  • In the UK, where I believe VDSL and G.Fast both are achieved by putting the equipment in your local "green cabinet" which is the sub distribution between you and your local telephone exchange.

    My cabinet is about a 200m straight line from my house, so I was lucky enough that I always got pretty close to whatever speed the telco was selling me.

    My parents' place is about 500m or so from theirs and I think they typically got about 70-80% of the "up to" rate on VDSL before they switched to fibre. It used to be more like 50% on regular ADSL/2/2+

    I think you have to be kinda rural before you're much further than that from a green cabinet (which of course isn't an insignificant number of people, but I believe per capita it's not typical)

  • Satellite TV was much more popular compared to cable generally in European countries, so phone lines make up the bulk of wired networking in a lot of places, making DSL a pretty practical option without having to lay a whole network. I get the feeling in countries where cable is much more common, DSL is reserved for the last resort level of service, whereas in Europe many of the telecoms make sure to deploy the latest standards.

    I finally swapped to 1gbps fibre a year or two ago, but before that I was on about 250mbps with G.Fast DSL that honestly wasn't bad at all. I believe the theoretical limits go much higher than that too

  • It's a place that lets people charge subscriptions for blogs.

    It also is a nazi bar

  • FOR. A. SINGLE. CHANGE. Yes. For a single change. Like having an editor with 2 minute save lag, pushing commit using program running on cassette tapes

    Am I reading this bit correctly? Are they complaining about testing a CI change and it only taking a couple of minutes to verify?

    And this person's using a compiled language?

  • Hmm this seems to be an exclusive with them as I can't find a better source.

    Reminder the Daily Mail is not in the business of reporting the news but rather keeping right wingers angry.

  • Magnets mostly messed with tapes, floppies and hard disks. I believe you could also mess up a CRT's calibration with one.

    None of those technologies are particularly commonplace these days, especially not in those glasses.

    I mean an MRI level magnet could crush them, but you're gonna struggle to move that around

  • Oh, I guess I'm a stoneager with a penchant for functional elitism then.

    Though I will admit OOP is valid for involved data modelling, everything else should be functional though.

    I've also trained myself out of most short variable names for maintainability reasons

  • How can I easily move repos from Github to a European alternative?

    Jump

  • Kinda difficult to do it in a way that isn't easy tbh!

    Just locally rename your old origin to old-github or something, add your new origin (codeberg is a good shout) and then push. Maybe put a notice & link on your old repo's readme and then archive the repo on GitHub

    It would genuinely make the world a better place

  • The damage wasn't really reversed, rather overcome.

    If the world (not just the UK) didn't see the massive increase in bond yields over the years following the mini budget, we would still very much be in the hole. The Bank of England had to intervene to buy an unprecedented number of bonds at not great prices, if they weren't able to sell them for profit, we would still be directly facing the consequences.

    If the bank didn't have to intervene, we would be better off today because we'd have that growth without the hit. Most other developed countries got that, so in comparative terms we're still behind.
