Some countries, e.g. Poland, require you to turn on your left indicator as soon as you enter a roundabout and as long as you stay in the roundabout. If you intend to exit, you have…

I beg to differ. If you have a metric on "time since last outage", people will be incited to hide problems. There is extensive writing on this subject http://rachelbythebay.com/w/2…

> My understanding is that Signal (the app) is private, not anonymous, centralized, and closed. You are right about that. There used to be an open source build called LibreSignal M…

I would like to second that. Big corp introduces a constant uphill battle and people get minted to avoid conflict (Why do you want to spend money on a subject that is not on your b…

If you ever happen to study computer science, you may come across a subject called "coding theory". It introduces you to compression as well as many other topics such as error corr…

Thank you dang very much for that explanation. It is a good example of social interaction and of second order effects. You are setting a good role model.

I am trying to make sense of the argument of pushing configuration into a library: * if the library is just a dependency, the Linux loader will set it up. It will have the same env…

You are right, you do not want to lookup documents that old, it is a waste of time... ... unless you are a German and the state asks for your time sheets three years in the past be…

Salary depends on your country (Swiss pays higher wages than Poland), region within your country (South Germany has many more engineering companies and pays higher wages than North…

you are right, it was abandoned. I forgot about that. From my understanding there never was an official successor, that's why I consider VeraCrypt a fork.

Last time I checked the state of TrueCrypt it was 2014. There used to be an audit saying "build chain is outdated, but software is fine" and an hostile fork named VeraCrypt came to…

May I recommend you try Debian and its package `unattended-upgrades`. Besides, I recommend servicing the device every so often. People create weird failure modes (putting too many …

Roots of progress puts it nicely: A great leap forward needs supporting factors, therefore it does not appear every year [1]. I think: If a great leap forward appears, famous peopl…

In Germany you are not allowed to downplay, deny or condone the Holocaust. It is part of the criminal code. § 130 iii StGB https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/stgb/__130.html > Mit …

For the sake of this argument, lets suppose you run a git server. Users $(ssh) into your host and are only allowed to execute the command $(git), for instance for submitting a copy…

I would like to attempt an explanation. It boils down to learning complexity. > why C is used in lieu of other "better-C" non-managed languages, such as C++, D, Nim, Rust, or Zig I…

since you are already in the ridiculous area, ehm, soccer fields... German journalists love to compare weights in Jumbo Jets.

I would like to second that. I would even take education options into account, if I had kids. I did the calculation for my current job (Germany, huge telekommunications company, ci…
