Web browser is a different language than English (French). When I try to enter a country whose name isn't the same in English and French, I get a pop-up saying "Pays inconnu" (unknown country).

Re:Some Excel users pop F1 off their keyboards (2012) on Friday September 22, 2017 @08:39AM (#15311586)
Because popping the key is by far the simplest solution, especially if you won't miss it in any of your usual workflows.

AFAIK remapping it will need Autohotkey or similar, and banks & funds aren't the environment the more welcoming to arbitrary binaries, even if free software.

Honestly that doesn't look "completely typesafe": what are those "source"s? Don't they refer to another element? What happens if you make a typo there?

> Docker is transitioning all of its open source collaborations to the Moby project going forward.

Should I understand that the core team wants to keep the brand "Docker" but use it in a commercial way, while Moby will be the underlying open source code?

Is it Docker/Moby = RHEL/Fedora ? or Docker/Moby = Mongodb.com/Mongodb.org?
