Even more pedantic: > In Japanese usage, midnight is written as 午前0時 (0:00 a.m.) and noon is written as 午後0時 (0:00 p.m.), making the hours numbered sequentially from 0 to 11 in both halves of the day. (As per Wikipedia) Can be found in t

At work we have these time strings, e.g. “2 min ago”. We show a tooltip when the user hovers over them. We can defer the initialization of the “show-tooltip” logic because surely those tooltips are less important than other things on the pa

As a European it just seems weird that sometimes the heritage that is a few generations old is pulled out of thin air in order to give some meaning in the modern day. If your family migrated to the US in the 1800s, you ain’t German, Irish o

Okay, on a personal level this can be tricky to calculate and it is highly individualistic. Example for Heating A German price comparison site has done the calculation and for their model – 20m² home office and a yearly usage of ~2000 litre

Usually employees in Germany need to calculate with 1.15 to 1.2x of the salary they negotiate with the employee. The employer needs to match social contributions (retirement, unemployment, health insurance)

They pay taxes on it. This is why the state “doesn’t care”. As far as I recall, when you buy a house, the notary is supposed to check where the money is coming from, but this can be more of a handwavey thing. This is a slightly older articl

Mildly related. A lot of countries have limits on physical cash transactions. Germany doesn’t. You can buy a mansion and pay for it in physical cash. Apart from the tax implications, it is an effective way to launder money. Apparently organ

You have fast transfers in Germany, but it is new, an extra box to tick, normal online banking is horrible UX and you have to know the IBAN of the account. Giving someone my email is way easier.

Free accounts in calendly only allow for one event type. Maybe this allows to offer more event types (e.g. different lengths) for free. Furthermore you could self-host, if you don’t want to trust Calendly. calendars are somewhat problematic
