One of the ways pair programming can be effective is one of the pair keeping more of the big picture in mind. Either thinking about alternative approaches or at least spotting the escalation of commitment to current approach and calling a pause to reflect.


This does a much better job than anything I've seen before. Nice work. It still doesn't generate routes I'd use as they're too circuitous due to the poor cycle infrastructure in the UK. However, it does a good job of highlighting good options and options I didn't even know about.


This is brilliant. I've wanted this so many times and had to awkwardly switch between window being shared instead.


I wouldn't mind switching between windows if I could use the GNOME Activities overview for that. But maybe that is not possible because there is no way to communicate the change in stream size if the windows have different sizes?


Which kernel version has the latest fixes?



The irony of setting up a '“Bureaucracy Mailbox” for any examples any of you see where we might have bureaucracy' while announcing an edict enforced by centralised control to replace autonomous decision making about where & how to work.


This is not the first "we're starting a committee to figure out what to do about there being too many committees" I've seen in my ~7 years here. Makes me laugh every time.


The best is when the top issues the committee finds outlast the committee.


this memo is one for the ages. filled with management speak.


Well the current CEO is an MBA. Post founder, MBA days morph into this


A long time ago I joined Deloitte to set up a local software dev. practice.

A few days in I was invited to join a "bureaucracy reduction taskforce". Someone handed me a literally 12 inch thick stack of paper I was meant to read up on before the first meeting. I gave my regrets and withdrew from the taskforce (there were no repercussions - apparently a few others had noped out as well).


I choose to believe that was a strategy. Invite everybody so they feel included, weed out almost everybody so it's a small group and can maybe get something done


Works fine on Linux if you set useragent to Chrome on Mac.


...which only underscores how pointless this is: if it works in Chrome on MacOS and Windows (https://support.apple.com/en-us/120585), it will also work on Linux, so why exclude Linux?!


I wonder if we'll ever get hdcp on nvidia. As much as I enjoy 480p video from streaming services.


Just download it to your pc. It is better user experience and costs less


Which service goes that low? The ones I know limit you from using 4k, but anything up to 1080p works fine.


Nonsense that a 1080p limit is acceptable for (and accepted by) paying customers.


Depends. I disagree with HDCP in theory on ideological grounds. In practice, my main movie device is below 720p (projector), so it will take another decade before it affects me in any way.
