It could be somewhat hypocritical to use big cloud providers if the party is heavily anti-corporate, but even then... who cares? You can very well be in favor of regulating companies whose services you rely on, and accept the consequently i

I think you're referring to XSL. The heavy lifting is done by the transformation language (XSLT), but XPath is definitely an underlying tool.

Exactly, it's a high risk & potentially high reward long term investment.

Are you suggesting Nadella will sacrifice the long term vision of Microsoft for personal gain?

It sounds like a pessimistic outlook. I can name a few high profile OSS projects with proactive communities around them, but not one with the typical toxic office drama. Can you share some examples please?

I'm not so sure he claimed that Excel can't add and subtract numbers. I think the argument is that even two people can make such a mess of a spreadsheet that nobody can really untangle it later.

What part of it makes you suspect intentional vagueness? There are still technical scenarios for which the law has not been tried, and no consensus exists among experts. Much confusion, in my opinion however, comes from overinterpreting the

Not wearing your glasses is a terrible idea if you have astigma (eye ball deformation). If I let my eye muscles work, my vision would actively deteriorate.

Not only that research data can become anonymous, but there can be a valid legal basis to continued handling of personal data, such as fulfilling a contract. There is so much misunderstanding around GDPR, it's frightening.

No no no you don't understand, the end users NEED drag and drop (and loading indicators, and slooow and heavy pages to admire those indicators).

It's absurdly expensive to be an audophile, I couldn't get into it. The used market is very lacking in my area unfortunately.

Yea, it seemed a weird speculation that going after Trump using WaPo would be a serious reason behind the onboarding. They already publish a ton of heavyweight criticism... and I think there is no new information that could persuade those t

Ew, that's a deadly dose of office politics waiting to blow up. Guess I haven't read the guide on how to make a toxic & dysfunctional workplace.

How do you begin a complete rewrite without stakeholder approval? Please advise.

I felt bamboozled when I first heard about nspawn. It's like docker but well integrated into systemd. How come there is so little discussion about it? Is the tooling lacking?

I'm a sporadic viewer, but it's not clear what you mean by a streaming platform inevitably having issues?

Damn that must have been a tough discussion to start. I've been burned by similarly brave moves. I, too, consult the inner stoic, and with increasing frequency it recommends silence.

But also why conflate the arrangement of performance sensitive digital procedures and the social structure behind several billion people living on the same planet? You should optimize for very different metrics.

Hang in there, buddy! Once the fire burns again, you'll be cranking out code like a freshman. Do you have a separate room for home office? Changing it a bit might help. Ask your kid to make a painting to put on the wall (actually, I sh

Are you sure he misrepresented science? On the contrary, I get the impression that Alan took scientific discoveries and matched those onto his philosophical stances. He objected to the personal beliefs of the stereotypical scientist, and pu

I listen to Alan Watts quite regularly, and always fascinated by the broad range of sciences he can tap into. Even more interesting given the criticism he has towards academia.

Do you refer to the markup jungle, or the VisualEditor? Because from the outside, the new editor looks fantastic, and honestly makes me want to self-host MediaWiki again.

Interesting analogy! I was very much looking forward to OpenShift/OKD to be "the Ubuntu" of K8s, but their targeted scope just keeps getting bigger (or it always has been big, not so sure anymore). On the other end, K3s from
