In Serbia we never say Velcro but thistle stripe (burdock stripe). Interestingly enough, we say gilette for razor and digitron for calculator.

Isn't this just moving the goalposts? Yeah, you could buy even cheaper and bigger home if you'd move to rural Afghanistan, what a surprise. Ceteris paribus, bigger size == bigger (total) price, there's no way around it.

Well this had to happen once. You can't increase home sizes indefinitely and expect them to stay affordable. I'm sure that a lot more families could afford 900 sqft homes/apartments.

Goodbye Frank Pembleton, we'll always remember how you saluted Crosetti :(

"A man for all markets" by Edward O. Thorp - a remarkable story of a brilliant mathematician from the Great Depression to beating Las Vegas casinos by card counting to practically becoming founding father of quants and beating Wall Street.

"The ultimate ETF guidebook" by David Stevenson & David Tuckwell - still reading but the book that goes deep into ETFs, way (and I mean way) above laconic "oh just invest in S&P500 and forget it" approach.

Some people thought of him as a rotten, old, toothless alcoholic. They weren't aware that he's actually a pure artist of a rare breed. We'll miss him dearly :(

If it's true that they'll lay off Oliver Drotbohm and Dan Vega then "seriously bad" could describe the impact.

If by any chance Notepad++ author reads this: Thank you so much!

No sane person should take the counter side of such bets.

In Germany it seems normal. In Serbia I don't remember anyone ever used it in my presence, emails etc.

Line 7%. I assumed this would be in the 90+% territory. Either I am crazy or the world is.

Way more for sure, it was akin to a Cambrian explosion. One large downside was compatibility though - at best you could hope for two machines to be CP/M compatible, otherwise if you needed an app you could've written it yourself or hoped that someone else would do it.

You never had a chance to experience another Yugoslavian computer Pecom 32 then :)

A friend and I had started a project similar to this some 6-7 years ago. We wanted to make all the generated data consistent so if, for example, you need data about German person it would return real city name, real (or at least plausible) street name, postal number, phone numbers both mobile and fixed with the proper country and operators code, email address using national domain, personal name was chosen out of plausible names for each country etc. etc. In the end it was so much work that we abandoned it :(

Oh man, this impossibility to cancel SEPA-Lastschrift based subscription should be criminally charged.

OTOOH sometimes it's irrational and transcedental so there's that.

I don't know if it's real but it's definitely complex.

Would've been awesome if results are displayed under the commands. For example, command

  echo '{"name": "hello"}\n{"name": "world"}' | fx '.name'

would output what? My guess is hello world but it might be hello\nworld.

Next step is, of course, to build an AI-powered exchange for Magic the Gathering cards. They could name it "Magic the Gathering Online eXchange" or something like that.

A lot of people, probably. But definitely not the entire community [0].

They mentioned engine and gearbox, so still you'd need at least gearbox oil change once in a while. Not to mention that they elegantly forgot clutch + flywheel which EVs don't have but are expensive as hell to change on ICEs (and you have to change them sooner or later).

30 EUR per year? You can't even buy 2-3 liters of engine oil for that money, let alone brake oil, new tires (you change them every 50000km, right?), tire pressure sensors etc.

Yup, they even risk losing customers in the process.

You mean 50% cheaper on-prem, right? 100% cheaper is 0.

Why would anyone use "downloaden" when there already is "herunterladen" is beyond me.
