This is similar to how my team operates. On my team, the PR author is ultimately responsible for their work. All review comments are considered suggestions. The Approve button is used only to indicate completion of the review. If a reviewer

If RoadPony can find a niche in the crowdfunding market, I think it could work. Give bands some benefits or features that existing crowdfunding platforms don’t, and they’ll use it.

I’m not sure about the bounty idea, but I’ll tell you what does work if you want your favorite undiscovered band to play a show in your town: offer to book and promote the show for them, especially if they’re already planning a tour in the

I played in some local bands for fun years ago and went on some self-funded tours. I also booked and promoted shows (mostly for my own bands). The way that we got most of our gigs was through networking with other bands, bookers, promoters,

I’m suspicious of any large transfer of wealth from an individual or organization to a politician, whether that’s through campaign donations or some other means. It seems strange not to take the next logical step and conclude that there wer

Is that form of corruption a systemic problem here in the U.S.? I don’t think that it is. On the other hand, campaign contributions are common, legal, and involve large sums of money (especially to PACs). Systemic corruption of elected offi

I’d bet that the dollar amounts involved where appointed officials corruptly use regulation to solicit bribes in the U.S. is orders of magnitude smaller than the amounts involved in “campaign donations” to elected officials to prevent and r

In the states that I have lived, the voter information pamphlet lists who supports and opposes every initiative. Every time that a new regulation on the ballot would benefit the public at the expense of business, it’s always the same: on on

Yes, and my guess is that there is more money to be made off of deregulation than on regulation. Thus, more corruption related to the party that wants to deregulate.

I agree that more money probably means more backroom deals. This seems simple to me: One party wants to regulate, the other de-regulate. Which of those platforms attracts the most money?

The power is checked by the voters, and every election Californians keep electing Democrats. It’s only sad to Republicans, and only because it’s not their party in power.

In my case, the recovery required physical therapy. My shoulders have also improved somewhat on their own over time. From what I’ve read, it’s not genetic. My shoulder injuries were each caused by a specific physical event, and then gradual

I am also recovering from a frozen shoulder, but thankfully it was not nearly as bad as the author. This is also my second time having it. Both times have required months of PT, mostly stretching and some strength training. As for the pain

We’ll have to do some research and analysis. When we compare alternatives, product support will be one factor. There might be some commercial Jenkins support offerings out there, which would be interesting. It’s going to be a whole process

Switched from Jenkins to Bamboo Server about 5 years ago. The integrations with Bitbucket, Jira, and Slack have been really useful. My team has put a lot of time into getting the most out of Bamboo, so it’s disappointing that we won’t be ab

The problem with security through obscurity is the false sense of security that it provides. This in itself can lead to vulnerabilities. Regarding data obfuscation, for example: - Can an average person differentiate between encrypted data a

If refactoring didn’t introduce regressions, then that would be great to have someone constantly refactoring to improve the codebase. In my experience though, it often makes more work for the rest of the team, sometimes for years afterwards

Find different ways to collaborate with others on software. Learn how to review code and how to respond when your code is critiqued. Contribute to medium-sized open source projects that are still maintained and have a fair number of users.

As management is responsible for bad management decisions, so too is the programmer responsible for implementing bad decisions.

I have a feeling it’s fairly subjective, but good to read up on. I’ll definitely try pineapple next time (as recommended in the article).

I read it somewhere a long time ago... if I recall, it supposedly helps get vocal cords to the right tension and maybe gives them a slight coating.

This is where it can be helpful to have some folks on your team whose primary focus is user satisfaction (and/or sales). They can help guide issue prioritization in a way that code-oriented team members may not. Sometimes it can be fru

The article notes that the Nature Conservancy has helped them purchase lands for the project. I’ve been a fan of that organization for a while, they do a lot of really great environmental projects around the world. It’s nice to see them hel

I paid twice as much for mine when it was the latest model (I got few upgrades, though). I'm pretty happy with the T480 overall, but if Lenovo releases another T-series with a significantly better CPU then I'll probably get it. I

Functional Programming fundamentally changed the way that I solve problems. It also changed my expectations for how code should be designed. The concepts that influenced me the most were immutability and the power of mapping+filtering. When

If I was hurt by some bad code, I’d want to know who wrote it. Bugs happen, but reasonable steps should be taken to prevent them. Developers share that responsibility with management, whether they like it or not.

What is the incentive for someone to pay to access the manifest file and then maintain a free fork that includes it?
