Sorry, but how are a lot of the questions relevant for this community?
Especially concerning the (family) income, age, being neurodivergent etc. These are sensitive information and seem more fitting for a market survey/selling ads.
What is your goal with the answers? What are your research questions? How will the answers help this community?
Good points, and I mostly agree with you, especially with feedback loops!
Still, I never argued for waterfall. This is a false dichotomy which - again - comes from the agile BS crowd. The waterfall UML diagram upfront, model driven and other attempts of the 90s/early 20s were and are BS, which was obvious for most of us developers, even back then.
Very obviously requirements can change because of various reasons, things sometimes have to be tried out etc. I keep my point, that there has to exist requirements and a plan first, so one can actually find meaningful feedback loops, incorporate feedback meaningfully and understand what needs to be adapted/changed and what ripple effects some changes will have.
Call it an iterative process with a focus on understanding/learning. I refuse to call this in any way agile. :-P
… I cannot count the number of times at my different workplaces where we had an agile process, dailies and everything else of the agile BS for projects which where either trivial or not solvable. No worries, the managers, product owners and agile coaches made money and felt good, we developers went for greener pastures…
Agile is a scam, nothing they do is based on any facts and when you challenge agile coaches / other people which profit it is always ‘I believe’ or ‘proven by anecdote’.
Combine this with the low quality of people in the average software projects and you have a receipt for failure.
Writing the requirements first at least forces people to think trough a project (even if only superficial), so I am not surprised the success rates for this projects goes up.
This. I really don’t understand the down-votes - using the correct words makes life easier for everyone, including the OP.
Because we are men/gals of culture! :-P Hadouken! ;-)
Nice, I love Yakuza, really very special in the world of gaming! :-)
(No order, might be not exactly 10 :-P)
Thanks, great write-up!
This! So great when simmering/cooking stuff one has to fish out of a pot. Mine is used almost daily at home!
Perhaps for perspective, because ‘rich’ is relative and I am always surprised how hard it is to forget that every person/class lives in a world of their own.
When I was studying, I had to work to support myself, coming from a working class background. My whole time at the university was like visit mandatory courses, study, work and use weekends to study some more/do classwork. My parents could neither help me financially or with advice.
I meet a study friend from a normal ‘middle class’ background on the street. He would spent many weekends to do short trips, go sailing, visit family, … perfectly fine and I am happy he could afford to live like that. During our conversation he mentioned casually, that he was going on a multi week vacation, because ‘Sometimes you just need to get out and see something else.’. He didn’t mean it in bad faith, I just felt like shit because at that time I haven’t had vacation for multiple years.
Now, I am perfectly fine with my friend living a good life. What really gets to me, though, is that for example the middle class takes all their privileges for granted and nowadays you can suddenly read in newspapers discussions, if it is still worth to go work if you cannot even afford to buy your own flat/house. Where I live, working class couldn’t afford to buy a flat/house for decades now, but there was never a discussion whether it would still be worth for the working class to work. The discussion is more about how to force the working class to work more for less.
So Firefox Nightly for Linux on top of Arm64 hardware, like Apples, Lenovos, a whole bunch of Chromebooks etc.
Wow, only took them … years!
If perhaps pretty please Mozilla realizes that an official ARM64 Flatpak is the perfect distribution channel for their nightly (and hopefully soon stable) ARM64, I’ll be happy and they did a great service to the Linux community. (Especially regarding Fedora Atomic Desktops / Aeon.)
I wonder, if you are asking two different questions:
For 1. it depends which desktop environment you use, Gnome/KDE have this update notifications out of the box, for other DEs (Xfce, LXDE, etc.) you might need to enable this with the installation of synaptic or similar.
For 2. Debian stable does not ship bugfixes but Debian stable ships security fixes. I highly recommend to subscribe to Debians Security mailing list, especially for security fixes concerning browsers and other stuff.
Edit: I have enabled automatic updates and I still receive regular notifications via Gnome Software, at least once per week.
The ‘artist’ faces a potential 2 years in prison (!).
Of course I assume he won’t be put in prison for 2 years, still, the German legal system is a bad joke. Politicians/managers of companies who willfully and knowingly harm society have nothing to fear, putting an image on the wall has the potential to bring you behind bars.
Very nice, should be a top level post so nobody misses it! :-)
Don’t worry, while you are waiting for Windows to react to your input, you can enjoy watching some ads in the near future! :-)
WTF, is there no death sentence in Japan for crimes against humanity and the damage done to rich peoples bottom line? /s
Thanks a lot for your answer! :-)
Thanks for your answer, I guess fair enough. ;-)
Good luck for your survey!
