Now that I am in my forties, simply having a bad night of sleep can have me forgetting names of colleagues and messing up the names between the dogs and my daughters. Lack of sleep…

100% that. The only way to filter on the seller is to dig to the deepest category level, which is not ideal.

I live in Quebec which is 100% hydro, thus clean.

I am a French speaking Québécois and do work with many French people (downtown Montreal). You can't deny that the French French and Québécois French uses a lot of different words. …

I am Québécois and am in no way hostile to other languages. What we are protective of is that the official language is French, for historical reasons yes. Meaning, if I encounter a…

Hey, don't worry to much about your accent. I am Québécois and French is my first language. I can speak English very well apart from that terrible accent... I used to work at a pla…

I have an uncle who speaks 6 different languages; he really likes picking up new ones. I once had a discussion about how he could pick them up so quickly and he basically said what…

Boeing has sued Bombardier to keep it from selling their C-Series aircraft in the US which ultimately led to Bombardier basically giving away the aircraft to Airbus to stop bleedin…

>The timeboxing of planning is also a very bad idea. I worked at a place where we had a timebox of 2 hours for planning but really after that we were nowhere near a realistic plan …

"Agile" is a set of principles and values as defined in the Manifesto for Agile Software Development. If how you work contrary to those principles, then you simply are not "Agile",…

MagSafe! I am still angry that they dropped it, can't understand the decision on that one.

I don't know much about all those and I experienced VR (other then the Avatar movie) for the first time this weekend at my friend's place on his PSVR. I really enjoyed Moss and sti…

That's funny because STS-1 was actually made in an iterative way. If it's good enough for a shuttle, I guess it's good enough for about anything else. https://www.cs.umd.edu/~basil…

Being a "minimum viable product", it may actually be quite big and take a long time to reach. To me, the goal of properly defining an MVP is that you do everything needed but nothi…

In many industries as well as many government branches it still works just like that. They do not mandate a way of "writing the code", but software projects must pass gates and rec…

It was actually mandated for many government projects for a while. A good history of iterative development can be read here: http://www.craiglarman.com/wiki/downloads/misc/history-…

> The average consumer conflates iOS apps with Apple More then 1 person assumed I worked for Apple when I told them I was developing iOS apps; so you are totally right!

That's the point the OP was making. He is fine with paying 100$ for sushi (or not eating sushi) if it means there are fish left in the oceans.

It wasn't meant in the sense of "I know it leaks because of the smell", it was literally said as "The leakage is caused by the smell". The conversation was in French so I have to t…

Yes, it does. For testing, in smaller business, this is fine however as you can register up to 100 devices. Enterprise certificates were much easier to use in big enterprise though…

You can use Ad Hoc deployments, which is what I used to do on TestFlight before it got acquired by Apple.

It reminds me of a funny argument I had a while back. My then girlfriend old apartment had cast iron plumbing and a joint in one of the pipe had a very small leak that smelled pret…

If you would have gotten a 0 then your science teachers failed you I'd say. A failed experiment is just as valid a result as a successful one if the goal is to gather data.

We buy those wedges at Costco and they last us about 2 months haha! But we use the stuff everywhere: On pasta, on grilled asparagus, in risotto, etc. Everything's better with good …

Why wouldn't they?
