I have to agree here. While I really love this game, the increasing hostility of the environment really drags the game down.

I'm the same. It has never once recommended something I'd actually consider watching. And the rest of the UI is so openly user-hostile that I can't bear using it. In particular, playing video if I pause too long on any on

If I hadn't been looking here, I might never have known. Yes, I'm bragging.

I really enjoyed it. I liked the style, presentation, and the projects. Sedgwick clearly knows his stuff. The textbook is a classic, and the "booksite" is crammed with extra stuff.

Welp, that's the end of my 2011 Macbook Air. Sigh. There are already 6 incompatible updates out. Plus the recent iOS update ended support for my iPhone, so that's on the way to joining my iPad and iPod Touch.

Clickbait headline: "Almost one-fifth of Britons 'do not use internet'" Non-clickbait version: "over 80% of Britons use internet" How is that not clear? 80% internet usage is pretty good, not bad as the headli

Or perhaps it's better to phrase it "over 80% of Britons use internet".

Ugh. I keep getting obnoxious recruit spam from the most entitled, self-important jerks. The latest was some idiot on LinkedIn who sent an invitation with a job offer in the text, so I didn't even need to accept their invitation for

Ugh. I have to go through this all the time. Boss asks for estimates for things I haven't looked into. I tell him I don't know. He pesters me for a guess, which I refuse. Round and round we go...

I've never understood how people think pair programming is a good thing. Unless you're working with a junior and training them, it's ridiculous to have two people sharing a single keyboard and trying to code together.

We unfortunately have some Agile/Scrum cultists who bring everything to a grinding halt with their mindless adherence to their view of how it should be done. Completely paralyzes our team when they start bloviating.

We had had our priorities completely shifted, we changed POs twice in just a few weeks, and our previous work plans were tossed out. We met daily to build up the backlog, then had our priorities changed completely again , and invalidated

Meetings? Sure. Rituals? No. We have meetings because we're supposed to have meetings, whether we need them or not.

Our structure is low-level employees, like me -> squad lead -> tribe lead -> VP -> SVP -> CTO. VP and above have offices. SVP was the one who cancelled WFH. The open plan office thing predates the SVP and CTO, who are the

We recently spent weeks doing a backlog grooming meeting every day to get work lined up, only to have our priorities completely changed and all of the work discarded.

At least in our company, it works pretty much flawlessly. We rarely have technical issues, and if we do it's a wider outage from our conferencing provider.

They cite this particular bit of idiocy from the Agile Manifesto: > The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation. They fail to realize that when it was w

I was full-time WFH for 6 wonderful years. I was happy, my productivity was off the charts, I was saving tons of money because I didn't have to spend it on my car and clothes, I had extra time that I wasn't wasting on my commute,

I always try VirtualBox if VMware doesn't work. Sometimes that does the trick.

This would be awesome...I have a bunch of old games that broke when I went to 64-bit Windows. Plus, VMware support for older OSes seems to be getting worse, so that's a less and less viable route.

Back in the early 2000s, I could call up my internet provider (Bellsouth) and talk to an actual, technically trained person who could intelligently diagnose and fix problems with my service. Now, I get someone who parrots back my problem d

1. Yes, that's true. The value increases, in that the more data that's available, the better the decisions that can be made. 2. So? Why should you have a choice in it? Those things are classified as public records, available to

> They current "credit tracking" systen has massive over-reach. So much so that if there's a breach/hack thousands if not millions are subjected to those mistakes. Why are you singling out "credit tracking"

by g051051 7y ago
But the requirement for the credit check is from the bank, renter, employer, etc. They aren't being forced to do that, other than the economics of risk.

by g051051 7y ago
That's not strictly true. You just can't get reasonable terms unless you participate. Credit used to be much, much harder to get, and more expensive. You got loans from friends. You shopped at a particular store for years and b
