> Free speech has limits. Not in America, it does not. You folks have "hate speech" laws, banned symbols, banned words, banned expressions, and used to have banned video games, mus…

Not to mention the culture at work. I've never experienced a more stuffy, hierarchical, and old-fashioned IT "industry" as I have in Germany. I've been hosting my server with a Ger…

I have struggled with both points of the argument for a while now. In general, I'm inclined to agree with your assessment that this would be a glaring overreach on the side of the …

To the point where the ACLU actively defended KKK members' First Amendment rights multiple times. Second, and more directly related to the events of this weekend, there are importa…

As far as I'm aware, that is only true for L1, not H1B, which has a 60 days grace period. I don't know how it affects folks with AOS to an I-485, though.

I use it on my Gazelle and have been surprised how well it works. All the user friendly helpers, even including their "app store" (which is essentially an APT GUI) are actually use…

> Instead, NoSQL systems like HBase, Cassandra, and MongoDB became fashionable as they marketed themselves as being scalable and easier to use HBase did not - the project has alway…

For non-technical people, this is not surprising, as Google shoves it down your throat when you go to their website(s). For technical folks, I really don't understand it - I'm not …

Some artists do special masters for vinyl, though. For Devin Townsend's new record, Empath, he spent an extra month (I believe) just mastering the vinyl version, not to mention the…

Probably OpenStreetMap/Nominatim or something along those lines.

I would argue that every single programmer with at least the tiniest bit of tenure in the field (or a kid straight out of college who took at least some math classes) will have run…

I find this to be very true. Before smartphones were a thing, I used to have a side-gig as semi-professional photographer for metal concerts. Semi-professional means in this case, …

Do you happen to know if cpu and case fan controls work on Debian on your machine? I have a server with a very similar setup, but cannot control the fans. ~ sensors No sensors foun…

That is precisely what the projects I'm usually involved in do. A client might want "buzzword technology", but at the heart of it, what they really need are stable, scalable, and c…

Are they, though? I got back into a video game the other day that was released 15 years ago (also when I first played it). There were plenty of dedicated websites around the game, …

It sometimes feels like they encourage it by not taking measures against obvious fakes. Take a look at this: https://smile.amazon.com/TNSO-Certified-Lightning-Charging-C... The "to…

> I apologize for my misleading post, my experience is based on living in multiple major and / or university cities in southwestern Germany, 3-10 days visits to smaller and larger …

It's always fascinating how people here generalize an entire continent's major cities by anecdotal evidence from one city. This can also be observed by comments from people clearly…

It is, to a degree. However, given the intentionally lose definition of it, the interpretation of this topic is up to the individual and the group. The BBC piece explicitly mention…

It's not just news. It's ever website, with some notable exceptions, such as HN (minimal, curated, informative headlines, no bloat) or some private blogs (as the one linked - 2.2KB…

I would be interested in that.

I'm inclined to disagree to a degree. I don't use my phone for anything but Messengers and Twitter (apart from the "utilities", such as Uber or an alarm) - and have deleted by Twit…

Purely from a technical perspective and ignoring the political implications, I don't think that phones are helping all that much. I travel quite frequently and work with a lot of p…

I cannot confirm this at all. I have some friends who work in Germany (I left several years ago to the US), and even those in senior tech jobs with years of experience only get up …
