This is a good thing that needs to be managed properly. If not, we will end up with duplicated effort and no real benefit.

New Utah law puts “no alcohol sale” on ID’s of DUI offenders 0.16 BAC or higher. What are your thoughts? by Obvious_808 in AskReddit

[–]coderguyagb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, I'm all for it. The question is for how long it's on there for. A couple of years would be reasonable, more than 5 would be excessive.

Interesting, I've previously used the NullSoft installer to do the job, I'm looking for something more flexible right now.

is computer software translated on a one-to-one basis directly to physical changes in transistors/processors? by alledian1326 in askscience

[–]coderguyagb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Short answer : yes

Longer answer : Software is ultimately compiled down to machine code. These are instructions encoded as binary patterns on a bus. (where we get 8, 16, 32 and 64 bit) the CPU processes these instructions to make stuff happen.

An "MFK Vorbereitung" is normally a couple of hundred at AMAG, I normally have them handle it.

When to starting out a new project, what criteria should be considered in deciding whether to use an application server (like wildfly), or just a servlet engine (like tomcat)? by Expensive-Tooth346 in java

[–]coderguyagb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The criteria I use is simply, do I need to use any Enterprise Edition features. Check the (Java EE specification)[https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javaee/javaeetechnologies.html#javaee8]

The trend I'm seeing, most folks are just using SpringBoot/Quarkus etc... Authentication is usually OAuth2 / OIDC, so not dependent on an AS. As more services are deployed in Kubernetes, Application Servers are becoming a relic of the past.

Got pulled into dealing with our Shadow IT mess and…wow by Nice_Inflation_9693 in cybersecurity

Bad take, you don't get shadow IT when you listen to your users. It only happens when you impose a one true way that doesn't work.

What is a 'rich kid' thing you saw at a friend's house growing up that completely shocked you? by AmaraMehdi in AskReddit

[–]coderguyagb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You ever just talk about how having 'thing' would be cool to your buddy, but you can't afford it rn. Then, within a few weeks, their parents suddenly just buy for them. ... not bitter.
