> Free speech has limits. Not in America, it does not. You folks have "hate speech" laws, banned symbols, banned words, banned expressions, and used to have banned video games, music, and movies. The core of your legal system

Not to mention the culture at work. I've never experienced a more stuffy, hierarchical, and old-fashioned IT "industry" as I have in Germany. I've been hosting my server with a German company for years. They have recentl

I have struggled with both points of the argument for a while now. In general, I'm inclined to agree with your assessment that this would be a glaring overreach on the side of the feds. It's also apparent that social networks have

To the point where the ACLU actively defended KKK members' First Amendment rights multiple times. Second, and more directly related to the events of this weekend, there are important reasons for our long history of defending freedom o

As far as I'm aware, that is only true for L1, not H1B, which has a 60 days grace period. I don't know how it affects folks with AOS to an I-485, though.

I use it on my Gazelle and have been surprised how well it works. All the user friendly helpers, even including their "app store" (which is essentially an APT GUI) are actually useful. The only issues I had with it were the lack o

For non-technical people, this is not surprising, as Google shoves it down your throat when you go to their website(s). For technical folks, I really don't understand it - I'm not a web developer, so my use case might be different

Some artists do special masters for vinyl, though. For Devin Townsend's new record, Empath, he spent an extra month (I believe) just mastering the vinyl version, not to mention the tremendous effort for extra artwork. This intentionall

I would argue that every single programmer with at least the tiniest bit of tenure in the field (or a kid straight out of college who took at least some math classes) will have run into this at some point in their life. Even if you (somehow

I find this to be very true. Before smartphones were a thing, I used to have a side-gig as semi-professional photographer for metal concerts. Semi-professional means in this case, I had an official accreditation for the venue and the band,

Do you happen to know if cpu and case fan controls work on Debian on your machine? I have a server with a very similar setup, but cannot control the fans. ~ sensors No sensors found!

That is precisely what the projects I'm usually involved in do. A client might want "buzzword technology", but at the heart of it, what they really need are stable, scalable, and consolidated data pipelines to e.g. Hadoop or

Are they, though? I got back into a video game the other day that was released 15 years ago (also when I first played it). There were plenty of dedicated websites around the game, most of them with forums that contained guides, little detai

It sometimes feels like they encourage it by not taking measures against obvious fakes. Take a look at this: https://smile.amazon.com/TNSO-Certified-Lightning-Charging-C... The "top reviews" are all positive, but

It's always fascinating how people here generalize an entire continent's major cities by anecdotal evidence from one city. This can also be observed by comments from people clearly living in SV or NYC - none of those apply to subu

It is, to a degree. However, given the intentionally lose definition of it, the interpretation of this topic is up to the individual and the group. The BBC piece explicitly mentions this - with almost no ties to politics and an open door po

Purely from a technical perspective and ignoring the political implications, I don't think that phones are helping all that much. I travel quite frequently and work with a lot of people across the US (as well as Europe and India), who

I cannot confirm this at all. I have some friends who work in Germany (I left several years ago to the US), and even those in senior tech jobs with years of experience only get up to ~80k EUR and the sky-high taxes push that down to <50k
