This is why there should be a real manager, or a real senior engineer, in every meeting. It doesn't matter whether the kids have wandered off into talking about CS abstractions, or about their fantasy football leagues, or the meeting has turned into an eyes-glazed-over performative attendance event - if it's a real business, there needs to be a real grown-up saying (in effect) this is a waste of time, get back to work.

Posting something like this but leaving up to the reader to try and figure out the reasoning is probably not a good idea, people will come up with all kinds of things and others will unfairly get blame placed upon them.
One thing to note, maybe particularly with reference to the “who wrote vim” analysis⁰, is that depending on workflow this can attribute more to internal contributors than you might assume by the results.

If a patch or pull request is sent but an internal contributor (the only internal contributor in Vim's case for a long time) reformatted it before merging then the same work is double-counted (if full history is kept) or only attributed to the reformatter (if history is squashed during/before merge).

This doesn't make the result wrong, of course, the tool is doing exactly what it says on the tin. But it does mean that, without reviewing the contribution process (current and past), you might need to be less definite¹, when stating a meaning derived from the result, because how the result is interpreted might not be quite right given the input data available.

There are some extensions proposed, but to this day all AP actors are controlled by the server. No ActivityPub software today is built in a way where the client can provide their own keys. They are all generated in the server.

Even the "Client-to-Server" AP spec is written in a way where the "client" does not interact with the outside web, but always initiates every interaction through the outbox hosted by the server.

I'm not saying this just for pedantry. I'm saying this because I actually wrote a server that implements ActivityPub according to the spec [0], and realized that identity portability is not possible unless you deliberately break away from the AP spec.

Almost every major third party app is using some private API or the other. There is even an internal list that Apple keeps of apps that are allowed to do. It’s quite trivial to bypass the App Store checks (which are quite bad and sometimes even flag legitimate use of system APIs).

Ask HN: Had you ever found Agile (a.k.a. SCRUM) to work?
I'm dealing with a head of product who is extremely process-driven. He's a stickler for Agile rituals - strict definitions of done, rigid meetings, and a "by the book" approach to SCRUM. His main concern is organizational discipline rather than the quality of our product, and it's starting to feel like it's stifling both flexibility and innovation. Now, he's even planning to bring on a full-time Scrum Master, even though our engineering team is just 10 engineers split across two product teams, each with its own manager.

Sometimes it feels like this focus on process is more about ideology than practical results - almost like Agile in theory is great, but in practice it can impede initiative and product evolution.

Have you ever seen Agile/SCRUM work well in the wild? What's your experience?
In the late 1990s, the most common method for distributing a package was by providing its source code as a tarball. You essentially had to run ./configure and make on every package. I believe ./configure does some of what the OP did in a clever way, checking for locally installed alternatives, etc. It’s still pretty cool, though. I didn’t think a malloc replacement would significantly improve performance.

In Lithuania, similar systems for banking have existed for a long time—especially code generators—as a method of authentication. In recent years, they have been widely adopted across various platforms, particularly government services, as a login method. Essentially, it functions as a digital ID.

What I originally meant was that I don’t see Apple’s reluctance to open up the iMessage ecosystem as an indication that they wouldn’t support a banking or government authentication system. I just don't understand the concern here.

It certainly could make sense to have a security setting that allows this capability to be controlled, in the same sort of way as allowing sites to access your geographic location. But simply saying "we should not allow" it is unrealistic and, frankly, pretty silly.

I think using your last name, counter intuitively makes discussion less civil.

In a form like this, if someone is insulted, it is just the idea and words that have been insulted.

When using your last name, it is the real person's identity that has been insulted. Then it goes both ways in a feedback loop involving two real people's real identity without the constraint that face to face confrontation would impose.

The only way to make that worse then would be to have ML algorithms running on top trying to nudge people to but heads for engagement.

Maybe we could design a system that is worse that in order to join you have tell someone using both real names that their newborn baby is ugly and instead of collecting a list of friends you collect a list of enemies.

That involves at least three steps - select the element in question, highlight all the text (which may not always be as simple as pressing Ctrl-A), then press Ctrl-V.

> I still haven't seen any good reasoning for why NASA would delay the return flight

So many comments spread unsourced assertions on the topic on both sides. Let me change that.

On 24 Aug 2024, NASA stated in a conference published on X[0]:

> NASA has decided that Butch and Suni will return with Crew-9 next February.

So the decision sounded like it stemmed from NASA, and the plan a year ago was for a return in the time frame that actually occurred.

On 28 Sept 2024, the spacecraft that would bring Ms Williams and Mr Wilmore was launched. They restated the same plan[1]:

> A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and a Dragon spacecraft will launch Crew-9 to the space station for about a five-month mission. Hague and Gorbunov will join Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who are already aboard the space station, and all will return to Earth as a crew of four in February 2025.

Thus there was no action after Mr Trump took office that changed the plan.
(Note that the SpaceX article we’re commenting on has a mistake, stating that Mr Grebenkin has come down on 18 March, but Mr Grebenkin came down on 25 Oct; it is indeed Gorbunov that came down.)

On 7 March 2025, Ken Bowersox, associate administrator, Space Operations Mission Directorate, stated[2] on the motivation for this:

> When it comes to adding on missions or bringing a capsule home early: those were always options but we ruled them out pretty quickly just based on how much money we've got in our budget and the importance of keeping crews on the International Space Station.

When asked specifically about a request from Mr Musk to have an earlier return:

> Was anyone outside NASA or the White House involved in the decision not to bring Suni and Butch back sooner? — There may have been some conversations that I wasn't part of. When we made the technical decisions about Starliner […] our leadership at NASA was trying to make sure that we considered everything just at a technical level and that's what we did.

For this use case you really care about reducing the lifetime total cost of ownership, which means making the bike as reliable, serviceable, and repairable as possible. I love e-bikes, but IME they have a long way to go to get to same level as normal bikes in this regard. It's good that the bikes in the article are locally-built, but I'd like to know whether or not they emphasize using standardized parts with high availability.
Nothing is being done because it’s not an actual issue. No one is dying from being hit by delivery bikes. They are just annoying.

Meanwhile elderly drivers regularly have incidents that kill entire families and we shrug and say nothing can be done.
I have aliases for these kinds of general things (in vim) for most languages i use. Eg. if im inside a typescript file i have a mapping produces if ($obj) { $ } and i tab to enter the next "$" to insert the correct things.

The same goes fo Go. I have a mapping for if err != nil { ... } and the cursor is places inside the block.

I dont understand why people dont use this kind of thing for the most common programming constructs.
