Really? I see them when travelling to London all the time. I used to live in London too. A very common occurrence and if you want to keep traffic moving, allowing people that can proceed to do so, just makes sense to me.

Nope. People are on a roundabout and in the UK you will be going clockwise. So traffic on the roundabout is coming from your right.

I've driven in Italy/Germany and it is the opposite. People are going anti clockwise so you have to give way to your left.

The principle is retained on mini roundabouts where you give way to people on the entrance/exit to your immediate right (or of course traffic already on the roundabout) even though those work most similar to 3/4 way stops.

Stop signs don't need to follow logic of traffic movement direction so you I suppose give priority to the right because being on the right side of the road they are easier to see? I'm not sure where those rules were formulated though.

Yeah I think allowing a write in answer is too risky. You will end up with 12 unique text answers otherwise.

I do like the idea of the equivalent of an open verdict. Which is probably a mix of options 1 and 3 from your list. If you don't believe either of the provided options are suitable and you don't want to skip then this option would be a nice thing.

Needs a skip option for questions you're really not comfortable giving a reply to (I maybe missed it if there). I hit one I really did feel was far too subjective to give a reply to that might even potentially be taken seriously.

Otherwise a nice idea.

This seems quite similar to what we call I'm the UK inverse snobbery. It was quite a big thing (apparently) during ww2.

Depends on the size of the roundabout. For one big enough they could both join simultaneously and maintain a safe distance, that's fine. If not, if you drive on the left the one on the right has priority and vice versa for the rest of the world.

In fact it's only a problem if people arrive simultaneously at all junctions, since now there's no person to the right of everyone.

In this case usually everyone stops (unless one of the cars is a BMW or audi) and then someone will start to move first. After which normal operational rules are restored.

There are specific times when this might be appropriate. For example if I am turning off at the exit after where the car is joining from, I can see they're indicating to making a move around the inner part of the roundabout which is clear, and if I proceeded I would join a queue for my exit and block them. I'll usually stop short and gesture they move in.

But otherwise it's usually safer all round to stick to the rules.

Well couple of things.

You don't know how long C has been incorrectly yielding. There may well have been enough time for them both to move onward.

Also there's nothing to say that A isn't a yet undiscovered C.

I'm from the UK so roundabouts are second nature. I've been an accidental C before. Where I had to wait for a lot of cars that had priority over me. When it finally was open for me I was zoned out. Luckily the car behind me was very polite and just used a short beep of the horn to bring me back to reality.

OK now see, if I saw that I'd think it was a parody. With the alpha male, right there in the name still.

GOTTEM!

But seriously, it's like chicken wings, without the bones. I'd not seen them until I went to the USA years and years ago. Now I see them over here in the UK too. Couldn't say when they arrived here for sure though.

If you have to tell everyone, you're not it. Having said that, it must be a parody account. Tell me it is.

Can Linux run programs that rely on frameworks like .NET or other Windows-specific libraries?

So this one I thought I'd answer because I've done development in both NET framework and NET core and how it works is different for each (although things will usually work one way or another).

For .NET framework applications, if the program is compiled for windows (the .exe) you can usually run it with mono (you generally don't need wine, but there's some caveats that mean sometimes you should use wine). This will include programs with GUIs. If the NET framework app calls other windows programs it is best to run it via wine, you will need to install the net framework within wine, but there's a winetricks command for that. There are a few things that are generally niche things that do not work in linux net framework's mono though. By niche the one I can think of, is serial port events. Very annoyingly they all exist, so the program will run but the events will never trigger an action in the programs. Very annoying, but luckily very rare/niche stuff.

For .NET core, you can build directly to linux targets, and if the project you are working on does target NET core, then you can run the binary natively (note: you usually cannot build applications using forms to linux native binaries, for these you should run the windows exe with wine). You can also run the .exe files for this with wine and I've rarely had a problem with it.

Note that if you develop .NET applications, you won't be able to build anything that uses the standard forms GUI under linux. There are other UI frameworks out there you can use that are multi platform. For this reason, for the projects that do use windows forms, I have a VM with windows on that I boot up for this reason.

In short, if you're just running windows binaries, you will be generally fine with mono for framework and wine for core. For development "it's complicated".
