Ive mainly work at startups and as a consultant/sub-contractor and have encountered many implementations of agile and waterfall. One place I consult for, and this is not a defense of agile just an observation of some good in what this shop is trying to do, well this place handles sprints as "multi-week" (defined by the team up front, weighing factors like; are we blocked by client, complexity, etc). The projects are still more or less waterfall with a client deadline at the end (They are mostly fixed scope/budget after all), and the only sprint deadlines are periodic client demos that have no expectations (progress check ins, see what we did, yay). The teams here only seem stressed in the old sense, right before the end. They often joke and call it agilefall, with the agile part intended to force teams to share progress and collect progressive feedback. As well as hold other internal meetings like sprint plannings (really just team checkins, are we blocked? should we start this vs that, have we learned something, etc) and retros (also just checkins, how we feeling? are people butting heads, etc). My biggest gripe with them is that no one takes responsibility for any form of ticket management and it can be chaotic knowing who is actually doing what day to day, requiring too many stand-ups and slack messages. They try to map tickets to scope up front but no one moves them along and they usually just follow the estimate document... since all the subs are global and remote it would be awesome to just check a board each day and dive into work instead of everyone needing and hour at the ass crack of dawn, during dinner, or at bed time, their local time...

Again, not saying this is my recommendation, but its definitely not some feature-mill, even tho we are literally a feature-mill as a fixed scope/fixes budget consulting shop, lol... not the most interesting work, but pays well, low stress, and if I heads down and get it done, I get tons of free time to do my own thing.
I don't quite understand what you're trying to express. The function of Khan Academy was taken down several years ago. However, some traces can still be found online.
It's the largest one with traction so far! It currently has over 300 stars on Github, meaning it's the largest package that I believe people care about right now
Exactly this. Thank you.

In around the year 2000, for career day I went to work with my uncle. He worked in IT for General Mills. Their office was very much a stereotypical poorly lit IT cave in the basement.

All their computers were a constant barrage of custom pop culture sound effects for every action. Minimize a window and a computer would emit like a "Ooh baby" clip for instance. Place had the tone of a morning radio show. Seemingly every action you could attach a sound effect to, they had. It would drive me insane trying to work like that.

Tech culture is very different from what it once was.
Anthropic publishes quite a lot too though.

I haven't measured yet but my guess would be that on current devices 99% of the CSS size saving matters for making the transfer of the CSS faster over the network (and that the speed up in constructing the CSS Object Model is negligible).

Happy to learn otherwise though!
Thanks for finding this, I will fix it ASAP!
Disclaimer: My view is based on D&D 3Ed.

I think that the the game culture have changed into something where the DM (dungeon master) is just a enforcer of rules/npc builder. Most of the arguments in the text should be discretionary to the DM. If a DM chooses to enforce a "medieval" setting, the campaign will be medieval. "Knights mentioned", "any time select a land", well, I guess the DM can mention knights and not treat land as something that can be bought as long as you have money. It was very different playing a campaign in Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance or Greyhawk, or having a custom world built by a DM.

I'm curious, are you a solo dev, or do you work on a team where multiple people are working on different features at the same time?
if you're an engineer, The $50 is a pittance. your time is the much bigger investment.

But lets put it in concrete terms. lets say you want to break into machine learning and deep learning but you lack the requisite math background.

if you start at foundations 1, if you put in around 8-9 hours a week of work into it, you can get to the end of math for machine learning after a year and a half. lets be cynical and say 2. At 50 usd x 24 months, you're looking at a cost of $1200 usd. Even the cheapest community college set of courses you'll be taking to get to that level will cost you more than that AND will require a ongoing time commitment where you show up at the classes. While its nice to have a class, Mathacademy is much more efficient for getting the information into your brain. You have the problem set in front of you and you see imediatly if you get it right or not. the time window for correcting yourself from feedback is tighter than you're ever going to get from a classroom where your graded problem sets come back days later.

AS for return on investment, Just look up how much machine learning engineers make. coding is the easy part. Having the mathematical maturity to understand why certain things are used where they are and kwowing enough to deviate where they don't work is PRICELESS.
No, it rolled right out of my brain, I couldn't resist
>Lawyers finding problems and trying to stop things from happening instead of finding solutions.

Sounds like they're doing their jobs, which is to protect your future selves from your current selves. Sure, finding solutions is great, but faulting them from finding problems and slowing things down until solutions are found is odd.

Yes, security or IT does sometime have to act as a reality check in an organization that has over-hired over-zealous but under-experienced go-getters who want to "move fast and break things". They are a vital counterweight that makes ambition productive, instead of allowing it to wreck the organization's reputation.
D&D is as medieval as Hollywood movies set in the middle ages are "medieval": the environment vaguely resonates with a middle-ages setting, but then you have high fantasy, epic kind of stuff (like kings fighting each other directly or pep-talking their soldiers to victory, football-locker style) that wasn't really a thing in the middle ages. That you don't have vassals and king is an implementation detail: you can totally play a game of D&D with vassals and kings, if you want. The real difference is overall "epicness", which is obtained at the rules level: if you are level 10, there's no way one (or ten) level 1 opponents can even touch you. This allows a storyline in which a small party of heroes can overthrow tyrants and slay dragons; in real life (especially in the middle ages) no matter how trained you are, a makeshift mace made of wood and nails swung by angry peasants can still end you quickly, especially if you wander alone, which means you can't get away from needing an army, a society, strategy, politics, etc.
> and testing is given lip service.

It's one reason I'm really thankful to work in a certified/regulated industry. It's mandated to effectively prove your work to get the sign off. And since you can't really sell too well in the area without that cert, it's a big part of development.

But holy hell is it still hard to get specific people to test their work. They just don't even think about it.
Thinking this could be useful in a multi tenants service where you need to fairly allocate job processing capacity across tenants to a number of background workers (like data export api requests, encoding requests etc.)

Great point hansoolo,

The original Conan story is set in the 4th century, but the earliest stories date from the 12th century. He settled Brittany/Armorica whilst fighting for the usurper Emporer Magnus Maximus. His name seems to relate to Conan the Barbarian (cutting down the men and cutting out the tongues of women) and Meriadoc Brandybuck the hobbit who swore to the House of Rohan. The House of Rohan were the Breton rulers who claimed descent from Conan. A coincidence?

There are details about the Monero analysis, it is written on the report they lost track of the money when it got sent to a monero wallet.

How it was guessed:
"KRP claims that by employing heuristic analysis involving educated guesses based on patterns and probabilities, they could infer the most likely path of the funds.

The small amount, together with other funds, possibly from victim payments, was sent to a second Bitcoin address linked to the same email address, which was later found to be linked to an email server managed by Kivimäki."

There isn't much magic here. In a small country is fairly easy to spot anomalies across bank accounts. That's it.
I played a little informally in the 80s. Even young me knew it never seemed to be a realistic portrait of the past world, or claimed to be. Way too many dragons compared to the historical record.

the monster manual seemed to be a mash up of monster from all over the place, including Greek myths.

Some of the weaponry was midevil but it didn’t seem like it was at all realistic. Like many fantasy books. Not like some of the war games of the time that where more historical (axis and allies and diplomacy)

Honestly if it was midevil, would it be fun? Who wants to play a game where you’re just farming. That would be such a grind and never be popular.
Looks like .net Linq. Many js projects use lodash and variants, how do you compare that?
D&D is theme park based mostly on modern-day USA with some Wild West influences. It's very obvious for people from Europe playing it :)

The biggest thing is that in D&D most of population lives in towns & cities, and there are very few if any villages. I'm not sure Americans even understand the difference between a village and countryside.

When D&D has people living in the countryside it's often American-style single-family farms in the middle of nowhere. That wasn't a thing.

For actual medieval theme every small town should be surrounded by dozens of small villages with lots of people living in close proximity farming lots of small fields, and where one village ends - another starts.

Most places shouldn't have enough people to sustain full-time inns and shops. Weekly or monthly markets were done instead so that the same traders could be reused between many places.

The way D&D worlds are usually structured could only work if everybody has a magic car and food is abundant.

>>> He said, let's treat Star Trek like a Shakespeare play. If multiple actors can play Hamlet, why can't there be multiple interpretations of Kirk?

Assuming he really said that... it's really irksome that he took a scenario where the classic Shakespeare plays are interpreted by different actors while still using the original scripts, and claimed he would be doing something similar if hired to write his own star trek scripts.

It's pretentious B.S. to make the Hamlet comparison when what he's proposing is closer to how they make James Bond flicks.
I'm going to interject my own experiences and note that some legal advice seems excessively risk averse and honestly just defaults to "no" and lazy. I suspect that's what the OP might have been referencing.

I know we're generally concerned with the folks playing fast and loose with the rules here, and that's 100% true, but. I find in big orgs sometimes it's far more on the other end of the spectrum.
If you buy solar credits from KC to use in Seattle, you've increased the solar generation in KC without affecting demand in KC. This will idle one plant's worth of fossil generation in KC. In Seattle, you're buying one plant's worth of additional power. In Seattle excess demand is generally met by buying Hydro from BC, but let's assume worst case and it spins up previously-idle fossil.

So in KC you're +1 solar, -1 fossil. In Seattle you're +1 fossil. Net: +1 solar.

.. or a 6502 microprocessor doing 16-bit arithmetic with an 8-bit ALU. The 6502 was designed by a team who used to work with the big endian 6800, and chose little endian for their 6502 for a slight performance improvement.

Can I have some of those sorts of interns?
I've heard a lot of push back against all kinds of process on this forum, and it always surprises me.

But reading the article made something click: it is not about the specific process, the (lack of) autonomy is what really matters. I guess I got lucky to work a lot in teams where we largely controlled our own process, so even if we used bits and pieces of scrum, kanban or other methodologies, it was always of our collective choosing and when it didn't work, we changed it.

I did like to have rules, principles and process. A simple playbook for a daily meeting that made us not forget important things and sped up the meeting. Making things in small increments meant that I didn't have to review thousands of lines of code. Having a visual overview of work neatly spelled out means I don't have to re-think every time I pick up a new item to work on. This also prevents useless work because one of your teammates decides to work on the same thing as you without telling it. All these things make me happier and more productive working together on some big thing.

The key is that the team should be in control of the process, not some manager who isn't part of the team and affected by the process. You need to have a stake in it. The only other factor that undermines this is 'process for the sake of process'. Every part of the process needs to earn the inevitable cost its implementation is bringing. Some people seem to be happy paying the pricing without getting the value.
> Replace "youtube videos" with whatever the company is trying to achieve.

Some counterpoints:

- Xerox knowingly didn't fix the problematic gear trains to guarantee periodic part changes, prioritizing money over "best copier possible".

- Ford didn't fix Pinto's fuel tank, prioritizing cost minimization over "best possible car in its class".

- Microsoft is did tons of shady things in its OS development history to prioritize domination over "best OS possible", sometimes actively degrading the good features and parts of its OS.

- Dyson's some batteries are notorious for killing themselves via firmware on slight cell imbalance instead of doing self-balancing. Dyson prioritize "steady income via killing good parts early" instead of "building the best vacuum possible".

- Many more electronic and electromechanical systems are engineered with short lives to prioritize "minimizing costs and maximizing profit" over "building the best X possible".

- Lastly, Boeing's doing all kinds of shady stuff (MCAS, doors, build quality, etc.) since they prioritize "maximize shareholder value" over "building the best planes possible".

- ...and there's Intel, but I think the idea is clear here.

It does, but then you get to look down on others, much like vegans and EV drivers, so it's worth it.

I kid, of course, but there is some truth in there, I do feel good about my own privacy focus, the sense of control, etc.

Anyway, greetings from the moral high ground, it's nice up here.

can a query like that be observable? so updating the array/object would cause the results to update?
> Just a question of the degree of nastiness?

Just a question of degree of nastiness? Yes, competitions involving life and death are qualitatively different from competitions involving money. Something interesting to think about is that we do have ultra graphic action movies and horror movies. Are those also net negative?

> Personally, I think human behaviour is massively influenced by culture and that we have an individual moral responsibility to take actions that work in favour of having a healthy culture.

There is no human culture that I know of that was not fascinated by things like money and fame.

> I see arguments often made that amount to justifying amoral, or even actively immoral

I don't think Mr Beast is immoral and not for the reasons you state. I think you have in your mind some very judgemental ideas of what is right and wrong.

I think shows like Mr Beast and all celebrity culture is dumb. I think sports are dumb too. I don't think they are evil and I know that humanity will find a way to create variants of these things no matter what kind of insane rules society tried to put in place.
That was my first thought as well. However, in a lot of real world cases, what matters is not the frequency of requests, but the duration of the jobs. For instance, one client might request a job that takes minutes or hours to complete, while another may only have requests that take a couple of seconds to complete. I don't think this library handles such cases.

If the person would have made 2~3 payments to his account with different values or waited a year, binance records wouldn't look so suspicious. In fact, why the heck was that dumb guy even using binance to begin with.

Anyways, you can pay toilet paper with monero quite OK. Just convert some value into a government-approved currency like bitcoin or BNB and buy stuff with a mastercard at grocery stores.

Rejoice! The excellent which-key package that does this comes bundled with Emacs 30! (Emacs 30 will probably be released soon.)

> enter command… default UX is a bit weak

Agreed: the packages Helm, Ivy, and Vertico make this interface much nicer. I use Vertico [1] personally. Though, from Emacs 29, there are some really nice options you can set. I used the following in my Bedrock starter kit [2] to get nicer tab-completion: as soon as you hit TAB twice you'll get bumped into the Completion buffer to select something with your cursor.

Here's the relevant config:

(setopt completion-auto-help 'always) ; Open completion always; `lazy' another option
(setopt completions-max-height 20) ; This is arbitrary
(setopt completions-detailed t)
(setopt completions-format 'one-column)
(setopt completions-group t)
(setopt completion-auto-select 'second-tab) ; Much more eager
;(setopt completion-auto-select t) ; See `C-h v completion-auto-select' for more possible values

There's more configuration options, of course, but this is helpful:

ACE 8. I was often hungry and cold. and sometimes homeless. I was poor in an area stricken with poverty (appalachia). I lived in a home that didn’t have half of an exterior wall, and we only had a kerosene heater. Often, there was no electric. We originally didn’t have plumbing except for an outhouse (luckily a federal program forced a corrupt contractor to tack on a shoddy bathroom to the house). No birthday or christmas presents.

School was terror. I had one outfit and shoes without bottoms. A gang of boys would wait outside for me everyday until evening. I’d hide in the woods until the path was clear. Teachers would assult me. The principal put me in the hospital. The police would harrass us. The police arrested my brother for skipping school, and he ended up in juvenile detention for a year.

Sexual abuse, mental abuse, physical abuse. It felt constant. My peers fared worse surprisingly. 20 friends dead before I was 24 (including two best friends and three girlfriends. Health problems, violence, suicide, drug overdoses, accidents.

I effectively moved out at 14. I exchanged sex with older women for room and board. I continued my schooling though.

I really lucked out honestly. Getting into the gifted program was by far the most important thing that could have happened to me. I somehow made it to undergrad. A friend turned me on to computer science when I was a junior. I spent my life savings on my first computer. I had terrible study skills and only graduated because I could derive stuff from first principles.

My first job had me in a cubicle with my face to the wall. Because of previous trauma, I involuntarily jump when people come behind me. So, the job was stressful. I fired up a spreadsheet and figured I could retire early if I kept increasing my wages and reducing my expenses.

I was never good at programming, but I was great at innovation and execution. I eventually got a role director of a consulting company in 2009, and I was making $150k. I felt like a badass. But, it’s been downhill from there. I have a problem with burning bridges.

I’m late 40s now. I ‘retired’ during the pandemic. I’ve really struggled since then. I have little direction and self-medicate most days. I’m suicidal most days, but I keep going because I feel I owe it to all the friends I’ve lost.

I doubt anyone will read this, but if you do, thanks for listening.
No, I never said that an LLM would always say "Paris". I said that Paris is the actual correct answer. I don't give LLMs that kind of credit; I'm not sure what I said that made you think that I do.
You can just talk to them. No need to set a ritual around it. Most professionals know about expectations and the team’s need to deliver.
