Apple really have an enviable position like few hardware companies before them: when there’s a demand anomaly they can just ask their suppliers to turn the dials. Apple in this regard doesn’t have to worry so much about keeping factories ru

Ok, I read through the github wiki and everything I could find - pretty comprehensive stuff. Currently chunking my way through the phd paper. I created something similar to this but wholly in-memory in JavaScript for a client project. My i

I’ve been looking for something like this for a while for a project I had in mind. I’m going to spend the weekend looking into this and will be providing feedback after.

The commenters saying GS could just withdraw from Malaysia to sidestep any repercussions are mistaken. First, US prosecutors are also investigating this (and ironically so is the Federal Reserve). Now US banks might get soft glove treatmen

The points you make are valid but I would point out that building and bringing commercial software to market is capital intensive. Good luck building software, testing it, writing documentation, producing a go to market strategy and executi

Agreed. More likely that management will say ‘don’t use that dependency’ or ‘we will write our own from scratch’

Fantastic progress! Going to China soon and was wondering if anyone has tried if this works through the GFW?

No real surprise - a lot of Java underpins AWS and a lot of enterprise customers that Amazon covet are Java shops. Keeping everyone happy for the sake of profit and market share. Only loser is Oracle who were a loser before so no change for

We had same issue with Ext. We took a separate route to solve the same problem. Hacking around with the DOM is just not fun - and back then every browser had its own set of quirks. Personally the approach you took probably required as many

For example - take a grid like this one: https://www.smartclient.com/smartclient/showcase/?id=gridHea... Now right-click on the grid headers and change the grouping, add a frozen column. How many unit tests is th

There is a gwt version but I’ve never used it. Yes in some cases we had lots of test cases. But that’s just a result of the sophistication afforded to us. Yes SPAs enable the sophistication but citing that as a weakness is like claiming tha

I have done enterprise stuff for about 20 years too. On the web side I discovered smartclient.com in 2008 and haven’t looked back. And yes I’ve had the IE11 on Citrix experience also :( It’s an SPA, fantastic documentation, customers love

Good to see interest in this space brewing. I used to use OrientDB but moved away due to stability issues (long ago now so hopefully they have that sorted). I also just noticed they’ve been acquired by SAP! For me graph layouts are conceptu

RH are good at a LOT of things but sales remains a bit of a weak point compared to Oracle and to a lesser degree IBM. Hopefully the RH guys can bring back a focus on technology to IBM while IBM figure out how to sell it to customers. PS: so

Ay ay ay... if this is true then everything from RH is gonna get fatter, slower and more expensive. Add a bit of WebSphere here, a bit of Domino there and voila. It'll then be ready for 'resource action' (aka layoffs). Jokes

Everybody’s known this regime is dirty for decades now. Worst case is they replace MBS because he’s so tainted and draw a line under this incident. They can go back to dropping American and European munitions on school kids in Yemen and the

Well private just means it’s isolated from other networks - it doesn’t mean that your ‘private’ network can’t be snooped (by Hetzner, hackers, etc.) We’re experimenting with Wireguard on all internal hosts and disabling SSL.

Maybe.. but this is a VERY sophisticated data migration utility. It going wrong can mean crippled data! I am certain /some/ code must exist to allow the authors to verify it does what they want so my question is more: where is it?

I looked at DataFixerUpper - should I be surprised that there appears not to exist even a single test for this piece of engineering? Boggles my mind that someone would engineer something so sophisticated and not write even a high-level test

2nd solid post today and despite being familiar with the concepts I don’t understand any of the detail. Marketing spiel is fine but somewhere concrete details need to be provided without the BS. Very disappointing that Tim Berners-Lee would

Here in the UK I’ve noticed that Amex is not accepted by a lot of smaller businesses. When I ask why I’m told it’s because their fees are 4-5% - higher than both Mastercard and Visa. The thing is reward credit cards really feel like the ban

US companies go into China eyes wide open - they can extract a few quarters of profit from their products and services but that's it; the Chinese will then expect to do it themselves and keep all the profits to themselves. To most its

Honestly at this point I wonder how much there is between what US agents can do with a FISA warrant and what Chinese agents can do with their surveillance - if there is a difference it’ll be pretty small I imagine. I’m not trying to justify
