Exactly. A good scrum master shields the team from the bureaucracy, facilitates the meetings while keeping them targeted and on-topic, and keeps everything running instead of slowing it down. They also coach the team in self-organisation.
There are far too many people that call themselves scrum masters that are actually just pressurising ticket managers.
The biggest problems with scrum, in my experience, are when the managers and directors don’t understand it and ruin it. I’ve been a few places that implemented SAFe, but to this day I don’t know what SAFe actually is beyond waterfall with pointless sprints. I’ve worked in a couple of places where the directors kept their noses out and scrum worked really well.
I signed up years ago when quite a few TV programs I watched would make announcements on Twitter, like when new series were starting and that type of thing. I also liked the idea of following certain institutions and celebs to keep up with their announcements. I was quite disappointed when I noticed a lot of info passing me by - I had encountered the algorithm.
I hadn’t logged in for years, and thought I had deleted my account, until just now when I tried it and found it still active. So, I just deactivated it and in 30 days it will be gone for good.
Especially in ML too. It’s currently easier to integrate multiple small specialised models than to train a big model for every use case. If I understand correctly, that was one of the main motivations for Anthropic developing the Model Context Protocol, including interacting with LLMs from front-end clients.
Putin also knows how strong Europe would be with Ukraine, which is likely why he is so hell bent on destabilising the bloc and taking Ukraine for himself. The sad part is it seems to be working for him. Even if he doesn’t get Ukraine the way he hoped, the campaign to destabilise the bloc is worrying.
It makes sense to me that, since evolution is all about survival of the fittest, we have selfishness built-in. There are species that benefit from a collective collaboration, but if a few individuals in a colony abuse the colony’s nature they can win big.
I often wonder if the great filter is about a species shrugging off the selfish side of their survival instincts, and learning to trust in the strength of a colony.
The existence of billionaires suggests that we are not there yet. The good willed among us need to learn intolerance for the selfish to prosper long enough to break through the filter.
The racist scum never went away, they just felt less confident to speak their warped minds openly. Trump and his MAGA cultists have emboldened the scum to be more overt with their hate. It’s really depressing to see society slide backwards like this. We need to stay strong and weather the storm in the hope that when some kind of normality returns these folk are held to account.
The email analogy holds up in this case: you can’t log in to your gmail account with your protonmail credentials, but gmail users can send emails to protonmail users.
I’m holding out hope that discounts wont work this time, because the motivation is different. It used to be about cost, now it’s about digital sovereignty. I won’t bet anything of value, but I can hope.
Interesting. I knew the stuff about Munich, and I knew Gates was still a shareholder, but didn’t know he was still so actively involved. Based on that last link, it sounds more like he’ll be telling Nadella to get on a plane and what to say on arrival rather than get on it himself though.
Nadella you mean? It’s been a while since Gates was CEO of Microsoft.
The “do more with less” philosophy doesn’t make sense here either. Why not “do loads more with same”?
Imagine the current workforce, with all the experience and domain knowledge, paired with AI instead of replaced by it. Humans can do such awesome things when we work together.
These billionaires can be so short-sighted sometimes. All profit and no vision.
Yes, the difference in temperature is interesting, I don’t want to seem dismissive of that. Just the choice of wording was also interesting.
Lisbon is in Portugal btw. (But that doesn’t change the distances.)
It’s still an odd way to compare temperatures:
They also developed their own Rust UI library and open-sourced it.
I also suspect that Doritos dipping cheese is closer to a fossil fuel than a dairy product. I still eat it though.
Good info here. The only thing I disagree with is turning to rpm-ostree if flatpak doesn’t have something. There is an officially preferred order and the ostree overlays are last resort. It will work short term but might cause headaches during future updates.

I love Bazzite. It’s a great distro and I want it to do well, so this is something I hope the noob guides start making a bit more noise about, because otherwise some of the recent Windows refugees might have problems down the line.
Norwegian Blues are quiet and chilled out, so I hear.
