No need to visit it. Unless you have a "invite code", you can not do anything. There is a "join waitlist" link that just goes to the frontpage...

PHP is old tech, but works fine. The language api is somewhat inconsistent due to legacy weaknesses and compatibility. That said, I prefer old-style PHP (like it was written in version 5ish) instead of the new object orienteted/compose

I have my own domain (that I share with relatives), and use mailbox.org for hosting it. I chose them after a rather lengthy search. Reasons for choosing them(pros) - multiple "payment accounts" can share the same domain (securely)

One, in Denmark, we have a system called MitID (basically SSO login for public services (and private services can use it too). Even though there are other options (hardware totp dongle and such), most people have the app installed - I would

Your reply is (respectfully) analog to : "Why do I care about this ssh security thing? I have always used telnet and it works fine." In X11, there is the underlying expection is, that no program will misbehave evilly - and THAT ha

I understand your idea and like it, but... The resulting headlines (at least) are pretty misleading. Examples: https://newshavn.duarteocarmo.com/482308c4511050464f22b4f40d... The AI makes the headline "Courses in crisi

I would use syncthing, which is open source at https://syncthing.net/ . After minimal setup, it just works(tm). You have a normal directory in your filesystem, that is synced to the other peers (which you set up in the &quot

In Denmark, we have a common login system called MitID (translated: MyID), which is used by all bank, insurance company, the governmental digital mail system (not email, but pdf's in a vault) and it still-alive now-commercial-only pred

That is really hard, as there are no such things as columns in PDFs, only text starting at different (x,y) positions. Hence most (if not all) programs export the text in the order they appear in the file. And if it is scanned, there is no t

The software on mainframes only shines in reliability and the fact that the machines have been build for money transaction from the start. For example doing "decimal" math (if you think python) is as inexpensive as doing float mat

If it is readonly shared-nothing queries, I am sure the hardware I have in my flat can do that as well.. The hard parts are updates in a shared system with a single consistent "view" requirement..

Remember inertia goes both ways. As soon as you have a large system "in the cloud" or otherwise "distributed" (also only in your shed). Rewriting your system to a mainframe architecture is equally as expensive. Lets say

It also gives you the opportunity to use their mainframes advantages to the very max. Not the "common feature set" but the very "best features" you can get out of your tech choice. I do the same, I have run PosgreSQL for

Legacy is mainly a marketing term for someone wanting a piece of an existing, big market. It also usually implies that you expect it to be closed down and replaced...

First of all, I find I kinda funny that you call banking, retail and insurance "legacy industries". I would rather be without Netflix and Google, than banking and food ... but each to their own.. While some is inertia (mostly doin

For me, the magic trick was getting up the same time every day even in the weekends (almost no exceptions). After a few weeks of zombie-state I got naturally tired at an appropriate time - and now, I go to bed when I feel sufficiently tired

I would say it depends on what you put into the word "refuse". If the person was blindly refusing it, they are likely not good. But I do refuse it after careful consideration (100+ hours of actual experimentation)... As said, as

I would prefer the one who refuses to use AI. Chances are that that developer will be less intellectually lazy. I have played around with chatgpt and coding (I even have the paid version), but I fail to see it used as anything else than a b

Are you sure that you are paying 5 times more for the same coverage? Insurance is all about the details and what is covered. For a basic example, we have two different vehicle insurance "levels" in Denmark, lets call them basic an

I think movies have two main purposes: One, they show different problems/dilemmas that you need to consider as a human being. Some movies are (much) better than others at this than others, but I think most movies have some lessons (or

Regardless of which language you write in, it is my humble opinion that watching the Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP) from MIT in the 80'es* is gonna make you a vastly better programmer. Yes, it is cheeky in a u
