In German we say „einen Text Überfliegen“ - fly over a Text. Funnily a „Überflieger“ is a person who excels at something, maybe with low effort.

I have worked with SPARQL professionally. The biggest problem: Quality if the data. Yes it is amazing, but if stuff is missing annotations, it is hard to get meaningful results.

Bilingual school hints towards a private school, so you might be right. German education is actually strict around who is teaching and even private schools have to follow a public curriculum. Lefties have special pens, as we generally learn

German here: You generally start with easy letters like „o,i,a,m,n“. With those you already can form words like „Mama“ or „Mami“ (mum) / „Oma/Omi“ Grandma. They are easy to write, especially capital M and N. Then you quickly learn

I found that a lot of theoretical CS terms, especially the ones established before the 60s/70s will still use the German terminology. Or if you talk about algorithms, language theory, etc. Compare that to newer concepts like distribute

I studied CS from 2011 to 2017 in Germany. Generally all the CS terms are in English, while a lot of the theory (everything math related) or Phyiscs is taught in German. The more you progress into in-depth courses (e.g. master seminars, lat

Do I read the chart correctly and their whole Codebase (minus dependencies) is less the 15k lines of code? Porting 6.5k likes of ruby in 2 weeks sounds reasonable, but how doing migrations 10x or 100x that size is far more challenging.

The point is: A lot of folks own a 3d printer and they are local. I can produce ~50 shields per day, that means I can supply shields to around 5 to 10 doctor's offices per day. My suburb in the city seems to have a few dozen doctors. A
