Do you have some source of this criticism? I am also a member of one of these initiatives, and I imagine a lot depends on the specific cooperative. Is this coming from your personal experience? > The lack of knowledge (or wilful ignoranc

I don't think the title is editorializing or bashing. Gnome is going to break all extensions, which is literally in the article. And this is rather newsworthy.

The concept of native plants is both highly important and deeply problematic. It is much more convoluted than how it is explained in the article. Once you start digging into it, you find out there isn't actually a sound definition and

Chef and puppet are fairly big ones though. Other than config management, I think this is true. Rails is king in ruby land.

How does this affect farmers specifically? In fact, it does not.

You may find it hard to believe, but some people care about the inequality with the global South too.

Thank you, well put. I think that one of the things that make it hard, is not always knowing exactly what overhead can and what can't be eliminated (and how). This might be why its more helpful to just call it all waste (lean) to have

As I said, it is management speak, coming from Lean. I didn't make this up. In my country Lean is hugely influential in all kinds of domains, not just in software development. Probably rivaling or surpassing Scrum. Maybe this isn'

You'll be positively surprised to read the conclusion of the article then: "The findings also offer a glimmer of hope that researchers can correct course and use these new insights to design much-improved treatments for schizophre

This media story isn't 'in the tradition' of vocally disliking psychiatric medication. You could twist the headline to be, possibly. Have you read the article itself? Its the complete opposite. The headline is a bit attention

The irony is too fine to get lost here, even though explaining it is a mood killer. Its funny I also missed it on first reading, which tells me have far this has gone. The web, internet, www, etc literally was a bunch of markup documents li

Can you give an example of a noxious weed that isn't a super useful pioneer? Where I live, some of the top 5 weeds that feed the most insects (notably dandelion and a thistle), are also among the top annoying weeds in agriculture and v

I find that hard to believe. Grasslands that are managed in the suggested way become nutrient poor and support way less life than a naturally grown forest. Everybody is eating from trees: nuts, fruit, leaves even the wood itself. A natural

And if you make a mistake that other people feel you really shouldn't have and it damages the thing, you get sued into oblivion.

I'm not sure I'm supporting the way things are, so I don't know exactly what is confusing. The comment I responded to has a fairly big assumption: that divorce is always a bad thing. I don't think that is a given. People

by Lutger 3y ago
Don't automatically assume the couples who divorce in this age would have been in a happy marriage in the past. I've been in both ages. As a kid, in a small village, nobody got divorced. Really, it was just not done, the concept w

There are also other jobs which truly benefit from in-person interactions, for example sales people basically are basically fueled by it. And in my experience there is a minority of people, also developers, who really enjoy working at the o

I recognize this problem, although my experience was a lot worse. It seems to me that this one is very, very hard for many people to realize: > Platform teams, however, need to build their services as products themselves, with a deep und

Working for 3 years and only refactoring, that's a whole new level of comedy. If you blame Fowler for this madness, then I see how you think his work is damaging. But its a bit like a health influencer telling people to stay hydrated a

Indeed. Historically these walls have been used in orchards, where they are ideal. The wall serves an important function: it buffers heat. This can make all the difference, especially in late frosts, which are doom for the bloom. Of course,

I'm not sure the users posting from an scientific denialism perspective are actually in tune with science, though I haven't bothered exploring their profiles. A lot of technology and engineering isn't really in tune with scie

The question explicitly invites the kind of witty reflection shown in the accepted answer, by adding: "and what do you think?" As mentioned elsewhere, this is an old question and both the kind of question and answer wouldn't

This rings true to me. The way scrum works in practice is a, forgive my language, perverse inversion where the process has become the goal and the outcomes are less important. I worked with 4 weeks, 2 weeks and 1 weeks sprints, and with &#x

by Lutger 3y ago
This is my biggest beef with deadlines in general and sprints in particular. The urgency is fake, but the cost is not. It is not 'free' to set a random deadline. You will pay with productivity and quality and cause stress. There i

by Lutger 3y ago
Sprints do give faster feedback, early value and autonomy, but only in contrast with planning the complete project upfront in utter detail and committing to a deadline. It's a compromise. Instead of planning a whole project we just do

It really, really hard to prove causation beyond doubt. If you have a strong correlation and a reasonable concern that it might be causal relationship, and we are talking about health impacts, at some point it is rational to use the precaut
