I'd expect the same. However, reality does not agree. Apparently, the law/rules/whatever state that a death must be reported within 14 days (I have no source for this). I do not know about deaths in general, but for Covid-19

It looks exactly like the Dialog (manufactured by Ericsson, or probably L. M. Ericsson at the time) that were ubiquitous in Sweden in the 70s and 80s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ericsson_Dialog .

Oh, come on, all we need to do is to keep the entire world in "summer holiday" mode for a few years! :-)

I live in the outer suburbs of Stockholm and (normally) commute into town by train every day. Every year around midsummer (20 June), the trains start getting noticeably less crowded, as people start going on their summer holidays. Then it t

I, too, have a 28S that rarely sees the light of day. Instead it is my older, and much less advanced, HP-10C that gets occasional exercise. The 28 and 48 series sat in a kind of awkward spot between pocket calculators and "real" c

Most people in Europe do not use English as their everyday language, and those who do have neither Alces alces nor Cervus canandensis at hand to look at. Which is probably why they got it wrong and applied the word "elk" to the wr

I remember there was much talk in the local press around 25 years ago about how Kallax/LLA was to be the next big freight hub. It went as far as extending the runway to accommodate bigger planes (making it the longest runway in Sweden,

I have always been a (Net)PBM(Plus) guy, mostly because pbmplus was the first such software I used, and because I found it easier to keep track of what gets done in which order when it's an explicit pipeline. However, I haven't re

Does fontconfig support this? I know that you can set boolean flags for some fonts (like old-style vs. lining numbers) using the fontfeature property, but what about the "casl" axis, for example?

For me, dark mode is what you used on old 50 Hz CRT:s, where a light background would flicker so horribly that it drove you crazy in five minutes. If you had the luxury of professional kit, you used black-on-white.

When building a house, there is a considerable difference in effort between making detailed construction drawing and building the house, so it makes sense to make a detailed construction drawing. In software, there is effectively no differe

These articles always give a sense that it's business as usual in Sweden. It isn't. I have been working from home for three weeks now, but I have had to go into central Stockholm a couple of times, and it is almost eerily empty. R

That will give you 20 0 14 on the stack (top to the right). After 20 ENTER 8 ENTER you have 20 8 8 on the stack (and the stack lifter disabled). - gets you 20 0; 7 ENTER gets you 20 0 7 7 (and the stack lifter disabled again); + gets you 20

Wildly off topic, for which I apologize, but whenever I see “Dask”, I think of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DASK . You’re not going to manage any large datasets on that! :-)

This does not apply automatically, but it is true that such restrictions are possible, and that there has been criticism that they are applied in too many cases and for too long times.

Trivia: The Swedish Air Force bought a couple of Futuro houses, placing them on top of concrete towers to serve as observation posts on bombing ranges. Here's a document (in Swedish) with several photos, including one of a Futuro being

When I was a conscript in the Swedish army in the early 90:s, this involved some work around masts and telecomms towers (I was in a signals unit) and, under peacetime labour protection rules, that meant wearing an approved hard hat. The arm

Interestingly, the Stockholm metro system puts compass roses on the platforms (probably intended to provide some feeling of connection to the outside world), but not at the exits where they would actually be useful.

As far as I can tell, this was aired by Swedish TV as "Snillen spekulerar" (they have been doing a programme like this every year since approximately the dawn of TV time), and by the BBC as "Nobel Minds". So, it has to f

I, too, scratched my head over that for a while, and eventually realized that I had probably misunderstood what the authors are trying to say. I think what they mean is that if the compiler has analyzed the code, not shown in the example,

I have only studied the subject of drawing very superficially, but it is easy to find people who say "the trick is drawing what you see, not what you know is there". Then there are other people who seem to agree with you, and brea
