What about those of us who draw the stem first, and then the loop ?
This is the best summary of why more people should disconnect.
It is not a fearful response to technology - none of this is about technology - it's about large corporations making money from things that they never had the right to take.
The correct answer is not to support hardware that does this, in the future.
The search indexes aren't realtime, though being improved.
Note: mvnrepository.com is not related at all to Maven Central
However, I would never host anything important. Why ?
If I'm in an accident and hospitalised, or something similar, there is no way my family will be able to manage/maintain/troubleshoot the systems.
There's a reason they all use gmail/gdocs, and it's not because they love Google.
I am a lifelong fan and user of technology, but the 'lay person' typically isn't and really doesn't want to be. Managed services may remove any semblance of privacy, but they offer the one thing that most everyone wants - convenience.
Nobody should be coerced into on-call within a role that did not explicitly require it on joining.
Just as long as they're signed. Unsigned apps built on one machine will fail to start (pass audit) on another.
This is why the conundrum exists and as such I would need to replace all switches with toggles, or distinct on/off buttons, so the family could easily manage.
However, they also need to work as non-smart/traditional lights if the network has failed, and I suspect this is a much harder problem to solve.
By all means have a code test but explain that it is just one part of an overall process and is not in itself a deciding factor. The conversation around it is far more valuable.
As another waiting-list referral, I would consider going the same route but have no idea where best to look (and whether they may have shared care agreements or not).
It's really helpful to see all of these replies from the UK.
(Semi-serious question even though /s because topic)
Maybe it's just the UK, but I struggle to find any suitable physical switches that both look like a normal light switch but also function with smart devices.
I understand the benefits of some automation, but if there isn't a 'normal' switch that works completely 'as expected' for the family to use, it's not worth the trouble.
Anyone expecting even a basic level of anything without being willing to contribute at all is not demonstrating good behaviour within society.
The result list for me (that goes as far as 7.5 miles away) shows 'unknown' for every garage, which therefore renders the list useless. No doubt it would improve as more users offered up information, but unless there is a way to automate the data the majority of more rural areas (perhaps even anywhere that is not a large city centre) will never find any use for this.
Support for big customers can often mean dealing with outsourced/contracted employees on the other end who would rather ask for you to 'fix' things than make an effort themselves.
Also, ask yourself one question - Did you build this SaaS to empower yourself, or to be at the beck and call of someone else ?
One would hope that such checks should be minimal and therefore performed by suitably qualified (and equally audited) personnel. As you allude, it is more likely that such work is outsourced in the same way that the manufacturing of the phone is.
In practice ?
(Edit: This is for the iCloud scanning. The (i)Message warning around sexting is a whole other issue)
There is no way most governments will be able to provide suitable infrastructure in the near future.
However, up until recently very lax on air travellers and even now actually checking some.
Why do they have to be profitable ? Many programmers like solving challenges to learn and have fun - it's not all about money. Advent of Code is a great example of this.
Really happy about the way this is progressing.
