Suggestion, I've a small business with 10 employees. What's the best email solution that won't cost an arm and a leg other than Google Apps?

> I think I’m starting to develop a decent radar for which trends are going to have a lasting impact and which ones are going to fizzle out.

For those who want to get some fast insight to technology which is being adopted or dropped across industries in the software space then definitely check out Thoughtworks Technology Radar. It's regularly updated.

You're Australian I gather. We're far ahead of the curve.

I'm wondering if this will cause a further reduction in traffic to certain Murdoch publications. The only profitable parts of their newspaper divisions seem to be centered around gambling.

Support for formulas is the killer feature here. Formula that update when you cut / add rows & columns. Would be a happy paying customer once that's live and reliable.

Proper keybindings for copy and paste, undo, redo, column insert as well as image support inside cells. Get in touch with me via my bio if you can implement.

Welcome to my alias list. This provides better weather information than local news websites who have dedicated pages. That said, I'm in a developing country where it's just monsoon all the damm time :D

I've been using this a lot the past year. It's consistently been improving along with each version. My main love for this tool is you can see the cluster health on the screen, can see evicted pods and running / scheduled cronjobs and easily jump into the shell of any running pod. This tool is always on one of my screens, definitely a job well done.

Lads, this happened for a single day, it was lovely but is not a regular event. The city still has pollution issues however many now agree that it's caused from burnings that occur in northern India.

I've lived here since the earthquake, have only seen Everest from my rooftop in the capital one single time.

There are about 99% fewer vehicles on the road as we are in complete lockdown however the brick kilns that are located in the valley are probably the bigger polluters. Local neighbourhood garbage pickup guys regularly burn plastic.

I've been a happy Dropbox + org-mode user across multiple devices for some time. I tend to divide up my org files across different subjects and then tie them into org-agenda. I also archive my org items on a regular basis to clean up certain files.

What's the benefit of Syncthing? I know nothing about it.

>> day-wagers are probably going to starve to death[1]. A sudden line of credit would be a boon to help them survive.

If day wagers stay out of work how can they possibly earn the money or interest required to pay the short term loan? Most day wagers have already exhausted their savings. Debt on top of debt usually means starvation in these countries.

I'm not ignoring them at all.

I know that this service will be abused by those who need quick access to capital and it will ruin many of their lives. I don't support payday lending either, doesn't mean that it's illegal but it sure is unethical to charge high interest rates on low sums.

I've been keeping an eye on services After Pay in Australia for years. I often thought about rolling it out in Nepal and other developing countries and then I stopped. I came to the conclusion that there is an even greater amount of risk in countries where such credit is not normally available, a huge lack of capital for most people and families is the norm and decided that this would be a predatory practice. So I stayed away.

With everything happening right now, it's incredibly irresponsible for such a product to be released in a market that is unprepared to deal with the consequences.

Starvation for many families who would avail of this service is a fact. Many have come out and said that they will probably starve long before they contract any virus. Scary stuff. Shame on Amazon and shame on Facebook!

Android app not available in the Australian play store?

Another happy Buildkite customer here. Beautiful UI and it just works really well.

Climate change has another decade of inaction by the USA.

Unification of Ireland.

Scotland will not leave the UK.

South East Asian countries will follow China's lead imposing dictatorial policies / invasion of their citizens privacy in the name of national security.

It'll be the year of Linux on the desktop, 10 years in a row

No Half Live 3 release.

From the Irish perspective: Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

Thanks for this pg. Scheduled to have two new arrivals in about a months time. Positively shitting it as they are our first arrivals.

I don't think anything will prepare me for what lies ahead, feeling apprehensive, worried but looking forward to it none the less.

I've no idea how I'll manage time for our team in between diaper changes but I'm sure it'll all just work out for the best. Thinking positively.

Disappointed. I've been with PIA for a few years now and I always recommended them and loved their support. I just cancelled my annual subscription which was due to expire in 100 days. Vote with your wallet. Any recommendations for a new VPN provider?

This is fantastic stuff. Some personal anecdotes, moving from Ireland to a heavily industrialized city in Northern China definitely felt like a kick to the head to my output.

I've felt similar effects since moving from Sydney to Kathmandu. Looking forward to my eventual move back to Ireland in the coming years not only for my own health but for that of my children. Unfortunately Kathmandu is going down the path of major Indian cities; there are improvements but the lack of oversight on construction / dust as well as older vehicles with poor fuel makes for a lethal combination causing a dust bowl effect.

Oyo ventured into Nepal quite recently. From my viewpoint I see rooms often can be charged by the hour on some of their signage, not just daily rates. That's the type of visitor they are looking to attract.

Read most of Feists books back in the 90s. Picked up the PC version of the game. Always seemed to crash on me, one of the drawbacks of OTA updates that was missing from the CD-ROM era. Now Daggerfall...that was my jam.

We had a similar app in Kathmandu. City cut of power to certain zones on an hourly basis, the app helped tracked the powers eventual return and pending cutoff. The amount of activity in the neighborhood when the power comes back on, screams of Batti Aiyo could be heard all around. Turns out it was entirely preventable and that it was all due to an enormous amount of corruption between the Nepalese Energy authority and factories around the country. One guy came into the authority and changed it all for the better and brought all the corruption into the open. Definitely made living here just that much easier.

Find it quite ironic that an article discussing freedom of the press restricts users from accessing the content while in private mode. Freedom of privacy perhaps?

You're absolutely right.

Being honest no build is worth losing sleep over. We are piggybacking on their service and bandwidth. For us to start building the infrastructure to cache their images doesn't make financial sense, we deploy daily and their uptime always allows for that.

So my CI environment requires access to other docker images, all hosted on Docker Hub.

Seems like the tech giants should load balance these images for the good of the Internet to provide some decent redundancy and for my sanity at 11.30pm.

Recently I saw the news about the Hikvision cameras being blacklisted. This came after a time where my office just installed cameras throughout our office.

Firstly, do they phone home with data like this? Secondly, is there an open source system that could manage these cameras that anyone can recommend?

Stolen resources.

Using all free plugins in our place. There is a free bitbucket status notifier that will update the CI build status on a branch / PR. You have to retry via the Jenkins dashboard.

Being in Nepal I made the plunge earlier this year to buy a vehicle even with the extra 250% import tax the government places on them.

Imported from India, no GPS working, no maps. The entertainment system is a piece of shit! Bluetooth works fine but Ford India crippled the entire system.

That said, I've realized that touch screen systems have no place in any vehicle. Too damn distracting requiring you to take your eyes off of the road, incredibly risky when driving around Kathmandu.

My first system was a ZX-Spectrum 128k; I would love to get one of those keyboards; change out the cassette by to stick in the raspberry pi and use that as a dedicated system hooked up to a monitor. That was a really nice keyboard from memory; granted 30+ years have made the mind fog up a bit.
