It doesn’t have to be separate branches - you can generate different versions of the software from the same code branch, e.g. using compiler/build time switches for those bits of the code that differ between the different target platforms. Then you would have a build pipeline per platform; even here the build pipeline can share a lot of common code, and just be parameterized for the specific platform.

That’s Cillian Murphy’s next major role sorted then.

They probably recently extracted some viable DNA from the crime scene evidence that had been kept all these years, but they are unlikely to have any DNA taken from the long deceased perpetrator - assuming he was buried, it is unlikely any viable DNA survived 40 years. But if he he still has living relatives, you can take DNA from them and compare it to the crime scene samples, and look for sufficient matches to conclude he was likely to have committed these crimes.

I imagine a lot of the passengers were pissed off when the flight was cancelled because one of their fellow passengers reported some non-critical bolts were missing.

Giving it a fancy name does not hide the fact it would be much better to replace the HDD with an SSD the same size. Typical Apple - marketing over substance.

Ok, I understand what you are trying to do, but I that is not how I read it at the time. Prefix to me in this context means e.g., “kilo” in “kilobyte”, and not the “k” in “kB”. I am not sure it is helpful to split the unit symbol up like that.

Thanks for this article. Unfortunately, you used the word “prefix” when you really meant “unit symbol”. So, “kilo” and “mega” are prefixes, kB and MB are unit symbols. You repeatedly called the latter “prefixes”.

There is nothing scientific about homeopathy.

He sounds like a very troubled kid: “ The court heard that Kurtaj had been violent while in custody with dozens of reports of injury or property damage.”. He is deemed a danger to himself or others so is being placed is a secure hospital for safety, hopefully he will get treatment there. He will be released if the doctors deem he is no longer a danger.

The official UK Police term is Road Traffic Collision, or RTC, which does not imply fault or otherwise.

Do you live in USA? If I did, I would be worried about the government too.

Yes, as water is pretty safe.

Legislators and regulators are targeting producers and not consumers.

Would you rather trust companies driven entirely by profit over the government?

I wonder how many other people at the mosque secretly think the same as you? If you have children, do you think they will be less constrained than you? In which case, there is some hope that the next generation will escape the strictures of organised religion.

See how splayed out those toes are? That is how our feet have evolved to support walking upright in bare feet. A lot of modern shoes are too narrow, and cram toes together. If some of your toes are bent inwards, then you have shoes to thank for that.

I started using Chrome instead of IE11, which was crap for standards, and before Edge was a thing. When Edge came along, I got really ticked off by the constant nagging to use it, which made me hate it without even trying it. I will probably carry on with Chrome for now, whist I can still turn off all the ad tracking stuff.

Maybe if she was 80, but at 16 she lost out on most of her expected life.

It goes against the usual, overly romanticised trope for Country House dramas, to be much more gritty and seedy. I like it. Lots of cameos too, a real ensemble piece.

I wonder if his family have disowned him? What an embarrassment to have as a relative.

When you go into a room for something and then can’t remember what it was. There is something about crossing a threshold that makes memories go poof.
