Some legacy identifiers come in fixed length fields, insufficient for contemporary usage. I know a company where some identifier should have been lengthened long ago, but that would impact a couple hundred systems (and by system I mean whol

For good reasons: increasing speed without uprating the rest of the system - brakes in particular, is looking for trouble. Also, 25 km/h vehicles are fit to mingle with bicycles on cycleways, whereas superior speeds belong on the road

In France, the pharmacist is legally obliged to offer the cheaper generic. If the doctor wants the primary brand specifically, he has to write "non-substitutable" on the prescription and a shorthand mention of the reason.

Are toilets in the bathroom common in your country ? Here, in France, they are a separate room - which also helps with multiple simultaneous uses.

In French corporate circles for 25 years, I have only seen presentations with Powerpoint or the occasional full-screen PDF. Apple is common among freelancers, but company people get the obligatory Windows laptop.

At an ISP, when I was much younger, at the coffee machine I asked the Technical Director why we didn't invest in some technical cleanup. He replied that any available finances are much more profitably spent in advertising, which was di

And then, one day, single-system-image will be back in fashion and processes will migrate across the cluster - like in the good old days of Openmosix, but maybe with Kubernetes-like robustness...

I have not found webmentions-specific antispam processes. I suppose that, a whitelist/greylist/blacklist approach at host level might keep it manageable: if a social host can't moderate its spammers, then it is not worth acce

Running any public forum mostly means moderation. Trawling through hundreds of spam comments that got through the filters, to find the occasional jewel, ceased to motivate me. Should we be sad that discussion about a piece doesn't occu

SNMP is how PDUs let us monitor power consumption over a telco's whole hosting infrastructure (hundreds of sites). Security at protocol level is inexistent, so it runs on a very isolated and very monitored network. Not suitable for inf

Are nodes conceptually distinct from effect layers or is the difference only in the way they are presented ? One of the examples show a merge operation though, which involves a sequence and therefore would not be possible with just a stack
