JIRA is infinitely customizable. That often results in abysmal performance. For the same reason, managers often love it so they can model their workflow to the point.

There are various command line clients and you can build your own tools with the REST API. I wrote a simple command line script that outputs my time tracking on JIRA issues because our time tracking tool (that read the data from JIRA) is ev

At least it doesn't suck as much as Bugzilla. Apparently you can only get "loads fast" or "is usable" and not both. But when in doubt, I'll choose usable.

If you read the thread on the mailing list, the maintainer of the branch took it as constructive criticism and FWIW the followup of Linus didn't use any insulting phrases. It wasn't apparently the first blunder on their part (even

Note though that he insulted the patch and not the person who coded it or the maintainer of the branch.

Even then I never got the nagging feeling out of my head that Zaphod would have had the same reaction in the real device. That's why it was even remotely believable at all.

How did you get a PS2 to play then? Also note that there are thousands of games that are free to play on PCs. There are even lots of old commercial games that can be downloaded for free now, legally. Just because you can't afford a par

Getting a console for playing modern games on is a one time cost of $300 to $500. Such a console will be good for several years to come. Getting free games per month or even getting access to a back catalogue of games with Game Pass or Play

Gaming is already one of the cheaper hobbies. Going through the hassle of wasting time and nerves to pirate games that are very cheap to get after a few months after release or in sales is beyond my comprehension.

That's the 1% of the 1%. There is only a handful of games that earn even remotely that much.

Games are not apps. At least not for your average user. And then you still can only charge a single digit (or at most a low 2 digits) amount of dollars. There's no way you can charge as much as AAA titles with iOS games.

Sure, that's why we had crappy GPU before crypto currencies. Gamers had to put off buying new GPU because they were misused for POW. Ask them about the "incentivized GPU production".

by bhaak 4y ago
Ethereum had about 80-90% of the whole hashrate of GPU mineable coins. The next biggest one was ETC with about 5% of the hashrate of Ethereum. They can't go all to other coins. It won't be profitable.
