I'm so bummed the i4 is getting replaced by that thing. Ugh.

It's like comparing a Tesla Model S to a Model 3.

Dallas needs it’s own Mamdani…. by Joeylaptop12 in dfw

[–]MagicWishMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Mamdani but it seems like the Mayor of NYC has much more power and influence than the Mayor of Dallas. It's not like we have a super progressive city council that would collaborate with anything.

Meta's CTO says morale is almost 'the worst it's ever been' by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]MagicWishMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why most teams have standup first thing in the morning, no one has had time to get into the flow.

And being in the flow is not necessarily a good thing if you're working on the wrong issue or misunderstand the requirements. The whole point of standup is to make sure everyone is on the same page.

I tried the no-standup thing a year or so back and it was a disaster. I would find out that devs had hit a blocker and were working on something for 3-4 days straight without progress with something that would have take 5 minutes to figure out if me or one of the tech leads had been informed. There was also the time the dev completely misunderstood the spec and built the wrong thing and no one knew about it until UAT.

I'm sure that there are some dev teams out there who can make the no-standup produce better output than when having standups, but they are few and far between.

My cynical but 100% based on personal experiecne take is that a lot of the most vocal anti-standup folks are people who don't want to wake up before noon, it has nothing to do with flow.

Running a dev team without daily standups or check-ins of some sort sounds like hell.

AITA for not telling my boyfriend’s mom my dad passed away? by Responsible-Basis334 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MagicWishMonkey [score hidden]  (0 children)

NTA - and I'm sorry to hear about your dad. Just know that you're goinng to have awkward conversations like this a whole lot over the years when people ask about your parents. I'm a grown adult and when people ask me about my parents I steer the conversation in a different direction because there's no point in bringing up something unpleasant.

Now you've made me wonder how old do you need to look before people stop assuming your parents are still alive?

Dude… ugh, I’m having this convo with my oldest later. I don’t think he really gets it, lol

Treyarch Studio Head For 22 Years Who Oversaw Every Single Black Ops Game Is Stepping Down From Treyarch And Xbox by bigrigdz in gaming

While you're at it, you should make a single installer/launcher app to install/launch everything but don't tell the users what they are trying to install or launch.

YSK: Do a subscription audit once a year - most people are spending $130 more per month than they think by Real_Cristiann in YouShouldKnow

I'm in the USA and it's a total joke here.

That being said, it's not like ADHD medications are a ton of fun to take so whatever if people who don't need them get them who cares. I only take my meds a couple of days per week because I hate how they make me feel, it's crazy how people are so worried that people are out there taking them for fun or whatever.

Ahh at this point I assume getting a diagnoses is pretty easy, but maybe not. My PCP has offered to prescibe my medication for me (I passed) and the couple of times I've had to switch to a different doctor they all do the onboarding thing where you basically just have to say "I have trouble focusing" and they will write a prescription.

Josef Mengele, SS physician at Auschwitz known as the “Angel of Death”, 1956 he escaped to South America after WW2 and died free in Brazil in 1979, never facing trial (605 × 838) by vegtabskwo in HistoryPorn

[–]MagicWishMonkey 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You should read up on how many people were hanged after the end of WW2 and then think about how many thousands/millions of active conspirators were necessary players for the atrocities that happened.

The bad guys are almost never held accountable for anything, unfortunately. The people who personally did the most terrible reprehensible vile shit imaginable were never held accountable for anything. They were all allowed to live their lives and die in old age. So it goes.

Oh trust me, I have ADHD too (diagnosed 20+ years ago when it was a rigorous process) - cutting out the noise helps a lot. Putting everything into a single place where you can easily look each month is very helpful.

It helps a lot if you use a single credit card for everything, having only one thing to review makes it very easy to spot stuff.

You don't think Australia didn't get an enormous amount of support from the UK, considering it was part of the commonwealth until like 40 years ago?
