That's just not true. It is, some might say, ridiculously hard to do because these days there are so many i's to dot and t's to cross, but it's not impossible. A friend hosts his domains' email at home.

If you think they are just a CDN then you need to do some reading.

Applicant Tracking System.

The privacy issues?

The fact that they defend hate speech? Terrorism?

That when they have an outage so does a good proportion of the www?

I suppose executing recruitment agencies is out of the question?

Ban ATS' (seriously, how could centralising all of everyone's personal information ever go wrong?!)

Have competent people working in Personnel departments (and thank you, I am not a Human "Resource", that's just your slave master mentality shining through)

And, yeah, executing recruitment agents. Sorry, but it has to be done, for the future of humanity. (Or maybe it doesn't? Are they actually able to interbreed with human beings?)

In other words they're testing what the Zurich city public transport system has been doing for years (as well as trams taking power from overhead cables, some bus routes do too)?

1 TB is enough for anybody.

Oh goody. My nightmare of someone turning up on my doorstep and saying "Hi Dad" just got one step closer.

In summary: 'I like X. I do not like Y. Therefore X is the greatest and Y is rubbish.'

Okay then.

HIPAA

Not American.

That was published in 2014. I do wonder what you're up to in dredging up old news like that.

Allwinner open source? Yeah, we've seen that before https://linux-sunxi.org/GPL_Violations

P = Penis, NP = No Penis?

I just can't tell from the title. A summary would be nice so that people have information to go on to help them decide whether they're interested in downloading and reading the PDF.

Even supposedly educated people don't get it. My doctor wanted me to send him some health information by email a month ago. It's a good job my blood pressure is under control or I might have exploded.

I don't own one. I'd like to but I can't think of a practical use for one (for me). The only possible use I came up with was printing a case for my Raspberry Pi and I decided that it was cheaper to buy a commercially available case for £10 than paying a few hundred for a 3d printer.

You don't have to look hard at all - petrol was hard to get hold of and is approaching record high prices, random foodstuffs aren't available, you can't see a doctor for love nor money, Brexit (obviously), Covid (obviously), idiotic decisions taken by Tory govt. that seems to have no clue how to govern and no concern for the state of the country of its citizens (most obviously of all). But never mind, Princess Di was lovely wasn't she.

Sounds like a lot of shit to me.

"If you've got a blacklist I want to be on it." (Billy Bragg)

I was thinking that if the police or someone like that got involved then it would be better to have the entire unaltered thing available, so that rather than delete it from the db it should just not appear in the front end.

Might you not want to be able to preserve the offending post so that the poster can be brought to justice?

Serve porn.

Punch him in the face.

I don't imagine there's any one thing that "causes" it. High standard of living helps (so more disposable income to spend on things like computers); a technological society, in the sense that people aren't afraid of technology or of being seen as an "engineer"-type of person; a somewhat left, privacy aware population and generally more altruistic attitude than in other countries I've lived in; finally, for my list, I think there's somewhat of a Streisand effect in that there are a large number of foss developers in Germany because they see that there are a large number of foss developers in Germany.

Joe Louis will be turning in his grave at the headline!

"Beijing launched a brutal crackdown that swept up to a million or more Uyghurs and other mostly Muslim minorities into detention camps and prisons"

"evidence of the terror of the last four years is everywhere."

Sure, everything seems.to be just hunky dory.

The answer to your question ("Why is it like this?") is because they have somehow convinced employers that they can provide something their own (useless) HR droids can't. It may or may not be true that they can, but they're so firmly entrenched between employers and potential employees in some industries that it's very difficult to find work without them. I think if I saw a recruitment agency building was burning down I'd barricade the doors so that fewer of them got out alive.

People downvoted that? Butt hurt ignorants (I suggest they use more lube next time).

SSH in from another computer? Or just don't use Firefox...

"Programmer" implies that all you do is write code. You may do. I do not.

I suspect the answer is in the chapter... What's the chapter about?

The people who voted for Brexit prefer chip shops to chip factories.

Why on Earth would someone mix their systems like that (metric and imperial)? I suppose they might work for NASA and want to lose another robotic space probe (Mars Climate Orbiter).

Mismatching SSL versions between your browser and the server, maybe? Did it go away (for example if you cleared your browser cache, or use a different browser)?

I'm quite startled that anybody uses the term "programmer" (rather than "software developer" or similar) any more. Maybe that's the root of the author's problem.

I can't only choose one, but some (in no particular order) are:

• Ayuamarca, by Darren O'Shaughnessy
• Liege-Killer, by Christopher Hinz
• Altered Carbon, by Richard K. Morgan and many others

Older:

• Dune, by Frank Herbert
• LotR, by Tolkien
• The Stainless Steel Rat, by Harry Harrison and many others

I tried that on my phone and wasn't taken with it (navigation etc. was difficult on the small screen).

Since the NWOBHM "officially", but I've liked metal, hard rock, and similar since the early 70s.

It isn't, and I can't install it. The process seems to go okay using .pem file but there's no sign of it afterwards in the list and Lemmr still doesn't work.

I don't know. I can log in and use the web interface on the same device, so it's specific to lemmur.

I see from your linked article that "older Android devices that don’t trust ISRG Root X1 will continue to work with Let’s Encrypt, thanks to a special cross-sign from DST Root CA X3 that extends past that root’s expiration." So although I have an "older Android device" that I won't allow to update due to the manufacturer's "privacy" policy, it appears it should work, and indeed does in the browsers I've tested. As I say, it's just Lemmur that's not playing.
