GDPR fines are scaled on revenue to prevent for precisely this reason

I think she needs some kind of counselling or mentoring because working long stretches like that is not going to lead to long term gain as she's already noticed with her health. Th…

That doesn't make it any less true.

Absolutely fascinating, I never knew these existed, thank you.

You're equating our currently accepted laws of physics as being the only true set of physical laws. How naive to assume that what we know now is the only truth.

And conversely just because one story is not 100% true doesn't mean that every story is not true, which is what most academics appear to assume.

I strongly disagree that CPAN is the best package manager. The CPAN repository might be one of the largest for a specific language, but the cpan comnand line is aegul, you can't ev…

I don't see how it's an operating system. Did I miss something in the article?

We have Bitbucket on our own servers, and we're moving it back to either Atlassian's hosting or to Github. The reason being that we spend far too much time per month hand holding t…

Don't blame, educate.

Well the UK creates laws so that banks can't lose out, why can't we do it for the rest of the country instead of just the fat lazy bank owners?

And that's the attitude that leads to the cure glut of IOT hardware with significant security bugs or no security at all. Build it fast and ship asap is not a sound plan for any so…

"the carrot" I see what you did there.
