KDL supports multiline indents properly, unlike this one. No need for MAML, someone simply didnt do his research (outside of JSON).


Oh no, go read about AJAX. You may be too young, there's no revolution here. I celebrate your curiosity, it's still a wheel. Changing the name it's still reinventing it.


Some countries "destroyed" their own railways systems in favor of roads, buses and trucks. Progress they say. It's sad.


Electric rail is a relatively new invention. The infrastructure and conditions for traditional methods - steam - were serious trouble from an upkeep standard headed on my time working in rail. It wasn’t some halcyon method otherwise it would’ve easily been immune to “progress” as you put it because of financial and emotional investments. Clearly that didn’t happen.


The trolly lines removed were mostly electric. Steam trains did come first but everyone was into electric trains in the 1930s.

for freight there were different considerations and electric didn't have the needed power.


Ironic that the diesel that replaced steam and pure electric is actually diesel electric.


Not really. The problem with electric (in 1930) is the low voltage (relatively low - still 600-1000 volts!) couldn't handle the needed watts for diesel.

Steam was more fuel efficient than diesel when it was replaced. But a diesel engine could start in less than a few hours, and needed one less person on the crew so it was cheaper overall.


Of course, Agile manifesto is bad so I create a new one. Now let's see if we can start making conferences, writing books and release new versions every year.

Some teams don´t need Agile. In many products it doesn't make even sense to use it.

I think we like to gather and discuss how to fix the world, but we know shit. The people that want to get the things done just need the resources (time, tools, money, etc). Facilitators, that should be the role of PMs.


It doesn't mean your code is NOT being uploaded somewhere. They could add an easy switch to use the editor 'offline', not that they have to. I'll go back to Helix.


Yes, there are some things to fix and make it better, it is impossible? I don´t think so. I've found GNOME to be simple and cleaner than other DEs, yes, you can go full tiled or even no DE at all, its a personal decision and its great that you have the change to do it.

But hey, if you paid for that product and is not working, you should get your money back.

Maybe getting people to agree with you in a more constructive way can have a better response than ranting around (ranting is an old trend, we should stop doing it).
