Ehhhh…Kanban is much older than Agile even if they tried to subsume it and say it’s an agile technique, so that’s sort of right. But kanban vs “scrum” - which virtually everyone means when they say “agile” - is fair.
I’m just a guy, my dudes.

YAML might be more readable than JSON, but it’s absolutely not easier to work with, either to write from scratch or troubleshoot. And honestly, for my purposes that doesn’t even make it easier to read. It’s easier to read if I’m showing it to my wife because there are fewer semicolons. As soon as you want to do anything with the information you’ve read, it’s garbage. YAML sucks, and I’ll just link to a much better rant than I can ever come up with: https://ruudvanasseldonk.com/2023/01/11/the-yaml-document-from-hell
Second off, if you’d been using Zwave in Home Assistant for many years, you’d know they’ve changed their integration (no wait! It’s an add-on now! No wait, it’s also an integration still too!) multiple times, including breaking changes. That’s what I’m talking about. Of course I know Zwave is a protocol - it’s a protocol that Hubitat supports better. They also support Zigbee better (yes I use both). Admittedly part of that is built in hardware, but also it’s a better UI, a consistent UI, and not just… changing how things work so old hardware doesn’t work anymore.
I dunno man, we can disagree on HA’s choices but maybe make sure you even know what you’re talking about before being a dick for no reason. Then again, you opened with being a dick about me being the problem because I “can’t grasp YAML” when I said I don’t like it so I don’t even know why I’m engaging. Just piss off.
I’d argue it’s a bear and I still use it. YAML is just fucking awful and I’m glad they’ve been hiding it more and more over the years but it’s still there. Zwave is still wildly confusing compared to something like a Hubitat which is just plug and play (guess who has to just rebuild his Zwave stuff from scratch). It’s also insanely organized where add ons are different than integrations, and are hidden in different menus, as are system functions and just… It’s a mess from UX POV. It’s also a nightmare to try to interact with the codebase or documentation or even ask questions, much less make a suggestion. As an aside to address the point of the article, I have absolutely zero worry that they will ever forget about power users, because I, and many other power users who have interacted with Paulus on boards before agree he is kind of an asshole who absolutely does not understand why anyone would want to do anything different than how he imagines it - including documentation or UX or whatever. Home Assistant is totally safe for power users.
Now of course I’m not trying to say it’s bad, just that it is kind of a bear even for the tech savvy. You can’t beat HA for being able to interface with absolutely anything. There’s almost always already an integration written. It can do anything, and if you’re persistent enough you can kludge together a solution that works in exactly the way you need. You might even be able to hide all the kludge from your spouse. It’s also all free, because Paulus and a hundred other devs contribute their time for free and they’re amazing for it. Absolutely awesome for power users. But being simple or easy just isn’t one of its many, many pros.
Also, huge portions of first gen Latinos in America use Whatsapp too - because it’s what they’re used to, to talk to family back home, etc. I worked with a immigration org for a bit and everything was Signal or Whatsapp.
If you want to scratch that “players have their own genre” itch, you might look for asymmetric gameplay. There are a few video games, Death by Daylight being the most famous, but many in the “monster vs party genre”. There’s a shark one I can’t remember the name of, and a few eothers. There’s also Davigo, a VR game where the VR person plays a giant floating head that tries to smack a little person running around, played by your friend on a regular PC in FPS mode.
Sort of tangent to those game, of course there’s your hero shooters and MOBAs, which are much more aligned objective wise but with very different gameplay per hero. I’m a sucker for DOTA which has very different heroes, and then there’s your Team Fortress or Overwatch style FPSes too.
You’ve also got really expansive games where you have access to all the gameplay loops but people can pick what they want. Think like a multiplayer Stardew Valley. Elite Dangerous comes to mind as a game where you can go do space dogfighting, space trucking, exploration, or mining - and they all play pretty differently. You can even combo, like mine dangerous areas with a fighter escort to protect from pirates who want to fight.
Really outside video games, but closest to what you’re talking about you might like the board game Root. It is a board game (though there’s a PC version), but it plays VERY differently depending on which forest creature you are. Cats play a traditional conquer and control (think Risk), the Birds play an action chaining card game (think like a deck builder), the Racoon does his own like exploration game, etc. but they all interact in different ways when their goals come at odds with another. It’s an awesome, super creative game. Big fan.
I bought a pack of trader joes smoked salmon to take to a brunch last weekend but I couldn’t end up making it, and I ended up eating the whole thing myself over a few days.
It was a revelation.
DaE Le gUiLloTiNe? Eat the rich!! Everything is a conspiracy, nothing is a result of complicated systems and incentives!
Make sure to at least cross post it over at !makerstuff@lemmy.world. We haven’t had content in a while and your stuff would fit perfectly.
Salmon, pistachios, cashews, fresh berries. Still wild to me that I can afford them as an adult.
Atlassian is flashy?!? Jira is soooo bad.
How do I get to my messages? Who knows?! How do I see the people on the server that used to be an easy swipe away?
They changed functionality. I don’t mind a refresh, but they actually got rid of things and moved them around. It’s really annoying to use.
Yeah, coming in with no prior CAD experience I actually think freecad’s interface makes sense, especially since I’ve used it for both 3d printing (one workbench) and mocking up building plans (a different lumber one I was able to download as an add-on - very cool).
I did run into the topological naming problem once though, and I’m far from a power user, so I’ve been meaning to check out the real thunder fork.
Yeah, based on OP saying low WAF, I’m guessing maybe he didn’t set up the content server? Ours is great, and I can read on my phone or 2-in-1.
Also, my prediction is that big puts will be selling for way higher than their likelihood, because so many retail investors want to to fail. So even though the stock will go down, tons of people will lose money betting that.
I think the key is not good at shipping compared to themselves in the past. Same with Google.
They’re still better than the alternatives, but they’ve gotten much worse in quality all around, and they squeezed out competitors years ago so there’s no viable alternatives that aren’t WAY worse.
100%. I’m still going to TRY making homemade for a challenge eventually, but when Costco sells perfectly good ones… Why would I make them other than as a project?
Wide rice noodles. If you’ve ever tried to make pad kee mao (drunken noodle) with dried rice noodles you know it’s essentially not even worth it. The noodles are too important to the dish and the dried ones curl up and are just awful. My wife and I eventually figured out how to make fresh wide rice noodles and while it’s very simple to do so (rice flour slurry into a cake pan, steam it) it’s very laborious and time intensive. I’ll do some laborious stuff (bake my own bread, homemade yogurt and soft cheese, pasta and red sauce etc) but damn if one of my favorite foods isn’t too much work for all but special occasions.
Thank god we found a place a mile away that sells fresh noodles. Now we can have it whenever we want.
Yeah I’ll probably never buy ricotta again after making homemade, unless I was really in a pinch for time I guess. You save a decent chunk of change on home made too. Mozzarella I’d go either way on.
This is wild. I even thought lasagna was worth the minimal effort before, but I just got KitchenAid attachments for Christmas and it’s insanely easy. You mix the dough in the bowl, and then flatten a couple times, run through the slicer, put in the water and it boils way faster than dried. It’s also so so much better than dried.
I’m with you on like, ravioli though. Also we occasionally made wide rice noodles from scratch for Thai cooking and while they’re not technically hard, they’re very labor intensive and time consuming. The problem is the difference between them and dried is night and say - dried wide rice noodles arent even really worth eating. Finally found a shop that sells them fresh though so we are golden.
An even better title would be “‘Study’ by firm pushing new technique finds old technique is bad.”
