No it wasn't always like it. I used to subscribe to it from the early 2000's onwards and eventually cancelled my subscription about 5-6 years ago as it did become apparent how much of it was politically motivated or cosmopolitan n

Listening to the likes of Gartner. They pretty much said words to the effect of software development would all be outsourced to India back in 2001 and I took my hands off the keyboard and focused on the process side of things. Fast forward

You're potentially in for an unwelcome surprise then. I moved away from Joplin for the same issues which led to corruption and moved to Obsidian.

A very interesting angle about Alex Ferguson that isn't mentioned by the HBR is the idea of luck. Here's what Brian McClair said about Fergie: “And the other thing about him: he’s a lucky b*astard. His brother-in-law told me if he

Lost data with Joplin from weird sync and encryption issues so tried Obsidian. Within a few days I'd paid for VIP and now subscribe to sync too. It's fantastic especially with the plug-ins.

I bought their most recent harmony remote and it’s gathering dust. They designed it so to switch to a different device you have to power off the current device. Lots of people asked for this to change in their forums but their stubbornness

I've yet to read an article like this where the person had experienced Scrum done properly. Here's a check point that will tell your organisation if you've adopted Scrum properly: You fail to deliver everything you bring into

I'm surprised by your first line. In the UK it's been considered that a combination of the sea and weather has saved us on numerous occasions including with the Spanish Armada, the Napoleonic Wars and WW2. "The waters of the

I know everyone loves to give Microsoft a kicking but they have amazing customer support compared to Google. I've known people buy dodgy keys from eBay that haven't worked and have gone through MS support and had the key activated

Here's some free/low cost suggestions... 1. Listen to all of 10 hours of rain and thunder on Youtube whilst working every day. I get into a state of flow much easier listening to that than practically anything else. 2. Text import

The people behind this must have been insane and if you ever wanted an example of Sunk Cost Fallacy it’s this. The Amiga A500 had been available for 2 years when this was released.

In the UK it's generally been that funding is decent once you're up and running but poor at the angel or earlier stages. So this tends to reinforce the class system in the UK as rich kids who are connected by going to private scho

Bounce back loans are an absolutely great way to enrich the banks who can offer them to their existing customers. If you're either banking with a bank that doesn't offer them or are a would-be new customer of the BBL providing ban

The UK doesn’t because our governments screw over small business people and provide incentives to large corporations. Here’s an example- There’s a scheme called Kickstart where if you hire 30 or more young people they’ll pay the company £15

The Japanisation of white young men - hikikomori will become far more frequent I believe. They will descend into junk food, video games, porn, YouTube and depression and either no job or jobs they hate.

I see that the EU is wasting money in the same corrupt way the UK is right now with Deloitte and other consultancies. Let’s face it - our politicians are bought and paid for and local tech companies want to skim from the gravy train.

Agreed - another person attempting to jump on a bandwagon and then misrepresenting it. Why don’t these types of sites ever get content from people like Kent Beck, Jim Coplien, Jez Humble, Dave Farley or Martin Fowler? If there’s one thing

It’s solutions like this that scream “off the shelf pi-hole”. If you could buy a configurable/preconfigured pi-hole based on one of these directly from pi-hole I’d definitely buy one. Hopefully it would financially support future devel
