> That's because most organisations/teams/departments/... claiming to be agile are not agile
I have yet to see an Agile that is actually agile. And every time the problem is pointed out someone would say “it is not real agile”.
If it happens in majority of cases, then this is the real Agile. If it actually worked differently management would never pay good money for sundry agile consultants.
You guys should accept that you lost and Trump is a president now. It is not healthy to live your life full of hatred.
Trump derangement syndrome is damaging your health more than anything.
Why we in the U.K. can live without hating people who voted for the government we don’t like? Instead we try to figure out what we did wrong that lost out side the voters.
> Imagine all those policemen / women who got hurt during the Capitol riot
More police are hurt in riots instigated by the other side.
This obsession of a demo that for a reason of FBI incompetence ended up temporarily occupying Capitol is just stupid.
We have regular hate marches in London in support of Muslim Arab supremacists of Hamas calling for ethnic cleansing of Jews,
But disagree with them and you are talking about”far right”.
“Far right” is everyone who disagree with current woke dictatorship so being called so is a badge of honour these days.
> You still haven't answered the question - and I suspect that no one will. Small shops have exactly the same health and safety responsibilties as large shops and the law makes no recognition of size of the business in the case of an H&S breach.
Have you considered that the law is stupid when applied to sites of any size?
It is just that when the size of a site os small it makes the stupidity of the law more obvious.
The Left is about bannng everyone who disagrees with them. It is always the case, and it is clearly seen here on the Register.
And it is no surprise that the Left is so afraid of the public enquiry about rape gangs - they know that such ensquiry will show that it is the Left propensity to ban “inconvenient truth” that lead to the perpetrators able to commit their heinous crimes for very long time - it is the Left who accused everyone raising the issue at the time of “Islamophobia”.
Why Labour Party and the Left in general is so afraid of the rape gangs public enquiry?
Is it because the enquiry will find that it is the Left propensity to call everyone “far right” and accuse them of “Islamophobia” that was the reason why the authority were afraid to investigate the rape accusations?
The Labour is still using the same tricks to avoid scrutiny.
> Native English speaker here, and I also think its the easiest language in the world.......
That is because you are a naive speaker.
For non-speaker English is quite difficult. More difficult than, say, Italian. Just the fact that spelling is quite random makes it really hard.
> If pronounciation of the new language is not too dissimilar to the native speaker, then probably the most important criteria in classifying it as 'easy' is does the new language sentence structure follow the native one.
You are wrong again.
The most difficult and time-consuming part when you actually learn a language is to learn vocabulary. So the farther away the language is from your native one, the more difficult and frustrating it is to learn. There is no magic way to go around learning the vocabulary.
As for pronunciation English is not easy for speakers of other languages. Plus it is more difficult to listen compared, say, to Spanish or German due to its pronunciation.
> The idea that someone who turns up and finds the bug that has evaded discovery by all the other experts (and fixes it) in about 10 minutes must be a great genius
Usually it just means someone with a lot of experience. You learn what to look for by having years of solving problems.
> You're referring to Elon Musk, aren't you?
After Trump winning election some people went completely bonkers and can’t avoid talking about it all the time. And now they have two “boogeymen” - Trump and Elon.
You need to get some cancelling, this life of hatred is bad for your health.
> I assume it will eventually happen if X continues to flout the law regarding hate speech
Yes, the “laws on hate speech” where definition of “hate speech” is the “speech that does not fit my woke ideology”.
You can call to murder Jews in Middle East, it is not “hate speech”, you can call to murder rich people, it is not “hate speech”, but not being happy with a man winning a woman’s sport completion - that is a “hate speech”.
> Recharge points: Not nearly enough ultra rapid points. Yet.
It is not even the rapid charging that is the problem, it is the home charging (lack of driveways for many people) and destination charges (what chance is there to charge at a hotel?).
We have a plug-in hybrid that works for us (we have a driveway, my wife’s commute is short enough and I commute by public transport). We would have an EV if we needed a second car, but we are a one-car family.
The ability to just drive using petrol makes things much easier. I can’t imagine how stressful our recent journey to France would be if we did it in an electric car.
> their home just got bombed by Israel or Russia
I am sure those who’s homes were bombed by Russia would be good workers, but do we really want more of those Muslim fundamentalists (these are those who Israel tend to bomb after they start wars against Israel)?
Even other Arab countries don’t want them.
> Isn't it in the best interest of companies using open source projects to make sure those are well staffed
No, it is not. By supporting development they would also support their competitors, not just themselves.
Anyway I am opposed to paying for Open Source. You decided to undercut your competition by releasing your software free of charge, you should not then be able to make money on it.
> Chrome must be taken out of the hands of Google
It is private property. Taking it of means theft.
What we need is a plethora of different competing browsers,
Unfirtunately today’s UI developers who prefer to sold out to Chrome and are unwilling to support multiple browser. Just like 20 years ago when we had “this site is better viewed in IE” we have “this site is better viewed in Chrome”.
Actually no.
They tracked the aircraft visually and switch on the radar just before they launch the missiles thus avoiding the radar to be destroyed if it constantly emitted before that. The Soviet-made missiles were designed to be guided by a radar so they would not otherwise hit the target.
> The IDF are terrorists because they indiscriminately bomb Palestinian camps
And you ar3 an idiot listening to Muslim Arab supremacist propaganda.
First - they are not “camps”, they are cities with real houses and shops and everything where people who live there lived for generations. The only reason they are called “camps” is because UN is in the Arab pocket. These “Palestinians (Levantine Arabs in reality - same as those living in Jordan or Syria) are the only people on Earth where “refugee” status and UN payout are inheritable by multiple generations.
Second - if IDF actually bombed indiscriminately, there will be nothing left of Hamas and Gaza by now. The problem for Israel is that it is IDF that is expected to care about Arab lives more than the Arab government (Hamas) cares about their own people. Hamas, the government of Gaza, included civilian death and hiding behind civilians as part of their original plan on how to survive the aftermath when they planned last October’s massacre.
> Does Hezbollah have centralized pager procurement so that only Hezbollah members carry them or do innocent people also have them (seems so, if there's an eight-year-old girl killed)?
She was a daughter of Hamas member. He probably asked her to bring a pager lying somewhere in the house when it went off because he was too lazy to stand up himself.
I suspect it was a centralise procurement by Hezbollah for Hezbollah members that got “contaminated” on its way between the manufacture to the buyer.
The left-wing ideology is about being selfish and hating everyone who is a bit better off than you. This is why they inevitably produce a lot of hate speech about millionaires.
The unions are simply helping some workers (unionised) to get more money at the expense of other workers (not unionised). If everyone unionised the unions will control economy and everyone will be equally poor as there would be nobody to steal from.
> most Java stuff is noticeably more sloggy and memory piggy than C/C++
And still more newer server-side applications are written in Java rather than C…
Java performance is quite reasonable for the purpose it is used (compare it to Python).
What Java never delivered on is UI, as a sever-side general application language it did deliver.
> This may require some arm twisting of the Linux C devs to say tough, you're going to have to work with these guys (you don't need to learn rust to do that, much like backend Web devs normally don't need to know Javascript)
And why would they allow this arm twisting?
Linux depends on existing C developers, not some guys coming from outside and trying to “arm twist”.
Write your own OS.
