You can also spend money and get a star named after you. I suppose you could assign an NFT to the stellar coordinates and sell the stars as well.

Beanie Babies, Baseball Cards, Comic Books all had period of rampant speculation whos markets were destroyed once people who "invested" tried to turn their assets back into cash. Hobbyists just suffer through these periods. Anecdo

Do the actual microbes emit CO2 or is some of that carbon used in replication? As awesome as it sounds that plastic will be biodegradable, I'm sure there's a lot of plastics are used in critical places with the assumption they won

Contact customer support about the deleting the profile, these things usually are taken very seriously, especially if it still is happening. If you don't hear anything back, call CS back and complain, shit will hit the fan then. I used

Years ago we had a system that was performing really badly. It turns out that it spent over 50% of its time on log.debug(xmldoc) The debug method took a string, and Java was converting the xmldoc to a string. This was back in the 1.4/1

There is another set of twins used, that is the security guard who gets a full house on the coffee machine. He meets his 'double' that is actually the t-1000, who 'pokes' him through the head. The actor duo are in a few

Something else just flashed into my mind from my Amiga days, I believe right clicking paused the serial port. Depending on the protocol, it could resume, but I usually ran Ymodem-G, with little issues with data corruption, but could eek out

I did all my BBSing with my Amiga 500. I don't think I ever dared do too much multitasking while I was downloading. First, had to download to RAM:, because if you did something that involved disk, you could get a timeout. If you messed

Sorry, that is wrong, I work at a FAANG (not apple) and have worked at plenty of startups and small to mid-sized companies. I can count the windows users on one hand. I know Walmart and contract engineers have massive office complexes aroun

I would call all that you described as Agile, sorry. > In fact, it's much more important to make something that works, than copying some task-list because it's said to have worked somewhere else. > That should be less about

So... some process that wasn't agile... that had no name, no principles... but it worked! Was this a singular process, that everyone just 'knew'? Or did every company have their own, that varied in principles and effectivenes

Ok, Scrum, Extreme, Rational Unified are some processes with a degree of Agility. What are the alternatives?

by jboy55 5y ago

My point is, that if you trained an AI on Parisian French, people in Quebec would be annoyed but could adapt to the differences if they wanted to use the system. People in southern Germany may be annoyed they have to speak high German, but

In the pre-OSX era, Macs were only found in significant numbers in the creative areas. With OSX, Macs became the defacto standard in software development.

> if you succeed with "agile", you would have succeeded as well or better without it. It's never why you were successful, but is often why projects fail. I would love to see some counter examples where companies succeeded

Its not. I have worked at a bunch. But let me repeat, it's not the process, its the managers that enact the process. Shitty management is everywhere, even within the same company, you can have some managers understand and push to build

Yup, I've been a mac user at work for the last 18 years. Before that it was linux on laptops.

>.they were saying they were "agile", but would abandon it where it conflicted with actually getting work done. Abandoning your process to get stuff done is within the manifesto. However, what I don't ever get about Agile

In support for your first sentence, Macs were very unusual for techs in the valley until OSX. I ran a linux laptop for a long time until I gave in and stopped doing my own IT and got a Macbook.

The same goes for the US. but there are always regional differences, the bigger point is that people are not just a simple lookup table, they can adapt to a personal assistant that only understands an imperfect understanding by changing the

The laser produced 1.3 MJ from fusion in an instant using only around 250 KJ of laser energy. We have already created machines that fuse hydrogen and from only 3 KJ of electricity, produce 10^10 MJs of energy out of it in an instant. I neve

Facebook is not the 'only' public square. Please, that's hyperbole, its not even close. Twitter, ticktok, reddit, snap and this very site are all public squares, with tremendous reach. Most of the video content on FB/Ins
