I’ve studied CS in Italy and most if not all exams were both written and oral some also had labs. I thought it was the same for other degrees too.
Re:Apple Introduces MacBook Neo on Thursday March 05, 2026 @11:36AM (#47263792)
RIP any hope for an Apple alternative to Samsung Dex. An iPhone 16 pro running the same specs will never be able to run macOS. We already knew it but this made official
Re:Apple Introduces iPhone 17e on Tuesday March 03, 2026 @07:06AM (#47231219)
Why would anyone buy this over a good as new refurb 16 pro with 100% battery and likely few months of Apple care left? Here they can be found for $650 or less

So basically we are back at tagging stuff as good for first contributors like we have been doing since the dawn of GitHub
Re:Vouch on Sunday February 08, 2026 @02:04PM (#46937380)
How does a potential positive contributor pierce through? If they are not contributing to something already and are not in the network with other contributors? They might be a SME on the subject and legit have something to bring to the table but only operated on private source.

I get that AI is creating a ton of toil to maintainers but this is not the solution.

Re:Heathrow scraps 100ml liquid container limit on Tuesday January 27, 2026 @05:24AM (#46778016)
Yeah and 50% more than Rome, but overall less than all airports already doing it in Europe. This news made front page out of two things:

1) English people do not know anything about continental Europe

2) Americans do not know anything about Europe

Re:Heathrow scraps 100ml liquid container limit on Tuesday January 27, 2026 @05:02AM (#46777811)
Gatwick already had it too, at least a part of it.

The fact Heathrow got 30/40% more traffic than other airports in the same continent already having it doesn’t make the news worth all this noise.

Re:Heathrow scraps 100ml liquid container limit on Tuesday January 27, 2026 @04:41AM (#46777672)
How is this news? A lot of airports in Europe had had this for years and even in England there were terminals within the major hubs where this was already the norm
Re:Doing gigabit Ethernet over my British phone wires on Saturday January 24, 2026 @08:32PM (#46749716)
Reading the blog post and comments here from fellow UK inhabitants I am shocked to see how phone lines are considered common when I always ever lived in places with only one of them for the entire place (3+ bedroom houses on two floors).
Re:GitHub should charge everyone $1 more per month on Wednesday January 14, 2026 @05:45PM (#46624974)
GitHub already charges organisations to fund open source features. Otherwise it wouldn't lack so many enterprise level features, it wouldn't have half baked solution that do not take into consideration enterprise requirements. GH Actions for example is still not there yet after years
Always fingerpick test if the monitor throws a number you don’t feel.

Any diabetic person must have heard and read this recommendation a thousand times.

The actual scenario to worry about is if the number is too high and a close loop system make so the pump injects too much insulin.

If you think about societies still in English colonial hangover and ChatGPT you might find that they have similar reasons to speak the way they speak.

Both aim at using an English that is safe, controlled and policed for fear of negative evaluation.

Re:Knocker, a knock based access control system for your homelab on Wednesday October 22, 2025 @06:23AM (#45667049)
IP based exclusion should not be considered a security measure, not even for a low risk environment like a home lab
Re:Oxford loses top 3 university ranking for the first time on Tuesday September 23, 2025 @02:35AM (#45343519)
I don’t hate UK, otherwise I wouldn’t be so critical about it, I wouldn’t care if I hated it.

It’s okay if you wanna keep the head in the sand. I get it. It’s better if you don’t know any better. People who are themselves ignorant cannot see other people gaps.

Btw look up the reasons Coca Cola rebranded the Coke Zero to Coke Zero Sugar, and why it all stemmed from UK.

Re:Oxford loses top 3 university ranking for the first time on Monday September 22, 2025 @03:00PM (#45337918)
I am just in the 1% top UK earners working 25 hours a week from the comfort of my sofa with my average European education, broken English and working class background.

I feel shame for how easy was for me to get a great life in this country when most locals struggle with social mobility.

I get that full fat coke is an idiomatic phrase but it stems from honest ignorance towards macronutrients. I am a diabetic type 1, I had to explain that carbohydrates and alcohol can affect your blood like sugar to endless British people lol

Please, if you are monolingual and monoculture, just have some healthy skepticism about well eradicated habits in this society. That’s what I want to inspire in my friends

I lived here for over 20 years. Speak other two languages natively because my parents were from two different European countries. This is an informed opinion not hearsay!

Re:Oxford loses top 3 university ranking for the first time on Monday September 22, 2025 @12:53PM (#45336169)
Then explain why people from southern Europe who can stomach English weather can come to London with a 2:1 degree or lower bachelor degree, speaking a language that its not theirs and compete on the job market with people with a 1st degree from a brick lane university?

Also those people don’t say full fat coke referring to a regular coke because they did biology instead of just math and physics from 15 years old and don’t have £80k of student loan to repay.

UK is suffering from the education it offers its people.

This is apparent in the law system having to be super simple to be understood to a point that it is not fair. For example, the £100k treshold for child benefits that is per person instead of per family income because people would struggle to follow it.

There are many examples to this. I wish all British people would speak another language properly and spend some time in continental Europe instead of comparing themselves to USA on matters of education and welfare.

Re:Oxford loses top 3 university ranking for the first time on Monday September 22, 2025 @11:32AM (#45334864)
Ask anyone from French, Spain, Italy, Greece, etc. living in London and in tech if they believe their British peers are their equals intellectually.

There is a reason why these people dominate the top 1% jobs in tech in London.

I am flattered you read my bio but I don’t actually live in Germany lol

Re:Oxford loses top 3 university ranking for the first time on Monday September 22, 2025 @11:30AM (#45334831)
I am saying that these rankings are onanistic if you factor in that post industrial education has already fucked up British education. I don’t mention which country in Europe because it could be many, most of them actually have classical studies with schools up to 18-19 where you study all the subjects.
Re:Oxford loses top 3 university ranking for the first time on Sunday September 21, 2025 @01:02PM (#45324547)
It doesn’t matter.

UK education is flawed already by the time a student reach tertiary.

A levels, by focusing pnly on few subjects, leave such a gap in people that I would go as far as adding it to the reasons for the country issues.

People in the UK, even if they study at Oxford, are likely more ignorant than many Europeans having done classical studies in high school.

Not really a solution at enterprise level and it exposes to the risk of likely not patching them as often
