It's a way of using Windows that is very tolerable to POSIX commandline diehards. The similarities are numerous and include enhanced scriptability and even small details like up-arrow command history. You could get all of that with Cygwin, but Powershell adds tight OS integration, access to COM objects (or whatever we're calling them this year) as well as the remoting of objects. It's a useful and powerful shell that reminds me of VMS DCL and csh.
You know, today we talk about nazi and fascist because their model is back. Simply. Some fails to recognize it, as fails to recognize it's economical and philosophical origin, so think the others are crazy. Happen frequently.

The tendency to exaggerate small things is also a normal part of this process, because our society start to fracture, things became tough and so anything is seen as a giant thing.

It's not different anyway than the various plethora of managers who attend "schools of management" learning essentially a kind of religion and apply it in their life as a religion, failing to see that. We have on the records stuff like some real estate C-levels hospitalized due to feet burns because at a team building events they have marched on a carpet of hot coals [1] and others in the Nederland who get hospitalized for serious concussions because they have play to drop themselves in the arms of their colleagues... What do you classify such hilarious extreme episodes? They are rare of course, but not so rare, and even without certain outcomes they show a certain approach.

Strongly recommend React-query (now Tanstack Query). ~50% of those useEffect and useState hooks are simply loading data or tracking loading states, mutation state, etc. This really improves with Tanstack Query.

Even better is to get Tanstack Query for free with type-safe backend in T3 stack.

Hard to overstate how much the symptoms described in this thread can improve simply from this.
I don’t like that symbology provides ridiculously small amount of ram - I had one 7 years ago and it had 512 mb of ram, and was chugging. Looking at their website, they still sell a version with 512 mb. That’s a total joke in this day and age.

That being said, there are plenty of companies providing NAS drives at lower price points, with various levels of quality. Generally, they are not worse than a random AMR SBC with a closed source kernel, just like the author here assebled.

Thank you. Putting my thoughts into my comment made me wonder a bit more about the translation I am reading which is Butler’s translation included in the Great Books of Western Culture. It apparently is a somewhat weak translation when compared to modern ones and so I might switch to something modern to see if that helps.

(After re-reading the blog post with more care...) you are right, and thanks for the correction.

Either way, the point stands... the improvement in using a full linear model (that predicts 0.45 or 0.55, depending on state) is marginal compared to the baseline model that always predicts 0.50, as you demonstrate with your code.

To me, this doesn't seem paradoxical... the predictor is indeed providing little information over the "let's flip a coin to predict someone's voting preference" null/baseline predictor, since people's preferences (in aggregate) are almost equivalent to "flipping a coin".

note: I meant "sum", but it's the same, since the ratio between sums of squares is equivalent to the ratio between mean squares

A mixed model is not relevant here. A simple linear regression with one variable will achieve exactly the same results. Coding it as -1 and 1 has no difference to coding it as 0 and 1. You just stuff the rest into the intercept.

You would also want to be predicting 0.45 and 0.55 not 1 and 0 because we solve for squared error.

I never understood the obsession with this kind of thing. I guess it’s important to project managers and the like, but as a software developer? Just give me a list of prioritised tasks. You want me to be in a stand up saying what I did yesterday, what I’ll do today and what are the blockers? Fine, I’ll do that as long as the whole thing doesn’t take longer than 15 mins and you let me focus aftwewards.
I think it's the opposite, there is a growing bubble of interest in hiring for AI stuff. In 5 years time your RAG pipeline model training career is going to pop and become my new `brew install ai-thing`. If I need image recognition/generation or LLMs, I'll call openai APIs the way one might call stripe or Spotify APIs. Don't trust them? Claude. Don't trust anyone? Self-hosted with RAG will be good enough without model training and easy to use by then.

If you want to learn about scrum you are better off learning about XP which is a much superior engineering-centric methodology that Scrum takes heavy influence from.

Scrum can be useful as a way to get a team (and its leaders) going, build habits around releasing small batches/iterations of value but it is not particularly scale-able and puts a ceiling on the performance of a team. For leadership its a good way to get them to start loosening the reigns by having the right conversations.

The board part of Kanban is just one basic component. What gets skipped over are the EXPLICIT POLICIES that are refined over time i.e. what constitutes being in a column; the measurement of throughput (which is covered in the article); and a very high focus on continuous improvement (which includes the columns AND rows of the board, associated policies, and WIP limits)

Scrum gets a lot of hate because it's been commercialized and bastardized by people half-assedly doing it. It has a time and place. If you use a saw as a hammer you're not gonna have a good time.
I find working with React and Mobx a breeze, also for complex apps. Not sure, why this has not been more widely adopted. It eliminates usually the need to use those mentioned unintuitive and error prone state handling mechanisms.
It's a shame that some folks passed their judgement on The Sphere before the project was done. The people who I know who've been were hugely impressed and said it was an engineering marvel. Others were quick to quote a video essay by a 17yo about how it's an idol to our dystopian indulgence.

If it were in Cambridge I could understand the objections to the aesthetics. But this is Vegas! The style guide is basically just "go ham".
Reading a row from a database and putting it on the screen, and reading some numbers from the keyboard and putting them in the database. These things I would not call computation. I mean sure, displaying needs to compute coordinates for where to light up pixels, but that's all already written. I just call it. Same with updating btrees when writing to the db.

I'm guessing if all you do is this kind of db - screen - keyboard and back stuff, haskell is not very useful, if not actively a hindrance.

So much was so right about PowerShell. But it failed to attract a wider audience, and in their quest to woo Linux devs Microsoft has been undermining PowerShell lately. Knowing what PowerShell offers, falling back to bash CLI tools feels like two steps back.

Just some of the stuff PowerShell did right:

- PowerShell cmdlets are self-describing and rich in information. Rather than each command doing its own parsing of parameters, cmdlets describe parameters and delegates the actual parsing to the shell. The shell understands data types, parsing rules, e.g. how to parse a UUID or a date. Not only does this ensure a consistency that was never in *sh shells, but it also enables cool stuff like e.g. autocomplete, predictive input, help instructions etc. almost for free.

- "Simulation" mode (-Confirm and -WhatIf) where a cmdlet can describe the action it is about to take, and the mode of the shell may decline everything (effectively a "simulation mode") or may actually ask the user for permission (-Conform) for each action.

But, alas, PowerShell never caught on outside Windows, and now MS is leaving it to wither in their quest to not upset a wider non-Windows community.
> "useEffect" [...] this function is absolutely not intuitive

100%. I've found `useEffect` is an effective foot-shotgun, even I still blast away some toes with it. What makes it some weird to me from the start (React 16.8, ~2019) is how they folded several, clearly named, lifecycle methods into this one callback. The motivation for this change [1] informs me that maybe I've just never worked on Facebook-scale front-ends or I've just forgotten the pain of explicitly having to write all those methods, but I rather liked their separation.

Oh yes, if I could bet money on it, I'd say it's even likely! However, I think this touches on an under realized phenomenon: the difference between what people say when they are "speaking their mind" in literature/studies (slow, deliberate, careful error checking, often including other people), versus the more real unfiltered version you get that comes out during real time speech (which emerges from cognition).

In the atheism community in particular, there are some very strange beliefs about human beliefs. For example, a recurring claim I hear from atheists is that what object level atheists believe, in fact, is the formal definition of atheism: merely/only a lack of belief in God(s), but no negative belief. The silliness of this should be obvious, but I've had no luck getting any of them to realize (or even contemplate) this, not even one person. The irony is mind boggling. (The same phenomenon exists in science as well interestingly, which is part of why I claim it is a fact that it is an underpowered methodology/ideology for navigating reality, a false prophet if you will.)

I propose that if he (and all other people) didn't actually hold these flawed beliefs in the first place, they wouldn't come out during real time speech... or if they did ~accidentally, they should be realized and corrected (which scientists in public venues tend to do, begrudgingly).

All people suffer from this problem, and I think our culture buries it, for reasons I have no theory about (some sort of psychological game theory maybe?).

Another way of putting it: if you only consume content from someone that is written offline, you are getting a misrepresentation of that person. I think this is a huge deal, yet another important part of reality that our culture behaves as if it is not there. We are like teenagers at best on an absolute scale imho.

Several projects I'm interested in have gone to Discourse. I don't mind the Web interface but the infantile notifications I receive and the nonsense the application sticks into a thread are annoying at best and add nothing to the usefulness of the forum. It otherwise detracts from what should be technical discussions.

Another annoyance are projects that choose to autolock threads in Discourse. On a technical forum such actions are unwarranted as there are times when an investigation can take months and remembering to add a nonsense post to keep a thread from autolocking doesn't always happen. So, a collection of disjoined threads result and even with links to the prior thread(s) the flow of investigation is greatly disrupted. SMH
The big benefit of fly is that your server only costs money when it’s doing something (with autoscaling enabled).
"If you want your childhood-onset gender dysphoric child to desist, and if your child is still well below the age of puberty (which varies, but let’s say, younger than 11 years), you should firmly (but kindly and patiently) insist that your child is a member of his/her birth sex. You should consider finding a therapist if this is difficult for you and your child. You should not allow your child to engage in behaviors such as cross dressing and fantasy play as the other sex. Above all else, you should not let your child socially transition to the other sex."

What a way to say "make your child miserable until they are 17 years old". I suppose this solves the issue by encouraging them to commit suicide.

I started my career with a X term hosted on a SunOS pizza box, have written thousands of scripts, more than a few in the KLoC count.

Several years ago, I had to write a complex unattended robust data transfer system in PowerShell. (I know, I know, without more info these “requirements” beg many questions, but they are all out of scope for this reply.)

I enjoyed the experience so much I switched all my shells, on MacOS (my DD) and on Linux (my most common work environments) to PWSH.

What I liked most about it was the power of passing objects in pipelines, and being able to extract/manipulate some of the properties of an object in the first filter and still have access to others, along with those of objects created by that first filter, in filters later in the pipeline.

Immensely powerful.

The consistency of commands, of error handling, and of object properties was also very nice.

Eventually, as the nature of work changed I switched all shells back to bash, as the older muscle memory asserted itself. PWSH as a shell made sense when I was working and thinking so much in that space, but when I left it, it was more effortful to think in PWSH than to resume bash.

There are times I miss it. There is nothing else in the shell space that comes close, or at least not close enough to justify the effort of switching.

Trying to bring religion into this is beyond amusing. I guess the Japanese are all protestants? Hardly. And rationalizing poor behaviour by saying it's rational is another good one. Lastly, you're trying to shift the discussion by claiming "best way possible" as opposed to others saying "do the bare minimum". These are very often not the same.

The problem is, people don't "get it". There are people in this thread protesting about "doing poor quality work", eg, "racking up tech debt". Why?

Because it eats at them. Because they are in this to build, and build that which holds, which has value.

They have pride in their work! Yet the response some have here is simply don't do the best you can do. These two things are counter to one another!

I am advocating that yes, do the best you can do. Take joy, deep internal joy in doing your job correctly, because of what you build. This indeed does not mean doing the bare minimum, by some broken, made up rationalized excuse.

As I said, a good work ethic is not a protestant thing, it is a human thing.

We can expand this to everything. What are you being compensated for? Are your ethics formed around what's profitable?! Madness!
Fun story: We once had a robot at a very big company you've all heard of that kept getting too close to walls when moving down hallway-like areas. The controls engineer swore he had tuned the controller to death and no further improvements could be had.

A perception engineer took one look at the controller and saw linear error terms for distance left + distance right (distance to walls), changed it to distance left^2 + distance right^2, and the whole thing magically worked beautifully. Exercise for the reader: What position in the hallway minimizes sum of distances squared, vs what position(s) in the hallway minimize sum of distances without square.

This is essentially the same problem you pose.

This same argument applies to most cloud hosting, non-cloud (or less cloudy, Hetzner is a little cloudy) will always be cheaper because the service is more basic in a number of ways.

Fly’s pitch is not just on demand scalable compute, but also that compute being close to the edge, and with “ops-less” deployments. All of those are factors you pay for.

You could pay a little less with a big cloud provider’s serverless platform, a bit less again with regular cloud VMs, a lot less with colo hardware, and a ton less running your own DC (at scale). Obviously not all of these work for all businesses, but saying Hetzner is cheaper than Fly misses the point of those two services on the spectrum of service levels.
I always thought that Kanban is a tool and SCRUM is a method.
It's more contextual than that.

In some cases, ship vs not ship, profit vs not profit, is the difference between a company thriving and failing to thrive.

In others, there are second- or third-order effects that render marginal profitability kind of irrelevant to the trajectory. This usually applies to either very large / institutional orgs, or situations where the business is leveraged by investors (VC or PE) such that the kind of honest profit earned by shipping an update or a new product won't meaningfully impact on the company's fate. In those situations, doing good engineering and cleaning up tech debt might make more difference to yours and your colleagues' lives, and maybe even your customers', than shipping.
So much this. It's a perfect match for React. Let's you keep data/logic out of the components, 0 boilerplate, optimized renders (similar to what react compiler will do...).

You can even use tanstack-query to get all/most of its benefits. (by using its core package instead of react-query)

>on a business you need predictibility, and even more than that: predictibility across teams, for which sprint is better at.

It isnt. Not really. It gives the illusion of predictability.

Businesses do crave predictability but when a problem space is naturally chaotic it's unrealistic to assume that you're going to get it just by switching development methodologies.

Yes, but also it let's you figure you are off track early in the project. Too many people let themselves be fooled into thinking that "we went off the rails for a few weeks but we're back on track now" without some kind of process to force you to acknowledge the problem.
