Who benefits from anti-vaccination or flat-earth? Conspiracy theories are probably a lucrative industry if you get enough of a following.

Our national implementation of the GDPR for the public sector prohibits cross-sectoral access to citizen data. So while our teachers/nurses could legally use ML for planning as they have a legal right to use the data for planning, our

Do you trust your government more than Microsoft? That’s what I meant to say, but I should certainly have voiced what I meant better.

Making sure the right staff gets to the right citizens at the right time is a massive undertaking. It’s where 60-80% of our staff works. We have something like 1200 teachers out of 7000 employees for instance. It’s also an area that’s subje

People like to say that, but it does. Each member state has had to adopt the GDPR into their national legal system, it’s true that it’s called various things. In Denmark where I’m from we call it Persondataloven, but for all intends and pur

I think we went in the wrong direction in terms of public data. It really isn’t in my best interest as a citizen that our public sector can’t use my data to run more effective, spot health issues sooner or perform city planning based on cit

Typically I’d agree, if I was seated next to a window I’d be looking outside. That’s often how I get my best ideas, but the bathroom is just too boring. Especially because it’s the same bathroom I look at every day. I sit on folding seats i

Aren’t they supposed to be toys? I mean, I need a smartphone for e-mail and maps, but I don’t need something that’s more powerful than an iPhone 5 for that, and yet I’m typing this on an iPhone XS while I’m on my commute to work (election p

My cat still has her account. Granted, she’s not posting political bullshit or trolling. In fact she hasn’t even logged in for something like five years, but she obviously didn’t setup the account herself.

It wasn’t for me, so I went into public service and the management/business focused side of digitalisation. The pay isn’t great, but we do get opportunities to work with cutting edge tech because every change doesn’t need to be billed

I wonder how this is legal. I work for a Danish municipality and we once used WiFi tracking to help us build a better inner city. The data were wiped of any identifying features, because we really didn’t care who went were, we just wanted t

I think it’s mostly still business, but a lot of the things I do business wise correlate with a lot of things I do personally, so it blends together rather nice. Now I prefer the mix, I can certainly understand people who prefer the separat

When you say gmail, do you mean gmail or g-suite? Because my gmail gets a lot of spam, but my g-suite doesn’t.

Is modern PHP really that bad? I kind of think it makes a lot of sense in a world where almost everything, even major government IT systems, are basically java/.net on the backend and some JavaScript MVVM framework on the client. I kno

Spam, I got a lot of it on fastmail and even though I kept flagging it as spam, it kept coming. The mobile client, I really like the gmail iOS client. I think fastmail was better than the native iOS mail client, but I just really like the g

I use gmail and I value privacy, I pay for g-suite though. I tried all of them, fastmail, protonmail, tutanota, Runbox and a few others, and none of them came close to using gmail. So I figured, what the hell, g-suite is around the same pri

I think you can ask yourself that question with a lot of Microsoft products these days, and we use (and like) a lot of them at my place if business. I mean Microsoft has the upper hand compared to Google or AWS because they are better at GD

Couldn’t you setup a g-suite profile, and use that? I mean it would cost you money, but I’m not sure where you can find privacy and ownership for free these days.

If you edit comments you’ve made, people can sometimes click them to see the previous versions. So I wouldn’t be too sure about that.

Start looking at the people you speak with and listen to what they have to say. This may sound silly, but you’re likely not doing it right now because you focus too much on what you think they think about you. You need to switch that extern

Is fixing Wordpress really bottom-tier programming jobs? I know people who do that as freelance consultants, and they have a lot of freedom in their lives. Compare that to some enterprise developers who get hired right out of the university

I’m not sure if it’s just me, but as I’ve gotten older I’ve played a lot less games. Some of it is time, I have less of it and a family who wants it, but some of it is the lack of recommendations. There is a sea of terrible games, and that’

I actually personally think all public software should be open source so citizens can have access to what they pay for. It’s a tough sell though, because of how massive of an undertaking it is. We simply have too much software that only run

That is not really a counter point though. I mean, education is part of a municipality, it makes up around 15% of our work force, and you’re right, they could probably be switched to Linux. That doesn’t really make sense though, because our

by jaabe 7y ago
As someone who likes Linux and genuinely believe that software that was paid for by the public should be open source, I just have to ask you why that is. I work in a Danish municipality with 100.000 citizens. We operate more than 300 IT sys

It’s several times more complicated to build business logic on both the front and the backend. It’s several times more complicated to debug something that runs on the clients device than something that runs on your server.

That was my thought as well. I live in Denmark, I think ALDI is one of our least efficient supermarket chains which is why they’ve had to fill the niche of low-quality-low-price. I never knew American supermarkets were so terrible. I mean,

There is too much copy pasting in web-development. I mean, we still use the MVC pattern to run almost all our web-apps because the MVVM pattern would require us to hire additional developers to do the same thing. Between Ajax and JQuery we

One of my old friends has been working with php since forever, we’ve teased him over the years. Since then we’ve moved to a world where every program is web-based. I mean, even huge enterprise systems in healthcare run on some JavaScript MV

I don’t mean to be rude, but why do you need 7 servers for a project that isn’t making you any money? Couldn’t you start with less, and then scale when you need to?
