I'm from Europe, out of school for two decades, and still dream about it. A lot of math exams, but anything, really.

I wonder if a 50 EUR entry price will really deter many visitors. Venice itself is a huge attraction, people travel there specifically at a significant cost in time and money. That 50 Euro sounds like a drop in the bucket to me, it will sim

Yes, and that software requires some esoteric proprietary OS that I've banned from all of my memory. :D

In Germany, a lot of the time, public transport is awesome. I love public transport here. You can always find something to complain about, and of course there will be exceptions, but compared to other places I've been to, public transp

Could it be that they aren't afraid _because_ they have superior weapons, and want to keep that edge? The world still appears to be a scary place when others may assume that you can't defend yourself.

When were you a child? In the late eightees, I happily played with Lego that had grey swords for knights in grey castles, and pirate themed stuff with brown guns, and cannons that were grey and brown. Lots of green base plates, too.

Doesn't mean what they're saying is wrong. Probably makes more sense to attack the substance of their argument, and not their bio.

I don't understand what point you want to make. Also, why require this poor child in your thought experiment, when there's apparently a real, living Google developer who thinks they are dealing with a person?

I'm using PyCharm in i3 daily, and it works great. There was a bug around input focus of certain Windows once, it had an immediate work around, and Jetbrains fixed the bug in a reasonable time frame for the probably pretty small percen

Why would you want a collection of keys to behave like the mapping they came from? Why not pass around the dict itself, when you need access to the values? This seems like it extends the responsibilities of "keys" beyond what they

What you wrote sounds extremely biased towards turning life into economical transactions on the labor market, while I think there's already too much of this mindset, and people need to be reminded that there is much more to life than e

I think that's a fallacious argument. On the face of it, that they're not using GPS doesn't necessarily mean that it's because of a lack of precision. There could be other factors than precision that influence their choi

I've seen more sloppy code being kept and built upon, than any code being thrown away. Once it is sloppy, it does not get easier to make code unsloppy as time goes by. Of course, "not sloppy" does not mean perfect; but it do

Doing tiny transactions to validate cards is a thing. I've seen this happen, it's a known problem, and that at other times it's larger transactions does not make it go away.

That's a video by a British YouTuber, who has entertaining videos with quite often interesting perspectives, but who I think is quite biased in favor of a rosy British perspective. I don't think he's a good example for attitu
