I desperately wish there was a "Turn off for five minutes, I'm dealing with dumb corpsec auth stuff" option.

Perhaps the fact that we’re having this discussion on HN shows the kind of media I’m likely to consume, but I’ve never seen it used in the latter sense. TIL, I guess!

"Public company" is a very specific thing; the BVG is state owned, but very much not a public company.

I didn't read that post as saying "there is no racism in France/Britain/Netherlands thanks to their past"; I understood it as "the _kind_ of racism there is _different_ than the one in Germany, for historical r

Or you became a Berliner. (There's a small part of me that wishes I could've naturalized as a Berliner, not German — many (though obviously not all!) things I love about it are really about Berlin specifically, not Germany. Seeing

There's no way to say this without sounding like an old crank; but I think putting down your phone when on the U-Bahn and just reading the news and/or ads on the little in-train screens helps a surprising amount!

It's both true and untrue. It's true that finding appointments can be difficult if you just open the website once and see a calendar with no available slots for months; _but_; there are very frequent cancellations and some offices

You might get more helpful responses if you ask a more specific question.

I genuinely can’t tell - you’re aware that this is a standardized form factor, and they didn’t invent this just for this particular device, right?

The bath intercom always cracks me up. I’m sure it makes sense in bigger, maybe multi-level houses; but I can’t imagine myself ever using it in my 2LDK.

This is… literally the only surface that stoves in this form factor have?

“A whole earthquake” is a very funny way to phrase it when it comes to Japan. That building has withstood tens of smaller ones before that big one, they’re just _incredibly_ common here.

I can personally guarantee you that the average Japanese コンロ does not have a heat output that would require 15kW of power to match using IH. And that’s before we get into the safety features of modern ones that bring that limit even lower.

I’m genuinely asking here - is climate change thought to have influence on earthquakes? I wouldn’t have expected so, but maybe there are some non-obvious pathways for it to be the case?

It started as a Twitter account during the Tohoku 2011 earthquake, and then subsequently became a “real” service; the IP owners for the Eva agreed to let them use it going forward.

They could have been further away from the epicenter of the previous ones, or the previous ones weren't strong enough to cause that specific structure to collapse, the previous ones might have weakened the structure and this one brough

For a long time "live with earthquakes and build accordingly" meant "make it easy to rebuild", not "engineer the structures to withstand the earthquakes".

There's plenty of old buildings here that are not built up to the latest standards; increasing exponentially the further you get from the core of a big city. Japan is _very good_ at tearing down old buildings and building better in the

Pretty funny that I off-handedly used Malbolge as a random pull from my brain for “an extremely weird and not-really-but-kinda programming language” without even really remembering any details about it; and then I got to learn about your pr

If you ported UE5 to, idfk, Malbolge and ran Tetris on it and someone would dismiss it as “not impressive”, I would think they lost the plot too!

Look, I understand being skeptical of the whole process; the discourse about this has been extremely tiring. But at some point if “moving one of the biggest actively maintained and used codebases to it without anyone noticing” is dismissed

The basic answer is ability to run x86_64 will still be there, but the system frameworks (apart from like OpenGL shims etc.) will no longer be shipped with x86_64 slices.

I don’t know; I think the fact that the designs are so different from each other is actually a testament to the fact that the brief was actually pretty well written, because it allowed so many different interpretations! And that’s only the

The actual images are pretty big so you can just use your browser's native zooming capabilities. I found that much nicer than constantly clicking to show the reverse sides, but to each their own!
