How would that help? Engineering is probably even more polarised than general science because engineers are all about the black-and-white. The difficult part is that life is much more nuanced. Even if a woman's brain is objectively dif

Flexible workload support doesn't sound great to me. Good tools have very specific use-cases so as soon as you start talking about IIS on windows, VMs, containers etc. it just sounds like lots of the dependencies you are trying to remo

Whether or not this would suit your own needs or you would rather use Jekyll etc., these sorts of things are great exercises and experience for devs. Use your own favourite language etc. but I wonder how many people who call themselves devs

Isn't it more about whether it is illegal rather than whether it is done in bad-trust? If you worked for Amazon, I suspect you would push very close to the line of legality in order to maximise profits, which makes you look dirty but d

I don't think that argument would stand up in Court!

It would be an interesting court case for sure. Aldi don't pretend that their brands are the famous brands and they don't stock the expensive ones so making cornflakes look a little like "Kellogs Cornflakes" is probably

Surely you don't have to degrade your security to a lower UK standard, you can still meet GDPR and make it clear on your website, "Do you conform to GDPR?", "Yes we do. Although the UK have a lower standard of data prote

There is some "zoning" in the UK too, it is just not so set in stone. Most councils have areas that are pre-approved for new housing, any other areas would require planning permission. Building in a conservation area (not necessar

Like most others said, if its not a painpoint now, just deploy manually and keep it simple. You will save time and money and more importantly, you can concentrate on what is important for early-stage companies: Nailing product-market fit so

You can already cache dockerhub via the docker repo container very easily. In fact, due to the number of builds, it would be foolish not to do this to avoid GBs of downloads all the time.

I can only guess that they either have or might want to have in the future, some foreign companies come and base their businesses there to generate some much welcome money and jobs into the national economies. They might also be suspicious

Isn't this another example of "how does a company with 1000s of the most able employees not notice a massive risk to business continuity sitting there waiting to happen"? DNS hosted on your own registrar, within your own data

They were just a couple of examples. If they were the only challenges, it wouldn't be a problem but I bet there are 1000s more (different in each country too.) and that target is constantly moving. When I said simplification, I meant t

40 people to solve an old case that people already suspected was carried out by someone who has now died doesn't seem like a judicious use of time and money, unless they did it for free. Los Angeles has an entire warehouse of unsolved

One thing I can't see mentioned is disaster recovery. We expect the cloud to be largely bulletproof but that has been proven wrong, we could easily lose something for multiple hours, which for a SaaS business is very bad for business.

Although your headline is correct imho, I think there are lots of things that the orchestrator might need to do above this, especially if you want the tool to be cloud agnostic so that everyone can use it, which just makes things a little m

I find it so weird when you sit in a room that sounds silent and you put the ANC headphones on and it sounds even quieter! Does this mean there is a tonne of sub-sonic noise that we don't conciously hear but we do notice when it is t

How are non-ICs in short-supply? Did I miss a whole story about supply chain problems or is it literally that overall demand has maxed out overall supply and most people don't have the means to increase production?

by lbriner 5y ago
Honest question: How can everyone be short of chips? I understand that e.g. car makers reduced their orders and their capacity was given to other manufacturers so they are kind of screwed but surely since the overall capacity got increased

+ Use correlation ids on more complex applications so you can track more than a single failed call into an application. Getting an error like "this thing fell over because of a number parsing error" might not be very useful when y

I think this only makes sense to an outsider dev who thinks everything is relatively easy. Tax and accounting is definitely not. What happens if you fall under two different tax-breaks or if a payment was taken on a certain date which falls

This has to be the most sensible thing. The UK used to say that "tax doesn't have to be taxing", very pithy but then I tried to make a zero return for a dormant company and had to use some horrific software from the HMRC (tax

Isn't this a well-known part of a company's lifecycle. You stop innovating and try and live off of your previous reputation. Yes, there is inertia and sticky customers but ultimately, people will eventually ask why they pay a prem

I'm not sure I understand this discussion. It sounds like most people are saying that null/nils cause a tonne of problems because if you don't check them everywhere, you end up with a crash. I don't see how making types

I read it as a "reward" and incentive for filing taxes in places like the US where everyone has to do it so it wouldn't translate to somewhere that taxes are paid via the employer or people on benefits because then there is n

Sounds like a startup but then what happens? You start getting success so now you have a new salesperson but they need lots of help because they aren't as techie as you. You might even start needing 24 hour support and a dedicated retu

This is probably due to engineer's bias. We like to look at something like Amazon and think "I could build that". It's just a shopping site? A business person would know all of the things you are talking about that make
