If they're on Macs, Postico might be an option. It's way easier to use than PgAdmin, and while you can't make your own CRUD screens, thoughtful setup of roles and constraints should be able to keep your users out of trouble.

I get the impression that copyright infringement on permissively licensed works is more the norm than the exception these days. It seems like most popular JavaScript libraries are MIT licensed, but it seems lost on the users that the MIT li

Are you affected even if you never pressed the "Add to UNMS Cloud" button? I never did because I thought it looked like asking to get pwned.

What do they think the GPLv4 will be? A permissive license?

I don't understand this argument at all. Unless you interpret the disclaimer as "you are not allowed to contract support from a third party", in which case you need to fire your legal department. I suspect the argument usuall

Film and video certainly did exist in the 1980s.

Well, they would have to use proprietary libraries. Which isn't all that uncommon now either. As a programmer I'm immensely thankful that most problems can be solved with some MIT licensed thing that gets rubber stamped by legal s

I thought I could use this to my advantage and game the system. I convinced management we needed to hire a prestigious consultant to get us out of the tight spot we were in. They were absolutely ecstatic about this great visionary I had bro

Catholicism seems to have a negligible influence in Spain nowadays. I went to Andalusia a few years ago, and found every single Catholic church there to be closed and shuttered. Crossed over the runway to Gibraltar and found them open daily

And palliative care given to those who aren't actually dying, but are just too old for anyone to care.

Very interesting. I have suspected for a long time that due diligence was not actually due at all, but just pointless make-work. Outsiders, no matter how prestigious their MBAs may be, are unlikely likely to come up with any kind of revolut

I dislike cyclists too, but this one is entirely on the drivers. Looking what vehicles are ahead of you and not running into them is not a difficult task. I think VR simulators with eye tracking could be used in the future to screen drivers

I’m guessing “hard drive” in common usage still refers to the big box under the desk. In that sense a laptop does not have a hard drive.

And of course After Effects is not originally from Adobe either, being bought through Aldus who in turn got it from CoSA. It's funny how much pointless early 90s computer trivia I still recall from playing with promotional CD-ROMs as a

What would those companies do for leverage against the platforms? Paying a fee to such a company is one thing, but I'd imagine having them force you and everyone else in their portfolio into a boycott of the platform would be a tough s

I love it. I've advocated for years for something like this. There's a large class of users who don't want to learn to program, but whose needs are not sufficiently met by "select a variable to plot from a drop-down&quot

What about an SQLite database for configuration? For most applications it would probably be overkill, but it seems useful for applications that need to change their own configuration (e.g. by the user through its GUI), or need its configura

If not customers, then what else could they be? Data entry workers? That just makes Facebook’s behaviour all the more egregious. Perhaps there needs to be a social data a try worker’s union.
