Maybe Runtime or Runtime System is a better word than VM? Go has _something_ that manages Go routines and GC and so on.

Surely that's the responsibility of the providers, though? Apple can improve the situation a bit, maybe, but you'd really need to get AT&T & co to crack down on it to have any chance of solving it for good. I know that I&#

Well, this article is a hypothetical, but fire-proof safes are, like anything with "proof" in the name, not fire-proof, merely fire-resistant. It's theoretically possible for a lightning to strike in the worst possible plac

I dunno - I always assumed that London-proper prices (i.e., not Milton Keynes) being so outrageously high, upwards of £1,000,000, would throw out the average. Though perhaps the number of slightly cheaper apartments brings it back down agai

That's not correct. I suspect that the source you saw said: > As of 2017, the average annual real disposable income of Dutch households was roughly 31,500 euros. Disposable household income would be, at a minimum, after tax, and pos

That's a very reasonable response. I'd add another thought: A site (e.g., Twitter) could define "off-topic" as anything that goes against its Terms of Service or Code of Conduct (CoC), which would probably result in exac

I wonder if you've thought this through properly. I suspect that, if your vision were to be enacted, there would be no more forums. No more Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Hacker News, niche PHP forums, comment sections, etc, etc. Why? Beca

Let's say someone writes a blog article. They publish it on Wordpress with a bunch of unoptimised defaults. Some time after, someone comes along and says "Hey, the search engine will rank your post more highly if you include the n

One of the perils of working in the UK is _assuming_ that you've been using UTC timestamps this whole time, and then summer rolls around and suddenly a bunch of tests start failing, and all your production logs are an hour out because

You're sort of forced to handle them, in that if a function returns (Data, error), you need to assign the error to a variable (or do data, _ := func(), but at least that indicates you're intentionally ignoring the error), and

I believe the US is one of 7 countries in the world that _don't_ have minimum vacation days (although I believe individual states could/do have their minimums?). The others are (per Wikipedia): * Kiribati * Marshall Islands * Micr

Adaptive Cruise Control is wonderful - I recently did a long-distance drive across Europe (~1000KM), and I swear I went through 100KM of roadworks. Adaptive Cruise Control would have been amazing for that (plus the other traffic jams caused

It's super-handy, but I don't own a car (and try to rent cars with CarPlay when I do drive), so I only ever use it when walking. And there it's really nice to be able to pull up my watch, double-check the street name - becaus

Isn't that literally impossible, because there are so many different things that a subset of people need to avoid eating? e.g., if you have a nut allergy, your healthy diet can't include nuts; if you're lactose-intolerant you

Yikes. Even in Germany, which is probably the most expensive EU country for mobile plans (yay...), and using the most expensive carrier (Telekom DE), it's €39.99 (CA$58) for 6GB, €49.95 (CA$73) for 12GB, €59.95 (CA$88) for 24GB, and Un

Are... you sure about those numbers? That would be one interview per ten thousand applications, and one offer per million applications. I know you have to submit a lot of job applications, but, uh, that seems excessive!

Yes, I'll ask a few friends to help load my stuff into a van. Then onto a ship. Then they will, out of the goodness of their hearts, spend 30 - 60 days on the ship while it sails around the world, help me unload everything onto a van a

It's €650 for the all-products pack for an organisation , or €250 for an individual, dropping to €199 in the second year, and €150 in the third+ year, which probably explains it.

Taxes are a lot more complex in Germany - you need to in add in social security charges (e.g., health insurance, nursing contribution, pension contribution, etc, etc), and you'll generally pay more in tax in Germany than you would for

Were you working 28 on/28 off (or 14 off/etc)? If so, that would be fairly different to working 80 hours/week, 52 weeks a year.
