Hi. I'm Craig. I'm an experienced Senior Software Engineer, Systems Architect and Microsoft Certified Professional with a passion for software development.

I work primarily, but not exclusively, with Microsoft technologies and the .NET / .NET Core frameworks, leading complex and challenging enterprise software development projects to successfully deliver robust, secure, scalable and efficient software solutions, encompassing over 20 years of experience in the field.

I'm passionate about distributed systems design, CQRS and event sourcing and a proponent of domain-driven design to ensure that solutions are laser-focused on solving real business problems. I'm an open source enthusiast and advocate using the best and most appropriate tools available, providing for an effective and pragmatic solution that delivers genuine and quantifiable business value.

Throughout my career I've helped numerous businesses of varying sizes in varying industries get their technology investment right and I can do the same for you.

Recent projects include:

+ Successfully delivered large section of an ambitious project to re-engineer a number of monolithic applications to cloud-native, event-driven distributed services for a leading hospitality software provider as part of a company-wide effort to modernise entire software estate including training and mentoring staff on event-driven architecture and distributed system design.

+ Successfully designed & delivered large, global SaaS product to manage and automate music royalty collection and payment for one of the UK's largest and most demanding independent music publishers including full cloud geo-distribution & redundancy to ensure high availability & reliability for the worldwide client base.

+ Successfully lead project to develop industry leading anti-motor fraud web application and API with advanced OLAP & OLTP system and data warehouse including one of Europe's largest anti-fraud databases for a Top 40 UK law firm.

+ Successfully lead project to deliver a market-leading, best-of-breed corporate travel management web & desktop-based product suite for a company who, largely as a result of the technology, were later acquired in a multi-million pound deal.
That would have to be a very small sea indeed.
I completely agree. In fact, many years ago, when FreeBSD was my main OS (including on notebook) I went as far as to isolate each app that used internet into its own custom-setup jail [0][1].

I had Firefox, Thunderbird, Pidgin and a few others running in complete isolation from the base system, and from each other. I even had a separate Firefox jail that was only allowed to get out via a Tor socks proxy to avoid leaks (more of an experiment than a necessity, to be fair).

Communication between jails was done via commonly mounted nullfs. I have also setup QoS via PF for each of them.

They were all running on the host’s Xorg, which was probably also the weakness of this setup.

It was a pretty sweet setup, but required quite a bit of effort to maintain, even tho I automated most of the stuff.

Now I use macOS, and I would like more control over what apps do what. I’m not particularly impressed with the direction of the UI (it also doesn’t bother me terribly), but I welcome the finer grained security control.

> False. You would need to buy (or just randomly happen to have) a smart TV model that exhibits this characteristic, which would be very difficult to find, as there is a very wide spread of smart TV models and features, and obviously this "feature" wouldn't be advertised. This is neither easy nor free.

If the reddit poster had provided model numbers, not just "Samsung TVs" this would become trivial to verify. They however did not. They also didn't provide any proof other than "it deffo happened guys".

> You're also clearly moving the goalposts. You first asked for evidence, and then discarded the evidence because "it wasn't good enough".

Again, as I stated in my reply while I understand your skepticism and distrust of the industry my standard of evidence is somewhat above one random guy on reddit with no verifiable evidence.
I use Migadu myself and have nothing but compliments for them. They do offer a calendar but it's only as a bare-bones complement to their main focus of email, so if you do not care about having invite responses and the like and just want: X is happening at Y functionality it's perfects for that too.

I feel like they really care about how they offer their service and given how laser focused it is that translates into me being extremely satisfied with their offering.
IMHO they’re profiting from bad actors and doing just enough to be able to claim they’re moderating. I think competing app stores could be much better quality by having better moderation. There’s a ton of margin ($), so the effort being put into moderation could be ramped up significantly and the margins would still be attractive to competitors.
'drinking water' often doesn't mean the water a human literally drinks, but all the clean water necessary for living everyday life (bathing, flushing toilets, washing dishes, cleaning clothes, cooking etc.).
I have immigrated into this country 12 years ago and became citizen 3 years ago and still, to this day, some facets of german culture fascinate me. Most of germans have seriously high threshold for „pain, which reflects in almost every everyday life situation:

1. customer service is abysmal and they are ok with it.

2. bureucratic machine is horrible and they are ok with it.

3. politics stagnating last decades and they are okay with it.

4. so little doctors with super long waiting times for so many people (to the point of memeing about it) - and they are okay with it.

5. no wealth accumulation through generations because its impossible to buy anything. Everyone rents and they are okay with it. Nothing gets built, infrastructre expnsion is non existent in cities.

Impotence in the government (digitalisation is a joke right now, everyone knows berlin airport fiasco, now vaccination stuff) is the most infuriating one for me and yet they still vote for CDU. At this point I have no idea how to understand this. CDU have lost many of its voters not because people had „enough“ and switched, but because lots of CDU electorate just died of old age. sigh

I clicked because Linux needed an 386: the first versions used 4Kb memory pages for virtual memory instead of the i286 segmentation.
Working on Fedora and MacOS every day and I don't see much difference.

Fedora had its issues. MacOS too (like fuse driver, 32b support, apfs migration issues, randomly dying restore from sleep, sleep auto-wakeups which mean 50% less battery after an unplugged night).

There are some things I just can't do on MacOS at all though - for example custom audio routing and inline effects. (Apparently I could spend a few hundred $ to get it... but yeah, no, I get it for free on Linux)
Reversals in Psychology (2020)
There is something amiss in calling the US a nation. Maybe it's the absence of historical epics, the lack of a uniting identity thru the ages, the lack of mythical gods.
Comparing against nations like India and China, USA seems to be without a soul.
Hah, yeah - fair enough. Glad I could fix your issue. Ahh, Webdav. I know the XML libraries a lot better these days and could make that code a lot tighter, but it's still chugging along just fine, pretty much untouched since :)

As for enterprise focus - not so much enterprise, but we are focusing more on the non-technical user. All the power is still there under the hood and available, but it's not so much in your face if you don't want it to be!

Sure. Can you afford to pay damages after you inadvertently blind yourself, and everyone else in a hundred meter radius around you, with diffuse reflections off whatever you point the laser at?
Pretty much all our mythology and fairy tales, including the Tolkien's world, Harry Potter and many movies are based on what I'd call the "occult records". Those records were made partially public at least two centuries before Tolkien was born, so it can't be a coincidence that so many elements of his world match 1:1 with those records. Whether those records are true is a separate question.

Using occult chronology, Tolkien's world corresponds to the Atlantis period (the same Atlantis described by Plato). Tolkien took most of the interesting bits from different epochs and compressed them into one short story. The tall people (2x taller than us) in his story are the atlanteans, Saruman and Gendalf must be Narad and Asuramaya and orcs are creatures made by the evil faction during the late Atlantis when the civilization was on decline. The records say, though, that the bad guys won at the end and the atmosphere during that final chapter was shown in the Prometheus movie. All movies and books, though, present a rosy version of orcs and other evil stuff from the records - an accurate picture would be unthinkable even in the book format.
> The phone market is lost.

Anything to back this claim up? I disagree here. Librem 5 and Pinephone are getting more and more popular now. The first one is even recommended by the FSF: https://www.fsf.org/givingguide/v11/

The article linked by the parent is very clear about when things are unknown or suspected but unproven (from real but inconclusive archaeological evidence). In contrast, it shows that the book in question is completely speculative (not based on any archaeological evidence whatsoever) while presenting itself as unequivocally correct.

There is no need to beat around the bush. The linked article fully refutes the original one.
Yea - I linked it to avoid a link to a bookseller :)
>Long term(as in multiple decades) we might want to switch maglev railways, as there is no friction to stir particles in the air from that.

Is there a major environmental/health problem with particulate from regular steel-on-steel railways? I would guess the iron particles don't travel very far due to their density and will mostly turn to harmless iron oxide.

Well, there's been a number of very large bird and reptile species that humanity has been in contact with since the dawn of man. Many of our forefathers were rather small compared to modern humans, and a gigantic serpent or amphibian would probably be outright terrifying for small early humans armed with rocks and spears.

I'm not sure about genetic memory, but human oral tradition is very old, and while I haven't heard about any evidence suggesting it predates modern humans, I wouldn't be surprised if there are stories that turns out to be as old as human language is.

The E2E will help so long as you're sending email to other users of the same service, yeah. For most cases, it's probably not a huge upgrade from stored encrypted; the bulk of damage in email leaks would be from accumulated emails from the past.

The reason I don't recommend using it if you're super paranoid is because it'd be easy to mess up, and it comes with quite significant holes- e.g. subjects aren't E2E in Protonmail. Best to use a protocol designed for E2E from the ground up.

> If Amazon App Store banned all ad supported apps would people use them more?

I would do that in a second. I think the reason it wouldn’t work is that ad fraud is probably generating a ton of revenue and that can’t be replaced by charging fair value up front.
I wonder how much it costs to walk up to one of these forecasters and buy the first place. Given how popular forecasting seems to be, I am convinced there is a good bussiness model behind.
inbox.eu is alternative which is much longer in business (since about 2000) with flat price per mailbox 9.99 EUR per year (now it is only 3 EUR with discount- no promo code needed).
You completely miss the point. Extracting fresh water from salt water creates brine and in a large scale plant it is extremely difficult to dilute it sufficiently.

The only answer is to pipe the brine into areas with strong currents, or dilute it by distributing it over a very large area.
Not sure that anyone's aspirations need to be downgraded. Businesses may need to be more willing to invest in efficiency improvements and automation. They may need to take on and train lower-skilled employees that they might not have considered before. And pay higher wages to attract the skills/talent they need.
that's a name i haven't heard in a long time
Over 1/3 of our staff are support agents, and support is one of our largest costs, so yes - custom domains do add additional support challenges, and we do need to cover that cost.

Thanks for the suggestion with DMARC reporting. It's not something we're going to work on straight away, but I'll add it into the suggestions for the domain features. Definitely we'd only look at building something pretty basic and low-touch, but maybe that's enough for a lot of small businesses.

Which unavoidable memory overhead?

The hash map as described in the article doesn't seem to waste any memory.
If you mean the chancellor candidates, the most likely one is Laschet from the CDU, which is certainly not left. They're the major conservative party in Germany.
It's not all good news - although the percentage of instances per age group have been decreasing, as the article says "the overall number of dementia cases is on the rise, due to the increase in life expectancy and the fact there are a greater number of old people".

"I think a hard problem for visual languages is the sheer physical labor of creating code using drawing tools."

Has anyone tried yet, to build a compiler, that compiles code into visual programming structures - and back?

I know scratch does this in a very limited way(code to scratch), but are there other tools around?

I am not aware of any, except for mine (which is unpublished as of yet, but if I get the website right, that might change by this weekend).
I started using Migadu recently because it offers - as far as I know - unlimited mailboxes and aliases on a single domain, and unlimited domains for a cheap, fixed price.

There isn’t anyone else that does this that I know of, and so the value provided in this one area is incredible.

There are other limits, like sending 20 emails per day on the cheapest plan, but I don’t think I’ve ever sent that many emails before.
Or found their skeletons.
Sure, same with [1]. I still think its cool. What would be a better title though?

That book isn't so much about R weirdness. It's more about teaching data scientists to consider the implications of practices like copying a huge table in memory on every loop iteration.

But if the key is added to the link itself then you could be storing the encrypted string and decrypting it after getting a request for a link that contained the key.

I'm not accusing you of that - just saying there is no way to prove that's not happening.
Greens look a blip caused by the slow vaccine rollout. Their peak is right around when people were maximally angry about how far the EU was behind the UK.
Nonsense, look at the actual archaeological record from the time. Yes, anything could have been but then the person making those claims has to provide proper evidence for it, not the other way around.
I read their party programme and they weren't conservative. They are, like "right wing" parties in Spain, conservatives only in name. They are as progressive as the rest of left wing parties. Hence my question.
I really feel what you're saying. It's deeply aggravating. I feel a lot of it is due to the high level of wealth and overall satisfaction that much of German society has experienced for the past few decades (inb4: I know there's poverty here). It's a very weird form of decadence, based on the principle that "this worked well so far".

My coping strategy is to remind myself that it's probably the linked flip side of many of the things that I appreciate - good labour and consumer protection, good healthcare, public transport, a not-totally-fucked income distribution.

But: yeeeaaaah.
Simple mail hostings on the rise nowadays.

What next? UUCP providers? Flat price BBS?
The mention of capillary action reminded me of hydro. Would be great for small scale energy production/storage.
>Gecko and Webkit have also implemented most of the same architectural features described in these blog posts, and in some cases even added them before Chromium.

That's why all this threaded rendering stuff sounded familiar. Mozilla putting massively-parallel Servo features into Firefox is already a few years old: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecko_(software)#Components
> the idea that old tales of orcs and elves originated many millennia ago as descriptions of other human species or other primates isn't that far-fetched.

Given that we know that thoughout recorded history people have made stories like that up about the community of the same human species over the next hill, it may be not-too-farfetched, but it is also a wildly unnecessary conjecture.
Yeah, I remember when this 'theory" came around the first time. It was silly even in passing, and supporters weren't even playing up the idea that the entirety of humanity had migrated to the Levant in order to be nearly wiped out by Neanderthals. Especially when there's a much more plausible alternative: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toba_catastrophe_theory

When someone gets introduced as a "heterodox thinker", there's always something badly thought-out coming.
Exactly my thoughts, why not generate HTML in the server dynamically and send it across? I’m pretty sure such similar things are being done since the 90s.
The CDU is the largest center right party
And most definitely NOT on the left of the German political scale.

The greens have some conservative views and are quite popular with middle class, middle wealth people. (White collar workers)
Most Germans would not consider CDU/CSU to be "left". I think they understand themselves as a center-right conservative party.
What grinds my gears, is a company which has "important info" emails you cannot opt out of, but then it is still 95% spam.

That depends on what the information is needed for, I would say. If you need to care for these people, the total number might be more important. If you are getting old yourself and are wondering whether you might get it, then the incidence might be more interesting.
You're looking for far-fetched explanations where his academic track record, most notably on Beowulf, provides a completely natural meta-mythological basis for his works.
That's partly intentional! Hopefully it scares away the users who expect perfection, and they can be better handled by a glossier service.

(Also I'm just genuinely mediocre at design, and kind of personally prefer less frills anyway.)
