We do standups three times a week, and I will flat-out hang up Zoom once we hit 15 minutes. I find standups helpful, but not if they're longer than 15 minutes!

Are you suggesting that people who aren't devoted to the cause of secure communication are not allowed to derive any benefits from secure communication?

It sounds like you want an app that sacrifices usability for a promise of security. That's fine, there are options. Of course, some are honeypots run by the US government, and you'd need to really really have an unusual threat

Instead of a person, then, call it ten people at different companies, so that all ten won't lose their jobs at once barring an event so catastrophic money will be meaningless. The point is, absolute numbers aren't nearly as releva

Please, calm down! Don't call me a liar. I don't need to prove my anti-racist bona fides to you or anyone else. As should be obvious from my comment, I am very much against the so-called war on drugs, and thinks it's awful in

These shouldn't be considered valid sudoku puzzles. Uniqueness is an attribute of valid puzzles.

The process you're describing is commonly (and usually derisively) referred to as "bifurcation," because experience solvers will generally only resort to "guessing" when there are only two possible values for a cell

Mostly discord as far as I can see. There's no single place, though.

The misguided war on drugs was first and foremost a sincere attempt to curtail the prevalence of drugs. That the effect of this so-called "war" has disproportionately fallen on racial minorities is due to broad systemic racism, bu

It's really hard for me to read this and not think of a child, shouting, "BUT I WANTED THE ICE CREAM AN HOUR AGO, NOT NOW! WAAAAAAAAAAAH!" The irrationality of this sentiment, combined with your assertion that President Biden

Oh look, a writer disagrees with their translator/editor. As writers nearly-universally do.

Indeed, if the price goes above 54 and remains above 54, he will get a good deal. It will do neither of those things. It's only even getting near 54 because of the impending deal. People buying now know that when the deal closes, the

Buses in the USA with limited funding do not work absurdly well, no. I've ridden buses in Hong Kong that are very nearly as efficient as anything else, and one comes along very frequently. Some of that is that Hong Kong is small, but i

Sprint planning today took 26 minutes. The Retro yesterday was 30. So that's less than 1.25% of my time spent.

Who said anything about scrum? The comment was about "agile," of which scrum is only one possible implementation[0]. Sprints are not only found in scrum, but also in other agile approaches, like kanban. Two-week sprints seem to be

You can imagine a worst-case scenario for the electricity used to charge the cars, or you can imagine a best-case scenario. The car itself is zero-emission by the definition posted. You are hypothesizing that the electricity used to charge

How does something like this take 30% of your time? On my calendar it's two hours out of 80, or 2.5%. One hour per sprint for planning, one hour for retro, why would it be longer? My team lead spends more time prepping tasks with the P

Sprints are a great way to always have reasonable goals to work toward. They work best when there's a product team, or product manager and product owner, carefully managing the task. If you have a bad PM, or don't have one, then y

Communicating hard targets to customer is always a mistake, because software is hard. For that matter, many other industries similarly try to avoid communicating hard targets, and for similar reasons. Internally, though, Slack et al have ta

Herd immunity is most effective when most of a population is immune. Less so when anti-vaxxers ensure we don't reach that point.

Calling it an "energy war" rather than "Russia's invasion of Ukraine" is disingenuous at best, and combined with other articles by the same writer, it's clear that nothing of value is to be found here.

It's a word list, so as I'm sure you've already figured out, you have to grep first and last names separately. For example, "jennifer" as a first name is token 19786, while "garner</w>" is token

49,407 tokens, many of which are not useful. It's an arduous process to narrow down, so this link decided to go in the other direction, working from zero up rather than 49,407 down.
