You joke, but the name and likeness of these players is something EA have to license each year for the next FIFA release.

Containerisation makes it a lot easier to manage a fleet of Raspberry Pis being used as appliances. Rather than having to manage in-place updates, including potentially updates across multiple versions, or rolling back to previous releases,

Rails is great if what you’ve got is read-mostly cachable content being served up. In an environment with high rates of incoming data, most of which can’t be reliably cached, things get more interesting and you start needing to scale horizo

Please, please, do not use something like this as the only method of monitoring a child’s safety. This sort of thing has given me honest to god nightmares. My day job is managing development and infrastructure of internet connected cameras,

One of these days someone at Twitter will remember they bought Tweetdeck and start messing with it in the same way they do for the main site and apps, but until then it’s fantastic.

I’m responsible for a fleet of a few hundred Raspberry Pis being used as home monitoring hubs - they use high grade SD cards, and are configured to write as little as possible while still fulfilling their function, yet we still see one or t

I once read an interesting theory that coffee was a fundamental part of the renaissance because it gave people something to drink late into the night other than alcohol, provoking huge swathes of sober (and likely somewhat hyperactive) conv

My favourite story from the support guys when I was working for an ISP was an old lady they’d been talking to for ages trying to work out the problem. Eventually they asked her to restart the router, she seemed utterly baffled as to what th

You want to talk to ISPs that target themselves at business use, rather than consumer ISPs who are indeed all in a race to the bottom, with a side-serving of barely different custom routers. Zen Internet (zen.co.uk) have pricing comparable

In fairness it is very clearly branded as a GitHub Certification, rather than a git certification, so its not like they're trying to hide it.

The fact there are spaces in it might cause problems, but I somehow doubt that the native French speakers this would be targeted at are going to have much difficulty typing accented letters in the right place.

I agree Rubocop is heavy handed in the rules it hands down by default, its really useful as a formatter, but we have an internal gem at work which contains a set of less strict rules around things like complexity and method length to try an

Gravity Industries in the UK have a working jet pack, although flight time is extremely limited, I think in the order 5-10 minutes, and it isn’t designed to fly at altitude. The founder demonstrated using it for rapid casualty assistance in

I’ve never encountered a well written TV series where I was disappointed at it ending after two seasons, while I’ve encountered a great many which outstayed their welcome and soured me on the entire thing. I know some people love great long

I’m sure it can, given at its core it just tunnels traffic from one place to another, but to be brutally honest this is a 0.1 release and if you can’t work out how to do this from the documentation you’re going to have a really bad time wor

I'm hoping that this policy leads to much tighter story arcs which aren't designed to take 5 seasons to come to a conclusion. There's far too much TV that basically only has actual new plot elements in the first and last ten

I have a couple of Echo devices, predominantly I use them for lighting control, alarms, timers, speakers for music and podcasts when cooking, paging out messages round the house rather than yelling down the stairs. My six year old son has p

I think all your comments are valid, except for the one on support for Switch (and other consoles). I've never done this, but when I was playing with Godot there were references to being able to go to a particular consultancy who are a

I’m not sure what the reasons for continuous sync would be, but SongShift will do a manual sync between services for free, and it sounds like I did so to move from Spotify to Apple Music just in time.

I would like both please. Tracking technology helps with the specific example of tools left inside patients, but does nothing for things like accidentally amputating the wrong leg.

I stopped reading at the point that an article trying to tell us how to effectively implement DevOps started talking about “DevOps Engineers”. I also got that little bit closer to getting “DevOps isn’t a job title” stickers made.

I’m also not interested in this feature, but do want to say that’s a lovely example of implementing the bare minimum to gauge the value of a feature.

They’ll be using DHCP, but even when not doing anything nefarious you’re better off using known DNS servers when deploying appliances on random networks because consumer ISPs have a habit of ignoring TTLs and redirecting DNS results when yo

All they need in that case is a signed contract with Comcast saying they’re allowed to connect to Xfinity networks.

Piholes just replace DNS results, so a device using hard coded DNS servers allows it to bypass that. This leads to people redirecting all port 53 traffic to the Pihole, which leads to devices/apps doing DNS over HTTPS, at which point i

With a standalone smart box connected via HDMI if it becomes obsolete, or you want to use different software it’s just that which needs replacing. With a smart TV the entire display has to be replaced, to no real benefit.

There’s always an irritating pause which sounds like someone has picked up as well, so every 90 seconds your hopes are dashed.
