  • LEAN from the web:

    After each iteration, project managers discuss bottlenecks, identify waste and develop a plan to eliminate it.

    1st iteration:

    Project Manager A: Requiring approval of multiple Project Managers for the same thing is causing a bottleneck. So is having to wait for a specific manager for a specific topic.

    Resolution: Let all managers approve everything and need only a single manager’s approval.

    2nd iteration:

    Project Manager B: There are too many redundant managers. It’s a waste of resources.

    Resolution: Get rid of all mangers but one. Actually, let the engineers manage themselves.

    3rd iteration:

    Consensus: LEAN development is a scam though



  • Unless you are in India.
    Their customer service apparently drove a relative of mine to Apple.

    Also some of the cheaper Nokia ones have a great number of problems:

    • SIM card not detected after Restart
    • Some bad sensor causing Google Maps to show you facing the wrong direction.
      Alright, it’s just 2, but happens enough to make me regret.

    Some high end model had its LCD liquidate somehow, without a visible crack and was not covered in warranty.


  • … Except when it doesn’t.
    I use Gnome at work, on an older (supposedly stable) version of RedHat and there are a few ways it breaks, but when it does, it Breaks Bad. I would be fine with said breakages if it were not trying to claim focussing on having lesser bugs and in turn reducing customisability to such low levels that changing stuff like animation speed (which, by default is set to productivity destroying speeds), is not possible from the default repos.

    KDE and related applications are much more tolerable and when I find a bug I tend to be happy to report.

    How about that.




  • I just went “Shiit! Am I sitting on potential system breakage?” (because I don’t remember doing any such intervention)
    But turns out it was just a conflicts with change.

    From what I know, pacman straight-up asks you what you want, in these cases. Sure, it’s technically manual intervention, but for me, who scans over updated packages every-time, this is considered standard procedure.

    Manual intervention is when GRUB doesn’t install properly using the suggested command and you have to learn where your distro places the boot image and configure stuff accordingly.

    Also, I don’t have JDK so…

    I’m pretty sure that’s an example of why you should use the chosen ones instead of going “mancy/nancy” all over the place.

    Also, didn’t they just make a standard for themselves and other just took it because it was probably easier than making one for their own language (oh right, NATO… but let’s be honest here, NATO is just a forum for America to flaunt its power while PR-ing peaceful, so it makes sense they use English, which is also easier to be a second language than most other ones).
    Though I feel like China might have made their own.

    The radio words were chosen to be distinct, such that for people who trained in them, it would be easier to distinguish letters being spoken over low quality radio.

    Not very relevant in the era of 2G HD audio, and now VoLTE.
    But when there’s a bad signal and you have to tell someone a callsign, it makes sense.


    I like ISO, because in whatever cases I have interacted with it, it has made programming easier for me.

    I like YYYY-MM-DD, because when files lose their metadata, if they are named using this, I can still sort by name and get results by date.
