You can move the moon by essentially converting it into a rocket (xkcd tip: what-if.xkcd.com/13 and I hope you're not too concerned with Earth). Also, there's a Justice League cartoon episode where some bad guys cloak a planet in order to convince some judges that a main character had destroyed the planet and all living things on it. So, just cloaking it somehow would be pretty useful... and that technology is slowly becoming more and more feasible every year (although not to a planetary scale).

This is also true if you have to make changes to existing code. Since modifying existing code can be more difficult, starting to dip into it and structuring what sort of changes you want to make can be helpful. And if you realize you'll have some tricky decisions to make, then great! You'll iterate over that in your mind off-and-on that evening and the next morning and hopefully come to some great conclusions you might not have without casually thinking about it during your down-time.

So... it seems that Borg from the future repel physical attacks. Here's a clip from the Voyager episode "Drone" where One tosses random drones aside as he marches through a Borg Sphere: youtu.be/xpudz5kENMw?t=194

I feel like some of the answers to this question is pretty rough, and some additional context and/or motivation for the question would help. Is there a timeframe or other conditions to help define the answers?

I feel like the question that should be asked here is, "What does devops mean?" Because I'm pretty sure it'll mean a wide variety of things, which includes high-level technical support for customers, technical support for engineers, and everything in between. It also sounds like you're new to this career, so I suspect you're about to learn a lot about broad terminology and associated job positions at companies.

Is your question specific to areas on land? Or would some currently plausible but not-currently-existing options also be applicable? Because living under water is probably your best option.

"I would want to know the list of everything they want to install, and if they have central control over the AV (and if they do, why they want that)." This answer feels like a "trust, but verify" type of answer. However, there are a couple of problems with that sort of thing here. One: we're trusting a school's IT department instead of a someone(s) that the OP personally trusts. Two: we do not know what the capabilities of the OP (or anyone else who has this very same question) to do the verification step. When in doubt, the answer should be no.

You only commit stories into a sprint that you believe you can reasonably finish by it's end. If you somehow find some extra time for whatever reason (tasks took less time, tasks are unexpectedly blocked, whatever), then you pull things into the sprint from your backlog. The project manager will likely have already prioritized some items in the backlog for this reason and future sprints. Because as things look now, it appears that you're only completing XX% of your sprint commitments, which won't look good at first glance to management.

There's another track that no one has taken: defining what qualifies as beneficial for privacy. For instance, the most noteworthy privacy news out of Europe that US viewers recently saw is probably the "right to be forgotten" which I can never imagine happening in the US. Whatever public information about a person would still publicly exist, but simply be more difficult to locate. In the US, if information is public, then it's in the public interest to keep it that way and make it accessible so people can be informed. This is a comment since the question is semi-protected.

Honestly, you could say whatever you want, and is why I suspect this question is on hold. However, we do not (as far as we know) have a some life force energy field encompassing all of creation that allows people to move things with their minds in our world. That's the "magic".
Ellesedil
Jul 11, 2017 21:37
I've seen a couple of references to Q in the comments and equating him to "magic". The power of Q is only "magic" in that the characters in Star Trek do not understand how the power of Q works. But everyone understands, and I believe Q even alludes to this, that there is a concrete and reasonable explanation for the mechanism that drives Q's powers. Q's powers are as magical to Picard as the transporter is to the Mintakans.

Not sure if this should be included in your answer or split off into it's own question, but the canon status of games is, to me, confusing. How do we know which games are canon and what parts of the game are considered canon or non-canon?

Usually means there's a systemic issue with the question anyway.
Ellesedil
Jun 2, 2017 19:48
Yeah, I do that if I suspect the question I have might get heavily moderated... which is often a death sentence for said question.
Ellesedil
Jun 2, 2017 19:47
No worries :)
Ellesedil
Jun 2, 2017 19:46
Yeah, I've been around SE enough to keep that in mind.

Do you know of any regulars who could provide some great answers to detailing questions? I'm asking only to set my own expectations :p
Ellesedil
Jun 2, 2017 19:42
Well, a good answer.
Ellesedil
Jun 2, 2017 19:42
Assuming it gets an answer.
Ellesedil
Jun 2, 2017 19:42
That could work to help define further questions
Ellesedil

By paint do you mean exterior? Or do you suggest breaking it even further: paint, glass, plastic trim, chrome, etc, etc?
Ellesedil
Jun 2, 2017 19:40
I'd like to think a good answer can say, "get this item with these qualities in it" as opposed to "buy item xyz offered by company abc". But I don't know. And that's starting to put a lot of expectations on answers.
Ellesedil
Jun 2, 2017 19:39
Well, answers will have to suggest the kinds of things needed since I have no idea.
Ellesedil
Jun 2, 2017 19:38
Sure. Would it still be too broad and too much like recommendations?
Ellesedil
Jun 2, 2017 19:37
So, two separate questions. I'm not sure how this question makes sense to anyone who wants to become a professional.
Ellesedil
Jun 2, 2017 19:37
It probably makes sense to split it out between interior and exterior.
Ellesedil
Jun 2, 2017 19:36
I'm concerned it'd be too broad and possibly too shoppy.
Ellesedil
Jun 2, 2017 19:35
Essentially, a question that helps someone with no detailing knowledge or experience get started.
Ellesedil
Jun 2, 2017 19:35
What to do, what to use (even if it's just "get this kind of product with this attribute" thing as opposed to specific recommendations), that kind of thing.
Ellesedil
Jun 2, 2017 19:34
Mainly, a "how to get started with detailing" question.
Ellesedil
Jun 2, 2017 19:34
I want to ask a question that's potentially quite broad.
Ellesedil

She certainly recognizes Legos, though.

@Avery Yeah, that's a risk I'm assuming will apply to just about any game, though.
Ellesedil
Apr 14, 2017 17:00
Ideally, I'd like a game that we can both play and that largely allows me to shelter her from the general Internet.
Ellesedil

I've been strongly considering picking up Lego Worlds, but I'm open to other suggestions to explore if anyone has any.

So, I have a game recommendation question for you all: I have a soon-to-be 5 year old who likes to do creative things. Right now, she asks me to make characters in Black Desert Online, and only occasionally asks to "play" "her" characters (she mostly just wants me to play them and she watches).

I'm more curious as to why the "something" that is receiving the signal couldn't account for this if it, for some reason, needs to see a collection of files as a whole.
Ellesedil
Apr 12, 2017 21:59
I believe drag and drop will move/copy the files one at a time already.
Ellesedil
Apr 12, 2017 21:57
Honestly, I haven't worked on anything were just firing off a build for any reason at all would be "unreasonable". I think we're on a tangent, though.
Ellesedil
Apr 12, 2017 21:54
Of course not. If commit 2 causes the build to fail, and commits 3, 4, and 5 don't fix it, then that is important to know.
Ellesedil
Apr 12, 2017 21:53
If I fire off 5 commits in 5 minutes, the build server will build 5 times over however long it will take.
Ellesedil
Apr 12, 2017 21:53
And not files being changed.
Ellesedil
Apr 12, 2017 21:53
Err, I think most build servers only pay attention to commits.
Ellesedil
Apr 12, 2017 21:51
Is there a reason why files being added to the directory one at a time is a problem?
Ellesedil
Jan 31, 2017 00:07
I thought I'd drop in and see if Bridge still existed or had succumbed to a nuclear detonation yet.

That's like being medically misdiagnosed and promptly avoiding all doctors. An isolated, mismanaged event shouldn't be a reason to avoid something useful entirely. You just need to be cautious of abuse with that useful something (which people should be anyway). QE is sometimes necessary and deflation isn't usually a good thing (which is why I find your "POOF" to be over the top spin).
