Normal taxis exist and you can get them called in by your hotel or whatnot but from the few experiences of using them, they require payment in cash or alipay and some of them refuse cash becoming extremely confused why you can't alipay

A master carpenter might be able to build a house with pointy shards of glass for nails, rotten wood for timber and pumice stones for hammers, but he's going to struggle every minute of the time, hate you for making him do it, probably

This is horrific. The easiest way to fix this for me is to swap the first step, the second and third steps are so deeply ingrained that I don't think I could ever re-learn them. This has now completely ruined how I tie shoelaces. Thank

I don't think the surveillance system got much more sophisticated but for anyone wondering what china's surveillance system was like before the pandemic, I stayed in China three times for a total of about a month and a half in the

In my experience, if you see * or more rarely ? in a sudo command configuration then there's a good chance there's a problem. I once saw a bunch of systemctl start someprefix* being allowed in a sudoers configuration (likewise for

It's weird how <insert painful and idiotic method of communicating here> gets treated as an endorsement on this website. For reference, me saying that emailing around pictures of handwritten text would be preferable to discourse

For some context, I use a keyboard driven vim binding plugin for firefox to deal with the web. Discourse, aside from just being slow on older machines due to all the JS, binds half my keyboard to some nonsense. Apparently due to how firefox

Most of your typical self-hosted forums don't have excessive amounts of javascript which override half your keyboard inputs.

I wish people stopped using discourse. Sending pictures of pieces of hand written paper over email would be a more user friendly and usable interface than this javascript mess.

I've dealt with extreme boredom and dissatisfaction and changed professions (albeit from software to information security) and after years I am again facing the same issues. I feel like there may be deeper problems here. In retrospect,

These questions are important but they are not the types of questions I am asking about. Part of determining if you want to work somewhere is figuring out how mature the team is when it comes to design decisions and the development process,

I'm not talking about inane questions like your work life balance. I am talking about questions about your product, your design decisions, etc. If I am interviewing at a company I certainly want to know that I am not going to be workin

How do you research the salary if all the company says is "competitive salary". In the part of the UK I live in this seems to mean anything from £45k to £150k for roles of similar seniority. Really if there's a mismatch in sa

It's weird that you dont judge potential hires on the quality of their questions, the most important parts of most creative jobs are being able to ask the right questions.

Yes, pass is 800 lines of relatively straightforward bash and I am qualified to review bash. Now, granted, it uses GnuPG and git but in those cases I think the risk of problems is minimal. I haven’t in all honesty read the Password Store an

Weird. I use pass as my password manager on all my Linux boxes (with a yubikey to store GPG keys and Password Store + OpenKeychain on android). I basically refuse to use any password manager with an implementation I can't see or audit.

I mean yes, but at least a few years ago when I last looked at this, CS degrees in this country were heavily SE oriented and standalone SE courses were rare. I think the problem was lots of people were applying for CS degrees expecting SE c

Seems like the standard CS degree course in the UK (at least last time I researched this stuff which was some years ago) heavily focuses around teaching the most popular tech stacks and employability and does not really focus as much at fos

None of the elements here are individually surprising, but I had never thought of this, and it most certainly looks like it took ages worth of research and work to get working. The most surprising was the pinhole camera but now that I'

Well, it's a duopoly. Which, since it is not literally a monopoly, often gets a pass. Have a country with a single party you can vote for? This country will be called a dictatorship, dystopian shithole, undemocratic, whatever... Have a

So, in summary, ORMs are only bad when you use the ORM parts and not when you mostly ignore the ORM parts and only primarily use the query generator and basic abstraction parts. Well yes, that's because whenever things get hairy, you&#

I think the infrastructure required for a microkernel would have more features than this OS. It really is incredibly barebones and that's why it is monolithic. That being said, I guess it's maybe possible.
