No wonder agile is hated
I think that the basic ideas are reasonable. Keep in touch with your team and evaluate the current situation, track progress, stuff like that.
It's just that the excessive codification of the practices becomes overbearing.
Byte order in which Unicode encoding? UTF-16LE?
Ah, gotcha. What type of cheese did it turn into, out of curiosity?
I've had no problem with various tools to compute ReplayGain levels. I currently use bs1770gain.
What about volume normalization is problematic for you?
I wouldn't. I'd leave things at now.
I think that the Internet has pretty much monotonically improved over time. Oh, sure, there are some things that I miss, but overall? Today wins solidly. Today:
Bandwidth is much higher.
Availability is much more widespread.
Security is a lot better in most respects. Used to be most traffic on the Internet wasn't encrypted.
Flash and ActiveX are gone on the Web.
IPv6 is widely available, alleviating address constraints.
Email spam is more or less solved, though it does make running your own mail server today a pain.
Open source is a lot more widespread and mainstream.
I'd say that the reliability of a lot of online services is better.
The widespread use of containerization and VMs has dramatically reduced the cost of having a small server in a datacenter.
GOG and Steam are pretty amazing ways to buy video games. The selection is inexpensive, readily available, and ludicrously vast.
Ditto for Amazon compared to brick-and-mortar plus mail order.
I liked the first book a lot, and recall liking the series less as it went on.
I guess...uh...that it'd be less dense, so that'd dick up tides on Earth.
https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/moonfact.html
Mean density (kg/m³): 3344
https://eurekamag.com/research/001/061/001061121.php
At 8 deg C, mean densities of blockformed and conventionally-hooped cheeses were, resp., 1.094 and 1.091 g/ml.
So that's 1094 kg/m³.
Basically, Earth's tides would be about a third as strong, which I imagine would affect a bunch of things, especially coastal ecology. Dunno how much tides affect weather.
Also, probably alters the reflectivity of the Moon, so would affect the brightness of the Moon. Might affect a lot of nocturnal critters and such. Hard to estimate, since that depends a lot on what cheese is involved.
Less energy density, though.
On the other hand, maybe a less-fire-risky battery would be grounds for increasing the current 100Wh maximum that the FAA places on laptop batteries.
While details of the Pentagon's plan remain secret, the White House proposal would commit $277 million in funding to kick off a new program called "pLEO SATCOM" or "MILNET."
Please do not call it "MILNET". That term's already been taken.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MILNET?wprov=sfla1
In computer networking, MILNET (fully Military Network) was the name given to the part of the ARPANET internetwork designated for unclassified United States Department of Defense traffic.[1][2]
Probably have better luck working on making mines that self-disarm to bound the time that they're a danger. If states assess mines to be militarily-important
and this war has shown them to be pretty useful
they probably won't forego them.
Harris raised a lot more than Trump did in the last presidential general election.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/06/us/politics/trump-harris-campaign-fundraising.html
The Democrats, their allied super PACs and other groups raised about $2.9 billion, versus about $1.8 billion for the Republicans.
I assume that it's legal to ride a gasoline-fueled moped in the bike lane. Does this make everyone happy?
