An SE is incorporated under EU law, and it has a headoffice registered in a member state - and that registration can be moved to another member state. Like GDPR, the relevant law is an EU "regulation" and not a directive. Directiv

OEM launchers often include annoying anti-features, like a screen you can't remove and that has the brand's voice assistant. They also tend to be slow, bad at search, and have all kinds of unnecessary phone-home functionality like

BTW this is extremely common in life insurance systems, where premiums (provisions, surrender values, etc.) depend on formulas applied to mortality tables; these data themselves are simply tables for people from 0 to 100 years of age, so ma

In practice when I discuss retention requirements in my country (EU), the issue is the _maximum_ retention limit - after which data must be deleted. A minimum retention limit (e.g. business records for tax purposes) is almost never an issue

This is one of those occasions where people are arguing semantics, and you're like "but -- I was there!" My first cable modem did not have a NAT, nor did my first ADSL modem. You'd use "Internet Connection Sharing&q

The main thing about prolog isn't the algorithms. In fact, the actual depth-first search isn't even part of the standard. The nice thing about prolog is that you write logical rules, and they can get used in whatever order and dir

Long article about why not to use UUIDv4 as Primary Keys, but.. Who is doing so? And why are they doing that? How would you solve their requirements? Just throwing out "you can use UUIDv7" doesn't help with, e.g., the size th

DOCX is a terrible format though. If you don't need to edit a document, PDF is more reliable. If you do need to edit, DOCX will invariably fudge up headings, numbering, ToCs, alignment of images/figures, keep-together not working

Opera Mini's "extreme mode" takes this approach. The server pre-renders content, also stripping out things the client doesn't need or that would require a lot of resources/bandwidth. Note that this does present a bi

Is this is something small regional banks in the US do? I'd actually be very interested to know about who is providing, and who is taking such coverage if this is being (re)insured. If you have any market data/news, I would love t
