While you might be right on certain points in your comment, the generalization in the very first sentence discredits those a lot.

Better title would be: "Bard now open to use in some countries"

So I grew up in a(n at that time) socialist country, and boy we had poor TV shows in the eighties. But then Shogun arrived at first in TV form. It was magical compared to those (mostly) Czech TV soaps. Then one day I went to the local bookshop (I was a small town boy, small bookshop, and as you may guess the books that were allowed to be published were not covering the whole sci-fi/fantasy/literature spectrum...). And there was this beauty both in hard- and soft cover. Luckily, my parents allowed me to buy the softcover version, which soon looked like a really worn out phone-book. I read it like 3-4 times at that time. Then re-bought it later, and re-read. I love it so much.

What I had figured in this past ~10 years since working with Jira: it is not this software that made my life hard but the project managers, administrators etc. who are misusing it.

E.g creating lots of fields with overlapping meaning. Creating very basic/lame status-flows but not enforcing it. Or creating very hard to follow status flows. Or misreading the data from tickets status history. Or never trying to learn how to use it but find the guy at (my) table, to create the queries, dashboards etc. (and then misuse them). Or the devs who were complaining about missing info but creating one-liner comments as well (if at all). Or the devs who are not searching for duplicates, similar issues and/or link them so it can be tracked.

It is far from perfect, and JQL is so far from being intuitive, but I can live with it - until there is a better alternative that is capable AND I have to use that.

In my opinion if the lockdown has helped keeping the death ratio per 100000 person at around 1 as was the case for e.g. New Zeeland (if I recall correctly), then it's worth it - from the value of human life point of view. Then there are economic/capitalist point of views for which I don't care. Especially if the lockdown could save some loved ones. But this is just an opinion.

So this will sound like bitter, burnt-out comment and honestly been there, did that... and now I'm bitter again due to recent events at my recent workplace, but again this is just a pattern I have recognized along the 25 years I've spent working on banking software and later after the burn-out with a large telco.

So the programming joke:

The managers, especilally mid-level, and project owners.

Could You please elaborate on how LBJ changed the game? I think, currently Curry did with his shooting skills, and somewhat Harden too - tho I hate the step-back threes due to it should be called travelling at least one out of three times. LBJ: great skill-set, great athlete but changing the game?

Could You please add a single example for faster solutions to modify several (text/source) files' contents at once with mouse and/or touchpad mainly (or any other already existing HCI interface)?

> Vi is ok for viewing files on a terminal, and for small edits, but it’s rather mediocre for any significant amount of development work.

May I ask what prove this?

With `fgrep` and quoteing in 's You don't have to escape anything.

Wingspan, of course.

Some details that as it appeared (in Hungarian) on the Civil Liberties Union blog ( jelenti.blog.hu/2019/01/25/igy_kert_bortont_etikus_hacker_vedencunkre_az_ugyesz ):

(it was translated to English by me, sorry for any mistakes):

- he was invited to visit Telekom's office (the expenses was on him), and wanted to give them the details

- he was not convinced by the meeting that they'll solve it (close the doors): tried again, successfully (yep, that's a bit grey hat).

There are several issues not with the hacking, according to the Hungarian Civil Liberties Union:

- the prosecutors used a way too generic accusation which missed several important details, like [regarding the crime] when, how, etc.

- the accusation claimed that the hack was done by using the Internet (seriously).

- they (the prosecutors) offered a deal of "admit the crime == free to leave" but when the guy denied they asked for more prison.

- the prosecutor stated: "we are not IT people but we know from the media (!) that with Internet and certain competence he could have hidden more of his digital footprints". And the prosecutors didn't asked for expert advisory for more than one an a half year long.

- they asked for 8 years because the hacker should have been able to disturb a public interest service, though the company claimed that this server/service was not affected any of their customers.

~20 years ago I was working for a relatively small banking software company (in Hungary) (it was a really good job from the learning point of view, but was really underpaid).

One Monday afternoon one of our clients just called that the banks officer's suddenly can't log in, random strange errors are getting displayed for them, etc.

OK, our support team tried to check, we can't login either, strange error.

"Did you do anything special, [name of the bank's main sysadmin]?"

"Well, nothing special, I just cleaned up the disks as usual."

"How did you do it?"

"As usual: 'mc', sort by file size in the INTERFACE/ folder, marked the files and F8".

That's normal.

OK, since we had the same user account (I knoooow), launch 'mc'. Looks normal. Except... In the left panel the APP/DB directory is opened... Check... Appears normal... At first... But... WAIT. Where is the <BANKNAME>.DB1 file?

"<ADMIN>, how long time did it take?"

"Dunno, I went for my coffee, etc."

Apparently he deleted the production systems' main DB file. It's got resolved by restoring the backup from Saturday and every file and input transactions had to be re-inputed based on the printed receipts, the officer's stayed in late night, etc. He is still the head of IT at the same bank. (Yeah everyone makes mistakes, but it wasn't the only one of hims, but likely the biggest.)

Beloved by Toni Morisson. Such beautiful prose.

Except when you are selling a closed source binary which must be specified to the very small details (e.g. accounting systems from an external vendor, sometimes they are not buying the source code - and you don't want to sell it either, since they are going to replace you...).

(Disclaimer: I'm not UML/architect expert)

I get your opinion from a programmer point of view. However from the big picture point of view, either from the architect or from the client (if she (even partially) gets UML), it could be really useful.

E.g. let's consider working for a large financial institute, designing and/or implementing very difficult workflows / algorithms what would you use instead? In my experience most of the clients don't take the time to read half (if at all) of the agreed spec, not to mention understanding. In that case an activity/state diagram really helped a lot.

And on not versionable: you are right only to an extent (e.g. exported Visio diagrams to JPG...). However there are tools/methods, which can be versioned (e.g. generetaing UML via Graphviz/dot, and AFAIK Enterprise Architect supports versioning too).

> using awk for processing is not a typical pipeline

except it is. (g)awk is more often part of the pipe(d)line than other programming langueage(s) interpreter(s).

As far as I know, Windops Phone 8.1 can do it, and it can be turned off.

So what we mean by designer? 0h h1 is a rip off/redesign of some older game (as it is mentioned in the game's About section).

Which is based on apt-cyg AFAIK. And I missed the the ``apt-get upgrade`` functionality in both pact/apt-cyg.
