It doesn't seem to be that consistent, at least in the US. In the UK about 20 years ago it seemed that most universities had a networking course that would at least get someone to the point of being able to converse with a CCNA even if

I think that's a case where a good author has chosen the publisher for some reason. They are good enough to be published by someone else but went with Packt possibly because it was an easy onboarding.

They will take on literally anyone as an author. Authorship gets you kudos in the increasingly large segment of programmer influencers.

It doesn't seem that people actually learn those things in many cases. I encounter programmers fairly regularly who struggle to grasp CPU vs memory vs I/O trade-offs and have no mastery of tools for measuring them. This is unfortu

I didn't read much of the site yet, but one way I might read your quote is as being against those who ripped the country apart after communism. I would guess that many young people see that as the last tragedy and not communism. FWIW Y

If it's an MSI-based installer, it's pretty easy to edit the MSI with Orca to remove the check. This is similar to how you'd get client software installs unblocked on Windows Server. In other cases, there are often ways to tr

As a UK citizen living overseas, I would put problems like this down to more than just underfunding. One of these is the frequent challenge with "talkers" versus "doers" and the wrong people being promoted within the bur

What happens when you work under a group of people who are satisfied at stage one of project X? You know you can iterate to get two stages further, but they want you to work on projects Y and Z. This is a very common situation where you, or

Why use the Copilot name? It's confusing because you seem to have an agnostic product.

Do you still tend to answer questions? It feels like there is a drop in quality contributors too because they got invested, but have peers engaging in the behavior you describe as a questioner. They want to take kinder approaches, but that&

I look at it in the following way: - Ruby and Rails are joined at the hip in a way that Python isn't. While Ruby is a general purpose language, it was only strongly adopted by web developers. - Rails didn't have a competent deploy

I think the first thing you need to do is get out of the programmer mindset. The problem you are solving may be closer to resolving the anxiety of leadership, or build confidence. In reality, the situation is complex and our responses may u

Do managers actually like dashboards and KPIs? Not all managers report directly into the CEO, so suffer from the problems as much as their underlings. Management want indicators of certainty and progress with the least effort possible. Supe

It sounds like you have a dysfunctional organisation as much as KPIs are a problem. KPIs and everything around them have been studied to death in more than the last 40 years, so there should be few surprises around when they are useful or n

I think that's a good point. Companies are likely going to try to neutralize this by saying that telemetry just being another kind of data that they can make safe by removing PII etc.

You don't understand the GDPR then. The focus is on controlling where data goes (not out of the EU), but your point is about telemetry in general. If you keep the data inside the EU and manage it in a way that's compliant with the

I don't follow the BBC's approaches to revenue generation that closely, but is part of this due to larger overseas audiences? I'm now living outside the UK, so I expect that I'm viewed differently as a user by the Beeb,
