I agree. the only thing which you can do is follow the instructions a little bit better than the idiots (i knew people who were not ablt to plug in the network cable at the end from where they pulled it from the router....), thus achieving the "go ahread messages" in theyr sheet a little faster.
Then try to extract information from them. For example i could verify during the fixing of the router if they really were doing something or just acting, since i asked very specifically about what has happened, and always looked if they included definitive information.
In that way you can make cure that they dont get stuck in some state (like waiting forever for a service of a subcontractor) and you can estimate the chances and the expected time of success...
No, i think it should have an interpreter translating the Systemd file formats to XML. The first thing started should be a Java web service which accepts these XML files, compiles them to JavaScript and send them to the build-in browser.....
Probably it should, and nevertheless both devices may be great at what they were supposed to be (lightweight PC and long-running media consumption device)

Old chemistry university textbooks (even for beginners) contain everything you need to know about how to make explosives.
It may be less condensed (you actually may have to read 100 pages), and it may not be in the form of "mix a and b and cook on the oven at 200 degree", but I would not follow some simple recipe withou understanding every step anyway (i actually dont play with explosive chemistry at all, too many stupic kids blew off their fingers).
Not sure if that should be +12V, +18V, or +48V, but it's time to have an integrate power management for all your home, avoiding power supplys on standby.
Linking High-level Brain functions to Quantum Computing is BS. Long before we reach the technology to build a QC big enough to compete here, we will have the technology to build a calssical computer simulating the brain. As a matter of fact, since the brain is mainly associative and works in by throwing away lots of infromation, which is something which is not good for QC.
Not sure what you mean, i mean there are *bad* java web apps, but if you choose well from the many design paradigms available in the different Java Frameworks/Libraries, then you can obtain pretty well defined web apps.
The occurence of in a project may not necessarily reflect the attitude of the project towards gender issues, but may be more reflecting the percentage of women in a team.
It is funny how somebody who acts as a CTO tries to convert a test which specifically examines the dialogs (which are untimatly a important part of a movie) to something where the statistics will skew results to meaningless garbage to derive from some weird side definition.
Maybe she was mistaken, function calls are not human interaction. More interesting would be an closer look at the process of the creation of the function (like "at least two roles in the project interacting directly must be filled by women") Still, there would be the statistics issue with this, but at least it could tell something about the human interaction.
Documenttion may be funny, but if the readme mainly consists of jokes i drop the attempt of using somethign without hesitation. I dont care if the jokes are good or bad (like here), but my experience is that people who do ot follow a naming scheme directly to whats going on usually produce worthless code anyway.
I use matlab. I like matlab. It's not the matter if its expensive (which it is) or not.
The point is: There have been applicaitions (more than one) in my past, where octave (a free matlab clone) served me much better, plainly for the reason that i could actually recompile it or adapt it in a way that it ran exactly like i wanted it to run. usually these "unusual" circumstance involved running it on limited HW, automatically, with limited memory, many instances, or independent of a nework connection to the license activation.
is the reason why you should not let constructive users interact with ignorant technical guys.
What is so hard about actually believing to a user that if he repots something, it may be important to him (in this case chromium/flash), for reasosn which you or he may or not like, but thich are probably there.
If you dont like something, act non-constructive and get ideological.
I agree; i am a quantum physicist. The paper goes seomwhere between effortless phenemenological observation, overgeneralizations and claims which are so remarkably undefined (like that biomolecules are neither insulator nor metals - thanks) hat it not clear which theoretical hypothesis they are going to make here.
The really impoertan question is: can i use their theoretical observation to predict parameters of molecules at some places? Can they actually reduce the number of variables needes to describe a problem? Is there any testable prediction or unexplained mechanism?
* Really: they had a "team happiness person"? * Featuritis: Why not start with a single sensor (if possible itegrated in the basic product), but try to develop everything once * Idiotic presumptions everywhere like asssuming that the non-availability of a specifi part for V1 is best cured by a completely revised V2.

Exactly what i wanted to say:
Boiled down PC beats oversized IPod touch.
Probably it should, and nevertheless both devices may be great at what they were supposed to be (lightweight PC and long-running media consumption device)
but i think it is far from worthless.
We can derive some facts from it:
a) the majority of access by the government and courts seems to take the legal route (which does not mean these accesses are completely ok with me)
b) a significant part is beyond control
c) I wont be affected; if the number of intransparent requests is less than 250, they are most likely not targeting me.

In my experience people who were too lazy to learn perl in the mid 90s and who are not experienced in Java.

And: i am not a woman.
And this is an excellent sample of how FOSS people alienate other people.
a) Person a says "i like commercial SW a"
b) Person a says "but i figured out that ultra-mature (>20y) FOSS b (which is nearly compatible to a) is even better for some things"
c) Person b says "use project c" (which is immature and incompatible)

a) Is Chromium also a non-free program?
b) The best way to make users stop using non-free programs is to be an asshole?

not another spinoff!
And this is why should focus on getting a simple product out first and not design 5 modules at once (like they did).
Java is nowadays a "classic" compiled OOP language.
