  • "I was in the war, you know. Gunner in the air force. I shot down 27 enemy planes, but do they call me 'Richard Gunner'? No...

    "After the war I went into construction. Give some wood and nails, and I'll build you the nicest of houses! But do they call me 'Richard Carpenter'? No...

    "Then I went into politics. Spent my time speaking truth to power, ruffled some feathers, and was well-liked, but do they call me 'Honest Richard? No...

  • Any diet that has you eating the same thing all the time is gonna have some inherent problems. Your body's needs for various nutrients varies over time, and no "monodiet" will contain all the nutrients you need, in exactly the amounts you need them.

    At least, having a varied diet increases your chances of getting everything you need, though that is more likely to see you eating more than you need. There is no perfect solution.

  • What's funny to me is, the agile approach seems like it's a much better fit for open-source, non-commercial software development.

    The corporate world and is management practices based around quarters and deadlines can't seem to see how anything could get done without deadlines, but that's usually less of a factor with open-source. People laugh at "scrum masters" because in a corporate environment, all the scrum stuff tends to be mostly performative. But it seems to me that open-source projects with multiple contributors already kind of work in an agile manner.

  • Sometimes, the developers also being the users helps, as in your example. Sometimes, it's a hindrance, where the developer will just create UI that makes sense to them, but not to others.

  • In a recent by-election I voted in, the ballots were 2-3 feet long with 91 candidates on them. This was in Canada, where we only have paper ballots. The majority of the candidates only registered as part of a protest to get the govt. to reconsider other voting methods than FPTP.

  • The fact that he finds this joke funny says a ton about him. I get the roast comedy angle people bring up here, but I just don't see how anyone could find that line funny.

    I mean, I'm a leftist, an anti-racist, and yet there are are some racist jokes I still find funny due to the way they're crafted, even if I don't tell them anymore because some people still take them on the first degree (both racists and non-racists.)

    But I just don't see the joke here.
