California has started removing tents, so technically?

Some forms of social interaction are fun for me, others aren’t. I usually do better in smaller groups.

Don’t. Take a break. Touch grass.

Don’t worry, now people’s 401(k)'s can invest in private equity!

What’s the check other than presenting symptoms?

France is the only country I’ve been to in Europe that does a good job providing water.

It depends on the tourist place. Europe is very stingy with water, but other tourist parts of the world aren’t.

Is it correlation or causation? I ask because I’ve seen other evidence which seems to indicate that depression is an early indicator or mental deterioration.

Yeah, those kinds of people are horrible to work with. I know you figured out how to make this work thirty years ago, but they built it into the program twenty years ago.

he had the guts to tell me I have to talk to him

I’ve worked with people who say they are all work and no talk. Their work was generally worse than others because they wouldn’t stop to coordinate with others while they worked and they should have. There were plenty of times they would make decisions when they should have talked to others, then those decisions needed to be backtracked because those decisions were wrong on the context of the project, costing time and money. They also end up being hard to work with because they devolve into screaming matches with other staff whenever there needed to be a discussion on his to proceed.

It ended up being a problem for their advancement because I couldn’t trust them in a leadership position they asked for when they wouldn’t show any leadership equivalent to their job’s roles and responsibilities.

Whenever I’ve given the direction “you need to talk to others”, it isn’t about talking to others about their day, but to talk to them about their work because their work is uncoordinated.

It isn’t meant to be consistent; it is meant to enforce the views of the church.

I mentioned Linux.

Exactly. There is a community set up, but posts are daily at best with only a few comments.

Outside of Communism, Linux, and Star Trek, there isn’t that much.

Most people aren’t here because of what this place is, but what other places aren’t.

I feel like that’s because the concept of software architecture isn’t really taught and understood industry wide; it is like getting a journeyman carpenter to design an addition to a building but they don’t understand how the original structure was built so they recommend to tear the original building down and start from scratch.

It is made worse as programmers have a vested interest in maintaining a construction once maintenance mindset since construction requires more labor then maintenance.

Brotato?

I loved the season opener. It was hilarious having actual lawyers judge how bad it was and Mommy Standards and Practices was well done.

The problem is that there isn’t a Dropout community and the equivalent Nebula community is rather dead.

Starbound was an example for how to not develop a video game. I feel like the have could have done a lot better if they spent more time trying to refine small parts of the game before building it out.

They wasted so much time redoing work because they developed on poor assumptions and then had to go rip out back out when it failed.

Your should try it again. I heard they added a couple of things.
