Americans absolutely can, if they live in the EU where this law applies. Europeans living in the US (such as myself) cannot. I’m not commenting on whether this is good or not, merely that the last statement in your comment is incorrect.

If you think Reform are likely to be in favour of anything other than the most authoritarian implantation of whatever law enforcement suggests they want, I don’t think you’ve been paying attention to who Reform are.

The only reasonable “feeling” Java app I’m aware of on the desktop is IntelliJ (and derivatives) - but AFAIK JetBrains have had to fork almost every part of the ecosystem to make that a reality.

The difference is prevalence. Kubernetes is a single (bad) Go project. Every piece of Java I ever see is AbstractFactoryProxyBean nonsense with annotations all over the show. I don’t know of a Go project where I can’t start at main (for a g

I have (in depth, often under the gun of a production outage). Kubernetes is not a good example of idiomatic Go in any sense. Perhaps Spring Boot and friends are also not good examples of idiomatic Java, but they are absolutely the common c

It's pretty interesting that people think Java was abandoned because of other languages, and not because of the problems of Java itself - or indeed that features like hot reloading and live debugging are niche or unique to Java. .NET h

What?! Almost every major server and desktop Linux distribution ships a kernel full of patches, which are absolutely forks. That’s before we start getting into the crazy town of the embedded world. Clearly the software can be forked. The qu

That explains why you can't get decent service in rural Montana, but not in San Francisco! The best fiber services around (other than Google) tends to be the municipal ones that don't give one of the big operators space to pull th

I used them during their beta phase and they were my primary bank until I left the UK. Exceptional service, and the only app from a UK bank that wouldn’t have made you want to cry with how awful it was.

Denmark was first neutral, and then occupied by the Germans during WWII. This is not what people would typically consider "part of the Third Reich", unless one would also consider Switzerland or Belgium to have been.

Sure, it's the canonical example of a Kubernetes client, but it's still not very good - even for modern Go.

The Kubernetes API is one of my least favourite Go packages - largely generated, boilerplate all over the show and hasn’t even adapted to use things like log/slog without some wrapper. A much nicer library for dealing with Kubernetes i

No need to imagine - here’s the documentation for it: https://pkg.go.dev/std I’ve found the Go standard library to not only be very complete, but also to contain far fewer sharp edges and dead batteries than that of Python

Your 2010 BMW very likely did have cellular connectivity given that my 2008 model did. It might not work today though.

Weird, next week will complete 21 years of my exclusively using Safari on the desktop, and I’ve yet to notice anything like this. Admittedly I’m not ordering from Taco Bell, but sites being unusably broken is simply a non-issue for me.

All of those are bad apps, which desperately need porting to proper native UI technology instead of Catalyst, in many cases. The fact that some first party apps are bad is not an excuse for third parties (who are inherently less trustworthy
