Is there a new license in use that allows fairly open use but not as a for-profit SAAS? Is that what SSPL tried to do? For years I hoped the LAGPL (Lesser Affero GPL) would turn popular. [1] But I guess it needs a bigger organisation behind

I am ok with recruitment companies organising meetups. But mostly as it is in their interest to attract plenty of relevant people to the meetups over and over again. So it is a fine balance between good talks, and how much they will adverti

As a Norwegian that worked abroad, then back in Norway for 6 years before going abroad again, one thing I do not miss from Norway is the work lunches. God that was depressing, and stressful. The mad rush to the compulsory office canteen, bu

So... Don't be a one-trick pony? Duh, quite obvious, diversification is what all companies desire, but most just try and milk the golden goose for as long as possible. Until it is too late. It does astonish me though when every year I

Until we figure out better alternatives to plastic (or rather are more incentivised to use alternatives), and other by-products, then we will be stuck with our total dependence on petrochemicals. True, more use of EVs will reduce oil demand

If it is public knowledge, then fraud becomes very hard. Also part of the egalitarian society that everyone should more or less earn the same, and nothing should be secret (at least to the gov). That all your income and assets are automatic

Though I have to admit my helicopter-parent side is considering an Xplora for my kids. If it gets better battery life (2-5 days currently). An Apple Watch is out of the question. https://go.myxplora.co.uk/about/

A few years before the Ferranti Mark 1, Turing was involved with the programs for the Mark 1's predecessor: Baby (1948) [1], the worlds first stored-program computer, which as you mentioned was based on his Turing Machine (1936). I lea

A mail server is hard. Writing applications is hard. Designing a website is hard. Professional work is hard. But setting up your initial mail server is not hard. Read some guides (ahem: https://flurdy.com/docs/postfix )

My take on this map is perhaps easier to judge by what is acceptable and common to have at lunch when at work or with family. Would a glass of wine at lunch seem odd? Would a beer with your lunchtime burger seem out of place? Would a glass
