4€ will get you two (pretty small by US standards) scoops of ice cream or three beers in a shop in Germany. In a cheap bar, you might get a beer for 4€ though the average is much closer to 5€ these days.

If you can't transfer the course's material onto new, unseen questions, then you might have memorised it, but you didn't understand it. Getting an A requires understanding, not rote memorisation.

Even if it was still a thing (and it really isn’t, imo), libimobiledevice does a decent job already, and given a little funding it shouldn’t be super hard to close the gaps and build a nice UI on top of it. But that’s not happening because

Good news for you! 1.5 is in O(50) since they’re both constants! (It’s 1.50 because the author has the 58€-a-month flat rate ticket for all local and regional services in the entire country. If you buy a regular ticket, you get back 25% of

clang-tidy has a check for this -- it's not a compiler check but with clangd and LSP, almost every code editor can show an inline warning: https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/checks/bugprone/unch

Should’ve checked my own link instead of relying on memory — I might have some code to revisit on Monday. That’s insane, thanks for correcting me!

There is no implicit conversion (except to bool, but that tells you whether the optional contains a value), and operator* / operator-> throw std::bad_optional_access if it’s empty. See https://en.cppreference.com/w&#

Making an argument about how people may want to work less based on a number most have never seen or care about is a flawed argument no matter how you approach it.

As an employee, the Arbeitgeberbrutto is a number you never see. You’re not saying that employing people isn’t worth it, you’re saying that working in Germany isn’t worth it. Then you have to take the employee’s perspective, not the employe

This is not the norm, as the employment modalities in that thread are super strange. If you’re employed by a German entity and your salary is 91.1k€, your take-home income would be around 53.8k€. Put another way - the $100k / 91.1k€ ar

Your information is quite a few years out of date. The solar learning curve has continued in the meantime, reducing the cost every year. Especially in sunny places like California, unsubsidised solar pays for itself surprisingly quickly (I

If you enjoyed XOR filters, you might also like ribbon filters, something that I had the pleasure of working on last year. They share the basic idea of using a system of linear equations, but instead of considering 3 random positions per ke

Indeed! Funny enough, I rewrote that article a few years ago, it previously contained an approximation of something like Algorithm L that some person with a blog came up with, having no idea that an even simpler and provably correct algorit

Cosmic background radiation is a thing and water is really good at blocking it, so it's not complete bullshit. Of course, without knowing what dose the GP received, it's impossible to say whether it's a comparable dose to wha

Other companies do that, too - I think it's due to trademark law and how it's much harder to establish a new name than reuse an existing one. Cortana comes to mind.

WD40 is a terrible choice of chain lubricant, it’s too volatile.

This is not some magical high-tech vision that only exists in Singapore. It's been this way for many decades in built-up areas of most of Western Europe -- mostly it's just overland high-voltage lines that are above ground. My gra

Heat pumps are far more efficient than resistive heating, so this wouldn't be economical.

You can most definitely bypass the invalid certificate warning on iOS (I also have a device that uses a self-signed certificate and listens on a local IP, I can open its web interface just fine on iOS)

Or, you know, they were asked if they agreed with the view. Which is what the article states near the end.
