My teenage Norwegian mind (not body) did smirk at the runc name. Runk and runc are pronounced the same there and have the same meaning as in Swedish/Finnish... Not offending someone in some language somewhere is hard. I remember Honda

MS HoloLens solves that. If text is clear enough. May be better as an addition to the main screen.

Just no. Their hesitancy to not break backwards compatibility is why Java got so stale. They have gotten better since 1.5 but I would prefer if they broke it more often. JVM however is a different matter.

Unfortunately that title would not be very descriptive why the story is relevant on Hacker News.

That is a good thing. It does not mean that Dynamo and Cassandra are bad choices, but that companies and teams can move onto other solutions when their requirements changes. In an Open Source model just because you invented it does not mean

Im all for it. I moved back to Norway for a few years (2006) and most of the time there I only carried my debit card and no cash. I sometimes had a 200kr note in the same card sleeve for emergencies, but think I only used it once or twice i

Yes. Feedback! Feedback from customers by iterating and releasing early and often. Feedback from the team with proper frequent retrospectives. Projects that I have been part of that skip or mangle retrospectives have all struggled. Listen t

The two biggest political parties in the UK by a country mile will loose power if PR is introduced. So I can't see it happen as they will never back it. Tories managed to successfully seem to offer the people the pretend choice with th

Good way to focus is to pair up. If you sit with someone else you may still chit chat a bit but you are unlikely to check your email, twitter, HN etc as your conscience is likely to make you focus on the task you are both there for. Like po

I think names do trigger a lot of 'random' searches on their own. Whether by profiling by a computer that delegates to the TSA person or by that person if reading the ticket. My father when travelling in the US gets pulled out for

Twitter also recently cut access to their firehose in a similar embrace, extend, extinguish manner (sort of). Only Twitter acquired Gnip can keep using it whilst access has been cut for companies like Datasift. http://www.thereg

The title is not very clear. I only knew it meant web based IDEs as it mentions Cloud9. I can see why some may think it is a question about modern day Dreamweaver.

Does the Three "Feel at home" have any small print? Is the data capped, or throttled? Is the coverage where the free roaming is included limited? It is tempting as it does seem to include the 3 countries I split my year between (U

I know but different people learn and keep up to date in different ways (or not at all) so for me it is not a yes/no criteria on whether they get hired/approved by me. Just another piece of data to evaluate on. And similarly unfor

Asking about favourite computer books is also something I often do in interviews, whether I am the interviewer or interviewee. Partly to find out about if we share a common perception of relevant books but also to find out about books I am

Conventions, not rules, better every time. Though a rule that public services should at least state that the data is not sensitive and not needing https is probably a good idea to force people to at least think about it. But we should encou

Agree, though I like the Silicon Roundabout name more. The Tech City name to me seems like a government idea, sort of Information Superhighway.... With finding money it is good that Shoreditch is right next to the City (of London, not Londo

I am sure there may be one but I don't quite see any reason for running Docker inside a Windows VM in AWS? Run Docker with ECS or with Machine with EC2, or any native linux VMs. Adding another abstraction layer seems pointless. Unless

I think the distinction is clear. How you would swap in other tools not so clear. With these updates I will have to update my own howto on how to use all 3 tools (4 with with the 'Engine') http://flurdy.com/docs&#x

True, a personal development server(s) may offload my needs but remote servers don't work well when offline a lot, or intermittently offline on my long commute by train. Not having the full stack locally is usually very frustrating. Wh
