Any diet that has you eating the same thing all the time is gonna have some inherent problems. Your body’s needs for various nutrients varies over time, and no “monodiet” will contain all the nutrients you need, in exactly the amounts you need them.
At least, having a varied diet increases your chances of getting everything you need, though that is more likely to see you eating more than you need. There is no perfect solution.
What’s funny to me is, the agile approach seems like it’s a much better fit for open-source, non-commercial software development.
The corporate world and is management practices based around quarters and deadlines can’t seem to see how anything could get done without deadlines, but that’s usually less of a factor with open-source. People laugh at “scrum masters” because in a corporate environment, all the scrum stuff tends to be mostly performative. But it seems to me that open-source projects with multiple contributors already kind of work in an agile manner.
Sometimes, the developers also being the users helps, as in your example. Sometimes, it’s a hindrance, where the developer will just create UI that makes sense to them, but not to others.
And there is no problem because either way the bird of prey goes, its victims die in battle, with honor.
In a recent by-election I voted in, the ballots were 2-3 feet long with 91 candidates on them. This was in Canada, where we only have paper ballots. The majority of the candidates only registered as part of a protest to get the govt. to reconsider other voting methods than FPTP.
OneDrive: the best idea since sliced bread.
This is even funnier when you know that Bob Ross was a drill sergeant before he did The Joy of Painting.
AP also showed some states red or blue with no vote tallies. Notably, at 11pm EST, California turned solid blue immediately on the AP map, surprising no one.
Why not President Red Forman? Dumbass!
Were they female? 'Cause you know, when you get in bed with four bitches…
Like radioactive rubber pants?
The fact that he finds this joke funny says a ton about him. I get the roast comedy angle people bring up here, but I just don’t see how anyone could find that line funny.
I mean, I’m a leftist, an anti-racist, and yet there are are some racist jokes I still find funny due to the way they’re crafted, even if I don’t tell them anymore because some people still take them on the first degree (both racists and non-racists.)
But I just don’t see the joke here.
Hey, no making fun of 256-man phalanges, those things can successfully defend against a tank.
It plays a sound that says, and displays a popup which reads: “Please do not press this button again. Thank you.”
Check out Gandahar. Anyone who thinks Star Trek has the most messed up time travel plotlines needs to watch this.
I love Bakshi’s LotR and Wizards but I think his best movie is American Pop. Not as WTF as Wizards, but it’s so epic!
Missed opportunity: the body in the picture should have been for an arch-top guitar.
I think we have something contemporary to compare this sci-fi scenario with: recorded vs. live music (especially now that we can keep making exact digital duplicates as nauseam.)
When you play a CD, it sounds the same each time (ignoring things like the equipment you’re playing through, the room, the ambient noise, etc.). Usually, the studio recording is the best, most pristine recording of a song you can get.
But when you see the original artist performing the song live, it’s different! A good performer will make you feel like you’re experiencing something special. And the little variations, and even, imperfections, make the song even more compelling!
It’s the CD recording of the song bad? No. It’s perfectly serviceable. It might even contain things that can’t be performed live. But it’s the same each time. And for some people, that makes it less desirable, and live performances, with all their deviations and mistakes become more desirable.
And going back to replicated food, apart from Eddington and grandpa Sisko, I don’t remember anyone else saying replicated food was bad. Just less desirable. And even Eddington grudgingly admitted that the TV dîner he was eating in the shuttle with Sisko wasn’t that bad.
The term you’re looking for is “uncanny valley”
Where do I put in my request for that bluesky money I’m owed, then?
