Not exactly the same, but "sb." and "sth." are common abbreviations in dictionaries, e.g. "to meet sb." or "to pick sth. up". To those familiar with this convention, "s.o." can generally be

This does not square with especially Apple's unending obsession to make phones as thin as possible. Which is doubly stupid when it makes them so fragile that the first thing you do after taking it out of the box is to wrap it in a thic

The problem with the zero value business is that it also makes adding these QoL things in libraries difficult or outright impossible. Case in point, I tried building a library for refinement types, so you can have a newtype like, type A

76k gross per year in Germany is basically the same as that. 100k gross comes out to about 5.5k net per month. The big question is how much is already covered once you're down to the net pay.

(I'm German. This is my personal stance.) Charging a tip for to-go items is preposterous. When dining in, I will indeed tip, usually by rounding up to the next 5 or 10 euro increment for a group meal, or to the next 1 or 2 euro increme

Sucks that you got a really shitty response to your prompt. If I were you, the model provider would be receiving my complaint via clay tablet right away.

That's true of any human. It's just particularly bad for tech bros because they base their entire personality on their supposed hyper-rationalism.

This is not the experience that I have. I use vendoring heavily because it's nice to be able to review all the relevant code changes when Renovatebot updates a dependency [1], and to get a feel for how heavy or lightweight certain depe

It's actually kind of the opposite with DB [1]: Regional trains are decently on-time, and commuter trains even more so because they usually have dedicated tracks. Long-distance trains and cargo trains are the ones with abysmal punctual
