The approach is fundamentally different: in Europe it's organized by where you want to go (or do), in the US it's organized by cardinal directions. In the US, if you're on 89th Street and 5th Avenue, and you want to visit you

It's mainly about budget, the US and China spend more than Europe. It looks like the next generation will be reusable though, there are a few programs to that effect, both from established players and "new space" startups.

It hasn't started, although we could be in the precursor stage. Given the current instability, political changes should be a high priority.

My last Windows install was XP, but I stopped using Steam a couple years back. I prefer to own what I buy, so now only purchase on GOG. However I'm very thankful for the work Valve has done, as this has made Wine much much better. I ca

5 per cent is a significant number. In many elections for example, this is the minimum to have representatives and/or receive state funding.

Not just the US. Rather strangely when choosing transportation options, people generally don't say "I'll take the subway it's safer ", when it very much is. On the other hand people accept things like "I have

I think OP's point is that certain government agencies have already transitioned or are in the process of transitioning. As such it would make sense for them to fund LibreOffice, given that they now depend on it.

There has been a 2x and sometimes even 10x in PR size , measured in LoC... But that's not really what we were promised.

Feeling like a spoiled little kid. FreeCAD and Blender had some really nice updates recently too. Now just waiting on GIMP!

Unfortunately, Krita doesn't have the same use.

Absolutely, and it's a good language when used properly. This was more of a problem with the hype surrounding it.

Yes.

OpenOffice, controlled by the Apache Foundation, and LibreOffice, controlled by the Document Foundation. No look in, since both are open source. For a closed source solution use MS Office or Google docs.

One of the slowest, most ineficient code bases I've ever worked on was in Go. The mentality was "the language is fast, so as long as it compiles we're good"... Yeah that worked out about as well as you'd expect.

Every spring the numbers go up compared to the year before. That's interesting, no?

Don't know about Spain, but in France we can be sent codes via SMS for things like 3d secure.

If they comply, they can continue bidding on government contracts. If they refuse, they will be put on a national security blacklist, like for Huawei's telecommunication equipment. Seems pretty forceful to me.

The government is forcing them to change their policy, by definition that is regulation and oversight. Let's say that the government was forcing a company to change their overall right-to-repair or return policy in order to avoid being

It's incredibly useful to know what problems your users are facing. It doesn't necessarily mean fixing any one particular bug, rather should help prioritize future work.

Europe has little hydrocarbon reserves, so decarbonization is required for energy independence.

> nvidia Just don't. I'm always amazed people actually still use their products in a Linux system. More expensive and worse software support than AMD or Intel.

Eh. Since the 1.0 release of freeCAD, the UI has been greatly improved. Also subscription services are inherently a turn off.

Don't know about pmtiles specifically, but on tile servers I've used it's possible to update administrative regions separately.

Denmark ordered more in October. Canada talks a lot, but so far has done nothing concrete about reducing their order. You would think they would urgently cancel and get Gripens and/or Rafales. Wonder what's going on behind the sce

For me this is the superior format, but alas, almost no one uses it. Even Python projects usually go with.md docs. What new projects have you seen using.rst docs?

Absolutely. The mass bombings of German cities during WW2 would be considered a war crime today.
