What I don't understand is why there is such a huge overlap between climate change deniers and supporters of the extreme right. Shouldn't those people be concerned about the refugee crisis that climate change will cause in the coming decades?
Warning - very very vague question

Would someone kindly differentiate between the ERP vs ITSM (IT Service Management) industry in perspective for me? I would in ITSM and often wonder if I would had been better off staying in ERP like SAP?

Secondly, how does ERP fare in terms of complexity between game development vs ERP Software development? I understand the target base is totally different (Gamers vs Enterprise clients)

Let me know if I am too vague

One factor here worth keeping in mind: In 1991, they bought NCR, so they were trying to expand into the tech market beyond their traditional telecom base. (Bell Labs was also owned by AT&T during the period.) They were still very cash-rich in the ’90s and trying to use that leverage in other parts of telecom, even if the Baby Bells owned local telephone service.
Initially I thought that bash supports reflection and is able to get the function contents, including comments. But this function scans its own script file ($1), looking for the comments starting with #HELP and formatting them. This way the usage info can live near the functions implementing sub-commands.
Yep, the constraint here is not to wipe out ourself in the meantime!
I used to work for EA (five years at Ghost, specifically) and my experience there mirrors what you described. Often there was a crunch towards the end, but the last game I worked on had none. I'm currently working for Zoink and it's similar, though with a stronger stance against overtime.
Given the multiple choice answers provided, I think my experience with remote work is fairly different to that motivating your understanding of the problem.

The tool support for productive remote teamwork is pretty bad. The fact that Slack is so popular merely illustrates how low the bar is.

The hardest part of being in a remote team is maintaining focus and urgency, with none of the "vibe" of being co-located.

Given the inherent costs of being isolated, it doesn't take much friction from poor tools to impact productivity.

That’s the problem with software. There are two categories of software: software that their developers use themselves, and software made for other people. Visual Studio is the prime example of a software made by people who use it, it continuously improves (minus a few hiccups), it is made for the most used functionalities to be at your fingertips, it doesn’t hide stuff in layers of submenus, etc. The list is long of software made for others, and the general rule is “fuck it, good enough”.

This is also why I believe the Windows 8/10 developers must be working on macs.

One of things that's obvious about the modern social network is that Whatsapp is the model more than facebook . I would even argue with you more so than even Instagram. Whatsapp is the myspace of those tools and Signal and Telegram seem to have different goals. Social networks are going to be smaller and more tightly connected. So I'm completely convinced of that direction. I'm just unsure why if I'm someone with a mailing list 400k people why I'm talking to them and not Patreon? Why am I giving you 40% of my revenue? If I was working a Patreon or Twitter in product I would be really interested because (semi-)federated micro networks with interesting content are their business.

No one's claiming that it's malicious or illegal. It's just that a recommendation engine that recommends an old, unmaintained, copy-cat extension which wasn't exactly great back when it was new and maintained is not very trustworthy -- it's either very bad, or vulnerable to rigging.

It's like a movie recommendation engine that preeminently features Howard the Duck or something. It's not malicious or illegal but its recommendations are probably useless.

Not really. GPGPU is not an existential threat to Intel, even now neither Nvidia or AMD are hurting Intel much. But TSMC is an existential threat, even with the recent rumours of splitting up Intel Fabs, it is all too late.

It wouldn't be a stretch to see them disallow modifying a website's contents.
I don't know if I'd say yes or no. But if I said yes, I'd know the whole thing was BS (just like he did) and go knowing that. Unlike him, I wouldn't interrogate any old men until they cried (especially if I could avoid doing so by just not bribing people!?). And I would not come back and decades later, long after anyone stopped giving a shit, write a long article where I pretended going made me the good guy and I was duped. I'd slink off and be ashamed while I bought my new jetski or whatever.
Most option traders are hedging/arbing with other instruments. It's very possible (and more likely) the other side of the trade made money too.
SAP has enabled/mandated an army of people at my company who manage it and ruthlessly control even read access to it. The software is user-hostile, intentionally obscure, and all requests for slightly customized reports have to go through a multilayered approval process - often up to corporate - where it competes for funding against other survivors. Needing something custom invites constant questions of why the standard process is not enough.

It was sprung essentially overnight with no training and expectations to show immediate positive results with no criticism tolerated. The rollout was preceded by a couple of years of secretive process reworking where the business was modified to the way SAP said it ought to be done. We expand it to "Stop All Progress" because it marked the formal transition from a technology influenced company to an integrator focusing on acquiring tech from others.
EA, or at least Dice, have done a lot to move away from crunch as much as possible. It's been a slow process, but I definitely saw improvements during my time at Ghost. The last game I worked on didn't really have much of a crunch at all. I think I might have done some overtime, but almost every week was 40 hours and no drama.
Thanks. Just learned that object/tuple deconstruction works with is keyword as well (I mean makes sense). That makes argument checking so much less burden.

That also explains the switch in parameter checking from == null to is null for the default code analyzers/refactors/code hints.
ERP software is a monster.

There have been several high-profile cases of German companies migrating to SAP (from their home-grown zoo of different software for different purposes) that have gone spectacularly wrong. They are way over budget, way over time, and sometimes abandoned completely, like with Lidl: https://www.consultancy.uk/news/18243/lidl-cancels-sap-intro...

I have heard (anecdotally, and third-hand) that the only way to successfully introduce SAP (or Oracle, for that matter) is to completely succumb to it and restructure your business along the lines that SAP assumes as default.

You try to keep your little company-specific process for buying christmas gifts to employees? Fine, but it'll cost you several hours with an SAP consultant. You try to keep your non-standard terms with one supplier? Fine, another bag of money.

You do that more than just a very few times? Your migration has failed.

What I mean is that offline businesses have been running experiments to see what works forever. They run a billboard campaign in city X and run a slightly different one in city T to compare the results. They count customers as they come through the door. They issue loyalty cards that people sign up for in their millions, making a special effort to share data with giant supermarkets because they're (effectively) given a share of the resulting revenue increase.

Nobody cares or talks about any of these things. But when Google does the online equivalents, it's suddenly the next coming of Hitler (literally, look at the comment I replied to above!).

This isn't really proportionate, it doesn't make sense, and it's quite offensive to people who work or used to work at these firms.
It's pretty amazing that modern browsers don't flag .com. as a scam.

Is there any legitimate use for addresses like this?

It's also amazing that email software doesn't highlight fake link texts. There should be a rule that if the text looks like a URL then the actual URL has to match it exactly.
I think a perl expert can write it even shorter.
This is ridiculous. Paper. Use a Paper as the true vote. Cross check after that.
I have read so many comments on here up-selling the ability of technology but no one in this thread has the answer. It's apparent.

Do the paper vote - as it was always done. Let our technology analyze it afterwords. Why are we all trying to put our technology in front of this simple device. of paper.

You all know this rule = "make a single application do one thing well."

Again, this is ridiculous from a Credibility sense. Paper + networks, Paper + mobile, forget the paper, Mobile only, Mobile + scale. Where are we at? No where and much less. Just take a paper vote and tally it. Is that so hard?
I'll be in touch! Thanks!
Write down what you do. Regularly talk to a colleague about your thoughts, it helps to get them clearer.

And some things just need weeks of reflection, research, trying things out. Rome wasn't built in a day. When you'll get there you'll have produced something of actual value.

Everyone seems to think that, and then they produce software that looks beautiful and is horrible to use.

Gray buttons and scrollbars at least make it obvious which part of the UI you can click!
A bit unfair. In fact most of the SAP books unfortunately are a waste of money because 99% of the content just repeats the help on their webpage.

If there is something I would complain about, it is that their help pages are a convoluted mess of years of content with broken links galore, lots of duplicated content between help pages between different versions and an on site search which is just not very good.

So basically you have to Google stuff, then unfortunately come out on the help pages for an edition you do not actually have and then will have trouble finding the corresponding help page for the thing you actually run.
I once asked myself the same question, but I think I understand it now. The core difference between left and right in the US is the status of The Individuum & Family vs The State.
Right wings means individual liberty, small government, self-reliance, the right to bear arms in case the gov starts acting up.
Left wing means large government, extended in-group, socialised benefits, equality, gun control because only the state has the monopoly on violence.

It therefore follows that right-wingers don't like to be told what to do, especially by the government. You could see the laws resulting from climate change as a special case of regulation.

The mistake is to think that the issue is about whether or not climate change is real. Its not! Right wingers just reject it instinctively because Big Gov wants to take away some freedoms / levy taxes to prevent CO2 emissions.

In a healthy system, both forces are needed and valuable to control excess drift in either direction. We're currently in a uniquely polarised environment though.
Well, not really iGPU, those low res benchmarks relies more on CPU, and Icelake is quite far ahead of 1st Gen Zen. Not to mention it is an 14nm product and not even priced at the same segment.

The coming Ryzen Mobile with Zen 2 and Power Optimised Vega will do far better.
The desktop version being awful (as is just a lot of stuff MS makes) is no excuse here tho. It can be done better and there's no inherent thing to either implementation that prevents it.

Urban Micrometeorites – A Myth? (2017)
> “just because it resembles 90’s UI?”

I wasn’t talking about mere resemblance. I’m talking about functionality, density of information, layout, hierarchy of importance exemplified by various aspects of the UI, clarity and intent, feedback and signaling, on and on. The whole thing. The only thing that bothered me about SAP was how clunky it felt, simply because it was slow.

I’ll quote myself: “It is dense, extremely clear and consice.”, yep it’s great to use. I also love JMP statistical software UI and Cinema4D UI. They’re a pleasure to use.
Korean startup Lartbio plans a unique Amazon-style ‘Platform Cattle’ model
The best advice about SAP I've had is that when a company is starting to use SAP, the company must adjust its processes to match the SAP model - not the other way around.

If you do it the other way, you'll first spend millions and millions customising SAP and then your project will fail at some point. It will also make all SAP upgrades completely impossible and they will cost millions and millions.

All of the successful SAP stories have been about companies who either match the SAP model already or reconfigure themselves to match it.

All failures are the opposite.
> The software is user-hostile, intentionally obscure

This a million times. I don't know if good interfaces can not be built in SAP, or if it's very difficult to do, or if the developers of apps on SAP platform just don't care.

It's a real headache to use and completely confusing.

It's 2020 and one would hope software companies realize the value of a good, clear, effective user interface.

Docker also depends on hundreds of thousands on lines as well. In fact, to run it on Windows, it requires both Windows and Linux as dependencies /s

More seriously - it’s not a complete docket of course, but lines of code in a project are a liability, not an asset. If you can reduce your project size with reasonable dependencies, you should.
Yeah, I need to add throttling. That being said server didn't crash, handling it quite well.
Years ago I was involved in a project to scrape certain info out of a SAP system with a web interface. It would have been easier to do it with a API but my conversations with the SAP people at work were going nowhere (is it me or do SAP IT people have no concept of how things are done outside the world of SAP ?).

Anyway I started looking through the Javascript the browser automatically downloads and found there was 10s of MBs of un optimised code only a tiny percentage of which was being used. It was horrific and it was easy to understand why the system was so mind blowingly slow.

This is a pretty common confusion. Economic growth is a growth in what economists call "wealth" (the goods and services around us that add up to our modern lifestyle). The closest approximate metric for this is real-terms GDP, i.e. the value of all goods and services sold added up and then adjusted for inflation. It's not about raw prices, which are distorted by government money creation (these days normally called quantitative easing but it goes via many names).

Progress and wealth creation actually occur when prices fall, not when they rise, even though it may not feel like it if you happen to be the owner of a fixed asset whose price is falling i.e. a house. In a static system if money is printed via the issuance of loans, and that causes house prices to rise whilst the prices of everything else remain stable, then all that's doing is reallocating wealth from non-home owners to homeowners and banks. But it's not actually increasing wealth.

For wealth to increase everyone would need to find it easier to buy things, and the only way to do that is for things to become cheaper in real terms. For instance the smartphone industry has created enormous wealth in the past 20 years. Smartphones got massively cheaper so everyone can have one, and they got massively better. This is what economists mean by wealth creation.

A try: the set of circumstances that cause your current employees to be motivated and productive.

If you currently have employees that have a lot of freedom, responsibility and little oversight and who thrive on that, then introducing more formal metrics can make them feel their work is becoming less fun and they become less motivated. But other employees like clear structure and formal methods and they'd welcome such things.

Usually the company has one style of management from the start, and people who like working under that style self-selected over time. That gives you your "culture", and changing it means you may make your company's management style less of a good fit for its employees.
Well C# 7.2 and 7.3 was moving it more to Rust. So that F# statement is a bit limited. They steal best ideas from everywhere and integrate it into the multi-paradigm language C# actually is.

Here are my experiences so far:

1. When I was working full time as a developer:

Weekly:

- Daily meetings every day for 15 minutes

- Sprint Planning for 2-4 hours

- Sprint Retro for 1-2 hours

- Sprint Review for 2-3 hours

- from 1 to 3 meetings with PO or PM - some grooming some about other stuff - in total 1-2 hours

- 1-on-1 for about 15 to 30 minutes

Other intervals:

- Once per month a Heart-beat with other teams

- Once per two months (maybe three) a company wide meeting of 1 hour (which usually took about 3 hours including going to the big hall and discussions afterwards)

2. When I was working as Product Manager or Product Owner I could say that most of my time was spent in meetings.

- meetings with other Product Mangers or Domain Managers

- meetings with customers

- meetings with the team (Planning, Review) or on-demand

- meetings with top management about different strategic initiatives

- 1-on-1 with my manager
SAP has a separate product for ITSM: Solution Manager. Everything else is beyond that scope.

What is important to understand is that SAP is standardized way to do business for ALL departments in big corporation. You probably can't be "expert is SAP". You can be expert in SAP treasury system, SAP data warehouse, SAP ITSM, SAP data analysis, SAP call center etc.

I heard that SAP consultants are paid very well and I think it will stay that way. But I guess this thread sums it up perfectly: it is due to the complexity that these implementations bring to organisation and lack of elegant solutions from modern software development world. So in terms of money it is good, but the trade offs are quite big.
