This. Recently I had to send my phone away for repairs, and as instructed, they told me to reset the phone to factory defaults before mailing them the device. I forgot about Google Authenticator during this process so ended up having to res

At work we use Slack, at least on the engineering side of the organisation. Not sure on the concrete numbers but I'd hazard a guess that we have 1000+ users on there. There is Yammer too, but I've never seen anyone use it.

I quite like type inference in typed languages (e.g. Go, Kotlin etc), and when I read about it coming to Java I wasn't that fussed, just saw it as a nice to have. It didn't occur to me before I read this post that the complex, cha

This brings back memories, the days when geocities, and software like frontpage and dreamweaver were a thing. Most personal websites were exactly like this, word art, silly animated GIFs, "under construction" images, the author be

The thing about code reading for me is you have to have decent tooling. It's pointless reading code in Github, especially for a codebase you are not familiar with, you need to get the codebase open in an IDE to be able to dive in quick

AWS has a solution that awkwardly tucked under the "SSM" product, it's called the Parameter Store. https://aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/features/#Parameter_S... I really don't know why they d

So from the anecdotes in this thread, along with some people suggesting Apple use AWS/GCP/Azure for things.... I'm wondering if this is a capacity thing, or maybe a locality thing? It would make sense to use the cloud provide

I'm of the same opinion, I'd be happy to kick $2-$3 a month for 100GB of storage to Dropbox. However I don't think storage is really their concern, their product is the syncing capability, the apps on all devices, Dropbox Pap

I use Google Drive, but I'd switch to Dropbox in a flash if they offered 100GB pricing package. Mainly because I find the Dropbox app more reliable and syncs quicker than GD. I've had Google Drive or "Backup and Sync" or

Anyone know of any maintained Docker images for this? I'm not a fan of pip etc and prefer to isolate my notebooks in a docker container. EDIT: never mind, you can run it using the official images by executing `start.sh jupyter lab`

I'm quite an anxious person and even just the thought of cycling in London puts me off it. I've looked at the route map and most of it is on incredibly busy roads, including Henleys Corner ( https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2F

It's a tough one. I've been an Amazon Prime customer for a few years now and notice my buying habits centralise further and further on Amazon. The main "selling point" for me, and this is where Amazon's dominance pr

It's great but at the same time, fixes and tweaks like this are only going to really be used by savvy users. The majority won't notice the change I reckon.

This sounds similar to the "faster payments" system we have here in the UK, where most transfers should clear within 2 hours (in my experience they actually clear in a matter of minutes, but I guess they say '2 hours' to

I bought a Nokia 3 a few months ago as a backup phone when my OnePlus-3T had to go in for repairs. Really nice little phone I thought, perfectly servicable for light usage and felt nice to hold. A bargain for the £100 or so that I paid for

A nice boost for employment statistics fans I guess. What I don't understand is how things got to this point without the electorate making a stand? Or do the people who vote send their kids to private school instead?

tbh you'll find a similar culture of casual dress in the UK too, depending on what industry you are in. Corporate IT and finance companies can mostly be "business casual", but venture into the media/creative industries,
