A model that has worked well for my teams is to track story/development state and deployment state separately.

They are fundamentally different things, and you cannot always infer one from the other.

- "Accepted" is the final state. Deployed to prod and verified. Story is finished and can be hidden from active view.

- "Delivered" is set by QA when they believe the changes are complete and correct, ready for deployment.

- "Finished" is set by the developer when they finish, push, and create the PR.

Then we use labels for deployment state. E.g. @staging, @sandbox, @production, etc.

It happens sometimes that a Finished story is deployed to staging in integration build X, but then omitted from integration build X+1, for reasons unrelated to the quality of the changes. In this case the story stays Finished (or Delivered) and we set the @staging label when deploying X to staging, but clear it when deploying X+1.

This works really well, especially after writing some glue code to integrate Pivotal and GitHub and your build/deploy flows.

You could easily enclose this by some architectural feature on the interior of the building or even use a window that's off the back of a maintenance closet.

I started watching the video linked at the top and the first anecdote is about Elon Musk using first principles to determine he could be rockets cheaper than current companies. He compared $130m to the price of raw materials of a rocket at $2m. But isn’t that comparing apples to oranges? And the exact thing that would get you in trouble when doing back-of-the-napkin estimates. That is, $130m is how much rocket companies at the time were _charging_ NASA for rockets, not how much it actual cost those companies to build.

That's fine. Most people never advance beyond "Senior" (by title or objective scope).

Let's say a Senior is someone who's shown they can work effectively as part of a team, reliably and with little/no direction. You need part X of a system done, X is reasonable enough goal, and they will make X happen, including collaborating with interdependencies in a wise way. And they can go home at the end of the day, and have a life.

I'm "Principal" (and aspiring startup-CTO), and in my version of that, I live for this, I invest in the big and small pictures of whatever I'm working on, I believe in the mission for real, I have earned battle scars that help me solve system/org problems, and avert many bigger problems.

If a process isn't working well, or a product isn't on the right track, or team members aren't happy, or the hiring or culture are going sour, or things that should be happening aren't happening, or things that shouldn't be happening are, anywhere in the company... hopefully I'll notice, or someone will trust they can tell me about it, and I'll help figure who and how to tackle it with, and apply all the energy required. It would bother me not to.

I'd implicitly take on that scope of responsibility, even if I didn't officially have that role. Most people don't want that much responsibility, and most shouldn't have to.

Senior is a perfectly respectable role to serve until retirement, and a key part of what most orgs need to execute successfully. (Don't believe the bro myths popularized in some companies, like up-or-out.)

> If the "Western" world gets economically steamrolled by Asia in the next couple of decades, we've got nobody to blame for it but ourselves.

Implicit in that statement is that only the "Western world" has that "short erm shareholder value" ethos. I'd say that is quite debatable.

I guess it is just a typo, but Songs from a Room is from 1969. For me his first three albums: Songs of Leonard Cohen, Songs from a Room, and Songs of Love and Hate made a kind of trilogy. I've always loved these ones, while his other albums more grown on me over time.

In the USA, if somebody wants you dead, they'll just shoot you. Or put a bomb in your car.

Going through the effort of compromising a supply chain and creating fake devices with explosives is way too much work. You're a very soft target. Getting to you is easy.

Israel used such a complicated way to get at its enemies because their targets are harder. They are militants at war. It's get to get physically close to them, and they are on the lookout for assassination attempts.

If for some reason they felt compelled to get at you through your device that way, it wouldn't be a phone. Those are too densely packed to put explosives inside and still function as you expect. They can't get to your specific phone before it's sold to you.

But if you're worried about all the ways somebody could kill you, you're completely out of luck. If somebody really wanted you dead, you'd be dead.
There was a recent article about hallelujah.

https://subtledigressions.substack.com/p/hallelujah-leonard-...
Nice. For all the HN positivity about the book it was a bit of a mess honestly. It needed a publisher and guidance from experienced writers. The self published version I read even had numerous typos and was extremely unedited. I do give the book a lot of points for originality but structurally it was a mess. It literally had an interlude midway through. I’m all for unusual story structure but in this case it was a mess and went really off the rails at that point.

If the core idea can come through without the raw structural problems I’m looking forward to it. As it stands I personally do not recommend the book. There’s a lot of good books out there. Currently loving the Murderbot diaries for some unusual sci fi themed stories. Will look forward to this post editing.
I think the point was that you aren't being "charged" with using Tor, you are being charged with buying drugs online. You have Tor installed and unfortunately a very small percentage of people have Tor installed. That might be enough to convince a jury, or be enough pressure for you to plead down to a lower crime to reduce that risk.
Not necessarily true - it's a lot easier to workout when you're actively losing weight. Obese people aren't stupid, they've tried working out before. Turns out it's hard, it hurts, and the benefit you get from working out in relation to weight is slim to none. If they're on the right track already and their mind a little clearer, I'm sure it makes it more likely for them to work out.

It's also easier to workout if you don't drink and smoke, which Ozempic also helps with.
You've misunderstood that comment. I blame message boards. I'm comfortable with what that thread says.

I'm not going to litigate my political beliefs with you here, because I don't think it'll work. But I'll tell you what: if you want to know more about what I actually believe, please feel free to email me and ask. My only warning to you is that my beliefs are a lot more boring than you might think they are.

I don't have any beef with you. For what it's worth: I didn't mean anything personal by the X-Men thing. I don't know who you are or really anything about you. If that read personally snarky, I get it, and will try to be more careful.
> Leonard Cohen is one of those artists where I tend to much prefer someone else's version of his songs than I do his songs.

I disagree. I’m with whoever it was who said “No one can sing a Leonard Cohen song like Leonard Cohen can’t.” Especially the older and more gravelly he got.

I did enjoy his duet with Sharon Robinson on “Boogie Street”, though.
There Is No Antimemetics Division is such a creative, page-turning, terrifying read and I'm glad it's getting the author some recognition from the big publishers. It's one of those books that keeps returning to my thoughts every so often and I can't wait to see the improved version next year!

I think I agree, but people will have very different views on where liability should fall, and whether there is a malicious / negligent / no-fault model?

Section 230? Is it the platform or the originating user that's liable?

Protection of personal data? Is there a standard of care beyond which liability lapses (e.g. a nation state supply chain attack exfiltrates encrypted data and keys are broken due to novel quantum attack)?

Minors viewing porn? Is it the parents, the ISP, the distributor, or the creator that's liable?

I'm not here to argue specific answers, just saying that everyone will agree liability would fix this, and few will agree on who should be liable for what.
I agree.

I'm often confused about the incoherent picture that paints Israel as having blatant disregard for civilian casualties while at the same time devises complicated and risky strategies to perform targeted strikes.
Don't people do that all the time? I doubt that even you check everything that you run thoroughly. There's a lot of trust we have put into all those tools.

Dettol has pine oil mainly for the scent; its main active ingredient is Chloroxylenol which is toxic to cats in addition to being disastrous for marine life.

Original pinesol is primarily sodium lauryl sulfate (soap found in everything) and pine oil for disinfecting… plus ethoxylated alcohols, which are safe for household use but unfortunately disastrous to marine life as exemplified by TFA. I think the real original formula did not contain these latter alcohols and I was unaware of them when I made my purchase.

I will probably recommend csprimer, this is hands down one of the best introductions that I found and I recommended to a lot of people who reached out to me. The order I will probably recommend is the following

1. Programming: Beyond the basics

2. Computer Systems

3. Operating Systems

4. Algorithms and Data Structures

5. Computer Networks

For discrete Math I sincerely recommend you to take a look at this book "Discrete Mathematics with Applications by Susanna Epp. This is an excellent book and it has good problems.

I will also recommend you to look at https://fa24.datastructur.es/ this is a very good beginner course on data structures that is completely free by UC Berkeley

Fascinating, thanks for taking the time to educate! Makes sense to me — it seems this tool is purpose built for situations where tracking is complex enough to deserve decoupling from annotating or interpreting, to put it in my own kindergarten terms.

I don’t have a need for this personally but I’ll definitely be bouncing this around in my head for a while, both technically (JS ALL the things!) and methodologically. Accounting is pretty trivial when you don’t have any income to track!

I did the same thing, implementing formulas we learned as interactive programs in TI-BASIC. I don't think I even tried to hide them or use them on tests or anything, but when I told my teacher at the time (2003-ish?) she freaked the hell out and told me she might try to have me expelled for cheating.

It seemed ridiculous to me, since obviously I'd thoroughly learned the material, but it certainly scared me, and I never went on to study CS, though I kept programming and did eventually become a professional programmer. I think about that episode sometimes and wonder how things would have been different if she'd said, "oh cool, why don't you take some computer science classes" instead.

Signatures in XML are nuts. So is all the mess built around RPC in XML, although IMO that’s not as bad as signatures.

But the problem with signatures has nothing to do with XML per se in my opinion. I could just as easily come up with a similarly poor signature scheme in HTML (snicker), nasty C structs with endian issues, MIME, or even plain English. Hah, someone should make a signature scheme meant to be verified by an LLM that parses it and calls out to a helper to do the actual math :)

Seriously, though, signing XML well is easy. Take some XML, serialize it to bytes, sign with libsodium, and transport the bytes of XML and the bytes of signature. But do not get cute and transport the signed XML as a subtree in another XML document: the bytes must bytes until the signature is verified. You could maybe get away with sticking it in another document as CDATA [0], but base64 would be better, since you basically can’t screw it up.

And it’s entirely possible to screw even this up JOSE-style if you lose track of what a “key” is. DO NOT have the signed (document, signature) tuple specify the signature algorithm or parameters. All of that is part of the public key, which the verifier (obviously) needs to acquire out of band.

[0] Someone may pwn, or at least massively confuse, you if you do this. Imagine what happens if the inner and outer documents have different character encodings.

Why? Maybe the market just isn't there for that many work management systems. Or maybe it's not a fun and exciting product to create, so a solo developer isn't as likely to pick it up.

Remember we're not talking about the general case here. We're specifically talking about the feasibility of seeing a specific product being shut down, and then building a clone of it on a small resource budget in an attempt to snatch up their soon-to-be-former customers.

I remember some things in colos that needed to periodically be restarted. That's definitely "recover" and not "repair."

I remember one company that would detect that one of its non-cloud-workers was getting overwhelmed, automatically remove it from the work pool, then re-insert it when it could breathe again. That's automated recovery.

The biggest difference in pre-cloud and pre-container was that the mechanisms to handle this were all bespoke.

That concept of velocity is in the original Extreme Programming practice, which predates Pivotal, and it was indeed done with racks of index cards.

It's explained pretty clearly in the first edition of Extreme Programming Explained, but i can't find a copy of that online right now. The second edition was absolutely ruined for some reason, but still contains a rough description of it:

> Whichever units you use, hours or points, you will need to deal with the situation where actual results don't match the plan. [...] If you are estimating in points, modify the budget for subsequent cycles. A simple way to do this, dubbed "yesterday's weather" by Martin Fowler, is to plan in any given week for exactly as much work as you actually accomplished in the previous week.

Tracker uses some kind of rolling average rather than just last week's number, but it's the same idea.
