It is in fairness not a winning business strategy to go out and advertise with “we make breaching copyright easier”.

I have no ideas how many times I'd have been fired if Slack did this. Let's just say my first pass on a message in the heat of the moment can sometimes be less than professional.

I'm curious, is the Moonlander enough of an upgrade over the EZ to be worth dropping that sort of money on a second keyboard? What are the big differences you've actually noticed having made the jump?

Extremely low compared to what? I’m in a competitively paid position as a principle developer for a large London technology company. Not renowned for high salaries, but also not bottom of the market. Most people I know in basically any othe

It really is amazing how far you can get by just dumping everything into a single database and letting people do joins. We’re doing the same thing with Stitch replicating data from production databases and a few SaaS products into a big Pos

Since you've explicitly asked for advice, the only way to assess remote employees is by what they're delivering. If you employ them for 40 hours a week, but they can deliver what you're asking in 5 and still be responsive whe

The same is true of Blue, the current iteration of the hardware, and I believe its because people who are into home automation enough to buy a dedicated Home Assistant box probably already have a bunch of hardware and opinions on whether th

Reading between the lines here, I guess the real question is “does this stuff work when not everyone is technically inclined”. When I first started working in home automation my boss at the time had a saying “if you have to press a button,

Room occupancy is something I’ve been playing with for several years, and I’m yet to find a really good solution to it. Having said that Hass has a Bayesian filter component which can give you a probability of occupancy based on a bunch of

That was coincidentally about the point I lost interest the series as it totally jumped the shark from “flawed but I can suspend disbelief” to “oh great, another series that’s going to build ever more tenuous conspiracy theories”.

I think you've summed up the biggest immersion breaker in that program for me. At some point a character mentions a cost of $40,000/day, which seems like a huge amount until you look at how much staff is needed to keep the park ru

While I agree with you in principle, its often not as easy as just releasing the code. Modern games are built upon many different third party libraries handling anything from the user interface through to physics, and I can see it not being

I'm not convinced the target market is people who run their own data centres, those people are highly unlikely to migrate the control plane to AWS. To me the big target markets here are: * People running compute on AWS, but content dis

The big selling point for k8s vs ECS is that it (theoretically) allows you to lift and shift your cluster to another cloud provider without too much pain because load balancers/storage/etc sit behind an abstraction layer. When you

Did you just use the sentence “only 13 unarmed black men were shot by police”? That’s still outrageous. For context in the same year the UK police had 13 occasions total where officers fired their weapons, resulting in 3 fatalities. ( https

The App Store terms for developers now require any app which allows self-service sign up to also allow closing your account in the same way. That means forcing people to call up to cancel their subscription would result in having the app re

You say that, but AWS will provide satellite downlink as a service now, which seems almost the definition of a niche market.

I've seen Artemis run at a hacker camp before, complete with a tent full of touch screens, a big projector as the main display, and of course an overly large seat for the captain. It was great fun, highly recommend it if you get the ch

I really wish I’d had a chance to use ASP in an environment doing it properly, rather than the cowboy atmosphere of a tiny web agency. If I understand correctly the idea was that you’d use a proper language for your core business logic whic
