Storypoints do not mean "time". Time would be too concrete and measurable and would be bad for selling more agile coachings. Instead storypoints represent "effort". What does it mean and how can it be used to estimate a

ed2k, nice! That reminds me of this superb piece of software: MLDonkey ( https://github.com/ygrek/mldonkey ), written in OCaml.

For me the most clear example (in English and other languages that borrowed from Latin) is "to move" and "mobile".

You seem to be confusing the words "Schmerzmittel" (analgesic, pain killer) and "Betäubungsmittel" (narcotic). Those two classes of substances are not the same.

Do Nabaztags qualify to be added? There seems to be a workaround to make them work again.

Well, it's more difficult. The original Volkswagen was designed by Ferdinand Porsche.

Thanks for clarifying! I did some own research and apparaently in those oral hearings, objectors were often tricked into contradicting themselves with quite absurd scenarios.

I don't have intentions to justify an injustice. I'm saying why should we try to make it even harder for a disadvantaged group? It does not help a single German man if women also have to comply to this law. Fixing women's rig

Well, 2 wrongs make one right, don't they?! I wish we'd first fix women's rights and then extend their duties. What the OP does is just egoistically trying to make other groups also suffer.

What's a reason that is politically and not against one's conscience? I assumed that one's political beliefs would also manifest in conscience. The cold war has been over for a very long time. The whole process was reformed i

I'm not sure how credible it is, conscientious objection is literally in the German constitution: https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_gg/englisch_gg.h...

Why does Deutsche Bank pop up in every shady financial deal? Cum Ex, business with Russia, Epstein, some shady deals with his Wingman Trump, and many more. Billions paid in fines, penalties, and settlements. How rotten can an institution be

Is this based on your experience or is it just an assumption? I only have anecdotes, but it does not reflect your claims, rather the exact opposite. A lot of the boilerplate code doesn’t need to be type annotated, but annotating the main bu

But then Ruby only goes half way, not unlike the "watered-down form" in your term. Why is `#times` a method of Integer, but `#if` (or `#ifTrue`) not a method of booleans like in Smalltalk? Ruby does the same cherry picking from Sm
