There are next to no security checks on stations that I regularly use throughout Germany, the Netherlands, and Austria. I believe that French stations have a turnstile at the platform for TGV trains. Other than that, I know security checks

The main point of the article is that by "covering your ass" you are actually becoming a better developer, because the prose you write is plans and documentation and gives your thoughts structure. Hence, your personal productivity

I wonder the same. This proposal sounds like it is leeching nutrients from the ground and storing it for a long time (on a scale of centuries in the proposal). How do these nutrients cycle back for growing the food that we need? Or, for tha

Okay, that is fair: I am also not happy about us being late with security patches for several weeks. I am not directly involved in that anymore, but I believe, we currently have a policy to release updates quarterly. Back when I was still w

What do you mean with "abhorrent record on dealing with security issues"? And you would even prefer Lineage OS? Isn't that still more or less mandating userdebug builds and entirely open? Disclaimer: I work for Fairphone.

The PDF format is diverse enough for such a new project to still have plenty of incompatibilities. If you wanted to find many of them quickly, you might want to have a look at the documents used as test cases in other projects, such as pdf.
