Not terrible but I think it should have a clause that if they stop supporting it (go out of business) it drops to apache or something. Their call of course; not for anyone else to say. We would use it like this but would need to sign a cont

This sounds like great work; been playing with graph dbs lately and it makes things easier. I was hoping though that there would be an effortless offline component to it though; maybe I missed it but there seems to be none? We have been try

You jest, but the dutch tax IT systems are a horror show. Many bugs and slow (think they still have Tandem mainframes in the basement). Many people are personally affected by the bugs, including myself.

It works well-ish in general, but it is rife with ambivalence, noise, lack of recall and bias. I find it horribly inefficient for my work on it’s own and as someone who grew up with the teachings of older generation programmers (most extrem

Also, the other way around, when you hire a senior and they insist on using that crap, they are more likely to scam you as you cannot dispute hours made ‘if the recorded screens show code’.

Do you use the spyware tools they want you to use ‘for your and their protection’? As a senior engineer and not in kindergarten, I cannot imagine anyone with over a year or so experience doing that.

I got everything frozen over a 10k payment by my employer which the bank had the contract and prior transfers (same amount) of. I had to come to the bank office to clear it up; I was (of course) on the other side of world then trying to pay

There are those of course, but yes I would like to see more; I really don't want to know anything about it as long as I know it's done according to best practices considering security and such.

I would like self driving cars because I find any travel that I have to do myself a waste of time and life. I like hiking but not to get from a to b. Bikes don’t make that better but possibly slower and more dangerous. Why not learn from H

I am against not filming the police and indeed it makes injustice happen. Seems not as rife as the US, however that might be because it is less reported, I do not know. I think police should at least have functional body cams at all tim

Note that in, for instance, Spain and in public this would not be allowed without permission of the people you are photographing or filming. Depending on the case, the fines are quite out there. So you can demand people from not filming yo

Many (most?) people like wallowing in negativity; it is somehow addictive. It really helps just not doing that, at all, ever. It takes some training to really force yourself to leave those thoughts, but it will make life a lot better. In my
