Google Workspace accounts do indeed have less facilities in some areas. For example, a Google Workspace account can't manage a Family Link setup, or be used with Fitbit.

I have seen the rationale that Workspace is intended as a workplace solution, the accounts would be managed/controlled by the Workspace administrators, and allowing this features could allow Workspace administrators access to potentially sensitive data. (For example, see https://support.google.com/a/thread/221999832/can-t-join-fam...) And indeed, I wouldn't necessarily want an employer or its IT department to have these by using an employer-provided Workspace account for them.

But this also means someone who is using Workspace for an individual or a family to get other Workspace features (custom domain email, storage, etc.) is blocked from using the same account for those features - so ends up needing a consumer-level Gmail account as well.

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.)

At Apple, the ubiquitous EPMs are Engineering Program Managers. But yep, I think we're just quibbling over terms that aren't standardized across (or even within) companies, but describe roles that are more or less the same.

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.

On the ZX Spectrum, numeric values were saved as both text, and in a five-byte floating point format. So making lines shorter often involved using keywords to avoid that: NOT PI, SGN PI, VAL "2" etc.
