Awesome thanks, that'll be a helpful addition :)

Yep, came here to say this. I dislike when companies do this; even more so when they say you need to pay - and even THEN they don't give a price: "Pay once. No subscriptions"

Not anymore. Many ad networks have rolled out their 'CLS' solutions for the upcoming Google Web Vitals algo change, and ads don't jump about anymore on these networks. Example ad networks that work well with delayed ads (that

Not sure if I'm missing something, but the pricing of Creative Cloud has always been made very clear from the order form: "Monthly Plan - £75.85/mo" "Annual plan, paid monthly - £49.94/mo" "An

Fiverr, order with someone who does 2 or 3 concepts. Heck, order from two different people - each of whom do 2 or 3 concepts. Less than $50 for a range of choice. Simple.

In my experiences so far, people's wealth often has nothing to do with business success. I say often because of course a tiny fraction of wealthy people are successful after spending an inherited fortune, but more often than not su

Nice work Michael, awesome to see such a big growth in your business this year. Interesting that it came from a specific (but clearly very useful) physical product too, instead of a software based solution.

I agree, but it also doesn't help when the Labour opposition have had a string of weak opposition leaders. Even Keir Starmer seems content to sit back and only critise the Government's response the day or days after a grim milesto

An interesting research paper, thanks for posting it. I've recently been fairly interested in smart homes, which (alongside WiFi) often use ZigBee and/or Z-Wave protocols. Whilst Z-Wave isn't covered in this paper, ZigBee (wh

This had always been my goal too. 20% less pay for 50% more leisure time each week = winning.

I did this 2 days ago, it's the exact same. I used a simple one-liner find/mv command to move all JPGs into the same folder... which made it more decent.

Agreed. I'll probably be downvoted, but these setups strike me as people who prefer to drink the cool aid than be pragmatic and only use what they need. I've also had very high reliability rates with a single VPS. They've act

Two Hetzner CPX31 boxes sounds like it'd do just fine here too, providing the redundancy you mention for a fraction of the cost. Or get the boxes from different companies, for the same sort of overall price. Yes some of the other tools

I'm obviously not rhinoceraptor, but a lot of what they said seems correct to me (speaking as someone who's interviewed others a lot, but never used at-home code assignments as part of the process). _Some form_ of error handling a

A great write-up. Two interesting points: 1) No Ansible. No Kubernetes, nor containerisation. Starting on a single server/vm and controlling deploys with a bash script. 2) An interesting take on microservices: "One server, one ser

That it's easy to 'like' someone based on their public persona - what the media reports, how they come across in blog posts, or how they seem on social media. But in reality, some people are nothing like what their public ima

Upvoted because you provide a detailed and calm post (which ironically is being downvoted!). The internet does do a lot of good, but I don't think that it has increased negativity. Instead, it's made it easier to communicate and s

Software development is a very young and immature field compared to many fields/industries. I mean, the Hippocratic Oath and _some_ form of organised medicine has been around for 2,500+ years. Modern manufacturing has been around for a

Some companies spend longer than six months to discuss/agree to a 'major version upgrade' of software. Naturally the gap between (say) Java 10 and 11 is fairly small, meaning it shouldn't take many months to merely discu

That's very concerning! I live in a Labour safe seat in Wales so there's basically no campaigning here, but I was wondering what the situation is in marginals. The Super Pacs is a good example - it does sound like the Tories are (

I agree that the Tories tend to spend more, although the unions are a fairly big funding source for the Labour party. And the Lib Dems and UKIP/Brexit Party show that small parties can pull in large donations. FWIW, spending isn't

The Conservatives have also been buying Google Ads at a higher CPC than Labour, for Labour related terms. In other words, a search for "Labour party" was showing https://www.costofcorbyn.com/ (a Tory-funded site)

I agree that GitHub's uptime is better, but I doubt that Gitlab aren't at 99% availability - that'd mean over 14.4 minutes of downtime each day.
