Unfortunately we live in an age of idiocy where anyone will sell their soul for a smaller fee and less privacy. There's no winning against that so you have to deal with this from t…

You'd make a good politician because you make a bad human now with all that word twisting.

Entirely agree! But blaming everything on climate suddenly isn't the right answer. Perhaps someone lost a ship load of PCP in the sea and they just snuffed it. And they're trying t…

That's not what I'm saying. I can't make it much clearer than: a) suddenly out of the blue, a Ford Transit mutates into a toaster. b) someone is "pretty sure it is related to the i…

Problem is we have about 50% certainty...

There's a pretty big assumption in there. That the comet is approaching earth and not going to miss it by half a parsec or that the comet is infact a bit of dirt on the lens of the…

This is exactly the problem. There should be no activism and no causes in science. Each of them implies bias and results in less than ethical practice and unreliable theories. To a…

None. However svn prevents them doing anything major unless they tell someone.

You never know with git. Which is one of my big problems with it. The picture on master doesn't necessarily represent what happens on other repos across your organisation.

Not sure why you're downvoted. That's bad science regardless of how you look at it. The use of the word "climate" in a quote is a big indicator of bad science as it happens to pay …

I disagree. The tools are awful and terribly slow to execute at best. Then you occasionally get shafted with a relabel.

Interesting approach and one I hadn't considered. Thanks for the heads up.

Actually I had a nice dedicated box until 2013 at a reputable host in the UK. Unfortunately I no longer wished to fish out for £95/month for it. Still had problems even though the …

I'm not sure why you were downvoted - it's a valid solution. To be honest, I'd rather see DCE/RPC (DCOM's ancestor) make an appearance without some of the pain points of DCOM.

Don't bother running a mail server. It's hell. I did from 1998 until about last week. I started running it on a cable modem with an old Compaq desktop, migrated to a dedicated serv…

Spot on. I can't say enough good things about COM; it's enabled some quite amazing things for me over the years and really top notch distributed systems that are easy to manage.

Fantastic - thanks for the link.

I wonder what Andrews and Arnold's approach to this problem will be. They're the last bastion of common sense in the UK.

MVC is really easy to test. This example just completely ignores concepts as programming to interfaces, composition and single responsibility.

This. Plus its fucking miserable dying slowly over the space of 20 years. I've watched it happen to so many people. Avoid work, retire early, spend everything, eat everything, do w…

Just want to mention that some of the internals of this aren't great. There's absolutely no decoupling which makes testing very difficult and the contextual stuff is horrid. The co…

That's not much. Our baseline config HP DL380s come with 64GiB RAM (!!)

Wasn't aware of the C65. I'd not have bought one myself. In 1990/1991 there were a lot better machines on the market. Unfortunately my only Commodore experience was the Amiga 2000.…

Ok perhaps the personal attack was uncalled for. Please accept my apologies.

That's exactly my point. It's not limited to the Linux core team. We divide into working groups of 2-3 people max to avoid this. Works quite well.
