I just would like to give my opinion on some of your points, which I don't agree with: > Looking at the documentation directly, what they advise you to do is kind of the worst idea they could come up with: https://stripe.

Azure App Service provides an integrated optional auth wall for the apps deployed, without adding extra code. It may be a bit overkill to deploy a static site on the App Service, but it's supported. See here: https://learn.m

Business are currently required in Italy to accept cards. Some still do not, but they can get a fine for it.

Here are the signs that I had during my burnout: - Hoping to get sick to get a few days without having to cope with work - Trouble sleeping - Not being able to enjoy my holiday / weekend due to the thought of having to go back to work

I've spent the last year working on an e-commerce project that esclusively uses websocket for real-time updates and communication. There are some great benefits to it, but websockets also introduce a lot of technical challenges that ma

I can confirm that this happens in Italian as well. I've never visited the site before and my search placeholders in the top bar are just full of weird NSFW terms. Weirdly, it only happens to the desktop site, if I access it via mobile

I don't know java, but that's not the message I got from the comment. It looks like with java, 3 VMs with 2 cores are better than 6 VMs with 1 core, which may be forgotten when configuring equivalent kubernetes services.

I hope they are talking about hashed passwords. There is no reason why in 2021 passwords can be recovered in clear text, even in a legacy code base...

I've now worked for about six months on a Akka.NET codebase. I find it a very elegant high-performance framework that gives you a lot of flexibility in how you want to solve a wide range problems. This being said, I've been burned

I've used BEE editor many times before, and I've always always loved it. When I found out the company was founded in Italy (my home country) I was very pleasantly surprised, as tech companies with such well designed products are v

Probably because number of hours worked per week is only one of the metrics involved in the general ranking.

I've recently started a remote job with a UK-registered company, and I am working from Italy. If the company does not have a local office in the country (which mine doesn't), the easiest way is just to become a contractor/fre

I live in Rome, so I can give a bit of feedback on it. The road has been turned to pedestrian-only since August 2013 by the mayor Marino. It has been like that ever since. There is currently no plan for deconstruction, and the future of th

I think this part is captured by Satisfactory "Tier" system. As you progress in the game, you unlock Tiers which allow you to build new materials and structures. The issue often is that you optimize the hell out of your factories

I honestly stopped after the winter holidays for this reason. At one point, it felt a bit too similar to actually working... but I enjoyed it very much until the "spaghetti factory point of no return" :)

Yes that's what I meant. I don't know factorio very well, "nicer" meant just that Satisfactory is more focused on being a pretty game with cool graphics and world exploration, and less "hardcore" on the automat

This winter break I spent an embarrassing amount of time on Satisfactory on Steam, which is essentially a nicer (and probably easier) modern refresh of Factorio. While I played, I came to similar conclusions to the article. Building factori

Impressive machine. As an Italian, I am pleased to see that the casting machine for Tesla is supplied by an Italian company. Living in Italy, sometimes it's hard to see why the country is still in the top 10 economies in the world, due

Me neither, I don't understand at all the point the author is trying to make. His arguments seem to point exactly in the opposite direction to the decision to take the job at Amazon.

I see xtracto's point. You are "paying" to pursue a PhD in the form of missed additional revenue that you could have achieved by starting in the industry earlier on. Or pursue other paths that could be more industry-focused (

My opinion on the Power Platform is: - Canvas apps: worth it only for very simple applications that interact with another MS datastore (Sharepoint, CDS/Dataverse) and services. If you mostly need to interact with custom APIs, a simple
