What Jon Richards said. Also see https://github.com/collectiveidea/delayed_job which is a popular DB-based scheduling library for Ruby.

There is less risk without protected branches than you think, especially if you catch and contain the problem early.

GitHub allows you to restore branches and commits are restorable from the ref log.

I wish all comment threads started with a summary. Thanks!

If you're doing kanban and work in an environment where product direction changes quickly, then definitely this.

If your standup can be replaced with everyone posting on a slack channel, then it's just a status update as there's no discussion and alignment happening, which are the valuable parts.

Most teams should experiment with their process more.

The standup should be with the people on the current sprint. Alignment should have happened in earlier planning stages. "Discussion" is (should be) highly structured in a daily standup and any discussion that is like a dialog should be placed in the parking lot until the meeting ends, when only those interested in that discussion need to attend.

I wonder if they also plan on collecting urine to use as fertilizer for farming.

Definitely worth pointing out, but I don't take issue with their wording. KPMG has a worldwide presence and is an incredibly popular auditing firm. It's certainly possible for KPMG to be a "well-respected auditing firm" in the public's perception and for them to fail to detect all unethical practices during an audit.

While hiring them doesn't prove that Cloudflare's code and practices are sound, it does reduce the risk that they aren't.

An item on my todo list for years has been to create a project that wipes your history on various social media services.

I haven't used TweetDelete yet, but a quick search shows there's many paid, free, and open source options available. This one stands out as being better since you can inspect the code and it also deletes favourites and direct messages: http://martani.github.io/Twitter-Archive-Eraser/

And close to deleting 3 billion tweets so far.

Don't forget condoms!

Sounds like an office design problem if people are using the toilets as their private space. Maybe there was no other existing space for the same purpose, that is, a space where you are alone and have complete privacy.

You don't need a private space to waste time on your phone.

Many casinos have two-way mirrored ceilings for observation. Hopefully it's a normal mirror in the restroom ceilings, otherwise I'm not sure how legal it would be.
