Qvault, a computer science learning company, publishes tutorials on cryptography, testing, and programming, plus opinion pieces on the industry.
HN commenters mostly mention it because its founder posts about the site and asks for feedback; the given comments offer no verdict on the posts.
> Sprints are useful like achievements in video games are useful; they make us feel warm and fuzzy inside. Motivation is a powerful tool, don’t misunderstand me. The problem is that those warm fuzzies are mostly for the sake of the management team. It makes leaders feel in control and informed. They know exactly what was done and when it was completed.
Sprints are used to reduce risk "that the wrong thing is delivered", to make sure end to end functionality is considered as soon as possible.
And yes, it may not be easy to find a vertical slice the fits in a sprint, but you can push for it.
Thus this summary is too generic...
> Scrum (noun) - 1. [software] Any good process that works good
Scrum is not a binary thing. It is a method that guides a team to produce tangible increments of the product quickly to inform the further development. I.e the idea is that you can and must pivot a lot during development of multi month effort.
So if you are 100% sure about the requirements, waterfall development/ frozen requirements, is the most efficient way to produce a thing, zero meetings needed, no adaptions needed.
The only problem is that most software development environment do not provide a high enough certainty, and that in the end big course corrections are needed when the outcome is finally produced/testing or integrated.
Scrum opts for smaller corrections spread through out the development, yes there is overhead. It is a trade-off.
And like everything else Scrum/Agile…
Any particular reason this was article was posted on multiple sites, and multiple URLs with their dates redirect to this one? Seems a little weird that it "was posted" today, when really it was posted multiple times.
Yes, I realize it's the same author, doesn't make it any less weird. I bring it up because I'm not sure why qvault just keeps reuploading the same article and changing the date.

There still exists a fork of the Riju project on github which I have cloned locally.
I would be more interested in running all of these languages in wasm and the execution state can be live migrated between the server and the client, that would be something that could surpass other online repls.

Repl.it has no standing to code written by Radon.
Hold on - I thought that AES fell into the category of encryption systems that wasn't vulnerable (for the forseeable future) to quantum attacks. I swear a ton of really smart people I follow on twitter claimed that it wasn't, and that it was all the public key/factoring stuff that would collapse.

I've never really given microcopy thought... I probably need to look into that. I'm actually really struggling with copy and messaging right now on https://qvault.io. If anyone on here takes a peek at the landing page I would love to hear feedback!
I had a similar experience, not that I got rejected, but that I didn't like their content very much. I made https://qvault.io to focus on computer science. I'd actually love to chat with you, we could potentially collaborate or something :)
