Is the USAs debt really “crippling”? It’s enormous and looks dangerous on a graph, but if the country wanted to, it could pay it off in a couple of hard years considering it’s “onl…

How do you know though. Maybe business are simply investing less money into Facebook because the ROAS isn’t 6-10x times anymore. Maybe 100% or this is on Apple, but maybe it’s also…

It’s anecdotal but the adds I get on DuckDuckGo by it matching what I search for tend to be better than the targeted adds I get on Google or Facebook which are typically advertisem…

> if executed right I think this right there is the biggest issue for the companies that sell consumer data. Google has had so many golden eggs, office365 before Microsoft, the clo…

Maybe, but those of us who grew up in the wake of Chernobyl are likely never going to support nuclear power regardless of the facts. You can ignore that fact, but that doesn’t mean…

Import is slowly becoming the standard, but working with typescript professionally modules has easily been the most annoying part of the Node experience. It works pretty well, and …

There are a lot of assumptions about Microsoft in this thread and they basically all boil down to people not understanding what it is Microsoft does. They sell solutions to non-IT …

Which is his right, at least if you support free speech. It’s no different from people refusing to buy products that are made in sweatshops or whatever else you can think of. Spoti…

I think your definition of storytelling is too narrow. When I took “storytelling” as a university class 20 years ago it had nothing to do with having moving parts on a website, but…

In decades of software development in Danish enterprise and smaller companies I’ve never worked in a place that didn’t use windows. I don’t think I’ve worked in a place where using…

You’d wonder why they have corporate sales. I’ve worked in enterprise for a long time and we’d laugh at the notion whenever someone suggested we buy any Google service because easy…

I recently picked up TypeScript and I sort of agree with the author. It’s just so much cleaner to use Types instead of enums. That being said, I don’t think enums are bad if there …

You can fire people for misconduct. If I had an employee that I repeated told not to get drunk and crawl around hitting on coworkers. I would fire that person if they didn’t stop. …

Metzen Knew about the toxic “bro-culture” while he was in one of the management positions directly above some of what turned out to be the worst sexual offenders, and did nothing a…

I agree, but how do you boycott China? Every piece of hardware that I own has parts in them that was manufactured in China and where I live there aren’t alternatives. I too deleted…

> This already allows autocomplete for the attributes to work. So does the other way around in several SQL engines. If you write something a long the lines of select x.ID, y.NAME f…

I build and operated an employee database in accordance to the Danish OIO model for years, I even sat on a comity to define either models within the OIO model set for the public se…

That means onedrive for business uses sql server as it uses sharepoint online, interesting.

I’m curious as to why you find sql to be clunky, I find it extremely on point in most cases. I mean, how would you write a SELECT that was better than: SELECT whatever FROM thispla…

I’m an external examiner for CS students and around 90% of the subjects we test them in is stuff they’ll never use in the real world. It’s obviously anecdotal but in several decade…

This is less about democracy and more about basic human decency and human rights. Everyone should have the right not to be abused by the rich and powerful.

At the very least you should put solar cells above the parking lot.

I used to work for a big public organisation, we had numerous SMS providers over the years. Most of them used HTTP (notice the lacking S) as the protocol and accepted simple POST a…

I understand this management philosophy well, but it’s also very dangerous because you risk hiring people like me, who share salary information with everyone that wants to. A few d…
