Arguably Saleforce. One aspect of the product is point and click editable database tables, reports, forms. Actually I think the lesser known parts of office 365 'PowerApps' have various features for point and clicking your way to

Laser mesh... There is an ongoing fight between the UK radio regulator and illegal radio stations. The regulator has detector vans, so it's a similar situation to what you describe. They can find transmittors, but their objective is to

Every time I get an underpowered developer laptop in the interests of mobility I regret it. When you do hit the ceiling, you end up doing some wierd workaround e.g. 'I'll just run all my docker on a server'. The sacrifice fo

I think when he says 'white board interview', he means 'algorithms and data structures screen, which may or may not be on a whiteboard'. So, for instance, you could give a data science applicant a dataset and pandas and

I don't know how far it generalises, but a lot of my early 30s female friends complain about how hard it is to find a long term relationship. Dates are easy to get, but explicitly looking for a long term thing puts off a lot of guys be

A friend was in China on business recently and the local corporate It department told him they were installing government required monitoring software so that he could vpn back to the US office. This might have been a misunderstanding as th

Thats interesting, it feels like that upper level you mention are more like individual contributors, except optimising very slow responding systems indirectly through policies.

'Webnovels' seem to be a growing thing. Bigger in asia than they are here, these are very long stories published in serial on novel publishing platforms like webnovel.com (english language). Sometimes the publishing platforms lock

I probably don't need to read about C++ patterns anymore, so if this was an article I'd probably have skipped. The cartoon dog was pointless but somehow made me read it. It felt like there would be a punchline.

I've been thinking about this lately because I want to rent out my flat and move abroad. It turns out that, if I take into account my mortage, building charges, and expected empty time between tenants the minimum I can charge for rent

Looking at the 'rapid DNA machines' on the market, looks like it is still STR. Someone should sell them on the idea that they can use SNP to generate an approximate photofit

What is this thing - is it a programming language or an operating system or a desktop environment?

I'm not clear which way you are arguing here. An upgrade is additonal work right? Like, an extra sprint. It turned out to be crazy expensive. The F35 programme went wrong because they built an MVP (F35A) and then decided to derive 2 ex

Do we have any evidence that Agile actually helps, and for what kind of projects / companies it helps? It's just I note this is a DOD document, and I don't think we should be desiging jet fighters in 2 week sprints. Airframes

If in a federated platform the ISP is not responsible for content they agregate, that's a big loophole. It would really encourage P2P approaches.

So usenet is dead, right? 90%, usenet ISPs are a download server pretenting to be a mail server so they can claim safe harbour. If they are responsible for auditing their content, presumably this isn't viable anymore...

I think this is where a company gets an advantage by doing real research. That is, Microsoft and Google famously hire a lot of ex-accadmics and let them do basic research not immediately related to a product. That lets them build up &#x27

If they had to, I'm sure retailers would use pricing to force a flatter purchasing pattern. If prices doubled by November, you'd shop in August right? As well as holidays there are sales. Do sales increase total yearly spend for t

Seems like he's talking about climate change, whereas you are talking about polution more generally. NO2 isn't really relevant to global warming, but isn't healthy. In the case of diesel cars, as I recall, the manufacturers b

Here in the UK, about 1000 years ago, the French invaded and took over, siezing control of the (basically German) population by replacing the top level of society. Suddely, the lords were French and the serfs were German. 1000 years later,

Reading between the lines, they had an existing app with some name recognition, probably following a bunch of advertising spend for that brand. The mistake they made was not bothering to choose a branding friendly name at the earliest stage

They didn't actually specify positive. It would be pretty easy to reduce IQ by 5+ standard deviations. Plenty of monogenic disorders cause learning disabilities, just gotta knock out those genes...

This is the best way, especially if you are freelance and might carry some of the risk or a drop dead deadline. If you do this, some people will work with you, some people will not. If you work with those people, this will not work. Sadly
