I thought the same thing. I can only imagine police departments are being sold an elaborate tall tale of how this will save money and the accuracy is unbelievably high.

Paragraph 3. They did, just not in the last 6 years.
Hi bilb, this is blab. I just wanted to say thank you for your approach. You run a wonderful server.
Hahaha. Yea. Been there too.
Totally agree.
I think we should all strive to do better. Unit tests, mock-ups, UX design, 2 week sprints with actual working deliverables, well documented use cases, every thing neatly stacked in Jira, dev,test,staging,prod environments, continuous integration and every thing else we are told to do.
Then reality sets in……
With all that said, 25 years as a dev, this utopian environment is almost impossible to find unless forced by regulatory compliance. Medical devices, life critical systems, etc. or if you have big piles of money.
Yep. I’ve been there.
This is very true.
Unfortunately most product managers SUCK at designing or making software.
Agile tries to fix this be supporting frequent iteration.
Unfortunately most programmers SUCK at writing good code.
TDD tries to fix this by forcing the consideration of end results (testing) at the beginning. It forces programmers and product teams to actually think and work. Make clear design decisions earlier on, but not to the point of waterfall.
It’s just a giant cesspool of failure due to human laziness that usually falls on the shoulders of QA.
Bottom line, making good software is hard. It takes time. But the market won’t support slow development. The business and sales teams remind me of Veruca Salt in Willy Wonka.
Ohhh. My day is done. GitHub’s list of Awesome. So much great stuff. Thanks for the topic and sharing.
I hear ya. Voting is supposed to help self moderate, but it is just abused.
And there needs to be a WFH policy that states reasonable responsiveness. If on a break, set you chat status as such.
Of course there are workarounds, like just carrying you phone with chat app.
Then it really does boil down to people management.
I think we need to get rid of the voting system altogether. There’s a much better system based on interactions and comment sentiment measurement that in trials on reddit provide better results of floating values posts to the top.
It’s a fire hose of free speech. Block and filter what you don’t want to see. For now.
Censorship is something you can control on a personal level. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean that the world should not be exposed to it.
I personally hide 99% of political stuff on Xtwitter. Makes for a cool open discussion on tech and my other hobbies.
Hahaha. Copper top.
I think that what AI may do, for a long time, is enhance our hobbies.
Those who can, do. Those who can’t, AI.
Just like early cryptocurrency, there will be value in work done. Seeing an artist create will be just as valuable as the resulting artwork.
Thanks for doing the work.
Consideration for readers. Remember not everyone lives where you do and has the same access and infrastructure that you do.
Some US states are pushing for EV but do not have the power production needed to support it at scale. Maybe another 10 or 20 years when everyone has a nuclear reactor in their backyard.
I’m all for EV for those that it makes sense. For many, especially the impoverished, it’s just another barrier to overcome.
Exactly.
Not everyone is on twitter for the political bullshit. Using banned words it’s easy to filter any political garbage. Twitter is quite useful. But I’m not there to convince or push my ideology on a bunch of polarized people. What a waste of energy.
God bless the hackers, crackers, reverse engineers, and disrupters. Pray they help keep you free of too much pain.
2e. We like the role playing more than rolling dice to simulate a pen and paper MMO.
The prices are going up for every provider. It’s across the board. Porkbun.com too.
