These days, Bosch is wholly owned by Siemens. And their appliances are basically the same. Except Bosch is now their experimental branch, where they try out ideas for products. Only those that are successful become Siemens products. So

Ah. I missed that; maybe Canada only recognises the US visa stay if one entered the US first. I did this research back in 2017, and I may misremember some details.

Frankly, I wouldn't dare to overstay my tourist visa in the US either 10 or 20 years ago. The articles notes "four month", a standard US tourist visa for an ESTA country (e.g. the UK) would grant 90 days upon arrival; any tr

Denmark is a member of the Universal Postal Union, which requires each member to deliver letters received from abroad. It's unclear who will now have that responsibility. When the new postal act went into effect last year, it opened

The bird flu is mostly contained to North America. Birds fly north/south, not east/west, so so far there has been no reports of it moving across either ocean. This is why Europeans and Asians are terrified of bird flu transmitti

OK, but I can set s to 1000, and it still compiles.

Is this for all locales of Google Maps? Or will google.com.mx/maps not include this change?

Fortunately, the picture of the car reveals its number plate, which means we can just look up.[1] The RDW data doesn't seem to include transmission type (at least from my glance), so I went to AutoWeek instead.[2] Here there is also

I assume part 2 will cover gear changes. Whilst not addressed directly, there are hints that it's a manual transmission (which would square very well for a 1993 Volvo bought in Europe), such as the clutch also being operated with hydr

I assume if you only observe the data in isolation. But compiling that data would provide an image of where the density of stations are higher. Again, we can assume that's probably around the bigger cities, but until we actual lay ou

When I posted, the title on HN was "Shortest distance between stations in Europe", so it had nothing to do with "X hours".

by Svip 2y ago
Title shared on HN left me somewhat disappointed. The actual time appears to be "Where can you go by train in 8h?", though that's somewhat less clear. It only seems to include central stations of larger cities, though I was

I recognise someone may not have been introduced to what I meant by what Discord has wrought; specifically Discord channels (including forum channels) are not indexable by search engines, meaning posts with important details cannot be uncov

Whenever IRC comes along, someone mentions its lack of chathistory/backlog as a missing feature. Having witnessed what Discord have wrought, I am now in the firm belief that backlog - at least for communities - is an anti-feature .

Seems a weird article to omit mentioning Linspire/Lindows, though they did early abandon the goal of running Windows applications out of the box, if I recall correctly. Additionally, ReactOS feels like it warrants a mention, even if n

Personally, I like to be explicit and in control. In the application layer, I may be far away (at least mentally speaking) from the constraints in the database, and if I update/delete something, I don't want it to "magically

The consumer didn't, but the error in the example is typed, it's called `MaxBytesError`.

by Svip 2y ago
In your example, the onus is on the consumer not the provider. I could still be writing code that checks if `err.String() == "no more tea available."`. I agree, I shouldn't do that, but nothing is preventing me from doing t

In Denmark, they are regularly used to warn at "unmanned" level crossings, i.e. where there are no warning bells, lights or barrier. And only if they are outside of towns. There are very few of these level crossings left in Denm

As a Firefox fanboy, who will never yield regardless of what Mozilla may do, I think it's more realistic to say Chrome beat Internet Explorer in the end. Edge isn't built on Gecko, but KHTML.

I notice that the earliest version of this post[0] is dated 1999, whilst the latest version is modified in 2001 (see the main link). Which year would be appropriate to mark it on HN? 1999? 2001? [0] https://web.archive.org&#x2
