I enjoy Sara Cox's evening drivetime show. I sometimes wish I didn't, but when you're doing yet another 4-hour slog up the M1/M6 in evening rush hour traffic it's perfect company.

And Zoe Ball can be OK in the mornings, although I'll often tune into something with a bit less chatter unless I'm feeling particularly enthusiastic. Other than those two shows, R2 doesn't really do it for me. And yes, Jeremy Vine is utterly off-putting.

Linux doesn't really know about drives, it knows about partitions and mount points.

Obviously this is a simplification, but in general it's close enough. It also could well be your problem - timeshift doesn't know or care that /boot is on the same physical drive as the rest of your system: if it's a different partition, it's separate.

It's a little more than 100€

It's half as much again! If your budget is that flexible you really should have mentioned it in the original post so that people could give you a wider range of options.

Translate it up by a couple of orders of magnitude and you get "I want to buy a car, I have €10,000 to spend" ... "I found one for €15,000, it's a little bit more but ..."

Why not? What's different about chicken meat compared to, say, beef or lamb, which most people like to cook so it remains at least a little bit pink (i.e. raw inside).

In the UK we had three songs in the top ten in 1985 all called "The Power of Love", all different.

  • This one by Jennifer Rush
  • Huey Lewis & The News song from Back to the Future
  • Frankie Goes To Hollywood's power ballad, now a UK Christmas classic

All of them completely awesome in their own ways.

You can easily report if you're using kbin website, don't know how it works if you're using an app. You just hover over the "more" link and a dropdown appears with "Report" as the first option.

Which would be what, exactly?

Literally the next line on the image tells you what:

"This includes: disability, pregnancy/maternity for the purposes of the mobility assistance use case."

It's a great story. It's also completely Fake News. DIdn't happen at all.

Legally a citizen (assuming born in the US) because lack of paperwork doesn't change the law - but with no way of actually proving it.

Without a published POC there's a slightly longer window before clueless script kiddies start having a go at exploiting the vulnerability, though.

It's a very flexible language so can find a niche almost anywhere. I know of fintech companies that use it extensively for their back end data processing systems, and I've seen some really interesting stuff done with Clojure and Apache Kafka. They're a good fit for each other - Clojure, as a lisp, is optimised for processing infinite lists of things and Kafka topics can be easily conceptualised as an infinite stream of data.

Also, when combined with Clojurescript, it provides a single language that can be used full-stack, so could drop in anywhere that you might otherwise use Node.

But I think one of the best things about it is the way it forces you to re-evaluate your approach to development. It's a completely functional language so you have to throw away any preconceptions about OO and finding new ways to resolve old problems is one of the things that should be a joy for most developers, even if it has no practical application.

Give Clojure a go.

It's a modern variant of lisp that runs on the JVM and has deep interoperability with Java, so you can leverage your existing knowledge of Java libraries.

But as it's a lisp, it will have you thinking about problems in a very different way.

 
 

As with many other subreddits, /r/LegalAdviceUK (which had been dark since the start of the blackout) has been sent a thinly-veiled threat by Reddit.

So they've reopened in order to start moving the entire community of 810,000 subscribers to somewhere else.

As you can imagine there are a number of legal professionals who moderate that sub, and they really don't take kindly to being threatened. They sign off their reopening message with "Fuck /u/Spez and long live John Oliver." but for the real fun you might want to look up a very famous British legal case they reference, Arkell v Pressdram 1971.
