Sure, comes from a prevailing view that estimating is bad. But it's only because estimating is treated like the answer, then we just go with that answer.

The best scrum teams I've worked with maintain a very important survival notion: We don't know the full minimum survivable solution today, but that's ok because we do know enough to get to tomorrow at least. We survived another day. Point is, estimating was never meant to be an answer. It was just meant to kick off discovery. And that's a great way to start because humans tend to be exceptionally good at quickly comparing things for difficulty and complexity. It's an instinctive survival skill.

Ultimately, well after estimating this scrum team will do an implementation (tasking) plan in hours if needed during sprint planning. They will compare that plan against their team capacity plan in hours. If the implementation plan blows out the cap plan by say, 30% then that's a warning sign and they'll tell the PO they need to drop a story for the upcoming sprint. If the cap plan compared against the imp plan shows a 30% surplus, then they will pull in a stretch story and bump their velocity, or won't tell the PO and maybe go play golf at the end of the sprint.

So the story pointing exercise just gets the team some data that helps them get to the next day (survival speak). There's still a lot of story refinement to be done, before they will tell their PO a story is ready to be pulled into one of their sprints.

When teams pull in stories to their sprint backlog, the team is committing to get that story done, so they need immediately actionable data on what's going on at every standup. If the burndown was done in points, the graph ends up looking like a straight line for days with sudden dropoffs toward the end of the sprint - that hides problems. So a sharp team will use task hours instead. Makes the plot a lot more actionable from day to day.

Here's a popular presentation I do on estimating, and why we tend to misunderstand its usefulness. "How to do estimating while being chased by a rhinoceros:" https://github.com/jamesksmithiii/Presentations/blob/main/Th...

This follows the same origin rules as cookies and caching, so it is not useful for tracking anymore than those already are.

As the when this is useful there are many examples:

* Map tiling (like OSM, mapbox, google maps, etc.) often have many repeated tokens/data but the tiles are served as individual requests

* Code splitting of CSS/JS, where they share a lot of the same tokens but you don't want to have to load the full bundle on every load since much of it wont be used

* Any site where the same terms and/or parts are recurring across multiple pages (for many sites like IMDB or similar I'd guess 80% of the HTML is non-unique per request)

This has been tried before with SDCH which unfortunately died, hopefully this goes better.

You're sort of right in that a B-tree is not a good data structure for logs given that append-only files are perfect for logs. But the point of using an RDBMS for logs is to be able to a) index the logs, b) provide a great search facility for logs. Perhaps a better design would be a virtual table plugin for SQLite3 that allows one to use log files as tables, then index and search them with SQLite3, but if one lacks the time to investigate that approach then oe can't be faulted for using SQLite3 directly.

If you want to find sane function naming, PHP is only going to disappoint you. I say that as someone who likes PHP, the old function names (and argument order) are… not great.

isset is like is_null but one thing isset can do is look at a whole chain (class props or associate array keys) and not blow up.

What I mean by that is you can do

$test = null;
isset($test->fake[‘doesNotExist’]->stilFake); // false

Whereas is_null would throw an error trying to walk a fake path. “isset” does essentially a try/catch-type thing around the check it’s doing.
This hit home hard:

> Imagine if you owned the Lakers or the Yankees, and put all the emphasis on the team brand—but kept reducing the pay to actual players. You might continue to sell tickets over the short and even medium term. But to survive over the long haul, you eventually need to support the team brand with commensurate talent at each position—and that talent needs to be nurtured and paid more than peanuts.

There was a time people paid for a cable connection and channels. You might pay extra for more channels, but that was about it. Then we all watched online via Netflix. Then HBo, Hulu, Skyshowtime, Disneyplus and AppleTV+ all came along and now we just shuffle through these subscriptions to see the stuff we want to see, but not whole year round. Most of the people I know will have a subscription for one or two month and then shuffle to the next.

If magazines where that easy, you just subscribe to a separate month or you just buy loose articles from past issues, they could still be making money.

I was curious about this given what happened with SDCH.

Here is what Wikipedia[0] says

> Due to the diffing results and the data being compressed with the same coding, SDCH dictionaries aged relatively quickly and compression density became quickly worse than with the usual non-dictionary compression such as GZip. This created extra effort in production to keep the dictionaries fresh and reduced its applicability. Modern dictionary coding such as Shared Brotli has a more effective solution for this that fixes the dictionary aging problem.

This new proposal uses Brotli.

I used to think I would work until I died or was unable to work.

I now realize that it would be nice to retire, so that I can work on the things that I want to (which in my case would be open source projects) instead of what my employer tells me to.

You could argue if I was self employed, I could do that now, but that would mean I have to worry about finding people to pay me for my work (as a contractor or freelancer) or running a business (as a founder). And I have zero interest in doing that.

The irony here is that Ted Gioia is at the very top of the power law distribution of writers' incomes: he makes a ton of money on Substack and is very vocal about it. He deserves it all, too, just to be clear.

However, most writers are way out on the long tail of the curve, making next to nothing. I subscribe free to 100's of them, but "upgrade to Paid"??? Nope, nope.

> Nowadays authors at that level would be on Substack, or some other similar platform. That’s because their name would be their personal brand, and they wouldn’t need a periodical—and certainly not a magazine in terminal decline.

They ARE on Substack, and a precious few are like you, Ted: making the big bucks.

I'd be willing to pay for an aggregate of 100 or so of them, where their output this week is omitted if they've got nothing. The catch is, I wouldn't pay huge money for that. This isn't going to bring back the days of Readers Digest and Esquire. There's just too much on the Web that's free to occupy my attention.

That’s a fascinating direction to explore. It turns out that translating instructions into AI/ML tasks and wrapping it with Python code is easy to build [0]. It starts with LLM decididing what type of task should be performed, then there’s a search over Hugging Face catalog, inference on a model (picked by heuristics) with Inference Endpoints and parsing the output to most relevant Python type [1]

It's a legal offer, they can't just turn their back on it. Though it could have consequences if the person wants to come back and claim refugee status again I guess.

But of course a lot of refugees are not really in danger but just try the refugee way for better economic opportunities. This amount is high enough to perhaps appeal to those. I think the main reason it wasn't popular is that the amount was negligible.

I think overall it's a good thing, it's voluntary and they free up spaces for refugees that are really in danger.

But after a couple of weeks it was addictive and I have never looked forward to going to work somewhere as much as I did while working there.

Please actually read what was said, your reply is incoherent. Where will the money for those ETFs or pure bonds come from? The reality is most people will and do spend their money living pay-to-pay, regardless of income bracket. They have no concept of savings or investments. So it is in the best interests of we, the people, to collectively put a little of everyone’s income into retirement accounts to lessen the burden on social services and improve their living conditions, which is fucking obvious. Not to mention you couldn’t actually read the very blatant statement I made about the government NOT controlling the account, and thus not becoming a piggy bank for elites.

Finally, what countries specifically don’t take income tax, but instead take a cut of income and put it into a non-government backed retirement account associated specifically to that person?

I can just imagine the drama. I know from experience in STEM circles at uni, the gender imbalance caused a lot of drama. The relatively few girls would basically be kingmakers, crowning the couple of guys who were handsome enough. That caused a lot of drama because as you can imagine, each girl had a whole entourage of guys all of which were secretly in love with her. We were of the exact same age as the people serving on this sub.

I can just imagine that drama but 200 feet under the sea.
The problem in Europe is that many migrants try the refugee process though they're not in danger. They often throw away their documents so it's really hard to figure out where they're really from and it costs the states lots of money. At the same time they're taking places of real refugees.
> Even the most blatant lies, even all of fiction writing, they're all incorrect or fabricated only at the surface level - the whole thing, accounting for the utterance, what it is about, the meanings, the words, the grammar - is strongly correlated with truth and reality.

I would reject this pretty firmly. As you said, people write whole novels about imagined worlds and people about magic or technology or whatever that doesn't or can't exist. The LLM may understand what words mean and "know" how to string them together into a meaningful and grammatical sentence, but that's entirely different than a truthful sentence.

Truth requires some mechanism of fact finding, or chains of evidence, or admitting when those chains don't exist. LLMs have nothing like that.

I actually only use sync.Pool to allocate large chunks at a time, so the cost of sync.Pool calls is minimal. The main benefit comes from allocating (and freeing) the big chunk instead of individual structs, without having to worry about object lifetimes.

Correction: no, looks like I do indeed call it each time. Well, it's still more efficient I guess :))

One's idea of "time-poverty" is another's idea of "doing things with a higher purpose".

We live in a world where we simultaneously (a) can do basically anything with a glass rectangle in our pockets and (b) do not stop feeling a sense of boredom and dread. Re-learning how to do some things that take time and do not satisfy our immediate sense of gratification would be a good thing.
Do people really enjoy this industry that much? I get the feeling we have a lot of outspoken people who write a lot but almost everyone I’ve ever met is trying to get the fuck out. They want to get their payday and FIRE. They’re not interested in staying if they have the financial means to leave. Part of the distaste for the job and industry is what I think fuels the FIRE movement being so full of tech workers. If you’re in medicine or law or finance, you can do the same but you never hear of FIRE anywhere near the same level in those industries.

probably I should just drop it but

>Are you really trying to learn something here?

sure, which is why when user "duped" said

>>In a very loose way you're talking about structured vs unstructured parallelism

I replied

>>That said I have trouble finding resources on structured and unstructured parallel processes, google just wants to tell me about structured and unstructured data, do you have some links?

As I assumed the structured and unstructured was referring to parallel processes - I can find "Structured vs Unstructured concurrency" but that of course goes back to the top level discussion that concurrency and parallelism are not exactly the same.

>what you are looking for doesn't exist.

OK, because someone other than you, unless you are using two accounts somewhat suggested that it did exist. That being the user named "duped" that I was replying to and whose terms I used in my question. If you are "duped" (short for duplicated?) then why did you imply these concepts did exist in your earlier message?

>Parallelism (in CS or outside of it) doesn't mean things start and end at the same time just that they happen in PARALLEL.

Sorry, but the definition of Parallel "outside" of CS - when dealing with time - is "occurring or existing at the same time or in a similar way; corresponding."

>That's really not such a difficult concept to grasp but you need to have some humility to just say: oops, I might have a wrong understanding and might need to fix it. This is healthy and make people smarter.

OK, but I am pretty used to standard English usage and my understanding is that vernacular usage of parallel - when referring to time - is that they start and end at the same time (which is also how I would define "happens at the same time", evidently you have a different definition of that though), whether or not your or my definition is right it seems to me that my definition lines up with the Oxford Language dictionary definition I quoted above.

However given that two lines can be parallel even if they do not have the same length perhaps I am too literal in my time parallel usage - though every usage for time parallel I have ever seen seems to imply running over the same time-span is the meaning.

on edit: changed distance to length as distance is meaningful in relation to parallel lines.
where are the parent's? They're meant to be the ones teaching these non-academic education to their children.

School does not replace parenting. School is for academic studies - stuff that a parent won't have had the qualifications to teach.

This is rigid thinking. We should be adapting schools to the need of the 21st century and challenges our current population faces, rather than have people sink or swim.

Leaving it to parenting alone is basically sink or swim. Some do great. Some do shit. Some are middling. Never mind the fact that a large part of children time are spent in school. Schools are basically daycare. They're also 'raising' children whether we want to admit it or not.

That's pretty much the hard part. There will still be some needs for some academics classes. However, once you teach them how to learn, learning academics is easy to do.
