The answers in this subthread had me think more: I am using a company provided Windows machine and a Linux virtual desktop for the same tasks. Startup times difference for many applications is night and day. Probably due to virus scan and M

Phone home. I suspect much of the lag is network latency.

Static fields can get in the way of testability very quickly, in my experience. Even static methods can if they draw in dependencies.

Re. 2.: I just bought a Fairphone 4 with e/OS preinstalled. I think I can do on that device whatever suits me. Not all is lost but we need to care.

Installation unfortunately is anything but dirt cheap in Germany, at least not on houses. Currently it is hard finding someone willing to do the work as well.

Java solves this with map as instance function (transfering the function inside the box). And there are several extraction functions (See Optional for an example).

Where this can directly been seen in Java is the Optional class which has the methods you describe as instance methods. Though Java has no syntactic sugar for monads this allows chaining expressions (which I think in Haskell would be bind()

The client has access to the address book and it is hard to verify what the client does in reality. I receive updates of the client every other day and who knows what it brings with it.

Two days ago I received a Fairphone 4 from Murena. Seems solid can't say much more so far. I replaced the default app launcher as it does not offer the possibility to show all installed apps. I come from Samsung and I like its (localiz

Unfortunately, something being legislated does mean nothing. In Germany, there has been Covid location tracking via an app (Luca App) for venues. Despite legislation explicitely forbidding that, police tried and gained access to this data.

I have a new car and no, it can't be disabled. You can only disable tracking by the car company but not emergency calling. Via IMEI tracking the cell providers have your location data, willingly or not. If you want to travel anonymousl

Funny. My brother works for a European agency - in Brussels. The agency mandated use of Signal as messenger for internal commumications a couple of years ago.

I am surprised that this is a surprise. At least color vision is encoded in the X-Chromosome so there should be variation as males have only one which can be expressed.

You don't need to go that far. Corrupt (low level) employee sells lab animal remains at wet market would probably be enough.

I always thought that in such a situation ATC would get a flight instructor with experience on that plane to the mic as quick as possible. I have a couple of landings in a commercial simulator (A380 and 747). It is manageable in good weathe

Or you just market your 1000 mAh battery as 950 mAh battery. But, uhhmm, honesty and marketing... If you can't charge the battery to 1000 mAh, then state so.

It's clever, but also brittle. And might have disastrous error conditions (like hitting "Delete" instead of "Continue" if the wrong UI part has focus).

I'd hire this guy if only being for this frank about his mistake. He owned it and that is what I would look for. After deletion, what should he have done? Postpone the go-live? That's often not a a cost-effective option. As for a

Here in Germany even local bakeries put stuff in their bread which doesn't belong there. A good chunk of population (including me) has switched to make their own bread. With a bit of routine (and patience) it's pretty easy (I am n

Which, may I ask? I have a Librem laptop, but I wouldn't give it to a previous Windows user because of the pre-installed desktop (some GNOME variant I think). On the other hand I installed Linux Mint on all family hardware with no issu

You're correct, but: with modern tech there are vastly more intrusion vectors which are cheap and hard to detect.

Good luck, now you are dependent on Google. Browsers have the exact same problems as OSes, unfortunately. I exclusively use Firefox where I can but at least at work it is becoming more difficult lately.
