catch22@startrek.websiteto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Trump threatens to cut off aid to Ukraine 'prior to taking the White House as president-elect'151·11 months agoIt really should be easy enough to off this sack of shit. Actually it’d be hilarious if it was done in a real stupidly convoluted way to make it look as if it was some deep state type operation. Really rile up the cockroaches that support this pile of excrement so they can be stamped on.
catch22@startrek.websiteto World News@lemmy.world•UK ‘morally incoherent’ for sending arms to Israel and aid to Gaza, says Oxfam chiefEnglish5·11 months agoSpot on. The British are indeed masters of being two faced bastards.
How do you know what’s it supposed to do, if no one actually wrote that down, other than
As a person.
I would like it to work
So i can do the things.To be fair, at least that’s something…
Or maybe for testing the documentation is the code. The code does this, write a test that accepts it does this.
I like the concept of describing things in scenarios and having data objects embedded in the scenarios. I think gherkin if a bit too restrictive, the same way user stories are, but a more natural verbose scenario that was parameterised with variables tied to actual data makes it explicit what is supposed to happen and what data the system will consume, create or manipulate.
E: there is of course other types of documentation available

Apple greedy and bad right?
Yes.
catch22@startrek.websiteto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Water firms ask for bill rises of between 24% and 91%English11·1 year agoSo essentially, what happened is billions (probably 100’s at this point) of public money have been handed to private individuals and everyone is left in the shit, literally.
catch22@startrek.websiteto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Microsoft’s AI chatbot will ‘recall’ everything you do on its new PCs | The Guardian11·1 year agoNo, I’m a lazy shite, I just did an image search for clippy 1984. I feel bad now I didn’t make more of an effort 😕
catch22@startrek.websiteto Map Enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz•EU states signing declaration committing to legal equality, protection, national strategies and work for social acceptance of LGBTIQ people10·1 year agoBut clearly Russia would be the best for this if it was included. I have it on very strong authority from my hexbear friends.

catch22@startrek.websiteto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•England set to miss post-Brexit targets to clean up rivers by 2027English61·1 year agoThis is just project fear, why would the Tories want to asset strip and destroy the country they live in, just for temporary gain.
catch22@startrek.websiteto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Planet is headed for at least 2.5C of heating with disastrous results for humanity, poll of hundreds of scientists finds | Planet is headed for at least 2.5C of heating with disastrous results2·1 year agoReally depends how you measure the economy. Gross national happiness seems like better way to judge the health of an economy than GDP, which has little bearing on the state of most people’s lives.
Humans make all this shit up, line goes up is a completely valid retort to how the economy is being mismanaged, because it is what is seemingly most important regardless of the quality of people’s lives.
Saying if the line didn’t go up, people’s live would be worse is true, but only because of who we are letting rule the playground, i.e. if they don’t have all the toys then nobody is getting anything.

catch22@startrek.websiteto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•ONS staff refuse to work two days a week in officeEnglish4·1 year agoThe arbitrary n days a week requirement is just a simple lazy way of ensuring people visit the buildings consistently so there is a valid reason to keep them paid for. It will also continue to be n+1 until things return to as they were or peoples investments are no longer going to benefit with more forced return to office.
Face to face meetings can be organised anywhere. Its just inefficient to be using a building and requiring people to travel for what does mostly amount to sitting on your own on teams calls anyway. The requirement to have people sitting in places where you occasionally bump into them just smacks of bad management.
In person meetings can be useful for improving social relations. Mandating n days a week on the off chance you might have a useful meeting is asinine.

Do you mean they need to buy boots meal deals because that will help them open up excel?
