Reminds me of the old adage “I don’t need to outrun the bear. I just need to outrun you.” Once everyone takes the stance of waiting 2 weeks, we are all back to the same situation. I don’t like the suggestion to “wait for others to be the un

There are cultural differences here though. Brüder Grimm aren’t quite as toned down in Germany as we see in US stories being Disney-fied. The U.S. was born out of Puritanism. That prudishness and absolutism continues to echo through into it

I’ve never seen the Disney film. As a child I hated that story. My own children have no love for it either. If I was to guess, I’d say that there isn’t much of a character in that story to get behind and to empathize with as a child. Pinocc

Lidl cloud is a resurgence in OpenStack? I used to have quite a few customer hosted at Rackspace in the early 2010’s and I always thought it sad they dropped the ball when they got bought out by private investment and they fired most of the

Quite honestly I love the GitHub Copilot CLI. I pair it with Squad and it’s awesome. https://bradygaster.github.io/squad/ If I have the same repo also open in VSCode, it’s also aware of that fact, so you can give it co

They have an interesting UI decision here. The environmental variables list look like they are passwords (masked with a view button) and the sensitive flag is obvious in the add blade after you read the advisory but not before. We are busy

Agreed. The whole topic is a Trojan horse for surveillance companies to siphon off data. We need to start asking which politicians are pushing this and who’s pushing them to do it. They’re either doing it for money or being blackmailed int

I’m tired of the U.S. nanny state with its pilgrim-religious historical backdrop of prudishness, infecting everyone outside its own borders. Their ideas are deeply unhealthy for children and worst of all, lazily shift the responsibility of

I’ve been through several recessions. Painfully I’ve learnt that you want to work in an industry that is largely recession proof. Focus on industries that sell things that people need and will try to keep buying right down to their last buc

At a guess CosmosDb NoSql was a good choice for dumping user contexts sharded rather than use Postgres schema or JSONB. Citus is the obvious choice for this with Postgres but Azure had poor support until recently 2024 they have preview Azur

Microsoft originally bought CitusData and rebadged it as Azure CosmosDb for Postgres Cluster. Microsoft have been recommending partners to now avoid that product. It does not and will not support Entra federated workload identities (passwor

Agreed but not just NuGet. David also was a key driver for SignalR and now Aspire (which is genuinely the most awesome tool I’ve seen for a while). He’s also extremely humble and doesn’t need to try to impress anyone. I think it’s clear tha

I joined Stackoverflow early on since it had a prevalence towards .NET and I’ve been working with Microsoft web technologies since the mid 90’s. My SO account is coming up to 17 years old and I have nearly 15,000 points, 15 gold badges, inc

There was a time in the mid 90’s where we could have gone down one of two paths. “Free” ad-supported-you-are-the-product”, or digital micropayments. The latter was hard, and didn’t mature until 20 years later. Instead we got the shitfest in

That’s mainly because German has fucked up the smart meter rollout. In their wisdom they separated the meter and the gateway when other countries just combined it. They also made it super secure (good), but then didn’t look at the fact that

Possibly, but maybe the real difference is the subtlety between a planned deterministic (logical) result versus deterministic (black box) outcome? We’re seeing this shift already in software testing around GenAI. Trying to write a test arou

I’d argue that this was a limitation of the GA fitness function, not of the concept. Now that we have vastly faster compute, open FPGA bitstream access, on-chip monitoring, plus cheap and dense temperature/voltage sensing, reinforcemen

This reminds me of Adrian Thompson’s (University of Sussex) 1996 paper, “An evolved circuit, intrinsic in silicon, entwined with physics,” ICES 1996 / LNCS 1259 (published 1997), which was extended in his later thesis, “Hardware Evolu
