Symbian folks inside Nokia at the time lived in a reality distortion field. Your experience is not the only instance where the Symbian division inside the company railroaded the Maemo project, which they saw first and foremost as a threat t

I know the topic is explosive, but I see a pattern here that is being repeated over and over again: people thinking they know for better what is good for some minority, and then making a big fuss about it. At no point does anyone think to a

It's really sad that his story got flagged. I think it's a reasonable and well-argued opinion piece, and I can only assume it got flagged because some users vigorously disagree with the opinion. @mods any input?

This particular company was in fact seriously in need of a corporation-wide business development methodology, so sledgehammer was called for – and I can see the appeal they saw in SAFe. But completely replacing autonomous agile teams'

Well I suggest you stop working with colleagues you describe as psychopaths ASAP for the sake of your own mental health. I could never work with a developer who sacrifices the company's / team's business goals for a line in

What a sad and nihilistic view. Experienced devs are smart people. If you communicate the company targets, priorities and deadlines clearly, they will naturally find a way to self-organize to achieve those goals. Devs think it's micro

Couldn't agree more. Just quit my job of last six years the previous week. I really liked the team and the product. We had a very informal development process - we all agreed it was agile but not through following any formal process

The Bible also contains passages calling homosexuality "shameful", among others. And it's hard to think of a book more discriminating by gender: "I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rath

It makes very much sense to criticize Bitcoin for its energy usage, I really don't understand your angle, and how that would asinine. "Mining" Bitcoin is literally competing to waste energy. Even if you want to ignore the f

I guess more like they don't have a contract with Apple that says Apple guarantees the data security is protected by their tech.

I must agree with this. About a year ago, our company's iOS development team was replaced. The managers bought the new developers company MBPs. However, after about six months they started complaining that they could not make progress

The bandwidth is pretty good, considering those super high res photos they send back. There's space in between, and Mars has a very thin atmosphere, so you can communicate with radio quite well I'd bet. Latency is indeed a major

Slashdot was ripe with memes. One of the more sinister ones was posting a comment link to something mundane looking, but it was actually a link to a .cx shock site containing "goat" in the domain name. Later it evolved into Rick R

It's not a single HTML file though. On line 1211 jQuery is pulled, and on lines 57 and 64 an external font file is referenced. I am not sure having everything in a single HTML file is any feat though. You can of course compress all you

They have also defined SVG Tiny, which is basically SVG without CSS and scripting support. Which seems to be more or less what OP is calling for in the blog post. Why the need to reinvent the wheel? For once, we have massive industry-wide m

Yes, any one can transact in Bitcoin quite trivially. But as soon as you want to use it for anything practical outside the tech bubble, you need an account on an exchange. At that point Western Union is probably easier for most people.

by vesinisa 6y ago
I wanted to point out how using Bitcoin is in practice at least equally difficult as using Western Union. For any real use case you need to use an exchange, and AFAIK Lightning Network is not yet widely deployed.

Bitcoin is a nightmare to use. The transaction can take hours to clear, you need specific forms of ID to open an account, and the fees are insane. I just now sent $100 to someone in South America and it cost me $17. Bitcoin is a fad that ta

But ... haven't we established that the en-US locale week numbering system is not really based on anything sensible. So how the user can have any sensible expectation of what they get as a reply when they ask for a week number? I tried

I have to second that this is exactly my situation as well. Since my elementary school years some two decades ago, I don't think I ever cycled so little in one year as in 2020. Bicycle is my #1 transport but due to forced remote work a

So, we have the en-US locale returning arbitrary week numbers in a system that is not really well-defined or even used by anybody - in lieu of using the one and only standardized week numbering system. If a person asks a computer for a &quo
