Israel is at 68%. I wouldn't call that close to full. Portugal is at 82%, and I wouldn't even call that full.

Back when generics were introduced to Java I felt the same thing. I had been doing Java for years at that time. I had also been working for Sun, so of course I was exposed to it. I was very negative towards generics and had similar argument

This is one of those times where Qubes OS makes these things so much easier. It allows you to easily split everything between the different roles.

I'm not necessarily asking you, but I'm taking your message as an opportunity to ask if anyone knows of an extension that does the opposite? I have pretty bad astigmatism, and I cannot read pages with dark background. There used t

Why is the scanning done on the device in the first place? Photos uploaded to Icloud are not encrypted (because the US government was apparently opposed to that idea), so why not do what Google and Facebook does and do the scanning once the

Whenever I visit a country where billboards are legal, I'm always surprised how horrible they are and how the completely destroy the look of a city. Banning them is such a no-brainer, and it only takes visiting a country which allows t

I agree with you. Unfortunately I don't think we're in a majority.

That doesn't contradict the previous message. Most people enjoy clickbait garbage. In fact, one could argue that Tik Tok's success is based on that?

It has an FTP server which can be used to access the datasets on the MVS side. I don't have a system in front of me now but you can issue /s ftpd,srvport=nnnn where nnnn is the port number.

I have read about it, but had never been the least bit interested in using it. It seemed like a monumental time waster to join a realtime channel in the hope that someone will say something of interest. The entire idea seems to be an assump

I agree. I have recently been watching a lot of Star Trek and Mission Impossible. Two shows where you can watch one episode and be done with it until the next time. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one getting really annoyed

I seem to recall having attachments to steering wheels being illegal in Sweden. This makes me wonder if this wheel won't be illegal in a lot of places.

The point is that UTF-16 is the worst of both worlds. It's not ASCII compatible like UTF-8, but it still has the disadvantaged of being a variable length encoding. Every problem that UTF-8, it shares with UTF-16. It also shares every p

That's not what I'm talking about. Floating point computations happen when doing risk calculations, for example computing risk numbers in a Black-Sholes calculation. A difference in the 15'th decimal has no impact on the risk

I think we're drifting away from the original point, which is about not letting corporate marketing departments decide how the written language should work. I used Swedish as an example of a language where this is a more firm rule than

You will definitely see both. You'll see things like Iphone being written by media sources that pride themselves on good writing, such as Dagens Nyheter. If you go to https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikea the first s

I personally don't find it important. And I have seen that the demand of having numbers match exactly comes from a misunderstanding of how floating point calculations work. Sometimes this is understood by the banks and the solution is

There is another point if view, and that is that corporate marketing should not take precedence over correct use of language. Some languages tend to be more strict about this. I think it's particularly common to see English play fast a

It's important in finance. Not so much because the last decimals are really important, but when they perform reconciliation they want to ensure that numbers remain consistent over multiple runs, and if one machine returns different val

Trusted Solaris did. It was very complicated to use, so only organisations that really needed it were using it. The product was discontinued in the late 90's and its core features such as RBAC was included in standard Solaris in later

I searched a bit, and found a large set of pages with information on the topic in the context of the 360 architecture. I'd say this architecture is unique in that it is still to this day used to write high level software. Put "360

You don't, because there is a special case for AWS and Azure, this is mentioned earlier in this thread. If you set up your own virtualisation environment, then you're subject to those rules. However, you can work around it by sepa

The fork issue is solved by adding swap. Making sure you have plenty of swap solves these issues, and I'd like to argue that it is more reliable than using overcommit.

Your example wouldn't have happened though, at least in Sweden. Registration into the bad lender registry doesn't happen automatically, and the government knows your address after you moved, so they would be able to inform you wha
