Given that the UK has banned this, but as per your numbers 6 percent of the country is Muslim, so it seems that there are other more major factors in this decision than the Islamic religion?

I'm not sure if you were insinuating that this was the cause of this current ban? Or have just posted something tangentially related with no data or logical chain of reasoning to support it?

Just wanting to point out that visual impairment is a scale.

Very few people can't actually see anything, and so you are choosing your level of visual impairment as 'not blind' but someone else's at 'blind'. Someone else may put that line in a different place.

Fitting something not binary to a binary scale is hard.

One thing that we can all agree on is that they have some issue with their sight, e.g. some visual impairment.

It sounds good, then you try and get a TER (regional train) and find there is one or two a day, using old rolling stock, overcrowded for an exorbitant price.

So if you want to take a TGV to/from Paris, it is nice. Anything else, less so (try looking at fast train route from Lyon to Bordeaux - through Paris)

Unless I misunderstand, AWS SnapStart and their memory snapshots are the same feature (taking memory snapshots to speed up cold start). It doesn't seem a fair comparison to ignore this and my assumption is because AWS Lambda SnapStart is faster.

I'm not sure I understand your point. Just because the country is large doesn't necessarily mean that you need larger fire trucks?

(Or that America needs a one size fits all approach to fire trucks - things that work well in cities may not work well in rural areas)

The main reasons for micro services (that I didn't see covered) is that it reduces cross team overhead. 10 people working on a service is fine, 100 people working on a service requires processes which slow development down (as no one can keep what is changing in their head)

The interesting thing is that it that night trains can be quicker if you consider the waking. e.g. Zurich to Berlin - the train leaves at 8pm and gets in at 7am. So it is 2-3 waking hours spent.

(Does of course depend on how well you sleep on trains)

4 out of the 5 people I know with Garmin watches need the battery life while tracking to exceed 8 hours (this watch lasts 1 hour).

I doubt any of them are going to see this and swap their Garmin for an Apple watch.

I think the Apple watch and Garmin are aimed at very different markets and with current technology Apple can't provide what Garmin does without compromising their design.

Yes. Scotland is a country that is part of the United Kingdom (which is also a country).

The goal is to help with the cost of living issues (in part caused by high gas costs) and I think reducing CO2 is secondary.

Additionally I suspect trains (at least electric ones) have far less C02 emissions than cars. I'm not sure how electrified Spains rail is.

For context, the example from the Serde wiki written in Java using Jackson

  public record Point(int x, int y) {}

  // [...]

  var objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
  var jsonString = objectMapper.writeValueAsString(new Point(2,1));

It isn't obvious to me what advantage Serde offers that you couldn't get with Jackson or other similar libraries in Java (although I get that Java and Rust are different languages, and that there may not be something this ergonomic in the likes of C++)

Maybe they are a bad interviewer?

In my view, if the answer involves a topological sort the interviewer should know how to solve it and be able to follow and find errors in the candidates code. If the interviewer, knowing the answer, cannot find any issues then surely the code is fine (for code written in an interview)
