Realistically speaking AWS and GCP are not that different and anyone who has 5 years experience in one can quickly pick up the other. But teams will often go with the person who has experience in the stack they use, just because it's a

Makefiles fill that great need for a high-level 'scripting DSL', where you have a lot of different programs (or scripts), with a loose set of dependencies or order of operation, and you want a very simple way to call them, with so

US Law often requires power generators to operate separately from distributors. Even when it's the same company, they have to operate as two separate businesses, and it's illegal for them to even mention certain information to eac

I disagree with a lot of this. First of all, feedback is not a great way to build relationships. If it's positive feedback, and it's not perceived by them to be demeaning/dehumanizing/etc, most people will like it, regar

I think that is a complex and worthy thing to debate as it addresses many different points; agency, regret, information, intent, consent. I think the law deals with similar concerns by not basing a judgement on how someone feels, but rather

Agile is a generic umbrella term that involves a vast array of complex, subtle knowledge and skills. It's like saying "Engineer", or "Chef". Each has a shared skillset, to be sure. But each category's members c

By "Elsevier" you mean "research journal publishers". There's more than one, and many have the same policies, depending on the publication. Elsevier doesn't even publish the biggest journals. What's weird
