The reason lower-tier support personnel are employed is because someone reasoned that the engineers' time is too valuable. If 90 % of incoming support requests will be escalated to developers, it makes little sense to have extra people

Let me get this straight: Are there people who have been wrongly convicted and are currently locked up only because someone hasn't done their paperwork?

Shouldn't it be possible to store and grow the bacteria at an industrial scale, just like large breweries grow and closely guard their secret yeast strands? If the wood is an essential part, why not line the steel vats with cedar?

None for private use. The benefits are negligible, and directly SSHing into the home box is secure enough. My mobile ISP is much more reliable than any of these third party VPN providers whose customer base mainly consists of the uninform

According to my SW engineering study books, iterative development is redesigning the whole product from the beginning to add new features. Surely the author meant more agile methods?

Mostly reminds me of https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/The_Homer On a serious note, I mostly disagree about the small size. The author mentioned his preferred size being A5, which is about half a letter. Having to type

RAID is the zeroth-tier backup. At least it will prevent most of the horror stories where people accidentally destroy their backups when trying to restore them.

I had this happen eleven years ago, when an integrated hardware RAID controller in a Dell server decided to literally blow up. Oddly enough, despite all the black burn marks on the mainboard, rest of the server seemed to work just okay. Ano

Funny how they say that Git uses a "Bazaar-style development" process when Bazaar literally is another VCS. I'm also not convinced it's a good idea to merge your bug tracker and version control.

A not-so-fun fact: My country used to be on the 301 Special Report (IPR "rogue country" list) until 2015 because American pharmaceutical companies didn't consider procedural patents good enough. The last patents in that categ

Surely this cannot be a new thing. I've been using six-wheel cam carts a decade ago. Did you put it in the Blockchain? Does it leak your personal information to foreign companies and three-letter agencies? What's the novelty here?

Ah, the horrors of lifecycle management of consumer devices. Every networked product should come with a legally binding A4/letter-sized sheet that clearly shows the last date the product is guaranteed to receive security patches. Not f

See the reply to the sibling post. In any case, what works for you might not work for other people. We're also talking about four–five years old issues here.

I originally had two reasons why I bought Sublime. The primary one was that it felt like Vim with everything configured out of the box. Another reason was that ST2 had long outstanding bugs that were already fixed in the ST3 development ver
