Yup. Well compiled.
That's what I meant by "more carefully and diligently planned" than the norm, where you can just do a (partial) fork, to try things out.

More or less what we are thinking to do.
Only difference is, we are very few people and we have to split our time, not the team. And we are not refactoring but rewriting it.
Our plan (easy description)
1) Code freeze for current version, only critical things will be done
2) Start new core and set it work in paralel with old staff
3) If tests / logs / checks are good. Start implementing new version of functionalities and move the ones that can be moved to the new core.
4) Do a parallel separated app with all new stuff.
5) Switch off old version in one "guinea pig" production system
6) start rolling out new version slowly to the other parts of the field
7) Go back to normal business in new version
8) start implementing new functionality in new version
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

It's not just refactoring; it's stuff that's not even implemented.

Recently a younger developer I respect expressed a somewhat common concern. In essence, their concern was that they were finding themselves doing a little bit of everything and not specializing enough. They were specifically concerned that nobody would want to hire them without a key specialization. I'm more of a b-shaped developer

With the release of Google Chrome 80, Google quietly slipped in a new feature that allows users to create a link directly to a specific word or phrase on a page. A Brave Browser researcher, though, sees this as a potential privacy risk and is concerned Google added it too quickly. A Google feature with privacy concerns? This is a first!
|
|
|
|

Wow.
This is bad.
A privacy issue that makes the "attacker" open each individual page and look at it.
It'll catch on in a big way, because it's so much easier to type a search string to open each page and look at it than, say, clicking links to open the pages.

Inrupt, the company behind the open-source Solid project, hires experts in its drive to let users control their data. Where's the horse go? And why is the barn door open?
Quote: At the moment, the Solid Pod server that users would install locally, is just a prototype implementation with "no security or stability guarantees".
Because as we all know, those can be tacked on later
|
|
|
|

According to the FT: some big tech companies have privately dismissed Solid as an academic project
... So have only assigned budgets of between half and three quarters of a billion to research methods for breaching pods.

Quote: The average rate of activations per device is between 1.5 and 19 times per day (24 hours) during our experiments.
...
devices have the longest activations (20-43 seconds).
Conclusion: They are "recording" you up to 15 Minutes a day, and that only due to television (mostly false positives)
Nice...
I think I am going to start making something like: xkcd: Listening[^]

A research team at the Center for Energy Storage Research of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) led by Dr. Hun-Gi Jung has developed a new battery made of silicon anode materials that offers a great improvement on traditional batteries. "It's also a floor polish!"

Why would an Australian demand usage of the US dialect?

For the same reason a Dutch fella would enquire - his curiosity was piqued.
In all seriousness though - help me understand how foolish I am. What do you mean?
|

I ain't Dutch, innit?
"Silicon" is English for the substance, and "silicone" is only used for compounds that contain silicon (like bathroom sealant); "silicone" is often used in the US for both.

Bloody bewdy! Thanks mate. I love the way many of your comments are like good movies and make more and more sense, revealing their brilliance ever more upon re-visiting. I shouldv'e bloody figured there wouldn't be the distinction made in the US.
For fun - was watching a thing on the idiot box the other day discussing our newly opened national space agency. Amongst all the laughing at the ridiculous acronyms we'll inevitably get and the joyfully printed clothing (ASS cap, anyone?) talk turned to ockerisms of "Houston, we've got a problem". In the most horrible, nasal voice came the morning's goldmine - "Yeah ah, Woomera. We're cactus mate"

Damn, you've just reminded me of that movie about the Australian observatory that covered some of the first moon landing!
I've no idea what it was called, and can't remember who was in it, but I'd love to watch it again!
That's going to consume the rest of my day, now...

I wonder what charging current it takes to fill twice as much energy into a battery in five minutes.
And I wonder which cable dimension is required to carry that current.
Obviously you could raise the voltage to, say, 12 kV. That might require a rethinking of the insulation.
