Whiteboards - I still find that no software can beat a room of people and a shared whiteboard for talking through certain things. It’s such a simple yet effective tool for so many things.

M247 are a large UK DC/Network operator, grown through a number of acquisitions. All your seeing here is their large number of data center and connectivity customers, I don’t see anything suspicious.

Similar here, I always wonder how much I should be worried about the imbalance of time spent in the database rather than code. For me it always seems like that much time in the database suggests something is missing from the primary UI&#x2F

Generally I would agree that the better IT professionals are often less social, nature or nurture I wouldn’t like to guess though. I also don’t think it’s limited to our industry, I’ve seen it across most or all that I’ve worked in so far.

The 10% is based around the assets they think might be recoverable if you default - So it’s fair for them to consider all the other companies/debt which will be fighting for a slice of that pie in a default scenario.

Yep from my experiences so far it’s very common, and can be an uphill struggle to inspire change.

Also worked mostly smaller UK places, and so far never had any of them perks, but always had health insurance - Seems it’s fairly random in the UK

We heavily use Grafana - It's not limited to 5 seconds that's just the default they ship it with, edit the template from the UI and it does 1 second without any issues.

I’m assuming you mean personal data, such as family photos? I store onto a local NAS, with offsite DVD-R of the important stuff. Personally I still like writable disks as one copy, you can’t (within reason) hack or accidentally delete somet

You can fairly easily get the current location for a mobile, at least down to a specific country and state. Basically you pretend that your sending an SMS to the device and the home network will return you some data which includes the servi

Was interested in stock trading robots a while ago, just had a look back through your comments/submissions and this seems to be a common theme - Do you have anywhere you write a little more on your experiences in this area, or do you p

The past few years have been really hard with family health. On a similar theme, my fitness could be better, but it's not something that keeps me up at night. Outside of the family/health stuff, I'd say my biggest worry is ac
