Well the top comment was “fuck these people” so if the goal was to build broad public support it is having the opposite effect.

Alternatively, EVERYONE is cheering for those fucking Orcas, so… Imagine being dumber than a whale.

I’ll rephrase them, except in good faith:

1. Talking directly to the people about the work is better than a 95 state JIRA pipeline

2. Document your finished working work, not every broken POC, because that’s a waste of time

3. If the contract isn’t actually going to meet the desires of your stakeholders, negotiate one that will

4. If you realize the plan sucks, make a better plan.

My company paid to have Kent Beck come to workshop with our Sr devs. I expected to dislike him, but he won me over pretty quick.

I don’t remember what it was, but someone was like “Kent, we do X like you recommend in the manifesto, but it creates Y, and Z problem for us”

And he was like “So, in your situation it isn’t providing value?”

Guy was like “No”

“Then stop doing it.”

It’s not hard. It’s the most fucking common sense shit. I feel bad for them because these guys came from a world where there were these process bibles that people were following. So they wrote like, basically a letter saying “if your Bible doesn’t serve you, don’t follow it”

And all these businesses dummies were like “oh look, a NEW bible we can mindlessly follow”

The SITH…

We’re not oblivious ;)

I think it’s significant in principle at least.

Part of the reason that the youth are so disillusioned is that nobody in the older generations show any interest in protecting them in any sense. From abstract things like the projected future climate in which they will live, or in the concrete immediate of swarms of police.

Intergenerational solidarity isn’t something these students have really experienced.

I appreciate that OP wants to provide a framework for what women should and shouldn’t wear.

Yes.

But keep in mind when estimating these things generally: energy scales linearly with mass, but quadraticly with velocity

I had this and I don’t mind at all

Pretty much every country fired up their money printers to power through covid.

Here is Canada’s money supply:

Every other country did the same thing. Although I think governments, companies, and individuals are stumbling through the shock of such an unprecedented injection of supply… Ultimately IMO this is a global “hangover” from covid money printing.

This is why I’m hesitant to over-attribute current economic conditions to things like “approaching limits of growth”. To me, those are zebras. Unprecedented monetary supply manipulation are horses. When I hear hoofbeats, my first guess is the horses.

I didn’t really understand how much people hate oil until today.

Rex Murphy was literally a member of the Liberal Party, running for office himself twice.

“The gains” in your quote (when taken in a fuller context) is referring to number of jobs added. It’s not related to the average hourly wage.

I’m wondering if it’s a regional thing? I just looked online for pressure treated 2x2’s and all the ones I’m seeing (home hardware, home depot, advantage lumber, etc) list as actual being 1.5x1.5

I’m really confused about the arguments around this, being that things like apostrophes and hyphens have special meanings in databases.

Yes, they do… But there are incredibly mature standard practices around how to store and query this type of data so that it isn’t a problem.

Hyphens and apostrophes aren’t uncommon in surnames. Is anyone suggesting banning those?

Even the original trilogy isn’t “great”. The star of Star wars has always been the fantasy universe. The story was already cannibalizing on itself by ROTJ (Death Star…2?)

Rogue One/Andor shine because they treat the universe as the star. They’re still compelling even if it was the only content that existed outside of the original trilogy, IMO anyways. People can enjoy whatever they want for whatever reasons they want.

Somebody honestly thought they’d slam dunked me in a debate about if “AT-AT” is spoken as “at at” or “A T A T” by saying that JJ Abrams says “at at”.

Using a law to justify arrests knowing full well they won’t hold up as a way to intimate and suppress a protest is absolutely abuse, regardless if it results in a conviction. Almost moreso.

The cops arrested him without following the law.

There is a difference between having an arrest or charges dropped and the police not following the law. By this logic OJ was illegally arrested because he was found innocent of the criminal charges.

“working with teams isn’t as bad as working with some software in a completely different domain”

Apples and oranges, reeks of “You can’t be cold because I live in Canada” energy, but ok, whatever.

“You need perspective”

Extremely condescending. Enforces the notion that nobody can dream of better things as long as other people (you specifically) see themselves are enduring something worse.
