I reported this to ZipRecruiter months ago. When you use Agile, off-shore and “priced right” labor, one cannot expect valid software or anything that was even partially tested. Agile is just hacking on the fly after all. To start with, C++ is one of the most popular embedded systems programming languages ever. It’s predecessor, C, is the “portable assembly language” used to write numerous operating systems, including Linux. Anyone who went to college for an … ZipRecruiter Duth SuckethRead more

FDA Must Ban Agile and Mandate Static Source Analysis
Yes, we have complete whack job in charge of HHS, and the FDA is lead by an anti-vax nutter, but, they could still do something that would greatly benefit mankind.

Your Jenkins automated testing doesn’t test squat. Here is the real … Linux Mint Grub Won’t UpdateRead more

Yet another hand polished turd pooped out the end of a sprint and was forced upon an unsuspecting public “to get user feedback.” If it didn’t completely trash your machine to the point of getting 0xc000021a on each and every boot attempt thereafter, consider yourself lucky. … Windows 10 KB5043064 Error 0x800f0922Read more

Flatpak Won’t Load URL
I see this mostly on Manjaro Cinnamon, but it’s rampant on other distros given the volume of complaints. It is yet another reason why Agile must be banned globally. Anything that can’t be tested automatically just isn’t tested in either the Microsoft or Linux worlds all because of Agile. The name of the file you need to create will change based on the desktop you are running. On Cinnamon it is this: Unless someone well … Flatpak Won’t Load URLRead more
