Strongly disagree. Grand-facthering pricing sounds reasonable but is a nightmare for us. As well as the technical issues with having to build in a load of complexity to maintain various features on different customer accounts, at some point

Well the Catholic church have been teaching that pride is the most deadly (and original) of sins for many years so no news there really. The hard part is always the conclusion: "as we seek, in fellowship with others, to abandon our con

I'm just thinking there are times where there is a violent assault, for example, perhaps the person has previous and is basically a horrible person who was winding someone up or just doing stuff that most people would be disgusted with

One thing I find annoying is that they still return results that are those sites that seem to register a load of terms that all point to the same page. You see this with telephone numbers, song lyrics etc. where the result looks like "

It's happened a load of times in the UK. I think often kids or young adults who haven't really thought things through and just think it is funny or "edgy" to their mates. The distance to target can give a false sense of

Except humans, business and politics are far too complex to encapsulate in laws, at least in their current format. Look at a "simple" case in the news today. Several men who were abused in the 1970s have lost their case against Ma

I assume you are implying that wealth inequality is a motivator that makes people work harder and aim higher. As with everything else in the universe, it works for some, it doesn't work for others and there are plenty who have almost l

And I would expect many of capitalism's detractors would say that capitalism encourages cronyism. Personally, I think all governments of all persuasions have proved their ability to line their own pockets, sometimes subtly and sometime

It is kind of mentioned in the article but I think a lot of developers don't realise that there isn't just good code and bad code, there is a whole spectrum and the position on this spectrum is dictated by skill, experience, time

There is an issue that needs consideration, if you compare to Japan which has enormous cycle usage. Although it is good for air pollution, you end up seeing whole seas of cycles everywhere which is not nice in terms of the aesthetic nvironm

I think it's tricky really. The only way it can work well is if a council starts closing certain roads to motor traffic or to through-traffic but this does cause a knock-on effect that is not easily fixed. There are lots of people who

Can it be true though, except in very extreme/niche circumstances, that there are really people who are $200K+ better than other devs? I can't really imagine what that level of dev can do much more than those I have worked with wh

The interesting part for me was the suggestion that over time, the lower demands of school, family and workplaces can lead to lower IQ although the time frame seems pretty short to be genetically significant. My own experience (in the UK) i

It could be coaching or just business as usual. If the developer is young/new and you are reviewing their code expecting various mistakes that you can then "coach" them about, it could be part of coaching. However at other ti

As other posters have commented, since they were claiming results from much smaller samples, these "good" machines weren't given the amount of blood required for reliable results so this is also fraudulent and much worse imho

This wouldn't be satisfying. It is hard to accept that one person was responsible for all of the dishonesty. Even if you were "only" the CFO or COO, you must know what is happening in the company. What about all of the scient

The definition of fraud is to make false representation for "gain". In many cases, lying is not automatically fraud. The burden of proof is also on the prosecution so if you claim, "Salesforce will transform your business&quo

Fairly standard in the UK. Businesses don't want to lose face and see the share price drop so they keep everything as private as possible and only release the bear minimum information. Look out for standard phrases like, "A small

2) I think this is a bit like asking, "Why isn't there a comprehensive guide to art" Infra is massively complicated. Not only do you have competing frameworks/modules, you also have these change in different releases of

Although not exactly user-friendly, I created my first proper bash script the other day for setting up a postfix server on a vps. You have to create the vanialla vps first but then the script does all of the apt install stuff and then uses

There is a lot of goodwill out there and it works best with community and people we can either relate to or live close enough to in order to feel empathy. What is remarkable is that doing something by yourself can feel impossible but with j

Echo: Seek professional help. You might be struggling just "because" and you need time to get over your experience but there might be an underlying cause that makes you unable to get past it (or at least makes it much harder). A p

I haven't personally had any terrible experiences (although the car I had booked was given to someone else, leaving me with a smaller one once!) but that doesn't mean the companies couldn't do much better. I think we have com

Definitely agree and even more so today, these systems run everything, back when I started programming, most banks didn't even have online accounts so you mostly got to choose whether you used an app. Nowadays, you are using them wheth

A big ecosystem isn't necessarily good. Although big is relative, it can mean "mature, well-known, multi-featured, well-supported, well-documented", it can also mean "Complicated, hard-to-reason, hard-to-pick a library,

I'm sure someone has coined a term for it but isn't it just a tendency for rich companies to keep employing more and more people who are adding less and less value so they invent roles, departments, imaginary needs and requirement

I would have probably assumed it was an American spelling (as a Brit). Certainly wouldn't have bothered me too much.
