When the host routing table is like this:

$route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
default         192.168.102.1   0.0.0.0         UG    600    0        0 wlp19s0f4u1u1
default         RT-AC86U-6D60   0.0.0.0         UG    20100  0        0 enp15s0

the VM has internet connection. If the defaults are the other way around it doesn't.

This sounds reasonable. Curiously now that I tried again with both host lan & wlan active there was no problem. I have a hunch the routing depends on which interface networkmanger starts first.

$route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
default         192.168.102.1   0.0.0.0         UG    600    0        0 wlp19s0f4u1u1

Here's the final peer reviewed version https://peerj.com/articles/cs-111/.

They didn't use very comprehensive research methods. Also they only used Github.

First, from the GHTorrent data set, we extract the email addresses of GitHub users. Second, for each email address, we use the search engine in the Google+ social network to search for users with that email address. Third, we parse the returned users’ ‘About’ page to scrape their gender.

a bias against men exists, that is, a form of reverse discrimination.

How is it reverse discrimination. It's still plain old discrimination. I'm starting to smell a biased research here. Or at least the researchers have a bias.

This research isn't peer reviewed so I wouldn't take it at face value just yet.

There's a dialog within the program to enter your key though I haven't checked if it connects to the internet at that point. I use an account so I can easily use it on several computers.

It doesn't auto update and you don't need to login. You can enter your key directly.

They also offer their software for free for open source projects.

Learn Groovy

Stay away from Groovy. It's a horrible language. It's quick to write but slow and difficult to read. It's conventions make it a very error prone.

Link to the things you mention e.g. you say to get familiar with Loom. When searching for that all I get is some screen recording software (probably not what you meant).

Scala pays better than Java or Kotlin

According to what research?

Currently EEA consists of the EU states + some other European countries.

It's good to live in the EU where such terms don't apply.

Removing a pattern doesn't unfortunately remove the packages it installs. Only the pattern "package" is removed.
