in germany by law every lease for private homes is always in perpetuity. the concept of renewal does not even exist. it is always month to month until the tenant decides to move out. you can't not renew a lease. you can raise the rent,

if you were a poor kid growing up, you still knew that i have been there, and i disagree. it's of course about attitude. and yes, sure we didn't get expensive clothes, but that wasn't an issue not in the school i went to. t

you are willing to make that tradeoff, but not everyone is. and as the goal is to get more people to have children, we need to make it more attractive. you want parents to be able to live in the same desirable places as childless couples. a

we are talking about germany here. no child in germany needs to grow up in poverty even if both parents are unemployed and are living on social welfare.

not much. the reality is that women still take a hit on their potential careers and income, and are expected to do most of the childcare work. another problem that i see not only in germany is that men are not trusted with children or being

that's the nice thing about renting in germany. there this would not work, the owner can sell the house but they can't kick out the tenant. so whoever is buying is taking over the tenant. and while you can ask a tenant to move out

I didn't see them say anything about dignity actually, i did, and i stand by it. working with a system that makes you angry is undignified. it's a reference to a quote that i can't find the source for which roughly goes lik

i live in a developing country. from my perspective, anyone who has access to a computer is privileged. Imagine the daycare worker taking care of your kids or the truck driver bringing your food saying "getting frustrated creates stre

my hand starts cramping up and I start getting angry pretty quickly when I use it it's been a while (fortunately) but yes, same. for me it's this feeling of helplessness. like this behavior is not a bug but an intentional design

humans are way more predictable than AI. not predictable in the mathematical sense, but in the trust sense, that when i ask a human to do something, they will do it in the way i taught them. and if they don't, i can correct them and th

behaving like a human is not the problem. behaving unpredictably is. not doing what i expect, or rather not being able to define what i can expect is what's bothering me. but the real kicker is: getting frustrated creates stress, that&

i tried it. i could not find any functionality to detect silence. also no way to label selections. or do i use regions for that? it says mp3 does not support regions. no way to export a list of regions with timestamps. i spent about 15 minu

ok, it seems we are talking about different things. "reproducible builds" generally refers to verification. so i misunderstood what you meant. so we actually have to go back to this question: > traditional way of doing smallta

that the first change in a sequence of changes is tagged with a bookmark is probably as much information as you need? i was actually wondering about that. it might. i'll have to see it in action...

ideally this should be done automatically when you create the bookmark, maybe with a commandline option: jj bookmark create -a/--auto-advance ...

that doesn't make sense because when i am working on a feature, i create a branch, name the branch after the feature and then each commit has a description of what is in that commit. the feature has multiple commits, and while i carefu

i managed to load a 12 hour book. it took some time to load, but once loaded the UI remained snappy, so i guess it is usable. the only problem is that the waveform does not scale when i zoom in.

people use gimp too. and i bet there are more gimp users than audacity. as for the UI, i don't get it. what's so bad about it? and how is this one better? i looked at both and ardour too. so far audacity is the only one that has a

on a server a GUI is optional. on a desktop/laptop a GUI is mandatory. supporting a GUI is more work. so if you are server focused, then why bother? making that effort only makes sense when you actually do want to also support desktops

i am afraid i don't have a good answer for now. it used to be gandi, and they may still support it, but since they sold out they massively raised the prices so they can no longer be recommended.

awesome, thank you. i remember vga vs framebuffer, and the time when linux made the switch. i was there, many thousand days ago. i might even have recognized that had those files mentioned vga somewhere in the path or contents. spleen look

one of my goals is to work on the server platform that i am using for my websites. i want to write a blog, but i am using that desire to push myself to work on the platform, so i need to complete that blog interface first.

the key goal here seems to be to remove temptation. for me just switching to a virtual console and firing up vim there would be enough because switching back to the gui would involve typing a long password which i believe for me would be de

what matters here though is, if it is slower than bash. and that's very unlikely.
