Probably no better than today? I certainly am, just perhaps better at communicating that it is a futile pointless guesstimate theatre. At detail and macro project level.

I lived for awhile inside Schengen and enjoyed the near total frictionless border crossing, train, air travel etc. When I later moved back to the UK, I had a faint hope the UK would one day see sense and join Schengen as well, but I am pret

With those inflating costs, maybe a satellite phone becomes economically viable...

Initial comments from the Navy was that they were going back to port (Haakonsvern), but they later corrected that as wrong. They instead admitted the frigate was instead travelling to another part of the NATO exercise and was using the inla

It's fast, but they were on official navigation training exercise as part of NATO's massive Trident Juncture exercise. I would assume higher speed and quicker decisions are a normal part of that type of training. That I think is w

Been a user of DOs beta kubernetes service and it works well. Though I would say the title of the linked article is a bit misleading. It is a Kubernetes as a service, like EKS, GKE and AKS. But not vanilla container service a la ECS, Fargat

Like most, I've been rejected by a few companies. It hurts but it is normal. I've had what I thought was great interviews but not got it, and on the other side been offered jobs after what I thought was a terrible interview. And I

Nooo. Don't take my headphone port from my MBP! In my home office, I have it wired to my simple mixer and amp with which two other computers also connect to. And from that split into my speakers and a pair of headset. All non-digital a

I think the tweet author in the first twitter reply emphasises the importance of culture in your choice of residence versus the arbitrary birth country.

In a similar Guardian article, the treatment course is stated to cost £17,000 GBP. Hopefully available free via NHS soon as I have a daughter with nut allergies. [1] https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/nov&#x2

To be fair to Netflix it was a polite question banner at the top of the screen. Though fairly large and in your face. They did re-prompt a few times, but I have not seen it for a while now. But it caught me off guard as I was not expecting

When Netflix a few months ago prompted me with "Hey your number is a Whatsapp account, do mind if we send notifications via Whatsapp?" I was generally horrified. It felt a serious transgression of my privacy. Though in hindsight I

I don't. Perhaps mostly as I live in a different country. I do have a £5 or 20 note as an emergency money in my bag and £20-40 in some drawers at home. E.g. to buy lunch if I come across a food stall that doesn't accept card payme

The propriety solutions and its near monopoly in both Sweden & Norway (and perhaps other countries) are also due to the slow expansion and adoption of Apple Pay and Google/Android Pay into those countries. Apple Pay was only launch

Yes, not sure what he wanted to achieve with it. A press release may be required but could have just been a more celebratory one, congratulating Red Hat. Sure, point out what similarities and differences Canonical offers with Ubuntu but no

Within the echo chamber of my friends in London most now have a Monzo account. I would say 60% use Monzo. 20% perhaps use similar banks Revolut or Starling (though for some it is because they work for them). And perhaps 20ish% still haven&#

"Pair with people you like, code review people you don't like" Me, some years ago. Not black and white, but less code review is needed if a task was paired on, if at all.

That was "The Heroes of Telemark" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059263/ from 1965 staring Kirk Douglas. Ray Mears documentary from 2003 on the real heroes is excellent. I love Ray Mears. A few years a bi

You can probably argue the same about every part removed, but if you (him) are not going to use it now, remove it. Just dead weight otherwise. You can always add it later if people really need it. True, Swagger docs can be helpful, but also

What I love about my current app-only bank's approach, is that that also includes customer service. I had to speak to them a couple of times, and all the chat is handled inside the app. And dealt with quickly. Love it. With my old high

The justice system will hopefully catch up quickly. But as you say the media (real and social), political propaganda, etc will exploit the uninformed masses for all it is worth, so blackmail will still work. For a while.

Or as my father keeps reminding me, sell/stash half of it. If you can afford to gamble half go for it if you want to, but if it goes all tits up you still can live off half of $X which in this case is a lot $$$!

While technically true, there is not much practical difference. Like on a motorbike I tend to tweak slow speeds with the clutch only and leave the throttle in one position most of the time. With an automatic car since the brakes are not bin

No, that is the point, and mentioned in the article. "-"(Reject/Hard Fail) for SPF is broken and should be avoided. SPF only considers the sender and not the transport and recipient. It does not consider recipients' forw
