A lot of the questions listed heavily overlap with what I would expect to be covered in team retrospectives. A team reflecting on progress at regular intervals will naturally bring up processes, meetings, tools, etc, and a manager or team l

According to statcounter.com [1] there are over 4x as many Catalina users as there are Mojave users (62% vs 14% of MacOS users), so I think it's just that the people complaining about Catalina are louder. Anecdotally, I'm using Mo

Isn't it fair to say that this brings Zoom more-or-less exactly in line with the privacy vs law enforcement balance of a normal telephone call? Writing from the UK, I'm reasonably sure that (a) all my phone calls are not recorded

It's worth noting that the hijacker pushed a malicious version of 1.6.x Version 1.7.0 was released to rubygems on 8th July 2014, and 2.0.0 on 2nd July 2016, so anyone who has started using rest-client or run a `bundle update` recently

Unfortunately I'd have to disagree. Production applications belonging to paying customers are completely down - I don't think "Elevated Build and API Error Rates" quite does it justice. Note: The applications in question

In the last 5 minutes my paid dynos have just gone completely offline. Heroku's status page is doing a very poor job of reflecting that.

I can't help but be a little surprised that Heroku's entire build system is disabled by an S3 failure in one region. Now I'm unable to add a notice about the issues to my site's HTML...

The idea of testing the merge commit is a great one. Even if the test suite is able to catch the 'logical conflict' mentioned in the article, current solutions will only catch the conflict after it's merged into master. Of
