Very cool project! I'll try to remember it the next time I'm looking for a specific image. I noticed that repeated appearances of the search term are ranked higher, which isn't necessarily productive. Also, some kind of dupli

If your tabs are 10µg but you've experienced ego death, does that mean you sometimes eat like 20 tabs in one sitting...?

I don't think there is a fundamental difference. ECS is the application of relational databases in a dynamic real-time context with relatively modest amounts of data, but lots of sequential processing. Sparse sets work well in this con

George RR Martin still writes his books with the DOS program WordStar. Given the pace he releases books at, this might more be out of preference than desire to focus though...

The source refers to retail electricity prices and thus doesn't apply here. The German electricity price is subject to lots of different taxes and fees; energy generation makes up less than a quarter of it [1]. These taxes do not need

I'm not sure why you're trying to say here. Pretty much every German and most definitely every merchant has a bank account. Personally I've never had an account that wasn't free either, although some banks are changing t

The front page sample does not explicitly use the Point type in the declaration of p. Typo or does the compiler actually match table variable definitions to available type definitions?

Even the (by far) most dense borough of Berlin is only at 14,373/km²[1], though. That's considerably lower than almost all of the Parisian boroughs[2]. Even the whole city's average is 20,000/km². From the point of view

I live in the Ruhr area. They're definitely still relatively rare (I haven't seen them in the most common stores like Aldi, Rewe), so it's not too surprising you've missed them. I guess that will change within the next c

I was actually almost happy when the other day, my train in the Netherlands got cancelled and I had to wait a full hour for another connection. Good to know you're human as well. Self checkouts are definitely a thing here, although typ

Regarding the trains, >They are usually on time and cover basically everywhere worth visiting in Europe. He has a very ungerman definition of usually on time :) There's probably not a bigger laughing stock in Germany than our trains

Very cool! This is the level of abstraction I was longing for when pretending to make a game. I'll check this out the next time I get an itch.

I just want to say, thanks for posting this! I was just playing Minecraft before reading your post yesterday, after a long break (months to years of barely playing at all), and this was exactly what I was longing for.

A quick Google search tells me that the "new regulation" re firefighters you're talking about is a recent court ruling about the working time directive from 2003. Volunteer firefighters are a huge part of the firefighter work

Meanwhile, being from the northwest of Germany, moving to Sweden would apparently be an upgrade for me[1]. :( It really is quite grim here for a good portion of the year and I will never get used to it (I was born and raised here). [1] htt

For what it's worth, on O2 there are a ton of better deals than that. Just checked winsim.de for example, 3GB for 8€, 6GB for 13€ a month with no minimum runtime. If you're a power user, Freenet Funk offers unlimited data at 1€&#x

A few counter-questions to poke at your hypothesis: Are you able to imagine sound? To me, imagining and hearing sound, and imagining and seeing images are equivalent relations. It seems obvious to me, but of course since we're talking

auto types really don't have anything to do with dynamic typing, in fact I would argue type deduction is an important tool in making static typing more attractive. An example of dynamic typing in C++ would be std::any (although you&#x2

On top of that, mine (Yoga 910) has an incredibly sensitive fan that not only gets loud easily, but also has a very high pitched frequency. My desktop computer gets loud easily, but it's white noise so it's fine. This is not. EDIT

Also, Chrome has proper two finger pinch zooming on touchscreens. Firefox just simulates ctrl+scroll wheel, which is 1. slow and 2. not nearly as useful for the user. But that's not something I use often, I gladly switched over to Fir

In Japanese those three words could be translated as 分析、本当に、面白い respectively, 8 characters in total - i.e. the same length as just "analysis" in English.

What strikes me as incredible is that 44% of Democrats agreed with the original statement. I'm not an American, but isn't that totally incompatible with the party's ideals? EDIT: The fact that the vast majority of them agreed
