Show HN: Austen – Discover Story Relationships
I have problem following characters and their relationships while reading books. So I created Austen while I was reading "Sense and Sensibility" by Jane Austen in order to figure out how are characters connected to each other.

Most of my longest lived and lowest maintenance things were frankenprojects and brazen hacks that somehow lasted years without me having to make any changes or fix anything.
Plus:

- Exploiting his employees to a degree that could be considered torture (Yes, we need to keep you awake in solitary confinement for the time-lapse video)

- Hiring Delaware a known Sex Offender, and not keeping him away from children.

> I think this should be obvious to anyone old enough to not think santa's real.

Some people assumed the story is real, and knowing it is fake lessens the impact of his contests and story arcs in his videos (Mac's trials hit different when you realize it's scripted).
Yeah I think about this a lot. How much unspoken personal trauma lurks beneath anger online. When someone is angry at something anything could be a root cause but it isnt appropriate for onlookers to speculate or authors to be too open about, so it passes unnoticed. I feel all that tends to be absorbed in a two-steps-removed way through sensationalist headlines and related screeds and we don't think about the origins. Of course I can only speculate if this is true so it is no wonder we don't. The old adage is "their anger is about them not you" but although I lean towards this explanation it sounds like a necessary assumption sometimes.

I saw a comment from a foster parent that said we would find a cure for cancer before we find a cure for childhood trauma.
Linux kernel 6.11 is out – with its own BSOD
It’s an excellent detail that the nothing timer resets if you scroll down to read the copy.
Does designing custom chips to meet specific needs amount to self-sabotage?

It appears to be a reasonable strategy, as seen with Apple's successful introduction of the M1 chip, which set them apart from other PC makers.
But it won't be as successful. We're talking about money. There is much more effort in building quality products than more of the same. For quality, you get 2x competition, rather than just a .. competition when building more of the same.
Have you had a crack at applying this approach to the effectively unforecastable - earthquakes, for example?
Is there support for rounding / chamfering edges?

I no longer use OpenSCAD because its annoyingly complicated to do for non-trivial shapes.
> I had a conversation with a young devTM who was arguing that estimating is hard and always inaccurate so we shouldn’t estimate.

Plenty of learned people have made defenses for having no estimates. If you want to make the opposite claim, you don't need to use a junior dev as a strawman.
I remember that as well, but I think scrum lost it's advantage once it was co-opted as a metrics and management tool, and by people looking to make a career out of "managing." That's the point at which it started shifting to being imposed on the team rather than offered as a tool to the team.
This article reads like: "D&D is not like this other game I imagined! Why?" It is a pedantic, tunnel-vision diatribe that focusses upon Gygax's casual use of the word "medievel". While not explicitly built into the D&D system, the author completely misses the point that D&D has considerable flexibility to allow for many of the "glaring" medievel flavor lacks they didacticly emphasize.
Finding the “cheapest” energy to do useless work, is still wasteful pollution.
I hope this comment is sarcastic. Nothing is more exhausting than having to hear people that have no clue about anything, i.e. managers, speak.
Definitely both imho. Tolkien’s own ww1 experience shines through. But then his sons served in ww2 and you can feel a lot of bilbos pain come through as Frodo has to take on the burden of fighting evil.

You can clearly see the pain at the end of return of the king where Frodo and Bilbo together just leave. They had both been through too much and are basically shell shocked.

It’s really hard to not view it as an allegory of the journey of two generations through ww1 and ww2 imho.
"They are fixed length events of one month or less to create consistency. A new Sprint starts immediately after the conclusion of the previous Sprint." - scrumguides.org

You also need to understand that "release" might mean behind a feature flag. Further, while continuous integration is not within the Scrum guide, it is a common practice in Scrum teams. Yes, there is a concept of a sprint goal, but the sprint goal may be a subset of the product goal. You may choose to group increments across sprint boundaries to present to customers independently of the end of the sprint.
I read an interesting take that the Free Market and Capitalism are natural enemies- in that, the ideal capitalist investment, one that makes tbe best returns, is in the creation of a monopoly, thus subverting the free market.

We can see that today that, given the USA has largely stopped externally enforcing anti-monopoly measures, that companies grow and grow in size in a very un-free-market way.
I think of creative work, and most human endeavors, as frames within frames. The inconsistency of something like D&D is easily avoided by stepping out of the frame, and thinking of it as a sui generis creation of Gygax, or stepping further in and thinking of it as a game mechanic that leads to an experience of fun.

But the geek habit is to stay inside the frame and obsess over how the premise should have been more explicit, the details more accurate, the rules more consistent. How does the tricorder work? What’s inside a Dalek?? Can you really clone a dinosaur using a chicken egg??? Let’s write a wiki page about our theories and then argue about it!
And charging you for the tokens?
If I don't explicitly control that condition, then I would say not.

Something like "./run-long-task.sh; say 'Task is done'" is fine.

An audible alert when an email arrives or a build fails is hell.
In a current PF2E game, my Cleric has a deity and I do RP him to stay in Ragathiel's favor. It's explicitly called out and I don't think it's dumb at all...

The weather is perfect right now, take advantage!

Also it's perfect most of our "winter", unlike many places where it snows / gets too cold.

No place other than California will have perfect weather all year, but then you live in California...

During the summer my wife and I run inside, or very early in the morning outside.
I feel like plain text accounting software is overkill for splitting vacation expenses. The Splitwise phone app is very good for this, and shares some of the responsibility.
read somewhere that a good gift is something the recipient needs, but would not buy for themselves.

We don't know people "on computers" that intimately. You don't know someone needs a shoe tree until you've entered their house and seen the scatter of boots on their porch.

Of course we may just evolve culturally in this regard, and give more random, less utilitarian gifts to express ourselves. People generally like swarms of things, right?
All of this AGI/singularity stuff is quite literally science fiction, so it can be whatever OP wants it to be.
Product management is hosting a party, not playing chess
My team works in an agile fashion. I simply stay out of their way and every week they finish what they promised to finish. The team is high-quality and hasn't missed targets or estimates. Most of our "ceremonies" are purely for socialization, as decided by the team.

But this is extremely fragile, because it takes a lot of energy to fight external people (often product people) who want to remove the self-management aspect.

Unless this is in the DNA of the company, you can't have agile or real Scrum, because it threatens those kinds of power-grabs. For this to work, you literally need someone threatening to fire people who attempt to micromanage others.
Money has always been the easiest gift to give, as it doesn't require actually figuring out what would delight the recipient. It's rarely the best gift you can give.

I don't think this is any more or less true now than in times past.
I've used the same sound effects for decades now.

In Windows, open the Sound control panel page (type Alt-R then enter mmsys.cpl is the easiest way to get there) and on the sounds page there's a list you can scroll to see all the program events you can define sounds for.

I use Visual Studio and play a Homer Simpson "Doh!" clip for build failed and a Fred Flintstone "Yabba dabba doo!" clip for build succeeded.
That’s fine. I prefer grimdark to cartoonish settings, even if both tend to be a bit camp. Warhammer is better than Warcraft as a setting.
Why do you think it's more prevalent in non-digitally-native companies? I've often wondered if it's because those companies are uncomfortable with software development in the first place, so it makes them feel better to have a finish date for the project.
In my country, Sweden, one of the most popular RPGs used to be Eon and that game i s much more medieval than DnD and it is very playable. I would argue more so than DnD, that that is subjective. And it was a very popular game so your guesses are wrong. There are also a whole bunch of the games which are semi successful which are more or less about medieval life, e.g. Pendragon. And then we have Warhammer Fantasy which is renaissance.

DnD is mostly just big in the US due to historical reasons.
oh yes, absolutely! I have a system that works well for me. But it's inherent to plain text files that they don't support attachments. It's plain text, after all.

They don't have to pay Windows licenses for games running through Proton, so they don't care about the distinction you're making. They care about games running well on Linux, that's it.
Worth noting that the comment you reply to calls out buying only "sold & shipped by Walmart" items, as opposed to those from other vendors like your case.
I was wondering where your previous comment was heading - I assumed you were referring to Yet Another Niche Cryptocoin, and that was confirmed. Thanks!
The Scrum Master is supposed to be part of the team, constantly helping with the Sprint, whether that's getting clarification for you, or pushing back on unrealistic expectations, or getting more resources, or whatever. Sprint was a bad choice of terms. It shouldn't have been related to races at all. If anything, it should be more like walking. It's about figuring out what pace is sustainable for your particular team, and sticking to that pace. Not driving anyone too hard, but delivering value (i.e. working software features and updates) at regular intervals. If a feature is too big to deliver in a single increment of time (Sprint), then it should be broken down into multiple features that build upon one another to eventually be the whole thing.

Some possible counterexamples:

- Amazon Wish Lists (or other similar constructs) have made it easier to buy a non-monetary gift for people, largely ensuring non-duplicate gifts that they actually want... assuming of course that you can persuade the person to put some ideas on such a list

- Lots more options for gift cards, which, while still in the same general boat as "money", can be at least somewhat more personal. You can now buy gift cards for places that maybe wouldn't have offered them before, and you can send "electronic gift cards" over email or text message or whatever. Getting someone a super-generic gift card like Amazon or Target might not be that much more interesting than giving just cash, but if you can get a gift card to their favorite coffee shop, or a gift card for some computer game service they like, or whatever, that might be more "appreciated".
U-haul is one of the shittiest experiences possible. Right there with calling comcast and going to the dmv. Compare that to truck rental from Lowe’s or Home Depot that’s actually probably more expensive but way more pleasant.

Only problem is that everyone else also has figured that out so hard to secure one.
They typically come physically in 8s as an SXM5 tray.

It takes more effort to virtualize SXM5 than individual PCIe cards, so you find availability in 8s in VMs too regardless of provider

The first example shows a GET request and states that it is "common and interoperable query". But that "if the query parameters extend to several kilobytes or more of data it may not be, because many implementations place limits on their size".

So how about simply removing those limits on GET requests?
The business has a need for a regular status update from everyone. You can call it a standup or not. You can call it not agile, but in the end the business has needs and you cannot ignore those needs.

The business needs to know when something will be done as they need to make promises to customers. The business also needs to know when things will be done as that is a proxy for cost - they need to make sure they are not spending more creating a thing than it will deliver (this is a hard problem as some sales will not happen until it is done and there is typically a competitor customers could go with). That is nearly impossible to say how long engineering will take doesn't mean we don't need to know how long it will take!

3. Hot shot VP in non-software company starts a small in-house software team that immediately has to manage multiple small/intermittent software projects where the product owners are half not paying attention / half don't care, and the team just wants them in the room at least once or twice a week.

Bit late and I posted essentially this same comment on their site in hopes they'll see it, but this article jumped out at me because a while ago I was thinking about what it would take to get a whole organism single cell atlas so that you could explore it on the computer. The only thing I can really think of is to take a CNC machine, put it in a big freezer, then scan one layer of the specimen with a microscope and whatever multispectral lighting/imaging you need, then mill away a layer and repeat. Pathology slides are prepared with stains to enhance the contrast of membranes and other features which is probably not an option in the frozen state, so that's a big hurdle, but maybe you can do it with some fancy multispectral imaging. And if you can't, maybe you can at least start with lower resolution structures like anatomy (though I think there's still contrast challenges for that). I know there are some single cell atlas efforts for parts of or whole brains for mice and maybe other organs, but like the author's dream idea of getting order thousands of specimens to study variation, it would be great dataset if you could capture everything in one go.
I wonder how caching will work when the body has the potential to be huge? You could hash it to save on RAM, but I imagine that would get "expensive" at scale.
If anyone doubts that waterfall was the dominant approach to development and project management, just go back to the tools of the times, like Microsoft Project. Gantt charts were the unquestioned way you managed a project.

It won't work. Good products don't survive.

If you look at the software industry, you'll notice that the software that generates income is the one that takes more than it gives. Whereas, the one that gives more either dying or is held by open-source devs.

You can also look at diets. If I give the population 3 things to eat for the next 6 months to be lean, they will go to those diets that ease them into it with supplements, and guides, and programs... It's the idea.
Not so sure, while I like Marques, he has a 100% focus on consumerism.
It's code for: "Your goal is to make this company the most MONEY possible"

Given the current landscape of crass hype beasts with all the peacocking vs the "follow your heart" microaggressions crowd it's easy to see those texts were written, but just like today's "tech company's" that "invent" things that existed for decades already, this is nothing new and it's a sign of a culture with very little oversight based on smoke and mirrors. Ironically this is exactly what the distilled core of "Corporate America" is and we all know what "results at all costs" lead to: See Wall Street, Boeing, etc.

Personally I never cared for the guy, it always looked tremendously fake and dishonest to me, to to each each own. IMO there is nothing new o special about this case, there are little dramas like these all over millions of organizations around the World.
I read about a company in the 1990s that did that. They went one step further - picking culturally appropriate colors, shapes, numbers, and then permuting the brand names to favorable variations for a country. My (probably wrong) 25 year old recollection was when they introduced subway in China they basically found a way to pronounce it that translated to "this place is delicious". I bet it was in Wired. If not that, probably New York Magazine.
Of course there's a range of transitional states between waterfall and [whatever miracle cure is in vogue today]. Like all historical revisionists, today's techies like to impugn the old and laud the new. ('How could they have been so clueless?')

Fact is, long-lived products, esp. from BigCorps, and esp. those in heavily regulated spaces like medicine and transportation always have and always will spend a lot more time and effort on design and process than will ephemeral products and services from startups. My software career started ca. 1990 just as waterfall was evolving into the 'Spiral' iterative software model, which since has been rebadged and remorphed several times into today's 'agile' and 'test-driven' gift from god. However in the real world, makers of every S/W product inevitably must adapt their actual development process to suit the lifecycle needs of their product and customer, in ways that scrum can't serve. Often the best way to reduce technical debt is to increase investment design and testing. And taken to NASA-like limits of fault-tolerance and reliability, that can take you all the way back to waterfall.
I’ve observed Waymos pulling over in neighborhood streets when aggressively tailgated. They then continue on.

I’d submit aggressive drivers aren’t used to that.
Apple's approach is a prime example - why depend on Intel when they're lagging behind?

By designing their own chips and partnering with a foundry to manufacture them, Apple can create customized solutions that meet their product's specific requirements, distinguishing themselves from other PC manufacturers that use Intel/AMD chips.

Amazon recognizing it as an opportunity to stand out from the competition in the cloud services market by offering its own chips.
"Keep managers happy" isn't part of Scrum, either. If you read any of the Scrum books by the creators of Scrum, you'll find that the way 95% of companies implement Scrum is nothing like what Scrum was intended to be. They mess it up, essentially in the name of marketing, and not wanting to truly change their ways.
I get that it makes folks uncomfortable to think that at the base of a lot of techno-utopianism lies a lot authoritarian and anti-human thought.

Maybe it doesn't have to be that way.

Maybe there is no necessity to believe that all of us mere humans are a weakness which must be transcended on the progressive path to some as-yet unknowable future.

But it feels like that undercurrent has always been in much techno-futurist thoughts which we can read in Musk's specific interests and grievances. Maybe that is just a problem with a view of history as the product of historical necessity- maybe it's just easier to see when the changes are specific technological changes instead of more abstract political or economic changes.

Anyhow, that's how Musk (and basically anyone who promotes implementing mass, top-down changes to the world) has always felt to me.
Wow, that's remarkable honest of them! I actually respect and appreciate that a lot more than I would some BS about it being for your own good or whatever.
Only 10-15 over? Here in Connecticut it's common to have someone pass you on the right at 20-25 over the limit (putting them at an absolute speed of 85-90 MPH). Tailgating is constant. Xe can't wait to move back to NYC where the drivers are much, much saner. Seriously.

Metrics and software process are orthogonal. Now, you can argue that consistent processes across teams is used to enable metrics, but Taylorism is going to creep up any place that has management that has been infected by it.
There are agile processes other than Scrum. Scrum has gotten all the press for some reason, but there are other options.

I personally prefer Kanban. The sprint is not a useful deadline for me so I want to ignore it.

This entire discussion or dichotomy is just a massive and sad misdirection. Its explicitly cargo-culting. In what other world do we spend half of our time talking about and conforming to various 'methodologies'. If we just find the right sprint cadence. If we just do retros better. Maybe some kanban-scrum hybrid. If we just _reallly_ limit standups to 15 minutes. If we clap three times at the end instead of two - then perhaps we will be able to deliver software.

There has to be some process, for tracking and communication. We should just have an industry-wide standard that management gets to impose a 5% process tax on hours spent and no more. And we should explicitly recognize that test, design, communication, teaching, engaging with the customer, triage and debugging are how software gets built. There is no magic process bullet. Its a wasteful story invented by management who existentially cannot admit that they have no control over the situation.
Because in real world people play with the hand they are dealt with. Team hasn't quit because there are no better jobs with empowered developers are waiting.
