And Windows 10 was clearly faster.

Than Windows 11, that is.

"Legally required", so they're seeing it in the local laws. Some countries require websites to disclose who operates them.

For example, in Germany, websites are subject to the DDG (Digitale-Dienste-Gesetz, "digital services law"). Under this law they are subject to the same disclosure requirements as print media. At a minimum, this includes the full name, address, and email address. Websites ~~updated~~ operated by companies or for certain purposes can need much more stuff in there.

Your website must have a complete imprint that can easily and obviously be reached from any part of the website and is explicitly called "imprint".

These rules are meaningless to someone hosting a website in Kenya, Australia, or Canada. But if you run a website in Germany you'd better familiarize yourself with them.

Not really. 32-bit libraries are mostly relevant for people who want to play old games, which mostly means old Windows games. Windows software doesn't tend to use Unix timestamps a lot.

Wouldn't the half-name actually be "Cla"? "Santa Claus" is the anglicised version of "Sinterklaas", a Dutch adaptation of Saint Nicholas.

I work for a publicly traded company.

We couldn't switch away from Microsoft if we wanted to because integrating everything with Azure and O365 is the cheapest solution in the short term, ergo has the best quarterly ROI.

I don't think the shareholders give a rat's ass about data sovereignty if it means a lower profit forecast. It'd take legislative action for us to move away from an all-Azure stack.

And yes, that sucks big time. If Microsoft stops playing nice with the EU we're going to have to pivot most of our tech stack on a moment's notice.

It's not terribly exciting but I find myself using this a lot:

#!/bin/sh

echo "$*" | sed -e "s/x/*/g" | bc -l

Just a little shorthand for bc that allows me to write "x" instead of "*" to avoid shell expansion nonsense. I put it in ~/.local/bin/= so I can e.g. just write = 17+4x5. Combined with a Quake-style terminal this is much faster than launching a calculator app. It's a script instead of an alias so it works regardless of the shell I'm currently using.

The call to bc -l could be replaced with one to qalc -t if you know qalc to be present on the system .

I'm not sure. The body blocks the nacelles' line of sight so all you could do would be to give each wing its own warp bubble.

Also, of course, the Galaxy class wasn't in service by stardate 2259.55 – that's when Into Darkness is set so the best they could be escorted by is an upgunned Constitution class.

It's important to learn your definitions.

Aro ace: Aromantic, asexual.

Aero ace: Shot down five other planes in war while flying a plane.

Arrow ace: Acquired every skill known to man by spending five years on an abandoned island, most of which wasn't actually spent on the island.

Because JavaScript and its complete absence of a standard library is a horrible abomination that should've been put out of our misery years ago.

My brother decided that Bitcoin was likely to steadily increase in value (in the long term) and spent about a thousand bucks to buy three of 'em. Then he got hit with some surprise money trouble and had to liquidate, losing about a third of his investment.

He was not amused when BTC became an investment hype.

Full stack developer:

The lightbulb is broken. Deploys a lightweight fix that involves 17 metric tons of chandeliers, stadium floodlights, sconces, and the necessary infrastructure to operate the street lights for a city of 500.000. His solution delivers a solid 100 lm of light using only 175 MW of power.

There's a reason why oldschool X-Com players kept coming back to the games despite technical issues like the Groundhog Day bug. (Thank all applicable deities for OpenXcom solving those issues, though.)
