Would you mind elaborating on from those to tasks (those are in MD too) please? We're doing the design docs in MD thing, but are you saying you've gone a step further and have the backlog represented in git too?

I agree with most of what you said, but just want to clarify for others that VAT registration is optional until revenue is high enough to reach the threshold. Not being VAT registered when starting out is not necessarily a sign of a tax dod

This seems like a huge own goal for the US. Who will want to buy American military technology, when the ability to employ it is at the whim of whoever wins the next election? Especially as it's clear now than any alliance with the US i

I noticed that you do have data for Flint. Did you have to pay it, or is there some appeals process if you're quoted an unreasonable amount? Great project by the way!

UK governments have been pushing for this for years, usually invoking some recent terrorist event as justification. I'm not suggesting you're wrong, but I don't think this is _just_ the UK being a US puppet, there is very muc

> It's all in the framing Yeah, that's the root of the problem, I think. It's easy to sell people that "we just need this one more bit of access to your private data, it helps us stops paedophiles and terrorists"

I'm from the UK, and I completely agree. The general public either don't know about growing mass surveillance and privacy invasions, or don't care. "Terrorism and child abuse = bad, and if this prevents it and I have not

Presumably this would be Jane, who felt the need to comment on the OAuth ticket: > Make sure to follow the security best practices Thanks Jane! Appreciate the input, don't you have your own work to do?

Likewise! In higher dimensions, are the spheres just a visual metaphor based on the 3-dimensional problem, or are mathematicians really visualising spheres with physical space between them? Is that even a valid question, or does it just bet

Is the author suggesting that current AI tools are capable of: > “write an auth library” or “modernize these unit tests” ? If so, I'm genuinely interested to know what tools people are using that can do this. Our experience is that

I can't speak for the US, but in my country that was sometimes the case, but not always. I was an engineer and had 'non-camo' uniform, and only wore camo in the field or on exercise. People who's job was primarily '

I think I'm disagreeing with the definition implied by the article. To me, an integration test involves integrating with another system. Testing groups of functions or classes together is still a unit test, by Wikipedia's definiti

Most criticisms of unit tests in articles like this are actually criticisms of bad unit tests. They also overlook a large part of the value of unit tests, which is fast feedback during development time. We could push all of our tests u

Exactly. The site calls them ailerons (presumably because they are on the wing and can roll the plane) but they are quite far back from the cg and so function more like elevators when used together. Concorde worked this way [1], and called

This is helpful, thank you. We have 121s and retrospectives in place, so I'll focus on helping people to feel safe enough to give honest feedback/suggestions in those sessions. I like the idea of framing the question differently,

I think this would cause a fundamental shift in our society. Who would want to work minimum wage server jobs when offered the same salary for something more rewarding? Who wants to do gruelling, poorly paid labouring on a construction site,

I suppose another option is to run everything in Virtual Machines, then you could run them to any cloud provider you like (or even run your own servers). What's the reasoning for that requirement, though? I understand the fear of vendo

Nothing against scraping at all, I think that's probably the only real way to do this until more companies have a (free) status API.. assuming scraping is within the ToS of course ;) I had a few others on my list; Azure, Office 365, St

I like the idea of an aggregated status page. How are you getting the 'Reported Status', are you scraping their status pages? I tried to build something similar a while ago, but found that some companies (looking at you AWS) requi
