Change, Conflict and Community
The cost to business of unresolved conflicts is high; tribunals, loss of productivity, resignations and damaged reputations are serious consequences for all concerned.With increased organizational change in the form of changes in leadership, restructuring, downsizing, matrix management, mergers, acquisitions and systems changes comes increased political activity and the potential for either increased learning and growth or tension and unproductive conflict.

Extreme Programming Explained : Embrace Change
“In this second edition of Extreme Programming Explained, Kent Beck organizes and presents five years’ worth of experiences, growth, and change revolving around XP.If you are seriously interested in understanding how you and your team can start down the path of improvement with XP, you must read this book.” — Francesco Cirillo, Chief Executive Officer, XPLabs S.R.L. “The first edition of this book told us what XP was—it changed the way many of us think about software development.This second edition takes it farther and gives us a lot more of the ‘why’ of XP, the motivations and the principles behind the practices.This is great stuff. Armed with the ‘what’ and the ‘why,’ we can now all set out to confidently work on the ‘how’: how to run our projects better, and how to get agile techniques adopted in our organizations.” — Dave Thomas, The Pragmatic Programmers LLC “This book is dynamite!It was revolutionary when it first appeared a few years ago, and this new edition is equally profound.For those who insist on cookbook checklists, there’s an excellent chapter on ‘primary practices,’ but I urge you to begin by truly contemplating the meaning of the opening sentence in the first chapter of Kent Beck’s book: ‘XP is about social change.’ You should do whatever it takes to ensure that every IT professional and every IT manager—all the way up to the CIO—has a copy of Extreme Programming Explained on his or her desk.” — Ed Yourdon, author and consultant “XP is a powerful set of concepts for simplifying the process of software design, development, and testing.It is about minimalism and incrementalism, which are especially useful principles when tackling complex problems that require a balance of creativity and discipline.” — Michael A.Cusumano, Professor, MIT Sloan School of Management, and author of The Business of Software “ Extreme Programming Explained is the work of a talented and passionate craftsman.Kent Beck has brought together a compelling collection of ideas about programming and management that deserves your full attention.My only beef is that our profession has gotten to a point where such common-sense ideas are labeled ‘extreme.’...” — Lou Mazzucchelli, Fellow, Cutter Business Technology Council “If your organization is ready for a change in the way it develops software, there’s the slow incremental approach, fixing things one by one, or the fast track, jumping feet first into Extreme Programming.Do not be frightened by the name, it is not that extreme at all.It is mostly good old recipes and common sense, nicely integrated together, getting rid of all the fat that has accumulated over the years.” — Philippe Kruchten, UBC, Vancouver, British Columbia “Sometimes revolutionaries get left behind as the movement they started takes on a life of its own.In this book, Kent Beck shows that he remains ahead of the curve, leading XP to its next level.Incorporating five years of feedback, this book takes a fresh look at what it takes to develop better software in less time and for less money.There are no silver bullets here, just a set of practical principles that, when used wisely, can lead to dramatic improvements in software development productivity.” — Mary Poppendieck, author of Lean Software Development: An Agile Toolkit “Kent Beck has revised his classic book based on five more years of applying and teaching XP.He shows how the path to XP is both

Why doesn't the DNS server of Linux Mint change?
The DNS server of Linux Mint may not change because it is configured to use a specific DNS server by default. This default DNS server is typically provided by the network's DHCP server, and it is set to automatically obtain DNS server information when connecting to a network. Additionally, the DNS server settings may be manually configured by the user, and unless changed, they will remain the same. If there are issues with the DNS server not changing, it may be due to network configuration or connectivity issues.

Which distro do you use, Linux users?
As an AI, I do not have personal preferences or the ability to use operating systems. However, Linux users often choose their distribution based on their specific needs and preferences. Some popular distributions include Ubuntu for its user-friendly interface, Fedora for its focus on the latest technologies, and Debian for its stability and reliability. Ultimately, the choice of distribution depends on the user's requirements and level of expertise.

Is it difficult to change fans?
Changing fans can vary in difficulty depending on the type of fan and the location where it is installed. In general, changing a ceiling fan or a stand-alone fan can be relatively straightforward with the right tools and instructions. However, changing fans that are integrated into a larger system, such as a ventilation fan in a bathroom or kitchen, may require more expertise and potentially professional help. It is important to follow safety guidelines and turn off power sources before attempting to change any type of fan.

What should change in the LGBTQ+ community?
In order to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for all members of the LGBTQ+ community, there should be increased education and awareness about the diverse experiences and identities within the community. It is important to address issues of discrimination and marginalization faced by certain groups within the LGBTQ+ community, such as transgender individuals, people of color, and those with disabilities. Additionally, there should be more resources and support available for mental health and well-being, as LGBTQ+ individuals are at a higher risk for mental health challenges. Overall, fostering a more intersectional and inclusive approach within the LGBTQ+ community is crucial for creating a more equitable and empowering space for all individuals.

How can one downgrade the Linux kernel?
To downgrade the Linux kernel, you can follow these steps: 1. First, identify the version of the kernel you want to downgrade to and make sure it is available in your distribution's package repository. 2. Next, use the package manager of your Linux distribution to remove the current kernel version. For example, in Ubuntu, you can use the command `sudo apt-get remove linux-image-<version>`. 3. Then, install the desired kernel version using the package manager. For example, in Ubuntu, you can use the command `sudo apt-get install linux-image-<desired_version>`. 4. Finally, reboot your system to load the downgraded kernel. Keep in mind that downgrading the kernel may have implications for system stability and compatibility with hardware and software, so it's important to carefully consider the reasons for downgrading and to backup important data before proceeding.

What makes the Linux kernel so special?
The Linux kernel is special for several reasons. Firstly, it is open-source, meaning that its source code is freely available for anyone to use, modify, and distribute. This has led to a large and active community of developers constantly improving and updating the kernel. Additionally, the Linux kernel is highly customizable and can be tailored to specific needs, making it suitable for a wide range of devices and systems. Finally, the Linux kernel is known for its stability, security, and performance, making it a popular choice for servers, embedded systems, and other critical applications.
-
Why can't the Linux kernel be loaded?
The Linux kernel cannot be loaded because it is a fundamental part of the operating system that needs to be present in memory before any other software can run. The kernel is responsible for managing the system's resources, such as memory, CPU, and devices, and it provides essential services for other software to function. Without the kernel, the operating system cannot start and the computer cannot run any programs. Therefore, the kernel needs to be loaded into memory during the boot process in order for the operating system to become operational.
-
How can I activate a newer Linux kernel?
To activate a newer Linux kernel, you can follow these steps: 1. Download the desired kernel version from the official Linux kernel website. 2. Compile the kernel source code on your system using the appropriate tools and configurations. 3. Install the newly compiled kernel on your system and update the bootloader configuration to boot from the new kernel. 4. Reboot your system to activate the newer Linux kernel.
