1 team supporting multiple services is not great, but a monolith with more than 50 developers working on it (no matter how you split your teams) isn't great either. That's why I don't like the term "microservice", a

No I didn't. I know how layoffs works in America because I've been laid off in America.

I can't talk about the Netherlands but if it's like France: the process is very different in the case of layoffs, where you want to reduce the workforce for economical reasons (e.g. shrinking revenues), and firing an individual em

In France you can't layoff people on the spot, there is a 3 months notice. And I've yet to hear about employees going rogue. Maybe in US laid off employees can go rogue because they're treated like shit in the process?

No, it depends how long you stay in the house. If you stay long enough, buying is cheaper. But if you move after just a few years, you'll have mostly paid interests on your mortgage, you had closing tax, your house may even have lost v

Yes, I also tried it on Android to see if it's worth jailbreaking my kindle and honestly the UI is a bit of a mess. It takes a lot of tweaks to get a nice looking layout to start with, out of the box it's just tiny text filling th

I guess we have so many devices nowadays, there is no point into turning an e-reader into a generic computer. I have at least 3 RPi lying around in my home, if I want to tinker that's what I will use.

Europe is a big continent with very different countries. Whether you're talking about UK, Norway, France, Poland, Switzerland, Italy, etc. that's a completely different story for each.

I would be surprised if older joycons can't be paired via BT. There are already alternative ways to charge them, either charging stations or charging grip.
