Red Hat bins Bugzilla for RHEL issue tracking, jumps on Jira

CowHorseFrog Silver badge

My real question is how did he even get selected in the first place ?

How exactly does someone like Steve Balmer even get that high up in a company like Microsoft ?

The guy should have been cleaning toilets and even that is probably too difficult for him.

Re: Jira is the single source of suckage

Bamboo is terrible. Push a branch and a build fails, theres no rebuild link next door, you have to go hunting...

There are basically zero useful links to do stuff, on any of the main pages. The organisation and links are terrible. If someone tried to do a worse job they woul dhave a hard time.

Re: Jira is the single source of suckage

Sorry by rewrite i mean recreate the UI, not changing a few things here or there, like an icon or how round a button is.

Take the JIRA search box, you can barely fit 5 - 10 characters and its full.

Who designed that ?

Re: Jira is the single source of suckage

Atlassian make Billions from JIRA and CONFLUENCE and yet they dont have the money to rewrite the UI after 20 years of milking billions from it.

Re: The way of [insert tech giant name here] I'm afraid

No you are not measuring the actual relative inbalance.

How about you compare the benefits and rights the average person in Australia or Western EU gets, im talking about stuff like free healthcare, paid holidays, maternity leave, sick leave, workers rights.

The problem is the arseholes in America have taken far more away from the little person in the name of greed than they have in other places. Whats even sadder in AMerica, people have been so brainwashed that half of them think free healthcare is wrong. THat only happens in America, the poor people vote Republican, because free healthcare is wrong, free healthcare that they badly need.

American greed is a disease, and you can be sure Google is definitely infected.

Israel and Italy have cheapest mobile data out of 237 countries

Im sure you will agree that its much better to be with friends in person than on facetime.

So i will repeat again if teenagers spend gigs on a mobile doing facetime, then they are losers, because being with friends in person is far better.

CowHorseFrog Silver badge

You didnt read my comment carefully.

i said if you need GIGS on a MOBILE is different from using GIGS on mobile internet on a computer.

I will elaborate, if you are using a mobile that often and using gigs then you are loser. Anybody who watches hours of anything be it video or web pages on a mobile is a loser.

CowHorseFrog Silver badge

If you need to do gigs on a mobile, then you are a far bigger loser than the money it costs.

In Google's world privacy is the last thing they want. THey cant make money on privacy their whole business is based on public selling of advertising. If all the lights turn off they have nothing to sell.

Re: Shame on IBM

Yup the leadership is so accountble they get paid millions...

Im just not sure what accountability means here, except getting another bonus.

Re: Where to begin?

Wake up sunshine, boards are only in business to give themselves bonuses. They dont make the sun shine or anything positive.

Re: Age IS the biggest form of discrimination in Hi-Tech

hahah...

theres an even bigger one and you are blind to it... - leadership bonuses.... you are so blind you cant even see this. What makes you think that corporate leaders deserve a bonus of millions and more and everyone else gets zero ?

CowHorseFrog Silver badge

Re: Age IS the biggest form of discrimination in Hi-Tech

A few comments up i mentioned that giving only bonuses to corporate leaders is discrimination and i got quite a few downvotes and not a single up vote...

I really dont get it - why so many people cant see this new discrimination right in front of their eyes, just like the idiots of the American south who couldnt see the inequality and evil of slavery being justified by their local preacher.

CowHorseFrog Silver badge

You fail to appreciate the core motivation for slavery was greed, and the measurement of this is extreme inbalance of reward between those who did the work and those calling themselves the leader. This situation today is the same.

THe sad thing is how many brainwashed people vote me down when they are actually on the lower paid side.

Only fools think slavery was about race, slavery has existed all over the world since the beginning of time. Its always been about greed, race is just one minor ex cuse used to fool idiots.

Re: PART 1625—AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT ACT

Steal a chocolate from a shop get 20 years, pay yourself millions in bonuses and fire thousands because you can even breaking laws like the abovementioned, you get nothing but more bonuses.

Yup America is the land of the free... just not sure free of what.

CowHorseFrog Silver badge

Im waiting for staff at any company to sue leadership for only paying leadership bonuses...

Surely thats discrimination... hardly any different from slave plantations, where the leadership paid themselves everything, and gave the actual real workers almost nothing.

Re: Really?

If we balance the good vs the bad of social media, its hardly a surprise which end will easily outweight the other. Its phsyically impossible to talk to thousands of people, the only people who need this type of audience are aresholes who want to sell you some bullshit.

CowHorseFrog Silver badge

Re: Shame about Mastodon

Thats because aresholes for all time always want more. Dictators never want to just take over the street they live on they want the whole country etc. The same is here at BS, they want bigger and more, and in the end most will get nothing. Just like a big c ity, more people means more time wasted because of the masses, which means the more people actually have less space, less time and less everything ...

Re: A long time ago...

THe simple answer too all this is to address the start or core of the problem.

Third advertising should be banned.

What ad systems on thew eb do is no different to stalking and surveillance in the real world. The leadership of these comapnies who love to pay themselves for stewardship of these companies shoudl be charged with so many counts of the above laws that they would rot in a small cell for thousands of years.

Re: Anything even 10% generated by one of these so called AI

Being an actor is probably the least skilled job in all of entertainment production. Basically anybody can be an actor, on the other hand a carpenter or any other set worker requires many years of skill and technique. Paying actors on some tv show a million dollars an episode is a joke, everybody else on set has actual skills, the actors themselves dont write their lines, build the set or do anything.

Thats because actors are performers who bullshit and want lots of money for the hard work of others just like corporate leadership.

Re: connected services as a strategic imperative and a driver of future revenue

Mach: Yeah, ok, but it's not possible for most people that aren't retired.

cow: Nonsense, there are many jobs that can be done from a home office. The problem is people are trapped into a mindset that this is not possible, just look at yourself. Your answer here implies my suggestion is an impossible choice.

Mach: Just being really cold isn't an excuse a boss might accept.

cow: Thats precisely the problem ive been hinting at. People in America dont appreciate what free speech actually means, and in this case it means to demand better working conditions.

Mach : I'd be very leery of public transportation in bad weather. For starters, I'd not want to wait at a bus stop or open platform and secondly, I don't want to be caught out somewhere if they stop operating or are behind. At least with a car I have some options.

cow: In other words Americans dont actually have freedom. Too many Americans have been brainwashed into accepting any crap condtions that their boss demands of them. Your answers simple cant grasp the concept of trying or demanding something different.

mach: I'd also worry about perishables in my grocery bag thawing or getting warm. I'd also only be able to pick up the things I could carry for 1/2 mile from the bus stop to my house.

cow: Going to the shop for food isnt the same as commuting to work. Travelling 5d a week to work into a prerequisite to going to buy food. THey are separate activities.

Re: "leaving airlines to decide if they want to cram passengers in"

What does that even mean ? Given you cant even list a few interesting or worthwhile activities basiclly proves my point.

What exactly is interesting in NYC ? Walking down streets with traffic and people everywhere ? People who you most avoid and will neve rtalk too, and stand in front of you in line or cause crowds and slow you down ? Im sure its very interesting to smell car fumes, and endless repetitive buildings,...

Some people are so boring they waste their weekends or holidays commuting or travel or whatever you want to call it.

Building Excel-like UI for Uber's China ops exposed Microsoft calculation quirks

CowHorseFrog Silver badge

> You see, when formulas create a circular reference, Excel will run that computation up to a number of times. If, in those computations, the magnitude of the difference between the most recent and previous computed values for the cell falls below some pre-defined epsilon value (usually a very small number, like 0.00001), Excel will stop recomputing the cell and pretend like it finished successfully.

Im sorry this doesnt sound right.. a circular reference is an error in both excel and algebra.

Re: "You deserve this more than me"

More people need to wake up and realise that theres no such thing as leadership. Almost always "leaders" are frauds who are nothing more than a tax on the business and good will of employees. Reading a self help or any type of leadership book for advice is bullshit.
