  • Moore's law predicts that compared to 1980, computers in 2040 would be a BILLION times faster.

    Also that compared to 1994 computers, the ones rolling out now are a MILLION times faster.

    A cheap Raspberry PI would easily be able to handle the computational workload of a room full of equipment in 1984.

    What would have taken a million years to calculate in 1984 would theoretically take 131 hours today and 29 seconds in 2044...

  • You know? I literally figured that out a minute before I saw your reply. And I rolled my eyes at myself.

    That makes sense. Silly me

  • Ideally your estimates would just be complexity points. And those estimates would go on on the stories in Jira/Azure Dev Ops / wherever

    And honestly the team should meet up and discuss the estimates

  • I don't understand your statement. The Mythical Man Month teaches exactly that lesson of more bodies != Faster in many cases.

    How long to build the site with 1 full stack dev? 1.5 years.

    How long with an existing high performance team of 5? 2 months.

    How long if you hire 4 plus the one original (all qualified)? 1 to 1.5 years.

    How long if we hire 30 full stack devs? Maybe never.

  • Good ones are pretty rare and good program managers are even rarer.

    What they should do, and what most actually do, are different things.

    Project managers must be great with humans and communication. If they are not, then they just can't be effective.

  • If the timing is critical then the only reasonable solution is to cut scope and features until it fits.

    The triangle isn't a rubbery floppy thing, it is iron!

  • Geez... Project managers are forbidden from making work estimates- they only get to collect them.

    They don't get to argue estimates either. They can ask questions to gain understanding but the estimates are the estimates.

    Wearing an architect or chief engineer hat is sometimes more fun because you get to call bullshit on dumb estimates like "4 to 5 weeks to model a table with 7 fields, with 2 of them being PK, FK" like GTFO we can model it in the next 5 minutes if I talk slowly.

  • If your dome light isn't an LED, then you should replace it with one. It won't completely fix your problem but it will give you 9 to 10 times longer to catch it.

    There's really no reason that every car doesn't have a voltage cut off to protect the battery such that it can still start. Additionally, if they just included a super capacitor then even with a heavily discharged battery, it could charge up the super capacitor to then start the car.

    But if we went around doing smart stuff like that then we could potentially wreck the entire lead acid battery industry and that would just be awful...

  • France’s appetite for frogs’ legs is endangering species in Asia, say campaigners

    Jump

  • Other French folks have suggested that this is a b******* article, so I believe them. But if in fact France needs more frogs, they can certainly have the invasive bullfrogs in the United States. They are invasive and wiping out other native species and they are big.

    I demand to see French frog trappers paddling canoes around the swamps and ponds gigging frogs.

    Looks like "Finding Out" to me.

    The gallows humor is real. Coping mechanisms for traumatic jobs is real. Ever hear civilian firefighters joke around? Same. Military firefighters and combat medics probably have the darkest humor. We've all collectively decided we want people to be really good at killing people and blowing shit up so other people don't kill out people and blow our shit up.
