A very Belgian solution! Would be interesting if one half would contain material of higher quality than the other. Maybe odd-lettered people created the more important works?

I think we learned from Kyiv that we should tape some care not to let third parties write some place's history for them. French imperialism used to be quite similar, after all.

It helps to think of FLOSS as an ecosystem, not individual components. Also those large companies use many parts of the ecosystem and chances are some of your code, just not necessarily the component you are using (most). Even only using th

> However lazy loading images that are not on screen is generally a good thing. No. An article should always be loaded in full. I clicked a link to a document, that means i wish to view it. Not half, not the first page, the whole thing.

Running is pretty bad for joints. If you want to get your heart rate up, get on a bike.

I had a Kia rental a while back, exact same car UI and prompt as Hyundai.

Usually I'm wary of online reading, but this has a very usuable interface on mobile. Epub downloads: check! Looks pretty good!

> Every single time you start the car it shows a consent screen for data aquisition. My parents new Hyundai does this too. You cant say no, and you cant store your reply. Incredible. I'll never ever purchase such a vehicle.

Hmm, although I haven't seen one in a while, these were not that uncommon in the Netherlands, say, 20 years ago?

I managed to bend a Duplo track as a schild, the puzzle piece connecting them specifically. A quick but incomplete algo is to ensure an even number of curves and straights. With them even, a bent track needs to be very bent so as to be imme

Does that mean most Eurostat staff isn't permanent?

1500-2000 EUR per kid is usual in Amsterdam as well. There's a wage dependent subsidy though. Kita's aren't free, though much cheaper.

Anyone from Eurostat present here? I tried tot look for jobs a few times, but many (all?) their positions require you to be 'delegated' from somewhere else. What's up with that and how does it work?

A PTSD trigger for me. Only half joking. Funny thing is, I never checked out Cling to see if it was at long last the real deal.

So, I realise now that Ext4 has been receiving so many upgrades that it might well be Ext5 or more. If you don't need COW and the snapshotting it enables, is there a compelling reason to to stick with Ext4++?

I don't know; for me the inconvenience of having to install an app and setup payment for one time or infrequent use is big enough to avoid it.

VanMoof seemed to be a riff on Juicero: expensive custom parts specifically designed to keep you a lifelong overpaying customer.

We don't need to assign blame you know. Many things aren't anyone's fault. I don't think most parents want their kids to be noisy of whiny either, it's just how kids often are! Plus, they've just been inserted

People didn't pay for content 20-25 years ago either. What changed is that people want to make money with the web, not just share.

The vast majority of Western academic positions don't let you save up for a sabbatical. Only people with tenure at an Ivy League I would think.

I exclusively hear this from US folks. Would love to see a breakdown of where DeBeers makes its money. Frankly I can't imagine anyone I know caring about this.

Which brands? Cant get at the supplementary materials. I bought a set of those IKEA bamboo straws, said to be 100% natural, and indeed I don't see why pfas would be needed on those; solid bamboo.

What's Orwellian is people enabling systematic attackers on democracy by reducing the critism to a caricature, creating the most thinnest of veils of freedom of speech.

Is any adblocker perfect? The default setting in Brave is not the highest setting you can set it to. As to your question: it depends on why they are jumping. If it is because a giant truck is going to run over us, I might join them, yes.

Arriving at a place with a Delphi codebase developped over the course of 30 years (some files had 80ies copyrights), the tendency tot have enormously long ones was apparent. 10k lines would be short, and 100k nothing unusual. Really hard to
