Worked for myself for two decades. While I enjoyed the freedom, it has its downsides (e.g. no sick pay). I work for a large corporation now and enjoy it a lot. Strong unions ensure good pay and great, family friendly working conditions. I e

That is not quite correct. First of all, Russia cannot simply sell to China and India. It takes years to build the necessary infrastructure to do that. Regarding import terminals: there are LNG terminals all over Europe that are far from th

You can also just use regular webcomponents and make re-usable components regardless of frontend or backend usage.

Didn’t know that was possible just using SQL. Thanks for the tip!

It's not. Implementing the OIDC flow from scratch takes half a day to get working and maybe a week to polish. Using available libraries you can do it way faster of course.

I've seen a SaaS app team who couldn't implement OIDC because their login screen is actually some kind of maven plugin (so they don't control it). They can't move to the latest version of that plugin that does supports O

I applaud WorkOS for the idea (even if I also hate the name). The sheer amount of externally developed apps that don't manage to authenticate to our IdP is staggering. I've had a dozen calls with developer teams, walking them step

I built a really shitty version of linkedin for people in my school to stay in touch after graduation (in 1998 i think). People were really using it and pressing me to improve on it. I just didn't care and at some time just deleted it

My first thought when I read this article was: Dude, I used this probably 20 years ago and even then it had copy and paste between devices and drag and drop. The case with this, though, is - as the article says - it just works. That's

Interesting. I have the complete opposite experience. HiDPI works great and consistently looks better on macOS than on Ubuntu, e.g.. I'd love to hear what your DevOps issues are. I got an M1 laptop a few months ago and at that point ev

There is currently a move to disable issues (in opensource projects) and the driving factor behind this, is that other people can basically put stuff on your todo-list. What would be better: - make issues read-only for non-members - track p

Unless privacy == security (i.e. operational security need privacy). It's laughably to take over Telegram accounts (or just join as an invisible listener) and because nothing is encrypted, you get the full message history. Telegram has

I'm really mad, thanks for asking. This is a really stupid move and I hope it will somehow hurt Apples ecosystem.

Nah. If I know your phone number, I hack you voicemail box in no time and then I can just access your Paypal account and you can do nothing against it. Just because you added a phone number to that account.

Germany here. We're fine being mocked for being white, thank you very much. Even my neighbors from Gambia, Spain or Columbia are fine with that as a reminder for our shitty history, to keep the remembering alive to never repeat that sh

The British variant spreads faster than you can possibly vaccinate people. In Germany the case numbers are still going down, but if you look at the wildtype and B.1.1.7 separately, the wildtype is going down while the British variant is in

True. I've heard some devs are spending at least some time to optimize their games to work better with Proton.

That is not correct. I've had people complain they couldn't read my articles on Medium and I never took part in the partner program.

Well, they already have a working money making scheme. Going opensource doesn't change that. Threema has 3 sources of income AFAIK. A per install fee for regular users, a special client for enterprise users and the same for schools. No

Seriously, though: Audio or updates not working on Linux is a thing from >10 years ago. I guess it depends on your distro of choice, but I haven't seen an Ubuntu machine with these problems in a long long time. You install it and ev

I would really go with regular Ubuntu for the best support. It really just works and you don't need to put any effort in getting things running smoothly. I went from Ubuntu to macOS as my daily driver because the company switched to Ma

Me, too. Seafile is another good example. Gogs was great nbut the sbdfl went awol too often. Its fork Gitea still has many Chinese devs, though and is one of my favorite projects with Asian roots.

If you're open to PHP, I found the perfect tool for myself. The Laravel framework has an ORM called Eloquent. Usually it maps models to database tables (hence ORM) but you can also bring it to get its rows from a CSV which it then maps

If universities were tax funded, they wouldn't have to endanger their students now (and costs would be way lower, of course, as they are in the rest of the world).

There is no base to this being done. What they are doing is starting phase 2 and phase 3 trials on vaccines that haven’t survived phase 1, yet. Under normal circumstances this would be extremely uneconomical.
