Yeah and this still wouldn't cover something like xz-utils because I would only be aware of end user projects and not the libraries behind them. I'd have to draw up entire dependency graphs.

Now run an emulator within an emulator for extra acceleration.

Jokes aside, I think what you're looking for is called a multiviewer. You want a 2x1 multiviewer to get a view like that, though it might be split vertically rather than horizontally.

F5 is American, they just had a Moscow office.

However the creator of nginx, Igor Sysoev, is Russian.

Interesting though as it shows what "hard Brexit" was. Not in the customs union, economic area or council; just yeeted all the way out.

The best part is the voting slip never defined any of it and, if taken literally, the UK would still be in the EEA.

This isn't acceptable. If it's important to the government, then all the more reason to hold them to account. This whole scandal makes a mockery of software engineering as if there is no way to ensure quality.

I work on software arguably less critical than this, in that it's never been used to prosecute anyone, yet any discrepancy in numbers is found by QA, understood and duly fixed. Why can't we demand the same from software which the outputs of can and are used as evidence in court? Why is it acceptable for them to say "it was too costly?"

obscure corporate jargon like KPIs (key performance indicators), KRIs (key risk indicators) which, after having thrown them at me during an interview for a college intern position, made the interviewer wonder why i got so flustered. i would hesitate to throw any acronyms around in any interview, let alone for a college student.

by the way, i got the internship. the acronyms weren't even used in my position.

I think these are the articles:

but, to add nuance, it doesn't really tell you much about cause and effect. It's not a lie but it's a pretty hard conclusion to draw from a few figures.

Nice try, boss.

I don't even mind the shortened arguments too much, though it doesn't help. It's more that every example seems to smush them together into a string of letters.

I would have found

tar -x -f pics.tar ./pics

to be clearer when I was learning. There's plenty of commands which allow combining flags but every tar tutorial seems to do it from the beginning.

As the owner of a Fairphone 4, don't get one.

It's sold as a 5G phone but crashes intermittently if you actually enable 5G. I bought a 5G phone and I'm still on 4G. I wish I could say that's the most of the problems, I could live with that.

The software support, in my opinion, is falsely advertised. You do get 5 years of kernel and Android updates but the system-on-chip updates, which aren't made by Fairphone, end October of this year. That's a whole important part of the updates which cease only 2 years into support.

Then, there's the real kicker; the hardware root of trust has the (publicly available) AOSP test keys installed. This means anyone can sign and flash a verified ROM if they have access to the unlocked phone. That's perhaps not too important for most people, but it screams incompetence and it means you cannot trust a second hand device.

When the SoC support is up, I'm moving to a Pixel. I'm done rolling the dice on Android phone manufacturers and I want a well implemented device.
