Cambridge Analytica and meddling in the elections by Russian trolls is what happened. Also: a quite effective assault at climate action using misinformation, violent riots, a movement campaigning for civil war, ridiculous medical advise by

Hetzner is pretty cool, but its a far cry from the vast amount of services offered by the big 3.

It's the lifeblood of enterprise IT. The AD manages everything that is concerned with authentication and authorization, not only of actual employees but often also of service accounts (servers). If it's not managed through the AD,

Most European countries develop their contract tracing apps as open source software. The fragmented landscape is unfortunate. It's not just the code being developed that could benefit from a cooperative approach, the ethical, legal, me

I'm surprised by this too, and then again not really. The Trump strategy to blame China seems to work really well and fit right in with some of the knee-jerk reactions in the tech-world, which does have a strong libertarian tendency. C

Did you work at many different companies, one or a few? It's interesting to me because I don't recognize this at all. Quite the opposite. Standup take no longer than 15 minutes, we frequently address issues which otherwise would h

Probably not, but the US has started more than a few wars which has led to insane amounts of suffering and dragged it's allies into it as well. This, as a European, I fear more than China's foreign policies. However I am truly afr

It isn't immediately obvious that it is, to me. Could you expand on that? For example, what works for html is basically the dom (data structure) and its functionality (the functions). There are others ways of creating and working with

Did you miss that the complete headline is actually 'Google execs reportedly debated getting out of cloud computing, but instead set a goal of being a top-two player by 2023'? Or is it more the fact they considered it at all?

This reads like a list of decent but non critical enhancements to many programs. The funny thing is, myself and most programmers I know love working on things like this but most of the time it is not the programmer who is calling the shot

> Anyone involved with forecasting will know what I mean. I'm not involved with forecasting, but am generally very skeptical of people 'debunking' climate science in non-scientific forums such as these. Can you back up you

Yes, it's because the impact of putting greenhouse gas in the atmosphere is not immediate. Temperatures will continue to rise after the fact. Sea level rise is also much slower, meaning that even if we stop emitting, levels continue to

The article you link to does not back up your claim about scientific consensus at all. In fact, it's rather biased and bad from that point of view.

I've stopped believing that, we’ve done this approach for 30 years now and it had no effect. It would be foolish to think continuing on the same path will give the same result. A better approach would be to start with the truth.

Not really, its full of mistakes and half truths. I'll try to post some after I'm on a proper machine.

No, we're not paying the cost on the impact on the climate of our products. We're basically borrowing / stealing this from the future, the poor and the commons.

You are mostly right, except that the actions of gitlab _are_ an active endeavour in various respects: - putting a stop on political discussion at the workplace - making it clear in the handbook as a matter of policy that gitlab will sell t

Good to hear a sane voice here. It's weird how people are able to convince themselves and others they can just not take a position. As if that is not an position in itself, usually supporting the status quo and conventional morally of

Agree. This looks to me as if the audience is traditional enterprise who haven't yet adopted DevOps and to make kubernetes more accessible. But those are likely better served by either a PaaS or serverless solution. It doesn't ins

This is very good point. Often our tacit knowledge about how to communicate is much larger than the explicit theory. When people then use a framework to communicate, they sometimes actually get less intelligent in a way because it ignores

Management shouldn't even be at standups. Its for syncing with your peers, not an instrument of control. But I guess this is what you're saying, right?

I didn't get that from the article. It's more like: most of the new tech won't stick and if you aren't smart enough to discern what will stick and what not, then focus on learning tech that has already matured and been a

Might also be an inappropriate application of recursion in a language where loops are more common. I've seen people who learn new stuff go overboard with clever code in production that is less readable for their peers. Recursion should

This. A lot of companies want two things: open source and a way to pay for software. Sometimes this is even the reason to use SaaS, because it is easy to pay for.

Somewhat. But I would rather characterize Go as a modernized middle ground between C and Java. Both C++ and python are rather fully featured languages, while the design of Go seems to aim for more simplicity and quality of implementation wh
