I'm a keen cyclist and I prefer to ride on the road rather than on bike lanes. It tends to be a faster way to get around, especially since roads don't have the same habit of ending abruptly that bike lanes do, and it is rarer that

Grand Prix racing is not dead. Don't hyperbolise.

Formula E has also made the conscious decision not to pursue open chassis and aero regulations - good for keeping the costs down, but it makes it harder to take it seriously as a potential future 'pinnacle' series.

This is unrelated to the OP because Honda exclusively supply engines and do not have a works Grand Prix team. When the sport was awash with tobacco money about 15 years ago, the big teams all had an entire testing team, completely divorced

It makes me sad to see these reminders of how fast websites are perfectly capable of being.

Sounds like the sort of guy to create a GUI Interface in Visual Basic to track an IP Address.

Every server config ever requires an IP address entry which in itself is a non trivial proportion of all the user edited config files in the world.

That's interesting to hear. I must admit I am at least a little bit attracted to the challenge of learning a language that's known for being difficult, though of course the vast majority of what attracts me towards Denmark (over o

I think it corresponds to the number of non-native speakers. English speakers are used to hearing people from every corner of the globe speak our language, so we are pretty unfazed by an accent. Danes - like, I think, most speakers of langu

Thanks for the encouragement. I think my soft d is pretty good but I'm definitely a beginner with regards to the vowels and the stød. It's all part of the challenge, though :-)

The exercises I am doing are using spaced repetition tools for vocabulary and listening, using textbooks for fine-tuning grammar and pronunciation, and as a writing exercise that's more fun than translating fourteen-thousand different

Sadly not - I am studying from England and have not spent too much time in Denmark yet. I look forward to these delights :-)

I'm currently studying Danish and can't help but be amused when every 'lyt og gentag' exercise ends with 'slut'. But just as in the OP, it's not even the same vowel as the English word, so the resemblance

I'm also a huge fan of Heaney's Beowulf. While Headley chooses to vernacularise the language in the extreme, Heaney took a more sensitive approach, preserving kennings and searching for Ulster dialect cognates to Old English words

I didn't mention introversion and I didn't imply all introverts are antisocial basement dwelling nerds. I'm just describing a particular class of /g/ users and the attitudes they hold.

I don't deny that such people exist. There's always outliers. But those who are gifted and capable are not usually as inclined towards hate as those who are not.

That's fantastic. It reminds me of the GNU Hurd mutually recursive acronyms :-) > It's time [to] explain the meaning of "Hurd". "Hurd" stands for "Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons". And, then, "

/pol/ and /g/ have very different board cultures. Actually, /pol/ and literally any other board have very different board cultures.

To be honest, knowing what I know about 4chan, I would guess that's a white weeb. Of course, it could be a 16 year old girl from Osaka, but to a first order approximation literally everyone on /g/ is a white guy.

by DC-3 6y ago
No, not really? I'm pretty sure 4chan is overwhelmingly young white guys. I think that's common knowledge.

It's insecurity. I browse /g/ sometimes and while there's some very talented and interesting engineers there, there's also a lot of people who are trying to get into programming because it's the path of least r

Rust's developers are mostly very left-wing and are, in my view, over-eager to imprint their views on societal power imbalance on their technical project, the Rust language. They hint not too subtly that before them systems programming

This is actually a great idea. I've noticed a trend recently in a subreddit I frequent that obviously wrong statements are suddenly getting upvoted. I'm not talking about things that conflict with my opinions - I'm talking ab

That feels plausible. I think the effect of shock on the camera sensor also plays a part.

The first frame of that 1st video when the explosion hits is morbidly fascinating. The image looks almost as if it is pieced together from torn paper. https://i.imgur.com/1GkJgxt.png

It helps to balance out the stress on different faculties. If you write code for 14 hours a day you're gonna burnout but if you balance a variety of activities it is possible to be very productive while not feeling exhausted.
