Same in The Netherlands, and also works for regular transit busses so they can maintain their planned schedule.


Thought i got a deja-vu reading the title. Thanks for confirming my memory still sort of works :)


I've seen this more often, i think its because girls can be acting like adults/grown ups. And boys… well that sounds (and generally is correct) like they are immature, not grown up.

Just my penny.


Interesting overview, some have to look into. But nobody/nothing mentions the option of the application handling the data you want to backup, to perform the backups.

Imho it's ideal to have the application handling the data also create the backups. And then transport them to remote locations via any means viable or any of the in the article mentioned backup systems again. Though having the application back things up vs backup software, i tend to think there is less tuning required, less chance on external locks etc etc.


That is assuming there is a single source of data in need of backup and that the data is generated/handled by an application. Data could be from many different sources and formats: databases, images, video, audio, pdf, text...


That is true. I did assume :)

But the same applies to that. These 'other data formats' from other sources too, could also be replicated from the software handling them, assuming again! :o)

edit

Speaking from a perspective where i have seen many parties that went wrong with their '3rd party backup application', i tend to try to replicate most from the application themselves to other (safe) locations, then to rely on a 3rd party app which got setup in 2005, but in the meantime received little attention. Hence i prefer to look at the application generating/receiving/handling the data.


yes yes sure it is.. NO.. its very relevant in a thread where editors are compared.


What is seen as a feature from mickeysofts point of view, is still a proper product from dropbox point of view.

And when will users complaint? When their storage, data is gone/lost etc, so why would mickeysoft even bother to provide storage. Let dropbox take the blame if data goes missing, M$ part worked flawless, it is dropbox that lost your data.


Being allergic to nuts, in particular peanuts, i wonder if this could or would raise the number of allergic (children/people) there. When perhaps else they would have not eaten peanuts.

Peanuts are weird.


email addresses aren't public in HN profiles.

Everything is overhyped; including this very website.


The editor imho, should not be that big of a choice. The more important thing is, you choose one and you stick with it so that you will master it and enjoy all the advantages there are for that editor.

I strongly doubt that there is much different (perhaps some limitations of the app itself which are described below in other comments), that a person that worked with atom editor for a long time and mastered it vs a sublime text user that mastered the editor will work at a different speed.

And i stick with sublime :)
