Spot on. Having one AWS account scares the crap out of me as well. It’s never a good thing if all your eggs are in one basket. My money is on stuff spread across Bytemark, Linode and DigitalOcean with a DR plan involving mostly automatic re

I notice the X-Y mode on my rigol DSO is crap compared to an analogue scope. No hope of ever running it on that.

Does it put itself out if it catches fire? Lambos always seem to be on fire.

The winners are proving the media impetus and the guns. It’s a big circle.

Thanks for the heads up - appreciated!

Mine is 57.0 as well. If you go to preferences there is a "restart to update firefox" button. Whack that after installing the beta and you get the release version. I really like this. I've dumped Chrome and Safari entirely

I think we can bitch all we like and nothing will happen. International taxation is complicated and part of a multinational's business model revolves around exploiting that for shareholder gain. What this points to is that we need a ne

Yes I suppose it was.

Yes. Software support was good, but price and performance were not. That and Oracle.

SPARC was the solution. It's open and royalty free and was sold by multiple vendors. Add to that Open Firmware and you're done. It's also not the hacked up turd that x86-64 is or the fragmented mess that ARM is. Problem is it

Yeah you can indeed. But that £8 includes next day courier delivery (which is free), a phone number you can actually call and talk to someone instantly, materials and tutorials on their web site and product support. They do a slightly lesse

I prefer pragmatist. I think we have the same goal really which is avoiding anything that is a commercial risk, money and time sink and that’s the status quo with this particular organisation even to this day.

Let’s be realistic. How many forks, other than a personal fork for patches, are actually viable? This is one of those attractive fallacies like owning a Tesla service manual. Complaining is warranted when you are a paying customer and you a

That was one of several IBM products that I had a bad experience with. Lotus Notes too for example.

If you go to McDonalds and someone serves you a turd instead of a burger three times in a row, do you go back again? If IBM or Intel served me a turd, I wouldn't go back again. In fact IBM served me a helping of WebSphere once and I di

Have you ever tried to contribute to or use a Microsoft backed open source project before? I have. I've also worked as a partner, SQL certified DBA for the best part of 20 years of my life. Considering we can't even get anything f

That’s a rather good article. I will digest that today. I’m currently using Cypress’s PSoC line (4200M boards) for a couple of personal projects. The reconfigurable hardware and analogue parts actually kill a lot of external hardware. It’s

My father did this. Also he imported stuff from Taiwan and crudely ported the software for European market for a 200% markup. Literally unpack, throw a floppy disk in it, pack, sell.

An interesting perspective. I can’t disagree.

Another reference here. Go for it. It’s a brilliant book.

Yes it’s exactly the same. I tend to get some of the difficult and fun tasks like writing parsers and things and that comes along once every couple of years or so :(

Haha similar. I had my own lab of skip dived kit in halls. I got told my lab assignment looked like something out of AoE. Couldn’t complain because it worked and had a cheaper BOM than they expected.
