I'd say in Korea 7-11 is the worst of the top 3 options though (GS25, CU and 7-11)

How does that work? (I use Gboard with English and Korean and have to switch.)

As a German, I'd like to point out that about half of the German Autobahn network do have speed limits in place, or had in 2019 (this oscillates a lot between about 30-60%, I think). According to a government study into Autobahn fatali

You don't understand the psychology of safari tourism. A cramped interior and a small window, making the thing feel harder and less attainable, amps up the excitement.

You're assuming that all sensitive information is served with sensible cache policies. There's a lot more websites than browsers.

by sho_hn 2y ago
The browser history may not, the cache and other local storage may well. The take-away is simple though: Modern desktop operating systems need a security model where individual applications are sand-boxed and protected from each other. Lega

Here is wonderful article by John DeFrancis on the topic: The Prospects for Chinese Writing Reform (2006) https://sino-platonic.org/complete/spp171_chinese_writing_re... It is cited frequently.

In fact, specifically for context menus this is a feature: In KDE ones, you can button-down to open the context menu and then release above the menu entry to activate it, making the entire process a single-click affair. In standard Windows

I think some of this is rose-tinted nostalgia. For many people, Win 95 was paired with 486s with 8 MB RAM or early underpowered Pentiums with hardly any more. Opening the start menu would sometimes take seconds, like the computer had to pon

I got lost in Valletta on Malta during a family trip when I was probably around 7 or 8, and it's one of my proudest and most formative memories from that period of childhood, even if it was scary as hell. Valletta occupies a tongue of

I've followed this project for many years now. It's a magnificent building, I'm quite in awe. If you're German-speaking, there's a Die Welt documentary from a few years ago which features various people from the pro

Agreed; I just wrote a reply elsewhere in the discussion where this also occured to me.

I wrote a sibling comment pointing out something similar, but I also realize the situations are still different. If you take any woman/man combo meeting alone in the woods, chances that the man will feel compelled to get closer even if

Excellent writing. I think one thing women don't always realize is that men have many of the same feelings toward other men the author describes. I identify as male, and if I meet another man while out travelling, I am exactly as wary

I've been doing that for years, but mainly because I noticed that I sleep by far the best on A350s for long-duration flights (I do Germany-Korea often). Also good but a bit less so was the A380. On Boeing planes I've never been as

I think complexity should be seen in proportion to the challenge at the time. Yes, the main feat has been repeated - later. For their time, the Voyager probes are state of the art devices, and their design has clearly proven durable and for

Yep, I know. There's another interesting tidbit: John von Neumann lived in Berlin 1926-1929 and was a lecturer at Zuse's university. Contact has not been reported, and Zuse was at highschool for most of that time, but they may hav

If you ever visit Berlin, especially with kids, the city has a lovely Technology Museum with an computer section that also features Zuse replicas and gear, including a replica of the still-mechanical Z1. I think Zuse himself made and donate

So this strikes to the heart of a frustration I have. When I was younger, I took debates over "who invented X" at face value, based on how engaged and serious others were about them: That person alone had the idea first, all by th

It feels very difficult to get a good sense of Palantir's quality. All I know is the rabid fanbase the company has, most of whom have never used a single peoduct they make. I'd love to see some authentic experience reports.
