I fucking HATE scrum.

Maybe more work for contractors who want to work every day of the week to make up for the shortfall?

Oops, 3-pane merge view.

The only feature I really miss after switching from intellij/webstorm to vscode is the 3-way merge view. Otherwise, for JS work, I don't see the point in going back to their ecosystem.

Indentured servitude?

Yeah I agree. The road to hell is paved with good intentions - that end up mostly benefiting cronies and demagogues. Spending a few billion here or there doesn't solve that problem.

Glad us Australians can set a bad example for the US for a change. Our NBN was a political clusterfuck that cost way too much and stifles competition thanks to the monopoly laws needed to help keep it funded. Total pork barrelling.

I really agree with Chris' attitude towards these groups (or so called businesses). Most of them are creating a "hodge podge" effort at combining a few packages with the gimp, sticking it on a CD and then calling it "their product" and selling it!

One of the things that really irks me is that when I compiled (I won't say ported because it didn't involve any coding) the gimp and uploaded it to GNU-Darwin, it was available for those people who had the right dependencies to download from the GNU-Darwin ftp (under a contrib folder). But MacGIMP.org came along and listed it on versiontracker.com. Now what a stupid thing to do, it was like they were trying to get people to download it and understand what was going on. Accordingly people wrote in the description how crap it was, because they either couldn't install it or it was "crap because it ran on xwindows".

Today I notice people uploading debian package files of MySQL and other such things to the same sites. I personally think a lot of it is trash, and out there to confuse people who *don't* know anything about unix rather than to help them understand and use these applications.

I don't know if Chris will get much support with his attitude towards Tenon though, but maybe he will. I don't exactly know what his issue with them are. Xtools has been around before xdarwin (xaqua), and did at one stage offer more features. It is a typical case of commercial software being beaten by free software, and I think we will begin to see a lot of this happening on OSX as many of the development tools on OSX are free.
