Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket Eric Hoffer. I don't know why you try to make an exception and claim that some lobbyists in Brussels are selflessly pushing for gree

This sounds more like a vassal than an ally. You "usually follow them in foreign policy"? Does that imply that sometimes the US follows you?

How is this better than a mathematics book with exercises (and solutions to them at the end or in a second book)?

The linked issue reads: google-cloud-cli python module is also large at > 1.1GB which is much much worse than ~300MB, is this a mistake in the title?

Wow, in your last link about Baudot's code we read: In 1876, he changed from a six-bit code to a five-bit code, as suggested by Carl Friedrich Gauss and Wilhelm Weber in 1834 . I have seen references to Gauss' name in so many pla

Thanks for taking the time to write this down. Unexpected, that MS behaves like this, and useful to know.

I used to keep my resume in LaTeX until around that time, but I keep it in neatroff, without any macro sets, since then. In LaTeX, because of the macros and packages, I did not have full control of everything. My candidates were switching t

With what purpose? Why do you want two different directories? On second thought, maybe you mean ~/Uploads could be unveiled read-only, though I still don't believe this brings much.
