I think the slow pace on carbon footprint will end up biting Amazon in the ass. The public sector of Europe is busy moving our infrastructure into the “public cloud” and carbon emissions are going to be one of the key deciding measurements

I think a lot of people under 20 view climate change as an immediate and existential threat. Students have been skipping education to protest this for most of 2019 all over Europe. I don’t think we’ve seen a movement like this since the hip

We’ve worked with Microsoft for decades and I personally really like them as an enterprise partner, but I’m just not seeing those sweeping cultural changes you are. They’ve certainly opened up, they’ve even open sourced .Net with core. It w

I’ve made the same transitions from win to Linux to Mac and for the same reasons. I’m going back to Linux though. I’ve used windows professionally all that time and Windows 10 is the least productive it’s ever been, for me anyway. It’s just

We once had a Cisco phone setup that didn’t really have a test-system, and I was tasked with automating phone creation/updates for around 5000 employees. The documentation for the API wasn’t very good at explaining what each setting wa

I wonder how many people on HN have even seen a TI-83, I don’t think I’ve seen one since I sold mine when I finished the Danish equivalent of high school in 99. I mean, they were apparently discontinued in 2004, that’s 15 years ago.

They’ve been showing up in my circles a lot recently. I work in the public sector and we’re pretty much all windows, and that’s sort of the problem with it. Or at least my problem with it. It’s genuinely a great device, I’ll admit that I’m

I’m not on Instagram, but I don’t think this issue is really confined to social media. I’ve become quite concerned about is how advertising is drowning out useful information everywhere else as well. We recently had a baby girl, our first,

Wouldn’t this be a GDPR violation, unless you harvested consent first?

Our IT is two things, one is helpdesk the other is “tech”. Tech handles servers, networking, security and Azure and only really offer support for developers like me.

I work for the city of Skanderborg in Denmark and we do a few things to avoid it. One is to monitor our entire storage for malicious code and automatically isolate suspicious activity. Another is to do frequent backups of everything on our

I’ve made sort of the opposite journey. I’ve worked with C# for a decade, but because IoT and ML has exploded around me I’ve picked up python and now use it more and more. I really like .Net Core, but as with everything, the more you use it

Privacy often guides my tech choices, I do have a Facebook account for events but I don’t use their apps and I only log in when I’m invited to something. I try to use DDG though it’s almost impossible to avoid google in my language. And so

Isn’t JavaScript a similar story within its ecosystem? A lot of the new flashy things get a lot of attention, but all the jobs are for Angular. It’s very anecdotal of course, and react does have some traction, but it’s almost all Angular. I

I have an old friend who’s been working with PHP for almost two decades. We’ve teased him a lot over the years “because PHP”, but the truth is that in 2019 PHP is actually rather relevant. Everything is becoming a web-app, even major enterp

It kind of already is, but there isn't a coordinated global effort of any kind. Every GIS department has an unbelievable amount of mapping information. Because we need to, and because a lot of governments, especially in Europe, it&#x27
