While VS Code presumably can do almost everything Webstorm (and other Jetbrains products) can, my experience in my fairly large software company is that most of the people that use VS Code don't actually bother to install the plugins t

Doesn't seem like Teams is having any trouble competing with Slack given that Teams is bundled with enterprise Office. My former employer (large consultancy) shut down Slack and switched to Teams as a cost measure because they already

On a personal note, I'm glad to see the outcome of this bug bounty was as I expected from the beginning: bugs, and pretty serious ones. E-voting is a bad idea, and government attempting to implement it is an even worse idea.

I'm fairly sure my start to programming was from a demo disc that came with our PS2 which had a basic interpreter on it. I remember it could so some graphics stuff that was interesting, but I just made some simple text based programs.

My counter-point to this would be that we haven't seen significant breaches (at least, not on the scale of this) from the tech giants (FAANG and co). So there are companies that can keep your data safe. They're just vanishingly fe

Nice to see that my sentiment is shared. I heard people joke about C# during university, but it's a well designed language, VS is a joy, and I'll take it over Java any day

Not really. Operators are things you deploy to a cluster that can subscribe to updates to K8s API objects. They get notified of changes and can act on them. This effectively lets you implement new services for Kubernetes as custom resource

If IKEA can build a machine that repeatedly flexes their chairs until failure, I'm forced to believe that Samsung can build a machine that repeatedly flexes their screen. Surely that's not going to be the failure mode, it's m

I'm still figuring things out. Last job was at a big 4 consultancy doing CMS work, current job is at ~1500 employee software company doing a mix mobile and web dev. Agile definitely feels better than waterfall, but it's also made

Because we tend to remember the few times where they get it very wrong (which is always going to happen because of the chaotic nature of weather) and ignore the large percentage of the time when they're right.

Thank you, that's a really wonderful and interesting video. It all seems a little too easy and too sensible to be the cause of such radically outlying success. But it certainly presents an interesting narrative that I'm going to t

Note that rook is still in beta. I've had pretty bad luck with it not supporting features that I need. First it was not supporting adding additional OSDs on the same node, though I believe that's now fixed. In the end it was that

I'm sure this has been said before, but: "easy" = "i don't have to manage my key" = "insecure because then the existing telecoms act covers this". That's likely the crux of it

The people you should be criticising are the fad diet people. It is they that are bringing gluten intolerance into disrepute.

Although concerning and moronic, I'm comforted by the fact that this bill is so fantastically infeasible that I'll never personally have to worry about it as a developer. Any organization where you could be secretly compelled to i

There are places that (shock! horror!) don't actually mind that much what tech stack you have a background in. These are also likely to be places where to use the right tools for the right job, failure and learning from it is encourage

So you listened to the Tomorrow podcast rerun as well? I think I skimmed this when it first came out, but after two years working at a consulting firm where our clients are borderline tech illiterate, this seems like a pretty decent primer

Not necessarily disagreeing, but doesn't that basically invalidate the idea of a monopoly in a free and open internet? Perhaps the definition of a monopoly from analog era doesn't apply to the internet?

Oh for sure, the current rate of aggressive expansion and new breweries both in the US and Australia is unsustainable. My armchair assessment is the Australia will start to see an uptick in small brands folding because they're unsustai

You make an interesting point, though I think you're placing a little more responsibility on YouTube than they currently warrant. Perhaps in 20 years the argument you're making would be taken seriously if YouTube continues on it&#

Your analogy is close but flawed in a major way. The underlying assumption when hacking is that if you don't understand the internals of something that's ok, but you can rely on understanding the interface, and your manipulation o

I agree with you and the grandparent partly, but if you take an intersectional view of diversity issues, solving diversity and (as you put it) increasing inter-group empathy are effectively one in the same. For me, the constant rearing of t

I agree with you broadly, but I think there are a few nuances here that make all of the difference. The first is that I feel that text is an AWFUL medium for communication for these sorts of discussions and criticisms, unless expertly craft
