The tweet you link didn’t indicate that. It said that an engine failure likely caused the overrun, running for 127 seconds instead of the planned 84. Why would something have a 2^7 int size check?
Edit: Quoted
The head of Roscosmos Yuri Borisov said that the main cause of the #Luna25 crash was an engine failure. Instead of the planned 84 seconds, he worked 127 seconds.
Am I missing something?
Unfortunately, trends are trends. I wonder if we can get people to use the open source live captions application that futo sponsored recently. At very least we can get reasonably high quality captions, as well as a full transcript automatically generated with each video. Live captions is done with a locally running AI so you don’t have to reach out to any third parties or share data to use it.
JIRA is just an issue tracker.
Nope, I mean at it’s core, yes it is, but it’s used for sooooooo much more than that. It enables management from a far distance, and that disencentivices managers from doing their job.
I get the premise, that tools just exist and it’s us that put our own biases in them. But that looses a lot of nuance when a tool is specifically built for a purpose, such as oversight, tracking, and data collection. These design decisions take an “issue tracker” far away from what Trello, or a whiteboard with stickies on it for that matter, does.
It is a grave mistake to think that it’s just an issue tracker, and that’s all it can be. I’ve been in this industry long enough not to fall for that con. And it is a con, when someone manipulates you using a tool that is designed to make manipulation easier (I’M not telling you to point every story even if it doesn’t make sense. But you know… Jira wants it, it’s just… Outa my hands…).
Nah, Jira is for managers, not developers, and is far more than a simple issue tracker.
Nah, I also hate Jira. It’s slow, bloated, complicated, and has 1000x features I, as a developer, don’t need.
But then again, I also hate the manager that makes me use it in ways that frustrate me.
But then again, the reason my manager loves Jira and wants me to use it that way, is that they can run a bunch of automated reports like “We did X work this week, consuming Y hours (Or points or whatever) and we predict that we will be done in Z timeframe”.
Buuuuuut, that’s all bullshit. Garbage data in, garbage reports out. Jira gives managers the CONFIDENCE that they know what’s going on, instead of just talking to developers, having conversations, etc. As it turns out, programming is hard, and doesn’t have clear A->B->C predictability. So those tasks that are left? non-exhaustive. Those hours we did? Didn’t take into account the thousand little things that didn’t go into the backlog (And would take longer to add it than to just do the work and ignore the extra time spent on the task). That burndown chart? Completely useless.
Jira is used to skirt around the complexity of software development. It enables bad management to exist much easier, because it allows said managers to not engage with the team or product in any meaningful way, then to push up the chain “progress reports” that are meaningless, then, when deadlines are passed, managers get to blame it on the developers for not tracking enough work in Jira.
Jira enables bad management.
On the other hand, bad managers abuse every tool they are given, and bad managers existed before Jira, just instead of automated reports, they had email reports and hand tracked hours. So whatever, the tool was built to service a broken industry anyway.
This user is already getting ratiod, but for anyone who thinks this is a reasonable comment…
So… Twitter is now owned by a dictator that now claims that ‘cis gender’ is a slur. Seems like he is barreling towards fascism to me. Facebook is owned by, maybe not a fascist, but someone that allows fascist content on their platform in order to increase revenue. They even admit that it is good for business. The AI researchers at Facebook trying to reduce fascist content were fired because they were actually effective, but would loose the company money. They also own threads, the twitter alternative. The Reddit CEO has used authoritarian methods to undo protesting on the platform. Sounds like it’s going in the wrong direction…
Even so, the united states performs human rights violations all the time, inside the US, and outside using the military. You don’t see CEOs and politicians denouncing the USA after committing human rights violations, do you? Do you know all of the Chinese politician opinions on the matter?
If you want to avoid all forms of authoritarianism, you could live under a rock. The fact of the matter is that open source and decentralization is the absolute best way to avoid authoritarianism, no matter who writes the code. Fork it if you don’t like it.
Dude quit being a dick. You work for Facebook or something? This is a real conversation. This isn’t reddit, this isn’t facebook, this isn’t twitter. We don’t just dunk on people here.
Unfortunately, I believe the embrace, extend extinguish, model needs to be taken into account.

Here is some food for thought, if you or anyone else hasn’t seen it yet.
Looking at it pessimistically the documentation is simply going to be gpt reading the latest code commits and breaking down the changes in a “documented changes” doc lol.
Damn, 26 people, let’s assume they get paid reasonably well, though they probably aren’t all developers. I’m going to assume 100K on average, just spit balling.
That’s two and a half million dollars per year to build a terminal (very conservative estimate). And, like, does it reeeeealy do more then other terminals? Especially when you include different shells with plugins? AI, it’s so hot right now, but it is better than zsh or fish autocomplete? I built the simplest AI shell script to ask GPT-4 questions, easy, many FOSS options already out there, is that not good enough for people?
Yeah, I’m just having trouble figuring out how this isn’t a waste of time and will implode when seed funding dries up.
I will never be able to get behind a subscription-based terminal, with so much competition in the FOSS space for terminals, there’s just no reason to.
Analytics software like that has made my professional life so annoying at many times.

As someone who has seen quite a lot of illusions, I haven’t seen this one yet somehow. Very interesting.
“Help, help, he’s measuring my velocity!” is my new favorite line
In my personal experience I have gotten much more praise from Big Corp company when the work I did was more visible to management. The best work I’ve ever done was completely ignored because it was more technical and difficult for management to understand what the work was about.
And it wasn’t just about explaining the work, it just wasn’t that interesting to people who aren’t technical.
It was after getting an award for doing some extremely easy work, that I realized that it’s much more important that you communicate what you do, than actually doing useful work. And this sucks real bad, because if you do good work, it means you have to spend a bunch of time outside of that work just explaining it and acting like it’s a big deal, and you can easily beat the system by overrepresenting easy work, because you have a lot more time to explain what you did.
Just my experience with my Big Corp, it may not be quite like that everywhere.

Fediverse is old-school internet! With some twists of course, but having new school social media in a decentralized way is great. The good & bad thing is there’s a higher filter for getting on, so people here are nerdy and techy, but most ‘normals’ might not take the time.
Ah I think it’s Twitter’s new thing where you can’t see replies of your not logged in.
