Beim Bau neuer Wohngebäude in der EU soll die Errichtung von Photovoltaikanlagen verpflichtend sein.
"Verpflichtend" im sinne von "Das Haus wird abgerissen, wenn man das nicht macht", oder im sinne von "Man bekommt weniger Fördergeld wenn man das nicht macht (wodurch der Bau vielleicht unwirtschaftlich wird)"
I thought the temporal improvement would be for everyone who already used the high way (because they will get to their destination a little bit faster). And for the few extra people, who start to use the highway but didn't use it before, the improvment will stay.
Our societies have not previously tolerated spaces that are beyond the reach of
law enforcement, where criminals can communicate safely and child abuse can
flourish.
I am pretty sure, churches were "tolerated spaces" bevor e2ee was a thing.
the linux-file-deletion is used as a example for good software design. It has a very simple interface with little room for error while doing exactly what the caller intended.
In John Ousterhout's "software design philosophy" a chapter is called "define errors out of existence". In windows "delete" is defined as "the file is gone from the HDD". So it must wait for all processes to release that file. In Linux "unlink" is defined as "the file can't be accessed anymore". So the file is gone from the filesystem immediately and existing file-handles from other processes will life on.
The trade-off here is: "more errors for the caller of delete" vs "more errors due to filehandles to dead files". And as it turns out, the former creates issues for both developers and for users, while the later creates virtually no errors in practice.
it would be "simple", if start->settings wouldn't point me in an completely wrong direction. As it is, you need to know the secret phrase "device manager" (or "control panel" or "management console") to find the hidden settings-dialogs that will actually solve the problem.
