In my completely anecdotal experience, Facebook has been far, far, better at targeted advertising than google. Facebook seems to know what Kickstarter products I’ve backed, what specific miniature paints I like and seemingly which I’ve alre

They don’t fail though, and there is a really good reason why they don’t. When you sell software to non-tech companies, they’re used to failures. We have 1 supplier out of more than 1200, who hasn’t screwed up majorly at one point or the ot

No, productive means profitable. It’s the only thing that counts.

I think you’re missing the key component of payment. They cost very little, and, they work extra hours for free. It’s not really a myth. Some of the most successful companies in my region is doing exactly this sort of thing. The quality isn

Where are young developers less productive than their seniors? People are literally building successful companies on the fact that if you set up an university like environment, have foosball, tech-interest-talk and pizza nights, then you ca

Stackoverflow has always run on a couple of IIS instances. If you’re not bigger than them don’t worry. You can pretend to be Netflix or Google, and build your tech-stack like they do. Or you can stop wasting your resources setting up a tech

I use a MacBook Pro 2016 everyday. Safari is easily the best browser memory and systems wise, but I still mainly use chrome because it’s better at addblocking and synchronises with my non-Mac devices. Chrome is fine though, as long as you d

I think the pandemic has shown us just how much school sucks, and how ineffective and incompetent the political system behind it truly is. I’m Danish, and our school system is run largely by the public sector, so keep that in mind. When the

It’s new public management. Why have a hundred people maintaining these things when you can just have 1 person do it remotely. I don’t think it’s a good idea either, but it’s exactly why it happens. While I said it’s new public management,

Are you sure people don’t want it? I think it’s one of the biggest market potentials in gaming right now. I’m quickly approaching 40, and I would like nothing more to not have to own the windows desktop that I only use for one thing. To pla

In the public sector in Europe we’ve long liked Microsoft because they actually sell support. When they decided to push 365 additions as enabled by default and no easy way to turn it off, we suddenly had a couple of thousand employees tryin

While I do think the low global interest rates, national debts, general housing prizes, and, real valuable estate being hogged by hedge funds makes things significantly different from the 2000, I don’t think middle class stock options have.

The internet split long ago, and the vast majority of western consumers won’t give two shits about non-progressive voices getting drowned. I’m not judging either way, and there is certainly something ironic about Apple using slave labour wh

I work in the public sector in Europe. We’re regularly approached by various ML projects. From universities to IBM, and we don’t turn them down, because we genuinely never turn down potential. Especially not something that’s on top of Gartn

You have to wonder why they are even having the conversation. It’ll be 20 years since 9/11 this year. Some of the people who are getting killed as terrorists weren’t even born when it happened. Are they even a threat to us? Maybe they

Germany and France have rather similar regulatory setups to ours, so it does work in larger and more fragmented countries. But as I said, I have no idea how it would work for USA. It's honestly kind of hard for me to imagine how any US

I certainly think there is something to be said about that. Ad revenue tends to follow people though, and people flocked to the the open platforms, in part because Google, Facebook and so on, build algorithms to game the psychology of us as

In Denmark, and in many other European countries, we have special media laws that are guidelines on what the responsibilities of being an editorial body means. We also have an independant institution to make sure these are upheld. In Denmar

Except it isn't. We obviously had setups that mirrored production long before docker and CI/CD became a thing, but spending time configuring those things, for every project is just insane. Even pythons virtual environments take le

Was the news industry broken by Facebook and Google, or was it broken by the lack of regulation? In my country, actual publishers are accountable for what they report, and as such, they tend to be better sources than what you'll find o

Beyond that, the fact that you have to do any of this is silly. The .Net tooling used to be easy, now you’ll be able of building your entire application in python before you’re even done configuring your .Net environment. I know I’m grossly

You sure make a lot of assumptions on my behalf, don’t you? Let’s address them. I’m not left, I’m not even American. I’m European, which is why I’m speaking about which direction the EU is taking on this. We’re going to regulate big tech, b

The tech companies are just ahead of regulation on this. That’s not to say, that banning the president of America, from a platform isn’t problematic or that big tech lacks the public mandate to do so. But that doesn’t change the fact, that
