Where possible. (If your build process builds containers and your tests get them up and make them talk, doing that in a container is a challenge.) However, there are stateless VMs and stateless BMs too.

Elixir's syntax is very intimidating. We maintain a fork of "bors-ng", I'd very much like to hack around a fix or two, but just stare at the code in awe.

I agree, but if there's an architecture gap then locally running CI is not gonna help you to bridge it either.
305.
by maratc 1y ago
This can be achieved by running in CI what commonly runs on local. E.g. if your build process is simply invoking `build.sh`, it should be trivial to run exactly that in any CI.

That would need a clear definition of what "too many" or "too frequent" mean. Every time this definition is changed, you'd need to retroactively apply the change. Changing the "person" would circumvent thi

There was a natural barrier of investing time into writing the proposal. This barrier is clearly broken now. A different barrier could be money that people submitting grant proposals would need to pay. First grant proposal could be $0, seco

A friend of mine reports having seen it in April this year, when there was a corporate sponsorship event so some (most?) of the city’s museums waived the entrance fee. He reports having seen no crowds or queues whatsoever.

I think it's on view permanently , except when the museum is closed (as it is now). I can’t say anything with regards to when it was made though.

Applets didn’t fail because of missing JRE, it was included in IE. It was only after Microsoft started playing around with the implementation that Sun asked them to stop, which they did. Only then did a missing JRE become an issue.

I think this is very similar to 401(k) or IRA, or "self-invested personal pension", except that the law sets the percentage amounts for both employee and employer contributions.

It’s not a savings account. My employer and me both pay monthly installments to the pension fund which are tax free. The money is under my name, and is not used to cover any pension of someone else. I can decide where it is invested, and ch

Every time I read about a purported "housing shortage" I'm reminded that there are about 140 million housing units in the US[0], with an average of 5.5 rooms per unit[1], or about 700 million rooms, all that for 350 million o

Where I am, we have personal pension plans. You can check "what kind of pension is waiting" by going to the pension fund website and checking. Gov't doesn't play any role in any of that -- except (a) prescribing mandat

But for an individual that would die at 71, which pension would they rather have, in your opinion?

The BBC also didn't call it "ancient," which would be questionable considering that the law is from 2012.

Usually the judges do not "ignore or modify" the law, but rather "interpret" it in a creative manner. You might use, as an example, the question of "does the US Constitution guarantee the women a right to abortion.&

I think you'd need a couple of "solicitors" -- or maybe even "barristers" -- to decide on that. I'm neither :)

That's the British system working as designed. If there's a law, no matter how ancient, the British should comply. If a law needs to be changed, that's the Parliament's job. Even the British courts, in sharp contrast to
