Do you need a person teaching you directly? Then you need a mentor (to guide you) or to go back to school.

If you just need someone to have done the legwork and established the exercises and presentation of material for you, there are a myriad of options: books, blogs, videos, open courses, paid courses, etc.

The trick I've found to mastering a field without having a teacher standing over me and guiding me (and even when I have a teacher) is to learn to construct my own courses and exercises. These are "synthetic". I look at multiple university courses on a topic and grab one or more books, and then work through them in an order that fits my way of learning. If they have a lot of exercises, I do them. If they don't or their exercises are poor (happens), I have learned (over the years) to construct my own exercises.

A major lesson from years of doing this is that there are no perfect teachers, courses, books, or other resources that will, on their own, teach me a topic to mastery. I have to assemble it myself to fit my way of learning and needs as a learner. That part requires introspection along with trial and error. I attempted courses and books that taught me nothing (or barely anything). After a bit of floundering with that, I took a step back and figured out what resources were effective and ineffective for me, what they had in common or were missing, and started assembling my own "courses".

That's a very useful skill to develop, and it transcends disciplines. Even if you do have an actual teacher with you this is still helpful (perhaps even essential) to be able to go beyond what they're teaching you and to cover over their weaknesses as a teacher (either general weaknesses or weaknesses with respect to you).
Lot of strong opinions based on feelings and bad research. There are even books and leaked internal studies that describe the change of culture and engineering at Boeing. You can't just use the last incident and it's circumstances to come to a conclusion. It's systemic failure.

Look up interviews of Spirit AeroSystems CEOs or their counterparts at Airbus and Boeing and you'll see that they get handled differently.

The information is out there you'll just need to take it. 5 mins of googling is just not enough for a topic like this.

Fair criticism.

But the part I'm not understanding is that you seem imply that recruiters are better at selection/vetting than a directory or platform that's run by experienced engineers who are selecting other experienced engineers.

I also don't think this is an either/or. Most managers only care about quality candidates coming through the door. So there can be multiple solutions. This isn't a winner take all market by any means.

It's a crowded field so getting noticed will be a challenge.

I was just about to post that same link. I suspect the reason you don't see them much is because installing one will often require more plumbing and more labor. Residential installations in the US are particularly sensitive to up-front cost, and tradespeople in the US tend to be conservative in choosing 'new' technology.
No, it wasn't a typo; the 0-clause BSD looks pretty similar to the MIT license, and from a cursory reading, it appears that the clauses are what makes the BSD license different from the MIT license. I was wondering if my reading is correct or if I've missed something.

Large sums of money were transferred out of East Germany too. E.g. a lot of real estate was bought of by investors from the West. Unsurprisingly because the economy of the east was crushed after reunification.

Of course it's a question of where the money flows from and to. The money flowing into East Germany comes from taxes, paid by all. The money flowing from East Germany ended up in the pockets of "investors". Which is yet another example of why inequality is rising.

I get really tired of seeing this once a month. OP had a bad experience with Scrum. Lots of people have. I've seen it be incredibly effective. I generally prefer Kanban, the principles are mostly the same. In my experience, the effectiveness really boils down to team maturity. The crux of the process revolves around writing user stories that define an increment of user value and executing on each story past all defined quality gates in strict priority order. It does not and really cannot make a team actually operate faster, only deliver increments with observable velocity. In practice, most teams will end up going slower, but delivering more accurately and reducing rework or unmet expectations.

At best, Scrum or Kanban with a tool like JIRA are really there to establish a shared vernacular and facilitate clear communication and manage expectations. And if done properly, they are incredibly effective.

My biggest problem with Scrum in particular is really the word "Sprint". It implies we're all rushing to a goal and that's really never the cast. Literally just rename your 2-week iteration as a "Slog" and change nothing else and see how people react.

Where the process typically breaks down is being unclear about priorities, working on too many things at once, skipping quality gates, defining tasks instead of features or trying to estimate an entire product backlog at once and setting a deadline that is utterly doomed to fail.

What do you mean? It makes skin permeable?
In general, it has great mechanical sympathy. You need to split your larger problem into smaller sub-problems, and then figure out which sub-problems depend on each other using the recursive formulation. Once you have done that, there should be no more need to have a stack, so you can just use an array to store the results of the depended on problems, and a loop to change which problem is being solved.

This article doesn't make the final step from recursion to loop but you would probably want to if you were doing DP in production.

Edit: Actually the article does make this jump. See the last code snippet before the conclusions section. Note also the second note after the snippet, which explains that the snippet itself uses a larger array than is necessary.
> People's names, roles in the company, and voices were revealed. If you Google "rosie cloudflare hr", the top result is a LinkedIn profile for Rosemary J. Fantozzi, who works in GTM HR

As you noted, Rosie's name and title was already public on LinkedIn! So it's just the voice that was possibly non-public, and I don't think that's widely considered to be "confidential information".

As for breaking the law, I consider thr actions to be whistleblowing on a layoff disguised as performance-related firing (as evidenced bu the recording!) Realizing this information is in the public's interest, she showed excellent judgement and robustly defended herself against a sham dismissal that makes a mockery of norms: most companies have the decency to place "poor performers" on PIPs (even when the poor performance is due to stack-ranking rather than failure to do assigned duties). Firing someone for poor performance out of the blue, without giving them feedback about it first is immoral (and hopefully illegal considering employment is at-will. That could have fired her fir any reason, but I suppose they don't want to trigger layoff-provisions)
A little bit of suffering drives growth, too much and things start to decline. If you go work out at the gym your muscles will grow, but if you fatigue them to an extreme you’ll get rhabdo and they’ll start to break down.

We’re at a point where the majority of humanity is struggling with cost of living while others live in excess at their expense. This will cause species level decline if we don’t fix it.

Capitalism is abusive and exploitative; it abuses people and the environment to feed itself. It is a vampire. If humanity is going to survive we need to start acknowledging Capitalism for what it is: abuse!

What does this mean in practice? How will the EU app store be different from the global one? Do we have more info on this other than this rumor article?

The link to the "Power On" newsletter shows me a half-loaded page that talks about the Apple Vision Pro, there is no mention of the App Store. Quality journalism.
I'm not saying using AWS is universality bad. Depends on your needs.

What I'm saying is some people are trying to portrait rolling your own k8s or on-prem as equivalent to rolling your own crypto - better left to the chosen ones with years of training in secret monastery. This is BS :-)
> nothing a private company does can be wrong because competition will correct all mistakes in the long run

There must be real competition for this to work. In reality their are 2 large plane builders, Airbus and Boeing. And I believe Airbus also as issues too.

Plus, you know that old saying, "In the long run, we are all dead" :)
> and the article discusses the usual extreme income inequality

The article paints only a partial picture.

See for example the Gini data from 2021

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_by_we...

There are other factors for inequality. One is that "East Germany" has 1/3 the median wealth compared to "West Germany".

We have a million refugees from the Ukraine here. That makes the housing situation difficult, because available space is scarce and expensive.

Energy was very expensive last year, due to the Russian energy war against Europe (and especially Germany).

Financing an apartment or a house got very expensive due to higher interest rates for credits and rising construction costs.

People lost jobs during the covid pandemic.

Still there is little unemployment.

> Are people thriving or are they just going through the motions of living? Sounds like to me that most people are just surviving, and suffering the whole time, while the richies live on the backs of everyone else.

"most people are just surviving" ? Have you ever been to Germany?

> Again, the article talks about "farmers protest against the German government's planned cuts to agricultural sector subsides".

"subsides" - they are fighting to keep these privileges. Nowhere else is the agriculture sector so much protected than in Germany (and the EU). They are driving with tax-free diesel to the protests. Agriculture for example has quite a different structure in Germany compared to the US.
Self-hosting could be a solution to resource consumption.
The root of the problem is that it's hard to quantify engineering quality. That means it's hard for shareholders to hold it to a high standard to preserve long-term value. But it's just as hard for socialist planners to do that.
Do you freelance now? And when you're looking for a job, how do you go about it? (recruiters?)
I have never, ever worked at a company where I e joyed any form of agile or scrum. All it did was kill my joy, add more meetings and complicate even the simplest things. I honestly wish it would just go away.
This is great, going to try this approach with my Japanese Anki reps.

> It's really bad at the university level here at the moment, feels like we have a loop of ChatGPT producing learning material, students submitting work written by ChatGPT, and then lecturers marking it with ChatGPT.

> Currently, I have a quiz generator hosted on [redacted], it uses OpenAI API to create a quiz on an input topic or based on uploaded PDFs

I guess I'm confused on your intent here? You are complaining that things are really bad with everyone using AI and your response is to build and release another AI tool?

> everyone seems obsessed with the short-term quick wins, and being fresh out of the UK education system

Seems like an AI quiz generating is a short-term quick win.

I was hoping when i first started reading your post that it would be pedagogy based around teaching to learn without AI and how to use AI in the best ways. Maybe I am misunderstanding the project, but seems like another cheap short-sighted attempt and getting kids to regurgitate content in the least meaningful way possible.

Edit: Reading your site, edu-ai.co.uk not sure if this is a troll post or not, but looks like every post you have there is generated by ChatGPT.

> Just because you dislike it doesn’t mean it’s not a useful framework.

You've got your arrow of causality backwards. People dislike it because it's a useless framework when taken in the simplistic way you've presented it.

The actual concept doesn't say that you can only make a profit by stepping on people's heads. It says you can't profitably do the same thing in a market forever. You have to introduce new and better products, which you can profit from until your competitors catch up.
There are mountainous cities which use gondola systems.

Which is another flavor of Agile which is what everyone is always complaining about. I'd take some form of Kanban any day over doing rigid Scrum by the book. Kanban needs a lot very similar meetings though. You still need to fill the backlog, discuss the tickets. If you were to do Kanban by the book as described by the Agile Alliance, you'd still do standups, retro under a different name etc.

It took me a while to understand Crook's algorithm because the paper is written in a very technical language for mathematicians and I'm not one of them. The first example in the paper was also written very poorly in my opinion and was very confusing.

I was able to find some resources on the web to help explain it, after several hours of searching. Now I'm able to solve puzzles that were previously impossible pretty quickly.
I’d draw a lot and probably prototype as well - I suppose the main thing is that we never get to that as we estimate but don’t do “big design upfront”
Spirit does smaller assemblies for Airbus, whose production is mostly in Europe. They don't do whole airframes for them afaik.

The client still has the responsibility of doing quality controls at reception, or have good reasons to lighten them. Boeing has a lot to answer, especially since FAA gave them (after a ton of lobbying) the right to self-control themselves.
The real culprit is coming up with a bunch of metrics that fail to model the actual performance of people. It instead incentivises going after the metrics. The type of orgs likely to metric-ify just happen to overlap a lot with the people that prefer scrum or agile or whatever.

There are certainly eddy currents within the heart, but the heart is not an eddy pump. As pumps go, the heart is most similar to a reciprocating volumetric pump.

> when society has no choice but to start handing out bailouts

"Too big to fail" works if they're making the right people rich but were otherwise being seen to do their job, then suddenly external factors seem to threaten their existence and money can get them back to making the right people rich. The pandemic was a good example of that. However, when they're publicly failing to do their job due to a broken or corrupt internal culture then instead of bailouts they might get broken up or more drastically changed because money can't solve the problem at that point.
I remember reading on a plumbing blog (or YouTube or something) about someone who installed one of these - high end house, massive shower, owner who liked to take hour long hot showers or something.

In that case, it paid for itself pretty quickly.

For "normal use cases" the cost savings over time just isn't there, when you compare the added complexity. You're better off saving heat with on-demand heaters or HVAC recirculators, etc.

Places where it could make sense already use them (I believe car washes recycle water and heat in some locations).
I was thinking, "truth was probably closer to 30 cats than 14,000", until I looked up Borneo in wikipedia. It has over 280,000 square miles, so 14,000 cats works out to a little over 20 square miles per cat. So, I could believe that they needed something like 14,000 cats to make any difference.

By the way, where I live in southeast Austin, Texas, USA, I have seen feral cats catch rats on many occasions. So, for those who think feral cats catching rats is not a real thing, believe me, it totally is. Most of the time it probably happens at night, and I'm not outside that often even during the day, so if I've witnessed it on multiple occasions it must not be very rare.
I was one of those AWS people that worked with Financial Services customers.

We (at least my team) were always pushing for a minimum of modernization when architecting migration projects - even a simple move to containers, managed by whatever orchestrator they want to run. It helps enormously on costs at least by just taking off so many overhead and overprovisioned VMs from the roster of migration candidates.

More often than not, the customer will refuse that and opt for lift + shift. It's either too hard, they don't have the resources or time, etc.
You may find invoking brands like Disney, Pixar, and their IP, including Lighting McQueen, to be problematic from a legal perspective. I can't imagine many people would take a chance on this if the marketing materials are so blatantly ignoring the law.
What Hallucinations Can Sometimes Be Like
I was trained in Scrum, but the main thing I learned was that it is the opposite of what the "companies using Scrum" do. When I mentioned that in the company I worked at (the one that paid for my training), I was told that "we do Scrum differently here". They paid for my Scrum training just to tell me to shut up and do it the traditional way, only now I was supposed to call it Scrum, and the existing meetings had to be renamed using Scrum terminology. Oh, except for the retrospective (the part where developers provide feedback on everything, including Scrum itself), because retrospectives are a waste of time!

So it seems to me that the main reason why "true Scrum has never been tried" is that most companies never intended to actually try it. They just wanted the buzzword.
The problem is fixed now in master. It was caused by an attempt to shutdown the SSL session (which requires sending data) in a closed file descriptor, which is handled different between OpenSSL (no thread error queued) and LibreSSL (badsectoracula was using LibreSSL, which queues a thread error), and later causes an assert to trigger as it was not expecting any error in the queue.
