I never understood why the primary concern was privacy. I mean, it gets your information from Facebook doesn’t it? I’d be much more worried about what they’re training their algorithm to do. Seeing your old self is fun and all, but if you h

It’s the new buzz word for non-tech Gartner/EY/Deloitte consultants. It’s basically the new blockchain/RPA/BigData/AI. So far only RPA has brought us any value, and it comes with a ton of technical dept and huge amo

I don’t know, I work in the public sector where we have been in bed with Microsoft for decades and I don’t think their monopoly on non-tech enterprise has ever been stronger. There is really no alternative to Office365 that wouldn’t cost us

I don’t think you’re a weird minority. I work for a Danish city and we operate around 500 different IT systems. They are all slowly migrating to web, with some backend typically JAVA or C# and a JavaScript MVVM front. Only one of them uses

Microsoft uses a lot of different techs. Isn’t a lot of their cross platform and web code for office 365 build with React? That doesn’t mean they aren’t moving forward with .Net or C#, but the main thing they want to sell to developers in 2

Except there was a way around it until medicine became so expensive that nation states stopped being able to afford it. There will always be a debate on priorities, but it’s gone from being about how long certain things could wait, to, who

Are you domain forwarding, and if so, is your SPF record set up correctly?

There is a way around it. Big pharma is still just a bunch of companies. We could make 4000% price hikes on things like insulin illegal. We could set legal price limits on medicine. We could reform medicine patents. We could open research.

It’s a little unrelated to opioids, but increasing medicine prices is currently undermining the public health systems of Scandinavia to the point where we have to debate where to prioritise our funding. Do we really want to spend millions o

Governments have issues with non-stable code because it changes rapidly, is untested and a security risk. Facebook moves fast and break things. I think it exposes a key difference between a FAANG company and a lot of other development thoug

Is it really about morals? I see it more as a service that makes people chose your site over the competition. It basically boils down to “the customer is always right”, doesn’t it? Morally the customer isn’t always right, but you sell more

I probably should be noted that my mbp was the 13” i5 version as well, so not exactly one of the high performers.

I use my surface on my lap quite a lot, and it works fine, a lot less wobbly and no heat on thighs (or calves, not sure what your upper legs is called in English). It can’t be used on stomach in bed though, like at all. So there are certain

I recently sold my MacBook Pro 13” late 2018 edition. I got tired of the touch-bar, the keyboard and frankly OS/X (finder, docker, running local servers, outdated unix cli, iCloud and a range of other annoyances). I replaced it with a

I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted, because it absolutely is. It’s what lead me to go get tested. I just got so frustrated with myself because I just couldn’t stop interrupting, even when I was consciously working on it. At some poin

If you’re publishing on behalf of the university then you should run it by their legal department. I work for a Danish municipality and we use all three licenses. We’re moving most things from MIT to Apache because we were adviced it was sa

That was an interesting read, but man oh man what a harsh life, and, what a dreadful family. Can you even imagine going through even a tiny bit of that without breaking?

Well I think it’s absolutely terrible by comparison, not sure why you get to be an authority on my experience, but ok. Anyway, we boil and disinfect water because it’s what our ministry of health wants us to do. It’s also what was adviced b

Do you want to quit it? I know this article is mostly about low-quality food, but our microwave heats and disinfects bottles for our newborn daughter, and, that would have been tremendously more terrible without a microwave. I don’t think I

Visual Studio Code with remote and Windows Subsystem for Linux is arguable the best mix “development / personal use” environment I’ve ever been in, and the surface pro 6 is probably the first time I’ve been excited about a computer sin

WSL makes Windows a better development platform than Macs. You get better unix toolage, and you get it in a sandbox that doesn’t infect your regular desktop environment when you’re doing everything else.

I work in the public sector and we’ve been in bed with Microsoft for decades. Happy to have been too, I personally think we should do more Open Source for transparency reasons, but the truth is that Microsoft is the best major tech partner

I just finished selling my MBP to a refurbishing company because I got so sick of the keyboard and touchbar. OS/X isn’t really the advantage it used to be either with Ubuntu becoming actually tolerable and Microsoft doing WLS. At least

Is “plans regulation” really the right way to describe something that is really, really far from having majority support? [0] It’s a suggestion by our current governing party, but none of its three supporting parties or the opposition want

Are you sure it’s “most”? I can’t remember the last time I had to pay into someone’s private account instead of one of the correct ways to do it. I never said it was free, but depending on the service you want, it is significantly cheaper t

We have an app called mobile pay in Denmark, which I guess is similar to Apple Pay in that you link a credit card and it lets you send money to friends or pay for stuff. It’s owned by our banks and it works most places a credit card wouldn’

I know this isn’t the most informative post, but a lot of the IT guys in our operations unit do a lot of DIY “home-improvement” projects. It’s stuff like controlling lights, automated blinds, monitoring their indoor plants,3D printing tools

If you want low level CS stuff you could look up the Harvard and MIT entry courses on EDX.org. The MIT one is with python and more focused on the CS but the Harvard one starts with C, and usually has some really fun challenges evolving arou

I think they would very much like you to buy into Azure. We’re a C# shop, have been for decades, and .Net Core really shines when you hook it up to the Azure devops package. Which is perfectly fine for us, we’re in bed with Microsoft anyway
