You still could set up a study where you have tasks that users must complete and you get countable results. But this would quickly get expensive, so you need a sponsor. This could either be Apple, Google, or some other company in the market

In Germany, everyone is allowed to watch when votes are counted in their local election office. Is there a similar way to follow the counting in the US?

Since most source code will be maintained via Git, there's almost no security at all, since you can easily rewrite Git history.

I don't get why they couldn't fit both a touch bar and the function keys on a 16 inch laptop. Other vendors manage to put a numpad on their notebooks of similar sizes.

Can somebody please summarize what happened in the SO management? How did SO lead the community in the past? What has changed? This post is lacking some context for outsiders. I have been writing questions and answers for several years, but

Straightforward only if you know these commands. I've never heard of the Get/Remove-AppxPackage commands before, but thanks for the tip!

You mean like in Go? func add(x int, y int) int { return x + y } I doubt this is more readable, but everyone has their own taste.

I've had use cases for subqueries long before I knew about window functions. This was just the example from the article where subqueries provide a solution.

In my company, every software engineer also has the software architect role. This way everybody is aware that they are welcome to think about the architecture of software. There are no dedicated architects. This works quite well in my exper

Exactly. And since most corporations I deal with have at least an office in a European country, I almost never have to deal with US banks.

Even between EU countries? I wouldn't think so, but I'm no expert.

A problem that often isn't considered is firmware/drivers. In the smartphone world you often can't simply install a driver for your new 5G module, for example. I haven't seen a solution for this, yet.

You can do almost everything you can do with any other high end phone. I think the smartphone market will soon settle at a much slower pace like the PC/notebook market. I haven't replaced my personal notebook since 2012.

The article mentions that tha parts of the Fairphone 2 are not compatible with this version, unfortunately. Maybe future versions will be compatible to the Fairphone 3, though.

The problem with making things simpler is compatibility. If you make something simpler, but don't stay compatible, it might be better to just find a new name for your simple version.

I recently debugged through a case where this was a problem with non-ASCII usernames. Through an upgrade of an underlying docker image the default system encoding changed from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 and nobody noticed. This even passed QA sinc

Unfortunately Germany gradually turns into the US: The "Soziale Marktwirtschaft" is slowly being replaced by predatory capitalism.

Well, German actually has the similar word "wandeln", which means something like "to stroll" and is often used in phrases like "unter den Toten wandeln", which can be translated as "to walk among the dead&
