  • They won’t all be interchangeable. They can have totally different max power delivery, and a device is free to require more (up to 240W by spec). The nice thing about USB-PD is it’s negotiated and a device won’t (shouldn’t) try to pull too much power for a given plug. So as long as everyone sticks to specs, they’ll be interchangeable so long as the supply can supply enough. If it cannot, at least a device should keep itself off as if a chord isn’t plugged in, or preferably have some sort of “supply too low” sign.













  • Yeah, a union would be great, although I feel like that would be something that would have to come quite a ways down the road of ethical devs coming together. After all, not even the FOSS community agrees on what is ethical to give away and to whom.

    Maybe a union is still the right term for the abstract ‘coming together’ I’m thinking of, since it’s hard to imagine how they could go from a generic collective to a body that could actually make effective demands, but perhaps it’s roughly the same process as getting a job-wide union off the ground.







  • Agile SHOULD have a lot of the things ‘traditional’ management looks for! Though so many, including many college teachers I’ve heard, think of it way too strictly.

    It’s just the time scale shrinks as necessary for specific deliverable goals instead of the whole product… instead of having a design for the whole thing from top to bottom, you start with a good overview and implement general arch to service what load you’ll need. Then you break down the tasks, and solve the problems more and more and yadda yadda…

    IMO, the people that think Agile Development means only implement the bare minimum … are part of the complete fucking idiot portion of the industry.
