If we follow your argument, the number 3.25 would be read "point two five to four" istead of "three point two five". Which is to say, the fact that the quarters are mentioned in connection to the next hour, not the pr

Of course, these games won't help improve your fluency in speaking German, but they might help you e.g. remember the correct gender of a noun (and thus its "Artikel"), which is one of the most difficult aspects of German and

Let's not get started with that... those same people also say "viertel vier" to mean 3:15 (one quarter of the "fourth hour" has passed), which is really confusing to the uninitiated, so "viertel nach"&#x2F

There are words that can have several Artikel, sometimes depending on regional differences (e.g. Austrians have different preferences than Germans), sometimes because of multiple meanings of a word. In that case, I would expect the game to

The odds of having just about any Linux distro work "out of the box" without manual tweaking on just about any computer are still pretty low I'm afraid (by "work" I mean "support all of the functionality&quot

Well, in this case, the main span will cross the entire gap (or at least it's planned to do it). This BBC article has a rendering which is higher resolution than the one in the Wikipedia article: https://www.bbc.com/new

They seem to have missed one key detail in the title: this is the last European passenger train that travels by sea - or rather, the last ferry crossing that carries passenger carriages (I doubt that they carry the engine across by ferry?

If I understood correctly, the test suite they are using are the tests used for the original coreutils. Apparently, the behavior that led to this bug wasn't covered by the original test suite (and it looks like the original coreutils j

Not sure if I (as an unsuspecting Ubuntu user) am really ok with this. I'm not saying they should wait until version 1.0 (currently uutils/coreutils is at 0.2.2), but at least until the green line reaches the blue line in this gra

Then let's hope they are sensible enough to agree to leave politics out of work (which would make them smarter than many politicians).

Yeah, (3) would be interesting. However, it's interesting to see that all LLMs agree that the UN and NATO are useful institutions (and 17 out of 3 agree on the EU as well), while the populist parties currently "en vogue" woul

Yeah, I'm sure astronauts will be thrilled to know that the thing that should bring them to the moon (and back!) was not only built by the lowest bidder (as that famous quote of uncertain origin states), but also by the one who managed

While it's nice to have a transcript of a YouTube video, if the text says "this is a map of the isthmus", it would be a good idea to actually put the map on the page.

I would say it would be fair to compare a new fridge with a 30 year old fridge in good working condition . And a fridge that has one of its two compressors running all the time is obviously not in good working condition.

I think the idea behind this was less to showcase an actual space elevator and more to showcase what's going on at different altitudes. And above the Kármán line it would have become pretty boring, especially if you want to go up to GE

Ok, I can get behind JFK's quote "We choose to go to the Moon not because it is easy, but because it is hard" - but do we have to apply the same quote to git? The way I see it, git is a tool and not a goal in and of itself. I

Yeah, but if hindering it is an excellent way of pandering to your fossil fuel donors while at the same time "owning the libs", to hell with it!
