Not only political, but with SLAs on the line they have significant financial and legal consequences as well. Most managers are probably happier keeping the ‘incident declaring power’ in as few a hands as possible to make sure those penalty

Open Source has been so well understood to mean a certain set of things within the technology industry now that making changes to that definition would just cause unnecessary confusion (beyond what already exists between OSS and FOSS ...).

I agree with the author that writing is one of the most undervalued skills for SWEs, but for a completely different reason - it forces you to reason things through properly, even if nobody else will ever read what you write. Writing a coupl

IANAL My armchair argument would be that when you sign up to post on a public forum, you should have every expectation that your posts will remain visible. Expecting otherwise would be rather like publishing a book before invoking GDPR to &

For apps you install on your own machine, I think the JetBrains perpetual license model is probably my favourite so far. After a certain period you can stop paying the subscription and keep using the old version. But if you want to keep up

Surely a few potential snooping countries have the capabilities to tap seabed fibre by now, and we'd be better served having carriers add encryption at the link level regardless of who laid the cable.

The truly malevolent thing to do would be to run a programme offering their customers a payout for sending in a GDPR request. Bonus malefactor points for using targeted ads to reach those customers.

Let's be fair, Google does usually deliver a working product, even if they take it away just as everyone starts using and liking it.

I agree. I'm quite stumped as to what this shadowy yet incompetent entity is that has the power to compel or manipulate FedEx into redirecting documents to the USA, but is incapable of getting them lost / delayed for a few hours t

Quite possibly they have their whitelist of 'tested with' browsers for the new experience, and Edge Preview wasn't one of those, so got shown the 'use a supported browser' modal.

I think that's just the hardcoded example in the text, considering it's still there when I viewed with no scripts enabled (and I'm on a network that doesn't have anything assigned in 192.168.0.0/16).

I guess it would depend quite heavily on location - particularly re. tax and employment regulation. For example, in London, a lot of the good people historically went the contracting route due to much higher rates and lower taxes. Big banks

With the significant caveat that I haven't used it much myself (I mainly work with Bazel which obviates the need), I think Uber's prototool [0] can manage most if not all of that. Might be worth giving it a look. [0] https:/

What makes that impossible now? I'm probably overlooking something in your use case, but couldn't you just have a simple build script / makefile that generated the libraries with a different protoc call for each library?

But this is the same with any open source project - you can write as much code as you want, but if those with the commit bits decide they don't like it, it's not getting upstreamed. If you were really keen to push some functionali

I think there'd be two big issues - (1) what is reasonable behaviour when you reach your budget, and (2) the consistency of billing. On (1), if you get to say the 14th of the month and run out of budget, what would be the expected beha

Quite a lot of larger companies use various endpoint monitoring / protection solutions that will log and stream back a lot of data in order to e.g. protect against device compromise and insider threats. It's not as though your man

If imposed at a blanket level, then yes. But zero-rating some items (e.g. food, housing) and higher-rating others (yachts, private jets, ...) can address that to a certain extent.
