For the UK in practice it is only distance measurements that are non metric now. For some things like small liquid amounts we colloquially use imperial - pints - which differ from US pints. I think the actual official volume is the metric i

However the abbreviation is STEM. For S and especiually M you can do in different units. For T&E it really matters see NASA's Mars Climate Orbiter and the need for heroics in the Gimli glider. You need to keep to the same unit.

Try using a tablet with hand written notes. There are programs (or even applications that replace the popup keyboard ) that will convert your writing into computer text. I think that gives the improved retention plus easy filing of the resu

Much easier to just drink enough so there is no chance of that happening. But then I am in UK where milk is easily obtained in 2 pint or less packages and is all long term - over a week. It is harder to gat 4 int or gallon containers which

Unfortunately it looks like only if you are running X11 which cuts most people out.

Yes - I come from an era when I used multiple Unixes and for several of them default shell was (t)csh. Don't assume anything in shells except POSIX sh. Unfortunately there are people who think Linux is the only way.

Yes it seems to be misused that wat - now just try to rerun scripts on macOS or BSD when the author thinks Linux is all there is.

macports eventually got an infrastructure that allowed binaries to be downloaded so no need for compilation on your local machine. SO the speed issue went away but too late as Hom,ebrew had gained the mind share

Noting that we British would always call our country "you kay" so .us would be derived from that. I suspect similar reasoning from Europe.

Webification and phones. You make more money selling software for phones and it is cheaper to use one stack to build all so you build things for the web first.

I have met many new consultants. Most were less productive than experienced people. There are exceptions but few.

Depends on the contract the parties agreed on.

It is a front end to wine the same as bottle. You can't boot Linux on Modern Apple machines. Asahi Linux is working on it, they support M1 and M2 machines but not later ones.

Yes that is my point

macports and fink managed in another directory for 8+ years before Anything using normal Unix build tools like autotools allow easy change of install directory.

The article is not talking about Excel at that point. But the program thw author is promoting says it does support dates before 1900. I would worry what it does for dates between 1582 and 1753 in Anglo countries. Basically you need to quote
228.
by pasc1878 2y ago
I would be careful on dates not just before 1582 but before 1753. Great Britain and its colonies (which included USA) did not change to Gregorian until 1752 and also to confuse more changed the date on when the year changed from March to 1s

I suspect because users and the originbal auithor did not understand multi user UNIX and so don't like the idea of having to use sudo and also they use Apple tools as much as possible rather than controlling the versions of libraries t

The important word here is "seems". Where is the case law that backs up your statements. Apple does not want to be part of a legal case re GPL.

Yes but what is it - they are just elements - no description of what they are.

But unlike in other countries that replaces a tip. My view was that previously large groups might not tip especially if splitting the bill but ones and twos would tip.

That has been true in all days not just recently.

In this case I would suggest that is Credit Suisse that is the problem - UBS were forced to take it over when problems were found.

It is no it an act it is "clean the swamp" that it is get rid of all the controls that the bureaucrats in Washington do. The reason a lot of them exist is to protect the public is probably lost on the public but fully understood b

In that case it is a large security risk as well as it does not work as per the article

The UK Labour government was opposed to Photo ID it was the right wing that introduced it. It is an Anglo-American thing not to have PhotoID probably related to never been invaded in the last two hundred years. The issue is that to get back

The problem in the US is they are not doing this if anything they are reducing the number of places you can get an ID.
