I find these knee jerk reactions fascinating. What about IBM do you know that makes you feel this way? What about Red Hat made you happy to continue using Fedora? What about Canonical makes you consider Ubuntu to be better for your purposes

At this point SUSE is just as niche in Europe as it is anywhere else. In an enterprise setting, why would you throw your lot in with a company that seems to change owners every few years rather than the biggest name in open source that also

Or you could behave ethically and not allow yourself to be bought.

Did they really call their markup language lame ul? Also, no one is going to Twilio for their per minute or per SMS pricing.

Presumably those that wouldn't use it. If we accept that those technologies have upsides, then the "right hands" would be those that don't take advantage of the downsides.

How would you bill the sender for this? The item is already in your local postal system by the time you know it is non-compliant. It’s a choice between not delivering the packages, having the rest of the postal system subsidise them or ask

The going rate for training to commercial level in the UK is £120k. I wonder what accounts for the difference. Pilot wages are higher than the $25k you mention. Are those regional airlines subsidising the training?

The DevRel Salon in Amsterdam, hosted by Don Goodman-Wilson, takes this approach and it’s a refreshing change from the standard meet-up format.

Brand loyalty is an amazingly powerful thing. I wonder if anyone says, “I won’t be there Gus if it isn’t an Airbus”.

One thing that stands out to me in the photograph at the top of the piece is that so many of the crowd are smiling. I always thought of such salutes as a serious, even fearful, thing. I know it is fiction but The Man in the High Castle on A

IBM already bought Compose a while back. I do wonder about latency. Unless you’re in the same zone in the same cloud, surely your queries are gonna be slow-ish.

Low-code is a pretty standard industry term, though. Maybe not for the HN crowd but Gsuite has a low-code tool now and the likes of OutSystems have been doing it for years. I’m more curious as to the name Alan.

Isn't the question whether or not you believe that a vehicle that claims to be L4 truly is L4?

It's as much part of their marketing as anything in the budget that they shared.

They’re based on chance of collision with a pedistrian and, in the UK at least, on that stretch of road’s history of such incidents. So the figure shows that if there are more pedestrians likely to get in the way of your car then you should

They do pay for drivers and other engineering work. I don’t know how it is now but Canonical was in that business. As for why OEMs don’t do it more, or why they don’t do it instead of paying for Windows licences: custom dev, testing and cer

Well, sure they’re outdated because we’re talking about stuff that happened at least ten years ago. As for benchmarks, I don’t have any but there’s plenty of anecdata elsewhere in this thread that echoes the idea that git had significant sp

The battle seemed to be between Bazaar and Mercurial for so long. Both were easy-ish to use and both were written in Python. Mercurial usually had the speed advantage but then git came along and wasn’t written in Python. Speed wise it blew

To add to that, Basque is not even Indo-European, let alone Latinate. And Breton is a Brythonic Celtic language (as opposed to the Goidelic branch, home to Gaelic) similar to Welsh and Cornish.

Even just checking the Contact Us page would show you they have their European HQ in the Netherlands. They’ve had a long history in the country.

Do you have a particular goal for doing this? Is it to practise? Or to build a reputation? Or something else? What tech interests you?

What precisely do you need help with? You haven’t given enough context for anyone to really help.

As an aside, that was a startling hire in the first place. Curry’s electronics stores, at the time, were the polar opposite of the Apple Store experience.

Can we please stop using “lifestyle business” as a pejorative for everything but hyper-growth companies? Outside our bubble that’s pretty much just what everyone else calls a business.

Kind of weird that they used a novelty fake newspaper front page to illustrate this. The Scottish Scribe is a book of mocked-up newspaper front pages attempting to show how a modern tabloid might have dealt with historic events.

I think the debt level is crazy. But it sounds like you wish you’d had a free medicine degree so that you could be free not to practise medicine. I’d think if you get the degree for free then you almost should feel more obligated to practis
