I can vouch for Tuple, it's an excellent app. Far better experience than Discord or Google meet screen sharing. Give it a try !

It's not that hard for any competent organization: document what PII you store, who has access to it, and what you do with it. Also have an internal procedure to scramble someone's PII on request. If you have a direct or indirect

Just so you know, it's a common practice in the US. As europeans, we are almost required to open LLCs in your states, do a joint venture with a local US company, and hire US persons to sell to US people. It's a matter of fact that

I think you highlighted the main issue: it's not sexism, it's simply misplaced. Would it be 4 women and 4 men, it would still be out of context and not right. I don't know if it's more jackass or more redneck, anyway it&

moul: care to comment about how things are at scaleway and how's the roadmap going ? Is VPC the next item on the list ? :) Congrats on the steady advance anyway. It's been a pleasure to use scaleway so far.

You can take a look at Rust. The authors are really careful to design an elegant C++ replacement, with no troll features and zero-cost abstractions.

thanks for your detailed answer. It's an interesting stack ! Using docker for integration testing seems like a good idea. > Although perhaps writing code in OCaml has made me somewhat overconfident in my code Many Ocamlers could be

Excellent insight, thanks for your clarification.

You can't reasonably use functors of all your code dependencies (function arguments mostly). I am amazed to see how the MirageOS team used this, but this method cannot be used for all the code. > As a side note, I usually see mock

Now you have a very smooth ocaml worklow: - you create and manage the build of your project with Oasis which call ocamlbuild nicely - Opam works great with ocamlfind to manage the dependencies and the toolchain you use - OUnit has backgroud

F# is an excellent technology, and inspired some of the recent Ocaml developments (we still look at ActivePattern with envy). I saw some pieces of F# in the FinTech here and there, I think Microsoft could do a better job at marketing it bec

Thanks for your detailed answer and congrats for successfully maintaining libguestfs. > I'd also say the killer advantages of OCaml for me are: Easy calling into C, and compiles to a native binary. Very true. And Ocamlbuild makes wo

I don't know if it brings anything new on the table. Also, I am not convinced that Ocaml is state-of-the-art in term of development productivity, relase-management, debugging, etc. Anything any non-trivial project could want. Language

Thanks for your reply. I now think I don't understand the logistic involved and will look further.

Well, I have to say I don't know the US infrastructure enough to have a bold opinion, but I know heavy infrastructure like these often have a sound design respectively to their constraints (which can be absurd). The European power grid

I suggest you to learn a bit about power grid engineering. Basically, the fact that we can't store electricity means that when you power on your toaster, somewhere a power plant has to increase its power to compensate. But the nuclea
