  1. Same Old Thing on Could AI Transform Continuous Delivery Development? (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Holy Fuck.

    Continuous integration
    Prototyping
    Incremental development
    Rapid application development
    Agile development
    Waterfall development
    Spiral development

    Now, introducing, "Continuous Delivery"...or something.

    Here is the actual model, a model that will exist for the next 1,000 years.

    1. Someone (or something) gathers requirement.
    2. They get it wrong.
    3. They develop the wrong thing that doesn't even work they way they thought it should
    4. The project leader is canned
    5. The software is implemented by an outside vendor, with all the flaws.
    6. The software operates finally after 5 years of modifications to both the software and the workflows (to match the flaws in the software).
    7. As soon as it's all running properly and everyone is trained, a new project is launched to redo it, "the right way".
    8. Goto 1

    The irony is I've never seen ads for a spell checker. :-)

  4. So I need some brickwork done...about 1,000 bricks.

    Now, I hire one guy to spend a day laying those bricks. he gets paid a day's wages. (Ok, he's probably an illegal but work with me here)

    With the brick laying robot, they spend an hour laying those 1,000 bricks, presumably charge me for one hour's labor (materials separate) with maybe some robot fee or tax included, then the go on and do another 4-5 jobs that day.

    Automation usually lowers cost. Lower costs means more people can afford it, which means there will be more demand.

  5. Re:IDTS on People Are Using Recycled Laptop Batteries To Power Their Homes (vice.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I have had more than double the number of batteries for my laptops than I have had laptops.

    Battery lifetimes seem to be about a third of the computer.

    Where are they getting perfectly good batteries that are "recycled"?

  6. Hydraulics.

    You can't fly an aircraft pulling 6 gs or flying supersonic with a fucking steel cable

  7. Do they still have their Trademark?

    Because that's pretty much synonymous with every snotrag now.

    So far the Left has murdered 10 cops in cold blood and shot up a bunch of politicians.

    Your "Nazi" boogeymen haven't even showed up at their protests. Now we have one dead courtesy of the Nazis and you are getting your panties in a twist? I'd think someone who supports a group that has been so efficient at killing an injuring people over the last year would have a bit more fortitude.

    Jet Airliners and Jet Fighters have someone in a cockpit. They have yokes and Sticks and can take control of the aircraft at anytime.

    What if you argued for years that they are exactly the same thing. No difference.

    Then, when became advantageous to argue that they WERE different, you changed you mind, or just ignored the contradiction and argued for both sides?

  15. Brains Different, or Not? on Ask Slashdot: Female Engineers, Could You Please Share Your Thoughts On the Google Memo · · Score: -1, Troll

    There has been tons of opinions asserting that the brains of females and males are not different in any respect and that there is no reason a female can't be a brilliant scientist or engineer.

    There has been tons of opinions asserting that the brains of females and males are different, which is the reason a person can feel as if they are a female trapped in a male body, or visa versa.

    Seems to me that one argument obliterates the other, one way or another.

    That will show everyone what morons they are.

    They come into town, wave their flags, give their speeches, and then leave town. Then everyone thinks, WTF? and forgets about them.

    You have never heard that saying about Sunshine being the best antiseptic? When people hear what they actually have to say, they will dismiss them is nut and cranks.

    If Antifa and BLM had just stayed home and not gone to Charlotte, then KKK and Nazis would have had their rally, looked like fools, and then gone home.

    Everyone would see what fools they are. The press would make a single mention o the rally and that would be it. No one would care what they said or think.

    But nooo. They had to go in and start some shit. Now, they are the opposite side of the coin. Anyone who wanted to justify the KKK and Nazis just had to point to Antifa and BLM.

    Good job guys.
