The vaccines do work on variants [0] with different degrees of efficacy. This actually demonstrates that the virus - after infecting millions of people over a year - hasn't significantly changed the spike protein. Also: major changes

Glad to help, I have been in your spot; until you get the structure in place just make sure that the team is in agreement on the response. I always believe in good faith and positive intent - call me naive - so I assume the managers have th

First: discuss with your development team the issue, make sure you get buy-in on replying to management with one voice. A.K.A.: avoiding you saying "We can't do X" and someone else goes: "Of course we can!". Second:

I think if I had to start new project based on Java I would definitely have Micronaut [0] on my shortlist. I have used it in small personal projects and I have to say that it was a nice change of pace compared to Spring Boot. My understandi

Something about the statement 'So inequality is not the problem, poverty is the problem' is wrong. I can't quite put my finger on it -- it sounds along the lines of 'So falling from the 20th floor is not the problem, hit

OK - I didn't want to be 'that guy', but here I go: DevRant is garbage! I like the concept, but the execution is a marketing black hole. First of all: the linked page doesn't scroll on an iPad - they are trying to be cle

This ring using old 'pay for documents' spy techniques was found by old investigation techniques. Some times we are so focused in the 'cyber warfare' that we forget the meeting in parking lots handing over SD cards part

Pet peeve of mine: "Trust but verify" is an oxymoron. If you "trust" someone/something you don't need to verify. I understand the sentiment, but it's based on a faulty assumption that trust is a binary sta

The March Android update broke third party wireless charging for Pixel phones. This has to do with a 'fix' for a battery management bug introduced by Android 11 on some of the newer Pixels. It took me a while to figure out it was

In some stores you can tap your card before the transaction is completed, once the receipt is 'closed' the payment terminal will receive the final amount and use the authorized session to complete the payment. You can also simply

This! I have been trying to switch to VS Code for dotnet core projects, wanting to ditch Visual Studio. It's clear that Microsoft is - willingly? - keeping VS Code an arm and a leg away from being close to Visual Studio. Refactoring is

In my head when I tell a client that a project/job is X hours it means that that is the market value in hours for that project. There is an old Italian story - I'm sure it's common in other places - about a TV repairman that

So it's my damned writing style to start paragraphs with spaces that's biting me in the rear! I tend to do that to format a bit the content, but it seems to collide with the markdown. Thanks for the heads up, will make sure I won

I have to push back against the 'process' too often to care to count. The idea of the self managed team shatters against the rocks of: there is no card on the board for this so I can't do it, which produces boards filled

The verdict is in: running analytics in the petabyte order is cheaper and faster in the cloud than on prem. Or, is it? This article seems to be a combo hit-job/promotional material, but it's a nice way to introduce a conversation

This is odd - I am not using code blocks, I am just typing in the text box to reply. I thought it looked like code as a way of showing my comments. I really don't know why it happens, I will look and see if it's somewhere in

Well - not really, the common part between sono s and sono bus is the latin root [0] sono . Are we saying that now none can use sono as prefix for things relating to sound? [0]( https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sono-

I have seen this repeated in this thread several times - had to look it up, turns out it's BS. There has been one frame recall - in 2008, for cars made between 1994 and 2004 - including the Tacoma and the 4Runners and Toyota exten

I'll give you one: David Patrick Underwood, May 29th. But that's not the point. The point is: even if you count all of the deaths related to all the events around BLM protests - 19 [1] - these were over 7 months of protes
