel suffers from an intolerant minority; from here, the tail looks to be wagging the dog on all the big issues, which is not a healthy dynamic. I think that's particular to that nation, though.

Coalition politics is still a very tough sell in countries with FPTP. We'd have to start by abolishing that.

Every time I think through a political issue, I arrive at the same conclusion: the most pressing issue for the UK and America is the abolition of FPTP. It's frustrating.
Scrum is really useful for exploration and innovation work, things that may not even involve programming.

In general I think sticking to Scrum for Software Engineering is overkill, or maybe the 2 week sprints are too short.

I've had much happier engineers and product owners when working in Kanban, a steady stream of work with as few meetings as you can manage is much better for SE work, it is harder to get it up and running though, and can take some time to bed in.
Why startups making cheap factory-built starter homes keep failing
This is nothing that regulation can't solve. German regulations prohibit wind farms with such periodic shadowing if it occurs more than 30 minutes a day or 30 hours per year for a house.
Probably just older data based on looking at the trends https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/APUS49E72610?amp%253bdata_to... and https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/APUS49A72610?amp%253bdata_to...

That said, mentioning it is one thing (it makes the case for low power devices even stronger) but why stop reading anything after the first error you identify? That doesn't guarantee you only get accurate information it just guarantees you'll miss out on good information, like the cheap high speed connectivity the article is actually demonstrating.
Oops I overlooked that discussion, sorry.

That is sure a nice system for the money! Wow. I will check if I can get those in Europe.
Néophyte question:

I chose React because it really made life much easier when it came to reusing components and organising my projects. I find bare bones React the right level of complexity for me and I can get a lot done with it
My biggest pet peeves are (a) when mature software or mature organizations pretend they are a three person startup and refuse to document anything and have meetings all day (b) when product owners say f the existing architecture or tech debt and literally tell you to rip out everything and install a new tech stack because it is agile.

These morons know nothing and bark out orders based on their agile bonafides which is nothing more than snake oil. A magical cure all irrespective of the problem you are trying to solve.
Not necessarily. Most of the 139's I get these days are SIGSEGV related. Obviously if you annoy the MMU at that level it's not going to get given an opportunity to write anything useful to stderr.
Automatic switch is not possible due to different signatures, which is in fact a good thing. If the Fossify project keeps it running, contribution of your students is not lost at all.
It will be interesting if it's the Denmark model or whether they put the responsibility on third party app stores to supply this data to Apple on behalf of the hosted apps.

Either way third party app stores should end up being noticeably more expensive than using the official. Especially once they start having to deal with fraud, chargebacks etc.
Interesting, I never experienced a team broken by Scrum. Just a retro, planning, demo, 15min daily and that's about it. Lots of other meetings, yes, but none of them due to Scrum, but rather complex company processes.
In the past I dreamed I was a realist.

Then I accepted the reality.
My reaction to “internet treasure” was that I was reading SD in the Austin Chronicle before there was an Internet as we know it. I checked my recollection and found:

Cecil Adams is the pseudonymous author of The Straight Dope, a popular question and answer column published in The Chicago Reader from 2 February 1973 to 2018. The true identity of Adams, whether a single individual or a group of authors, has remained secret. The Chicago Reader's 1986 trademark filing for the name "Cecil Adams" states that "Cecil Adams does not identify any particular individual but was devised as a fanciful name."

They're more than complicit. Either DoorDash or UberEats (I can't remember which; maybe both do) tries to persuade restaurants to license their brand to ghost kitchens run by the delivery company.

I dont understand this perspective. "Will you still like the product if all its functionality is removed?" Obviously not, but so what? When that day comes you can easily get rid of it.
React. Its way easier to hire for. It has a much larger support community and tool ecosystem.

Vue was great until the v3 rewrite where they tried to copy react hooks.
$851?!

Well, at second glance, it's definitely larger than it appeared to be in the picture. Home depot says 35 pounds, so ~$100 worth of copper.

Truly sorry to hijack, but if you have any recommendations for shared French vocab cards I'd greatly appreciate you pointing me in the right direction. I have some French from school, but would like to get back into it and it's...daunting.
Ok, I'll take your word for it and I apologize for overreacting!
A quick google suggests 50-70% efficiency on shower heat recovery. Sounds pretty good to me.
I use multiple spaced repetition apps per day just for fun because I like doing flashcards as a hobby. I have tried this out, its good, but still not as good as the newest version of Supermemo. You can tell if you put the same or similar material into two or more apps. FSRS is much better than almost everything else out right now though and I think it will be better than Supermemo very soon. I tried Mochi Cards for about a year and it was just okay, a little better than a default Anki install. Mnemosyne is the same. The Supermemo SaaS app is okay, but I don't like how they structure their language materials.

For language vocab, I use Clozemaster, but then I put the sentence into Supermemo after I get it right because the SM algo is that much better. They also have ChatGPT explanations for each word of the sentence. I also put those into Supermeno.

The hardest part is making good cards for sure. This will help with more ideas: http://arxiv.org/abs/2401.01257 and https://rust-book.cs.brown.edu

Also, I have not found a flashcard program that lets you make cards as fast as Supermemo. With Supermemo, you paste in a chunk of text (ctrl-n), highlight a word you want to make cloze deletion from, and press alt-x. You can do it multiple times on the same piece of text, and every time you do it, you get a new cloze deletion card in your reviews. Almost every other app, you have to make a single card at a time. I think its because most other apps stick too hard to the cards and decks metaphor. Supermemo uses a tree structure to organize everything. It makes a big difference. Technically, you don't really need to organize anything though. People act like the material they learn is going to be categorized into neat decks in their head.
> But couldn't they have dozens of variations of the guy revealing his system?

Interesting thought. There is a big cost to this on the ad creator side. I also wonder about how they would make a customizable standardization for this?

In email we can use fields like your name and job title, for example with targeted LinkedIn recruiters.

I can foresee video ads which utilize AI calling your name.. I guess this is Minority Report..

But underlying this modern web ads already give us granular targeting though interests. So most of the benefit is already there.
It's useful to a lot of people, not everyone has the same requirements. I'm running SecureBoot and LUKS encryption on my Laptop. If there's a TPM2 interface in whatever you can use the same thing. Add an immutable Linux distro and Kubernetes and you'll cover pretty many use cases. Not everyone has the same requirements, $BIGCLOUD makes things easier, but you also pay top dollar for it.

I'm a scientist that through a lateral career move has ended up doing something akin to software development. This means for the last few years I have attended daily scrum meetings for the project I'm working on.

Perhaps it's my inexperience with software development, or maybe it's specific to the company I work for, or the people on my team, but but I find the entire process a gigantic waste of time and mental energy. How does everyone else deal with this? Is there a better way that will help me not dread attending my standup?
Don't forget, the heat is also keeping the pipes unclogged. If you remove the heat a lot of the fats turn into hard mass that is extremely difficult to get rid of.

This is what happens when sewage is given time to cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i_axpk0a7Q

Reminds me of the story of what happened when traffic lights got "upgraded" to LED to save on energy. First winter all traffic lights got completely covered in snow and traffic ground to a halt. The "waste" heat as was not such a complete waste after all, it was continuously melting snow off the lights.

I don’t get that. I would say the same about white rice. Why would I ever eat it when I could be eating delicious black rice?

And before you start, I eat a gō of rice virtually every day.

I’m genuinely confused about the popularity of white rice.
I don't think there's much VCs would want w/htmx: it's a really simple concept implemented in a single js file w/no moats or obvious market opportunities as far as i can tell, and I'm a one man shop. I think I got the calls because htmx trended on twitter a couple of times.

MSFT might want it because it's gotten a lot of attention lately (finished #2 in https://risingstars.js.org/2023/en#section-framework for 2023) and would give them a front-end library in the game w/ React, Vue, Svelte, etc. On the other hand, i've made the social media account pretty toxic/funny (same thing) for a big tech company and now the library is 0BSD, and htmx's agnosticism towards back end tech doesn't really dovetail w/ the Microsoft ethos.
Apple can absolutely collect their 15-30% commission.

You are using their developer tools and SDKs and like other tooling e.g. game engines they can recoup this cost through a per-sale model.
Grav: On-Device AI
But you cannot apply any of Good, Fast, Cheap to the Boeing products.

And they know airlines are going to buy their planes anyway. What are the alternatives? To wait 10 years to get Airbus? And hire second set of technicians and maintenance bases for Airbus while have the same for existing Boeing fleet?
Deny is a strong word. If Boeing's customers ask for a product that minimizes their staff retraining costs, is it simply Boeing at fault here? They found a clever way to shove a square peg into a round hole, which worked most of the time. Where it failed is when competing demands of "make it cheaper too" conflicted with the "minimize pilot training." The lowest cost trim was not designed to meet that demand.
By now Boeing has had enough embarrassing engineering failures in recent years that it's pretty clear there's something wrong at the company.

The safety of air travel is not due to current Boeing's practices, if anything, it's despite the efforts of their leadership to cut costs. Air travel safety is due to operational procedures, airline maintenance personnel and safety regulations.

I agree that this isn't a fundamental fault of capitalism, particularly since the way Boeing is propped up is not very capitalistic.
On the opposite extreme, our teams use Jira, kind of structure it like Scrum, but don’t do any of the actual planning. It’s complete chaos and we have a similar level of meetings, maybe more, with everyone trying to figure out what’s going on and when things will be done. The go-to is a 30-60 minute daily meeting with each individual project manager for each project. Sometimes there are 3 project managers working on different aspects of the same project, so we have 3 hours of meetings (spread throughout the day) to give the same updates 3 times. Of course, there is no update, because all we do is attend meetings to provide updates.

Occasionally our Scrum Master will put an actual scrum meeting on the calendar, but then talks about whatever he wants, and it never moves the ball forward from an organizational point of view. A retrospective would go a long way; we’ve never had one of those. I bring that up often, as the 1 meeting we should have, if we only have 1 meeting.

I tracked my time meticulously for several years, and when I used it to point out how horrible the current environment is, I was told I was doing too much and should be much my lazy about the tracking, to the point where it becomes meaningless.
Expand Your Circle of Competence
Asking "why" or "which" questions should always start with the end goal in mind.

Isn't it obvious?

In my view they both can suck and shine depending on the application.
Not sure what you mean about bypassing complexity, but reinventing the wheel might be a waste of time unless you really need it.

For example Wine supporting Wayland had to do a lot of relatively direct work with the protocols and it made sense there, but otherwise you can just use SDL or something similar or even a higher level toolkit like Qt.
The design of SQL Server has grown increasingly interesting to me over the years. I still prefer SQLite for personal projects, but as the size of our team and average customer goes up, I am looking for something that others can reason with if need be. Ideally, something that I can throw over the fence and not have to answer a bunch of confused questions about pragmas and quirky connection reuse code.

This WAL2 feature is a perfect example of a new kind of concern I have. SQLite has a really competent facility for handling write-ahead today, but it has these edge cases where it may fail under adverse (but totally plausible) scenarios. I haven't yet had a completely corrupted SQLite database, but I have had one incident on a QA server where I had to delete the WAL/SHM files to get the database to work again.
My experience (and path that lead to this) was realizing that a fresh install of Windows 11 gave me PowerShell and not Terminal in the Win+X menu.

WinGet would... launch, but provide no output. And of course, it was my first time trying to use WinGet in general...

A few reboots later suddenly Win+X had Terminal and WinGet started working, and on a subsequent reinstall in a VM I spotted that, yeah, apparently all the extra WinGet, Terminal, etc stuff all has to be pushed from the MS Store instead of Windows Update.

Total pain in the ass.
My problem with setups like these is storage.
Not much room for expansion in the small boxes

Vue has enough job opportunities. Is also more fun work with than React. Vue 3 with script setup is much easier and efficient than React.

It's been working fine. I have the pi's set up to reboot on disk failures, which fixes 99% of the problems (looking at the up time, ony node still reboots once ever 3 weeks or so), and the pods just get migrated, it's not a huge deal.

I use longhorn though, not CEPH, and it's been relatively painless.
There are so many file managers:), but not enough quality, functioning dialers and messaging apps. Many "simple" ones exist with lack of essential features. Even SMT lacks some essentials, like for example to be able to reply with a message to a call (when busy).

Maybe he can get 20 Gbps between 2 servers. You get half because of USB limitations (2 ports on the same hub).
average residential electricity rate is 15.34 cents per kWh

This didn't seem right, as I pay more than double that here in San Francisco. (I calculated $0.35/kWh by dividing the total I paid for electricity generation and delivery, and dividing it by the number of kWh consumed.)

The linked page cites data from over a decade ago (2012).
You should study in the US. From my perspective, it’s not even a close decision.
I've been on two trips to Japan - 2014 and 2023. We enjoyed eating a lot of onigiri on both trips. During the latter trip I noticed that the ¥ price hadn't changed much but the amount of filling (various proteins) had gone down considerably, which makes sense from a business perspective.

We've tried making them at home a couple of times but haven't perfected it yet. Reading this is motivating me to give it another shot soon.
Meanwhile Israel has recently expressed a desire to occupy their neighbors as well as fully settling Gaza and West Bank after they are ethically cleansed.

They also want to create the Ben Gurion strait to compete with the suez.

Look up “Greater Israel”.

It would seem Israel is the root of Egypt’s source of problems.
FAA's delegatory structure used to involve Boeing-paid employees that reported to the FAA but that changed in 2004 (ODA instead of DER) such that the FAA put itself out of the loop. Here's the pre-2004 situation:

> "Since at least 1927, the FAA has delegated certain safety certification responsibilities to qualified individuals within the aviation industry. Until 2004, the FAA regulated the production of new Boeing aircraft through a web of Designated Engineering Representatives (DERs), employees of Boeing charged with ensuring that new aircraft met regulatory standards. These DERs, though paid by Boeing, were selected by and reported to the FAA, which signed off on all certification decisions. “We knew we’d lose our livelihood if we didn’t maintain the integrity of making decisions the way the FAA would do it,” said a former DER. The FAA retained final authority and possessed a clear view of new aircraft’s certification process."

Rolling back that 2004 ODA program to the DER structure would be the rational response at this point.
oh my. Maybe it is? The university they're attached to seems to be a real, serious, school. But these examples are just...worst of the worst stuff. Inscrutable metaphors, wasted axes, variable fonts without meaning, organization schemes that make no sense...the tribute to Ben Shneiderman literally breaks most of his interface design rules and his goals and theories on infoviz.

I understand that much of this material is relatively old, but we actually were better back then.

seems they were more interesting in making money before making good planes. that's short term : sure, you make more money by lowering standards, putting pressure on workers and sending their jobs to smaller off-site companies. you do make more money.

but now that planes have issues, crash, kill people and companies have customers telling them there is no way they are going to buy tickets if the flight goes on a boeing plane....

reputation is gained by tea-spoon. lost by the liter.

the damage to boeing's reputation is gonna take DECADES.
if boeing does not die from it.

so.. how does that short-term stupid money before safety view feels now ?
