timomax2··on My favorite iPhone feature was removed, long live its subpar replacement

Why do they refuse to give you a manual? Why are there no instructions. Drives me crazy.

timomax2··on A new way to predict when software jobs will become automated

Not convinced at all. This stuff makes people more productive. This may mean fewer jobs orbit may just mean more output as the lower costs (not wages) make custom software more accessible. I see this as making the Google/stack overflow turn around much shorter.

timomax2··on Google to pause all hiring for two weeks

Google products are mostly over rated.

timomax2··on Soft deletion probably isn't worth it

We just have a history table (for each table) where all deleted and past versions of record are stored. Seems to solve all the issues. The history table is NOT part of the application, but is there for audit and diagnostics etc.

timomax2··on Runway melts at London Luton airport as temperatures in UK near 40°C

Typical hot daytime temperature at this time of year is 22 to 25. It could easily be 17 or 18. For us 38 is almost 40.

timomax2··on UK set to have automated drone superhighway

Indeed. Seems little sense for this in mainland England. The sensible applications are Highlands and Islands.

timomax2··on Twenty years of C# with Anders Hejlsberg [audio]

C# is what python programmers wish they had.

timomax2··on Major breakthrough on nuclear fusion energy

These are international projects.

timomax2··on Evergrande teeters on edge of default as $148M payment falls due

Hmmm. Chinese currency is fundementally undervalue though. I don't think this "running low" can happen. Chinese business and gov must have vast USD assets.

timomax2··on The last days of Silicon Roundabout

Brits in white collar jobs don't take holiday to go to the dentist.

timomax2··on Do nothing (2020)

This is crap advice. Way to piss off your clients.
