I have a friend who’s a new PM (in scaled agile). He isn’t up on expectation management.
We have a process where we request data from another agency which takes “from 7 seconds to 12 days”
And of course he tells people that. And of course they hear “7 seconds”
I have told him that if the SLA is 12 days, say “less than 12 days”
As much as people hate Musk, Tesla is unusual in that they allow you to opt out of all connectivity. Get no updates, send no video, audio, or data to the company
I miss CRT monitors in text mode with the field in “idle CRT screen” black and the text in cyan
Dark mode tries, but always goes for maximum contrast
When taxes are reduced, the reduction rarely exceeds the recent decades’ bracket creep.
As
That looks like an oddly capitalised “as”
That really gives the reason it’s acceptable to use apostrophes when pluralising that sort of case
We have a clean desk policy at my workplace too, we also don’t take classified documents home
We need to provide a photo of our home work area as part of our application for work from home. It’s needed as part of the employer’s duty of care - managers are supposed to examine the photo and determine its a safe work area
Really all that happens is a photo is attached to the application and never looked at
I doubt American employers have any duty of care towards work from home employees.
I bet the unblurring was about being able to see the documents. AI blur is pretty aggressive at blurring anything that isn’t a face
Lucky kids
Disney will happily spend a million to defend against 50k if they have a chance of getting a court decision that their contract is valid for everything associated with the Disney brand
I’m 47, and the early games for me were clear. Five year olds don’t get to play arcade machines in 1982, but they do get to play an older relative’s game and watch
And that stuff is memorable
I doubt the post iPad (maybe the post home computer) people have much chance though. 3 year olds have games made for them, though they’re in this thread, naming popular games
Octopus on a Nintendo game and watch (though it’s hard to put things in order, I had a knockoff portable game in 1987 “submarine battle”, and I feel the Nintendo has to be earlier, or what else could the knockoff be knocking off? Yeah game and watch was 1980 onwards)
If they didn’t properly test validation I would complain about that, what that regularly miss is a test showing correct function for each major use case
As a PO I’m usually asking QA for some tests that actually show the product meets the requirements
There might be 50 pages proving it rejects bad input, and nothing showing it can successfully handle a perfectly correct case. We seem bad at training testers.
When it happens the repair is replacement of the screen. This is one of many reasons to check the repaiability of a device before deciding which to spend your money on
I said this in the Australia x-post of this and will repeat it here:
Australia isn’t afraid to be racist as fuck on our own behalf. In 2023 we voted down an anti-racist (pro indigenous) change to our parliament in six out of six states and one of two mainland territories. Only the capital territory voted in favour.
If America asks us to be more racist, discriminate against a white guy against our own sporting interests for being a decent human in dealing with American black men, of course we will. That’s easier than participating in an illegal war which we’ll also do just because America asks.
That’s her 5 year old kid’s. Super sweet :)

I have felt vertigo in high places in regular 3D games like Minecraft. I have to sit for VR Ghost Busters
I can’t imagine how immersed I’ll be in more immersive VR
