When the problem involves peers it has to be elevated to the next higher level for resolution. It is a management function called integration.
Internet content should not be recycled: Videos and pictures are forwarded forever through emails consuming bandwidth and storage and therefore energy and resources. This may also apply to copycat internet ideas whose number is overkill that most sites don't survive and can be considered just waste of resources. URL shortening is considered by the author as one of these.
The discussion spawned by the poor comment sometimes more than compensates for the little irritation the downvoted comment brought.
Makati. Poor Makati. Sa may Market sa C5.
Your environment can be duplicated in single team workplaces. The team agree on milestones and tasks for a period, say a week. Each member does his assignments without counting hours and at the beginning of the following week, do an accounting. Factor in or out intervening or external tasks. Team members don't have to be physically there to do things except those that need interaction with clients.
Repeat.
What's hard is when team members' weeks don't coincide :). Hey, my week is not over yet. I still have to do these things.
That's what we are doing now for the past months or so. It is effective especially if milestones are few and tasks need two or more people to get accomplished. We are a team of five.
That was what I meant when I said zero is zero years and so many months. Using integers (or even decimals) and without rounding, 0 years and 9 months is really zero. One will start 12 months (or the number of months the calendar is using) after the date of birth.
Edge cases, I would estimate, would account for 30% of a program's logic. When doing the first cut, I classify those as exceptions: abnormal values that generate, well, exceptions.
Time-bound edge cases are abundant, especially in financial apps. End of periods, beginning balances, ending balances.
Other edge-case values are max and minimum values, limits of whatever sort. And these don't include limits of systems, like how many times a stored procedure can be dropped and recreated, that are not commonly known or just ignored hoping the app will hold before the longint limit will be reached.
Yes.This came six minutes later. But people came here because of the point and the number of comments.
Chat is one of the features that could no be loaded due to a few errors.
But Google Docs is fine.
Oops... the system encountered a problem (#6502)
With computerized registries, age surely starts at zero, as in zero year and so many months. With rounding, age 1 will start after the sixth month.
For children's growth status tracking, the UN has a method in computing for children's age and have been localized. I have used the Philippine reference and age is computed in months. There is a 0 month age.
Culturally, I would presume you might be referring to parts of the Philippines where people start counting age at one. I have never heard of this. We celebrate the first birthday the usual way: one year after birth.
set a meetup. Then evrybody can suggest alternative dates/location or confirm your suggested date/location. An agenda would help to firm up everything.
