Thats two hundred years and would cover the end of Plantagenet reign and the Tudor era.

Henry VIII reign happened during that period, at the beginning of your time period everyone would be catholic and at the end Queen Mary of Scotts was executed because the idea of a Catholic on the throne was unthinkable.

The UK is littered with castles and estates, normally they focus on specific historic events which happened at that location.

This has to be THE dad joke meme format

This advice isn't grounded in reality.

Management normally defines ways to track and judge itself, these are typically called Key Performance Indicators.

KPI's are normally things like contract value growth, new contracts signed, profit margin, etc..

So if the project manager is meeting or exceeding their KPI's and you walk up to their boss telling them the PM is failing as basic job functions, the boss won't care.

This is because the boss might have set the KPI's or the boss might also be judged on them. In either situation its to the bosses advantage to ignore you.

The boss will only care if there is a KPI you can demonstrate the PM failing to meet.

Every person/group will have various incentives and motivations. To affect change you have to understand what they are.

If you read the reports...

Normally JPL outsource their Mars mission hardware to Lockheed Martin. For some reason they have decided to do Mars Sample Return in house. The reports argue JPL hasn't built the necessary in house experience and should have worked with LM.

Secondly JPL is suffering a staff shortage which is affecting other projects and the Mars Sample Return is making the problem worse.

Lastly if an organisation stops performing an action it "forgets" how to do it. You can rebuild the capability but it takes time.

A team arbitrary declaring they are experts and suddenly decideding they will do it is one that will have to relearn skills/knowledge on a big expensive high profile project. The project will either fail (and be declared a success) or masses of money will be spent to compensate for the teams learning.

Either situation is not ideal

Do not mix tabs and spaces.

Its impossible to automate checking that tabs were only used for indentation and spacing for precise alignment. So you then take on a burden of manually checking

You end up with the issue where someone didn't realise and space idented or anouther person used tabs for precise alignment and people forget to check the whitespace characters in review and it ends up going inconsistent and becoming a huge pile of technical debt to fix.

Use only one, you can automate enforcement and ensure the code renders consistency.

Mardown has several valid different ways to define itself, both ways listed are valid ways to indicate italics.

You would expect Lemmy and KBin to fix on one way but display both. That is a bug in the lemmy renderer.

For example asterisk Is a special character, when used in JSON you have to escape special characters with a backslash. A single backslash is also a special character. What your seeing is double escaping, (e.g. something is repeating it on code)

A quick look through the KBin code showed it using json_encode which is the JSON conversion library built into PHP. A quick google shows double calling the library on a string won't do that and I can't see KBin doing anything obviously wrong.

Lemmy has had some really weird bugs, an expectation that Lemmy hadn't escaped a block of code at a set point so they escape it and KBin is escaped would seem the most likely candidate.

The easiest test would be seeing how it renders on an alternate KBin instance, you would expect the extra characters to show up there, if they don't its probably Lemmy

It's explained in the article

They basically made it law so the only regulation was "informed consent", with informed consent you can launch private missions.

Government and private bodies were supposed to come together to come up with sensible rules. No one has done that.

So once the law passes nothing will really change, except government bodies will be required to figure out a framework to qualify private launches

When Oracle bought Sun Microsystems, it demonstrated it didn't know how to interact with open source communities. The Hudson -> Jenkins fork is probably the most famous where Oracle thought they could dictate where teams would collaborate. The bullying tone Oracle took made it clear they viewed the community as employees who should do as they are told.

To me this kind of fumble shows people in the Red Hat side are suffering the same issue, they don't understand they manage an ecosystem. Ironically if Oracle, Alma and Rocky work together they stand a good chance of owning that community.

It never quite finds its grove.

Season 1, 2 & 3 all had fantastic premises I would have loved 7 seasons of but were all unrelated and concluded within a season.

Season 4 actually demonstrates the missed opportunity, they deal with the fall out of season 3

For example if you think of the scene set in "A Vulkan Hello", you would have ended up with an Action focussed version of DS9.

You didn't need a spore drive, Jason Isaacs could have stayed the same and we could still have watched scientists struggle to become soliders with the war causing the type of fall out we see in Season 4.

For anyone too lazy to read the blog, there are 10 shortcuts on the sidebar of nautilus. The author can't remember the last time they used "Documents" and picture/music links are rarely used. In their experience they only need "Downloads". So they suggest its worth pruning the list.

Ahh Gnome dev's continuing trend of removing things they personally don't find useful.

I understand all of those words but not the sentence.

I know there are differences in sound replication quality, but the difference between high end and cheap kit has eroded over the last 10 years.

Its like comparing 720p to 1080p, sure there is a difference and 1080p is better, but not 10 times the cost improvement. 4k is having the same issues selling itself atm.

Most businesses IT departments I have worked for mandate a Linux distribution with a big support contract to deploy anything. The Windows System Admins think it will block adoption.

The businesses quickly realised that CentOS worked as a RHEL stand in and all developers can use that.

The logic of CentOS was it was identical to production and so minimised deployment issues but everything deploys in docker now.

As long as I have a Linux based docker host (cause the windows one has weirdness), I don't care what that host is, or how it is configured.

This now reflects in developer environment, I will write guides for Debian (because Snaps), devs can run whatever they want. I specify Ubuntu LTS for production since you can get a support contract for it.
