Also, new manager would be part owner in a UX design firm of “experts” that conveniently, via their expert advice, convince management that a major redesign is needed and their firm is the only one that can do it (since everyone knows you can’t get expert advice internally)
80% of the way through the project, the manager gets promoted and moves on, leaving a new manager with no vested interest in their predecessors project to try and clean up the steaming dumpster fire that is now 300x over budget
In a free market, aren’t you free to collude with your competitors in order to fix prices?
In NZ, churches don’t have to pay tax. This makes them extremely attractive to people with no skills who want to obtain wealth
Yeah, but, like, how many hours will it take for you to deliver 5 complexity points?
I hope this never happens to me but based on the Peter Principle I won’t know when it happens.
Oh shit maybe it’s already happened…
I was thinking about this the other day. Because Lemmy instances keep defederating from each other, I don’t really experience Lemmy. I experience a fragment of Lemmy as determined by the admins of the instance I’m connected to.
Even if I run my own instance, I guess there’s nothing stopping instances from defederating from me (or just refusing to federate to begin with because my instance is too small to bother with).
Is there even a way to experience all of Lemmy, including spam and things some people don’t agree with?
Purebred and inbred are synonyms
Why? All it’s going to do is output some words that have a statistical correlation to your input words
But it’s genuinely what we were all doing not so long ago
Jokes on you, my first job was editing files directly in production. It was for a webapp written in Classic ASP. To add a new feature, you made a copy of the current version of the page (eg index2_new.asp
became index2_new_v2.asp
) and developed your feature there by hitting the live page with your web browser.
When you were ready to deploy, you modified all the other pages to link to your new page
Good times!
The first thing I noticed. I was confused, thinking maybe they had an old XP machine lying around to plug in after the main one failed, but then I read further and it was just a stunt
Hybrids: the worst of both worlds.
If you want to keep relying on gasoline then just buy an ICE car
It’s like rebrands.
Most rebrands occur because the average marketing person is pretty average and “rebrand” looks good on your CV.
A couple of million later, half way through, customers hate the new brand and the marketing people who started it have already left for greener pastures
Redesigning a perfectly good design that everyone is used to allows you to put “designed Netflix user interface” on your CV, and since management has to spend a ton of money on it, suddenly your team is worth something
Is the joke that the main river in Paris is so polluted that swimmers would need to wear protection?
Never mind that the swimming events would be held in a pool instead
“Fuck off Jesus” memes (or equivalent) are the best
Is this a typo? I’m sure lemmy.nz has been around longer than yesterday
Thanks Dave, you’re doing an awesome job.
I feel like a traitor as a kiwi that joined lemmy.world instead of lemmy.nz (I was part of one of the early Reddit exodus’s and didn’t know any better) but thanks to federation I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything
Well, we have one group of people saying “the treaty means this”. And we have another group of people saying “no, the treaty means this”.
Which group is right? Currently it’s impossible to tell, because they’ve interpreted parts of the treaty in different ways. And there is some precedent in case law thanks to Waitangi tribunal rulings.
Clarifying the principles removes the ambiguity and makes it clear for everyone.
I understand the opposition though, Maori stand to lose a bunch of Maori-specific things they fought long and hard for if it’s decided that actually all citizens of New Zealand have the same rights and duties under NZ law
MSSQL in Microsoft* cases
FTFY although arguably Microsoft and Stupid and synonyms
The irony is, unlike the old days - actually AMD (ATI) is recommend for Linux now because the drivers are better.
This is in stark contrast to the fglrx days where that driver was an absolute abortion and NVIDIA was really the only usable one.
Not sure when you started your Linux journey but I avoided AMD for years based on that.
Now the tables have turned but I didn’t realize until after I purchased my NUC which has NVIDIA RTX graphics. So I guess I’m stuck on NVIDIA for the foreseeable future
