Only at Calais are they on the French side. They're on the UK side elsewhere.

It chimes with UNIX philosophy for me. Organisations like the WTO which do (approximately) one thing and one thing well are preferable to those that try and do a bit of everything. It keeps the politics to a minimum. Likewise, subject to th

Silently downvote me all you like, but only in the last month have I seen code I wrote before we even used CVS (remember that?) for source control still being used daily. 18 months ago I submitted a proposal for some software I had ready to

It seems remarkably well suited in concept for playing such a role. However, in this respect (among others), it's not a well-functioning organisation. It's not even just one organisation. NHS IT is fundamentally crippled.

Everyone was told to see if they can find cost savings. This just wasn't one though in the bigger picture and even after being told it wasn't one, even by their line manager and separately the CTO, they pursued it over and over. I

This might be controversial, but I don't think you get to be a half decent developer without being a reasonable sysadmin. Maybe my experience is unusual, but I've never worked anywhere that the sysadmins knew more than the develop

I'd be interested in how long they've had 68 employees for; was it 68 two years prior to the trial, or even 51? I wonder if there's a balance somewhere here too. Perhaps have employees work 7 hours at a slightly reduced rate.

For when - it was c.2009 London started having routine armed patrols I think (it's down to local forces in theory). Why is harder to answer. As a trend I don't think it's been directly related to terrorism. There have been no

> UK armed police are only deployed where a firearm is believed to be involved That used to be true, with a few exceptions (e.g. airports). It's not the case today and increasingly firearms officers are armed on patrol routinely.

I remember people saying #3 about mobile phones. And thinking it was odd myself the first time I heard someone near me talking, turned round and there was only one person there. Bluetooth earpieces for calls are already fairly well accepted

Like virtually everything else in software, it's a tool. Become familiar with it, know its advantages and disadvantages and use it when you think appropriate; always and never are probably not optimal.

Definitely. I did some fixed price work this summer for a project where I thought the scope was unusually well understood by both sides. About 3 months, 60k USD if done by a fixed deadline (yes - fixed scope, fixed price, fixed deadline!) a

Sad news. My dad (a fast jet pilot) took us to Florida, from the UK, to watch him go up in 1998. I didn't really know who he was at the time but it's not often I've seen my dad look up (no pun intended) to someone. Left an im

They're still there, that's the problem. I think it's time for the Labour party to go out to pasture. There needs to be a split, take some Conservatives, some UKIP (maybe, if there's any more moderate ones left) but enou

Small point. This is about protecting yourself from ISP logging now required by government. Using a VPN and to tunnel your connection via [another country] may not be sufficient to avoid the government snooping Snowden talked about, as refe

My wife works for the NHS so I had a quick look at her inbox (as it were). Thoroughly disappointing. Normally when I see this happen it's at relatively IT-literate organisations. The NHS emails all seem to be single replies to the orig

Tread carefully; while I suspect most of Europe doesn't care too much about Trump, the media and rest of the left wing in the UK labelled anyone pro-Brexit as ultra-right wing / neo Nazi types - they're still being called une

I find VMs are super slow for development purposes (I mean setup, starting up and shutting down rather than actual processing), where docker's made a massive difference. YMMV especially if you're not spinning up new projects frequ

I don't and if you're religious about it, I'm afraid I don't want to work with you (I accept the feeling may be mutual)! Most developers don't have a complete knowledge of it and don't enjoy writing it; essenti

One of the nice aspects of it is that if you have, say, a setter method which does something slightly unusual (e.g. setLastName does a call to setName(getFirstName() + " " +lastName) - unlikely example perhaps) then it stands out
