   In 99% this is _not_ a EU thing. Maybe some German law?? Or just common practice in Germany? Edit: I think I confused your response with parent. I understand price/kg is a thing although I didn't knew it was mandated by law. What

   Linux Voice (RIP) did non-technical interviews with famous devs on the last pages. I learned some very important things from those interviews. (back issues are freely available )

   I always thought all Pakistani peoples dark. Then last week I realized two of my "Easter Europen" coworkers were in fact from Pakistan.

    I really need something like this! I think a touch friendly version would be useful for people on tablets.

    This seems extremely far-fetched, see for example comment on Twitter pointing out some flaws. Reminds me of that company that revived millions of dollars for their software for finding hidden messages on the internet and somehow predicting

    The thing is, some CI operations can be triggered by existence of tags. For example build and test all commits but deploy only if it's on master branch AND has a version tag.

    I prefer using "tig" for browsing the commit log. "git log" is just not usable in real world. Stash is something I try to avoid after multiple accidents.

    I feel the device should refuse to register a new user from anything but the clean state. This is pretty straightforward on modern hardware. If any Google engineers are reading this: maybe something to consider for Android 11?

    This could also be plain bad timing. There has been some breakthroughs for using aluminum in high voltage applications. That could have had a negative impact on investments.

    Then you have seen the common market and harmonization of regulations with your own eyes. It's not perfect, but it's getting better by the day. I have seen many people directly benefiting from EU criticizing it to no end. Very com

    You are paranoid. Apple has started multiple keynotes by talking about Android security issues. Pointing fingers and ridiculing Google, Samsung and others. Then a few weeks later, a Google keynote would demo something on an iPad and praise
