If you have enough cash and in house engineering skills to pull this off it makes sense. You get full control over the baseband firmware, power management, supply chain, cost, integration, process, security surface, everything.

I can confirm I have fucked up on numerous occasions which resulted in NPEs which caused business processes to fail spectacularly and write off millions of dollars instantly. Fortunately in every case it was possible to recover, replay or

Oh no looks like I will have to commit my crimes on paper, with cash and in person. More seriously though I’m accepting this as the status quo and keep things I need to keep secret airgapped from the public internet and devices.

Just wear a buff over your face. The batteries don’t go flat on those.

Am I an outlier as I had three kids when I was a sedentary fatty? Got super fit and healthy now and have no desire or interest in that sort of stuff!

Good job Russ Cox. Despite initial concerns around this the right decision was made. Opt in is the morally correct choice for any software community. Notably I will opt into this where it is appropriate.

In fintech operations. Salary is very much fine over this side of things. In fact we get paid more than our US counterparts.

Quite happy working in the UK still. There is no brain drain past the usual one related to being a tiny island but there is a shortage of staff. And we get paid handsomely not to fuck off :)

Yes agree with that which is exactly what the second half of my post is about. Google should not be advertising competitors when you directly search for someone. If you search for Thai restaurant then yes. But not for a specific business. A

Yes I temporarily lost £350 via paypal and eBay. I sent some amateur radio equipment to someone via UPS tracked fully insured. Was signed and delivered. The buyer decided to return it immediately (suspicious) but I had no choice. I received

This. They can and will steal money out of your account if your cards don't work.

by unxdfa 4y ago
Actually you don't want to use credit cards between yourself and PayPal. They play a finger pointing game that can last months. Been there. I eventually had to small claims the CC company (MBNA Europe, now LLoyds) which took weeks. The

If your money isn't in either cash in your hand or in a fully regulated bank somewhere then you're probably fucked. When doing business I expect to be paid by direct bank to bank transfer, regardless of how small the amount is. Ev

Better to run docker native than docker desktop. Doesn’t leak.

I’ve run 120 containers in native docker on it and it worked fine :)

Completely agree. For me it’s a trade off. I’d rather use Linux on the desktop myself but it doesn’t work for me or the business I work for.

I understand that corporations are bastards and built on foundations of the crushed skulls of children and involuntary human sacrifice but Office on the Mac is not a bad product and is improving. But the windows version has just been around

I did for ages. But there’s an impedance mismatch for a lot of people. Sometimes it’s a square peg for a round hole.

It’s Unix but it’s not Linux. When Linux is your target it makes sense to use it on your development stack entirely. The irony being that Microsoft seem to make the best Linux OS for development for my use cases of docker / server side

In the same situation. I’ve unfortunately realised that “worse is better” applies to hardware too if it supports the software you need.

Ah ok I used them twice. Had no problems.

By the time it's out of warranty you can afford a fully working parts mule off ebay to leave lying around.

Spot on. Comparing to Apple (I run both Lenovo and apple kit) I’ve lost two bits of hardware with apple for multiple days on repairs in the UK. A friend just got told that there’s a 2 month turnaround on his custom M1 MBP 16 which has a lo

Yes you cant just turn up and throw them all in the fire. You have to unpick them slowly. That was his mistake.

Yes I’ve been in three now. Running a corporate like a collection of bootstrapped startups with trusted, invested staff and autonomy is the sweet spot. That dies the moment a large enterprise client makes risk demands. Of course the large e
