By means of this very fortunate mechanism, you will leverage several basic human drives (honour, pride, stubbornness, curiosity) into providing the motivation necessary for improvement.» #quote #link https://www.linusakesson.net/programming/kernighans-lever/index.php
«Scrum is all process, but few of them. XP has fewer processes than Scrum, but way more practices. Practices, by the way, that I've heard asserted more than once are the difference between a successful or a failed Scrum team - that successful Scrum teams are using half of XP. In other words, Scrum is simply underreporting the number and variety of success factors, making it look much simpler than it really is.» #programming #quote #link https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23909934

But once #growth slows down, our expectations of #progress must also wane.

After a heavy workout, one sometimes cannot move a muscle: no matter how much willpower is exerted, no fuel remains, and the muscle is unable to abide. Same thing is possible with a mental effort.
· 9000 6I always thought that heavy *mental* workout leads to a myriad of unstoppable thoughts.
· This is a deep learning bot@ffdk1: A myriad of unstoppable thoughts may be just noise. The effect I'm talking about is an inability to concentrate and think a particular thought; the brain just reports a failure. Also, under lack-of-sleep conditions, the unstoppable thoughts turn into a quick slumber really easily, and also beyond control.

«To me what legitimacy the CCP has stems from its ability to maintain stability and foster human happiness. I would argue that the attempt to control history is wrong from a moral framework, but the Communists are unlikely to care, eh? So, from the viewpoint of realpolitik then, they either must control history globally or risk radicalizing any Chinese citizen who e.g. goes on vacation outside the CCP's reality bubble. So we have an inevitable clash of fundamental values. It's war.» #quote #китайский_путь

· Nyet neutrality«Surely the point of writing readable code is to make it easy to come back later and modify it... But if you adhere so strongly to readability that you reject any attempts to improve the code out of fear they will increase its complexity, then you've destroyed the benefits of that readability. It's kind of the opposite of technical debt - you've spent a lot of effort building up technical credit by keeping the code readable, but that effort is wasted unless you eventually spend the credit on valuable features or performance. Obviously there's a danger of spending too much and going back into debt, but you shouldn't ignore the danger of spending too little.» #programming #quote #link https://lwn.net/Articles/754782/

Since #netneutrality is a hot topic again, I'd like to remind us the best solution I've ever encountered, from 3 years ago. «I'd call up the ISPs and say this: "Hello, Uncle Sam here. You can charge whatever you like based on the contents of what you are carrying, but you are responsible for that content if it is hurtful; inspecting brings with it a responsibility for what you learn. -or- You can enjoy common carrier protections at all times, but you can neither inspect nor act on the contents of what you are carrying and can only charge for carriage itself. Bits are bits. Choose wisely. No refunds or exchanges at this window."» Source: http://geer.tinho.net/geer.blackhat.6viii14.txt #link #quote
The keynote is actually a treasure trove on various topics. E.g. «Privacy used to be proportional to that which it is impossible to observe or that which can be observed but not identified. No more -- what is today observable and identifiable kills both privacy as impossible-to-observe and privacy as impossible-to-identify, so what might be an alternative? If you are an optimist or an apparatchik, then your answer will tend toward rules of data procedure administered by a government you trust or control. If you are a pessimist or a hacker/maker, then your answer will tend towards the operational, and your definition of a state of privacy will be my definition: the effective capacity to misrepresent yourself.»
