I think part of the problem is that Docker is the now popular answer to the problem of 'it works on my machine'. Unfortunately 'works on my machine' also involved going to the web site of a particular tool or library an

CFengine, at least version 3, was probably the furthest away from string manipulation (and I was given the impression that text file content manipulation was considered a bad idea with it). What killed it was promise theory, which is actua

The photo at the top of the article is bizarre, especially with the caption of the property having a dance floor and a DJ while in the photo there is also a pram.

Purchase prices of London properties rose much faster than rent. That's coming to an end now, there's a finite supply of people who can or will throw silly money at it. It doesn't mean that prices will come down, but it doe

Sorry, the point I was trying to make, immaturely, is that detecting contamination with potentially toxic substances doesn't necessarily mean it's dangerous. There's a lot of variables at play here and sometimes it spreading

I know Huawei did exactly this when their phone network equipment was being tested for approval and adoption by mobile phone networks.

I bet you they also detect dihydrogen monoxide at near lethal dose levels in food samples, due to farmers spraying it on the crops. Some of that stuff even makes it into the rivers and flows into the ocean and can be detected in the fish i

I suspect it also depends on where you lived. I lived in a small town in South Africa, and I am in awe at the quality of the junk this guy picked up and when I moved to the UK seeing the stuff that people threw away was like witnessing the

DIY speakers, if you get the basics of speaker design right, can be really good. It's because if you build them yourself you can build an enclosure as big as you like, as thick and heavy as you like, with enough dampening as you like a

I've spent much of my career as a contractor and even before that I often changed jobs often early in my career since I had a good reputation in the industry I was in so I got approached often. You have to realise that it's a num

I think in some countries, cultures and industries there's some kind of legacy class system where only people of the managerial class can share in the spoils of the company, so the only way to reward a competent and skilled employee wi

I've seen how healthy the bee populations are at the wineries around Cape Town. The Africanized bee seems to handle the varroa mites quite well and also somehow seems unaffected by widespread neonicotinoid use.

I suppose this is the one of the reasons farmers in the UK will be glad that the UK is leaving the EU, because the neonicotinoids are mainly used as seed coverings on rapeseed (which is the crop that most of the vegetable food/cooking

I'm really glad to see that Apple is paying attention again to what have been their long time core users. First with the new iPad for the education market and now revealing strategies for creatives in design and audio.

I'm glad to see the OLPC actually being used somewhere and researched. I think part of the reason the project never got that far was because when it was introduced the developing world were convinced 'computers' were synonym

Yup, same here. It's a terminal, to my dev and production systems. I only develop on it directly if I'm targeting specific other hardware (arduino, rpi, esp8266, making a linux distro, etc.) and even then I run that in a virtual

I think LTS type of implementations are down to container services providers and things like OpenShift.

I think many businesses are implementing productivity improvement work which consists of a) an investment in engineering time and b) moving things around. I think to most people moving things around is the only really visible part. I thin

I think the reason why a Tesla is comparable to consumers in price/value to a BMW series 1 model are down the Tesla price being brought down through a combination of subsidies and a clever financing structure which isn't really pr

Using Excel spreadsheets multi user database instead of as a spreadsheet calculator is one of my pet peeves. Unfortunately it's also exactly what happens when organisations are lacking in processes and tools and less technical people

My first thought was that since it's becoming popular to swap Graphite out with something like InfluxDB, someone found a new use for the Graphite metrics database by storing encrypted chunks of files in it instead.

I think it's a combination of tax breaks and subsidies that are at play here along with high taxes on ICE vehicles. Not just on the purchase price, in some European countries for cars with engine sizes well over 2.0l it totals up to €

Were the fees mostly made up of the lawyers fees? It would be possible to do it without the lawyers, but it's a long shot, or better would be to find people with a similar case to band together to take on such a case. It's usual
