I'm an avid FT reader and like that description, but have never seen it before. Any chance you can provide a reference?

blink = indicate

Particularly in London, houses are overvalued to the extent that rents are comparatively cheap vs. the rest of the country. Rental yields in London are significantly lower than they are in e.g. Manchester.

The problem is what the question implies, which is that in this workplace the interviewer has until now found it impossible to to convince his manager. This doesn't look good for the interviewer or his manager.

Note that he does not say that he was unable to answer the question. That is a conclusion you jumped to.

They never had control or they never lost it?

Your experience will depend very much on which Terminal you're at (there is a big difference in age and layouts of individual terminals) and, in particular, whether you're forced to switch terminals when transiting.

A good airport for transiting into Europe, and in my view usually more pleasant than London, Frankfurt or Paris, is Amsterdam Schiphol.

Essentially you are being given a copy of a VM that has a copy of Windows pre-installed. It's unlikely (but possible) that Microsoft has granted a license for this. I imagine this is technically not legal, but as you say, unlikely to matter much.

In some jurisdictions penknives are explicitly allowed, due to their blade typically being just under 60mm long.

If you're interested in using a js bookmarklet to bypass, search for "froomens".

I think that's a very interesting question, to which the answer probably depends on how you define 'thrive'.

It seems unlikely to me that any language could become mainstream without being open source. The expectation that a compiler or interpreter should have its source available is only growing.

At the same time, kx's kdb+ is an example of a product that sits in a niche and has generated significant revenue despite being closed source. kdb+ has achieved this by primarily targeting financial services, which is a sector that's less sensitive to closed source than most, and is able to spend money on whichever product solves their problem.

If kerf manages to gain an edge over its competitors for a particular set of problems then sure, it can thrive in the long run the way kdb+ has.

The passwords are generated on the client.

This. I find it surprising that the offender wasn't terminated and incomprehensible that the victim was required to continue reporting to him.

My girlfriend started watching Reign on Netflix when we were visiting the US. She is able to watch it when she visits me in the UK. At her home in Germany it is unavailable.

Absolutely!

Also, the inclusion of non-ASCII operators harkens back to APL. Mind mind isn't yet made up on whether I like this. I anticipate code being easier to read and harder to type. Given perl5's reputation in this regard, I'm optimistic I'll find it to be an improvement.
