Yeah it needs to be made transitive. If you've bought a digital copy of the work from one distributor that should obligate the rightsholder to transferring the individual distribution rights (this needs to be nailed to the wall by the legislature so that distribution rights all carry this mandate by law). If they want to switch distributors then the old distributor needs to be obligated to provide a method of transferring those individual distribution rights to the new distributor. If all this is "too burdensome" (editorial note: cry harder about your profits you fucking capitalist goons) then all the parties can just make it public domain.
funny noone mentioned Winnie the Pooh and the zen there of..

"I like that too," said Christopher Robin, "but what I like doing best is Nothing."
"How do you do Nothing?" asked Pooh, after he had wondered for a long time.
"Well, it's when people call out at you just as you're going off to do it 'What are you going to do, Christopher Robin?' and you say 'Oh, nothing,' and then you go and do it."
"Oh, I see," said Pooh.
"This is a nothing sort of thing that we're doing now."
"Oh, I see," said Pooh again.
"It means just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering."
"Oh!" said Pooh.

"do nothing and nothing will be left undone" is the ancient chinese thing, except that Nothing there means not-a-thing :/ which is more like every-thing..

Managers don't need to attend.

Nobody said anything about waiting. Getting blocked can come up after yesterday's standup and still be an issue lesss than 24 hours later despite working on it.

Some people don't claim/update their tickets. Most people don't update their tickets with progress every day. Most people don't push WIP branches (and if they did, who has the time to look thru the entire team's WIP code?). Teammates on the ground are interested in what, specifically, their peers are working on and thinking about overlap/potential conflicts on the ground.

> thousands of people believe it is worth paying for.

Except, in good old libertarian fashion, they tend not to pay for it. First, the vast majority of the around $100 it costs to process a BTC transaction comes not from explicit fees, but from (invisible) money supply increase (the mining reward). That still neglects the environmental externalities, which are probably in the $30+ region.
If you need a designated meeting for communicating with your teammate you already failed the qualification of highly functioning team.
> It uses the standards set for containerization to make userland configuration reproducible as well. There's a manifest (Containerfile) that enumerates all the modifications, which means an upgrade is bump the version of the base image and replay all the modifications from the manifest.

Is the containerfile syntax and reproducibility as good as configuration.nix / NixOS?

I love NixOS but it’s a very acquired taste, to the point where even I occasionally wish I was running something bog-standard. If this is similar to NixOS but closer to regular Linux, that’d be nice to recommend to friends.
> a junior has been told to or assumes they need to “figure it out” and wastes a bunch of time instead of asking.

Often you don't even know. More than once I've discovered someone working on a complex problem - they were making progress so didn't realize that someone else already had a solution and so they could save days of effort by asking the right person the right question.
The Design of Design (2010)
I can see where Spavor sued the Canadian government, but can't find Spavor vs. Kovrig (or vice-versa). Still, since returning to Canada, Spavor is continuing to state that he provided espionage intelligence to Kovrig. So that checks out.

> Spavor is seeking a multimillion dollar settlement against the federal government for involving him in espionage activities without his knowledge. Spavor alleges that he provided Michael Kovrig with intelligence on North Korea, which Kovrig then secretly gave to the Canadian government and its Five Eyes allies without Spavor's permission, leading to their arrest and detention.
Why wouldn’t there be a point?
> I've heard people say that both warmer weather and colder weather are both evidence that the climate-change theory is right.

The evidence that the climate is warming isn't "warmer weather" or "colder weather". It's that average sea-temperatures around the world have been rising steadily, year-on-year. The predicted effect of that rising temperature on the weather is that we should expect more extreme weather: more floods, more droughts, colder cold-snaps.

It's no good looking at "weather" (e.g. California) to see whether global climate change is happening; weather is a local phenomenon. Mann is vindicated by the behaviour of the (global) climate, not the behaviour of the weather in San Francisco.
Many people have their hand out, because many people think working for free is not a good deal for them.
"To block the necessary amount of solar radiation, the shade would have to be about a million square miles, roughly the size of Argentina, Dr. Rozen said."

"Dr. Rozen said his team was ready to design a prototype shade of 100 square feet and is seeking between $10 million and $20 million to fund the demonstration."
This is exactly what the parent is calling out. Using a standup as a bandaid for fundamental team behavior.
I disagree. They're a great way to quickly get a status update on how things are progressing, what progress is going to be made today, and what is potentially blocking that progress.

Stand-ups meetings by definition are activity focused and not outcome focused. You don't need a daily reminder of what the outcome is, but you do need a daily status update as to how you're moving towards achieving that outcome.
Quoting: "The idea that 2% inflation is good for the economy..."

Two goods (A and B) both were aviable for US$100 in 2019.

First A: 2020 inflation added +1.4% so good A cost $101.40
2021 added another +6.8% so good A now aviable for $108.30
2022 adds um ~8% A now costs $117,-
2023 added another ~3.6% buy good A now for $121,- (!!!)

Wow! Some may think, the price is up 20%

Now take good B everyear inflation adds +2

so good B costs also $100,-
[Liste:]
2020 = $102,-
2021 = $104,-
2022 = $106.10
2023 = $108.24

"quoting": "Government selling an idea to raise spending -cos inflation is a way to raise taxes without raising taxes."

...or -marketing-(crossed) to sell stability over "Control" ?

now that became political...(wayback)

hint: //wiki/Starve_the_beast

"Starve the beast" is a political strategy employed by American conservatives to limit government spending by cutting taxes. Economist Paul Krugman summarized: "Rather than proposing unpopular spending cuts, Republicans would push through popular tax cuts, with the deliberate intention of worsening the government's fiscal position. Spending cuts could then be sold as a necessity rather than a choice, the only way to eliminate an unsustainable budget deficit.

It is both incredibly hot due to solar radiation, and extremely cold, due to the lack of atmosphere to transfer heat.

The sun-side of this parasol will be all melty, while the shade side will be extraordinarily chilly. Whatever it is made of, will need to withstand that extreme thermal gradient.

You're arguing that it's a poison (it isn't) but even worse you're proposing a cure that's far worse. So "go after them" in other words would mean: construct a global authoritarian surveillance apparatus that hunts down energy consumers?
Most of the web traffic is BigTech and big 5 and they see significant cost and energy reductions using QUIC. Nobody cares about Wordpress sites, as it does not make a dent.

> Sure QUIC may be faster, but only as long as you keep getting permission from your TLS CA. Once that stops it's very, very, slow. QUIC is fragile and like other CA TLS things: anything built with it will have a lifetime of only a few years without being updated.

For me, letsencrypt has been set-and-forget for at least 5 years. I use it with nginx, which is in front of several servers including a Jetty 5 server. Jetty 6 was released in 2006. You can configure which CAs you trust as well, so TLS isn't really any more of a centralization problem than DNS is.

>However, in my opinion, this lack of validation (really, lack of parsing in any meaningful sense) means that the performance between this parser and Needletail is incomparable. So what exactly does it demonstrate? You get to claim your implementation is faster than someone else if you do the same task in less time, but not if you skip half the job.

Yeah, this makes the original post just incredibly misleading. Sure, meaningful benchmarks are hard, but before you go writing "woah, look how much faster we are!", a bit more due dilligence should be required.
If you answer "fine" to "how's it going" at standup, you aren't doing your job. It's not the prompt that needs to be specific, it's the engineer. If there are follow up questions, those can be asked, but asking the same three specific but thoughtless questions is just like having a form you have to fill out any time you make a change.

I'd argue here that it's not a problem of context storage, it's a problem of not ignoring cancellation in certain situations. Since context, for better or worse, has two purposes, you may still want a lot of the request-scoped data for later operations after the initial timeout/deadline is done. And since context has a standardized bag of data, it's more future-proof to just keep using the context and its data rather than, say, extracting the data you know about today (like trace/span ids) and storing that for later use.

Fortunately, following appropriate patterns here got a lot easier with 1.21 and the addition of `context.WithoutCancel`. If you're going to store a context for later use, since there's potentially e.g. tracing data you still want to keep, make sure you appropriately `context.WithoutCancel` to keep the data without keeping the original deadline.
The physician who gives legitimacy to denying coverage at an insurance company is at the very heart of what you're complaining about.

Actually, the idea of a bitcoin operation in the middle of a desert is maybe the only decent defense of its waste of energy I've heard.

Someone harvesting solar power in the middle of the desert doesn't have to connect to any other energy grids to conduct mining, so in theory it's not driving up costs for other consumers or wasting energy that could be used for literally anything else.

It'd still be a waste of the solar panels and resources though, and the setup would certainly involve some externalities with other impact. And realistically the overwhelming majority of mining operations are not doing this, so it's just smoke and mirrors by people arguing in bad faith.

But I'd have much less of a problem with bitcoin if all its mining came from remote locations that would see no development otherwise, using energy harvested from the environment.
Can attest to this, typing this on a 6 year old iphone 8 plus
But if bitcoin can operate in China now where it's been repeatedly banned and the network chugs along completely uninterrupted it seems like a stretch that governments (of which the entire world would have to band together) have any say here.
I don't follow: how are they not server grade? How are they crippled Power9s? What x86 server are you comparing them to?

For example, the Talos II system has dual (server) CPU sockets with up to 24 cores/96 threads per processor; 16 ECC memory slots with 2TB capacity; SAS controller; out of band management and service processor (separate serial and ethernet ports for the BMC); a server form factor; better capacitors; no onboard audio and only rudimentary graphics; and a thick/quality PCB. It's also made in America. What else were you looking for?
Why do we need more RFC1918 addresses? What's wrong with 10.0.0.0/8?
I tried it with rust, it's so bad it's simply not usable, it hallucinates methods and even the syntax is wrong at some points (it especially can't get error types correct or seems). Gpt4 doesn't handle rust perfect either, but the code it produces is good enough to only need some touch-ups, it can explain and fix wrong use of (we all known) libraries and even gets async code. But it's especially great for boilerplate, saves so must typing.

I was hoping openai/gpt4 would see some healthy competition, but Gemini doesn't seem to be it. Of course, the rust language might be an edge case.
You might want to prepare for the worst then.

That's probably not what you were expecting, but if that's really the case, it probably doesn't help that society is hyper-polarized. It also doesn't help that the main political opponent in the next election is being railroaded by the court system.

If the idea is to unify and coordinate to solve problems, alienating and demonizing 70M voters and half of the country is not the way to do so. The message half the country hears and thinks is: when push comes to shove, the other half prefer crushing political competition by any means necessary rather than find common ground and work together. Those are the rules one side is playing by, and it shouldn't be a surprise when the other side does the same, or takes their ball and goes home.
I suppose such a kill switch could work, but it really depends on the training of the people who would pull that switch.

Would they do it as soon as polite dudes in suits walk in? Would chaos ensue if the switch were pulled in a false alarm? If not, then it's "reversible" and an employee could be coerced into flipping it back, right?
I've played with both over the years! Excellent advice though.
Honestly, any and all of these fads - Scrum or whatever - are just ways for poor managers to feel important. Oh, and for expensive consultants to earn money.

If you have a solid team, literally any methodology will work. The best methodology is the one the team chooses, and that may well change for each particular project.
Unlike music, which was DRM free and could legally be ripped from a CD using iTunes. There was no easy legal solution for Apple to ship software that could rip DVDs. When the iPod with video came out, iTunes also started selling movies. The next year Apple introduced movie rentals .

Are you really suggesting that it would be a good mainstream product to offer video downloads - in 2024 - where people used a computer to download movies to a computer and then upload them to all of their devices? How then do they watch on their TV with the built in apps?

They setup their own Plex server? When I want to binge 30 seasons of South Park - some on my TV, some on my phone, some on my iPad, do I copy it to all three places?

What keeps track of what I watch and don’t watch?
I can't help but have a negative reaction to having this discussion at all. All human beings are unique and different. Getting a group of them together means you will have a unique group dynamic.

Each team needs to develop a process that meets the needs of the group. For some teams standups are useless because the team is on the high end of the communication spectrum and also on the high end of the process spectrum, meaning they communicate well and update their tickets. Other teams are on the low end of both of these and benefit from standups and management structure that forces improvements to both of those.

Agile is about building systems, tools, and processes that allow your team to win. That requires understanding how your team operates and what they need to do their best work. There will never be a right answer to the majority of these types of questions.
Netflix is a company that works with media people. You either understand what that implies or you don't.

And remember, this is the backend for video encoding. Issues in this aren't necessarily user visible.

The big benefit to their velocity is responsiveness. Apparently the backend team understands their customer and the timelines that the customer wants, and adjusted appropriately.

Just dealing with ads would have been problematic, because those tend to be straight 1080 or 4k with stereo. Nothing fancy, but I'll bet they didn't fit inside the chunk size they were expecting since ads are usually 30 seconds or less. And they don't need the dynamic encoding etc that normal titles do.

I wonder how much benefit dynamic encoding brings in space reduction?
This is the way.

If a standup goes longer than 2 ish minutes a person, it's no longer a "stand up". Pull up a chair, sit down and chat, you're having a meeting.

The 3 questions could be answered in 1 to 2 sentences... the check in is for every one to see everyone else's face to inform secondary meetings.
Ouch. 15 minutes is the rule. 30 minutes is way too long. I was in only one team that followed the rule, and after 15 minutes people would start leaving the room regardless of whether others are talking. If someone had a habit of speaking too much, he was coached.

When we were on site, we would try to schedule the room such that someone else had a booking at the 15 minute mark - so you had no choice but to keep it in that window.
Economic decoupling only makes conflict more likely. Is that obvious to everyone in government and everyone just wants conflict? Or are there voices trying to de-escalate?
After the copyright expires it's no longer a copyrighted work and then you're not circumventing DRM that protects a copyrighted work.

The real problem is that circumvention tools are prohibited regardless of what you use them for, so then they use the same DRM system on works that are still under copyright and you nominally can't provide someone with tools to break the DRM on the ones in the public domain. (In practice people just ignore the law or distribute circumvention tools from servers in other countries.)

It's not completely obvious that it actually works this way. For example, if someone's "DRM system" is that the box it comes in is screwed shut and you're intended to use some I/O pins provided on the outside, does that mean a screw driver is a circumvention tool and therefore screw drivers are illegal? Obviously problematic if so, but in the reverse case where anyone else using the same system for something other than protecting a copyrighted work means anyone can distribute tools to circumvent it, third parties would just put public domain works behind the same DRM system as copyrighted ones so that anyone could distribute circumvention tools. The prohibition on circumvention tools is batshit crazy.

Do I need a Fortinet firewall for my tooth brush?
Thank you. Even after spending 10 minutes reading, I still have only a vague idea of why this project exists.

All of the code examples look like a slightly different syntax for express.js.

So it's a server side javascript framework for handling HTTP requests?

Since it targets multiple runtimes, I suppose it's "express.js but without the node.js dependency?".

I feel like that's closer, but I'm still missing the "why should I care?" part.

Apparently, because you can't seriously be asking that question. You've clearly never worked in any kind of customer support position, because businesses and individuals need all kinds of help with a transition like that.
