I'd say the #1 job you have as a parent is to make sure your child feels loved. This will create a sense of self worth, which is the best protection against bad decisions. Some parents get so wrapped up in the steering part that they c

The business records a high number of sales (or high value sales) and hence dirty money can be used as clean incoming money. The high staff numbers indicate either a) staff can accumulate and no-one is really bothered because the normal eco

If anyone wants to know what it was like at the time, for SWEs working anywhere in Nokia's phone division, this post captures it perfectly. People sometimes think that we can see Android was the right route only with hindsight. No, eve

What does 'objective' even mean in this context? This is a post about what the author believes is healthy and positive for individuals and society. I don't see anywhere where contempt is shown, in fact quite the opposite. The

In my experience Clojure teams use high quality Java and JavaScript libraries all the time. It's more often than not a piece of cake. 'Clojure needs a rails' has come up perennially for that last 10 years. I don't disagr

I've been in the Clojure world for over 10 years but I don't really recognise the problem you're calling out here. There will always be libraries in an ecosystem that lack maintainers, particularly if they did not see the hop

Some great deals on .ru these days! Interestingly, .eu, .de and .uk also very cheap, however if you prefer to avoid implying your microsites relate to a specific geography, I guess .top, .cc, .one, .xyz may be better.

Sorry, the last two paragraphs got to me. You need to lighten up, and start trying to understand your fellow man. Small talk is never just small talk. It's a way of starting to understand another human being in some small way. It'

Because XTDB uses a transaction log and document store, it's possible to purge a document from the document store so that the only thing that remains is an irreversibly hashed document id on the transaction log. This isn't crufty.

I do agree that the term feels like a misnomer, but mainly because it gives an air of respectability to simple bad engineering with great cost. The idea is that debt is accrued intentionally and strategically, but everyone is so used to con

To be fair, when writing scripts it's easy to fall foul of differences between GNU and BSD tools, or using an external tool that isn't available by default on some systems. Pure bash solutions avoid these problems, and can be just

I really don't agree. Just look at the history of Disney, and Walt himself. Disney has a history of promoting socially conscious narratives and trying to promote peace and harmony. It's kitsch, but look at the message of 'It&

What is this 'Clojure compatibility' of which you speak? Seriously though, Clojure runs on the JVM so the entire Java ecosystem is available. There are ways to run an external process too of course. I can't really think of an
