Threw a man’s belongings off a train because he was listening to music without headphones.
Worth it.

Nah we want you to start all your fucking about, get any beverage or condiments you might want, wash your hands, and have everyone at the table ready to eat when the food is ready.
And subsequently, not get any criticism while we’ve finished our meal and you’ve just sat down because you had to go to the garage to get a new bottle of OJ, pee that became a poop, wash your hands, and find the sauce you’ve suddenly decided to dig out from the back of the pantry.
I bought Minecraft when it was first purchaseable. Only converted my account last month as my new-school-entrant kid has asked what it is.
And honestly, I wish I didn’t. The MS launcher is an absolute shit show in usability for adults, let alone kids. Next time it forces me to log back in I’m just pirating it.
I bought two copies, I’ll fucking run them how I please.
If you still do the sizing (it’s not entirely wasted as it’s a reasonably effective tool to gauge understanding across the team), This can still be done without the artificial time boxing.
“How much work have we done in the last two weeks?” Just look at all the stories closed in the last two weeks. Easy.
“When will X be delivered?” Look at X and all its dependencies, add up all the points, and guesstimate the time equivalence.
Kanban isn’t a free for all, you still need structure and some planning. But you take most of that away from the do-ers and let them do what they do best… do.
They were first to market with a decent GPGPU toolkit (CUDA) which built them a pretty sizeable userbase.
Then when competitors caught up, they made it as hard as possible to transition away from their ecosystem.
Like Apple, but worse.
I guess they learned from their Gaming heyday that not controlling the abstraction layer (eg OpenGL, DirectX, etc) means they can’t do lock in.
While suing everyone else that makes shovel handles that work with your shovel heads.
Alternate headline:
Companies accept money for a thing that will happen anyway, and will be unable to prove if they say no.
GenAi is unfortunately here, and the technocracy wants you to want it so they can farm you for more and more intimate data to leverage and enforce their technocracy. And the only way they’re going to do it is by keeping the press positive, and feed it more and more data in the hopes it fixes things.
It takes two people, but only one married person to commit adultery.
I was expecting some sort of “Ai discovers new bug in 30 year old software”… cool I’m excited.
Then they were talking about how the bug was persistent, and I’m more intrigued “is the bug some weird emergent behaviour corrupting state somewhere?”
Nope, just another example of a shit in shit out data model.
Move to NZ. It’s nearly all c# here.
Come April, NZ will be charging EVs road user charges using the same price-per-kilometre mechanism diesel (diesel not have a fuel levy) vehicles use.
Soup is not food.
You can (or at least could) put Bravia TVs into “pro mode” and turn off all the shit.
Price discrimination should be illegal (with caveats, “student discounts” are considered PD, but not nearly as harmful as individual pricing.)
It’s a dishonest and exploitative practice, and wouldn’t surprise me that with just a few poorly selected datapoints (and with ML, every data point is poorly selected) discriminatory.
Surge pricing might not be price discrimination in the strictest sense, it’s still shitty.
Its true. The number of women who have declined a second date because I’m abhorrently boring.
The only reason I can think of to explain it is my 20 pairs of identical socks.
I suspect it’s a cost/capability/requirements thing.
The larger the corporation, the more likely they’re going to have SSO as a minimum requirement. The more inflexible your customers are, the more you can charge.
“Android auto for phone screens” is another product they killed: https://www.androidpolice.com/google-kills-android-auto-for-phone-screens/
Google-Wave your Google-Pay-Meet device over the Google-Reader and we’ll Google-Optimize your purchase so you can get back to Google-Hangouting with your friends faster than you can say “watch Google Play Movies & TV on Android Auto for phone screens”
This would be better if it fed the parent comment into ChatGPT prefixed with “create a plausible but factually incorrect aggressive response to <comment>”
Feed the machine to the machine!
Not entirely true.
In some countries (UK, NZ) Uber has to give you the price of the journey up front. Whereas taxis are metered and do not.
Uber UK has competition in thin regard with Minicabs, but the minicab apps are still shit.
Capped costs for consumers is a competitive advantage over taxis, and Uber has managed to find the sweet spot between hailing a taxi, and booking a minicab.
