Not really, at least not in Windows. There are no cross-application macros in Windows, just intra-application ones, and that only for some applications. It is a little better on MacOS with AppleScript, which can be used to bind different ap

I've gotten surprised gasps for the use of etckeeper. "you can actually do that?" "why didn't anyone tell me?" etc.

Land registry in Germany is per city/town/municipality. Since land doesn't really move, it is always registered in the municipality where it is located. All titles, mortgages, owners and weirdnesses (local shepherd having the

Not sure where the actual limit is or if they changed it, I also don't have any hard sources, just heresay that there is "no limit". But there are 20 buildings over 150m, and 6 over 200m, so it probably is or was quite a bit

The other answers around here are mostly right, but I'd like to add another one, which is right in some situations: Message queues are often the wrong tool. Often you rather want something like RPC, and message queues were wrongly used

I'd guess apple would invent some "made for iCrap" certification plus parts authentication to keep prices up and skim off some money for themselves.

While zoning in Germany almost universally sets the limit at the height of the local church (yes, really...), the actual reasons are building codes. Even cities that permit arbitrary height (famously Frankfurt am Main) still don't have

Only direct elections are democratic. Everything else is at best semi-democratic.

Locking someone up is a one-way punishment, they will not get their years back. Branding someone as a child-molester, even if they are later vindicated, is permanent. We already have irreversible punishments.

Excel implementers struggle with it. Half the features of Excel cannot deal with named cells. Try for example to use named cells in Conditional Formatting. Doesn't work at all, ranges cannot be named cells or tables, and condition form

We don't need a subset of HTML. Actually, we need Markdown emails. You can format stuff that needs structure, but not abusively so (no blinking marquee banners in eyesore colors), it is sufficiently compatible to plaintext that you don

Berlin is also trying to improve it's standard of living, social structure, economic outlook and overall cleanliness. Graffiti vandalism will have less and less of a place there, and have a lessening acceptance.

Basically, in my ideal world, whoever builds an ugly enough building should be liable to remove it or improve it if it is deemed too ugly by a majority. Graffiti is (partially) just the consequence of not living in that ideal world, but bec

Also, the noise pollution regulations that are in place exempt trains.

I think the reason DB introduces this kind of measures over the obviously superior first steps like "building a quieter train" is this: Walls are paid for by the state or community annoyed by the train noise. New or improved train

An ugly beton brut building defaces the landscape and the view that should belong to everyone. A beautiful graffiti can improve that view and landscape. Under those circumstances, a graffiti can be legally wrong but morally right. However o

> irrelevant for a VCS (cloud-native?!) Disagree. "cloud-native" to me sounds offputting. One of the main selling points for me of git over the likes of SVN is the capability to work offline, in restricted networks and through

You are right in that the world would be a better place with more useful and actionable error messages. But: > How is it not obvious to the point of pain that you need to know WHY something failed, not only that it failed? This is obviou

There are reasons for not reporting detailed errors to the user. For websites, security is a big one. Detailed error messages can lead to information exfiltration, exploits, fingerprinting and generally bad things. Long error messages in so

This is missing the fact that the stainless steel from the ultra-durable umbrella is also easy to recycle. In fact, steel is far easier to recycle than any kind of plastic. Also, the whole work seems to skip over the huge problem of insuffi

Yes. But many parts of excel don't support those. E.g. conditional formatting just doesn't deal with names. Also, when you need names, it is a sign to reach for a proper programming enviroment like Delphi or Lazarus.

Python is a bad language for this, because one-liners are awkward. Multiline code is possible but ugly due to indentation-based syntax. Brace-based languages would be far more suitable here.

Sorry, English is not my native language. I know I sometimes sound strange because most of my use of the language is around the internet and at work, not that much casual "normal" conversation.

What can also help is specifying the right options right in ~/.ssh/config for certain hosts and domains: E.g. do "ForwardAgent no" globally, use a "Match *.my-trustworthy-company-domain.com" block and add &quot
