This is why I use s3 sync, versioning and lifecycles for mine on a Standard-IA bucket. My 120Gb costs $1.80 a month. No way would I pay tarsnap prices. The 120Gb is the contents of my OneDrive and local repository trees. This is everything

As someone who just discovered my DR process does not work by testing it, 100% this. The only plan that is likely to work is a repeatable tested one.

Yet. They don't do anything which can't be done by someone else for less money and at less risk to investors.

I still use a descendent, the HP 50g for a lot of stuff. I've got programs I use regularly that are 30 years old now!

At no point in my entire existence would I subject myself to JavaScript voluntarily ever again. I would write my own damn scheme environment and use that instead of this.

This is exactly what I do. I have an amendment on my contract about intellectual property being owned by the company changed from "while under employment" to "using company equipment in employed hours". They sent me two

They were asked to prepare a report about a safety incident at an event I went to. They provided a statement to their manager which was more than a bit economical with the truth and copied my signature off a contract signing that the statem

Yes this is the point about docusign being half assed. It doesn't do any identity validation really. It should verify the signer and the signee are the parties in question using identity services. It doesn't. I believe it can but

Someone did this recently to me i.e. showed me something I'd signed which I didn't. Fortunately this lead to their demise as I am friends with their manager which was unknown by the party in question. Historically I tend to try so

I have to run integrations with things those sort of people designed. We get EDI streams and error codes straight from some COBOL thing from the 70s which has been carefully ported through to whatever crap they're running today verbati

The most effective methodology is to implement one of the loosely agile based methodologies like SAFe Agile. Then hire consultants, none of whom have ever actually managed a software team, to make sure everyone follows the process down to t

Been there, done that. I was "temporarily" staying at my parents after a relationship had fallen through. £375 one month on dialup with Pipex. The insult was followed no less than 3 days later with a similarly large electricity bi

That sounds like you're not resistant to adding complexity to your home. My Philips Hue bulb was replaced with a dumb one when it crapped out and I turn it on and off with a telescoping pointy finger that lives next to my bed ;)

My heating is demand based and my ventilation is measurement based. There is no real need for smart there past a set point and some hysteresis. An analogue comparator is enough tech there! The moment you make it clever past this you incur t

Yes this. The tiny PCs tend to have mobile CPUs in them as well which can feel a little sluggish. You can get a decent small desktop for the same money. I have a Lenovo Neo 50s as my main computer with a 12400, 32Gb of RAM and 1TB SN850X SS

I usually check out anyone we hire on Companies House. On numerous occasions we've found people with at least 3 slightly different names or dates of birth that work for the same pile of dissolved companies. Sometimes you can Google the
