It's covered after the first paragraph of the article. There are lots of apps that could be published as public apps, but you don't want to add confusion to regular users. If Acme publish apps to the store for the public, they may

It seems they have arrested some of the decline since Jony Ive left. The newest MacBook Pro has gone back to a formula that works well with processors that blow away the competition. Things are less rosy on the software side though.

People have mentioned here that a Heroku-like layer would be incompatible with k8s. Based on the description of k8s as a distributed OS, I don't understand how to reconcile these things. I'd want to deploy a k8s infrastructure, bu

This is tangential, but it could similarly be used to describe many support teams which staffed by non-technical folks, or are cut off from engineering for cultural, political, etc. reasons. It's a complete waste of energy, but for var

A lot of comments don't seem to acknowledge the importance of UX to leveling up security. Historically, security products have had terrible UX with everyone working around these and introducing more risks. 1Password is doing a great se

They were available per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maytag#Maytag_International . The problem is that they didn't fit with typical requirements in a European home with their cost and space requirements. This rele

Maytag was sold in the UK too although distribution was limited. UK urban and suburban homes, especially, have more space constraints than the US. The market was limited to commercial and larger homes (built by owners, mansions, etc.) We go

The other posts so far cover all the immediate mistakes I've seen first hand. If you can use new tech on these jobs it'll also keep your skills up. If you are banging out similar things with the same tech it can be stagnating. I&#

If you are anxious about traveling, then you are likely to over prepare for every scenario you think you might encounter. It is difficult for someone in this situation to do what you suggest because the asking whether something is really ne

To me it means "being a better visitor" and "providing a better visit". The idea of living like a local is very extreme and not what I think the person that you replied to was really suggesting. The use of the term &quot

I don't think that's it at all, as long as it's not going to absolute extremes. Let's say you are part of a tour, then you are cooped up with people the whole time. You are going to be experiencing all of the same things

You are right that Synology (or an equivalent appliance) is often best. It's more complicated for geeks and data hoarders once we've been using a Synology for a while. When people go down the Synology path they are often running a

I can understand having setup a company inside an EU country, but the lesson I got as a developer is that I need to think bigger if you want to have a sustainable business. You can build and validate startup ideas very cheaply by either usi

The costs you list are dwarfed if a company scales to any reasonable size and by that point they have enough of a team to consider moving elsewhere in the EU to better manage them. In fact, moving to the US might open up as an opportunity w

It would be good to eventually see some comparisons running some average/unoptimized code. IME benchmarks seem to focus on either the very basics, or select areas where they are faster than other apps. This is important to cover, but h

That is a courageous choice as others have said. You are ultimately doing the right thing for yourself and others. There is possibly an opportunity in the transition if you are staying with the company to set yourself up with some dev work

People don't appreciate how much of an impact C++ had on C#. People consider it a Java clone, but the first version had many features to support a large segment of C++ (COM) developers that Microsoft wanted to move to .NET. This brough

What you describe only becomes a bigger problem with staff turnover. It gets to a point where fewer people know the ins and outs of the setup and are prepared to maintain it. You end up burning out a few people, or bringing in people just t
