You need to be a bit careful about these figures. There can be a big difference between the percentage that is collected and given to a "recycling" company, and the percentage that is a tually recycled. Councils are usually bound

0.30/kWh is really a lot. Its a massive subsidy. 0.5/kWh seems a bit mean, but it's the same as here in the UK. The main thing with solar is that it's cheaper to use what you generate. Due to the sun, you probably can&#x

I wonder how many of the commenter here have actually ridden a bike? Anyhow, one conveniently unasked question is "what do bike helmets protect the rider from" Well, it isn't collisions with cars. It is unlikely to be brain i

If you just want map tiles you don't really need much of anything. I run a map service on cheapest hetzner box, cost €4.50/month. Sure its not massive scale, but it would cost about $1000/month on mapbox (about 2m tiles). Jus

I have just set my services to run on 8080 and port mapped 80 to 8080 with iptables. Been doing this for years and never had any issue. Is this a bad idea?

I just love how a zero byte protobuf message deserialises into a valid struct. Very reassuring.

Perhaps a few comments are missing what seems to me to be the main point... its not about whether the product is cheap vs the competition. It's about the sales process... if the client was open about bandwidth estimates and has broadly

Does anyone use Google search anymore? I would have thought people had got wise to the tracking and use something else, like e.g. duckduckgo

Front running in domain names has been going on for years. Never search for domain names on a domain registrar, just use dig/host/nslookup/whatever on the command line, using a sensible resolver.

Yes, unfortunately WSGI is "broken by specification" in that all path parts are decoded before passing to the underlying application. This doesn't crop up that often, but some schemes are completely broken by it, for example

People have been integrating web services with excel for two decades. Previously you had to write a C XLL to do it properly, but COM add-ins have been supported for a long time, although have oddities, and now you can load .net assemblies i

Back in the day this was done with a bunch of paired encrypted modems, and a multiple serial port, getty, and ISDN-PRI are all probably still a thing...

AutoCAD amongst other software has been doing this for about 25+ years, I think. Clicky-clicky if you want, or just type in the command, same output. IntelliJ also, more recently, with its actions input.

Wow. Talk about solving the wrong problem! Millions of lines of code in a monolith. 20s start up time. Meta monkey patching. One unit test per process... Yikes! Software architecture, anyone? Maybe Instagram should get a copy of Michael Fea

There is a big difference in my book between starting up an in process server (requiring all sorts of grpc naming magic) running your extensions to an abstract class inside the grpc magic, and a language level interface. On the one level yo

Yeah. Easy things are easy with most technologies... It's only after a while that you start to see the 'problems'. With grpc... It's designed by Google for Google's use case. How they do things and the design trade-

This is an interesting article. However, it makes one important error. It compares the cost of hand translation with the cost of auto translation, but fails to account for any time developing the translation tool, as it was done "in my

Webpack just makes me so sad. It is slow, arbitrary, inconsistent and unstable. Just like gulp and grunt. I seek a proper, fast, consistent, dependency driven JavaScript build tool. Won't somebody share their make rules for .js?
