PMs are important, but for many projects it's not a full time job (having a PM that can write out things to build doesn't directly mean there's enough people to build those things). In some orgs this leads the PMs to take on

Ah yeah, I tend to not think of what we do (or at least, what I do professionally) in the software field as engineering for that reason. What we do seems closer conceptually to carpentry rather than engineering. Not that changing things to

Wouldn't engineering encompass the communication and expectations? When you design a skyscraper, you need to know what sorts of loads is expected on each floor, any height restrictions in the area (are there airplanes around?), etc. Wh

Storing phones in bags don't help with the phone being too big to hold. (Incidentally, not all women store phones in bags; but then I used to see men storing phones on those things that clip into your belt too… probably not within the

I believe they don't allow internet access during the build (so everything needs to be vendored, or things stuck into GOPATH); those packages are probably for the second option. My impression is that OpenSUSE go packaging is a bit behi

I've actually played a Ren'Py based game with a native Linux build. Eventually I switched to running the Windows version under Wine to get working sound… that was a while back though.

Rather than that, have the executive pay be delayed so that they have incentive to ensure the company is doing well in ten years. Essentially, similar to a vesting schedule.

Was XScale derived from StrongARM which was acquired from DEC? Because given the examples it sounds like "trust Intel to wind down acquisitions". Of course, that still means one would be wary of betting on them in areas that aren&

Why would Taiwan do that though? TSMC is the goosr that lays the golden egg: giving it up means America has much less reason to protect it.

Windows Home doesn't haven proper access to Hyper-V, but installing WSL 2 is relatively easy (and documented); Microsoft made special provisions for that. You can't use Docker to run Windows containers, but Linux containers (using

Linux on the desktop is already here in the form of WSLg, and will be even more popular once Android support rolls out (though that's probably more useful on tablets anyway).

I went through the tutorial, but the thing it generated at the end (that I couldn't scroll though) looked like a document (think Word or a web page)? Is there a sample result? Couldn't find anything on the page. This looks like Wi

Unfortunately I couldn't spot a good period tracking app on F-Droid (or other open source ones on GitHub); something pretty with a decent estimate when the next one would be would be nice. Does anybody have recommendations?

My understanding was that, something like a decade ago, Qt tried that. Fresh embedding API and everything. Maybe it's fine to try again? Maybe Mozilla will be more receptive this time…

But they would be paying the same money without the DRM too; they're paying to be legitimate, regardless of whether the DRM is there.

In my experience even Ethernet over powerline is better than using WiFi mesh, since there's still a wire, even if it's noisy. That is, it provided a more stable connection, even if the peak speed is not theoretically as fast. Your

As somebody currently working on something that has a mix of Node and Go, I definitely prefer github.com/somelib. In that case there's no worry about package name conflicts (everybody has equally terrible names), so you can always

Your product doesn't help this situation at all. The problem is people want capped spending for unimportant projects (just cut off service rather than accruing charges), which can only be done by AWS. You're just providing reporti

I'd argue that continuous integration is great, but continuous deployment might not be. Real customers don't need to be aware of the continuous integration, so it just keeps things (mostly) working without disrupting users. Wherea

I'd argue that HTTPS by default makes perfect sense for a _public facing_ server. For something on an internal network it doesn't make as much sense, especially since that makes using the default path for getting certificates diff
