Hard disagree. A prominent 'meet the team', complete with smiling, rounded, portrait photos will usually make me close the tab. The fact that there is a tutorial and pricing prominent in the menu, makes this better than 80% of lan

A large part of my job is writing custom logic for an enterprise application with much-touted "no-code" facilities. You _always_ need code. Some customers don't need much, but they all need _some_. The first example that come

GDPR has an actual archive exception to the "right to be forgotten", art. 17, §3d [0]. IANAL, so I don't want to say if it covers this archival, but I would hope so. 0: https://gdpr-info.eu/art-17-gdpr/

CSV is fairly OK if you just ignore Excel. Unfortunately, if you're working with others, they won't let you ignore Excel.

I guess I didn't make myself clear either. If there's an inner join, then there is a matching row. It will be counted by a normal COUNT( * ). On an outer join, columns in a 'missing' row will be represented as NULL. You&

I'm sorry, if you want to count NULL-rows in b.* , how will it ever be different from just COUNT( * )? Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're after?

I doubt those exceptions cover spying on behalf of a third party who is not party to the GDPR.

Well, it's the government that keeps health data sort of confidential now. If the government stops caring about that, I doubt private companies would step up. If you have to trust the government on this anyway, cutting private insurers

... and this is so wonderful! It's in no way worse than the ternary operator. You punt to a default value really easily, without having 20 lines of `if (a.this == null) a.this == 0; if(a.that == null)a.that == ""` or similar.

GM rice would also make sustenance farmers dependent on handouts, since they're not allowed to keep and re-plant seeds, but compelled to buy new seeds from the rights holders every season.

Can they refine diesel and build an air compressor themselves? And I mean in practice, not theoretically.

I use visual block mode editing quite a lot. I can't imagine that works well with a variable-width font.

I see that too - but I also see plenty of completely un-testable code, because the controller constantly reads from AppSettings, or creates a new database connection directly, or similar issues. For small applications, instead of going full

You can mock classes with virtual methods/properties. I prefer making interfaces instead, though. I find it useful to make the boundaries between components explicit.

I love it every time I get the 'old' control panel. It means I know where the switches are, and more importantly, what they do. The new UIs change with every minor update. Layout, labels and semantics. It's truly horrible. Pl

Spotify are masters at hiding information. The only way to actually see full track names or artist lists is to wait for it to scroll by in the 'currently playing' view - you can't see the full name of the song before you play

You can still use QWidgets, which is more similar to VCL. There are third-party components (for example the open-source Qwt [0]), but probably fewer than you find for VCL :) 0: https://qwt.sourceforge.io/

This is the same system I'm talking about. You can use your smartphone and a PIN, or you can get a hardware dongle. Same authentication API from the banks POV.

The phone 2fa app asks you to verify the action, and you input your PIN. My banks hardware token also needs a PIN before it generates a one-time code. Some bank tokens just give you the code when you press a button, though. Those, you have

I keep getting astonished by how bad online banking security is in the UK and US. Here in scandiavia, we've had hardware tokens (or phone apps) to offer 2fa for ages. And you need a new token for every transaction. In addition to the p

Yes, I meant the OSI. Yes, it doesn't fit either definition, so it shouldn't be called either. The term 'free software' is hard to keep 'pure', because it has an obvious meaning for people who know nothing abou

The term "open source" was afaik invented by the people who would form the "open source consortium". If you're not going by their definition, I think you're just wrong.

The court believes that EU doesn't have the right to tell it's members that they _can't_ do that. It does _not_ say that it makes any sense for a EU state to do this. As I understand the issue. I might have misunderstood.

ML seems to be a much more developer-friendly approach to me. Eager evaluation, no problem "escaping" to imperative code, no "purity". All the benefits of functional programming, a good type system, and a great module sy
