Linux has its own weird implicit copy paste on the mouse - pressing the wheel pastes the last thing you selected.

It depends though - if you’re copy pasting between programs, you’re probably using your mouse already, so it’s good that the buttons are there. But if you’re writing or editing text, you probably have your hands on the keyboard, so you need the shortcut there as well.

More vulnerable, probably yes. Phones are very locked down and secured (unless you root or install custom firmware).

But, they are still worse for privacy due to how they’re used. The phone (and thus Google and Apple and Facebook and others) has access to your location all the time - your computer doesn’t. The computer is only vulnerable when on - the phone is always on.

The threats are different and from different sources. Random hackers mining shitcoins on your computer, big companies knowing what you’re doing when you carry your phone.

This is about light rail though, which is usually built in cities (or, at least between a city and its suburbs). So I wonder how much of the cost (for both rail and road) is for land rights.

That’s still my favorite EU legislation. The price that is displayed must be equal (or higher, discounts are still allowed) to the price that you pay. Taxes, tips, fees, everything must be included in the price.

Ginger is a root and ale is a beer, but ginger ale is not root beer.

It is great because it allows you to eliminate bad candidates very quickly. It can’t be the only test, but it’s very useful as the first one.

I think they meant 3/7/21 instead of the standard 3/5/15.

A Windows version becomes considered “good” the exact moment a next version is released. No sooner, no later. Those are the rules.

No Niles?

I was a pretty big fan of Frasier so I’ll probably try to see at least one episode (when I can get it in Europe), but I don’t have hopes up. It seems nobody else does either.

On the other hand, Rodney Trotter? This just seems weird.

The wealth will finally trickle down!

There’s a great test for programmers called FizzBuzz. It’s an extremely easy task - print some numbers (maybe 1 to 100), but replace them with Fizz if they’re divisible by 3, by Buzz if they’re divisible by 5, or by FizzBuzz if they’re both.

Many reasonable people consider it way too easy - if you can write this, it doesn’t mean that you can write complex programs, or that you know the applicable languages, or that you know anything about the business domain.

But interviewers know that it’s a great test because a lot of so-called programmers still fail it.

Do you mean their economy and policies, or their people? In either case, I agree.

Market != Capitalism. You can have a free market without capitalism, and capitalism without a free market.

The hexbears will attack me for saying that a regulated free market is good and a planned economy is bad. The others will attack me for saying that capitalism is bad and that we should have market socialism instead. But if we can’t have that, a capitalist free market has proven much less bad than any planned economy, as long as it’s regulated enough that it stays free.

The burn to slow it down into a low orbit went too long, which made the resulting orbit too low (so low that it intersected the surface).

No word yet on why the burn was too long.

Neverball seems far less known than the other ones, but it’s really good and has tons of levels.

no one is defending Putin, the US set the stage for the invasion

That has to be the shortest contradiction.

Yeah, you can call yourself a leftist all you want, but when 90% of your posts is calling Biden and Zelensky Nazis but you never criticize Putin or Trump, I get certain doubts.

Just more proof that it was never about mRNA.

Zero. There was actually a big story about this.

Slovenian here, first of all huge thanks to Ukraine, it’s crazy what they have going on in their own country, and they still sent help to us for the floods.

Second thing, there was a big misinformation campaign claiming that Russia offered help and Slovenia declined it, either because our ruling party politicians are russophobes or because of EU/NATO pressure. But this was simply not true, investigators checked, and the rebuttal was published on most major news sites, so most people at least know the truth.
