    > RDF/EAV is more graph than relational structured. It doesn't solve the exact same problem. Yeah 100% this. Comparing a graph data model and a relational data model while obviousl…

    I'm self-taught and I got my first job through going to user groups and scoping out what was going. Second job was with a much more difficult problem domain, but I'd taught myself …

    11 or 10 paid holidays? Do you mean that's the total number of holiday days you get in an entire year? Does that include public holidays?

    True, but it's a dangerous precedent. The fact is that a lot of law in areas such as traffic, waste management etc is basically meant to be fluid and a deterrent; if everybody that…

    Yeah, I don't really have any faith in legal redress so while I support the intent behind this, I'm wary about actually filling it in.

    If you add the Gemfile and Gemfile.lock to the image before you add all the application files you can cache that step IIRC, then only if that step changes will bundle install run, …

    I've spent literally the last week working out restart strategies for our critical containers, so it's fair to say this has something pretty world-changing as I might be able to sh…

    Mountable volumes and data containers works for us in staging atm, you can easily spin up single task dockers to pull that out, tar it up and send to S3 as a backup regime as well.…

    I refused, and then uninstalled the main app. Their required permissions for the Android apps were getting ridiculous.

    Don't freak out too much. Make a list of the minimum list of skills you need to do a non-trivial project solo, and learn those. Once you've got that base you can expand out, and if…

    By that measure the Beatles could be said to be from Hamburg, as that was also formative for their career. Even internationally, I would argue that 'Cavern Club' and 'Beatles' are …

    It is true. As much as any other industry, the music industry is entirely about connections and who you know. This is an interesting article about the biggest new pop music station…

    I also like the new design a lot, though I do agree to some extent about the contrast issue. On a retina monitor it's no worries, but on my external it could probably suffer greate…
