I think Jetbrains did that already; the Kotlin LSP server is derived from the (also open source) IntelliJ plugin

Curse Apple and their planned obsolescence /s.

I’ve seen bugs like this in prod systems. The notional value of the error tends to make the people concerned anything but silent.

They do. You just seem to expect that it will somehow be free.

This always irritates me, because it used to be just like that. First time we bought Jira, it was like a (small ) one-off charge on someone’s card, and included full source code to…

Sure it does. Just tap ‘More Info’ to show them

This is kind of an interesting contrast with BSH (Bosch and Siemens home appliances ), who are also German. They appear to have seen making their Home Connect platform open as at l…

Retaliating against someone for asserting their legal rights also gets way riskier what they have already won in litigation.

Why are you misrepresenting about UK law? Yes, it can be a criminal offence. But the maximum tariff for this under RIPA 2000 is five years. If it’s not about nation security or CSA…

> Nothing (reasonable) can protect against direct lightning strikes This is one reason why you bury power cables.

I knew this would be PICK. My uncle, a very tech-savvy accountant type, used it a lot back in the day and always had nice things to say about it.

It is said be way of comparison to modern platforms. Which seems pretty accurate.

I think it’s a few things - lots of places kind of Teams by default - or Slack or discord m, even WhatsApp - or in intensive cases, things like Refinitiv, Bloomberg, and, Symphony …

I can't speak for how effective the process is, but this is the idea behind the EU/UK GPSR's Authorised Representative framework - though not exactly local (that would be excessive…

Nope. Regulation of cars , like anything, is expensive. It’s worthwhile for cars for safety reasons, but bikes are cheaper, and also way less dangerous in general, so need a lighte…

More practically, it’s about if someone hits you or someone you care about with their car or the like. Aggregation of data like Flock does is a different matter and can be handled …

Counties with effective privacy laws focus on the control and processing of the data. Regulating data processing like this is common and should not be controversial.

That’s kind of the point of license plates though. They are there firstly so that when a driver damages something or hurts someone, they can be held responsible. What’s so bad abou…

Observe how you have to scroll down past the other senses mentioned to reach this one; dictionaries usually put the common senses first.

People here might not notice - your link is the official client interface for talking to KDB+ processes from Java. There's a decent chance your broker (or their dealers) are using …

Depends on how decent your friends are… one couple I know in particular, they both love MTB, but have different endurance levels, so with one having an e-bike it evens out nicely.

This is common for corporate investor relations sites. They serve entirely different audiences and are usually separately managed for the product sites, it’s also common for the la…

This historic meaning is also the sense of ‘Middle Earth’ in the Tolkien books; for instance The Lord of the Rings is notionally a retelling of the end of the third age in our worl…

Outlook’s done this for like a decade? Ditto Apple mail. I think they do the same with email addresses and phone numbers too, it’s kind of useful and not a big deal.

Used to work on a farm, and yes we did do this. Also, our wash down hoses were basically power washers, but like 10x the volume.
