I pre-ordered and paid full price, which is something I rarely do. Last time I did it was for Psychonauts 2.

How are you "inheriting" this is you don't manage it directly? Why is it your responsibility to "fix" it?

I did my master's from age 50 to 52. It wasn't a "journey", whatever that means. It was fine, I really enjoyed it. Having 25+ years professional experience was a huge advantage compared to many of the others in the p

> The other half is that agile makes you iterate through pseudo productivity before you actually understood the problem, accumulating cruft that you need to maintain and extend as you go on. Well said!

The last place I worked at decided to cut the ops staff entirely and put all devs on support duty. Hilarity ensued because no one wanted to do it and the suits were baffled. They established a hard cutoff date for the transition, and at t

I'm more than slightly proud, actually. I can't remember the last time a "major" social media site had an outage that affected me. That includes Twitter, HN, Facebook, and Github (since that's turning into a socia

As much as I loathe MSFT and Windows, I'd jump at the chance to be a low-level C programmer again.

I don't care how I read my stuff, I just want to read it. Calibre says it supports lots of formats, but somehow I can't find or figure out the magic inputs or config options to have it display something to me so I can read it.

by g051051 4y ago
I love the idea of Calibre, but I just have no idea how to use it. Whenever I try, I get stuck in some kind of confused loop where I've added things to it, but all attempts to access them just loop back to Calibre. In other words, I

Speaking as someone who experiences this, it's because you're tuned out. It's non-technical, and you fundamentally don't care. You haven't invested (wasted) the time to learn all of this trivia because you don&#x2

That's how it works in well-functioning teams, period. Being "Agile" or "agile" has nothing to do with it.

Thanks for the summary. His choice to film this walking around with the camera rolling and pitching like a ship on the high seas made it unwatchable for me. I felt the same way about the article, the author seemed to try as hard as he cou

They have said they don't want to interoperate. They said they won't certify against whatever random hardware and software a person has in their PC.

You'd have to prove that they're the ones with the faulty Bluetooth implementation, not the PC hardware, drivers, or OS.

Is there a good reference as to what a "parameter" is in this context? I've looked a few times, but the explanations don't make any sense to me.

That was me. I worked in a place for 22 years that completely devalued WFH, and cancelled it entirely (pre-pandemic) with the Big Boss stating "We all know a 15 minute face-to-face conversation is better than a multi-day email chain&
