Its a shame that the various implementations are pretty horrible. Global state, static methods etc etc. If you get rid of that, and just pass dependencies around, create some appropriate local abstraction around them.. the tooling, be it da

Seems like a shell company set up in January 2026 - never traded before. How could they be getting loads of NHS contracts? Will be interesting to see how it works out.

Zipped xml i wouldn't tbh. Its just not a great random access container. Compressed xml in a sqlite? Sure.

You dont know immediately if something that superficially seems the same actually is. Copy and paste once is fine, twice, not so much. Often I've seen two totally different things exist in one bit of code, no overlap! Premature generif

Well, my point was that maybe it actually isnt "to get more people to give to charity", maybe its actually something else. Its actually very easy to give £5/month direct to a charity. Takes about 2 minutes, just gotta do it.

Ive always suspected that this is all of a tax dodge, a money spinner, and a pr exercise "we gave xxx to charity" - no, your customers did. Just set up a direct debit to your favourite charity.

Yup, this works so nice. Using traefik or caddy as proxy. Docker context for remote access - over Internet or vpn, whatever. Swarm-cronjob for scheduled things. Labels for things that need to run in particular places. So easy. Personally, k

Ah yeah, you are right. It was easy to miss, as it was ~30 words in a massive article.

No mention of JVM.. which is a bit odd as recently is kinda solved this problem. Sure, not all use cases, but a lot. It uses N:M threading model - where N virtual threads are mapped to M system threads and its all hidden away from you. All

Super interesting article. Didn't operate for long? 1984-1995 - its long enough. Still remember seeing those scrambled programs in France. At the time in UK, lets say 87-92, the concept of paid tv over the air was incredible. Satellit

Carbon offsetting is a nonsense. Any company that uses it, is doing nothing other than buying a grant to pollute.

So hard to read that article, with all the pop ups, scroll hijacks, and back button grabbing (soon to be illegal) Why do they try to hide actual content with hateful tech? Anyhow, no way I would give that company money.

Hmm, not sure - the entire point of this sort of thing is that nobody should ever have your private key material. Whether they say they discard it is immaterial, they have had it, so they could use it, and then as far as everyone is conce

When you create an app in GitHub - you are required to create a private key so that you can sign requests on behalf of your app. Sounds reasonable. However... to create the private key, they require you to download the private key from th

Totally agree. But, if i may, the docs on varnish and tls are hella confusing. I just re-read the varnish v9 docs, and its not clear at all that/if it supports tls termination. Literally every doc, from the install guide to the "b
