Used Trello a lot before it got sold to, and damaged by contact with, Atlassian. FogBugz looked cool…but I had to use an old version of Bugzilla.

I didn't know Glitch existed until this site had a notice that it Glitch would be shutting down. Surprised me FCS had anything to do with a game, and seems it wasn't a good fit. I like the style though, and downloaded some of the art and variations on the Groddle theme before it died.

Notably, longer tendons are counter-productive for energy return. The fastest runners tend to have increased tightness along the backs of their legs.

It's worth noting that the one-other-gripping pattern seems meant to convey two considerations and end with the strongest of three.

The English one-other pattern doesn't necessarily require the second consideration to dominate. They could be equal, or they might merely introduce concerns that haven't been evaluated to conclusion yet.

Alas, one-other-gripping doesn't seem to generalise to more than three concerns.

And a nice side-effect of that is that YouTube doesn't throw away the list of other videos on the page you came from!

At first I thought the complaint was that long threads can have numerous irrelevant fluff posts, outdated posts, and off-topic posts getting in the way of reading the useful bits. But treating a forum thread as a live conversation was somewhat surprising to me. And specifically excluding that a thread could be reference material perhaps reflects a difference between the sorts of places GP and I prefer to browse.

But about long threads: stepping through a 30-page or 300-page thread, where rarely is a post an update about the project, while the rest add nothing substantial, discourages looking through the whole the whole thread is not always practical. And search often doesn't return anything useful.

1. Ensure Droidify is not running. 2. Launch it. 3. Tell it to install or update to an app. 4. Receive an Android system prompt to approve the install/update. 5. Approve it. 6. Tell Droidify to install or update another app. 7. Reveive a system prompt to approve the action of step #3 again. 8. Approve it. 9. Receive system prompt to approve step #6. 10. Repeat #6 through #9 for more apps.

Workaround: Do steps #1 through #5.

Foxy Droid doesn't have this problem, but won't auto-download updates for you.

I'm assuming a trusted, competent direct report, and that the DR has chosen a timeframe that is reasonable give the situation.

For example:

Customer has a problem that will cause them to miss payroll on Friday. We've known about it since Tuesday morning. VP, DR & team spent Tuesday understanding the underlying problems.

VP has found one of the issues is in a third-party product, who are notably resistant to believing they have a bug, and are prone to not deploying a fix until either the next major update or three months after first report. VP is working on a software fix that makes use of another esoteric behaviour of the third-party product to potentially prevent the current problem from recurring, but now expects to not be done before Thursday.

DR & team spent Wednesday testing, and believe they can ensure payroll will be ontime by deploying a workaround Wednesday night, during the customer's existing maintenance window, where customer's I.T. group are known to be available for this issue. DP sends email to VP with intended course of action and known caveats.

VP knows he can keep working on the longterm fix without the customer's ability to make payroll hinging on it.

. o O ( The above actually happened, approximately thrice, due to different vendors committing shenanigans. It is abstracted from different customers. )

For reasons I don't fully understand, it makes me thing of repressive environs along the lines of "This is not for you. Serious business only.".

Although I do find some of the borders much too thick, it would be bit of relief from the modern trend of having enormous padding/margins everywhere.

On occasions where I told them it's really called a hamburger menu, they all either looked like they thought the idea was nonsesical, or said as much.

…Don't get me started on apps that have multiple air vent (or elipsis) menus visible simultaneously.

Or apps that abuse the symbol further by changing the meaning from "menu" to "toggle a sidebar that may or may not have portions that act like a menu."

The first century is years 1 through 100. Therefore, the second century is years 201 through 300.

The first millenium is years 1 through 1000. Therefore, the second millenium is years 2001 through 3000.

There is no year zero.
