This is the right approach. As an individual engineer, you are not paid enough to care about business problems and propose your own solutions and timelines. You are also not given organizational authority, budgets, or agency beyond your line of work.

You literally haven't been given the tools to own metrics and OKRs. And moving those metrics and OKRs doesn't get you more money.

So why would you care? You sound rational to me.

I've made games in Love2D for Android and for PC, I also as part of my converting Balatro to android, patched it a few places.

> Even with a multiplatform framework (Monogame), compilation and basic run isn't a given.

This isn't the case for Love2D. The game framework is already compiled for android, and the game is a bunch of Lua scripts. There is no issue with compiling, only very minor differences between the Lua for Android and the Lua for desktop platforms and making changes is instant except for transferring the apk to my phone and installing it to test (I didn't set up a full local android test environment for something so small). Balatro worked pretty much out of the box, except for some small changes I made — the first was to add in my profile from Steam, I didn't have to change the code for this. All the buttons were already reasonably sized. Text input was just adding a call to https://www.love2d.org/wiki/love.keyboard.setTextInput so that the on-screen keyboard appeared and disappeared when it was supposed to. I also patched a small bug that made it go blank on screen-reorientation, which was a one-line fix.

The total time spent was around an hour including codebase orientation, patching, testing and doc lookup (I haven't used the framework in a while).
Digital Notes – All Your Ideas in One Place
I’ve just launched Digital Notes, a workspace to capture anything from personal to team projects. It has a “social feed” style for quick entries, real-time collaboration, local-first performance, and automatic relationships between notes so you can see hidden connections. Data is stored in open formats (Markdown, PDF, HTML), and you can export any time—no lock-in. We’re aiming to add end-to-end encryption, a browser extension, and native apps soon.

Try it free for 14 days at digitalnotes.com. Feedback welcome—thanks for checking it out!

You're right, but I think about it the other direction. We currently _do_ eat the calves that _are_ killed so we can take their milk.

We _could_ (probably) figure out a way to not require killing them, I just don't know what that would be.
I’m not disputing that passwords suck. It’s just that the experience with passkeys hasn’t matched the vision I’ve been sold when I first read about it.

I am sure a more mainstream solution such as Google/Apple/Microsoft/1Password’s password manager would be a better experience. But the portability and data sovereignty of using a self hosted open source password manager such as Keepass is a requirement I have and like I mentioned, the supermajority of my online accounts have zero passkey support even 2 years in.
agreed. at my company we ended up rolling our own system. but this area is absolutely ripe for some configurable saas or OS tool with advanced reporting and alerting mechanisms. Datadog has a decent offering, but it's pretty $$$$.

I agree with the downvote think.

What you have seen (whey without calves harm) is probably typical an old farming practice OR of some rural family production. That’s great for them and their cows, but have nothing to do with 99% of the milk consumed daily, even the best quality you can buy wherever else those farms are.

True, I'm just saying I don't think that's where the problems originate.

No code at all is the best code, that's a given.

It was a matter of cost vs benefit ratio which ultimately resulted in net benefits. Stakeholders like designers and product don't see nor care that some mocks are repeated or that the sub optimal API is used in stories. Customers don't care why the application is broken, they care it is and the additional E2Es catched multiple bugs. Juniors would appreciate documentation and stories even if they might be redundant.

I think the biggest fallacy committed in evaluating the benefits of LLMs is in comparing them with the best output humans can generate.

But if those humans do not have the patience, energy or time budget to generate such output (and more often than not they don't) I think one should evaluate leveraging LLMs to lower the required effort and trying to find an acceptable sweet spot, otherwise you risk falling into Luddism.

Even as of 2025 humans outperform machines in tailoring 200 years after Luddism appeared, that doesn't change that it's thanks to machines that lifted humans out of a lot of the repetitive work that we can cloth virtually every human for pennies. That hasn't removed the need for human oversight in tailoring or that very same role behind higher quality clothes.
I did not do any OKRs on an infrastructure team. Qualitative results were just as valued, and we had the quantitative knobs to dial when needed thanks to excellent internal tooling and service maturity.

I found it to be the ironic part of working at one of the most data-driven companies. We didn’t do OKRs in my org despite using data to drive decisions. I much prefer this to OKR hell.

It would be interesting to learn more about the hardware and CPU platforms used - e.g. radiation hardened SPARC (Gaisler Leon-based?) or PowerPC systems - and if the source code for the satellite platforms' NetBSD port is available.

I’m not one for conspiracy theories usually, but I’m pretty sure the state of Marketplace search is, if not ‘deliberate’, at least a result of metrics-driven development. The search results are _just_ useful enough to keep you scrolling and tapping, so the vagueness increases engagement :-(

My general writing style is directed mainly towards my non-technical colleagues, which I wish to inspire to learn about computers.

This is no novelty, by far, it is a pretty standard use-case of Frida. But I think many people, even software developers, don't grasp the concept of "what runs on your device is yours, you just dont have it yet".

Especially in mobile apps, many devs get sloppy on their mobile APIs because you can't just open the developer tools.
It's possible. I don't know. Sometimes people just come up with the same ideas over and over.

Classic example is the pyramid structures around the world. The fact that people found that it's easy to pile rocks that way in order to build tall stable structures doesn't mean that there was a single culture that span the entire globe.
Certainly - I agree with you!

I'm seeing that the team that owns this customer experience doesn't ensure they get enough positive reviews to break out of the noise (or fix the UX that makes installing this printer on Windows 10 difficult). Either way, it tells me this company doesn't make an effort.
There are some real hard truths about not being able to own physical media, but purely in terms of UX, on-demand streaming blows anything else out of the water. I can stream any children's audiobook under the son to my daughter's Bluetooth speaker in a whim, instead of shuffling through a bunch of optical media that break easily, and for my own purposes I don't have to have a physical player, space to store the media, etc.

Maybe the best of both worlds would be to rip everything to a Plex server and have the originals in the basement.
If you lose your phone and you only have your phone to access your email, then you also have lost access to your password if you're using a strong password and a password manager.

You need to get your view of UK food from somewhere other than American comics' jokes about UK food.
I personally see different kinds of ideas:

* The "trivial" ones where there is no risk (we know it's possible) and it "just takes development time". Say I own sport infrastructures and I want to build a system (website, app, ...) where customers can pay, register to some classes, book some infrastructure, etc. In that case, it just takes a lot of development time, and therefore it's expensive. I won't be able to afford that "just for fun".

* The "innovative" ones where there is a risk: I think it would be useful, but it doesn't seem to exist, and I don't know if it is reasonably feasible or not. In that case, outsourcing would mean paying someone to do that research and possibly failing. Many times it will fail (because it's not possible, which explains why nobody does it). If I fail myself, I have learned a lot in the process. If I pay someone to fail, I have just lost my money.

Now it's probably possible to pay someone to develop a product, try to sell this product and then re-invest in the product. But at this point it's not a side project, it's entrepreneurship :-).

To me the whole idea of a side project is that it is something I would like to do, myself. If I was paid to work on it full time, it would become my job and it would stop being a side project. And then other side projects would pop up!
Lots of people have a Facebook account just to use Marketplace, at least in my area.
I had not known of Time Series (or most other) anomaly detection methods until recently, when I used several LLMs to assist with an analysis of the Florida Lottery Pick4 history.

For years, I'd been casually observing the daily numbers (2 draws daily for each since around ?/?/2004?, and 1 prior), which are Pick2, 3, 4, and 5, but mostly Pick4, which is 4 digits, thus has 1:10,000 odds, vs 1:100, 1:1000 and 1:100,000 for the others.

With truly random numbers, it is pretty difficult to identify anything but glaring anomalies. Among some of the tests performed were: (clusters\daily\weekly; (isolated forest; (popular permutations\by date\special holidays\etc; (individual digits\deviations; (temporal frequency; (dbscan; (zscore; (patterns; (correlation; (external factors; (auto correlation by cluster; (predictive modeling; (chi squared; (Time Series ... and a few more I've forgotten.

For those wondering why I'd do this, around 2023-23, the FL Lottery drastically modified their website. Previously, one could enter a number for the game of their choice and receive all historical permutations of that number over all years, going back to the 1990s. With the new modification, the permutations have been eliminated and the history only shows for 2 years. The only option for the complete history is to download the provided PDF -- however, it is full of extraneous characters and cannot be readily searched via Ctrl-F, etc. Processing this PDF involves extensive character removal to render it parsable or modestly readable. So to restore the previously functional search ability, manual work is required. The seemingly deliberate obfuscation, or obstruction, was my motivation. The perceived anomalies over the years were secondary, as I am capable of little more than speculation without proper testing. But those two factors intrigued me.

Having no background in math and only feeble abilities in programming, this was a task that I could not have performed without LLMs and python code used for the tests. The test is still incomplete, having increased in complexity as I progressed and left me too tired to persist. The result were ultimately within acceptable ranges of randomness, but some patterns were present. I had made files of (all numbers that ever occurred; (all numbers that have never occurred; (popularity of single, isolated digits -- I was actually correct in my intuition here, which proved certain single were occurring with lesser or greater frequencies as would be expected; (a script to apply Optical Character Recognition on the website and append the latest results to a living text and PDF file to offer anyone interested an opportunity to freely search, parse and analyze the numbers. But I couldn't quite wangle the OCR successfully.

Working with a set over 60k individual number sets, looking for anomalies over a 30 year period; if there are other methods anyone would suggest, please offer them and I might resume this abandoned project.

It’s interesting how many different opinions there are in this thread! Perhaps it really varies by field.

I was reading mostly neuroscience papers when I was taught this method as an undergrad (though the details are a bit fuzzy these days).

I’d bet it also varies quite a bit with expertise/familiarity with the material. A newcomer will have a hard time understanding the methodology of a niche paper in neuroscience, for example, but the concepts communicated in the abstract and other summary sections are quite valuable.
The parts may be very cheap for this plan, but you get killed on labor costs (prep time, food acquisition time, monitoring time, etc).
People often like what they are good at, true, but people become good at things through work and practice. I am tired of the general attitude that somebody will either like something or dislike it after they give it a little try, when pretty much any performance art, be it programming, playing sport, drawing or learning an instrument comes front-loaded with hundreds of hours of practice before somebody can get good enough at it to properly enjoy it.

To be very charitable with you:
If someone puts all their funds into stocks or similar (what almost all wealthy do) isn't that them letting others decide how to allocate these resources? So they have done all they could. Or are companies outside of the "sacred responsibility" you claim? who decides which organisations or efforts are "sacred "?

To be less charitable you seem like an arrogant person at best to tell people they should always know and allocate resources aligning with your values. I am almost sure all your efforts for this cause while maybe well meaning will be in vain due to your attitude.

Inventing a different physics and declaring it to be more correct certainly works, but is kind of a boring answer to the problem.

It plainly is a contradiction given that there’s a system where it gives a different answer. If it wasn’t a contradiction then it would be equivalent (or somehow a superset?) and wouldn’t solve the problem.

Ignoring the problem as unphysical makes much more sense to me. The real world doesn’t follow Newtonian physics anyway, it’s effectively just a simplification useful for certain common situations. No need to care about edge cases that can’t happen.
