If you are touching sensitive systems, like military infrastructure, nuclear power plant, law enforcement, banks, it's not uncommon at all. In some cases, mostly governmental stuff, you can be personally liable if you misplace accident

I've seem a similar mistake nearly been made. There was a printer (the big, one cubic meter, enterprise type) in a sensitive air-gaped network that was not used anymore, and there was a plan to reuse it on the main network. It was near

I completely agree with you. I tend to like the idea of the 2 pizzas rule from Jeff Bezos. Having a small team (let say under 10 people) manage a service end to end (from spec to code to production) can be really efficient. On large code ba

There are several issues with ARM based servers: * 99% of developers' laptops are still amd64. Cross compiling is a pain. Cross arch VMs are a pain (emulation vs para-virtualization). Unless one big brand of professional laptops makes

It's a really personal opinion, but I don't think that we saw a lot of technological breakthrough in the last 50 years. Except in genetic, chemistry and computer sciences, most other fields looks a lot like where they were 50 year

It's possible to create an OSX VM under KVM. It's a little clunky, you get very bad graphics performances, and you can run in really weird issues (for example, the NIC not going-up properly), but it works, and if you are using it

I'm wondering if Gitea is a little better than Gogs in term of security. I remember that Debian considered Gogs to replace Alioth, but rejected it because of security concerns like injections (SQL XSS, etc). I've also seen Gogs RE

Don't count on your Github account for recruitment. I've a decent number of personal projects on Github, some of them actually used by other people. But I can count on the finger of one hand the number of times I was contacted by

I have a gogs installation. One of the main thing I was it for is to synchronize (and backup) my github repositories. Gogs is able to sync an external git repo every 12 or 24 hours. That way, if one day, Github goes belly-up, even if it&#x2

In some cases, you can also expose in some ways the database schema to the user through a custom made ORM. The result is also a nightmare, it makes for really difficult upgrades, and a complex product for the customer as he has to have some

Also because Oracle was kind of a dick (as usual) with the license after BDB 6.0.12. A lot of projects have switch away from BDB for that reason, others still rely on BDB 5.3. Also, I kind of agree that BDB is a bit of a nightmare to work w

In truth they broke themselves into smaller companies due to the concurrence of an even bigger monopoly: Google. This was a bit of an accident really. Maybe one day big companies with monopolistic tendencies will be broken-up. But it will b
