yeah it's always bad when vocal participants like the client(product owner whatever) wants to add complexity to actually make the product do what it is supposed to do..

and if you actually make an uml diagram that results in hundreds of thousands of lines of java code that does the same thing as 100 lines then you have fucked up quite badly in both making the uml diagram and writing the code.

I think the OP was asking for a solution to do just high level design anyhow, to slash up the work into smaller logical segments - so that they don't end up writing hundreds of thousands of lines of unnecessary code.

a whiteboard is useful that you can draw anything on it.
like drawing the flow of the program from ui side for example to communicate to the team what the end product needs to do so the team can figure out what the backend has to be capable of and so forth. if that part is skipped the server guys can for example write some shit that they claim fills the role of the server but is fucking horrible at doing what it needs to do and ends up needing a total rewrite before the product can ship.

they're living in poverty while working for foxconn too so whats the difference?

at least now they'll be hiring more decent engineers. the only reason they were using human labor in the first place in such amounts and in such boring easily automated tasks was that they lacked decent manufacturing engineers. in other words it was cheaper(or easier in their work culture) to hire 40 guys to put in screws instead of hiring 1 decent guy to first make a jig for the work and 1 guy pressing the button to do the work.

because on average it causes bigger areas to live for larger amounts of species - ice age doing the opposite.

besides than that.. the mass extinction events don't seem to have occurred on high temperature averages?

doom and gloom, doom and gloom. and not going to affect anything unless you can stop china from using coal as far as emissions go.

it's just a feelie piece of writing, indicated by the "two atomic bombs" shit line. exploding of bombs happend for a long time after that, even bombs far, far bigger than the initial few. joke continues by that there was a nuke explosion before those two he was referring to as well..

if you just ask the regional MS offices will give new companies bizspark etc access for free for few years with everything.

hell, with windows 8 launch they were practically giving phones and licenses in a bid to get devs on board. and money if you made your app exclusive(so they funded only bad exclusive apps, since apps with a real market had to go on ios and android too)

this is still better than BETA.

but somehow they managed to bork some css while doing the transition and somehow managed to not notice or mention it to anyone.

at least the classic reply on new page works this time around

the blurb says for 5 companies.
then it says it's drivers from 1 company.

if it becomes a problem, it's really because the the companies decided to outsource the service, to save up, possibly to avoid paying their negotiated employee benefits and such.

yeah by far the easiest is just take the harddisk and put it in a ide usb dongle(10$-30$ bucks).

second easiest is to get INTERNET on the machine. it's not that hard or impossible, then just ftp the files over. you need to find a isa network card though. ebay should have plenty of them. also this is the best way if you intend to play some old games or what have you with it.

third easiest, to get a null modem is also doable, the newer machine can use a usb serial dongle. if you don't find a null modem cable it's easy enough to make one from a serial cable. then use some program to transfer the files over that. it's just 20 megs so speed isn't a real problem.

then there's possibilities of using some crap like ooold zipdrives etc. possibly a cdr drive as well but eh good luck with burning on that machine..

well its obvious the tfa writer is working the job of an AI or the job of a robot.

the blurb was puzzling enough. like, what job is an AI? or robot? or they mean that robot builders now need to build robots to build robots or AI developers are being replaced by AI's? surely they're not.

well in 10 you can run modern apps in windows that you can move all over the desktop and the can overlap too!

so early '90s style fits just right. better than the early '80s style anyways.

they're CHEAP in many ways though.

in thailand it's not that uncommon that teacher drinks beer during schoolday - in class.

in semi-developed countries teachers are cheap but sometimes, if not often, not good at all. these are the same places where your grade depends on gifts.

a looong while ago.

what do you think the military used the computers first for? I thought that was the joke of the comment.

the thing is though giving it an arbitrary video game. making a robot to play just breakout is very easy, but that it plays breakout after it sees it is not that easy (though breakout is very easy on that scale, paddle follows ball and you get points, not much trial and error involved before you have winning combination(also wasn'tthat done a year or three ago already??)

but for the money of nucs, you can get something hat has the screen and keyboard included.

nearly all of them? not directly of course. and why do you think I gave the leeway of double expenses(6months).

what do you think subcontractors or rentals are getting.
they could make it into a jobs program as well, no biggie.

also, I could see the point of the drone program at 28k per arrest if it was effective at keeping the border shut. but it's not! it's ridiculous that it's not shut with all the resources put into it, it's like they don't even want it to be shut

well considering that minimum wage for yearly is something around $22,283 then yeah 28k is a bit expensive. let's say that the employer costs are double what the employee gets.

yes, you could hire guys with motorbikes and have them drive around 6 months to catch one guy per one hired guy EASY.

it's friggin expensive thats what it is. besides, borders aren't that hard to keep. for some reason russia-finnish border keeps people from getting over it illegally very, very tight - and it's wilderness for most part. though russians are very very keen to keep Russians from coming over..

basically, yeah.

changes nothing really, it's not like that material you didn't own copyright for was ok before.

so what's the change? ten cents?
