Anybody know what is the status for repairs in Europe/Germany? My jacket is falling apart and I really want to either have it repaired or if I get a new one, I want a company that offers repairs.

The article is so enthusiastic, but it makes me sad. Work is where people spend the majority of their time. This environment is bound to be stressful and unhealthy. As for closed doors: just leave them open, problem solved. Or, these days,

I am no expert on Sun, but I think consulting was a huge part of their business? I know they were also well known for their servers.

Seems to work well for SAP. I also have a suspicion that for example Java is so complicated because it was created by a consulting company - complex tech means high paid consultants.

I'm just saying what is the status quo, at least in my country. But I assume it is the same in the US. If you have a car, you need to register a license plate. If you live somewhere, you have to announce your residency to the administr

If you own a car or live somewhere, you actually have to register with the police. In that light it doesn't seem so far fetched to me to demand the same for temporary rentals.

No I mean using the sort framework of Go. It takes several steps to set up a comparator function. compared to list.sort(function(a,b){return comparisonResult}) that was very demotivating to me.

by facepalm 11y ago
So basically Scala and Haskell? I've tried Go but was turned off by the complexity of writing a sort function - an artifact of static typing. Seems to me you'll always end up with something like generics which becomes complicated

What I would like to know more about is how to power these gadgets. Say I want a sensor that sends data to a server. Do I need to plug it into a power outlet? Can I run it off a battery for a significant amount of time (months)? Can I use s

"Now they gave Google permission to include them for free. What about the smaller services? Who cares about those - loads of news aggregators shut down in response." Sounds as if it worked out beautifully for Springer - the compet

Except the article claims dolphin deaths fell sharply when the label was introduced, so it does seem to have an effect.

Sorry the article is full of nonsense. Rents are rising quickly in Berlin, and the government is not paving way for enough new housing to compensate for the demand. Limits on rents are also a reason why fewer housing is being built. As for

About the alleged pressure on women to have kids: think about it another way, if somebody doesn't like you, why would they want you to have children? I think it's really nothing more than people who have experienced happiness with

Is it really such an issue in the US? I find that hard to believe. I can imagine it is not a popular subject, just like other subjects of hygiene. But that is not the same as being stigmatized.

You mean if you have the file you need less information to retrieve Bob than if you don't have the file? That's certainly a valid way of looking at it.
536.
by facepalm 11y ago
That adds another twist :-) I just thought it would be amusing to think about different metrics and human perception. In the metric of keystrokes needed the encrypted file is closer to Bob, whereas in the metric of time needed the empty fil

by facepalm 11y ago
What do you mean?
538.
by facepalm 11y ago
So what is closer to Bob: that encrypted file or an empty file? On the one hand, the encrypted file is only a couple of keystrokes away from creating Bob. But there is no known process to find the right keystrokes. The empty file needs a lo

I've never used Tinder nor Bumble, nor do I hope to do so in the future because it would imply that I had a divorce. I just know that nothing prevents women from picking up a keyboard and coding any app they like. That's why I cal
