I totally agree. For five stars it would have to be exceptionally good. Something I'm very satisfied I might give four stars, which ironically drags the score down.

I recently purchased an alarm clock. When I put the clock in my bedroom, the light from the display was so bright it kept me awake. I went back to the item on Amazon and read all the reviews. One person mentioned the same issue yet still gave it four stars!

Not just that, but there's a good pool of tech talent due to relaxed immigration laws and being an attractive destination and an English speaking country (for the most part).

I can't control what other users of the repo are doing, so it's not that simple.

The problem is, is that git will happily destroy history. git blame is not useful because it doesn't tell you who authored the line of code.

Having an official central server is precisely what you want in most development environments. Being able to go back to any prior version of the code is tremendously useful and something git can't do.

On your fourth point, a downturn is widely anticipated and aircraft manufacturers would be particularly affected.

Where are food prices going up? I can't say I've noticed it where I live.

You need both. To be the top one percent of what you do, you need natural ability and dedication.

I own zero cars and rent when required. I save a fortune.

If someone consistently leaves five-star reviews, then they should be removed. Even if genuine, as in not paid for, they are still noise as this person is indiscriminate in their praise.

I was driving from Berlin to Skopje once, and at one point really needed a rest, having not found a hotel in Austria. In Croatia, I did find a place that I could rent a room for 4 hours so I could have a shower and a nap before continuing my journey.

That's interesting. I did work for a company, that had itself registered as a certificate authority on the computer's browser, and for most sites, e.g. Wikipedia, it would use its own certificates and presumably monitor what you were looking at, but for internet banking, it didn't intefere.

Even better, d0lph1n

Git is particularly poor in scenarios such as two people working on the same branch. SVN handles this with ease, but with Git it takes a lot of coordination amongst both contributors to keep things working.

Just off the top of my head, test cases would be a valid reason to have non-ASCII in your codebase.

Virtually all use cases in my experience.

I ordered some lightbulbs with the wrong fitting by mistake. Amazon refunded me and told me to keep them, even though it was entirely my fault.

Or alternatively, we get all our work done in our sleep, and conscious time is devoted to leisure.

Not really comparable. A charging point is more like a parking spot, where you park the car and charge it, you might not come back to it for days.

NHS spending is £2892 per person/year, that's quite a bit lower.

I take issue with this:

"but one thing I knew for sure was I wasn’t going to be enjoying good beer,” said Siberry, explaining that in spite of its beer-heavy reputation, most pubs in the Emerald Isle often only carry three beers on tap".

The three beers mentioned are indeed ubiquitous, however many others are available. I'm off to a Dublin pub tonight, which has around 12 beers on tap and countless more bottles.
