Yeah, Win 2000 is still my favorite Windows version, UX wise.

Clean, concise, no surprises, dependable.

No, because the achievement, the mastery behind it is not obliterated in the next few years, by the upcoming iterations of newer smartwatches.

Smartwatches, Phones, (most) Cars, TVs, ... all of these are mass produced, and as such completely obsolete in a few years, even if they are sold as "premium" products for a month's salary.

Unique, manufactured Design pieces are... timeless. It's a piece of art. And I say this without any inclination to ever join that market.

I think just because this startup botched OKRs they still make a lot of sense.

Intel and Google apparently relied on them heavily in their formative years. But:

- they should be cascading (so conflicting OKRs between departments should not happen)

- you should never, ever tie them to individual performance results/compensation/rewards

I can totally relate to the premise of the blog post. Thinking (for most people) benefits from some sort of free form scribbling and drawing to make sense of it, and realize what you're missing. At least for me it makes a huge difference.

I remember reading a tip more than a decade ago from a senior developer, that you should always have pen and paper next to your keyboard, to take notes, visualize problems, keep notes of where you are. Most of the thinking happens there.

When I'm working on bigger things alone, it helps me keep track or the bigger picture, how to keep separation of concern und understand where my abstractions started leaking.

Moving that pen and paper to digital unfortunately was never low-barrier for me. I thought about acquiring a reMarkable for that purpose, but it isn't perfect either.

I used excalidraw in the past, but it also does not integrate too well with my environment.

Now, with everyone being remote I would really love to have something that not only replaces my own scribbling and conceptualizing, but also serves as "whiteboard" for collaboration. I clearly clearly miss the whiteboard when discussing abstract things/ideas/problems with peers.

The app mentioned in the post seems a little abandoned unfortunately. Does someone out there use something similar?

Unfortunately Miro really is not too great with a Wacom on Desktop:(

While I agree with what you wrote

> [...] GPUs that run HDMI over DVI [...]

I thought HDMI and DVI use the same signalling (at least the 'digital part' of DVI, was it DVI-D?), just over a different connector?

In my memory only the connectors competed for adoption, and Home Entertainment industry opted for HDMI and the PC-industry opted for DVI, while the signalling was not contested (besides DVI also being able to carry analog signalling with full spin-out, and HDMI carrying audio instead). My memory might not serve me well here though.

I never thought HDMI would win :( but it makes sense I guess - Computers/their use changed :(

It's not that clear cut it seems.

For private drivers it is not illegal per se. But if you have an accident, they (police, prosecution, insurance) will quickly blame it on unfit shoewear.

There is (legally accepted) consensus in Germany and Austria that a regular, closed shoe without heels gives you best control.

Barefoot is IMHO treated unfairly, if you're used to drive barefoot. And living in a country where people wear shoes most of the time, they will assume you're not used to it.

Very illegal in most of the EU AFAIK

The point is that those "essential functions" never go out of context.

Even with Linux (where the manufacturer could fine-tune) if they want to, the story isn't much better.

The performance/power gains come from the own ARM-chips and a OS/build system/framework fine tuned to make use of that

There is plenty of words written on what the difference is between leading and managing.

True leaders are role models, not higher-ups, the ones where authority comes from competence, not position, showing the way, not just telling what to do, facilitating self-organization, giving direction, prioritizing, giving vision and perspective, not orders, fostering intrinsic motivation.

From skimming it seems it is feature wise very similar to yadm.

Good, because I am a fan of yadm, but I also don't feel the need to switch ;)

Die Blinklichter, if anything.

This still reflects badly on the leader:

- Stuff going on you're not aware of?

- Things spiraling out of control/becoming self-directed?

- You forgetting what you did or said a few months/years ago, and getting mad on others in consequence?

- Your intentions not well understood?

All of this is on you (the leader). That's reason for resignation.

The behavior around it is just childish IMO. I wonder how this affects him being able to do his job.

> “Today I learned that we have a sustainability team,” Mullenweg said.

If this is true: Is there any possible explanation for such a statement where leadership comes out unscathed?

Yes, but you can check for "DO NOT SUBMIT" with automation.

You can't automate checking for random strings, right?

That's why I don't see e.g. TP-Link basing their router firmware on OpenWRT as a win, and why I want the "vanilla" upstream project (or something that tracks upstream by design) running on my devices.

Applies to all of my devices btw. I don't like Android having to use an old kernel, I didn't like MacOS running some ancient Darwin/BSD thing, etc. The required effort for backporting worries me.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying OSS has no vulns.

Depends on what you're aiming for.

If we talk about ultra-low-power platforms, e.g. energy-harvesting IoT devices, 1MB is still quite a lot.

If we are going to argue that Rust can compete with C/C++, it needs to have similar performance, also regarding binary size.

IIRC in its initial version it was never "mesh", but more like fixed multi-hop routes over one or two intermediate nodes (i.e. no route discovery)

It's not hilarious.

And I'm not offended. I just have zero idea what your issue is. I never gave it any second thought what gender the person is. I don't care and I wonder what you're reading into it.

Inclusion goes both ways?

On a serious note: What are you on about?

Standing on the shoulders of giants

I almost forgot about Vic! He hasn't been relevant for quite some time though, right?

Are you suggesting his influence still lingers?

I think here is the common misunderstanding:

No one says Agile can't have full blown requirements or the respective documents.

To the contrary, you can't expect your dev to understand what he has to write without giving him a goal he is working on - Agile won't fix that.

Agile just means you build in small steps from what you have and review your steps ASAP, instead of working multiple months based on some detailed documents, derived from other documents, written by some other department months ago, building stuff no one wanted in the first place.

Yeah, right. Since if there is snowfall we get out of the car and shoo the flakes away. Or scream at the sun to stop blinding us.

Humans have something called perception and cognition, we can make sense of things we don't see.

AFAIK we don't have cameras yet that can do that. We need better sensors.

That's the essence of fusion.

GitHub workflow != GitHub

Also, I think if you selfhost GitHub (Enterprise) I think your problem disappears also?

That really depends on your tire and rim.

Having low profile tires with light rims like those used on performance variants of Teslas and ID.3s/ID.4s/eTrons I would avoid curbs for sure.

Well, all of what I said does not apply if you're used to it I guess? ;)

Yes!

And wouldn't it be preferable if you were so connected to your coworkers that you could say that (maybe not in these exact words), and either have better meetings, or be free to leave this particular meeting?

Do you really prefer sitting for hours in anonymous meetings, working on something else, just so you were "there", but not "there"?

You could work significantly better without all that nonsense in the background, right? Maybe even discussing important things?

And idea what is holding you back?
