On a "what's reasonable" level, or on a "gets you called in by a minister or MP to be yelled at" level?

Solidarity to all of the folks who have had to work with elected officials. I got ripped a new one because I recommended we disable a PHP project in the mid-2000s because a hay bale reporting app (report counts of bay hales on farms) due to an RCE bug. Within a few hours of the app being disabled there was drama from a politician who got a phone call from a prominent farmer...

better find a nickname, like D's community did, using dlang lol otherwise no one could find anything on language googling

how hard would it be to learn BASIC using Google? "Basic Programming" is going to have a lot of irrelevant results.

Google have a hardcoded exception for the band "the the".

SiriusXM truncates a "The" prefix from artist names (so "The Cure" and "The Who" become "Cure" and "Who"). I always wondered how it would display The The. Would it be "The The" (special case), "The" (default removal of "The"), or an empty string "" (in the unlikely case the algorithm recursively removed "The" prefixes)? Eventually they played a The The song and the answer is "The The".

I was wondering how much it costs to open a company in the UK to do something like that, and it seems to be really cheap (and quick): a) Incorporate directly via Companies House The standard registration fee to set up a company is just £12 for the ‘standard’ Companies House web incorporation service, which takes up to 24 hours to turnaround. You can pay via credit card, debit card or PayPal. Source: https://www.itcon…

Yes, it is. Do they still require a minimum of two officers? (Spam warning: if you form a company at your home address, you will be inundated with paper spam for office equipment. Especially from Dell.)
