I think anything after (whichever grade your country introduces fractions in) should exclusively use fractions or multiplication with fractions to express division in order to disambiguate. A division symbol should never be used after fractions are introduced.

This way, it doesn't really matter which juxtaposition you prefer, because it will never be ambiguous.

Anything before (whichever grade introduces fractions) should simply overuse brackets.

Money makes getting regulatory bodies to approve stuff scarily easy

Not to sound insensitive, wouldn't keeping a checklist in a text file/note/etc, then copying it when you want to check it off completely fulfill your requirements?

Depends what the EU investigation ends up at. They're known to take decent chunks at least.

Only within the same century, which is an issue for those of us born last millennium (or managing systems from that time), and could be a real problem in 50-ish years when we could get the first duplicates.

Better to stick with YYYY-MM-DD for alphabetical sorting

If you want sandboxing, isn't firejail pretty exactly what you're looking for?

I think it's born from a misinderstanding of infection statistics, especially back when windows was also more popular on servers.

It is pretty exclusively a file scanner, but that, combined with Linux's privilege separation, any decent firewall and not willfully executing untrusted files is enough for most cases, I would say.

why does linux not have an AV?

I can recommend running ClamAV, if anyone is looking for a good one that runs on Linux.

Because... They are? Whenever there is a problem in Windows itself, they release an update to fix that ASAP.

Defender doesn't just work against viruses that exploit weaknesses in Windows. It also works against viruses in programs the user installs. The purpose of Defender is the same as any other antivirus software, to detect known virus signatures in downloaded software, as well as attempt to detect programs that display virus-like behaviour. It also attempts to ensure that users only install software from sources they trust. For these purposes, Windows Defender is at least as good as most other antivirus software on the market.

I would also generally recommend using an antivirus program on a Linux/OSX machine, unless you really know the risk you're accepting by not using one. Even then, I recommend occasionally running ClamAV or a Malwarebytes scan. There is a misconception of "there are no viruses for non-Windows platforms", but the thing is that a lot of viruses these days are cross-platform compatible, and all it takes is one program or dependency becoming an infection vector. Keep yourselves safe, people!

Gotta stop confusing CCP supporters for leftists
