Bullshit.

I read every day, for at least an hour.

My Kindle stats say I have read every day now for 5 years without a day being missed. Much longer than that if you just count weeks.

There is no shortage of good books out there, there is just a lack of wanting to find something that interests you.

This requires involvement from parents as well, so it wont ever be “fixed”. Schools, even the best ones, are not magical places where everything can be instilled into a child, especially where the childs home life doesnt support the school.

You have to get the TLD recognised by the root DNS servers, or get everyone to add new root servers that recognise the alternative TLDs.

Same reason LetsEncrypt languished for years before they first got a trusted cert provider to let them issue blanket certs, and then they got their own root certs trusted by all the browsers. But that took years.

Not really, depends on the severity of the issue and whether it has been understood adequately enough.

A few of the unmanned Apollo test flights had significant issues for which fixes were only tested in the subsequent crewed flight, for example.

The Starliner capsule had so many issues across multiple missions that it requires a successful uncrewed mission - its the exception, not the rule.

Stop propagating the Republican myth that the USPS is a failed organization - it is not, and the only reason the Republicans push that bullshit is to further their control over it, and justify selling it off.

You are the type of person that the government should be protecting us from.

So Im happy that, where I live, the government is doing its job.

Im also glad I dont live in the US, where people like you seem to have more power.

Most other countries manage it, why not the US?

If those restaurants go under because they have to include the full cost of the meal, service and all, in the prices up front then FUCKING GOOD. Bring it on.

Socially accepted bullying should not be an accepted alternative.

F1 hasnt been a sport for years.

I dont know of another sport which changes fundamental rules mid-season just because one team is dominating. In F1, it has happened many many times.

It is a good example, because its someone who was never in the US being charged, tried and jailed in the US for an alleged crime against a British company.

Dual criminality means that the act that they are being extradited for is also an offence under UK law. It does NOT mean that they actually broke UK law. And in the case I am thinking of, they were never prosecuted in the UK. Thge UK-US extradition act is also severely lopsided, with a firm case having to be presented to extradite from the US, but only reasonable suspicion being required to extradite from the UK.

That is part of the English language, used extensively in England, and not pronounced the way its spelled.

Literally just picking a few place names from where I used to live in the UK, and you get:

Happisburgh - dates back a thousand years.

Wymondham - dates back approximately 1,500 years, and originates from an Anglo-Saxon name.

Costessey - originates from around 600AD, and again originates from an Anglo-Saxon name.

"Lieutenant" (and numerous other words) wants to have a word with you :)

Note that the US has, multiple times, extradited people from the UK in order to try them in the US, for actions done in the UK - simply because they breached US laws and somewhere in the chain there was a US connection.

The US loves fining foreign companies as well, including major banks like HSBC, for breaching US law.

The US has also confiscated transactions between two Europeans who carried out a transaction in two countries outside the US, simply because they breached the US embargo on Cuba and the transaction was done across the SWIFT network.

In other words, the US loves to do what it complains about here.

I think you vastly underestimate how many devs there are working for companies basically independently.

Ive been working as a developer for about 20 years now, and in IT for 30 - the first time I actually joined a “team” was less than a decade ago, before then I always worked as an individual developer for small companies (who usually had 2 or 3 devs, all working independently on stuff).

I would safely say that the number of devs who have no one checking their code, doing reviews, or engaging in standups is way higher than the number of devs doing those things.

What you describe is the ideal, something which has become pervasive in software dev circles as “the only way”, but it ignores that theres a huge body of devs out there that simply dont have that. Cant have a code review if the only other dev in your company works in a completely different language to you

There are loads of developers out there who currently rely on IDE features (that have been around for at least 15 years by this point) to write code that they dont understand, or simply copy and paste from other codebases or websites.

Committing code you dont explicitly know how works is well embedded in many software development circles these days.
