Absolutely. But it might be a simple habit thing. When going to the UK I find it easy to orient myself to look in both directions when I cross traffic as I usually do that. Even driving a car as I am highly aware that it is different but I

That does depend on the firewall you use. Using the "pf" firewall you can have nice clean rules which covers both. Simple example: tcp_inbound = "{ ssh, domain, http, https }" tcp_outbound = "{ domain, htt

As others mention there is PKG (and ports). The important thing is however that even though there might be less info it is much more consistent! It is even so old fashioned that you can work without Internet how-to's - it is all there

It can be really hard to source vacuum tubes and proper parts in general. Here in Denmark we have a GIER 40/42 bit computer from 1961 which is kept in running order by volunteers. This is the first generation without tubes. I made a fe

Wrong. Swedes go to Denmark for alcohol[1]. But yes - Germany is cheaper. [1] https://www.ft.com/content/6040e408-ed33-11e6-ba01-119a44939...

As far as I know chargebacks are not misused in the same way around here. But yes - it is available for "remote orders" with the debit card. But only for phone, mail and Internet orders. Not from a physical shop using pin code. My

Due to regulations I think it is difficult to find any fintech which a small bootstrapped startup in the traditional sense. Some bank tie-in is needed. And by that I might be overloading the startup moniker. My point was that they're s

The exact same is happening in Denmark. The huge players are under fire from new fintech startups. It has been amazing to see how fast such apps gain penetration in the market.

Around here debit cards are protected in the same way as credit cards. You are fully covered if you in no way have been negligent. If the PIN code have been used you have a own risk of $173. Have you been negligent the own risk goes up to $

Acceptance not required by law and no mandated monopoly. The card was introduced in 1983 and the law which helped the card stated that they could not charge any transaction fees to the consumer. It became popular with the consumers because

I do see your point! I am however scared that HTML will go the way of Gopher. Why would anyone care to maintain boring hypertext documents when we can have app of the day. Marketing departments everywhere tend to turn the web into Blinkenli

I have found the Makeblock mBots both at a reasonable price and a lot of fun. Not quite as versatile as Lego but in the same ballpark. https://www.makeblock.com/steam-kits/mbot

Few do as the name sounds so innocuous. But the name likely originated from the russian biritch. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contract_bridge Maybe too contrived. But I did not think the blatant xenophobia in the OP

CRUD is easy to understand and close to the core of tasks that programmers at large need to do. Thinking in terms of REST requires that you concern yourself about the full infrastructure. Many programmers i have met simply do not care. Supe

The wordplay using Caesar is not as catchy though. On that note we maybe should change the name of the game of Bridge. If so I would like to change the meaning of playing a trump card at the same time. Politics are important. Please let us

To put it maybe too bluntly: but I do not see the difference between "randomly reasonable commoner" and a "paternalistic approach". And more importantly I think you put in too much trust in the good will of people. To me

Scratch is really great - do not get me wrong! But I find it too advanced. They do support various external hardware. And I can highly recommend the Make lock mbot. Truly awesome. But Scratch is one step up the ladder to me. It is a commitm

I do not get why Logo went out of fashion. To me it is the king among learners. The physicality of the Logo turtle robot we had at our school back in the eighties was what made it "click" for me. Playing with something connected t

Made sense until the last paragraph and everything turned upside down. "Fully inform" is that not simply what we in real life call "the small print"? Taking advantage of people is never ok in my book. If you think you&#x

I felt precisely the same for a long time. Then I started following Unix SO and realized that people are being taught the bad habits. I tried answering a few awk questions being verbose and explaining the steps. But I noticed that most are

The weird rule about opinionated answers! I get why your question is on hold. But I find it unfair. Some of the best questions and answers have been highly opinionated. And I have often been led to on hold questions by google. An opinionate

I do get your point. But would not prefer to have less of those? The information overload then becomes huge. And I would like some more filtrering. My approach today is to try to give quality answers when I can anyway. Even if the quality o

For me it has distilled into something much simpler: Enlightenment or Fix It. Those who seek enlightenment want to ask good questions and learn. They want to be educated and be a part of the community. You need to give some to get some. And

In Denmark I get the AMP results. The link posted above will show a prominent "techcrunch.com" at the top - but the URL is still Google. I am not redirected to their own site.
