Yes.

I’ve spent the last 25 years writing enterprise applications. 10 or so years ago the sdlc became “Dark Scrum” where all the trappings of scrum, expectations of waterfall and non of the prep work of waterfall. It’s an interesting system where management can demand anything and then blame the devs for any and all problems that occur because “we didn’t follow the process”. Recently I’ve been given a larger management role and kind threw the entire process out of the window. Baby, bathwater, all of it. And just went with a basic kanban style. We try to do one thing at a time and a lot of my time is spent keeping a backlog that is estimated and prioritized. We have a standup type of call on Monday and Thursday for no more than 5 minutes. (we’re a 100% remote team now, so no office)

I think the people should boycott all headlines with slams in the title. Unless it’s about professional wrestling.

KDE plasma, unless it’s on a tablet, then Gnome

Honestly, Debian 12 bookworm with the KDE package is pretty damn solid. It’s all I need for my desktops.

So Al Green got booted from the room. Interesting.

The only surprising thing is that Moscow mitch voted with the democrats.

Well they don’t believe in human rights either.

People who grew up with abstinence only education writing laws for the next generation.

Stem cells? Does he know what party he’s hitched his wagon to?

Wow. This is serious.

My kids are in a Chinese dual immersion program. I will never complain about English’s foibles ever again. Holy shit is that a terribly inefficient language. Thousands of years of civilization and they’re still doing pictograms. I can’t even imagine writing a program in Chinese. I’m not sure it would be possible.

There is only 2 basic core values.

The right: some people are better than others, and the betters should rule. They differ on what makes someone “better”, but that’s about it. The left: Everyone is equal, some people need more help than others. They differ on who needs the help.

I get the frustration, but I also get where the authorities are coming from. Imagine if precident gets set that a political candidate can be mired down in lawsuits, regardless if they’re plausible or not. Then someone like trump comes along and says cool that worker great against me, I’ll just throw a shit ton of made up lawsuits and cases against all my future opponents.

Made me think of the first season of Halt and Catch Fire.

Or is it like a Y2K death trolly and when the overflow happens the universe doesn’t catch the exception and things get weird. Like suddenly any number can be divided by 0.

Shudder. I had this weird brand laptop… Sotec IIRC and there just wasn’t a modline that ever got it all right.

Xserver… Somehow trying to find the magic string of letters and numbers that made your screen work.
