Another vote for Qidi from me. I have Qidi Plus4, which is amazing. I selected the UK version (where I live), and don't have any issues. I believe the faulty part issue you were re…

I mean, yes. I can understand why protests happen, because our own govt is not currently acting in our interests.

This is textbook whataboutism. I live in the UK. I'm outraged by how much time/money is spent on Israel and Ukraine issues than our own. Similar to yourself, I have to wonder why U…

Not sure why this was downvoted, but I agree. It is easy to see why an individual would choose life over death, if one has the means for a comfortable life. A second order question…

I'm not sure why you characterise this as political. I wish the "case" was a modifier like Italic, bold. It would have been easier to _not_ have separate ASCII codes for upper and …

Just like "You are not your code", may be we should also have a "You are not your Process Certificate" mantra. It is not the people that are dismissed, but those who insist on The …

How are you sure it did not happen? I am not suggesting India tried everything first, but neither party here has a proven track record of trustworthiness. If India wants to stop hi…

My daily driver has been lily58, which seems to have a good balance. It did take me quite a bit longer than I thought, but now it is quite comfortable - touch typing also feels mor…

This is clearly not true. There are term limits on how long the society is disallowed from using an idea. If I take good care of it, my table does not disappear in 5 years, nor can…

This is a case of people actively building and deciding to use a tool with plausible deniability built-in. How would you regulate people when they shirk any accountability? It is m…

Going back to the context of the thread: Not every risk has to be codified into the law, or enforced by the government. Should we make it illegal to prance around with a metal rod …

This sounds great on paper. However, the reason "Engineer" matters is because regulation requires it. If my company is required to get a sign off from an Engineer before software i…

Which specific engineers or individuals from Apple did you have in mind?

Boomin, and OnTheMarket seemed to have sprung up from estate agents being not happy with the status quo, and wanted to build their own platform. A few former Zoopla colleagues had …

Sorry you see it this way. I agree with a lot of what the parent said. The post started the black-and-white framing - the current situation is bad, and we need to fix it. A popular…

In theory, this is true. However, IME as a techie in the UK, those situations happen when there is a significant mismatch between the interview vs reality - from either side. Hirin…

Zoopla. It's been a couple of years I left, but I believe they still use Perl for the core business logic. There are wrappers/docker images built on top of them, but Perl is doing …

A lot of this synchronous process can be avoided - especially for techies - if there is good documentation. If your new tech hire cannot figure out the documentation: a) fix the do…

Your analogies are not helping your point :) Programmers are not the ones driving the plane or flying the car - they are the mechanics and engineers.

Can you point to this please? From my reading, it appears that their earlier patches were merged, but there is no mention of them being actual vulnerabilities. The lkml thread does…

Given the attitude of "the researchers" and an earlier paper [1] so far, somehow I doubt they will act in good faith this time. For instance: "D. Feedback of the Linux Community. W…

A better analogy: Attempting to pee in the community pool to research if the maintainers are doing a good job of managing the hygiene standards.

From what I understand, it is the size of the droplets. The ones leaving the wearer's mouth are much larger, therefore higher chances of the mask stopping them. The ones that are l…

> Reservation is not granted based on the last name. It is granted based on the caste marked in the documents. Yes. I was responding to "why not change the last name". There is a c…

The other side of the story is the positive discrimination via Reservations that some castes are granted for college admissions, jobs, promotions, financial help etc. available to …
