Another vote for Qidi from me. I have Qidi Plus4, which is amazing. I selected the UK version (where I live), and don't have any issues. I believe the faulty part issue you were referring has been resolved long since as mine doesn&#x27

I mean, yes. I can understand why protests happen, because our own govt is not currently acting in our interests.

This is textbook whataboutism. I live in the UK. I'm outraged by how much time/money is spent on Israel and Ukraine issues than our own. Similar to yourself, I have to wonder why UK govt chose to help one side with weapons in thes

Not sure why this was downvoted, but I agree. It is easy to see why an individual would choose life over death, if one has the means for a comfortable life. A second order question would then be: would the society value your life over their

I'm not sure why you characterise this as political. I wish the "case" was a modifier like Italic, bold. It would have been easier to _not_ have separate ASCII codes for upper and lower-case letters in the first place. What a

Just like "You are not your code", may be we should also have a "You are not your Process Certificate" mantra. It is not the people that are dismissed, but those who insist on The Process at all costs.

How are you sure it did not happen? I am not suggesting India tried everything first, but neither party here has a proven track record of trustworthiness. If India wants to stop him by any means, the best strategy would be to not ask and be

My daily driver has been lily58, which seems to have a good balance. It did take me quite a bit longer than I thought, but now it is quite comfortable - touch typing also feels more intuitive, especially with tenting. Prior to this, I was u

This is clearly not true. There are term limits on how long the society is disallowed from using an idea. If I take good care of it, my table does not disappear in 5 years, nor can I sell the same table ten times. The bigger issue with IP

This is a case of people actively building and deciding to use a tool with plausible deniability built-in. How would you regulate people when they shirk any accountability? It is much more reasonable to require that people use a tool that s

Going back to the context of the thread: Not every risk has to be codified into the law, or enforced by the government. Should we make it illegal to prance around with a metal rod in their own backyard, just in case? Making a risk illegal d

This sounds great on paper. However, the reason "Engineer" matters is because regulation requires it. If my company is required to get a sign off from an Engineer before software is updated, then you can be 100% sure those who are

Boomin, and OnTheMarket seemed to have sprung up from estate agents being not happy with the status quo, and wanted to build their own platform. A few former Zoopla colleagues had joined Boomin, around the time when Zoopla was acquired by S

Sorry you see it this way. I agree with a lot of what the parent said. The post started the black-and-white framing - the current situation is bad, and we need to fix it. A popular three wishes joke goes: "Three men are stranded on a d

In theory, this is true. However, IME as a techie in the UK, those situations happen when there is a significant mismatch between the interview vs reality - from either side. Hiring based on referrals is one way to mitigate some of the unkn

Zoopla. It's been a couple of years I left, but I believe they still use Perl for the core business logic. There are wrappers/docker images built on top of them, but Perl is doing all the heavy lifting AFAIK. IME, big older compan

A lot of this synchronous process can be avoided - especially for techies - if there is good documentation. If your new tech hire cannot figure out the documentation: a) fix the docs, preferably by the new hires themselves after they figure

Your analogies are not helping your point :) Programmers are not the ones driving the plane or flying the car - they are the mechanics and engineers.

Can you point to this please? From my reading, it appears that their earlier patches were merged, but there is no mention of them being actual vulnerabilities. The lkml thread does mention they want to revert these patches, just in case.

Given the attitude of "the researchers" and an earlier paper [1] so far, somehow I doubt they will act in good faith this time. For instance: "D. Feedback of the Linux Community. We summarized our findings and suggestions, a

From what I understand, it is the size of the droplets. The ones leaving the wearer's mouth are much larger, therefore higher chances of the mask stopping them. The ones that are lingering in the air are smaller, which most face coveri

The other side of the story is the positive discrimination via Reservations that some castes are granted for college admissions, jobs, promotions, financial help etc. available to them. I don't know the legal position of this, but I im

Isn't this part of the problem though? Apple _could_ remove the app store, and consumers would lose the apps that have existed so far, with no alternative.

Genuinely curious. I was under the impression that Constitution applies to people, and the govt. I'd appreciate if you point to any references for Constitution being applied to corporations.

Perl5 is not EOLed, so no one is forced to "move". I haven't heard of any real business actually moving from Perl5 -> Perl6 (Raku, to be precise) for support/legacy reasons.
