Interesting, what is considered newsql? Postgres?

As an outsider the George Floyd seems like every other police murder that the US has, I swear it happens every other year with similar outrage... BAU

Do you have any insight into why this is no longer the case?

Do solar panels eventually stop producing any power?

I have some second hand panels that are around 10 years old, I'm sure they are less efficient and I have had to replace diodes etc - but it seems to me that if you have lots of space (as we do in Aus) you could just keep adding new panels without getting rid of old ones

I look forward to in browser DLL hell /s

I'm cautiously optimistic about blazor, it definitely makes streaming data to the Dom much easier

Is teams records management compliant? I know it isn't in my country

I see what you're saying, but I think electronics is equally or more complex than software, but over a longer time period

Copper, plastic, other things which I have no authority to talk about, were all complex at one point in time

You do make a good point about scope creep, I wonder if the early days of electronic had a similar problem because nobody knew what they wanted or what was possible?

Very interesting to think about IMO

Its because software is always "new"

Imagine if an electricians invented new types of wires for every job they did

I'm not sure why software is the way it is, maybe it will be more like a trade in a few decades...

I have never heard of a plumber, dentist or electrician apologizing for anything - unless you count court orders...

I think its a case of diminishing returns - yes there is sucky legacy software everywhere, but the ROI was much greater when introducing software in a space where there was none, or the incumbent system hasn't met growing needs.

I don't think Dropbox does merge at all does it?

The file object model wouldn't work for merging Word documents and such

Surely the servers enforce the Vanguard requirement

Could you write a review on it? I've been contemplating getting one for the same purposes but I'd really like to hear some pros and cons before committing

Does anyone know of a video conferencing system (3++++ participants) that actually does do end-to-end encryption?

I often hear people use that logic as a reason why software doesn't qualify as engineering

CV: computer vision

I had to google

So store the value as milli-cents? (haha)

Maybe because they've figured out they're "one and done"?

I've looked at using this before to provide a "thin client" legacy desktop app - is anyone doing the same with Guacamole? Care to share your experience?

You are so right, the laws of nature have been abstracted

They are two sides to the same coin but they are definitely different - think of an application with a good UI, now imagine if the business rules around doing things in the application were suddenly made convoluted - that's UX

Good UI seems to be a "know it when I see it" but I'm not convinced a good UX exists yet (or even could exist?) otherwise all applications would use the same methodology

how would you feel if someone stole your car? that is private property

If he could amazon would be getting a spanking in court right now, I wouldn't be surprised if it were true, but as for evidence...

Yeah fair enough, I've been lucky and haven't been made to feel that way

Judging by all the negative responses do most people see themselves as some sort of vigilante programmer in their company?

I'm not a PM but I sympathize with how difficult it is to discern where a project is up to when it comes to software, especially when you can't come up with short enough milestones...

Huh, I always thought it was an alt code character...

That is straight up racism.

Even better (IMO), "hasPermissions"

It isn't clear whether the "check" prefix means the function returns based on whether the checking was successful or not.

HTTP is so much more convenient at this point, easy to consume by tools, routing, load balancing etc.
