Sure, but it's not the only valid response. It's perfectly natural to be upset when a relationship falls apart, but it's just as natural to mutually decide things aren't working out and move on without grief or regret.
The humor for me is that you kind of expect something like this to end in bitter tears and a sad goodbye, but they're both actually totally fine with a divorce and even hype each other up for new relationships.
A lot of trans discovery/coming out stories don't end very happily, so it's nice to see one that does.
Well, it's a comic, not a documentary. Yeah in real life this would take a lot of discussion and a long time, but this is a comic about how you can find out that your desires no longer align and still be friends.
Oh yes absolutely, there are bots constantly crawling any open source code. A friend of mine accidentally leaked their discord API key, nuked a whole server within minutes.
I kinda like using emoji that are similar to my skintone. Not really making a statement, but somehow it feels a little more "me." Hard to explain why it matters, it's not like I won't use the yellow ones if that's all they have. Just kinda like "hehe, that's a lil me in that message."
[Harvey Ball] never applied for a trademark for the iconic smiley image and only earned $45 for his efforts. Ball later founded the Harvey Ball World Smile Foundation in 1999, a non-profit charitable trust that supports children's causes.
“To know that I caused so much pain and irreversible damage to someone for no reason other than petty reasons. It’s disheartening to me, to my family,” Garcia said in court. Garcia said he had an online persona that disconnected him from reality.
I definitely agree, but that's true of any system. The particulars of the pitfalls may vary, but a good system can't overpower bad management. We mitigate the stakeholder issue by having BAs that act as the liason between devs and stakeholders, knowing just enough about the dev side to manage expectations while helping to prioritize the things stakeholders want most. Our stakes are also, mercifully, pretty aware that they don't always know what will be complex and what will be trivial, so they accept the effort we assign to items.
Use my desktop for gaming, use my laptop for development and travel. It's nice to be able to sit in the living room while someone is playing a game, or sit out on the patio while I work on something.
Honestly a little confused by the hatred of agile. As anything that is heavily maligned or exalted in tech, it's a tool that may or may not work for your team and project. Personally I like agile, or at least the version of it that I've been exposed to. No days or weeks of design meetings, just "hey we want this feature" and it's in an item and ready to go. I also find effort points to be one of the more fair ways to gauge dev performance.
Projects where engineers felt they had the freedom to discuss and address problems were 87 percent more likely to succeed.
I'm not really sure how this relates to agile. A good team listens to the concerns of its members regardless of what strategy they use.
A neverending stream of patches indicates that quality might not be what it once was, and code turning up in an unfinished or ill-considered state have all been attributed to Agile practices.
Again, not sure how shipping with bugs is an agile issue. My understanding of "fail fast" is "try out individual features to quickly see if they work instead of including them in a large update", not "release features as fast as possible even if they're poorly tested and full of bugs." Our team got itself into a "quality crisis" while using agile, but we got back out of it with the same system. It was way more about improving QA practices than the strategy itself.
The article kinda hand waves the fact that the study was not only commissioned by Engprax, but published by the author of the book "Impact Engineering," conveniently available on Engprax's site. Not to say this necessarily invalidates the study, or that agile hasn't had its fair share of cash grabs, but it makes me doubt the objectivity of the research. Granted, Ali seems like he's no hack when it comes to engineering.
Even the stress of worrying about money. Yeah you can take out a loan for your risky business venture when you know you won't have to worry about paying it back. Yeah, you can couch surf for a while when you aren't staring down the next few decades of your life.
Moderators will never be able to fully eliminate this problem because it is an inherent part of the behavior of a subset of humanity and humans are involved in the activities where this harassment takes place
I'm not suggesting they can, I don't think anyone is.
If you expect every person you meet, online or in person, to respect the rules you are going to be disappointed
I don't, but I expect if someone starts yelling rape threats at a restaurant that they'll be kicked out, rather than the waiter saying "well why didn't you just move to another table?" The rules are there for a reason, there should be consequences if they are broken.
Man, I finally read that book a couple months ago. Way more pissing and shitting than I thought there'd be.
