I agree that the phrasing in the article is a bit confusing there!

Pie had a severe problem in the rate estimator which was fixed in 2018, in Linux, at least:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S13891...

Pie's principal advantage is that it is slightly easier to implement in hardware, it's disadvantages are that it does tail drop, rather than head drop, and struggles to be stable at a target of 16ms, where codel can go down to us and targets 5ms by default. I haven't really revisited pie since the above paper was published.

COBALT in cake is a codel derivative. It is slightly tighter in some respects (hitting slow start sooner), and looser in others (it never drops the last packet in a queue, which fq_codel does.fq_codel scales to hundreds of instances and 10s of thousands of queues, still aiming for 5ms across that target, where it would be easier to essentially DOS that many instances of cake with tons of flows.
WASM is a child of the browser community and built on top of existing infra.

Java was an outsider trying to get in.

The difference is not in the nature of things, but rather who championed it.
Wow, nice work [1] ! I used to work on CryptoMiniSat a lot. Nowadays I'm doing model counting and maybe synthesis, if all goes well [2]

Yes, but they don't want unipersonal companies either. They want companies with certain size, and legal department, so if any issue arises, it will be between the legal teams to resolves, rather than support.
You're making a theoretical argument about how things could work.

I'm telling you what actually happened in the real world.
I love this!

I've been building something similar for far too long - and it is far too buggy still - for Europe-only travel.

Good luck with this. I know how hard it can be doing this sort of thing between job, life, family, and dreaming of your next trip :)
RFC 9635 Grant Negotiation and Authorization Protocol (GNAP)
> You say “retain managers” — plural. You’re putting words in their mouth.

The only use of "managers" was with respect to the use of Scrum itself, which is only tangentially related to what came before it. It logically cannot put words into anyone's mouth as it is not directly related to any mouths that may be near. It is only directly related to the comment that it is contained within by the additional context it setup.

> The article is basically suggesting POs shouldn’t control the backlog because engineers know better (essentially).

Yes, that is what Agile also says. Of course, it also says that you need the right people. We need to know more about the specific engineers to know if it is a valid take. Statistically it won't be, but perhaps it is under his unique circumstances? It is invalid to conflate his situation with someone else's.

> Sounds like they’ve had a bad experience and want to vent about it. Fine, but it’s an immature take imho.

I know Agile isn't cool anymore, but there was a time where the industry as a whole actually tried to embrace it. It wasn't considered immature then. Perhaps it is immature now only because it is no longer in fashion?

> I am an engineer myself and I think it’s insulting

If you are insulted by words on a screen, you might need to think about it harder. That is not logically sound.
For those curious about the Pivotal Labs product innovation process, check out this guide. In my opinion, it's the best end-to-end guide on how it all works together.

It's a product of 20+ years of iteration & weekly retrospectives - and was used to coach clients on how to collaborate as a team and build high quality products. Definitely download it, and review from time to time - many gold nuggets.

Given the dispatching of drones and the effort to destroy UN monitoring cameras before the attack, I doubt it was a "misfire". See https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/10/10/israeli-forces-fir...
In addition to restic: rustic

https://github.com/rustic-rs/rustic

It’s a rewrite of restic in rust, but has a few more quality of life features and a config file for setting params (instead of restic only having cli flags).

It’s what changed my backups from something I’d poke at every few days to completely on autopilot.
I don’t think Evernote will ever return, at least in its former avatar. It might live on among a niche set of users, though.
It's clearly enough of an impact for Google to spend effort killing uBlock on Chrome, and (attempting) to block it on Youtube. Obviously Google is huge, and even a small percentage of users is still a lot of money on the table.
> pathogens cant live in beer

Depending on the beer there might be live yeasts in it.

Beers can still go bad. Not always from a "not safe to consume" but often at least a "not going to taste very good anymore" kind of thing. Beers will end up oxidizing, the stuff in the beer will degrade over time, etc. Not all beers age well, some need to be had within a certain period of freshness.

Generally I prefer a "born-on" date for beer.
The political will only exists to do money printing part in practice. The rest is a pipe dream.
Since there seems to be a few others who use one hand or the other depending on the task at hand, here's my seemingly random list:

- writing, eating, soldering iron, painting: left hand

- throwing, kicking, anything that requires more strength: right hand

- guitar: right

- hand that holds a drink: left

Here's some weird ones:

- Chop an onion: right hand

- Butter a piece of bread: left hand

- Use a mouse: right hand. This one makes no sense. My left hand is my precision hand. I assume this was learned.

- Use a box cutter or exacto knife: left hand

- Scissors: right hand (Again, this must have been learned)

Here's a funny story from my youth: I worked part time at Wendy's in high school. Once when I was making sandwiches, a co-worker remarked "Why do you do that?". "Do what?" I said. "Why do you keep switching hands depending on what topping/condiment you're putting on the sandwich?". "Idk, I didn't even notice".
The only unserious argument here is your absurd analogy to banks. A homonym is when two words have totally unrelated meanings. Cocaine is the psychoactive drug found in coca leaves; we refer to cocaine hydrochloride (i.e. powder cocaine) as “cocaine” for the same reason we refer to Everclear as “grain alcohol”.
If the US is trading with the EU, say, and the US is importing too much and exporting too little, eventually that affects the exchange rate between the dollar and the euro. That adjusts in a way that somewhat counteracts the trade imbalance.

But if Portugal imports too much from France and exports too little, and they're both using the euro, then there is no exchange rate to adjust, and so you're just left with the trade imbalance and no adjustment.
Not directly relevant to the post, but seems like a good place to share.

My team and I once took on a very tricky automation project. At the time we had a complex software deployment done about once per month that involved a team of about a dozen people showing up at 4am to do it while traffic was low.

The deployment involved many manual steps and coordination of everybody involved. The person leading each deployment followed the documented list of steps and got each person to do their bit at the right time; people to run database migrations, people to install RPMs on particular servers, people to test and verify functionality. Mistakes and missed steps were not uncommon.

The very first thing we did was take the documentation and write a Jenkins job to post each step into a Slack channel specifically for coordinating the deployments. Someone clicked "go" and each step was posted as a message in that channel with a 'done' button to be clicked when that step was done. Clicking the button caused the next step to be posted.

The next release we did used that instead of one person reading the steps out of confluence. Everyone involved in the release could always see what step we were at, and when it was their turn to do their bit. This helped ensure no steps were ever missed too.

Over the following months we chipped away at that job a bit at a time. We'd pick a step in the process and automate just that step, starting with the low-hanging fruit first. The Slack message for that step went from "click to confirm you've done it" to "click to do it", with the result posted once it was done; followed by the next step to perform.

It was a long process, but it allowed the rest of the business (and us!) to gradually gain confidence in the automation, and lowered the risk of the project dramatically. Once several steps had been automated and battle-tested we removed the 'click to do' bits in between and the whole release became a couple of clicks followed by the odd bit of manual QA.
Don't judge Effect based on Rambda they have completely different objectives, Rambda focused a lot on abstractions similar to fp-ts, Effect focuses almost exclusively on concrete implementations
This is broadly true for any division of land with a single currency but it’s not as if going to tiny city states with unique currencies is also a good idea.
They should promise not to become wikimedia board members. That is the main thing that allows fandom to be so bad.
QT has been around for decades. So has GTK. Bindings for whatever language you could possibly want. Runs on whatever OS you want. We've had "truly portable" UI frameworks since the late 90s. This has not been an issue for my entire adult life. 20 years ago, I was using desktop applications that ran on Mac OS X, Windows, and *nix with no modifications. They were written in Python, used GTK, and just worked.

Web apps are popular because 1) people don't like installing things anymore for some reason and 2) it's easier to justify a subscription pricing model.
Neat little tool. I was looking for Excel in the examples but only saw charts.

For Excel + Word I use coda.io. You can also quickly create equations with sliders for variables to satisfy similar needs as Tenno but I haven't tried charting with it yet.
Decided to give OSRS (Old School RuneScape) another try after more than a decade break from the game. Without their wiki, I don't think I would've continued to play; it's open constantly - incredibly easy to use, very well up to date, and just an all around wonderful resource. Above and beyond what used to exist.
The text of the law seems to be specific that the beer exemption (and other alcohol) is about a permission to put the vintage (year month, etc), since alcohol are expected to change over time even after bottling (some better some worse) so consumers would desire that information even though it does not conform to the normal "use by" or "best by" relevant to other products (any other placement or use of a date on a label being what is made illegal by the law)
So far they are the only one.

They're definitely "leadership material"!
A expected step. Nobody has a intention, to build a anti-(age)-statistic protection wall.

Thanks! Glad you found it useful. SQLite actually works really well for tons of applications where people often assume you need Postgres, and the simplicity of setting it up and backing it up is extremely compelling.

You can really help things a lot with the PRAGMAs, and if that doesn't work, you can use something like an async DB write queue pattern to deal with the simultaneous write limitations (and also by doing more stuff with transactions and bulk insertions).

Yes it’s true that there’s more to the story, but also, Java really is more complicated and harder to secure than WASM. You need to look at the entire attack surface and not just the bytecode.

For example, Java was the first mainstream language with built-in threading and that resulted in a pile of concurrency bugs. Porting Java to a new platform was not easy because it often required fixing threading bugs in the OS. By contrast, JavaScript and WASM (in the first version) are single-threaded. For JavaScript it was because it was written in a week, but for WASM, they knew from experience to put off threading to keep things simple.

Java also has a class loader, a security manager that few people understand and sensitive native methods that relied on stack-walking to make sure they weren’t called in the wrong place. The API at the security boundary was not well-designed.

A lot of this is from being first at a lot of things and being wildly ambitious without sufficent review, and then having questionable decisions locked in by backward compatibility concerns.
Portugal is in a weird situation where it has high taxes and at the same time the median salary is too close to the minimum wage. This is difficult to overcome, and thus salaries are stagnated.

The government has no reason, in the medium to long term, to have such high taxes. Since, by keeping high taxation the state retrieves less money in absolute terms than they would if they let wages increase and steer away from the minimum wage.

I don't think you could say that about most EU countries. Portugal really is in a bad place.

(Edit: just clarifying that the situation is different, yes taxation is high as most others but in the case of Portugal its much worse)
Ah Cloudflare, where you constantly get captchas for attempting to read a web page.
This is a tricky one, because at some point you need to think about the integrity of the product's packaging, and how well it's been stored.

Craft beer *in a can* will not age gracefully. Even in a bottle, while it will probably be fine, how much light exposure are the bottle getting, have they been left out in the sun at any point etc.

Best before dates, hard expiry dates (if required), and ideally including a packaged on date would be a pretty ideal amount of information.
Could you share some links? I’m not familiar with this.
Come on it has nothing to do with the industrial scale at which the beer is created it has to do with which ingredients malt, hops, etc.
Very cool! A couple first-blush bits of feedback:

- The editable text fields currently lose focus after each keypress

- Error handling will be a hard nut to crack, but currently if you, say, add "a" to an editable textbox that expects a number, the live component reverts to text

- Minimal support for buttons would add a lot for simple interactive charts - something like:

::button
label="Set x to 5"
x = 5

The author did some very cool work with Raylib interpolating between animations to make transitions more natural. I remember being blown away at how realistic it looked from the videos he posted in the Discord. Glad to see he's still pushing the boundaries on what's possible with quality animation. And of course Cello rocks!
Thanks, I understand. This is a free tool and doesn’t have much to do with the main platform at the moment. Langtail is primarily for testing LLM apps.
Which is why our principle with Effect is NOT to port Haskell. For example we don't use Typeclasses which are big in haskell, we lean heavily on variance which is not in Haskell. It's an ecosystem though to write production-grade TypeScript, not Haskell in TypeScript
> Their basic structure has close similarities with spin models in statistical physics applied to magnetism or alloy theory.

Statistical physics itself is hardly real physics, I also like how they avoided the term computational physics, which is what it's commonly known as. I suppose that might have given it away too quickly.
These kinds of perspectives are often found and parroted in perceived 'elite' circles. It's no wonder the author works in Epic Games, a place in which one would need high technical chops to work there.

It's also no wonder why such people get disconnected from some realities on the ground. Sure on paper people do want higher quality things but they don't even know what those are. Most people have low-brow tastes; they'd take a cheaper and well-marketed thing over a 1% improvement.

Japan didn't need to compete on the same ladder for success, it needed to mix various elements of what they're good at to achieve it's own success.
Setting aside the lack of trust in anything Trump says, this is something everyone should read:

> What Trump means by double taxation remains uncertain, and campaign officials offered no additional details about exactly what policy change he would try to push through Congress.

First of all (naturalized American who lived abroad on-and-off) there is no 'double taxation' for a lot of countries, because of treaties. It's only the hassle of filing taxes, as most other countries have a higher tax rate than the US for the average Joe, so this may only affect rich(er) people who want to reside in tax heavens.

Second, someone needs to pay for this possible deficit. Who and how? Are we doing another time-bomb like the 2017 fiscal 'reform'?

Honestly I think there's a higher chance of cutting social security benefits for Americans living abroad than eliminating tax returns for them.

Getting tired of this Trump sanewashing. He's letting lose a firehose of bullshit and it's like the media has some sort of tripwire for something relatively sane or 'of interest' and they just run with it (if you search online for Trump and americans abroad, EVERYONE is publishing this story, as if Trump finally said something which makes sense), even when he doesn't substantiate it with actual plans (concepts of a plan don't count).

So, no.

I'm with you for the most part but we definitely need to hold PE and the Ticketmasters of the world more accountable- there's no escaping modern capitalism but better markets are definitely possible.
Syntactically it is, but semantically it's really more of an isolated block IMO because not only it's called only once, but that call happens immediately (so no back-and-forth control flow unlike regular functions), and the lambda is not passed anywhere as a value either.
A born date is a nice idea actually, they do it for wines so it would transfer easily. When you say beeds end up oxidizing, could this kind of activity cause maybe a reaction to say an aluminium can for example ?
Beer is pasteurized or else full of live yeast cultures. It doesn't go "bad" per se in the sense that it will hurt you, but some beers taste bad beyond a certain point. Hoppy beers lose flavor in ~90 days or so after bottling. Mass-market beers "skunk" if they are exposed to light and the UV causes certain compounds to break down. Strong unpasteurized malty beers like porters and stouts can age for literally years in a cool dark place, and it smooths the flavors out.
Death and disease are not real, my mind zones them out. I never remember when i was the last time at the dentist, so why include that part in my lifes plan? That is just a blindspot of everyones mental model. They parked a whole scaming theme park in that in the us.
> The respected and socially competent engineer should always fulfill the traditional PO obligations

This is sort of the problem isn't it? You have a significant portion of people in business who believe that engineers are not socially competent by nature, and another significant portion that simply does not respect engineers in the slightest, instead treating them like an assembly line

There's probably a large overlap between the two groups, but it's not a circular venn diagram

I can't be the only person who has encountered dismissive comments from departments outside of R&D, or from managers higher up the food chain, about engineers ability or value

I mean a lot of companies treat engineers as fungible assets, as if the only value we provide is slinging code and any engineer could do that
Wow apparently a lot of rich people and/or bankers are here judging by the downvotes.
> Young, educated people are the gold of the western world

No, they (we?) are not. The better analogy is a gold mine. You still need to invest in it to get anything out, and it’ll be a few years before you do. If you fail to do that, all you have is a Superfund site.

Not even close, the marginal federal tax rate is 12% for income between $11k and $44k [0]. This doesn't take into account state/property taxes, but it's nowhere near

It depends on the beer type as well. Malty strong beers age well. Hoppy beers don't because the compounds are volatile. Malty beers benefit in flavor from continued breakdown of their chemical compounds, hoppy beers don't.
