Yeah, I was in the industry back then, I know exactly what kind of people created it and why. Citing "Uncle Bob" is hardly an endorsement.

"The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation." That statement indicates just how broken the whole idea of "Agile" is.
243.
by g051051 6y ago
There are no "pros". Agile was created by consultants to sell consulting, and the so-called "Agile Manifesto" is nothing but silly aphorisms unrelated to the task of developing and delivering software.

The version 9.2 release notes mention improvements to the 6502 processor specification: > Many improvements and bug fixes have been made to existing processor specifications: ARM, AARCH64, AVR8, CRC16C, PIC24/30, SH2, SH4, TriCore,

They are taking away my choice to use the hardware as I see fit. And are granting themselves the ability to alter the value of my purchase after the fact. What's to stop them from deciding to update the driver in 3 months to cut the

> Ok, but it is not taking away something that you bought or anything. Yes, it is. The hardware has capabilities, and Nvidia is artificially limiting them in certain circumstances based on what they consider "acceptable" use.

by g051051 6y ago
Sounds like they're using software to artificially limit the capabilities when it comes out.

It's nice that Nvidia gets to artificially restrict what I can do with their products after I buy them. I had this problem years ago...I bought a USB video adapter to enable using a second screen while my main screen was running games

It was based on their previous VisualAge for Smalltalk product, which was a really amazing and solid product as well.

VisualAge for Java was an amazing tool, far ahead of its time.

Web/text, but on the rare times I do image search, Pinterest results don't "dominate" my results as OP suggested.

by g051051 6y ago
I can't think of the last time I did a search and got any pinterest pages in my results. It must be more a factor of what you search for.

They want to implement that sort of thing, but it just doesn't work for very large projects.

by g051051 6y ago
Maybe for very small projects. But the scale of things I work on doesn't lend itself to that sort of thing.
