Isn’t hacker news doing the same thing for the most parts? This is a little rude but I went through your history and maybe you should be more careful who you call “uninteresting rubes” and “drivel”. Don't get me wrong, I don't th

I can point to very few IT systems that are actually increasing our value. They are necessary because it’s hard to run a 300 employee investment bank using just excel and outlook, so they sort of are. If you look at the per employee perform

Yes. Before Azure/AWS became the “obvious” choice for a lot of European non-tech enterprise many organisations had already moved to the cloud of sorts. Basically there are companies that house servers, and you rent a place to put your

Having been the enterprise customer for two decades I've never worked in a place where this wouldn't have been a sure way to lose our business. In fact, Microsoft is in the process of losing us right now because of their continual

Interestingly I do the same as you, partly because the single responsibility part of SOLID, but also because it just appeals to me to write clean easily understandable code. It’s for different reasons than you, however, my ADHD brain can “b

I'm not convinced they are throwing money at nothing this time. If you look into my post history (don't, I'll give you a tl/dr) you can see me being fairly critical about the state of LLMs, but also that I find them incr

I’m surprised at how the EU has been sleeping on this platform. Well maybe not the EU, as the Union itself actually has a server instance for both its organisations and it’s elected officials, but the member countries. Like my own. All our

Because the plan is to never have excess or idle workers. I used taxis as the example, I could’ve used elderly care where things are run similar to what you suggest. Well, 80% of its is run by public nurses while the other 20% is run by pri

When I worked in a medium sized municipality in Denmark I was exposed to a lot of cases where good intentioned privatisation ended up being very expensive. I don’t have a good solution in mind, and I’m not for or against private and public

Having spent a few decades in Enteprise digitalisation, both in the public and in the private sector I think this issue is sort of unsolvable. I’m not convinced it’s fully down to managers, but this is obviously the anecdotal and non-tech o

You can achieve the same thing TS does with JSDoc, it's just a lot harder to control it across teams. TS wouldn't be very useful on its own for our usage, but once you couple ESlint with TSconfig and setup your ourganisationwide v

I ran the Apple Enterprise account for a municipality in Denmark. I don't usually have a work device, partly because I don't want to bother with the taxation rules but mainly because I just don't want two devices. Anyway, wha

I think you can come up with a range of issues as to how this will eventually fail for some people, but what is a better alternative?

Isn’t that why they are partnering with Namecheap, to make the process simple? I do agree with you, I just don’t think it’s really an issue unless having a domain is the only way to have an “identity” on the network. If it’s something you c

We currently see a lot of “reforming” in our higher education here in Denmark. There are likely many reasons for this, one being that it’s one of the areas that’s relatively “free” for politicians to do something with in that there won’t be

Identity management is the biggest issue with social media. I'm on mastodon, but my "identity" is tied directly to the server instance that I'm on. If something happens to that server instance then I'm basically los

How is Google drive more free to use than Dropbox? As soon as you need any sort of storage it’ll cost you money. You can also get some free MBs from Microsoft, Proton and so on, and, Dropbox also has a free tier.

I think you’re both right because the original poster left out competition. It’s one thing to take free back, it’s another thing to do it when people can easily replace your product without paying. Dropbox doesn’t have a competitor that is

Some code writes itself, and I hope generative AI will help with it, but a lot of code doesn’t. Which is likely why generative AI is so terrible at writing good code. Of course that doesn’t mean that generative AI won’t see widespread adopt

Analytics and Business Intelligence in general tend to play a big part in modern enterprise organisations, at least in my experience. Often what happens with corporations is that the larger they grow, the more risk-averse decision makers be

They are disruptive. Basically they draw too much attention and it impacts student learning. Or at least that's the argument. I'm not sure why students were ever allowed to use iPhones during school for anything that wasn't e

I think there are two sides to this. One one hand I agree with you that this isn't an issue for the "general" public. On the other hand I wouldn't be surprised to see centralized platforms like TikTok getting banned, or

I think it will be sort of interesting to see what AI scraping does to the open internet. I think that we are already putting too much content into Social Media platforms (HN included). Stuff that we sort of ought to self host because then
