Integrated in your work-load officially? That still doesn't explain stuff. Scrum-masters, please weigh in...thanks!

Anybody doing Agile/Scrum know how it deals with people issues? It seems like with these practices everyone is on a tight leash -- how does it deal with the fact that real people have a natural ebb and flow in their concentration level

Think about this is way -- if others don't have no other marketable skill other than coding, it makes sense that your off-beat skills are recognized and the coding skill award goes to your co-worker -- otherwise you might end up hoggin

This is the most fascinating side business I've read of! Does what you do ultimately help whoever you are following in their business? Have you seen them make changes that have helped the business in small or even larger ways?

To me it seems like ext4 was the problem here -- it tried to provide a feature that wasn't adequately supported by the underlying OS.

Weird, just yesterday, there was a link from a different language that seemed very similar to yours or at least has similar goals: http://cone.jondgoodwin.com/

I think some of that internal seething is because of previous experience where you might have ended up losing control or power and you are able to see through to what might happen if the other party is not truly empathetic (i.e. trying to g

Nobody has asked about the animated text on the left at the top -- how is that done? That is more interesting to me!

> Python with Rust as its foundation sounds like the best idea ever. Why do you think it's the "best idea ever"? What are the benefits over any other Python implementation?

Not sure what the problem is -- dotfiles or other application files need to be somewhere, whether in the home directory or somewhere else (that the OS doesn't enforce but just requires by convention) makes no difference. What would rea

For 50$ (Canadian, I guess), will not someone like wordpress.com do better? Their business package is USD25 per month.

Another tricky question -- does having the union prevent (or atleast make it difficult) for a company to pay way higher than normal for someone (who will be a union represented employee) they deem necessary for the company? Maybe what I am

A question for you -- are unions mandatory or it's just a normal way of life there. Also do small startups have unions? What's the tipping point for having a union at a tech company.

by grok2 8y ago
That, I see as a bad example of needing a union for depending on what the company is preferring the open-office floor-plan for. I think it makes sense for a company to optimize on real-estate costs to run a viable business. After-all they a

Currently in programming/software jobs in the tech industry, salaries and perks are good and there is relative freedom in how you spend your time on the job doing the job (atleast in all the jobs I've been in -- all in the US). Un

Isn't it fundamentally flawed though to assume that the people in the neighboring state are better than the people in your state at redeeming the deposits? The incentives are the same to people in both states and I assume only people l

Not so fast! The press release is sort of ambiguous. It sort of seems like they only added an additional rule for the merchant to send an email or text with instructions on how to cancel before billing. To me it seems like the first of thei

Zig is good, but I like the look of Kit ( https://www.kitlang.org/ )...it feels a lot more C like with many of the features (ADT/pattern-matching/generics/type-inference) of the latest crop of languages. Not fu

If it is truly embeddable in a C program (there was some note about using this as a library in a C program), then this would be a fantastic way to augment development of software in C -- it seems to improve on the C programming language. I

Going meta regarding tech articles, I find that it is easy to read some text-heavy articles (this being one of them) while my eyes glaze over other text-heavy articles (I couldn't easily follow Dave Cheney's article on the same to

I think the ideas that hemorrhoids are not prevalent in third-world countries, not using toilet paper for cleanup and that using a western-style commode (and not squatting) is the source of problems is probably incorrect. I base this on obs

Nice. Someone actually used Literate programming to write something useful :-). The ferret org-mode info is very readable.

I used it a while back in a previous incarnation of the editor. It is a "Outline Editor" for use in what is called "Literate Programming". My view of it was that you write documentation and embed code in the documentatio

The first problem is actually easy to fix -- make it a rule that anyone that sends unrelated gifs/makes funny banter gets to buy lunch for the others ;-) (or makes a charitable donation in proportion to the number of people -- if the u

So long as the software will only be shipped after all three stages, it's a useful metric to go by, I guess. It prevents you getting overwhelmed by the myriad amount of decision-making that writing software is. And also, so long as you

This is a fascinating approach to take reader input to diagnose medical problems that many doctor's haven't been able to diagnose problems. So far, there don't seem to be any solved cases discussed though...

Yeah, I assumed that this was just converting word-for-word as a first step and one was expected to then go back to use Rust idioms to tweak the code if necessary. Definitely useful if you want to move code-bases to Rust entirely.
