I work for a Danish municipality that co-operates a number of open source projects with other muniplacities. I know we’re a niche of sorts, but the setup we apply is to find small local development houses who can build and maintain our code

This is exactly what I don’t get though, how can you get away with extortion by writing it in lawyer tongue?

I’m not American, and maybe I just don’t know enough about your legal system or this Bezos thing, but I just can’t wrap my head around it. How could he not? How can attempted blackmail with someones private, and, stolen photos not be illega

Robotic Process Automation, and the headache that’ll arrive with it because it’s basically building technical depth directly on top of legacy systems. In the European public and banking sectors we can’t hire enough people to meet the demand

Weekendavisen, it’s a Danish paper though.

I buy the bit about being critical about what news we consume, but I just don’t see a complete avoidance of news as being a good solution. To me, not reading news would remove more value from my life than reading too much. My personal fix f

I minored in history, maybe I didn’t pay enough attention to it, but I can’t think of a period where we’ve been more free than we are now. Not even 10 years ago. We live in a time where you can frankly do anything you want if you’re born in

I’d like to say you had a fair point, but what is the “right” option? There is a reason I outlined environmental and repairability as two separate things because unfortunately there isn’t always a correlation between the two. It’s sad but s

And do what? I’ve used Linux as my sole OS for a couple of years and it was a terrible user experience where I spent way too much of my time trying to get things to work. This was before I bought a 4K monitor, so it wasn’t even as intolerab

One of my social groups made our own personal space for organising events and after 6 months we went back to Facebook because every other social group didn’t leave. So you get a new platform, but if you only do one event every few months th

I think the article has a point, but I'm not convinced the fun and weird stuff really went away. Social media probably had a pretty big impact on people losing ownership over their online presence, but often I think it's just hard

Europol just shut down a site where you could buy DDOS attacks and as a result 150.000 people who had done so were targeted by police[1]. DDOSing has been a scourge. I work in the public sector of Denmark and we see then from time to time,

Last week, or maybe the week before it, I read an article called “the death of snow” in a Danish newspaper called weekendavisen. It bluntly stated that we might need to get used to the idea of being the only Scandinavian country without sno

I don’t know a single manager or leading figure in management who isn’t utilizing LinkedIn. It’s used for recruitment, idea-sharing, networking, following and genuine discussion. I fully understand how that can go unnoticed, because I didn’

Is 30 old? I work with enterprise architecture in the public sector of Scandinavia, sometimes on a national strategic level. It’s rather rare for anyone under 30 to make valuable contributions. It’s not unheard of, but it’s rather rare. Mo

It’s not made by EU politicians, it’s made by a combination of lawyers, engineers and public administration majors. In many ways the EU is a functioning technocracy, and if you ever read through the actual EU documents it shows. They are al

With Britain leaving the EU there is sadly a lot less reason for English to be the official language.

I think I feel the same disenchantment from Apple that the author does, and it really scares me. Because the responses to this piece are basically 220 reasons of why I’ll probably never switch. Don’t get me wrong, I want to like Linux, I ju

Maybe it started that way, but I personally buy into the old Jobs view on Apple as a software company. I do this because I myself primarily buy Apple products for their software. It’s anecdotal of course, but I own a MacBook Pro because I l

I think you’re on to the core of the problem. Apple is a software company that build its own hardware because it had to. But for the past decade, they haven’t really made any interesting software. iOS is great for iPhones, it’s not great fo

Interesting scenarios you line up, it's not how I see it though. The public sector of Denmark has been downsizing everything by 1-2% a year for almost two decades, so it is actually the low-level employees who needed this because they

I think this is an interesting article, though not from a CS point of view. Basically my take away can be boiled down to the brilliantly put “Most of us, most of the time, are following instructions delivered to us by computers rather than

You’re likely not alone, we seldom are, but in my anecdotal point of view most people seem to like it. I personally doubt it’ll be the “next” thing though. For one it’s already here. It’s not perfect but it works most of the time, and unles

I work in the public sector of Denmark, and I’d recommend doing this. The companies who hire actual domain knowledge and listens to it are simply miles ahead on making software that doesn’t suck for the end-users. It would be better if we a

I work in the public sector of Denmark, we’ve spent the past 15 years trying to get some cross-sectoral standards up and running. We’re getting there on data services as well as authentication and indexes of data, and that means we’re start

When we know the project is going to see a lot of end-users that'll need their own "profile" styled page and/or if we know we'll see a lot of database changes over time. Which hasn't been a lot of times yet, if

My team started being more serious about our switching from .NET to a mix of Django, Flask and Vue.js this year, so I've been focusing on those. I personally played around with GraphQL (Apollo, Yoga and Graphene) for a while, but ultim

Most workplaces operate on a high amount of trust though, especially in Western Europe. If you’ve achieved star-reporter status at der Spiegel, as such that you’re sent 3 weeks to America to do investigative journalism, it goes to reason, t

I read it to see what all the fuss was about, and I can see why it would get controversial reviews. I don’t think it comes off as sexist or right-wing in the big picture, in fact it seems like an extremely old fashioned self-help book found
