It depends on what you mean with 'a lot of places', but coding up healthcare data systems or firmware for devices where you'll have no interaction with patients or hospital, it's the company that's liable. Them hiri

I've worked in this area (in Europe) and that is nonsense. There is no requirement, other thans on the software itself. Bachelor-ish people are generally recruited, but not for their degree, but their skills (and low cost).

If any effort is too much, you're basically stuck on a very select set of dead-ish languages or dialects thereof. But I'm not sure that's a more viable approach then using a language that is still pretty great about backwards

Really? I even ported 2.7 code back when 3.6 got good, and it was all far simpler than I had dreaded. I might be not as eager as some to learn new features though, but I am also not so conservative that I won't do things some new way,

Resilio was there first actually, created by the Bittorrent company of old. The main con is it is closed source and less secure, depending on your threat model. Pro is it works really well, and is compatible with less skilled users.

Thats not the same. It means to designate one device as 'primus inter pares', and what I like about Resilio and p2p that there isn't a 'server'. I don't have one! So then I could make all my devices introducers

Inaction is unfortunately rarely neutral, let alone objective. I think is right to point that out, even if not always done tactfully.

Having the whitelist all peers on all peers is a chore. I stick with Resilio for this reason. For over a decade now it had been a 100% reliable fire and forget tool.

Here in NL they are few and far between. It's a diverse market, with dozens of companies (hence the hassle with cards). And still nowhere near the coverage of gas of course. I'm sure they are the best, those Tesla stations, you&#x

Maybe! Didn't know that was coming! But since Tesla is leading the bottom in reliability scores, it's still quite unlikely I'm getting one.

It's the same cars, from the same companies, using the same tech (structural use of metal hydrides isnt commercially viable yet). I'm not anti H2, why would I? I'm not part of any crowd. I just did part of my physics training

Storage of H2 is a challenge in space and weight constrained devices such as cars. Plus, any well to wheels analysis shows H2 coming up behind the alternatives in efficiency. There aren't claims, these are physical constraints. For hea

What I'll say to that advice is that it boils down to self-bubbling, which isn't what some want, and not what most need.
