Ah, the UK, It has been interesting to watch your "circus" from the other side of the planet. IMO, the UK handled Covid exceptionally poorly by repeatedly being afraid to act until it was too late. Here in Australia (Specifically

Their marketing outright lying about the progress and leadership not caring made it "necessary" to catch up.

because sqlite is super simple to use and most things won't ever need to scale beyond one server.

Would you be willing to opensource that "something else" or if not then perhaps write a blog post about how it works?

The biggest difference comes from actually owning the block of IP addresses that you use instead of renting them.

I guess that is possible, I am only working with anecdotal evidence here. I have only ever seen the case where internal support handles most issues and less than a handful needs to be escalated to the vendor each year.

by chillfox 6y ago
Also once you deal with medium to large companies they will have an internal support team solve a lot of minor issues before it ever gets escalated to you.

I would prefer a simple language with a giant stdlib. Every common protocol/algorithm should be in the stdlib.

You don't need to be a collector to keep old games around. You just need to get some favorites. I keep going back to these games: - Knights of the Old Republic (2003) - Jade Empire (2005) - Shadow of the Colossus (2005) - Game Dev Tyco

Honestly, As someone who lives 3000+ km from the closest cloud data centre (cable length is closer to 4000 km) I hope that this technology fails. It would really suck if a significant amount of games ended up being exclusively available th

I agree, but when it came to bullying the anti bullying laws apparently didn't cover online bullying which didn't really make sense to me. So I assume that this is a case of the person in the drivers seat must have a drivers licen

Well, software that controls a car is a new thing. So I would imagine that it hasn't really been regulated yet in most jurisdictions. For some reason we have a tendency to write laws so that they are specific to individual things rathe

I am guessing that there's only two ways for them to remove the tweet. 1. Delete it with an apology (admitting guilt is not likely to be great for the lawsuit). 2. Delete it and say nothing (destruction of evidence is not likely to be

It is simply the effect of Google spending their reputation as if it is a never ending fountain of free cash.

I didn't accuse the US of teaching religion, I accused it of teaching creationism and undermining peoples ability to learn critical thinking. I know that religion is taught in the EU, I went to school in Denmark. And no one pushed it a

by chillfox 6y ago
Sure, but as someone not from the US it looks like that education ain't worth much in the US as you deliberately undermine peoples ability to learn critical thinking by teaching creationism in schools.

Maintaining a self hosted solution like GilLab takes less than a day of work a year, and it has more features than GitHub. (I have been doing it for years)

by chillfox 6y ago
People really over estimate the difficulty of running self-hosted systems with great uptime. When self hosting you can get away with simpler systems that ends up being more stable and have higher up times for lower effort. The reason you se

I think one of the reasons people don't really value "enterprise stability" is because it is mostly a myth.

Well yeah, The people who are willing to spend money are on RHEL instead of a clone.

The clients won't care until after all of their files have been encrypted/deleted.

Gitlab provides 400 minutes a month on their free plan and you can use that on private projects, not just OSS. On top of that it is easy to setup a private CI runner on a $5 month VM.

Crystal is a bit like ruby, but with static types and multi treading is being worked on.

Yep, same. We have had to replace RHEL with Ubuntu for container workloads to keep things working.

Red Hat removed docker prematurely, Podman is not ready to replace docker for all production cases yet. We have had to replace RHEL systems with Ubuntu to keep some of our applications running as they fail on Podman. A major problem is also

Status pages are generally so unreliable that we do our own monitoring of external cloud resources that we depend on.

I disagree about iPhone's being inferior to android phones. While I don't doubt that high (build) quality android phones exist none of the ones I have personally owned qualified (Sony Ericsson, Sony, Samsung). My current iPhone ha

By extension advertising to iPhone users is more valuable as they have more money or are more willing to spend more money.
