GDPR is a set of regulations which are far easier to follow from the start than attempt to deal with after being in business for 20 years without having to consider. The core of complying with GDPR are that you can provide a customer with a

Did I seriously just read through the very worst kind of fiction, business process fiction, just to be bait and switched with an ad for something that isn’t actually Kafka? I don’t even use Kafka or Kubernetes but I thought this might be an

In practice I wouldn't expect many devices to have lockdown mode turned on, and the people who are turning it on probably aren't also using the same device to play Fruit Ninja in a browser. This is a feature explicitly designed fo

The Erlang VM is built around message passing, so in the case of a dropped database connection your application code would pass a message to the database API asking for the results of a SQL query. The database API is currently trying to rec

I'd never heard of this, and sadly its US only, but I'm really curious now. Does this make videos accessible on all platforms, or is it yet another video player I need installed everywhere that than lets me play back video I bough

The immediate gains I can see are: * In-house development teams have more agility in standing up new services, since they can just use EC2/ECS/one of the other 1500 container runtimes AWS has, rather than having to wait for someon

There is a plot to the John Wick movies, it's just not very deep. The plot can largely be summarised as "Wick was an assassin, but gave it up because his wife died, then some Bad People killed his dog. Wick is very upset by that,

I rewatched The Longest Day last night, and appreciated much the same things in that. It's an action movie in a completely different style to something more modern, with some spectacularly long shots, and very little exposition. I was

I’m curious whether this is a time perception thing, or very specialised thought processes. If I were to take an F1 driver and put them in front a cricket bowler would they be able to spot the spin on a ball? Can a skateboarder react quick

Dubbing this “cookie consent” is almost conspiracy level misguiding of the public by advertisers. It’s not about cookies at all, they’re fine, it’s about using those cookies to track people around the internet and sell their data. Frustrati

You can’t get into the pump, so it’s at least impossible to pee in them. I guess you could pee on them, but it would be a pretty high shot, and honestly, why would you?
