My problem with Postman is that is very expensive for what it provides. It is $12 per user per month. Microsoft 365 Personal that comes with 1T of storage and all the standard office applications costs $7, business plan starts from $5 to $1

This stupid regulation will make life harder for whistleblowers, journalists, will help blackmailing people who are uncomfortable for the Police, government, secret services. But for sure will not make life harder for criminals, who has res

US could not lost. Japan was running out of resources - steel, oil (in fact blocked access to resources was what pushed them to the war they could not win). Maybe war on Pacific would last a bit longer, probably it will cost more lives, but

My the most favorite one is when someone pastes link in a chat to MS Office document on Sharepoint/Onedrive. It is opened in Teams and when you close the document you might naively assume you will be back in the chat you came from but

So this is Amazon rip-off (legal one, obviously) of the last Elasticseartch version having Apache license... On the one hand, this is ok. Free software is taken and extended by someone who wants to do this... Yet, I am not sure if in that p

I think there is some difference. You don't come across some piece of code by chance, you were actively looking for it, probably there were multiple blogs, SO entries with needed information, one of those sources has to be chosen. You

Why toxoplasomosis is getting trendy suddenly? I've just read another article on this that was trying to scare people, obviously without any merit [0]. Is some company creating vaccine for this and needs some marketing? The first comme

Linux on desktop odyssey again and again. I have a brand new Lenovo Legion 5 with AMD Ryzen, Nvidia 1660Ti. This is definitely not a new hardware nor it has some strange spec. Standard, rather low end stuff for about $1000. I've just i

I only hope it would not be some kind of common sentiment "you have to contribute to an open source project to earn better grade or get a job". It will end up as Huawei Linux kernel "contributions" - a lot of pointless c

It is a problem not only for indie developer. I have witnessed same problem with Borland Kylix (Borland Delphi for Linux). In general it was a great idea, IDE was good, creating Linux apps easily using RAD tool was really tempting. Having a

Ehhh, you are trying to spoil everything. With those questions answered all serious concerns become not so serious. Yes, people recover from it by themselves without even knowing they were infected. Yes, there is medicine for this. The only

Why blaming Wuhan lab leak is "nationalistic" or "caricature". China is a communistic country, it cannot care less about anything besides standard communistic agenda, gathering more power, winning more influence, spreadi

There is technology, proven, tested and old. It is nuclear energy. For some reason people prefer spending time and money on less reliable technologies like wind or solar, which require either flexible backup from traditional energy sources

I think this all depends on the complexity of operational tasks. If you have hosted MySql and a couple of servers, fine, developer can handle monitoring this. What if you have, say, DB2 cluster with HADR running, do you think you can monito

Protasevich was tracked in many countries before he entered this plane, tracked by someone doing that very professionally engaging a lot of resources. It is hard to imagine Belarus was doing this alone, without Russia support.
