Maybe (probably) you're more skilled than I am at office politics but it's hard to find that point before "out of control" where you should say something. If you do it too early it comes off as petty; too late and it&#x2

And some people may not... leading to the whole team missing their lunch break on a regular basis because of that One Guy who won't shut up. Guarantee that would have happened in the last team I did "Agile" with.

No, I don't think that heuristic passes the sniff test. There are lots of situations where the doing the functional opposite of a morally wrong action is also morally wrong. It's wrong for me to take $50 from you and give it to Bo

They have a typical use failure rate 10x worse than an IUD so that is pretty bad. ~10% odds of pregnancy each year you use it as your only form of birth control, whereas an IUD is less than 1%. Over 10 years, that's a 35% success rate

This is already a problem for intranet, e.g., if there's a web server accessible by just the machine hostname. Most browsers default it to search unless you remember to prefix it with " http://" every time (even if

I did "Agile" for 1.5yrs and it was the least agile team I've been on so far. We never had a product owner (we were all expected to understand the user's needs enough to serve as "product owners"). We had devs

At my workplace pretty much everything is on the network. All the important stuff and a lot of the personal, non-important stuff sits on a file server somewhere. It wouldn't be a huge jump for us to put everything on the network and ma

Maybe that's how it works if you are doing it "right". But nobody ever seems to do Agile "right". If Agile is so hard to do right, and breaks down so badly when it's done wrong in a small way (like letting your

IOW don't tell them at all? As an employee I don't think everything is my manager's business. I've chatted with my manager about my side projects but if he started demanding to know everything, I would find it very r

Not everyone lives close enough to work to be able to reasonably bike there. If I biked to work it would be 30km in heavy traffic every day, rain or snow or shine. The usual response to this is to tell me to live closer to work. I would lov

Canada and the UK have a mix of public and private healthcare available as well... having public health care doesn't necessarily preclude private healthcare. I guess I was caught up on the distinction between "government paying fo

Wanting publish healthcare is "extreme left"? Isn't the US pretty much the only first-world country that doesn't have it yet?

IOW, you don't take transit nearly every day, but 66% of days. Yeah, there is not a lot of room in the transit fees to get a good deal if you fall somewhere on the spectrum between "daily commuter" and "infrequent rider&

My guess is that those health-conscious people either just drink normal soda in smaller amounts, or don't drink it at all. The people who are drinking lots of diet soda aren't exactly health-conscious; we're people who have a

Diet Coke is sweeter? To me it tastes like overly-carbonated ashtray. One of the few diet drinks I don't like, because I find it not sweet enough. ;) I knew that Diet Coke was its own formula and Coke Zero was meant to taste like Coke,

Yup, I have a huge sweet tooth but I try to stick to a keto diet because it has helped me keep my weight down without having to be hungry. I have personally experienced the intense regret of eating an entire package of maltitol chocolates&#

Why on earth are you buying the ticket books if you take public transport nearly every day? If that's really the case, a monthly pass is cheaper, and the monthly pass will still be available after Compass is introduced.

There are still a lot of necessities that are taxed, like adult clothing, hygiene supplies, etc., and a lot of non-necessities that are exempted. Last I checked, a baggie of corner store candy is not exempt but a $5k wedding cake would be.

I went to school in Canada; all of the classes had homework, but in some classes homework counted for GPA and in some it didn't. A good chunk of the students would do the homework that counted and skip all the homework that didn't

That's not impossible, it would just mean that most businesses fail for multiple reasons. Lots of the reasons in the list seem like they could easily go together, e.g. "No Financing/Investor Interest" + "Ran Out Of

Not a lot of people get pensions where I live anymore (or at least, not enough of one to live on comfortably). If you don't want to spend your entire life working, you could save for retirement, same as you (hopefully) do now. A lot of

As someone who used to be very pro-self-taught programmers, I changed my mind after actually working with some (and having to maintain the code of others). Most of the ones I've run into have holes in core skills that are taught as par
