Is it Jira that sucks or the management methodologies that cause it to be such a dumpster fire? Scrum-style management is the norm now: it is increasingly difficult to escape it now. So this means project managers are chasing burndown metri

I use a Vivoactive 3, and the battery definitely doesn't last days if I actually use it to track a specific exercise. I'm quite unimpressed with the battery life, but the watch is fairly feature-rich, otherwise. If I just wear it

>The so called mystic Islam also known as Sufism, is a deviant sect, and is fundamentally a gateway to polytheism, as it borrows many practices from polytheistic religions. This illustrates that you have a fundamentalist streak in you: y

I wish Telegram secret conversations carried over to multiple devices. This is a thing I don't have to worry about with Signal or WhatsApp.

It's a similar wild west in the US, except people are basically brewing bathtub steroids from dubious Chinese powders.

Since you mentioned JIRA, it is basically there to support bloated Scrum teams. And one often hears No True Scotsman fallacies regarding Scrum. Salesforce has always seemed to me like something that, indeed, falls into this category of thin

I'd say it shows that for most day-to-day work in the software industry, a certain percentage of the CS material we learn is simply unnecessary. No one has ever asked me to re-implement well-known algorithms that are found in well-esta

Are the "BS work rules" that unions might introduce really that much worse than what gets imposed on the average software shop these days? Scrum ceremony, planning by committee, etc, at times is the kind of bureaucracy that brings

The point may be that many (if they're truly senior, not someone with 3-5 years in the industry) will not have used these theories in 10+ years. The real-world application is questionable.

It's Canada, so HIPAA wouldn't apply. A Canadian equivalent, presumably, would have to apply.

Mainstream journalism is elitist, is the problem. They seem to see entities like Wikileaks as fake journalism, that circumvents their gatekeeping. Assange isn't a hero to them, so they won't come to his defence.

This, most likely. And it isn't as if the whiskey industry is the only one benefiting from being able to ignore the pollution that they create. Though there is a move to change how this works, for the most part air pollution remains so

>Yes, “national security” is used to justify all manner of protectionism in this country. We sure love our oligopolies. That and outright monopolies created by the government itself.

I think a lot of those entities aren't griefers-by-design. Some of them really believe in what they're doing. This makes them scarier than the garden variety 4chan-er out for the "lulz".

I guess we can see that there is no planned obfuscation of eye "tech".

It isn't limited to tech, but tech has been pretty bad in this area for years. Especially where it concerns recruiters posting fake jobs just to harvest CVs.

People want security. That means different things to different people. Law enforcement is not necessarily the same thing as security. Law enforcement means just that, and the laws themselves may not be what many would consider just. The law

Nor does the US (if we're talking about the strictest definition of "monopoly", which rarely occurs in the private sector), but there are probably degrees of difference in what will set off regulators in the EU versus the US.

Maybe, though to be fair Microsoft is far from being a newcomer to the gaming scene. Even before the Xbox, they were putting their name on games.

In this case, Amazon does run its own app store. And as far as streaming platforms go, it sells its own devices (that use Amazon's app store).

I'm not sure that Apple would ban it. Do they really care if people bypass YouTube's intended restrictions? Obviously Google cares, so you won't be seeing NewPipe on the Play Store.

This remains a killer app for me on Android. I don't know if anything equivalent exists on iOS, to enable background playing and video downloads (and you can choose whether to download them as audio files).

If someone actually paid $275k for your home, then it definitely is worth $275k. But right now that value is just theoretical (maybe real for purposes of taxation, but that doesn't always reflect what a buyer will pay). The moment mone
