yes, maybe I'd taken that deal. that's even better than the stupid seller once nagging me for 2 months (!) that I should take their shitty 20€-bluetooth-adapter (noisy af) for free, because they are such a nice company... Ehm yes

for basic, small stuff, which I actually need fast, at this point, I've switched to local stores, because as Amazon prices at this point (Europe) already include a heavy postage margin, the store is generally 2/3 of the price (up

from a very continental european, the following points are making San Francisco very unattractive - earthquakes and still the same wooden housing which faciliated the burning of the whole city the last time. - forest fires.

Ok, if I'm making a category error, then, why do we have this transgender debate over the transsexuality-debate (which imo is different, because people there are actively using medicine to change facts about their body, which is not ne

so you are a non-transsexual transgender? or did you transition to a suitable body? because yes, gendered stuff is all around us, but in most "though" cases, it mostly seems to relate to sex, because that's something which i

nVidia already owns Mellanox which today seems very monopolistic for any HPC-interconnect. Them buying ARM means, they could just stop supporting everything else someday.

but why bother with gender at all in this case?

by fock 6y ago
So I got that after someone here talked about being nearly trans, because he had no stereotypical feelings? Shouldn't that be normal that your mood changes and you like different things on different days and in different stages of your

by fock 6y ago
so could you produce some numbers about transitions? because frankly this discussion (just as the more street-oriented fraction of BLM...) seems driven by a very vocal but ultimately minuscule number of people. And if now in some avantgarde

well, that might be the case with the US, but here in Germany state-schools are not really down that path yet, with most including a stats intro (quality varies), a math intro and accounting for everyone. The only place, where I've see

well, if you look closer, the people telling this bs are actually all coming from a more than well-off-background. Like the person playing in a local band, telling me "I moved out" - me: "nice, but how can you afford that&quo

I guess, N26 can easily setup a works council in the aforementioned countries and just give them the same standing, the german one gets. Very easy, but apparently not what they want.

wait, first it was a "prestigious certificate", now it's mandatory. ok. And yes, maybe handling certain people on both sides of the aisle as what they are (e.g. war criminals) is indeed what foreign people should do. In theor

so if people want to work outside of china, better not get that certificate if you don't want to be held accountable for supporting an authoritorian government. Easy. As for the spying: it's relatively common knowledge that the ch

yes. if there was someone like Stallman (for all its flaws he seemed to not have waste money on random capitalistic ventures) coming up and forking it, when it finally goes under, I'm happy to pitch in my 5$/month. If it's a

Thanks, super interesting. So it's really high throughput for simple stuff (and probably people don't mind that it's too slow).

yes, if you want to optimize a worst-case MPI-cluster, then a Pi (4) might be optimal for you (because sadly, 4 measly ARM cores with 100MBit/s is a some magnitudes removed from 100 cores and 100GBit/s Infiniband). But then you ca

What are these old Fortran libraries doing, which requires "new numerical stacks"? From my naive point of view, all what you are describing should be trivially done on a workstation. As I'm sure that's probably me undere

yet the book doesn't feed or cloth anyone. This is generally done by the sun (and stored energy from it in the form of many fossil fuels). Also, for a finite population, all the other books can not be consumed anymore. So yes, it is a
