Which C++ redistributable do I need to run this program? It’s not the newest one or the year before that. It’s not the one provided by the installer. It’s 2013 (in this case only)!
Luckily, glibc is mostly backwards compatible. You can still hit issues if you have a binary blob that’s been compiled against a newer version of glibc than what comes with your distro, or if it’s compiled against an extremely old version of glibc, but that’s not too common.
Why does every distro need yet another package manager
A lot of them have been around for a very long time - dpkg (then apt) since 1994, RPM (then yum then dnf) since 1997 - and there’s no one package manager that’s clearly better than the others.
APT is so nice and easy… I hope DNF is the same.
dnf is just as easy, and in my experience, Fedora’s repos are pretty comprehensive and have a lot of things that Debian’s and Ubuntu’s don’t.
Fedora has packages that Debian does not? I have not used Fedora in a long time but is this true? Debian is reported to have twice as many packages as Fedora.
The amount of work he is putting into this is really impressive. Being from the US it kind of sucks to see his play out in every country but ours. Is 'merica just a lost cause or is there something else we can do here?
I mean sure, but it theoretically stops people arguing and threatening to try and bring stuff they shouldn’t really be bringing through, as being able to point at that will end a lot of arguments… Equally though, it makes a lot of sense as otherwise you’d have “ah yes this bomb isn’t banned because I’ve switched out a molecule in the explosive for an analogue”
I don't think they need to make the enforcement of rules ultimately arbitrary to prevent explosives. You already can't bring explosives. The molecules involved are not relevant.
Frozen liquid items are allowed through the checkpoint as long as they are frozen solid when presented for screening. If frozen liquid items are partially melted, slushy, or have any liquid at the bottom of the container, they must meet 3-1-1 liquids requirements
It is probably intended for ice packs for things like insulin, but worded vaguely to allow ice in a ziplock bag or a frozen water bottle in place of an ice pack. Most of these rules would benefit massively from stating the purpose of the rule too.
It’s because of a particular incident. Similar to what happened with the shoe bomber and why you have to take off your shoes. Things like this are why we can’t have nice things. en.wikipedia.org/…/2006_transatlantic_aircraft_pl…
