This is slowly changing IMO - I'm seeing concern over energy use even on forums discussing high end hardware builds as cost of energy mounts in Europe. Previously no one really ever mentioned this other than to laugh at poor thermals.

I'm not sure you can have this conversation in many medium to large sized organizations anymore. We retired our last SVN, Mercurial and Perforce repo years ago and migrated them to git; there is a new generation of software engineer in

I'm actually using HifiBerry! They provide a great OS built in partnership with B&O that supports Spotify/Airplay with their devices out of the box: https://www.hifiberry.com/hifiberryos/

I just recently encountered some trouble with this domain the other day. I was trying to port a video project from an intel system that was using their QuickSync solution for hardware h.264 decode to a Raspberry Pi 4 using the V4L2 hardware

While those are of course valid concerns, I don't think it even enters into the decision making process for most when considering booze vs weed in a state with legal dispensaries. The likelihood of either of these happening in states l

You don't even need a graphical user interface, a web browser or the official Spotify app to accomplish this either - you can use open source projects that use the official Spotify API to create an extra Spotify speaker you can control

In my experience, most halfway respectable companies already do? 500 bucks is IMO on the low side for an employee referral in the US if it's for software engineering... the amount of money you save the hiring team alone in recruiting e

Not only have I seen this several times, I've also encountered multiple instances of "over-employed" software engineers, who are doing 2-3 full time salaried positions from home, at the same time. This is surprisingly easy to

It was also a business for which the writing was very clearly on the wall. How many companies are left that still sell a SaaS/PaaS that requires you to install bespoke on-prem server hardware? I'm guessing its a much smaller lis

In part, I think development of containers for software has meant its much, much easier today to automate packaging/deployment of web apps in easy to deploy containers that work natively on all the major VPS providers, not just Heroku.

The paid version (nginx plus) has a few additional features that you often end up needing/wanting (the dashboard for example, for ops users) in enterprise environments. For what its worth, I switched from nginx to Caddy years ago and h

Green card quotas are based entirely on your country of birth. For example, a UK citizen can obtain a green card far, far faster than an Indian citizen. If a UK citizen and Indian citizen on an H1B visa start the Green Card process at the s

This is frankly a ludicrous ask of a 35 dollar hobbyist single board education computer with an old CPU. I hate the dreaded car analogies too, but this is akin to buying a cheap Toyota saloon and expecting it to accelerate like a Ferrari. F

The problem with overly simplistic comparisons like these is they gloss over real problems on both sides. The average life expectancy in Scotland for example is just ~61 - the UK average is a third more! So it's clearly more than just

In what circumstance does Copilot allow you to not hire a junior dev? I like Copilot and find value in it at 10 dollars a month, but that's a dubious claim IMO. What Copilot does only really assists a human operator, and not in a way t

Maybe the site is a spec, intended as input for a copilot like code-generation system that will then build the actual product? /s Seriously though, this has made my day - the gall to ask for donations and sell merch for vaporware as we

It's of course monetization. Everyone jumped on giving away their content via RSS/public APIs in the early rush to web2.0 style standards, then of course retreated from that position when it became clear directing eyeballs to the

Your mileage may vary, but I only ever wanted RSS feeds that provide the actual article content. Just spitting out a feed of links back to the site with headlines is not how I or many others used RSS and RSS readers wayback when. Full artic

In my experience, RSS isn't close to the level of widespread high quality support it had in the early "web2.0" days on the server side - picking an RSS client even with the demise of Google Reader hasn't been my issue wi
