It sounds good, then you try and get a TER (regional train) and find there is one or two a day, using old rolling stock, overcrowded for an exorbitant price. So if you want to take…

There is also CoMaps ( https://www.comaps.app/ ) which is a fork of Organic Maps, after concern over the governance of Organic Maps https://itsfoss.com/news/organic-maps-fork-comap…

Unless I misunderstand, AWS SnapStart and their memory snapshots are the same feature (taking memory snapshots to speed up cold start). It doesn't seem a fair comparison to ignore …

I'm not sure I understand your point. Just because the country is large doesn't necessarily mean that you need larger fire trucks? (Or that America needs a one size fits all approa…

The main reasons for micro services (that I didn't see covered) is that it reduces cross team overhead. 10 people working on a service is fine, 100 people working on a service requ…

The interesting thing is that it that night trains can be quicker if you consider the waking. e.g. Zurich to Berlin - the train leaves at 8pm and gets in at 7am. So it is 2-3 wakin…

Immich ( https://www.immich.app/ ) is still under heavy development, but looks like it will hit most of those requirements (but not automatic album generation).

4 out of the 5 people I know with Garmin watches need the battery life while tracking to exceed 8 hours (this watch lasts 1 hour). I doubt any of them are going to see this and swa…

Yes. Scotland is a country that is part of the United Kingdom (which is also a country).

The goal is to help with the cost of living issues (in part caused by high gas costs) and I think reducing CO2 is secondary. Additionally I suspect trains (at least electric ones) …

For context, the example from the Serde wiki written in Java using Jackson public record Point(int x, int y) {} // [...] var objectMapper = new ObjectMapper(); var jsonString = obj…

Maybe they are a bad interviewer? In my view, if the answer involves a topological sort the interviewer should know how to solve it and be able to follow and find errors in the can…

No, the moka pot is different from a percolator. A percolator produces coffee in a method similar to drip coffee, where as the moka pot produces coffee under pressure (making it sl…

Which is fine - if you have a deeper understanding of the US laws than most non US citizens. As far as I (from the UK) had read in the news it was legal in a lot of states and so m…

This is a Pilots Association saying they should be banned, not the government banning them.

The increasing in welfare spending seems to be a result of increasing spending on pensions though? http://www.ukpublicspending.co.uk/spending_chart_2006_2016UK...

They seem to have thought of that: "Unless you elect otherwise, Dash Button responds only to your first press until your order is delivered"

I think you need either code reviews or pair programming to ensure quality and bring developers up to a more even standard. However I am not as fond of pair programming for ensurin…

Totally worse. free(NULL) preforms no action so there is no requirement for the if statement. ;)

I am not sure I see the point in implementing MapReduce when most of the current work seems to be in generalising MapReduce - i.e. Apache Spark and YARN. Is there any reasoning beh…

Safety, how do you know the car is safe, what do you do if it has a leak, etc etc. A single unit that can be tested and properly maintained is a far better idea. You also then requ…

Their comment that no one has yet to "beat" threes is in my opinion part of the problem. I get a kick out of beating something, having reached some goal (often in competition with …
