Very good analogy! Actually it isn't even an analogy its more like the hard science.

Appropriation is bullshit, cultures should be allowed to freely copy from and imitate each other without restriction.

Yep like I said. Even the wikipedia page has a power point slide on it.

Don't worry, there is no actual technical thing called architecture, its a management topic.

"virtualization, concurrency, and persistence" I would have said something like memory management, interrupt handlers and system calls.

Heh weird. 15 years ago my job was porting apps the other way. Turning lisp desktop apps into lisp web apps with cl-http. Of course that was hard. Turning a web app into a desktop app is just a matter of embedding a browser. The other way a

Be interesting to compare this to some Indian cities.

Did you read it? Their example Unix was OS X.

No it means the exam was way too easy. 90% of the questions were giveaways. If its ok to fail 400 out of 1000 students doing English, then its ok to fail 4 out of 10 doing Latin. Once you adjust for the easiness of the exam, he actually did

I wonder what sort of correlation there really is between learning the enemies language and winning a war against them. This big army doesn't win wars because it holds itself back for political reasons. It is not that hard. You have to

Hope it has a very wide viewing angle, or I will have to get creative when watching porn.

Plus it needs mechanical switches. Otherwise it is just a low-end device.

Man Forbes is an annoying site, I try to scroll down to the comments, and before the comments load it jumps to another story. But anyway, its a bad idea. The sort of people that care about quality know that beats are absolute shit. They get

Yes, I think it should be. I think most things on the site qualify, but not all. However your second statement is a mischaracterization. It is not "entirely" combative or offensive. I just think that is the essential ingredient be

A true hacker would be pleased at the idea of making a potential business partner uncomfortable about his talents, and relish the challenge of meeting their goals despite that discomfort.

by StudyAnimal 13y ago
Does anyone think the former should be considered a good description of a hacker? To me it is someone using their intelligence, to do something clever (or at least in a clever way) to disrupt or destroy something, make someone uncomfortable
78.
by StudyAnimal 13y ago
So what is the other type of hacker then? And is the difference really substantial enough to warrant a separate word?
79.
by StudyAnimal 13y ago
I used to think there were two separate uses of the word, and one was less correct than the other. I used to insist people distinguish between a good "hacker" and an evil "cracker". Now I understand the essence of the te

Nah, graphics are as good as your graphics card but it isn't as fun to play as other previous versions, and the small city size is just one of the main issues with it. There is just something missing, I get bored with it real quick.

What is the current situation in towns like Maastricht and Heerlen that decided to implement the residents only restriction? Was that rolled back or not?

I found it interesting they didn't mention anything about his career at MS since being on the NT team in 92.

Most of the criticisms aren't really the fault of Kanban itself though. Who did they bring in to help them with Kanban? It is no substitute for all the things you rightfully claimed were missing.

It may be in some cases. In many cases people are quite open about the hybrid nature of their process and the reasons for it.

by StudyAnimal 13y ago
I think most teams using agile, or developing software with some agile practices are in fact working within a hybrid process, where the requirements gathering and analysis, the writing of offers and contracts, and sometimes the delivery of

by StudyAnimal 13y ago
Just because there is no process labelled "Agile" doesn't mean it is meaningless to talk about "doing Agile". What if doing 100% XP by the book turns out to not be ideal or doing 100% Scrum by the book turns out to

Presumably the reverse is also true. I guess boys don't want ponies and princesses either, and now that I think about it, boys are portrayed slightly negatively in e.g. Barbie movies. Just market segmentation I guess.

I have a Galaxy Nexus, skipped the Nexus 4, so am treating this as a signal to upgrade. Although I leading towards the Note 3 at the moment... Will definitely consider the Nexus 5 once it is out though. Although I only got around to putting
