I thought this would be about being s whole lot more wealthy, so I had questions ready a colleague of mine overheard from a seven year old.

"What is your estate called?"

"How many barrels of land does your family own?"

When it comes to a million euro house, I don't think you need to behave that differently from what's your norm. People from every walk of life can come into that kind of money, be it from inheritance, a good job, lucky investment or help from parents. Just pretend it's a house you can barely afford and ask questions as if you're considering buying it. Point out flaws. Or don't, you're allowed to reserve judgement.

I haven't tried it, and it seems to be in alpha, but... Kotlin?

I had to look it up. It flips a bit. https://doc.endlessparentheses.com/Fun/butterfly.html

Open another terminal. Killall vim.

Also in Denmark.

Oh... I thought divorce rates increased when wives fell ill or when they got attacked with an ax. Which honestly feels like a good reason for divorce.

The problem is once you really experience and notice high quality it's hard to go back

I had this with earphones. Once I bought a better pair, going back to my old ones, it just sounded like cardboard. Don't invest in good audio equipment, even once. It will cost you for a lifetime!

You're the closest to the truth. It's actually a booster propeller for when the plane needs to go super sonic.

Does Google do that? Apple absolutely does it, but has Google ever done that?

Unless the title says so, this is news to me.

77" Samsung OLED.

Marantz 6015 running 5.2.4 surround

4 Tannoy XT-8F for front and surround

Tannoy XTC center

Fyne Audio F500 rear height speakers (Tannoy went out of business)

KEF q50a upfiring speakers for front heights

2 XTZ 12" 12.17 edge subwoofers

And an Nvidia Shield for good measure.

Ps5 performs disc duties.

I got a mail about that from my union recently... I think they had some talks about it.

My university mainly ran Solaris, pretty much everything also ran on Linux. In the rare case where Windows was required a remote desktop was available.

My university probably isn't your university though, so answers may not be worth much...

They probably didn't attend Wharton School of Business.

Småkage*

To me, a Linux user, Apple is more of a jail or a pusher. I don't want to use it because of lock in. Oh, you have an iPod? It's much better with a Mac. An iPhone? All your friends should also have it, and now we have this special app you can only use properly with other apple users.

No thanks.

My guy, pasta drinking straws are for you!

I had no idea about Oppenheimer - I have the Danish steelbook which is no doubt worth less. I also have the Amazon Infinity Saga collectors edition in 4k which is also apparently somewhat pricey now.

I agree! Can we also get rid of politicians, mosquitoes and people who use their phone at the cinema?

We have slackbots that post, for instance, who has vecation every day. Because it is configured to post this using UTC, the time of day this is posted changes twice a year.

I might have a recurring appointment for lunch in my calendar every day at noon. Now DST happened, so I have to wait until one to eat. That is inconsistent to me.

Timezones change. If I have to go to the theatre on half a year at 18:00, I don't want to be there at 19:00 because someone decided local time would be better if we moved it an hour. The show time certainly won't be moved.

What is local time? It's spacetime. When did it happen and if relevant (eg. a photo) what was the offset (because I would like to know the time of day)? When will it happen, and where? Online meetings across timezones are tricky, of course, but excluding the timezone won't improve that.

You don't need to actually write it, just raise your hand and we have registered your vote, either via your computer's camera, Google Nest, Google Assistant or inferred it by analysing the WiFi data returned by your Google Mesh network.

It is? Without even mentioning it?

To be clear I believe it makes sense to do a lot of things in UTC, but future events should almost always be local time + timezone to make scheduling predictable and consistent to humans.

To be fair, returning the actual timezone (as defined by tz.db) is useful if you don't just want the current time since you'll be able to take DST into account. Not sure how Vienna is -8 though, it should be +1 (or 2 depending on DST).

First of all, what in the blazes is your doctor doing in surgery?

But let's assume he's also a surgeon.... That's honestly probably the healthiest point of view for a surgeon. Surgeons tend to lose people and it can be devastating if they take it personally. An 81 year old surgeon might have come to terms with it, so as long as he still does his absolute best, why does his relationship to the worst part of his job matter?

You pay with your privacy, which I believe isn't permitted (Don't quote me, I don't know anything). It's basically the same thing Meta is doing. If you could see the ads without the additional tracking (ie. generalized ads) that would be fine.

Yeah? Well... GPT-7 will be a CEO on LinkedIn!

Just don't read the biography. I just finished it, and while it's amazing it will leave you devastated.

If I remember the rules correctly you are allowed to fly over private property as long as it isn't fenced off. You cannot overfly buildings without permission. You can take pictures of private property without permission as long as they don't contain anything personally identifiable (ie. don't take pictures of people, but no people is fine).

Try a Linux variant that isn't arch.

Or, you know, trivially circumvent it? Compress media, break up URLs? I don't understand how this could possibly be effective.

Pirated content don't have ads though.

I was so confused about the message... Ken went full patriarchy, but then demonstrated that it wasn't really that bad (also, no horses). So compared to barbieland the real world is absolutely paradise. Then they flip the full-on matriarchal barbieland to complete patriarchy, find that the women don't like that, do a bit of gender war and go mostly matriarchy because reasons. And than a bitter remark that women have it hard in the real world so men will have it hard in barbieland. It's all over the place.

The weird pacing, jokes that fall flat and at one point goes all 3 stooges just left me feeling... Empty, afterwards. All that hype, all the people rooting for and against it, people complaining that it didn't win all the awards... I thought it was a vapid, low quality summer movie.

Luckily Google Gemini told him they were perfectly safe to eat.

Jeg er ikke særligt forfærdet over Israels handlinger fordi de er jøder, eller fordi de er demokratiske. Jeg er forfærdet fordi de bliver betragtet som et vestligt land, som får næsten uforbeholden støtte fra vestlige lande. Ja, Israels opførsel er sammenlignelig med den vi ser andre steder i Mellemøsten, fra lande vi absolut ikke ønsker at associere os med. Og netop derfor bør vi være særligt efter Israel.

Hvis Israel skal fremstå som demokratiets vestlige lys i Mellemøsten, så er det ikke i orden at de opfører sig som de værste af deres naboer. De skal være et forbillede for dem. Vi skal stolte pege på dem og sige "en af os". Ikke komme med undskyldninger for deres opførsel.

Angrebet på Israel var slet ikke i orden. Jihad mod jøder og Israel er ikke i orden. Israels handlinger siden - og før da, er heller ikke i orden.

Hvad har Salman Rushdie gjort for at vække muslimernes vrede?

Hvorfor er Hamas mon sure på Israel i 2023?

Er det virkeligt fair at sammenligne de to situationer?

In some eye-opening new results, the telescope has found and confirmed the discovery of a very bright galaxy that existed just 300 million years after the Big Bang. Based on their observations, astronomers believe the galaxy is 1,600 light-years across and has a mass several hundreds of millions of times the mass of the Sun.

“All of these observations, together, tell us that JADES-GS-z14-0 is not like the types of galaxies that have been predicted by theoretical models and computer simulations to exist in the very early universe," the astronomers said. "Its discovery has profound implications for the predicted number of bright galaxies we see in the early universe."

I don't like click bait...

People did that. Stack overflow reverted the change.

I don't know, I think Maeomo / Meego - Nokia N9 was pretty close to ticking all boxes.

People who aren't liberal when they're young have no heart.

People who aren't conservative when they're old have no money.

We had a temp receptionist called Joyce at my job. She said that at her old job they called her Mama J, and indicated that she would like to be called that here as well. I guess we were all assholes who defined her existence by calling her Joyce.
