'derived' isn't the correct term here possibly. More like they both derive from the same common term 'gezel' (which is also a word on it's own meaning 'buddy' or 'fellow traveller' or '

A complete global proper fix probably not, but at least in my area things are now better than a couple of years ago. The main reasons for the changes were mostly economical, but still.. Street lighting is being turned off during the night n

Anyone knows how this works legally? You buy a service, suddenly without notice the services changes features. Does the small print allow for that? And how is this 'ok' in software but probably not anywhere else (pretty sure a ser

I mean, why not? Because git combined with Dropbox and the likes can be slow, lead to broken repositories, mad sync conflicts and so on? At least that is what I've witnessed with colleagues. This was years ago though, and I assume yo
