Re:A brief list of what Scrum gets wrong on Saturday April 21, 2018 @02:24PM (#16892577)
I am getting real tired of methologies and agile movements all together
It is not the developers responsibility. I am just speculating in why the game is so popular
Yes I sort of agree, but I still think the game is centered around violence and guns, the best gun, the most deadly gun, the recoil of a gun, the damage of a gun, headshots, murder. The way my nephews speak now is sickening. And I also think it is purposely crafted and targeted at children because of their consumer power. See my reply below
Yes, I have observed my two nephews over quite some time now. Even play it with them sometimes even though I suck. I don't have any strong opinion on the matter, but it is strange watching a whole community of 8-9 year olds(!) begging for ingame purchases and discussing detailed specs of Assault Rifles with their friends. And it is pretty clear (to me) what drives the money in this game, and for example Rocket League. Parents paying for ingame goodies of children. (Yes I know 8 yo is young. But most parents will stop caring because of the peer pressure, every classmate they have get to play the game.
Make it look like a cartoon without too much blood so that children can play it. Stuff it with memes and dances for children. Parents approve and ignore the fact that the child is playing an extremely violent (and detailed) game 12hrs a day and gets rewarded for shooting other players in the head. Parents pay up for lootboxes and micro transactions every time the child screams
Seriously @sandos, what are you working on there ? I want in
I don't understand how a machine becomes infected, it is perhaps not very clear yet? this article explains receiving an email containing a link OR a PDF with a link to a .hta file ? what a strange sentence. Can one get infected without user interaction, or even with a passive client ?

But what are you sharing ? pictures of what ? videos of what ? I only paste urls or logs .. and then there is normal chatting
Re:Total.js Messenger – A small alternative to Slack on Friday May 05, 2017 @12:32PM (#14274685)
What do you work with, that you need these functions so frequently ? I never once even thought about needing or wanting any of these features
I feel like I am in a very similar situation. Was lucky to work in a tight, high energy environment with real risk and spirited people for a couple of years. Now the growth is out of control and I don't know half the people in there. Employees are fighting for positions and roles under clueless management and it has become a soulles dull hell hole in a short year. The positive thing here is realizing what matters most to me. I don't care about money that much, and I'm not so sure it even matters to me what I do for a living as long as I experience that drive again. Thank you for posting the original post
Re:Ask HN: Developers with kids, how do you skill up? on Wednesday March 08, 2017 @11:30AM (#13821311)
Yes, the way I wrote that made it look bad. But I get 5 invitations per work day on average. In Outlook I have the option to Accept, Decline or set as Tentative. If I click Accept on 5 meeting invitations in a work day I will not be able to write a single line of code. So 3 out of 5 meetings I Decline with a message describing why. And yes, my organisation is obsessed with meetings, we are working on that

You are not alone. I find this disrespectful and very irritating. Probably depends on the tempo of your workplace. I am dodging meetings all day long, and when I join one I expect everyone to be prepared and fully focused

I want to quit
Re:Ask HN: What do you want to learn in 2017? on Monday December 26, 2016 @09:47AM (#13258388)
I want to learn how to walk on my hands. I will achieve this by repeated wall hand stands at home. I also want to learn how to live again and how to respect myself, so that I can create a distance between me and work, and stop wasting my short life in an office
Re:Ask HN: What have you achieved in 2016? on Saturday December 17, 2016 @02:55AM (#13199801)
Started in late February, I only managed 2.5 repetitions at that point :)

I can do 10 pull-ups now

I love it! Keep going. Feels very nice on mobile too. Very good selection of settings, and right where I want them
Re:Death to JIRA on Sunday December 11, 2016 @02:07PM (#13152556)
JIRA is a fantastic tool if management know how to use it, and how to limit themselves. Having used 2 other horrible alternatives I really miss JIRA

Methods do not work. Small groups of brilliant and inspired people work
Has anyone come acoss a list of infected devices for this one, or the ones infected with the adups spyware?

And more importantly, are there any kits/apps to detect or remove these?

Alcohol makes it worse. Need permanent removal

I want exactly the same thing!

A thing that removes thought loops from the brain
Re:How to make Slack less bad for you on Thursday August 25, 2016 @02:26PM (#12361231)
I am probably getting old. Having used irc as main communication channel for 8 years in a previous company, we now added slack on top of the mail and direct messenger methods at my new workplace. I can not get used to it, at all. It is nothing but a distraction of half wit and delayed misunderstandings. I even dislike the ui. May be the staff is not ready, maybe just give it a little time. Maybe I just got too used to email
Hey, how do I set this up with local storage ?
