To me this is a key change in a direct reports development. When they first start they need to be told what tasks to do; then they develop to asking for permission to do tasks that…

it is full of bugs. on my tablet on YouTube I can't leave comments until I have tapped 20 odd smiley faces and waited 20 seconds to 2 minutes.

Always have blue ink on the side of my hand where I have dragged my hand across the page and through my writing. Fountain pens were particularly messy.

I am so glad Titchmarsh's trousers are a threat to the North Korean regimes hold on it's people. What else can we throw at them, Angela Rippon's legs?

Not even comparable. The amount the water companies have been draining into rivers and the sea around the UK is embarrassing, especially when they still pay out dividends to share …

In the southeast of England where would this storage reservoir be?

I filmed it on my phone so I can watch it roll over later...

Why am I not surprised.

Yes the days of SCOC were great but the days of SCOX were dark. I left just before the Caldera take over.

At last some sense. You also cannot build your way out of a housing crisis. Something the UK government and local councils haven't yet understood.

They (imho) ruined Spitalfields market when it was developed a decade or so ago. A similar large open space market that used to serve indoor independent food stalls; a market and i…

Never really felt the need but I suppose there has always been an updated_when field, so for something that is deleted the updated_when provides the time stamp.

I agree, programming is still fun. Problem is my job has changed due to my age and experience and has migrated into something I don't want to do or can't do that well, managing oth…

'A'gile is broken and should be stopped. I am seriously considering doing something else than the job I love for the reasons in this post.

I think it is as much as where you consume it. Supermarket prices for alcohol have increased but no where nearly as much as in pubs and bars. So the drinking is happening somewhere…

Probably get burnt for this but too many animated gifs.

Agreed, so many times I've raised paging with an internal API provider only to be told they can retrofit it later if needed. Then you start to use production data and bam the one c…

Seems to be the same story over and over. I am also a senior dev who was was taken in as tech lead which on day one turned in to scrum master but told to keep it light and develop …

"Babbage had the habit of trying to upsell his investors into a more complex, more risky, more academically interesting device without completing the last one." Omg the oracle busi…

I would love to do that but unfortunately every organisation I've been in demands that I set them at the start of the year. Then at the end of the year I can reflect on all the goa…

PM person, any chance of having a word with those who decided to charge the free gsuite plan users? I think I gave you over 10 years of free testing. I know I've had it good for fo…

And if your company wants to "flatten the structure" running into that person is more likely and you will run in to them. I also have a problem with ex-developers who work their wa…

I think SCO (SCOC not SCOX) ported so much of their own and MS stuff from Xenix 2.3.2 to 2.3.4 over to SCO UNIX SysV 3.2v2.0 to keep MS Word working I can well imagine (and I think…

At SCO in the mid-90s we were playing with very similar ideas to boost DB performance. The main motivation was the same then as it is now, don't block and avoid making system calls…

I think people forget what it was designed for. It was to reboot IT education which was (is) badly floundering. It's success was so good it started to be used in small commercial a…
