   I used to be a performance engineer for telecoms systems. Tuning & fixing performance regressions saved millions in hardware costs & software licenses (think databases, licensed by core) in the late 90s/early 2000s. It was grea

   The original Rosetta was written by Transitive, which was formed by spinning a Manchester University research group out. See https://www.software.ac.uk/blog/2016-09-30-heroes-software-e... I know a few of their devs we

   Agree 100%. An average person that just knows how to send whatsapp/text/messenger messages & make calls will get put off by the high barrier to entry. Anything more complicated than a @handle and password (maybe phone number t

   A class action lawsuit because you don't like the way that a private company, one that you are not forced to use, has designed functionality? Bit of a stretch...

   The general populace don't know much about him & don't care. The subset of people that do is just a rounding error.

   I'll save you all the bother of signing up. The dataset is currently 45 rows. Not worth looking at yet.

   $13.9 billion profit is still an insane amount of money.

    They are slowly changing iPadOS and macOS to bring them closer & closer together. I have a feeling that they are going to be one & the same in 3 or so versions.

    I'd imagine they're silent regarding it because 1) it's an active safety investigation 2) legal will be involved 3) it's frankly nobody else's business, seeing as it's a private business

    Which means it’s essentially going away. I first encountered it in 2005 when I first contracted & it has never affected me. It nearly affected me with my previous contract a couple of years ago as the business really didn’t understand i

    IR35 is going away. It got the axe in the insane mini budget a few weeks ago.

    I installed jetbrains clion via snap, not realising the implications. I spent a long long time trying to work out why it couldn’t find dev libraries installed via apt. It wasn’t until I attacked the process with truss/strace that I rea

    I have one. They’re decent quality. The iOS app is ok, but the web app is terrible. Hooks up over PoE (I have a Ubiquiti PoE setup), records to local SD card. You can also buy a box to record to as a secondary, or roll your own with various

    I'd argue that the browser is trying to be the Operating System, and we're living in some strange intermediary time before the hellscape that is "Chrome becoming a kernel & OS" happens. Good* plot for a sci-fi book

    You need to explain what happened, and what sector you operate in. Doing this support stuff on HN as a last resort & getting on the front page is crap in the first place, not feeding back is even worse.

    He's ignoring the "what type of business" questions. I'm getting downvoted. I don't care. He's ignoring it for a reason still.

    Agree. The OP account was created today. If it was a long-standing user with lots of comment history, then I’d be more inclined to wonder what was going on etc. Creating a new account on here to potentially get support is just plain wrong,

    Great post, thank you. Makes sense. Have applied for stripe myself, and was amazed there weren’t more hoops to jump through. I guess they eat the risk until a threshold, as you say.

    This is not a support forum. If you wanted some sympathy or actual decent conversation about what’s happened to you, then you’d include the industries involved / products etc. I do wonder why you didn’t.
