The old version yes - but it has gotten worse and worse over the years unfortunately.

If tech heads valued convenience enough we would see some solutions in the space. Instead they spend their free spare time on a million other things - and that is okay. But they really shouldn't be surprised when non tech people use Di

Developers are in fact a cog in the machine. They do not define or even have possibility to define the overall process that should counter this. Some times they don't even know the scope of the use of what they are working on. That is

The only place there is a failure here is on the management level on both sides. Any kind of certification in this space have you have the following for developing core functionality regarding financial data: * Proper definition of hard req

We cannot let anecdotal evidence dictate anything. You're free to not get the vaccine, but at large we cannot base any recommendations on "I know someone that ..." stories. Most of the western world has free health care and p

This is not new to social media, but it has made it pervasive.

I think one of the things that "old school" people completely miss, is convenience. Your examples of Discord and Dropbox are two very good examples of that. They just work. They work on workstation and mobile devices alike. I tota

There is two sides to Netflix. One is the content side, which is much like HBO, and the other side is the infrastructure side, which without a doubt is a tech company. They could contract out their infrastructure and they would surely not b

That is a really clever solution.

Considering that some cars can change how much the wheels turn based on the speed you're driving, we know it must have been approved for road use.

If you are unable to recite 7x6 and reach for the calculator for it, I don't think many people will memorize it. I did the same, up to 20. I've used it so much since then that even though it seemed silly at the time of learning, i

We're at a point where you can have your coins on a hardware wallet, and have a simple route into an proper exchange with the possibility to pay fiat to your bank account. Documenting this and updating it yearly is not that much extra

That is quite a odd failure. Have you by any chance done some research on why it happened?

Quite the opposite for me. As a child I grew up in a "small" town of 30-40.000 I think, I would go to the store to see what was new including computers, I would swing by the local cinema to see what was coming. I don't recall

Before advertising was as widespread and exploited as it is today, people build businesses around service, quality, worth of mouth and recommendations. That resulted in some truly great things, and it seems that with advertising we've

True, I was thinking about density. Unfortunately weight to size for an EV is complicated and more weight is not good.

It's cheaper but with less capacity, so I guess it's alright for the second car that is strictly used for commuting.

It's because they value short term gain over long term gain and stability. I see it all the time in software development too.

Nice straw man. But I'll go with it for no other reason that I hope no one believes in that absurdity as an argument against planning for component supply issues. Issues that businesses have experienced time and time again since we beg

If you're that dependent on components that there is no replacement for, then perhaps buy enough stock to last you through a redesign and recertification is in order. Having a contingency plan for such scenarios seems like a no brainer

That is all well and good until the day you need to it to return two different results depending on which context its running in. Relying on fixed global state is asking for trouble down the line if it's something that will be evolved

Docker has become synonymous with OCI images, and my comment was exactly in that context (or at least state of mind) - I should have stated that as well.

by hvidgaard 5y ago
Docker can be considered a deployment tool. You package your application in an image and run said image. Development and test of that application does not have to be in a docker image.

I usually propose a rather simple, albeit not cheap, experiment for this. 1. Find a sufficiently large "shallow" body of water. 2. Build a number a number of masts/poles in a straight line, all with an identical height over t

Not the comment you replied to, but the parent comment. I agree with what you said, but I wanted to put in the context of what I wrote. Unless your windows and doors have actual anti burglar features, the lock doesn't matter at all. A

For the majority of applications, locks are for "keeping honest people honest". With the right tools most locks take seconds to circumvent, think breaking a window, cutting the steel, drilling out the lock. For situations where it

Of course it's simple to do for every app. But they have to keep that database updated. Either by running a service and listening to all changes to the file system or by running it from scratch every so often. Neither is a good idea fr

You don't need the relational aspect per se, but if you have indexes by filename, filetype, creation date and size (which I do not find unreasonable). It becomes trivially fast to ask the question: > Give me all image files > 100

I would see it more as a different and better way to store the same and additional information. In a RDBMS an index is already storing references in a tree format. If you map that to files and folders you now have basically the same thing a

The Russians cold war era rockets was so far ahead of anything USA produced that old rockets from that time is still being bought up used today.
