SEPA is only for Euros but there are countries that don't use Euros that still use IBAN (e.g. Switzerland and UK).

Makes sense. I lived there for a year and visit yearly and at the time I didn't notice such an aggressive campaign from Visa. IC cards indeed are much faster from my experience (in Hong-Kong and Singapore). I hope we can get rid of Vis

I couldn't have said it better. I don't understand what they solve. We need instant, free SEPA transfers around the clock. Switzerland is not part of SEPA but IBAN is used so it is trivial to send payments to foreign accounts that

Switzerland's rely completely on an (Android/iOS) application. No desktop version. If you change your phone you must ask for a new ID.

So my point stands; it's not a cultural symbol like alcohol is for Europeans.

Including for heroin or other hard drugs?

Up until now I only paid LLM subscriptions to Anthropic but I'm going to give ChatGPT a chance when my current subscription runs out next month.

Too bad it uses OpenGL so I can't open it. I usually love this website.

You may want to have a look at docker-volume-backup[1]. I personally use it. [1]: https://github.com/offen/docker-volume-backup/

And all this without OpenGL! Kudos. My new favorite insult towards web services that are badly done is: "even fully vibe-coded Codex would've done better".

It surely depends on what the OP is providing. If I was a consultant and the company stopped paying, I would obviously stop working for them on the next day. Otherwise, you could start charging weekly or daily instead of monthly. But then a

I'm not and have never been in your situation but consider this a summary of all anecdotes I've heard mixed with negotiation techniques. The thing I would personally do is make sure the client has paid their invoice before provi

I don't know how you could word it, but you could tell them to use an LLM to generate specs so that you can understand the needs and implement the features yourself (even if it's also LLM-assisted).

Why does the client have pushing rights to the repository? I would suggest working by pull request and approve all changes that they make. That's what you would do if you were working in a team. If you work in a bigger structure, surel

I'm sure it used to make sense when words when pronounced differently. Pronunciation changed but not the writing. Which means it doesn't make sense at our point in time.

The fact is that even native speakers may mispronounce words if it's the first time they say it. For example, words that they encountered in written form only. Or they write words incorrectly because it doesn't even closely match

I've learned Japanese and I understand your point completely. I can't say for Chinese but in Japanese there are some words (and even kanji) that you can read even if you see it for the first time–if you get better at reading kanji

Would you say I was antagonizing him with my response? Because he was an in-house recruiter (and not a headhunter) and I got along with him pretty well.
