Has bug-correcting editing improved over the years? We use OSM quite a bit in the public sector because they aren’t snooping. Three years ago one of our internal routing systems broke because someone had reported the street leading up to ou

Assuming JVM is (or will be) installed is a little risky though, isn’t it? We got rid of it in our enterprise setting some years ago, and we hardly seem unique in having removed JAVA from our available techs in our area. I know games aren’t

Maybe in factories, but we’re seeing a real need for craftsmen in Denmark after three decades of university being the only “cool” education path. Mean while white collar students with less attractive degrees struggle to find work. I’m not s

Cloud auto-scaling has made quite a few things in the public sector cheaper to operate. There are the obvious use cases like tax-returns or student-registration, which are annual loads where you could technically scale without the auto part

We use it for a lot of back-end services that used to be build in C# and ASP. Partly because Python has better supported libraries for a lot of the things we need (even related directly to Microsoft techs), but also because it’s just really

In Denmark we have a “newish” national standard for public service architecture called rammearkitekturen. It’s an attempt to make IT easier and cheaper in a country with the most digitised public sector of the world where 98 muniplacities e

The library was a part of .NET version 4.x and was then dropped when Microsoft wanted people to move to Azure. We had similar issues with the AD APIs in .NET. You’d think Microsoft would have extensive AD integration support for C#, but you

The absolute worst part is all the legacy bits that Microsoft made and later abandoned. We set up a Microsoft Service Center Orchestration service for Windows 2012, and while we’re migrating it to Azure now, the C# library that handled auth

It’s not a U.K. thing it’s an Europol thing: https://www.europol.europa.eu/newsroom/news/international-cr... No idea what law it breaks, but apparently the developer of a similar Trojan got 30 months in prison in

I did, but it doesn’t seem to work very well when I’m on my phone. I may be alone in this but even though old isn’t particularly mobile friendly I still prefer it to the mobile web app.

With reddit it’s extra annoying because once you’ve clicked through the amp, you still have to manually replace the www with old. I’m not sure how we ended up with an internet where you need to move through a search engine and two shitty mo

I’ve never been to an AMP page where I haven’t clicked forward to the actual site because the AMP sucks. Which means that Google’s attempt to, well I don’t really know what the hell they are doing with AMP pages, has made searching such a d

We recently picked up python, mostly by accident. We had some really shorty formatted XML. We’re talking no-schema because nodes of the same type contain different elements. No consistency. Some nodes used differently from each other depend

Python is easily the most efficient at getting things done at our shop. Not sure it’s the smartest, but we care a lot less about that. We were a C# shop for a long while, but even with .Net Core and a Windows/azure heavy tech stack Pyt

I bought a pair of Sony MX3 earlier this year, or maybe late 2018 and at the time I did a lot of research on them. I think it boils down to a choice between the MX and the QC and the best option for you is probably going to be a tad persona

When a news paper headline asks a question that seemingly can be answered with a yes or no, the answer is always “no”. When a programming blog has a headline which teases knowledge of the perfect technology, the answer is always “I don’t kn

Visual Studio is amazing at juggling things that are wonderful while you have a mental map of your code and nightmarish once you don’t.

I wouldn’t be so sure. I mean it’s anecdotal, but I rarely buy things. I buy all my clothes from the same internet store, and I do mean all, I have five pairs of shaping new tomorrow pants and when they get worn I replace them with the same

I work as an external examiner as a side gig, and while this is anecdotal, I see most educational institutions around here switch from java to python. It makes sense too. Python is much more representative of what students will run into in

Really? With a decade long experience with C# I have never found the nuget package manager to be superior to pip. I don’t think nuget is necessarily worse either, but there are so many abandoned packages that died with some .Net version. Wh
