Oh, the joys of public infrastructure privatization... There's a lesson to be learnt here, extending beyond digital infrastructures. The Dutch government should have outsourced DigiD hosting to SURF [1] which already had extensive expe

Since Trump can't walk away from NATO [1], could the claim on Greenland be a ruse to force the de-facto resolution of NATO? He probably sees Europe as too meek to do anything more dramatic/substantial. And believes that without NA

As an outside observer of this beef tallow trend, it looks to me a lot like a fad driven by some internalized machismo: "It's not proper food if it's not from a dead animal." While this is not unique to the US, apparentl

The problem is that there are virtually no off-the-shelf local AI applications. So they're trying to sell us expensive hardware with no software that takes advantage of it.

Why not just use UUIDs as a unique column next to a bigint PK? The power and main purpose of UUIDs is to act as easy to produce, non-conflicting references in distributed settings. Since the scope of TFA is explicitly set to be "monoli
