Once you read this utterly true and appalling state of affairs it changes your frustration to disillusionment around corporate leadership. Large consultancies have subverted many large organisations with a revolving door hiring system - jum

The comedy moment for me was watching Sky News on the day that they were bought by Comcast. Kay Burley in the morning was the hard right leaning Fox News lite host and by the evening she was the caring and left leaning BBC News wannabe host

The problem is that any new term needs to be trademarked and licensed for use so that it doesn't become misused by large consultancies repackaging what they do now as "the new thing" or misrepresented by others that are seeki

Low interest rates combined with a massive shortfall in house building and add in help to buy and those rates were low for a massively inflated initial asset. Plenty of people who are middle class got furloughed or let go during Covid. Pret

The working and middle classes in the UK have had a lost decade really. 2008 crash followed by austerity going on for way too long when it wasn't needed at all, followed by Brexit, Covid and now this.

Imagine the convenience of having all of your life inside these integrated apps. Then imagine the horror when one day you go to turn on your MacBook and your Apple account has been deleted because you did something that you were unaware of.

Yes... It has moved away from founding principles, only reflects a cosmopolitan city elite's understanding of the country, moved to more, lower value, content on more channels, become significantly politicised and is a classic example

Looks awesome. Would be great if you could specify gzip or brotli compression to statically compress certain specified files. Have a plan to get a site up this year so will definitely have a play with Binserve.

This isn't about lifetime licences but more untrustworthy companies and clearly unsustainable business models in the LT deal. You have to think critically. I've bought quite a few lifetime licences from AppSumo etc. over the years

The last 14 years have been an absolute disaster for the UK unless you're not just rich but upper class. Those at the top pine for the Victorian or even feudal era.

Doing this to BBC Four is definitely a "fuck you" to the government from the BBC. TL:DR - BBC moves channel aimed at old, mostly white viewers solely online and channel aimed at young, ethnically diverse viewers on to OTA TV whils

95% of articles on Agile are incorrect and this is no different. 1. Mike (Miguel) Beedle was latino. 2. "Al Tenhundfeld, one of the manifesto’s authors" - NOPE. I could go on but what's the point. If you want to learn about a

I'd love to see these done right in the places like Australia and Canada - set them up with massively opposing charters and experiment to see which one works best and then start another and continue the experimenting.

So what do you think is more difficult - moderation of a platform of comments by internet folks or putting stuff into space? I have no doubts that Musk, if motivated, will get Twitter to execute exactly how we wants it to by hiring extremel

This is almost the perfect poster child for big upfront launch mandated by egotistical senior product people. CNN+ could have been launched like a startup using Lean Startup/agility: 1. Take a third party streaming technology and creat

This could be a win-win. Take the time to take snapshots in whatever appropriate method to archive his site, spawn a new static site under the name of "rememberingjoebloggs.whatever" and add a banner to your own site at his old do

The founder of this must not understand or care for the rammifications of passing off laws. By calling it Muzmatch.com there are almost certainly people who thought it was a spin-off from Match.com, a market leader with trusted standards of

As someone who grew up in a city that did this, it was a terrible idea then and remains so. Town planners who like brutalism and everything modern are insane. Just look at Birmingham, England - they knocked down beautiful buildings to put u

I think Musk believes that Twitter is the primary meeting place and seemingly unified-ish mouthpiece of anti-capitalists in the west and he's seeing that they are making dangerous progress. He's someone who is a capitalist and fee

None of them work for large consultancies lol. My cousin who was a child prodigy became a buddhist and now teaches music. One works for a bank in AI/ML, one is a broadcaster and author, another had their own small boutique consultancy

Designers should be designing/refining the solution at the PBI level whilst it's still on the backlog - they're part of the Product Owner team. Putting them into the main team to work on design during the same sprint is far t

Regarding the scanner working or not, Vuescan is a great option on Linux. Sure it's commercial but it is another way to bridge the gap and assist in the move away from Windows.

No and for your own sanity you probably shouldn't. I've recently realised I've had 4 people in my life who would definitely fall under varying combinations of sociopath and narcissist and looking back with hindsight they&#x27
