That would be very cool to have in a code autoformatter

At this point they should just consider disconnecting the UK from the wider internet

I was using the N900 when it came out and at that point Android was in no way superior to whatever Nokia was doing. Their main misstep was choosing Windows Phone and shipping the N9 as a dead-on-arrival product. Nonetheless the UX was pretty ahead of its time and we could have had a real Qt based Linux phone OS

Maemo and Meego were so good

And 16 year olds the british army: https://jobs.army.mod.uk/how-to-join/can-i-apply/age/#

Because currently Gaza is still officially occupied territory and Israel is reponsible

I feel like most things degrade as a matter of scope-creep, while trying to implement features that are actually complex and non-trivial.

Take the unholy mess of modern Microsoft Office. MS Office might have been a good tool for a single purpose back in the 80s, but the addition of multiple generation/layers of features that have been halfway abandoned but kept for compatibilitys sake, make any more complex task non-trivial. There are multiple approaches for implementing templating MS Word, none of which are really good. MS Macros have been great… if you are trying to get arbitrary code execution on Windows machines. And collaboretive editing features include halfway abandoned sharing features and a half-baked Web Version of Office 365.

As a matter of fact I don’t believe this is purely out of corporate greed, but rather a lack of scope limitation during design. People don’t ask if they should, if they simply can do. We shouldn’t have macros inside of Text Documents, there should be another tool for that. We shouldn’t have SQL queries pulling into Excel Worksheets. We shouldn’t use Excel as a database, but people had to change names of biological genes to avoid these being autoformatted in Excel.

But as a matter of fact, in general one is limited to working with the tools one knows, so convincing someone to use the correct tool for a job will always be harder than just delivering additional features, that we know will make the overall product worse.

Guess he has only been working 250x as hard as the other employees

Let me guess… US? I can never understand why people dont lobby for higher minimum days off there

Reducing human oversight and intervention in HR will definitely not lead to problems down the road.

Commonly they dont recommend embryotoxic medication in woman of childbearing age, as unecpected pregnancies happen and the chance for severe birth defects increase. Sometimes these can only be detected late into a pregnancy, so if the person might want to keep a pregnancy it would be not to take it.

I think even similar trends in men, look at images of strong men 100 years ago. Professional bodybuilding has really shifted perceptions

If this passes, smartphone manufacturers are going to register their devices as religious artifacts

What do you propose to make games fair without cheating countermeasures?

Open source is not sufficient, you also need to be sure that the version you install is the version you inspected. In Appstore or Playstore for mobile this is not straightforward. Hell, even linux packages sometimes contain tons of maintainer patches that are not upstreamed

I wouldn’t trust my country to competently run anything internet related

Windows Server is rather common in large enterprise software. All the stuff you pray you never have to interface with

Any messaging app is vastly superior to SMS

I feel like the fediverse would be better off without a lot of current X users

All companies seem to be doing their best lately to cure us of our social media addiction.
