It's the demographic distribution of those 8 billion that's the problem.

Their series earlier this year, covering Alfred the Great through to William the Conqueror, was one of their best, I think (and I'm a fan).

The alternative of 10^12 (trillion) seems a stretch to say the least.

I would hazard to say very many people, me included.

Yep. Really dislike the American flag being used as the symbol for English.

I tried previous iterations of JetBrain's AI without much love, but need to look at Junie. Using Windsurf plugins in JB ides has been working for me, albeit not as powerful yet as the Windsurf VS Code fork.

The panic was started by SVB, not VCs. Abstract this to any other bank and the reaction would have been the same.

Decided not to wear the life jacket whilst kayaking in Thailand. A speedboat came around the corner, then straight at me, such that I rolled off the kayak into the water. Whilst I still was struck by the propeller, I expect that I'd be

It's (subjectively) justified if there's a lot more social support – for example, some of the Nordic countries.

Whilst high, not sure it makes any sense to compare the systems.

All I want is named parameters so that I don't need to have N variations of the same method with different signatures, also particularly helpful for understanding boolean parameters.

Reminds me of the way many landlords seem to treat their tenants.

Absolutely - and regarding Jordan, whilst Petra was a definitely worth the visit, there's so much more to Jordan that has me wanting to return, not least, the people. edit: typo

Is that architecture helpful for a saas app that needs to support users from corporate customers using single sign-on via an OIDC or SAML provider like Azure AD or ADFS? I looked into using Okta or Auth0 for this sort of setup, but both wer

How do you implement that cache invalidation, assuming a multiple app server environment? Is it something like a separate redis server?

Can't help but think this was just a marketing error. Had they called the OS something like SurfaceOS instead of WinRT, perhaps the expectation would have been something more accepted, akin to iOS and MacOS.

Does that mean that you use JDBI for DB access?

I don't know about GWT, but certainly Inbox in Chrome desktop feels much more sluggish than the app on my Android phone.

I was at a Neo4j intro meetup earlier in the week. They do market it as a primary DB. Maybe the capabilities are different now.

Possibly (I wasn't aware of that), however I'd prefer something a bit larger in scope, taking in the larger application and even the architecture.

Rather than direct learning assistance, I'd be interested in a review service as most of the time I can get stuff to work just fine, but there is likely a better or more idiomatic way. Particularly relevant in a new dev space and unfam

Maybe - though my guess is that they'll join a university population and/or workforce and start interacting with the wider world, that just happens to be significantly on Facebook. But at 40 mine is hardly a relevant opinion :)

I've never thought of Medium as a blogging platform but rather an article publishing platform with tools to encourage conversation and sharing around each article.

I don't have the study, but I do have my own experience. About 5 years ago I was lucky to survive being hit by the propellor of a speedboat. I was struck across the sacrum, crushing nerves and fracturing both the sacrum and tailbones,

Frankly, I don't care whether David's post is this or that. What I care about is the point - optimise your life for happiness and recognise that happiness is in the doing, in the living, not the outcome.

I've started to use Blinkbox, which is buy-and-stream service. The content seems fresher if you don't mind buying versus subscribing.
