I get a positive feeling when others have honestly reviewed a product/service, whether that be positive or negative feedback. I most certainly do not get a positive feeling when watching someone recommend just keeping your mouth shut b

I agree with the point you are making, but I disagree with the conclusion. A company like Meta that has been building and advancing the field of ML, AI, and even falling foul of the ethics/morality of large scale public manipulation an

That's ret-conning a correlation. Npm aren't _generating_ packages themselves. The community at large is generating them.

As head of eng in a ftse100, this is so far from the truth. .Net is a heavily targeted ecosphere, possibly moreso than npm, precisely because of its relation with finance. We have to contend with not only nuget and the sheer abundance of pa

That's a non-answer. What more do you want? What would be "enough"?

that feels like a rather fragile process for something that is underpinning the internet to permit such mistakes occur so easily.

This is certainly a factor, but there are additional factors, too, that mean demand has been increased. In the UK mortgage application controls were increased after 2008. This meant it became particularly difficult for first-time buyers to

Bluetooth was _adopted_ by IEEE 802.15, using Bluetooth as a base. It didn't invent it. I'm also older than that. I was referring to the initial Bluetooth papers by Ericsson Mobile in the early 90s.

Why did Betamax lose out to VHS? Why did MiniDisc never take off? Why does the internet still rely on JavaScript? From my sideline perspective it's probably because Bluetooth was developed without knowing how successful and expansive i

Remove software patents and we'll have megacorps absorbing smaller businesses for free through theft of IP instead of acquisitions, and all the antitrust protection (as limited as it may be) instantly evaporates.

SMS campaigns, both target and blanket, simply must dwarf any 2fa usage. In just one role I saw Sms-shots with 10s of thousands of recipients. SMS is also fairly heavily used for non-secure notifications (you bill is due / payment rece

What I was trying to say is that I don't think it would have as much success as it did then, if it were released today. The number of "lifer" employees with no aspirations is vanishingly small compared to 20+ years ago.

At the time of The Office release here (UK) it was a perfect satire. Many of us (not just in my bubble but according to lots of popular media outlets) very much had a socially-desperate David Brent for a boss, try-hard Gareth and drifter Ke

I've used SHA-256 HashCash before, for PoW authentication on an API built to support a mobile app. The nice bit about using HashCash is increasing the difficulty for successive failed attempts. I implemented this in response to our API

Service Fabric needs to die. It is an abomination on software. Why, why, * WHY* does each SF service need to have some terrible wrapper code that forces it to run in, and only in, SF? Oh ya.. vendor lock-in. No thanks. Yes, I'm aware

They didn't say used. Also that is such reductive argument. When I sell my furniture to someone else am I supposed to pity the carpenters and whatnot? How about when I sell my house, should the developers who built it get a cut?
