And that's in a current political situation with three parties in the government that disagree all the time. Imagine what could be done in more stable times! The huge issue I see is that they fail to implement enough social balancing,

And because of the mild weather in the winter season 2022-2023. Also, private households are saving on energy as much as they can because of high prices.

A huge problem with the German coal phase-out by 2038 ("ideally by 2030") is that the law doesn't prohibit exporting coal. So with every coal plant that's shut down, coal becomes cheaper and will be burned by someone els

I really dislike services that claim they'll be free forever. There is no infinite growth, so you'll never get a sustainable business with a service that's free forever.

Did you at try to lower the noise near your partner? Looking at the picture, I think a carpet and curtains would help. (I do realize that the picture was taken by the realtor before selling to you.) This might help to remove your partner&#x

This nicely shows how insane the world is that we live in. There are many core pieces of technology on that site and almost all of them go EOL within 2 or 3 years. Anything that builds upon these pieces of technology will take some time to

So in your world, almost every bugfix is a breaking change, right? Either that or all of your bugs affect only side effects. That seems impractical to me.

Which is why I would give this versionong scheme the name "honest versioning". It's not following semver and it's honest about it. If all semver projects took it seriously, we'd see far more v12.0.0's and the l

Maybe they didn't choose Microsoft To Do as a replacement for Basecamp, but they are using Microsoft products anyway and this is just one individual's to do list for the sake of this screenshot? I just want to state the possibilit

I think zlib/gzip still has its place these days. It's still a decent choice for most use cases. If you don't know what usage patterns your program will see, zlib still might be a good choice. Plus, it's supported virtua

I'm mostly distracted by it. The cursive parts in particular are distracting me from the actual content, so, while it looks somewhat nice, it does a disservice. At least that's the case for me. A good font should go out of my way

With comments like these, I always wonder if they are talking about "RSS" as a standard or about RSS as a common word for feeds in general. Because I think RSS itself is quite complex compared to Atom and the latter has been aroun

I recently was on a 2000m high mountain in the Bavarian Alps during a clear night and it was truly breathtaking how many stars were visible. I grew up in the countryside where it's also very dark at night, but I haven't been out t

The correct way to compare these two approaches is to measure the difference on your individual program and not rely on benchmarks that measure different programs. But I also understand that you can't do that for every decision you n

Can anyone explain why Cloudflare thinks it's their job to force CAPTCHAs or "Turnstile" on users? Why is bot traffic so bad for them? And in case it's about preventing DDoS attacks, can't they wait for an actual at

To be honest I never even tried out Podman, even though I keep reading positive things about it. But the entire Docker ecosystem is complex enough on its own, so I fear that exchanging the container runtime entirely will cause a lot of prob

But on the other hand: if it's worthwhile testing your private methods, shouldn't they maybe be refactored to a public/package-private scope, so they can be reused? If you disagree, maybe an illustrative example would help. I

Yeah. Also Tetrapak (the company) is lying about the recycling ratio in order to avoid collecting "Pfand" for beverages. If the recycling ratio for a bottle/can/container is less than 70 percent in order to increase the

But there's also the so-called "Einweg-Pfand" for single-use bottles. The reverse venting machines will also take those back but immediately cut them down into small pieces. Supermarket chains lure you into believing that all

I live in Germany and I just buy milk, soda, water and yogurt in glass bottles from my local supermarket. All are from companies less than 50 kilometers away and will be washed and reused several times. So there are places in the world, whe
