Does that surprise me? Not at all. “Agile” was never about making programming better. It was a management buzzword from the start.
We once had a manager who came to me with the serious idea “to make the development process agile”. He had heard of this in a discussion with managers from other companies. The problem? I’m the only person in this department. I program everything alone. How the F should I turn my processes “agile”?
I think he wanted it more like Product Owner, Scrum Master, Architect, Stakeholder, New product development, Tester, Integrator, Team member, Agile architect, Agile Coach, Developer, Team lead, Technical expert, Product Designer, Business Analyst, Programmer, and Specialist for at least eight hours a day in each role…
But my experience with P&R is that they are generally so far out of the city and the bus/tram/tube/whatever connection is a normal “outside the city” link which goes every 30-60 minutes if one is lucky (during the weekdayday, evenings and weekends are way worse), and then stops at every lantern on the way to the city center. And still costs a fortune.
Additionally, the tram stop at our next P&R is not exactly handicapped-friendly. So I have to get my wife somehow into the tram, which involves a number of high steps at the trams’ doors.
This can only provide a local solution. To make this work on a larger scale, you need the city to be built for this. So basically, this is a very long term thing.
IIRC, he was allowed to travel to Brussels and Strasbourg only before he was convicted in 2020. Right after he was convicted, his immunity as a delegate of the EU parliament had been lifted, he was extradicted to Greece, and he is now in prison. He still gets paid as a MEP, though. I hope nobody is stupid enough to vote for him again this Sunday.
Trump Demands Biden Remove Ad of Him Calling Dead Soldiers ‘Suckers’ and ‘Losers’ - The former president said only a “psycho” or a “very stupid person” would’ve made such statements.
Always keep in mind that Trump is a person with a very weak mind. It might actually be the case that he has forgotten about many of the misdeeds he has done, and considers himself an innocent and successful man just because he does not remember about reality.
Like the “Butter Chicken” sauce in a jar that I saw in the supermarket. Basically: “Fry chicken, pour contents of jar over it, cook ten minutes, ready!” like. With 7.5g of butter in total for four servings of butter chicken.
My Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani) uses 100g butter for the sauce, and some Ghee for frying purposes.
Although I have seen recipes on he net which are completely devoid of butter. Why do they still call this “Butter Chicken” then?

Die letzten, die den Faschismus selber miterlebt haben, sterben aus. Und die anderen kennen es nur aus Erzählungen und dem Geschichtsunterricht - wenn überhaupt. Ich habe das alles erst später wirklich gelernt, meine Geschichts-Lehrerin war eine Katastrophe.
Wie sollen normale Menschen solche Gefahren erkennen und einzuordnen lernen? Die sehen nur die vermeindlich einfachen “Lösungen”, die ihnen von rechts vorgelogen werden, und machen halt ihr Kreuz da, wo ein schnelles und schmerzfreies Ergebnis versprochen wird: “Ausländer raus, und alles wird gut!”
Dazu kommt, dass die Leute mittlerweile begreifen, dass sie von den Etablierten Parteien egal welcher Coleur jahrzehntelang beschissen wurden. Geld kennt hier nur einen Weg: Weg von denen, die arbeiten, hin zu denen, die eh schon zu viel haben.
Unterschätze nicht, wie vielen Leuten die mentale Schwungmasse fehlt, um den rechten Mob tatsächlich als Gefahr einzustufen. Das sieht man auch an der Auswertung der Wahllokal-Umfragen: Je weniger Bildung, desdo mehr AfD. Und wenn Du Dir dann vor Augen führst, dass die Hälfte aller Menschen um Dich herum in der Stadt oder im Bus einen IQ von unter 100 haben, dann wird da schnell ein Schuh draus.
Ich habe aber auch kein “Instant-Rezept”, dieses Problem zu lösen. Jahrzehntelange Fehler von vielen Seiten lassen sich eben nicht schnell beheben.
The new Eldorado Fortress is listed at €214.99. Is it just me, or is this set much to expensive for what it is? When I saw it, I thought “Maybe €150, €170 tops”, and was shocked when I heard the real price....
Sounds easy? Well, it should have been. I’m not talking about a “Hello, World!” (although it is more or less on the same level for me). The goal was to write a set of three MQTT clients that properly talk with each other and interact nicely....
