I suspect this will be unpopular but I'm a Redis avoider these days. I have run it in production for a few years on large projects and while it does what it says on the tin, I'd rather use another solution because having a proper

I actually have to pay for Adobe because I need the features (signing, annotation, redaction, OCR etc). Does SumatraPDF cover those at all? As for startup speed, it's not really an issue as Adobe just lurks there all day in the taskbar

Oh good. I'm not going to die in poverty. Going to celebrate a little now :) Seriously though, excellent tool. This is the sort of thing that big fintechs are selling clients for silly money. And this is 1000x better than anything they

I wrote a mobile POD system for CE years ago which was still used recently here in the UK. It got replaced with android phones a couple of years ago. RIP. I still like the platform if I'm honest.

No. You have a 2 hour window and 30 raspberry pi's. How long do you spend fixing them versus teaching? It's just a fucking computer, not a world changing thing. They already have computers that don't have all the downsides bu

Kubernetes is great for the problems it is designed for. It's fucking terrible for the other 99%. Source: juggle lots of clusters full of things that shouldn't be in Kubernetes.

I'm out of the market then so I'll drop what I think will be the situation: Put everything on: cost savings, energy reduction, privacy, death of advertising. Cost savings -> inefficient languages and architectures will die beca

Oh I'm bloody fantastically happy. I am merely cynical about the state of the industry as it stands. I'm literally 18 months from packing up this shit and doing what I really want to do which involves nothing whatsoever to do with

I have ridden these fads for the last 25 years (well actually longer - I had a different career first!) and made a fuck load of money out of it. But I am tired of it now. I really don't care any more. I am fed up of solving the same pr

Glad to hear it worked out for you. My kids school went full on Pi and they were broken and discarded after 2 months because they are mostly not suitable for educational settings from a software and hardware perspective. The hardware is not

Don't even start on that. It's no longer funny coming up with things like that for me. I'm currently trying to get out of the industry because I'm drowning in architectural bullshit like this constantly. It is pedalled b

Yes. No one really gives a shit if their vendors are hacked. They are just happy that they have someone else to point at from a risk perspective. "They had all these third party certifications that said it was safe. It wasn't our

I can't wait for every narcissist copycat bastard CEO to read these stories and start wondering if they should do the same.

Is that AWS as well? Because half the AWS ancillary services are run by three guys in India who are out of the office 4 days a week from experience.

This is one of the many reasons I use an ad blocker. That entire advert is not visible on any of my machines therefore I will never click it.

That's the BBC's policy. They either don't run stories or run them when attention is off the issue where they don't get ranked highly.

I don't hold much hope. Two days ago we had what I consider to be primary sources i.e. BBC, NYP, CNN all posting unverified information as fact in published articles. This information turned out (a) to be completely incorrect and (b) h

That would be a severe underestimation of my persistence on such matters. I held a support case open for nearly a decade at MSFT on Connect. It only got closed because they shut Connect down.
