Fortunately the impact to us was quite small, but it's definitely left a sour taste in my mouth as far as azure functions go. The whole story regarding organizing the code, breaking changes between versions, confusing plans, different

There’s a nice bug with azure functions where it reports the environment it’s running in as “development” when it should be “production”, which means the app uses the wrong settings. Nothing in the documentation to mention this, you just ne

At a previous company I used slack and really liked it. At this new company I joined recently they use Teams and it felt like a ghost town. Nobody online and nobody communicating in public. The reason is that it’s impossible with the deskto

Hats off to the lispers, they do some cool stuff. I think treating code as data they just have a different view of what computation means to the rest of us (or to me at least!)

I understand the point of the downloading media over wifi rather than mobile data. What I'm saying is that once I'm "offline" I can't navigate to a screen where I can click play on them

I was very sorry to notice Spotify getting worse and worse. It seems that now the app won’t display anything without an internet connection, or certain items that were downloaded don’t appear in the list. What’s the point of downloading son

I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion. She mentions chemo once in passing, but not when she went through it. Her profile says she joined Twitter in 2009, so quite a long time. Anyway, what do you think she'd be addicted to

I got the feeling she wanted to write something pithy in response to current events (understandable as she's a good writer), but it was eating up her time. She mentions the site effectively stopped her reading books. It's also biz

I absolutely abused this functionality when I first started out as a junior and now I cringe thinking about the poor developers that are stuck with that codebase.

You really don't see anything wrong with the mistreatment of animals? Not even the animals people commonly have as pets?

For anyone else thinking to visit when it's hot: there are trees and shade around the beer garden "Luftgarten". You'll be thirsty for a beer after walking along that long runway too

Our "Anglo" nations are mostly monolingual, but take it for granted that everyone else should speak English. As a result we sometimes forget how much effort was put into learning it, probably partly because we ourselves never achi

Ireland is still a member state. Plus, they'd have to decide on another common language. Would they rather it be German?

That's just reminded me that phone booths were usually filled with advertisements for "escort services". I'm sure it wouldn't take long for this to come back in this brave new world

Really nice game/tutorial. The best job interview I ever had was framed like this. The interviewer told me there was a bug in the system and had a stack of pages he'd printed out that would provide successive clues as to what caus
