When I was a lad I had an illegal ancient motor scooter that didn't start. One of the dads told me: "If it's got compression, and it's got fuel, and it's got a spark, then it's got to go". He was right.

I wonder if Steve had the lawyers in mind he he wrote it. "I would be very pleased if your recruiting department would stop doing this". The phrase "very pleased" implies to me that there is no pressure whatsoever, but n

Feedback: I went to the site with one question in mind - what type of moderation do you use? e.g. would your services be useful to a christian social network? Or to a goth band forum? In the US? In Iceland? i.e. how do you sync your service

It's also possible that if it wasn't for the Manhattan project, there would have been nuclear armageddon in the 50s or 60s. The bomb arrived at a time when the US and Russia were allies. They were focused on winning the war. By th

It's the cycle of innovation. Like a cat retching up a hair ball. It repeats over and over, until finally something is coughed up. Except in technology it takes years instead of seconds. Just like MongoDB gaining mindshare - because we

This is all chickens coming home to roost too. If FB had invested in some decent privacy switches and education - instead of trying to dark pattern everyone to just hand over everything - then they wouldn't be in this predicament, beca

Many recruiters are sending their emails from a system, not writing them by hand. They look they came from a template, because they did. Add to that that when that recruitment system was implemented, the recruiter probably didn't bothe

This article reminds me of the fever over insect apocalypse. Techy types love to imagine swarms of tiny drones taking up the job of pollinating our plants when the bees die off. I can only imagine that anyone thinking like this has never ke

Not familiar with MailChimp, but we use Mailgun (could be any similar system for the sake of argument) and there is a heck of a lot more than just having clean IPs. Every time I use one of their screens to look at some issue I think... Ther

My thoughts were this seems like something a one, 2 or 3 person business could run, and it should be possible to extract decent salaries out of it while still remaining in conformance with non-profit rules. Safe in the knowledge that no meg

The sacklers product was sold as a medicine. Many people started on it as such. You on the other hand knew what you were getting into. Big difference.

Using stored procedures is old fashioned and won't earn you any points on your resume if you're being interviewed by 20 year olds. It's a solid solution though unless you are at FAANG volumes.

I agree, elimination still looks a good strategy, it's too early to give it up yet. If we can punch out the current outbreak (I'd put money on it, but not too much) and get back to zero then that will re-legitimise lockdown as a s
