> Now you have to talk to project and product managers, who don't want to reinvent the wheel and thus impose structured information exchanges like planning on different time horizons (sprints, quarterly roadmaps, ..).

The people who don't write code also have an inherent bias to make their own contribution look as big as possible though because they want the most money. So do the people who write code as well I guess, which is the whole exercise of trying to make what we do as relevant as possible.

I don't think OP is saying don't talk to anyone. I think he is saying if there are three identified paths forward, stop spinning your wheels or have some non-technical person make a choice for you, implement all of them and let the data decide.

Disclaimer: I only skimmed the article and didn't read it properly. I felt like it is what the author would want me to do.

I've worked at a smaller project where it worked just fine. The key I think is to have the project be small enough to be able to fit in my head.

That and have an identical test server. I used to make changes locally, test it locally, then make the same change on test, have someone else look at it, get a lgtm, and do the same thing on the production machine. It sounds like a lot of steps but it is pretty straightforward.

Sadly, it probably doesn't work with bigger teams or more complicated projects.

They took away our access after one too many outages :yay:

not necessarily always. for some use cases, it is better to have slow coverage than no coverage. Not for phones but temperature sensors or water leakage detectors are just two examples of what we could use this for today. However, bigger innovation will happen once we make unlicensed spectrum available.

Personally, I don't like there being more licensed spectrum. I think more spectrum should be unlicensed and therefore free for all who play by the rules.

PFOF is so incredibly dirty that I can't believe it is legal. If you could explain it to all the voters without putting them to sleep, I am convinced most people would not support it. It may be legal but it is definitely unethical. That being said I can't see how else OP can payback YC without doing these shady things. At a dollar per user per month, even if every adult in the US joined, YC will probably shut down OP without a second thought if that was the only revenue possible.

> so people doing buy-and-hold index funds probably earn you less that way.

You will be constantly buying and selling because you need to rebalance your "index" every time the market moves... Once you go down this unethical rabbit hole, there are endless possibilities.

OP wrote

> The license language is almost the same as the AGPL, with changes regarding the SAAS stuff. So, not OSI approved? Yes, but I have issues calling the SSPL a closed license.

What is it that changed from AGPL in SSPL that was absolutely needed? Why can't we have an AGPL 1.1 or 2.0 if it is a breaking change? I am not saying anyirez is wrong. I would like to learn why this was necessary, if at all.

A good start would be a ban on ads based on who is viewing the ad vs what the content surrounding the ad is...

So, Casper mattress wants to have an ad spot in a podcast or a YouTube video in the video itself? That's ok.

YouTube wants to include an ad about a mattress in a video about home renovation? Also ok.

Stack overflow wants to show an ad for GitHub? Is ok to me.

YouTube wants to show an ad about Casper mattress based on whether someone has clicked on an ad about mattresses before? Banned!

This alone would be a great start.

It makes sense though if I think about it.

In theory, all the money wagered is money that has already paid income tax at some point so why tax it again?

That's not a good thing. From what I understand, a lot of "cheaper" bribes in India are for things that the government employees must do as a part of their jobs so like a bribe for these government employees to do their job basically which still filters up to the highest levels of government.

Why would you agree to stick your neck out for something illegal on the cheap when you can wring the ordinary people to do your job?

All this is based on second hand information so please correct me where I am wrong. Also probably things are different in different parts of the country?

> You may not write code anymore, but you are expected to know the system very thoroughly, otherwise you’ll be perceived as a glorified babysitter.

I think the way "experienced" managers do this is to not actually understand the technical work 100% but rather make your manager think you understand it 100%. Even as an individual contributor, I fail to fully understand all the changes my team is making. I can't imagine being 100% fully up to date with all the changes at are in flight, have landed, etc. and why. The best you can do is some kind of abstraction.

They call this "managing up" or something like that.

I want to go off a small tangent

> In Theory There Is No Difference Between Theory and Practice, While In Practice There Is

I for one used to believe in a cross functional team. I used to believe that everyone in a team should be able to do every task in the team. I still believe it somewhat but my ego is shattered.

I worked on one team where the lead believed in this more than I ever did. Consequently, I was doing tasks I sucked at and therefore didn't enjoy s lot more because as she said, it will help me improve.

Long story short, I didn't improve. I just got frustrated and I quit. I guess it was all fine from the leader's perspective as her team stayed the way she wanted anyway.

I went down this tangent to remind people that when things are going well, we can say a lot of things that are nice like kumbaya my lord but when things are tough is when our ideals and morals are actually put to the test.

When poop hits the fan, will leadership throw someone under the bus? Will team members feel like leadership will throw people under the bus? Kind of a difficult question that we can't answer until we are there and at that point it is too late.

Really glad to read there is a local story.

> Today, OCI images are the new cloud executables. By moving to OCI artifacts, all Fir apps will be using images with compatibility across different environments. This means you can build your application once, run it locally, and deploy it anywhere, without worrying about vendor lock-in or compatibility issues.

Is this something I can try out locally without signing up for heroku first?

Thank you. That makes much more sense. So this way once the data is on the AWS device it is Amazon.com's responsibility so the customer doesn't need to worry about the truck or whatever.

I wonder how this process worked in practice. Do you simply send your only one set of hard disks and hope for the best? Do you keep your original data on one set of disks, copy it to another set of disks and send it off? Do you make multiple copies of the same data and send them all together on the same truck? Multiple copies on multiple trucks? How would you do reconciliation on the other end once the disks arrive at the destination?

Like everything feels so simple and straightforward from afar but once I try to actually reason about something even the simplest of tasks feels complicated.

On the flip side, I've seen "funny" videos from Japan where there is staff at the stations who push passengers in to fit everyone as much as possible?

Don't judge a book by the cover is an advice for us, the readers. It is NOT an advice for the writers or the marketing department.

a tasteful public domain image of a crab or something like hundreds of years old but then detailed enough kind of like one of those O'Reilly's books and then make the whole cover white with some text that stands out... It has all been done before and I anal but I doubt O'Reilly's can copyright or trademark that design feeling.

Edit: unless the authors are trying to crowd source the proof reading and peer review by releasing an early access copy? This cover draws attention from the average reader who is drawn to comment about the book because there is something to criticize? Maybe this is some kind of advanced 3D chess?

I don't think I understand what allowed means in this context because on my OnePlus Nord phone, I have an app called GPS Test which shows me that I have so many GPS, so many GLONASS, and so many Galileo in view.

Strange thing is there is no Chinese GNSS in view. (I was on a short trip to Bali recently and iirc I did see Chinese GNSS on the app while there so I think the app and phone hardware is capable of picking up Chinese GNSS?).

You make me wonder, are these systems programmed to fall back to Galileo EU, Russian Or Chinese (mainland) GNSS at all? Should we fall back to systems controlled by other countries?

To play the devil's advocate, imagine if politicians (US senators / House members) could live for and hold their positions for a thousand years... I don't know if that is a good thing.

Or Xi of Mainland China...

I can't help but wonder if this requirement if secrecy for a big bang marketing event that is called wwdc is to blame as well. At least the different teams working in the same product should have access to the complete product, right?

I don’t get it. He said gripe to his superior but he is basically kissing ass?

> The value in excess wealth is what you can do with it. You can find a person in need and hand them a thousand dollars for fun. You can fund some program your town needs. You can build a "third space" for your community. There's so much you can do with wealth that isn't just hoarding it!

Thank you for your kindness. However, you can't become and definitely won't stay a billionaire if you give away your money.

In practical terms, you don't want strangers in your home. There are some bad people in this world. https://old.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/24vo34/whats_the...

> The idea that piracy helps audiences find and then buy the stuff they like, is also, for the most part, wishful thinking.

You are thinking logically. Humans are NOT logical.

In some other countries, Politicians hold huge banquets right before election day. Lots of people eat at these banquets. They could go vote for someone else after eating the free food because it is a secret ballot. However, overwhelmingly those who got to eat the free food will vote for the people who reliably show up to feed them every election. Why? Because humans are not logical.

Same applies here. You'd think people have already gotten free books or music or whatever. But if they like something, they want to be a part of it. Even if they don't personally pay for it, If they really like it, they will share it with others. Who in turn will likely pay for it.

Also I remember something profound I read when I was younger. The opposite of love isn't hate, it is apathy. The fear for anything that is worthy of copyright isn't piracy, it is being irrelevant and forgotten, out of the zeitgeist. If piracy can keep something relevant, it is worth the cost.

I didn't realize this. I used to submit so many "portals" to ingress T_T

I think there should be an input filter that if it sees a watermark refuses to use that input and continues with the next input

That's the point. Yubikey can charge a premium on the assumption that what it sells is secure. If it sells old stock with known issues, what's the point?

Also I returned my yubikey to my $work when my contract ended so I know at least Microsoft reuses these keys.

I think it is also important to note here that apparently not all humans understand humor either or understand it differently or something.

I got really excited for a second for people who need to work on a lab thinking they will be able to work from home now...

It provides benefits to eligible women and children under five

https://www.fns.usda.gov/wic/applicant-participant/eligibili...

We can't even do something simple that I would like to see happen — make WIC universal with no conditions. It already covers about half of all children so it basically only doubles the budget. We can afford it and it saves so much time and energy trying to police the system.

Another one is free of cost universal pre-K. A lot of women can't go to work because there is nobody at home to take care of their children. But really the easiest lowest hanging fruit is universal WIC. Make it available to everyone so it is easier for us to tell people to get it.
