Take the case of F-35, the only country which has source codes apart from the U.S. is the UK. A very special exemption. They are also the only Tier 2 partner. Everybody else has basically a black box of code given to them in terms of code f

American newscasters and classic film stars sported an accent half in between the U.S.- UK accents, also called as Transatlantic accent. Look back at old films even as late the end of 60s and you wil hear it.

When it was conceived, it was the right aircraft. By the time it arrived, market conditions changed. So it became the wrong plane. That's really to it. Really.

Unfortunately with the chaos with the UK and it likely crashing out, there will be a less of vocal opposition. Though, ironically, the UK itself right now can't seem to make up its own mind up about anything.

You guys drink/ booze like it's going out of fashion. Must be all those cold long Wisconsin winters. Madison is an OK place in summer, but not a place I would like to live in. And this coming from a guy who grew up in Michigan. I

I totally agree with your point. But unfortunately/ fortunately, those other fields you mention do require a degree as a minimum. But again, they also tend to have larger consequences (usually), compared to a few bad lines of code (usu

There's probably a template which rearranges the words a bit and fills in your company specific info. It's going to be aahmazing!

You will find that the Swiss comply with most EU laws, including GDPR in most instances. And so is/has/will the UK. You really can't sit next to one of the largest trading blocs in the world and ignore it, unless you don'

Kia ora! The "issue" here is that most sites which want to cater to worldwide audiences pretty much try to comply with influential legislation to stay on the good side. And GDPR/EU regs wield a big enough stick and come from

Wasn't this tried/mooted a few years ago but got nowhere in the end? But you also have to understand that for many/most of these types of professional bodies in other fields, you need to have a basic BS type degree to be accr

Same here. I sometimes have a glass of wine or beer while working with some music on and zone out and get some proper work done. Maybe it calms down my hyperactive brain a bit - I did have ADHD as a kid and used to take meds. Of course, the

So true. At my last job, one of my managers used to complain that he wasn't "seeing" more of his people in the office. Never mind the fact that the stuff actually got done on time and under budget. He had a wife and 3 kids at

Same here, I enjoy seeing my colleagues as well. But I prefer something like 2/3 days in the office and rest from home. This arrangement works better for me, covers all my needs/preferences.

I doubt McDs has the worst burgers but I get your point. The pros of McDs, you go anywhere in the world, you can expect reasonable quality, the familiarity of the brand/ products at reasonable prices. They won't be the best or the

Or at an Ashram somewhere. There's probably lot better alternatives to prison, just to get "away from it all." Plus, in places like these, you can do some good via service to others. /a cousin of mine who has a fancy PhD

The UK Civil Service already does this. They ask you to remove all PII, school/ university names. That said you can leave your previous employer names in it. They call it "name-blind" recruitment.

The thing is we shouldn't have to do this. The beauty of the 3.5 was the fact that you could've gone to pretty much any remote corner of the earth and you probably could've access to one if you lost yours.
