Well yes. But just in case this wasn't clear: this is a crime, and you will get your money back in most cases. It's on the merchant to ensure a Direct Debit Mandate is actually valid.

I just don’t get this sentiment. How would you represent metrics as traces? You cannot. Even reconstructing traces from logs would be challenging at best. How would you get, say, Garbage Collector metrics from logs or traces? You cannot. Th

When I visit an article on a popular German tech news website, it interrupts music playback on my iPad (the website takes audio focus). I bet they do something similar.

I think it's a little more nuanced. Most people cannot fiddle (with PCs). They would have to learn to, first. Does this mean they deserve to have shit shoved down their throats? No. However, they are very vulnerable, and companies wa

Why wouldn't they be? No fiddling, super compact form factor, (usually) far superior energy efficiency, maybe phone apps, did I mention no fiddling? Also, the form factor!

Oh yeah, that combination of fear and lack of knowledge probably plays a big part. I was once involved with creating a privacy policy for a B2B(!) web application. What a farce. In the end, the process was cut short (counsel too expensive a

If you join multiple/many tables, you could end up with a large volume of data. And yes, this is bit-for-bit duplication—on the network. The query result is (typically) a single table. This table will get serialized as-is, with all dup

I actually think the search feature rocks, because you have high fidelity OSM maps to query. Can't search for drinkable wells in Google Maps! But then, it of course isn't Google Maps. It is likely to be more out of date and will n

Why not? On my home server, k3s (single-node master), sitting idle (no workload, no changes), has amassed as much CPU time as a full virtual machine running Home Assistant: 17.75 hours in 106 hours of uptime. All those abstractions and clus

To each their own, of course, but: If you're within a 1-hour walking or cycling radius (and you have access to showers at your destination), this is no problem at all. Plus, the mental and physical health benefits are simply incredible

Man if only there was a solution to this. It's almost as if we could design our environment to minimize this (bike- and pedestrian-friendly routes) and then deal with the aftermath if it happens anyway (showers). I do not consider empl

It's great. It's complicated. I have a MacBook Pro Late 2013 – very old. NixOS runs totally great! Even the proprietary hardware just works, with the nixos-hardware channel. Battery life is awesome, 4 hours of office work. There

Arguably, this situation is already broken right now. If an organization can't be bothered to use their tools (Sharepoint and the wider O365 ecosystem) correctly, it's entirely on them.

That's what I feel. Whenever I see someone writing something to the effect of “LLMs will replace X” (where X could be literally anything including software developers) I get an intense urge to write something against it. Not something

Unfortunately, they often lack what we gained over the last decades. Namely navigating with a mouse and being self-explanatory and same-y. The latter is mostly because certain GUI patterns simply cannot be implemented with a TUI. And then e

Extremely unlikely. Automating Office (the desktop application suite) simply does not scale. It's not needed, either. Libraries exist that can extract information from Office documents (both legacy and OOXML) much faster. Many(!) order

Yes, it can be sniffed. It will at least use transport encryption, like TLS. For everything, yes. So you'll only get encrypted data you cannot read. You could attempt a Man-in-the-middle attack on this connection. Unless the app is bad

GP suggests that it's fine if it's not forbidden yet. My (sarcastic) suggestion is that it is not, because corporations never act in good faith.

There's not, sorry. I can only advice you look outside the "tech sector" (FAANG and the smaller wannabes). As implied, my employer's product is not software, but rather hardware. This hardware does of course run firmware

What an odd take. It is often titled "software craftsmanship". Is the craftsman not allowed to practice? Not everything needs an immediate real-world application. Not everything needs to be enterprise-grade, bulletproof, web-scale
