You might not be able to control the behavior of the driver behind you, but you can certainly influence it. When there's someone close behind me and I know I'm approaching a situation that might require me to make a sudden stop, I often hold the brakes just enough to trigger the brake lights. This lets the person behind know to back off, or at least be ready.

I'm curious if Waymo does any sort of warning brake lights like that if chance of panic braking > 15% or something.

> We as people pick the winners with our money, we don't really want nice things.

What was the price(s) of that start up and what was the prices of Salesforce? What were the features of the start up and that of Salesforce?

Different people think different things are "nice" (correctly or incorrectly). If you're offering things that you think are nice, but the customer does not care about, are you surprised that they go elsewhere?

You also have to understand what customers say they want, and the things that they are actually going to evaluate on: the two may not be the same.

And even if we want the nice things, we may not actually be able to afford them.
Interesting, could set the "bad" response codes to be in a minor keys and and "good" as major and feed that into a generative player. Listen to the stream and if it starts sounding moody and broody, check monitoring.
> Lot of people critiquing this, but you can't deny the success.

Presumably the issue is not the result but rather the means and cost. The practice of justifying the means with the ends is famously behavior most people try to avoid sharing a society with and, in fact, behavior people generally try to end once discovering.

EDIT: To be sure, employees could be quite happy there and there's little negativity to discuss—but the tone in the above post raised concerns.

There's no accounting for taste, but no. No no no. This is Halloween costume bad. Just came from ComicCon bad. Google glass bad. And people are going to assume they are being recorded.
Yes! I play a “bonk” sound when a command in my terminal fails. Helps me break out of autopilot up-enter-up-enter loops that I can do accidentally. I wrote a blog post about it a while back: https://cgamesplay.com/post/2020/12/09/iterm-notifications/
Same here. Just 10 years ago I had the displeasure of working on such a project. Months and months of upfront specification work. The UX was defined in full separately from the UI. All the DB models built in one go. Every Gantt cascade one could imagine. Horizontal slice by horizontal slice. The system was to be fully integrated at the very end, followed by a few weeks of QA.

Naturally nothing worked and everything was late.
cssnano has had some complicated ownership turnover[0], I'm glad to see someone took the mantle again though.

I do find that CSSO[1] with structural optimizations can be more effective still, perhaps that will be less true overtime though.

I think once lightning CSS is more stable (in particular, some bugs are addressed around ordering) it will be the clear winner in this space though.

Tolkien has specifically stated that the Dead Marshes were inspired by the appearance of Northern France after the battle of the Somme. And that Sam is a reflection of the privates and batman he served with. That said, he explicitly denies that WW1 or WW2 had any influence on the actual plot.

I don't know how much you want to take the Tolkien's word for it (death of the author and all that) but there it is.
It is more important in a public benefit corp, if there is supposed to be something different about them.
Well I think that comes from top-down micro-managing organizations that just want to call themselves "scrum". They want to do what they want to do and will dress it up in whatever language is buzzword compliant.

A director of engineering flat-out told me that being self-organising wasn't part of our scrum because we couldn't guarantee that each team made the same decisions and we needed developers to be interchangeable between teams.
What you describe is from micro-managent of the development process. I have never met anyone qualified to micro-manage a software project, and never will.
Rich Hickey put it best.

“What kind of runner can run as fast as they possibly can from the very start of a race? Only someone who runs very short distances. But we’re programmers, we’re smarter than runners. We know how to fix that problem, we just fire the starting pistol every hundred yards, and call it a new sprint!”

one of the cases something like this is useful for is when you have user configured saved 'filters' - you can simply pass the stored object into the where clause. I agree if you're doing hard-coded queries on arrays of objects, this may not add a lot. That said, a consistent syntax for doing searches and mapping is useful - projects like lodash have that as part of their api too.

Pre-emptive multitasking is a tool that a solution might use, but it is not a solution on its own. If you have three users spawning one thread/process/task and one user spawning a million (literally, not figuratively), that one user can easily completely starve the three little users. Some of their million tasks may also be starved. But they'll get more done overall.

This whole problem gets way more complicated than our intuition generally can work with. The pathological distribution of the size of various workloads and the pathological distribution of the variety of resources that tasks can consume is not modeled well by our human brains, who really want to work with tasks that are essentially uniform. But they never are. A lot of systems end up punting, either to the OS which has to deal with this anyhow, or to letting programs do their own cooperative internal scheduling, which is what this library implements. In general "but what if I 'just'" solutions to this problem have undesirable pathological edge cases that seem like they "ought" to work, especially at the full generality of an operation system. See also the surprisingly difficult task of OOM-killing the "correct" process; the "well obviously you 'just'" algorithms don't work in the real world, for a very similar reason.

As computers have gotten larger, the pathological distributions have gotten worse. To be honest, if you're thinking of using "fair" it is likely you're better off working on the ability to scale resources instead. There's a niche for this sort of library, but it is constantly shrinking relative to the totality of computing tasks we want to perform (even though it is growing in absolute terms).
If I am running a command that runs long enough such that my attention will drift but short enough such that I can't start something else, I'll append `echo "\a"` or equivalent. It's nice to know when the command completes.

Loosely related, I am almost always running some white noise into my IEMs.
If you have the private key you can send money as you see fit.

The purpose of the puzzle is to find the private key given only 75% of it.

Let’s imagine that takes 1 year to brute force the last 25%. But if you have the public key as well, it only takes 1 minute.

As soon as the coins were sent, the private key was known since it inherently revealed the public key.
I don't know if RxJS has run out of fashion, but that would give you observable js using map/filter/reduce etc.
That's the "hot" period of the war. Before that there were several centuries long war of attrition between Dunedain, their allies and proxies of Sauron.

The capital city of Gondor, Osgiliath, was turned into ruins, front going straight through. And before that, the same thing happened to Minas Ithil. Those big towers next to Black Gate? Those were fortifications built by Gondor. But after Great Plague, which was probably a biological weapon of sorts, there weren't enough people to man them.

What we see in lotr, is essentially last days of war. When one side is barely clinging on, and can muster only localized offensives.

> these people should quietly enjoy their Agile, keep their heads down, and stop trying to evangelize Agile to people who don't have (or are getting rid of) either of the above two dynamics.

I disagree. I've seen more than my fair share of people signing on "big" IT contracts that promise nothing except specifications before Y+2 or Y+3, and these people need to see the light. To date, I have never seen any multi-year software project that doesn't start delivering early land softly. And whenever they crash, it's the teams that suffer.
See also the common sci-fi story such as Skylark of Space or Microcosmic God or The Stars my Destination. Those are oldies but goodies, in all of them the hero experiences major leveling in capability by pulling up on their bootstraps.

Newer literature is more sophisticated as the hero becomes more socially involved. It definitely happens in Pohl’s Heechee series and also Vinge’s The Peace War but you don’t see it in The Terraformers by Newitz as the characters are born into the post-human.

Commercially there is a lot to gain from ‘future histories’ but they have a way of blowing up: exponential leveling can be sometimes contained, as in Niven’s Known Space but such a system can be killed by any bad idea, and that one got two.
The article appears very strong, and true, and it is. Perhaps everyone with some flickering self-recognition will see themselves as the protagonist in the story.

I definitely went through this transition, no earlier than 30, but certainly before 40. I think most self-aware people do.

But the recognition usually comes at a stage of life when you literally have every responsibility: mortgage, spouse, kids, beholden to some Dilbert-boss, and carrying the world on your shoulders (not sarc - Atlas, please don't shrug).

You have no honorable options to escape. Every dimension of escape is betrayal. Don't believe me? Try it and see. Face it, own it, own everything. Wait, push harder, postpone deliverance.

The decline of the hope and expectation that work could provide fulfilment happens gradually, then suddenly (as Hemingway once said about bankruptcy). But as I retire, I still code, I always will. It gives me joy.

The temptation is then to tell all your younger successors about the valuable insight you've acquired. What you have learned is very very important. But it cannot be told, or taught, it has to be experienced - or not.

My advice to parents is to treat your children as ~20% older than they are. By the time they hit aggravated puberty, you are already talking to them as adults. They don't deserve it, but they will thank you later. And even if they don't, you have no regrets, you showed them the shining path, the parental star of piercing brightness.

Show, don't tell.

Just be the best you can be at every interaction point with the world. Whatever person or problem is in front of you right now - just be the best you can possibly be. Don't think about the future. If you inevitably fail, from time to time, as you will, learn from failure, train what you wish you could do, and be better next time.

Be the absolute best in the grave. What better accolade?

Show, don't tell. Forever.

Of course, I contradict my own advice. We are all unfathomably contradictory.

Yep and here we are in 2024 and just this last week I got into a heated discussion with an 'Technical' Program Manager raging about how the deliverables are slipping by three days mostly because he and his up chain are heavily invested in a schedule that is built on hope. Not only are the estimates bad, but the resourcing from the different silos has not happened either, so there is tons of unfinished work just on the work that is known, let alone the unknown unknowns!

Next up he's about to find out his integration timeline is complete and utter bullshit.

This reads more like tin foil hat than a joke.
I agree with part of what you say but not with the implication. Yes, Bitcoin Cash [0] is the Bitcoin that chose to scale on-chain. The split happened in 2017 and since then it has decreased in price both compared to BTC and USD.

What I strongly disagree with is that a Bitcoin with bigger blocks and hence larger transaction capacity is inherently less valuable. That is an unfair comparison because Bitcoin Cash, when the split happened in Aug 2017, could have been recognized as Bitcoin by the ecosystem, but it wasn't, and Bitcoin Core retained the BTC ticker. Because of that Bitcoin Cash had to start adoption from the beginning, losing Bitcoin's established network effects.

My original argument was that if Bitcoin had increased its blocksize before 2016 as Satoshi Nakamoto originally intended [1], then the Bitcoin Cash split wouldn't have happened, Bitcoin adoption would have continued growing (remember that back in the day big players like Microsoft, Dell, Steam and Newegg started accepting Bitcoin payments) and miners would progressively see more of their rewards coming from transaction fees and less from the block rewards.

This last point is one of the big problems with BTC right now: the network security will decrease in the face of dwindling block rewards unless transaction fees rise. I argue that Bitcoin was always supposed to scale in number of transactions, so the aggregate of transaction fees, even if individually inexpensive (roughly 1 cent), would become larger than the block reward. In other words: the block reward was just an economic incentive to kick-start the Bitcoin network, to attract miners that would secure it, but the transaction volume was meant to keep increasing to replace it.

>I see it all the time in large organizations, where different teams forget what the goal of the company is and instead get hyperfocused on their teams KPI's to the detriment of the company as a whole.

I thought it was well understood that this kind of misalignment is the cost of someone afraid to admit outloud what the goal is.

Mr. Beast, like Hollywood production companies before him, can say "don't forget, your job is lowest common denominator slop."

This is hacker news, so take a tech giant (doesn't matter which) and imagine what it would mean for leadership to tell the rank and file what their actual goals were. For starters it would be internally demoralizing, externally scandalous, and include mens rea for many of their legal "whoopsie daisies" over the years.

Can be useful for some APIs.

The use-case 4.2 with both Content-Location and Location feels weird to me. Not sure you would want multiple urls with different meanings. Isn't it harder to keep it idempotent if we are generating URLs for request and result? Not sure Location is generally meaningful in 200... that may impact other RFC.

Could be interesting to see a sample where query is created but result will be available later. That's probably just the 303 See Other with a Retry-After?

> Scandinavia

Which country exactly? Oil-rich Norway has about 5 million people and is basically a democratic Saudi Arabia. Sweden has more billionaires per capita than the USA - quite far from the egalitarian society socialists dream about. And they all have strong capitalist economies, with multinational corporations and such.

> China

China enjoyed unprecedented growth when they decided to allow capitalism and free markets. Conversely that growth slowed and problems starting to appear when scared of the entrepreneurs success, Xi decided to reign them in.

Other A/B tests abound: Venezuela, North Korea, Cuba, etc. My favorite is where I live, Eastern Europe. We were starving until we got rid of our socialist economies in the 90s and how we enjoy what is basically a luxury lifestyle: flights, cars, iPhones, city breaks and vacations in Greece.

> planet is burning

Do you think communist countries cared about the environment? They polluted even more. Read up on the Aral sea sometimes. Mao killed all the sparrows to such an extent they had to import new ones. Caring about nature is a luxury only rich people can afford. And only under capitalism people are allowed to create value and enrich themselves.
Ticketed, no. Hit by traffic which is all going 30 over, yes.
I wrote that for my company ~3 jobs ago, except instead of working only on static HTML, it would: for a small percentage of our traffic loop in the background processing a couple CSS selectors at a time, adding CSS selectors that matched to a bloom filter that would be occasionally POSTed back to the server. Then I'd parse through our logs, pulling out the bloom filters, and comparing them to our CSS rules to find unused rules. It wasn't perfect so it required manually checking before deleting CSS rules but it went a long way towards flagging potentially unused CSS rules.

If you are working in a place that lets your team pick the sprint length each time based on how long you think it should be for the work you're doing, that is absolutely not typical.

You seem to be either taking your anecdotal experience with what was called "scrum" and projecting it back onto the spec. Or, redefining "scrum" to be what you think it should be, not what it is. Incidentally, I find nearly everyone who defends scrum does the same thing. It's a continual No True Scotsman that gets to the point where "scrum" becomes meaningless. I actually blame the Scrum people for that because there's a ton of things that are guidelines rather than rules, although the ultimate decision is with the ScrumMaster or PM, so the level of flexibility of the Scrum implementation is dependent on the benevolence of this ScrumMaster®.

I worked as a consultant for several years and have been at many different startups, so I've experienced a lot of different flavors of Scrum, and the effectiveness varies widely. There are Scrum implementations that are authoritarian hell-holes where devs are just mice on wheels, and there are some that are pretty good. The problem is, both are still "scrum." So it's a lot like saying "monarchy is good" or "monarchy is bad." Well, it depends a lot on the monarch, but the system itself gives an enormous amount of control to one (or a few) people, and then it's up to that person to divvy out autonomy as they see fit. You might get a benevolent ruler who gives autonomy, but you might not, and both fall under the system.
hledger has tooling to transform fairly arbitrary CSV into transactions it understands[0]. I haven't tried it yet, but after spending 4 hours over multiple days helping my SaaS bookkeeping company troubleshoot their bank connection problems[1], you can better believe I'm willing to put a little time in trying this out.

Every damn time I reconcile transactions I end up fighting their system that I can't see the workings of or fix myself. It's getting to the point where the juice isn't worth the squeeze. I'd sooner deal with the CSV myself given a half-way decent set of tools to do so.
