Well, it's been working fine for me for about 15 years, let's agree to disagree here. I would still find it easier to remember to change the tires at +1°C than whatever the hell it…

There's very little difference between e.g. +25°C and +26°C, not sure why you would need event more accuracy in day to day life. There are decimals if you require that for some rea…

What the hell are you talking about. If it's 0°C outside (or below that), I know that it's high time to put winter tires on because the water in the puddles will freeze and driving…

Either a couple of FIDO keys, if your website supports them, or one of these: https://www.token2.com/shop/category/classic-tokens https://www.token2.com/shop/category/c301-tokens h…

Unless you're living in the middle of nowhere and the only people you're close to are the ones you have nothing in common with. Besides superficial characteristics like ethnicity a…

'ч' reads like 'ch', but I think you've decoded it the wrong way.

I'm pretty sure it's a Signal ID.

I am not even in Russia, but that war pulled so much out of every region, including mine (which did not see fighting directly, but provided many conscripts and resources), that aft…

No I did not, and I have no desire to play the guessing game when it comes to these things. There are lots of FOSS alternatives with no strings attached, or honest commercial proje…

This. I wish more users that prefer quite primitive text editors would broaden their horizons and learn at least one proper IDE. It's been honestly quite funny reading comments for…

Yeah, just be careful never to respond to your work emails whilst using this keyboard. "Sorry boss, I can't be bothered right now because my keyboard prohibits me from using it for…

Yes, laptops without a windows license are pretty popular in at least some poorer countries. Most buyers install windows anyway and activate it via massgrave and friends, which let…

They're not more "random" than developers of a lot of software you run. Package quality tends to be pretty good, I've only seen doubtful things once or twice in about a decade, and…

This doesn't make it legitimate. You can just activate it through any of the third party kms servers (or massgrave for non-volume licensed versions) and stop pretending you have a …

It's a rebuild with a few more patches on top (like ksplice). If you need a RHEL rebuild , they're the first to release security updates of any of the rebuilds I've tested. See my …

Oracle also was the first to release updates last time I compared the three of them side by side, which was about a year ago. I installed Rocky, Alma and Oracle 9 on three VMs, poi…

I really don't think a slightly different syntax is enough of an argument to bring a separate language, introduce another massive dependency (and another vendor) into your supply c…

For boring line of business and crud applications there is almost no difference with latest versions of Java, and the feature gap closes with every release. I recently finished (ho…

As far as I'm aware, the only officially supported way of shipping Java applications is by building custom runtimes with jlink. So if you want to play by the rules, it doesn't matt…

Yes, C# is better by every measure and has had everything we can only dream of for decades. You can stop coming to every discussion of Java with the same old story.

Maybe this has changed in recent years, or it's different in the south or the west of the country where more "ultra-patriots" live, but it wasn't my experience at all in the middle…

That's fair, thanks, I edited it out.

Kazakhstan has a problem with Islamic extremists and the government is very much worried about it and spends a lot of money fighting it. They put cameras in every mosque, for examp…

Yeah, "the West" lost a lot of goodwill in the region in the last couple of decades to be able to talk from such a high moral ground. I don't have any studies — they're probably im…
