Agile peaked with Extreme Programming and paper story cards, since then all that seems to have happened is the adoption of more tools/process that missed the whole point of it. The most productive project I ever worked on followed that method - but it's very hard to scale up.

I worked somewhere where we dumped our (very complicated) 'agile' tracking tool and went back to cards, and productivity increased, people actually communicated. We did eventually add in JIRA, to support remote team members but banned 'customization', 'workflows' and all the things that actually get in the way of being an Agile team.


XP says that cards are tokens/mementos of conversations. That's the problem with Jira - the conversations didn't happen. All you have is electronic versions of the cards, but what made the cards useful is missing.


I'm also a fan of XP, but it really wants everyone to be in the same room.

JIRA escalates quickly. You're smart to put things in place to prevent that.


Trello is enough for remote notecards... IMO.


The most bizarre App Store rejection I’ve seen was for a TV app which was rejected by Play for ‘Policy Violation’ without much explanation… After several rounds of resubmissions and emails it turned out the problem was some channels on it were in 4:3 (not widescreen). Google required we add a ‘warning’ to the App Store description that it contains 4:3 content!


That's on you for adding NSFW* content to your app.

*Not Safe For Widescreen


Oh shit! Don’t download that app, son! It contains 4:3 content and I can’t be having any letter boxes on my phone. No sir-e Bob!


Try using Cloudflare R2 with zero egress and you'll rapidly discover there are lots of 'gotchas'... - Want to use a cloudflare managed domain - pay for egress if you have enterprise account - Want to use their 'dev' domain - rate limited

It's still a good service - but zero egress comes with conditions. The only exception I've found is Cloudflare pages which seems genuinely zero egress (as long as you don't proxy it through a managed domain).


I don’t need those things.

Sure it made me pay$5/month after some number of requests.

I don’t expect to pay nothing.

I just think 9 cents per GB for egress is robbery.


I am curious why proxying it through a managed domain incurs additional costs.


Because they can?

It may not be legal depending on how it’s done - this was Asus UK and the rules are on https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/online-reviews-an...

The UK Government are also in processing tightening this up…


I suspect the CSA’s new ‘rip-off tip-off’ campaign would be interested in this!

The question is how did you do training. If in the process you 'copied' the image (e.g. from network to memory) you did require copyright.

Reading with a human is not copying, but reading by machine is - there are several cases where that has been enforced. This is covered by reproduction rights.


It's been pretty clear from all the guidence (e.g https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protectio...) issued around GDPR 'forced consent' would not work - Facebook decided to try and push the limits and now have a massive fine.

What's slightly surprising is how long it's taken to get to the massive fines stage.


For the amount of profit Meta makes this isn't such a big fine.


The law has passed - but it also has exemptions for security.... So we can expect a lot of negotiating between the EU & Apple/Google on what they actually have to do.


If you want to keep the google accounts working for things that free (photos, YouTube etc) you can switch first to the business essentials plan and then to the cloud identity plan. Then you can move the email elsewhere but the google accounts still work.

This was essential for me as I used g suite for my family and some are using it for photos.


Yes, this is the way.

Info about Cloud Identity Free: https://support.google.com/cloudidentity/answer/7319251

Steps for adding Cloud Identity Free: https://support.google.com/cloudidentity/topic/7555155

You will only lose access to Gmail and Calendar, though make sure you migrate email and calendar before moving to Cloud Identity Free.

Disclaimer: i haven't followed the steps myself since i'm paying for a personal Workspace account since a few years ago.


So say your custom domain is example.com and you have a user who logs in with [email protected] that has data in Google Gmail, Drive, Photos and Calendar. What are the migration steps? I'm finding this really confusing.

Backup Gmail and Calendar, switch to business essentials plan, then cloud identity plan, set up email for [email protected] with some other provider and you can still use [email protected] to access your old Drive and Photos?


Yeah, those steps seems about right. But you'd probably want to set up the new provider as your first step and upgrade from the legacy free edition as your last step. I also like to point the MX records to the new provider before doing the backup so there will be no incoming messages while the backup is in progress.

Some people are being told "you'll keep photos", and others are being told "You'll lose everything".

There's only going to be one correct answer!


Thanks! I was wondering if there was a way to do this. I don't really need calendar on a personal account, and for email I was thinking about shuffling over to somewhere else anyway.


My favourite oracle issue was an older version would not install on Linux if you had number lock key on!
