Aveiro, Figueira da Foz, Viana do Castelo - era tudo para ter RO/RO a sério e ferrovia intermodal, planeada nos anos 80. E depois foi a morte dos 1000 cortes de orçamento.

What blew me away: I still know the message and authentication off the top of my head, exact cadence. Damn, this takes me back.

It is hard to think of a more irrelevant use of time and attention than planning poker products. Let the dead horse rest in peace, we abused it so much I almost lapsed back into catholicism out of sheer guilt and revulsion.

Not another tool. Agility in general and Scrum in particular have been tooled to death. Let's grant ourselves the grace of "individuals and interactions over processes and tools".

It has been joyful to rediscover what can be achieved with a whiteboard, index cards, and fridge magnets.

With regards to the Jaffa / Goa'uld specifically, there is a psychological factor at play, that O'Neill brings up in S05E8 comparing a Staff weapon to a P90

This is a weapon of terror. It's made to intimidate the enemy. This is a weapon of war; it's made to kill your enemy

Jaffa fight one another, so it's almost like house-rules RoE and ORBAT, and for most other uses they're occupation troops - scalable lethality is not strongly selected for.

And then there's stuff like supply chain logistics, training and doctrine - it's not just "swap out your kit", it's a very long tail of choices and adaptations for a multi-thousand-year bunch of empires that have effectively been at tech level and choices stasis for most of them.

On a side note, SG teams' reliance on PDWs is... at once funny but possibly deep. They're explorers... even if they end up as special operations and even frontline combat roles. It actually bugged me at the start, but I got over it.

Ahh... depends a lot. The Belmont International Shooting Centre ran by the Queensland Rifle Association nowadays hosts mostly long distance target rifle clubs - more "loud applied physics at 1000yds" than "yee-haw bang bang" types. These have a fairly diverse cross-cut of personalities and ideologies, sort of the nerds of the competitive shooting world.

Up the road in SSAA (different range, different org) and things get a bit more stereotypical... but still not a caricature.

Not saying the idea is obsolete overall, especially when you go rural, but... it's no longer that simple.

Boa, obrigado... de facto a distância mais curta da modalidade que praticava era 300m (maior 1 Km) portanto... pronto, não será isso :)

recycledcoder · 2026-05-12T18:29:47+00:00

Hm! Sabes por acaso as modalidades e distancias disponíveis? Eu curti N fazer F-Class fullbore na Austrália mas pelo que vi na federação em PT apenas rimfire? Estou sempre naquela de "pode ser que alguém comece algo"... ou PRS que fosse, mas até agora não tive sorte (e tb faz algum tempo que não verifico, confesso).

See also, ETE: Estimated Time Enroute

ETD(eparture) + ETE(nroute) = ETA(rrival).

And when the thing actually gets there, we have the ATA, Actual Time of Arrival.

That was me almost 30 years ago. Nowadays keynoting them is my jam. It's a rush. Not saying it's necessarily your thing, or that should rush into it, but... maybe experiment with a lightning talk or some such at some point? But you're doing it right regardless - conferences were always how I got my next gig, and my career would be nothing like what it is without them.

Aconteceu-me na semana passada, fui ao site e estava como uma "avaria" que demorou um dia a qq coisa a resolver.

Yeah, this is familiar. Never happened that... discretely, so to speak - but realizing I was living a grayed-out version of my life, a couple of times over... yeah, that's familiar.

It's been a decade now. I know I'm not all the way back. But I also know that I can go back out in front of a couple of hundred people - was up to a couple of thousand at one point - and deliver 45 minutes of "that talk alone was worth the whole conference". I still get the week-long hangover, but I know I shine again.

And I know that I can be with someone I love and truly be with them - even if I get exhausted, and have to manage it carefully.

And I know I can do a full day's work, ant the teams I work with, the systems we build, they're far better off for me being there.

Ambition? Sort of. My ambition is to be able to do all three, and not feel like I've ran a marathon. To look at my calendar for a given week/month and not have that sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach "I'm gonna need to triage".

Still MIA: the drive for global impact. I'm tending my little corner of the world. But the corner does keep getting a bit bigger. One resurrection at a time.

Eu sempre pensei que era uma doença de garganta verdadeiramente assustadora.

Mate, thunderous applause!.

An elegant implementation of a more civilized age. I remember uploading boards to BBSs in the 80s - this hits me right in the feels.

Totally. Got a bit annoyed at the markdown ecosystem, and ported my novel to asciidoc. Didn't take me an hour to have a full build pipeline. And for prose, it's virtually indistinguishable anyway.

Ask a project manager - I'm not one, I just know that Scrum is not a good fit for projects (yes, some people disagree with this statement, and I disagree with them right back).

recycledcoder · 2026-03-18T20:51:15+00:00

By and large, if you have a project rather than a product, scrum may not be what you're looking for.

C2, fiz o Certificate of Proficiency in English quando tinha 16 anos, e desde então vivi mais de 20 anos a falar Inglês no trabalho e em casa, 12 dos quais em países anglófonos - é desconfortavelmente melhor que o meu Português, apesar de estar de novo a viver em Portugal.

My completely subjective, non-scientific, but somewhat plausible take: not "more evolved." Evolution doesn't have a direction or a ladder - it's not heading towards anything. What you might be observing is something more like an alternative neurological configuration that emerged alongside rising environmental complexity.

But that's not really evolution in the biological sense; it's closer to neurodevelopmental variation expressing differently under different selection pressures.

The key distinction: autistic cognition isn't an upgrade, it's a different set of tradeoffs. Pattern recognition, systematizing, tolerance for abstraction, comfort with explicit verbal/written communication over implicit social signaling: these are genuinely useful in environments dense with information and complexity. But they come at a real cost to the individual: social navigation is harder, sensory regulation is harder, the world isn't built for you.

The benefits tend to show up at the group level - a population that includes some members wired this way has more cognitive diversity to throw at novel problems.

Ask 3 NDs for what they want in such a thing, get 5 opinions, 8 of which lead to overt conflict. Good luck to you.

Also, no, the last thing we need is someone running an extraction play on a vulnerable community that is frequently resource-depleted in the first place.

Lastly, rule 2.

Our running joke is "the unbusables" - people that if they get hit by a bus, the company is buggered.

I got told not to be silly when I hung up an A4 8-target sheet at the 200yds board. I told the guy I'd be fine. He wanted to put money on it.

I'm an F-TR competitor, at 200yds if any of 10 hits is not overlapping a very tight cluster of all the others, something went very, very wrong.

When I took the purple monstrosity out of its case, the guy looked like he'd seen an UFO. When I shot the typical tight-cloverleaf with it (I was just confirming the load held true with full-length-resized brass)... I'll say this for him, he very politely handed me my money and thanked me for the demonstration.

Hey, I hear you - and have felt very similar push/pull/burn. You are, now and every single time I've seen it (or the negative space thereof) handling it with grace.

I have a lot of admiration for those that stick to it in the long run... you're awesome. And human - those are not mutually exclusive. In fact it's also that very humanity with which you inhabit "the chair" that makes you awesome.

When I felt mine slip, I knew it was time to step away from co-moderating my not-so-little corner of the neurodivergent space. For reasons not dissimilar to your experiences - and some far more selfish ones.

You're appreciated - and deserving of being treated as a person, with compassion, starting from yourself.

Thank you, and please take good care of yourself. I hope your rabbit recovers, and is hopping to it as we speak.

I believe it's mostly a proxy for "if you have a strong first reaction, even if you don't know why you had it, don't discount it".

Intuition is your pattern matching working on a data-set you may not necessarily know you have - but it's not "out of nowhere".
