Where do I participate in those polls? I'd like to put my voice against.

Yeah, I guess the experience differs... I run Ubuntu on my work Dell Latitude (i3wm), Debian on my personal System 76 (Mate) and both work more or less flawlessly, although I do agree with the guy who said Battery is not great. I also have

Out of curiosity, why not simply run Linux at that point?

Crazy idea: Why don't ICANN hand over the running of .org to archive.org? It's a bit outside their expertise, but they do have knowhow on running tech to scale, and the extra revenue could be used to fund a very good cause. Also,

You don't think there are higher skilled people trying to exploit the system? I suspect the real difference here is developers are in higher demand. If we feel the checks becomes to unfair, we can go look for a different job. If a ware

In Denmark, most (all?) of the emergency measures have come with a sunset clause, typically a year from inception.

Hopefully if the shareholders loose a lot of money this way, they will demand better governance of the next company that is set up. This, at least, is how it _should_ work.

The divide I have seen was between people who didn't mind as long as they got a reduced rate and people who, at least on the surface, seems to complain that they get lower quality than they are used to and this could easily be solved b

The London Underground has the same thing. It will automatically calculate what you pay based on how many journeys and what zones you travel within, using either a dedicated card or contactless.

Speaking from a personal perspective, modules feels like a real improvement, mostly because GOPATH always felt a bit iffy. I share your concerns, especially around generics.

+1 this is a really good podcast, much better than the lame article.

Just another example, IO Interactive in Denmark, famous for Hitman, also have deep roots in the local demo scene.

It does seem to be very hard to be a foreign CEO in Japan, especially if you're a bit flamboyant and are used to be treated as a superstar. That said, Ghosn has been accused of very similar things elsewhere: https://www.reu

Socialism does not equal government regulation. It's true that many practical implementations have resulted in a big government, most famously communism relies on centralised control. But to take the opposite site of the spectrum, anar

I think you're underestimating just how much the bloomberg terminal backend does. It's 40 years of obscure functions packed in to one massive binary.

From what I've heard, the most common unexpected ones are violations of conditions for staying (overstaying visas, that kind of stuff) or stuff like this: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4732269/all

One of the reasons for that is that Japanese prosecutors are much more reluctant to take a case to court which they are not 100% sure will lead to conviction, meaning the overall number of courtcases are smaller. That said, there are report

Sorry, I should have clarified, this is the server side binary. I believe the part that's run on the user's computer is just a kind of dumb terminal. The reason it's so big (or at least was several years ago) is that every si

Not your usually usecase, but the binary for running the Bloomberg terminal is well over 1GB (In fact running into the the 4GB executable boundary was a problem).

I'm not necessarily saying gRPC is the solution to everything, but I don't see why HTTP is so great? It's a protocol for transferring, primarily text over networks. Most backend systems operates in binary, so serializing bina

Why is this bizarre? Most countries seems to have traditions relating to seasons. In the UK It's a Wonderful Life and The Snowman are iconic and broadcast every year. Japanese traditionally eats KFC at Christmas. I'm sure most cou

My favourites are going to an interview, not hearing anything for 3 weeks and then being told "congratulations, we would like to invite you to the next stage". At that point I have likely mentally moved on, and probably moved on i

Roma won a bunch of awards in 2019. In 2020 stuff like The Irishman, or maybe Dolemite is my Name could be in the running.

I'm in a couple of tiny communities on IRC. There seems to be no growth potential, and when I've suggested switching to IRC in a work setting people look at me as if I'm mad, and starts hugging their webbased monstrocities fi

This is not really true. Except for some parts of Africa, the birthrate across the world is declining. The worldwide average is 2.4. Likely the world's population will start decline in actual terms some time in the 2nd half of the 21st
