Talking about feelings is all good and healthy assuming the problem to solve is technical and due to a misunderstanding. But what if the root cause of the build up of resentment is when one of the couple is changing and his/her feeling about the relationship is changing. Someone like me with disorganized attachment style can sense subtle changes quickly and react to it


I don't really see why the two are different.

1. Technical / misunderstanding -> talk about how you feel

2. You or your partner or your relationship is changing (or you feel like it is) -> talk about how you feel


Agile was dead to me when I finished my PhD and joined a company that paid a Scrum consultant more than they paid me to help us move tickets without knowing what was the project about.


You'll probably find that the most highly paid people in most organisations only have a fairly abstract understanding of the work being done. This is nothing to do with agile.


I am perfectly fine with paying more for a technical project manager, or a team lead who can help us glue things together and see the big picture. But I am not fine with hiring a consultant who doesn't know anything about our product and thinks that Agile has some magic to deliver products.


Elon makes a good point that it is inevitable that Human should colonize another planet. I don't think Mars is the planet. We are solving a hard problem with the current technology, but we are missing the point that we may have a technology in the future that enables us to explore less hostile far planets that require one trip. Think about the first settlers who came to North America before the Europeans.


Let's reframe the problem for him. The main problem he is trying to solve is the risk of being tied to one planet. So he wants to buy insurance for humanity. How else can you solve this problem?


Wouldn't be better to host a web application and the database on the same server for better performance?


I'll answer my question. They tackle this problem by advertising as such: "Lives in DigitalOcean, near your app" So basically, for optimal performance, my app should be hosted on DigitalOcean.


I've started playing threes a week ago. Both threes and 2048 are fun to play. Except that I think in threes the challenge starts earlier in the game and every step counts and you can easily get into a deadlock. Can't wait to see the source code and analytics. Maybe you want to add on the page the highest score :)


I was also looking to host my own cloud service. I tried OwnCloud (2 weeks ago) and I was fascinated by it... Well until it failed me and lost my test data. There is a major bug in it (try renaming a directory by changing one letter from small to capital).

That being said, I started using BitTorrentSync which is a peer to peer sync and I am happy with it so far and I am still testing it.


How exactly does it (BitTorr..) sync data between my mobile & my laptop? If I have 100 Gigabytes of pics on my laptop. Will it attempt to copy it on my phone or does it cache a small portion? Does that need internet connection or will ad-hoc wifi work?


AFAIK, it'll try to copy it all. However, the practice is to separate content in a number of folders and sync only certain folders on certain devices. Slightly different approach than Dropbox, but works OK.


I've experienced the same bugs. Also using underscores, or asterisk breaks everything silently. No error or attempt to tell you not to do it.


That should give me more time to submit a conference paper on June 30.


:) I was more worried about my inability to fully understand this paper (which is worth re-reading many times), than complaining about it being embedded in an HTML frame.
