Coding is the tip of the 'working in software' iceberg. If you don't see value in being able to communicate the reasons behind the technical choices and trade-offs you've made, bot…

My house is in a mobile phone blackspot - no reception on any network. I tell every guest if they want to receive or make calls they have to join my wifi and enable wifi calling.

Fine, it's the threat of your guns that is doing such a grand job of keeping you all so very free. Almost 1% of US citizens are in prison. Your police forces routinely brutalise an…

Just do as the Head of Marketing from previousEmployer suggested and "leave out the bugs"

100% agree. Just want to point out that you can integrate API Gateway with DynamoDB directly (with some Velocity mapping). In fact here's a blog post from 2016 showing just that - …

The world's first commercial liquid air battery project has been commissioned to be built in Trafford, Greater Manchester, UK - it's a very residential area: https://www.gov.uk/gov…

This story hits very close to home for me. Back in 2001 I worked for a 'Medical Communications' company, building marketing websites for various drugs companies. I was young, it wa…

plantUML[0] may be what you're looking for, specifically the activity diagrams[1].I've been using it extensively for sequence diagrams (has more features than websequencediagrams.c…

I'm no fan of authoritarian regimes, but given Koch Industries history of spreading FUD for profit I am reluctant to take this at face value.

I'm sorry that this will come across as rude, but I feel like you're repeating something you've heard but didn't quite understand. You're right, it does come across as both rude an…

`is_foolike` is a bad name if you name your methods to only describe how they are implemented internally. At a high-level, in your business domain, you generally write your code to…

In this case the desired functionality can be encompassed in a single standard library method. However, the author of the code may have started with a much more complex implementat…

It has a usb-c port for MIDI-out

I can't recall ever seeing refrigerated eggs in Australia. Where do you find them?
