I think a better chance of finding anything vintage would be Yahoo! Auctions and if you're not living there: a proxy-shipping service such as Buyee.jp.

I don’t know what we’re calling “agile”, but it’s explicitly supposed to capture this. You use the product, get feedback (from either yourself or users), and iterate on it.

It sounds like you have organisational failures that prevent you from getting the feedback or iterating on it.
Don't be so proud of this technological terror that you have constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the force.

Many SaaS disappoint after a while. They suggest you are paying monthly and benefit from ongoing development in return. Instead prices get increased, and essential new features are locked behind additional pricing tiers. Premium, professional, enterprise, what’s next? The user interface becomes an advertising app for the upsell. It’s an abuse of trust. So the problem is not so much subscriptions and SaaS themselves, but the business practices they enable.
Since I don't see it mentioned here and it's complimentary information allow me to mention the OpenAPI Tools website[0]. It lists and categorizes a ton of different tooling options from SDK generators, to automatic testing frameworks, etc. From some personal experience they vary in spec support and quality widely, but the listing itself is a good starting point if you're in a position to start evaluating tooling for a team you're on or company you're working with.

No.

An unlocked phone is indistinguishable from a locked phone until you attempt to sign it up for another network. That distinction isn’t made until the phone is already stolen.

If I’m a thief, I steal the phone either way. Sometimes I get a carrier locked phone and only make $10 (realistically more. Carrier locked phones sell at a discount around 20-50%), or I get an unlocked phone and make $400.

Your argument is the same that carrying less cash would make you less of a target for pickpockets. It won’t. They will steal a wallet with no cash as fast as a wallet stuffed with hundreds.
Did you miss where I said “…each service is still making calls to DBs. Many of the services depend on other services…?”

I’ve seen API calls that result in hundreds of DB calls. While yes, of course refactoring should be done to drop that, the fact remains that if even a small number of those calls have to read from disk, the latency starts adding up.

It’s also not uncommon to have horrendously suboptimal schema, with UUIDv4 as PK, JSON blobs, etc. Querying those often results in lots of disk reads simply due to RDBMS design. The only way those result in anything resembling acceptable UX is with local NVMe drives for the DB, because EBS just isn’t going to cut it.
Fixing “agile” is not the point. Find a process (and iterate on it) that helps you ship good software. I think there’s a bunch of stuff in the agile toolbox that’s helpful. Pick and mix that works for you.

Maybe the business just doesn’t value shipping good software all that much - plenty don’t.

Yes, but the important thing is the evaluation function of what happens after random actions - his intuitive expectations and things ripping his skin. A web fuzzer can click around randomly like he does, but it can't know things like "clicking here ought to have set the button" or "this is twice as slow as it should be, why". It can detect things like crashes or segfaults or JS code throwing exceptions, but not those other things.
Hey! I run Beekeeper Studio.

Here's why I price like I do:

I can't keep the lights on with one time payments, period. I just don't make enough money.

However as a consumer I prefer them.

My compromise is a subscription that provides a permanent benefit after 1 year. Access to any version of the app released in your subscription period. Forever.

I think it's really fair, and when I made the change I saw an immediate uptick in sales.

Creepiness is a judgment from others and their problem. You can do your best to improve on lessening it (aka always approach from the front because it’s best to be in view, at least 5m distance and a loud enough “excuse me” to draw their attention and to let them know you are about to say something. If they show any sign of having no time, disengage and quickly wish them a good day). All you need to do is: your best and be as respectful as possible. If you do that and you know you have strived to the utmost to be the best version of yourself then others have no moral ground to stand on IMO. Freedom of speech is what ultimately makes us all approachable, yes, you too
I have some major disagreements with this:

1.) Arguments about what words should mean are silly, as words clearly can mean different things in different contexts. If a word conveys a concept consistently and without confusion between the speaker and audience, it's a valid usage.

2.) Any discussion of abstraction in a purely mathematical sense without paying any attention to human factors is not going to be useful for many software engineers.

For example, many programmers have day-to-day tasks like "make it so when the bookmark icon is clicked, the relevant record gets saved as a bookmark." One might create a function called "saveBookmark" with a side effect of flipping a boolean on a db record. I would say this is abstraction because the reader of the code can sufficiently understand what will happen when it is called without needing to understand the details. All the underlying DB operations are compressed into the minimal interface that is relevant for the context of a UI page.

It's very unnatural to try to discuss this sort of what-I-would-call-abstraction as a mapping across mathematically defined domains. The reason people find these sorts of articles hard to follow is they bear little resemblance to what most software work looks like.
I can absolutely relate with your fear, but I think this will eventually be helpful to dismiss those mobs. Might even desensitize people boiling over 'blasphemy'. Yes, for the first few instances it will hurt. Then, eventually it will become common enough to be known by common folk. Enough that those people themselves will be sceptic enough to not act.

I recall photoshop blackmailing stories where usually woman were the target. Now literally "everyone" knows pictures can be manipulated/photoshopped. It will take a while yes, but eventually common folk will learn that these audios/videos can't be trusted.

the article mentions a rare distomolar: (dentistry) A congenital supernumerary (extra) tooth located posterior to the third molar tooth

an extra/supernumerary tooth in another part of the mouth would be called, front to back, a mesiodens or a paramolar

supernumerary teeth may be:

Supplemental (where the tooth has a normal shape for the teeth in that series);

Tuberculate (also called barrel shaped);

Conical (also called peg shaped);

Compound odontoma (multiple small tooth-like forms);

Complex odontoma (a disorganized mass of dental tissue)

(most of that info is from wikipedia, but it did not have the definition of distomolar, had to chase that down in wiktionary)

> "average application engineer"

Boy, that brings back memories. In The Days of Yore, there was an implicit caste system, where "application engineers" were considered "lesser beings."

Having done both systems engineering, and application engineering, I like application engineering, a lot more. I don't particularly care, whether or not anyone looks down their nose at me.
I see. That's pretty similar to the feature set of [pdb](https://docs.python.org/3/library/pdb.html). You may then logically ask "Does Hy support pdb?". The answer is "sort of". I've fixed one or two bugs, but we don't test it. I suspect there are various features of pdb that assume Python syntax and would need some hooks to get working properly with Hy.
Is there much work on valuation — or price discovery, I'm not sure what the right word is — for open-source software? If an entity wanted to fund its open-source supply chain, how would/should it allocate whatever it's willing to spend?
> Buy v1.x and you can use v1.x forever, but if you want v2.x, pay again.

Yeah, but that has a few logistical and incentive challenges. Someone buying right before an update etc. And you may not want to create conflicts between semantic versioning and business decisions.

Another approach could be to have features labeled with
date, and gated behind flags. Then deliver updates to everyone but features are enabled based on your purchase date, eg within a year.

Oh MMT is a new wrapper around the very basic old ideas. There is research on some pre-revolutionary US states that print their own money and raise the tax to be paid in the printed money at the same time. Inunderstand Dr Johnson commented on it.

Anyway. Yes I guess the order is reversed - print the money first, give it to people to get them to do whatever the government wants (build walls, roads etc), then find whomever the money has gone to and tax them.

I found this an interesting way of looking at money, when I

Asset ownership is a legal system. My ownership of my house is a legal situation. My mortgage is a (tradeable) obligation between me and my bank manager

Other points: you cannot tax first - imagine a starting situation. No dollar bills have been printed so how do you get tax paid in dollars?

And the government prints more than it taxes so there is “liquidity” - there has to be be extra dollar bills floating around so we can pay hairdressers etc (I mean you could in theory tax the lot but that would mean perfect understanding of the velocity of money through the economy - maybe with fiat crypto?)

But in the main asset ownership is decoupled from money - you own your house and car and stocks but you don’t own money - you owe the bank or the bank owes you but money is zero sum, even if wealth is not
We simply do a terrible job at educating people about how much the past sucked and instead do the opposite with ridiculous Goethe like romanticism of the past.

Never mind that Goethe was the eldest of 7 children with only one sibling not dead as a child. Then going on to have have 5 children of his own. 4 that also happened to die as young children.

Modern people are so clueless we literally take the lack of dead children completely granted.

The type of person who writes this cultural word salad slop I suspect has an IQ of 100, thinks it is 140 and can't figure out what is wrong with the modern world that they are not above average in their output.
I wasn't referring specifically to LLMs when talking about the mushrooms. You could do something more sophisticated. I'm not an expert on it, but you could probably compare the images against a known, validated dataset to give you a baseline and then use some fancy AI algorithm to hone in on the best match, or do it the other way around -- let the AI take a first guess and then validate that its not hallucinating.

They're already trying to use AI for breast cancer scans and what not, I don't see why we can't do it for mushrooms.

In a sane world, it should be as easy as sending them a counter-notice and if they decide to escalate, sending a cardboard cutout of yourself to the court with a printed "no copyrighted materials (except for some screenshots, which is fair use for illustrative purposes) exist on the website" sign to win the case.

We are not living in the sane world, of course.

Not to get too ideological, but libertarian proponents tend to claim that businesses with poor service will just naturally be outcompeted. Those who go as far as to suggest that fraud need not be prosecuted by statist regulation will say that dishonest companies will have bad reputations and customers will naturally not patronize them.

Makes me wonder what trying to build such a reputation system would look in practice. Consumer Reports manages to hang on as a publication but not everyone consults it, and there are so many more review sites these days of varying quality, impacted by AI/outsourced copywriting.

And when you deal with an industry as dominated by a few monolithic oligopolies like health insurance or phone service- what is more bad publicity going to do to AT&T? You can’t even boycott that, especially when they lock in customers to prevent them from easily switching away.

Ok fair: they're things that right now are best understood using the term Field. I don't understand what kind of answer you're hoping for that would be better than this -- what kind of answer to "what is a particle" wouldn't be describable by mathematics?

By saying "the universe is fields", I'm saying "it's distributions of energy across spacetime". That's seemingly a consensus. Why demand that that energy must also form into strings or even tinier spheres or spheres in an alternate dimension or something? We have described fields in detail, I say Mission Accomplished
Some of the Japanese PC platforms were sold in Australia. Shout-out to the Hitachi Peach, a curious 6809 machine reminiscent of an Apple II. My high school friends father purchased one (it was cheaper than an actual PC) and we spent many weekends coding on it but it was very difficult to find much info beyond the manual. IIRC it had Microsoft Basic but a proprietary OS. Parts of the manual were still in Japanese. It all seemed so exotic at the time.

I spent a few years building OpenAPI-related tools at Google, collaborating with Apigee.

One of the "open secrets" about OpenAPI's history was how Smartbear spun out the OpenAPI spec to be a community-managed spec, but with the requirement that there wouldn't be official tooling offered with it --- arguably to protect Smartbear's investment in Swagger. (it's been a minute so specifics are hazy but IIRC it was something like this). The tooling ecosystem feels pretty disjointed as a result.

Compare to gRPC/protobuf, where the specification and tooling have been developed together. Parsers, static analyzers, code generators, documentation tooling all happen in lockstep with spec development, and the ecosystem feels much more cohesive.

To me one of the biggest changes was LPs and then CDs to flash drives for portable data storage (now just cloud). With an LP you can actually see the grooves and how the stylus rides in it. You can hear the vibrations, if you listen closely, and imagine how the sound is recorded (even for stereo). With CDs you can still see the diffraction patterns and grooves, even if it takes a microscope to spot the little pits and the little lasers are invisible, and there was a metaphor to LPs (where for a short time there were laser stylus as well).

Now it's just black boxes. Shove it in and magic happens. You're not going to figure out a multilayer high density flash even if you have an ion beam cutter and an electron microscope. Your best bet is figuring out the electrical protocol on the USB, though with multi-level differential embedded clock 40Gb/s links that's almost hopeless. I feel a bit sad for those just learning how things work. Software is the only system "simple" enough to wrap your head around, and that has just allowed the actual implementations to be ever more complex.
I mean all you need is regulating the insurance industry in America. We do a fine job in Switzerland with private insurance, and yet they're some of the biggest insurance players globally. The government HEAVILY regulates health insurance. Also, health insurance isn't tied to employment.

The problem with that is that users (1) often click at random or for stupid reasons (I was shocked when one user contacted me to complain about my site acting poorly when they clicked on random empty whitespace - they said they just did that compulsively as a habit, like fidgeting), and (2) users learn to not click on these sorts of papercuts via operant conditioning. Like the OP's example is something that his users would learn not to do, and so it would disappear from the statistics. It's not obvious to me that it would emerge out of the sea of misclicks and bots and random fidgeting clicks. Are you going to review a vast list of logged null clicks (and of course, lots of these papercuts will be for clicks that do have actions - the wrong action) regularly? Realistically, no. You probably aren't even reviewing your site's 404s or making sure all links work.
Heat and pressure like that would convert that ash into a metamorphic rock and destroy any fossils. Surface rocks don’t get down to the Mantle except through subduction where they are melted and mixed with other melted rocks.

If those fossils were buried in ash or mud, the normal rock-forming processes would have fossilized the bone and converted the ash and much to sedimentary rock. You see the same thing in other fossils bearing rocks like limestone and sandstone.
