  • I forget the name of it but there is a little known agreement that means digital services aren't taxed. Example, I can offshore workers who connect to a server in the EU and performs work.

    It covers things like Netflix streaming to EU customers without Netflix being taxed.

    If you think about it this is a little odd. After all, goods are taxed when imported, why not digital services?

    The EU is often criticised for having no digital leader. Switching that tax free hose off might resolve that.

  • I'm new to programming and still in training. Is there a replacement competitor site for stack overflow that people use?

  • [Serious question] Did Microsoft need to fundamentally change something, and that is why they back tracked on their Win10 evergreen promise? Or is this just a cash grab?

  • Thanks for that. I'll move this up the list.

  • I've been flip flopping between JavaScript vs python and landed on JavaScript as it has some libraries I'd like to experiment with.

    I've written a few lines of python code but just basic training stuff. Hopefully there are some transferable skills from learning JavaScript.

    Thank you for the reply.

  • I'll do just that. Thanks for the reply!

  • Ahh yes, I should maybe have posted this somewhere else now I think about it.

    For me, I find the barriers to entry are quite high but if you can get a good training vid that covers the building blocks then it's easy to learn more.

    School would be a good place for that initial learning.

  • Maybe not the strangest but here are 2 from my vacation to London last month:

    2 women walking past. One of them says:

    "I talk a lot of shit, but my fart is bigger than my shit."

    Then in Covent Garden I met a very polite drug dealer:

    Excuse me, do you need any weed or coke? No, well then have a very good evening.

    Nice guy, big smile.

  • The discussion of nuclear power, much like the discussion of communism, is met with entrenched positions on Lemmy.

  • Break them up!

  • Ahh yes the: we can't have self signed certificates for security reasons but also can't open up the environment to the web, and we dont have our own CA server, trifecta.

    Solution: awkward, manual, certificate import process from a 3rd party vendor.

  • Why are tetrapacks so good?

    I assumed they were terrible as laminated paper can't be recycled?

    As I write this I start to think this might be one of those things I learned in high school that might be total BS.

  • I was thinking about this. Can we crowd source add hash markers, in a similar way to how Sponsor Block opperates but with hashes instead of time stamps?

  • It does feel a bit 1930s at the moment doesn't it

  • Yes, no one seems to raise this anymore. AI to me has always been something akin to computer sentience.

    Things like 'self healing' systems are being badeged as AI when they're little more than an application load balancer.

  • What was the behind the scenes deal on this? I remember it happening but not the details

  • Same. I thought I'd go down a road at night for cover. Then a Death Claw appears out of nowhere behind me.

  • Don't tell the foreigners Britain is nice.
