The doctor likely didn't recommend it because GP is 40 years old. Most people's sex lives is comparatively... boring at that age.

What do you mean? All these features are provided by process per tab.

There is no justification for that IMHO. The program text only needs to be in memory once. However, each process probably has its own instance of the JS engine, together with the website's heap data and the JIT-compiled code objects. T

Browsers can get quite bloated, especially if one is not in the habit of closing tabs or restarting it from time to time. IDEs, other development tools, and most Electron abominations are also not shy about guzzling memory.

That's beside the point. This is about citizenship , which, once granted, doesn't become forfeit that easily. A fact that one would presume to be prominently stated on an ID document.

Individual countries are free to scrap their own regulations that are redundant or counterproductive due to EU regulations. There are still a lot of domains that are not or under-regulated by the EU. Since that doesn't seem to happen,

That why I used the word relatively . Many of its neighbors are way less affluent.

by samus 10mo ago
That's just the legal red tape to further encroach on the turf of traditional banks. They are still significantly cheaper.

It's way more severe than that since Americans are not the only ones relying on VISA/MasterCard for payments abroad. The presence of other payment systems would make it easier for any non-USA country to still do payments.

It's not surprising at all that a single country could do this, especially since it's such a relatively affluent one and none of their neighbors had anything similar.

It's still simpler to deal with EU regulations instead of dealing with the national regulations of each member country. The weaknesses of the EU are where the member countries are not aligned yet.

Traditional banks have already been severely disrupted by financial start-ups that only charge low fees. People will switch if they feel the cost pressure.

In very touristy places it is not uncommon for merchants to allow Chinese payment networks to be used.

by samus 10mo ago
In an age where card payments are ubiquitous, being suddenly cut off from VISA/MasterCard networks can severely disrupt a country's economy. Especially if it heavily relies on tourism.

Medicine should count too. And a lot of other things that we often realize to be essential only in a crisis situation. But I'm sure GP didn't intend their list to be exclusive.

That's not the case though. Currently, national sovereignty doesn't really exist in this regard as most countries don't have their own national payment system. Also, there already is a European system to settle transactions i

That's a different dependency that can be cut at a later point, if necessary. They don't represent the same systemic risk as payment platforms.

Whether such laws already exist or not was not my point. The problem is that such laws are overreaching in nature.

The cases contain actual information that give the speaker more flexibility in structuring their sentences: a German phrase remains syntactically valid as long as you don't move the conjunctions or the verb, while the emphasis of the s

I used the word "split apart" to express that Hungarian is not a Slavic language. If it was a Slavic Language then there would be no split between its neighboring Slavic languages, but a dialect continuum instead.
291.
by samus 10mo ago
The scale is two-dimensional and has three poles, like RGB color charts. Polish and Czech in the west, Russian in the east, and Southern Slavic (represented by Serbian) in the south. Hungarian and Romanian split them apart, while in turn ha

German native speakers might better understand how cases work, but it's as laborious to learn them as for anybody else.

> Porn became abundant over last two decades and somehow people are having less sex than ever. That sounds like an actual negative effect, if there is actually causation. But I'd argue social media has overall a much more general in

It would make sense to repeat the experiment with the tokenizer of an LLM.

"American English" is just a data point and not representative for non-Chinese languages at all.

There are some direct ways to express agreement in Chinese, like 對 or 好. At the same time, the negative statements described are not unique to Chinese at all. It's not that deep, really.

Rather of its opposite (but similar): Buteyko breathing, which puts emphasis on building up CO2 tolerance and adopting more gentle, relaxed breathing patterns by inducing carefully controlled hypoxia. But I have to admit, I know only very s

There is overall no health benefit since the hypoxic phase is quite long and creates stress during a time when the body is supposed to rest and recover. And that compounds with the underlying issue, usually mouth breathing, bad pillow, bad
