When was the last time you bought a paper map and why ?
  • Hiking.

    I use digital when my life doesn't depend on it.

    Edit: bought it last month.

  • Study finds 268% higher failure rates for Agile software projects
  • Do you think the problem is that the person driving the requirements doesn't know what they actually want?

    I think a good BA is critical to the process because lots of end users have no idea how to put their ideas onto paper.

    I also think an MVP helps a lot because people can see and touch it which helps focus their needs.

  • Which is which?
  • I'm going in and committing to whatever I find inside.

  • TFS Has Leaked. No Spoilers here please.
  • I would agree and prefer I get a good surprise on Tuesday.

  • Tractor-trailers with no one aboard? The future is near for self-driving trucks on US roads
  • Work in transport. We have a severe lack of truck drivers in the US and a severe need. A few years ago the Prez of Texas Trucking Association stated he's encouraging his son not to go into the biz because of the tough work requirements. He is very clear that trying to hire new drivers is hard. The industry acknowledges connected vehicles with semi autonomous trailers and trucks can support the dire need to move product. In certain circumstances autonomous driving can be useful and reasonably safe. Highways are usually well lit, well marked and well signed. This all helps improve autonomous vehicle safety.

  • Google sucks.
  • Oh no... no need. Just frustrating how Google buys up good companies to expand their footprint and then shutters them when they've used them up for their temporary worth. It's like Smartthings. Amazing Kickstarter. Amazing community. Amazing API. Samsung slowly ruined it all to connect their devices.

  • But he's a good Christian!
  • Pics or it didn't happen... shit... AI...

  • Google sucks.
    www.howtogeek.com Google Is About to Shut down 3 Smart Home Devices

    Google is ending support for Dropcam cameras and the Nest Secure.

    Corporations now buy the carpet bomb factory to expand their bomb product line and then carpet bomb their own factory after the war is over.

    Yeah we are not like that
  • Ha...My hard left friends (and wife) are not fans of me not always agreeing with their perspectives.

  • Homemade Monkey Bread :)
  • God bless monkey bread.

  • Baltimore bridge collapses into river after being hit by cargo ship
  • Just anecdotal. I think it was enough to not fear it so much. The recollection is that the bad part is you are fighting to stay alive but when you give in and swallow all of the you get a state of euphoria... so I figure if you've got no choice just suck the water in and die happy.

  • Baltimore bridge collapses into river after being hit by cargo ship
  • That's a crime scene and a death scene. It's not going to go quickly. The good news is that it's a critical roadway and waterway intersection so the feds and state government have motivation to make haste.

  • Baltimore bridge collapses into river after being hit by cargo ship
  • I used to think drowning was the worst until I heard two accounts of people who drowned and were resuscitated. They said it was terribly peaceful. I'm good with it now.

  • Detective wore wig and posed as victim to catch US scammer who stole gold bars
  • They had her take her retirement money, pull it out and convert it to gold because they told her it was safest that way. They said by being physical the thieves couldn't take it. The irony.

    Come to think of it another old lady friend got taken for 20K but it wasn't the gold thing. I think it was just good ole graft. Sad story. Her kids took over her estate after consulting with her and are now forcing her to move into an old folks home. They are selling her home she's had for 50 years. A friend offered to buy it direct and they said nope... talk to the real estate agent. A holes.

  • AI voice over in early trailers
  • Thanks for your insight. That is interesting.

  • Detective wore wig and posed as victim to catch US scammer who stole gold bars
  • A lady down the street had her mom get taken for $500K of gold bars. She loaded it into their car. Thought she was part of a scheme that the FBI was investigating and she was to not tell her family else it would rope her family into the group of suspects. None of it makes sense but to her it was completely believable.

  • AI voice over in early trailers
  • Well, I'm the dumbass. This one seemed a little more legit but after a bit it just didn't smell right.

  • AI voice over in early trailers

    This may be out there already, but it seems like I have seen multiple teaser trailers (including Trailer 1 for Gladiator 2) that seem to have terrible writing and terrible voice overs that sound like AI.

    I did it!

    I picked my first lock today. It was a cylinder from a Yale deadbolt that I lost the keys to. I'm so pumped. I sat there for over an hour and finally watched a video to learn the pins are little pistons in Yales. I modified the pressure and approach and bam. It just clicked. Cylinder is now repinned to match my current Yale key. Wish I could cut my own keys. Then I'd be a full turkey service (ha... get it). I told my 12 year old who was making fun of me while I was doing it and she actually looked happy for me when I ran in and told her. She even let me show her how a cylinder and key are pinned.

    I'm a lurker...

    But here's to hoping this /c/ will gain critical mass!
