I disagree, English is fast becoming (already is?) the global language. It makes sense to standardise on English instead of learning hundreds of different languages (which is no easy task).

Papers that don't include dates on them are very irritating.

Who said anything about superiority? I merely stated the main differences I have seen since living here. Japan isn't much different from the rest of the world, yet people here on HN seem to treat it as some kind of exotic alien world.

Except Toto toilets and the Shinkansen (which other countries like China now have) it’s not so different.

And the banking system is ass backwards compared to the rest of the world.

Is there a performance difference between Elixir and Erlang? I assume not since they both run on BEAM but I've never dabbled with Elixir.

Didn't Trump and the republicans just recently pull the US out of the Paris agreement?

Which is ironic because some of the reasons Brits want to leave is because of the French, e.g. why does the EU parliament have to spend 100million+ EUR to have the parliament in Strasbourg for 3 days of the month?

With Microsoft I was able to use my email for 2 weeks before they blocked it, they don't require the mobile number on sign up. It was a legitimate email, not spamming etc. so it was pretty bad of them.

LinkedIn is even worse, every week they ask me to add a profile photo even after I decline, and I pay for LinkedIn premium. Really scummy tactics.

I created an Outlook email address a month ago and Microsoft blocked it until I entered my mobile number. Sneaky bastards.

> A priority is to understand the language one is writing in.

That's all well and good but you can't expect a developer to know all the optimisations different compilers will do, especially when it relates to undefined behaviuor.

The difference is, most products aren't safety critical like aeroplanes.

Sweden is in the European Union.

Because in this case it's a European company being hacked (Ericsson).

Terrorism, they stopped making FS after 9/11.

Why is choosing a specific programming language, Rust, "beautiful engineering"?

Looks like 2019 will finally be the year of Linux on the desktop.

How does this work when tourists are taking photographs? For example at the Eiffel Tower where it's almost impossible to take a photo without people being in the shot.

The big question is, what is the US actually going to do about it? If anything...

If they lose their licences then they'll have to remove all of it.

I have the same problem and didn't use it because of their scummy marketing practices.

I uninstalled the app thinking I could just log in to the website to cancel it but no luck, you have to phone.

Is there a simple way to submit GDPR deletion requests like this? They're being deliberately obtuse with closing accounts. They deserve to lose their licences.

How does this compare with other formal methods like Z? Has anyone here used them successfully in the field?
