Both, I think their point is that they’ve got rid of most of the wooden sleepers and replaced them with ‘modern’ concrete. Unfortunately, ‘modern’ is a pretty meaningless word and tells us nothing as to the why of this.

How about Jira-is-dog-slow-and-the-interface-is-garbage-so-just-give-me-the-data? Not catchy enough? Presumably if you built a front end for the database you’d then have a not shit issue tracker.

Surely it comes down to trademarks. If you’re using someone else’s trademark you’re in trouble if they sue you.

The Daily Mail should not be considered a reliable source. Best to disregard anything from there. IIRC, Wikipedia takes this approach.

That’s the UK system. Almost all the press is owned by foreign billionaires.

I would expect the hacker news crowd would be above this deliberately over-simplified take on the situation. Media like this is designed to re-enforce certain incorrect but convenient views of the world.

It’s an indicator that you paid your protection money to the industry audit mafia. Racket, like I said.

Screen sharing is still a awful yeah. It either just works or you’re into a world of pain with user level systemd units that log nothing useful or nothing at all, dependencies that you have to somehow know to install with no instructions,

I can’t imagine how to face an interview panel knowing you’ve pissed at least one of them off already before you even arrived.

And no CGNAT which should make a bigger difference. Xbox live supported IPv6 for years because gamers really care about latency.

Canary deployments in autonomous vehicles? I’m not sure that only sending 1% of customers to fiery deaths is considered a win.

To be fair most of the people employed at FAANGs are just moving things between protocol buffers and hash maps and back again. They just make the interview hard because they pay a high salary and get too many applicants.

Neither of those are governments, the UN is a forum for discussion and is very much needed if not always enormously successful. The EU isn’t (obviously) global, but has actually been pretty successful. I actually think it’s a pretty good mo

The model itself is a derivative work of GPLed code and thus should itself be open sourced. Granted by the time it’s spat out it’s probably an unreadable binary blob but it would be nice to have access to it for GPLed projects.

Do they have an Italian domain? Brex.it? Because it’s sounds like they’re going to be about that successful in the long run.

Indeed, I grew up with graduate, move to a city, go in everyday, socialise with coworkers, make friends, go to meet ups make more friends. Now it’s, graduate, stay at home, zoom in. Where is the fun in that?

And that is why this project should never have made it past the brainstorming session.

Probably we have to start again with something different in the same way as the web replaced all the other protocols (gopher, usenet etc). I’m not what that looks like but it should be cleaner, simpler, open and blockchain-free.
