I (in the UK) used to have a small local restaurant which had a .eu domain. When Brexit was happening, I mentioned this issue to them, and they explained the relevant individual was an EU citizen so they were OK in the short term but they were migrating anyway. (And I see they are now on a .co.uk domain.)

BT in the UK has 17070 which tells you the number and lets you do tests like the "quiet line test". Handy when working out what was going on when I moved into a property with no live phone service (so no normal outgoing calls), lots of phone extension sockets, and (I discovered) two landlines coming in...

And when the book is ruined, she credits her books account (an asset account) $20 and debits her "depreciation/impairment" account (an expense account) $20.

And then your text editor might leave a backup copy with filename "xyz.php~" which PHP won't interpret and Apache will happily serve to a curious user as plain text.

So I've heard :-)

There is another perspective to be aware of on this... I have been caught out by a service provider when it became clear the service I was using wasn't their main business - and their interest in properly maintaining and operating that service dropped - profoundly.

I believe that is (or at least was) true at Google - although from what I knew of the role, it sounded like it also covered what I would consider project management. (I think I would often consider program mangement to be coordinating/managing across multiple projects as part of a broader program of work, but I don't think that was what Google meant by that title.)

Indeed, "Do you use source control?" was one of Joel Spolsky's 12 questions - in fact, the first of those questions - to judge the quality of a software team in this 2000 article: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/08/09/the-joel-test-12-s...

I think I read about a tool for the Acorn BBC micros which you could apply to your program to remove unnecessary spaces etc. in the tokenised form and shave off a few bytes.

This had the side-effect that you could still display and (presumably with a bit more mental effort, read) the program listing fine, but re-entering a line as shown in that listing would fail because the computer depended on the spaces to do the parsing, even if they were redundant after the tokenisation happened.

I used to play a lot of Catan and loved the game but then stopped for a few years over COVID (while I played other games online). When I tried it again, that's when I noticed this "drought" problem more obviously. (But that's just a niggle in an otherwise great game!)

I use Amazon SES to send system-generated messages from a couple of tiny websites I ran on EC2. When applying I needed to specify the volume, and put in a generous number in case the sites got a busy day - maybe 100-200/day (when realistic traffic probably averages single digits/day).

I promptly got approval for 50,000 mails/day!

I wondered if, being a Sunday evening on the British train system, she'd find herself on a rail replacement bus service for some of the return journey. But luckily not - just some diversions because of engineering work adding 60 minutes to the usual journey times...

And in London, the Underground closes down altogether overnight, except for some lines running on Friday and Saturday nights. (And that Night Tube service is a relatively recent innovation, starting in 2016.)

The amended regulations (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2022/984/schedule/made) refer to a requirement for connection to a "gigabit-capable public electronic communications network". And a "public electronic communications network" is defined in the Communications Act 2003 as "an electronic communications network provided wholly or mainly for the purpose of making electronic communications services available to members of the public".

So I expect that either type of service meeting the requirement on speed would be acceptable.
