The Swedish version of the page just says "siffror" (literally "digits", but colloquially "numbers") once. I'm not aware of any relevant Swedish expression that would repeat the same word like that. Maybe

Those are the letters we have that are distinct from English. Not exotic to us, but yeah, "weird letters" is probably considered part of the international brand now. By the way, we consider them unique letters, not A and O with di

I hadn't thought about this until I recently saw it (lazily) translated to Swedish literally, where it would traditionally be written more akin to "net fortune". And yeah, "worth" feels super weird.

Not to mention the huge amount of people who think git == github.

I've never had a problem like that. People don't bother looking it up -- probably because your socioeconomic class is apparent anyway from e.g. the area you live in. AFAIK, the only ones who have ever looked mine up are banks, whe

What a hassle! Here in Sweden, your tax filings are public information; companies can just ask the government what you made last year. I have no idea if they actually do, though, and the data will be somewhat obfuscated if you have extra in

I bought it in late 2013, so 12 years from purchase. Intel lists the launch date of the CPU (Atom D2500) as Q3'11, making it 14 years old when OpenSUSE Leap 16 was released. It looks like Intel was releasing Atom CPUs without SSE4.1&#x

> “you can’t install unless you upgrade your CPU” To be fair, I recently had to switch distros for my little Atom-based server because of a similar deal: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:X86-64-Architecture-Levels#... Gr

I don't see a problem with that, but for the record, the title on the site is lower-case for me (both browser tab title, and the header when in reader mode).

Keep Swedish out of this, you dirty Danes! Edit: Checked out your profile, correcting myself: "you silly north-Danes!"

It exists, hence e.g. AGPL. But for most open source licenses, that example would be within bounds. The grandparent comment objected to not respecting the license.

Sounds kind of like https://asciinema.org/ (which I've never used, but it seems cool).

It is, except after rebasing.

But that Commit-Id footer has no functional effect. I don't see how it would help me if I have a clone of the repo, and my upstream (in this case, the debian maintainer) rebases. > Which you won't. Why not? Doesn't it make

by Snild 9mo ago
Rebasing would mean there's no continuous versioning of the "patches on top", which might be undesirable. Also, the history rewriting might make cooperation difficult. Merges would avoid those problems, but are harder to do i

A terminal maximized on my screen says: ~$ echo $((2 * LINES * COLUMNS)) triangles 34272 triangles That's nothing for a modern GPU. For example, this benchmark[1] says to expect on the order of 10-800 million tri/s. A

Small code is easier to review, so projects with strict security requirements might be one? Also, license compliance is very easy (no notice required).

Some do. Most don't. Remember, the deal includes universal health care, tuition-free university, government-backed sick pay, five or six weeks of paid vacation, and more. I'm from Sweden, which has a similar system. I could not ha
