This is one of the main reasons for libre/free/open/choose_your_term software. Even when malice is not to be checked for, genuine error, incompetence, forgetfulness or plain indifference must be checked for.

The author might consider Nim - https://nim-lang.org/ . It is a statically-typed compiled language that about equals Rust in performance, but has a much cleaner higher-level Python-flavored syntax, and a very Pythonic parse

Does that warrant being deprived of 2 of 190 or so points thereof of my hard earned karma? Not that I am suggesting that you are the "hater" here.

They are not going to use Linux as the OS are they? This is the OS in which opening browser tabs cause music to go choppy. After more than 20 years of Linux this problem still exists. WTF? Did that ever happen on the Archimedes?

It means the US goverment can farm out spying on American citizens to friendly foreign agencies then claim to have no involvment in it. Brilliant. Sounds like "rendition"

This is not a political issue unless you want to make it so. It is a purely economic issue brought about by commercial interest. The fact that merchants and financiers depend on politicians to pass the laws which make it criminal to reverse

Because egregious misuses of public funds don't get the attention they deserve. How does a subsidy of £1.66 million for an investment which serves a whole community compare with a single payment for the personal consumption of an indiv

That is far less then the bonuses received by some individual bankers who only received them because their banks were bailed out by taxpayers, in the EU and elsewhere, which I presume includes some of the inhabitants of Eigg.

Frankly I don't see the point of these meaningless articles. You have a financial system which is akin to a police force whose commanders are chosen by the drug dealers, and the police employ former drug dealers on the grounds that hav

Some of the statistics seem to be so hyperbolic and I wonder whether it is due to Americas preference for the imperial units rather than metric units. It is much better to use terms that people can readily visualize. Does the writer prefer

There is some insider trading going on here. Why was it around $15 about a week ago, which didn't seem quite right, only for the Justice Department to drop this bombshell? It just means more QE from the ECB. The usual funny banking. M
