I did a contract at HSBC in the past. Some teams are good but there are people who will install things out of the box and leave it.. even in a billion dollar company like HSBC.

I don’t see how one global mongo is going to help solve any of their issues. Maybe they just want to bury their issues under the carpet a little longer. I also hope they’ve configured their mongo correctly since out of the box Config is not

Congrats to Alex and the team. Been super hard work for them and really pleased to see how this is working out!

My relatively recent pet peeve has been ‘UX designers’ (in quotes because I respect the discipline and the many competent practitioners but refer here to the charlatans) that push their narrowly defined views of ‘form’, ‘simplicity’ or ‘mi

I don't live in the Valley but I have been wondering how engineers are going to cope when the supply-demand ratio changes in favour of employers. With the spate of SV layoffs I think we are about to head into challenging times. Now is

Seriously? Take a daily chart, plot a 10d moving average and tell me you can’t make money.

One thing I appreciate these days is the stock market can be disconnected from the realities of the economy and can remain that way for an indefinite period of time. The best way I’ve found to trade is to listen to what the market is tellin

This looks quite good and pricing seems reasonable. I wonder why I’ve not come across it before. Anyone have experience of this vs Electron?

Anyone know what impact this will have on anything that gets in the way of these high-energy microwaves? I’m thinking birds or manned aircraft?

For a long time academics would only publish formulas and results as part of their papers - omitting source code and arguing that ‘the formulas are the only thing that matter’. Perhaps the real reason is the code typically smells of Swiss c

Review by someone claiming to be a ex-Googler here: https://lockdownsceptics.org/code-review-of-fergusons-model/ If the original code was a single file and you’ve ‘fixed bugs’ then what is on GitHub can in NO way be ‘l

I have mixed feelings about this as I do JavaScript transpilers. I’m totally in favour of using transpilers to support older platforms. What has happened though in JS land is developers started using them in reverse - writing to future stan

A $10m/month reduction is quite significant. Question is, was your company spending $10m/month extra unnecessarily or have they had to cut down and go without important things in getting this kind of reduction?

I agree. But within that same batch of people, faced with undeniable first-hand evidence of the severity of something like covid-19 will inexplicably choose to blame 5G antennas. Nutso people are nutso is my only conclusion.

HTTP 101: do not transfer anything you don't want 'cached' as a GET request. Not only that, but some browsers will pre-emptively send GET requests or retry them so you'd have the double headache to worry about duplicate

It does have show and hide methods - but inside the framework it is deeply compositional. If you have a chance to look at the docs search for ‘autoChild’ which achieves much the same as react and co but using different terminology.

I used SmartClient when it was launched in 2002 and that did client-side rendering back then: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SmartClient - I've recently taken the JS version (not GWT) and ported it to a set of ES6

React introduced this concept ‘to you’ perhaps but it wasn’t the first. The framework I used has been doing this in the very early 2000s. Don’t get me wrong it has a lot to like about it - but the only revolution is that Facebook’s might pr

I write a lot of enterprise apps and I’ve seen many many frameworks come and go over the years. I personally am not impressed with React and don’t get what all the fuss is about. We’ve had Angular, jQuery and a whole bunch of stuff over the

Interesting that Amazon seems to rarely acquire competitors. Instead they (slowly) begin to meet their use cases one by one.

Certainly SQL has broader capability then GraphQL. However, there is something about being able to issue a query that returns nested data (e.g. query for invoices and all their line items) that is really great about GraphQL and you cannot

On the one hand - I feel it is totally legitimate that the US take the view that they want a symmetrical arrangement in so far as 'if Chinese firms can access US investors then US firms should be able to access Chinese ones'. On t

WeWork are quite expensive - enough that startups will get their own offices when they reach some stability. So I’m left wondering, WeWork charge a lot and in turn they pay a huge premium for their building leases. How are they NOT making m

Google’s dominant position in the market is enabling it to abuse its position by treating customers unfairly and not as one might be treated if there was more competition. I don’t think it’s spiteful or childish to suggest breaking up a mon

In such stories there’s always a group or person that remains in denial long enough to frustrate the overall objective. I see it in tech when developers often try to tell me there’s no problem until weeks later admitting there is one. Why n

The US govt (well the FTC but its pretty much the 'US Gov' in this situation) has just put a value on your personal and most sensitive data. And its about 5 cents.
