If the US would use a direct voting system, where any party gets a proportional number of seats depending on the number of votes, this two-party-system wouldn't have developed. But now the system serves exactly these…
Not everywhere is a library. Today I visited the main city library of Bremen, and it has only media search terminals in kiosk mode. But there is of course free Wi-Fi, so if you have a smartphone, there should be no…
Students are becoming smarter on average? More that they are simply graded better.
Regular tennis balls are yellow, why not just use these? (And are there really green tennis balls?)
The GSM spec is some years older, because you need time to built networks and phones based on it. In Germany GSM started 1992, and we already had a decent state-wide analog mobile phone network (mostly car phones…
Yes because BeOS was way ahead of its time. A complete new OS, doing all system things so much more efficiently, that it could allow wasting cpu time on high level actions, like moving windows in real-time while they…
Thank you, looks perfect now :)
The PTB (national metrology institute of Germany) provides a similar clock for decades. It is one of the few displaying the real time, not your computer’s time. The difference (if any) can be shown. There is also a time…
Can you set it to ticks instead of continuous running of the seconds clockhand That would be great. The vast majority of analog clocks have a ticking clockhand for the seconds, if any at all (can you make the seconds…
This assumes having a spouse.
Thank you for the docs and explanation.
As with many languages that compile to a VM, I always ask myself: that’s all nice, but how do I interact with anything OUTSIDE of my program? Can I do networking? Can I do system calls to my OS? Display graphics and…
I never paid for games as a kid (starting with 8 years and first PC). We didn’t have the money until much later. Other friends and uncles had games, we copied it all. Eight years later (with 16) I bought two game…
It’s almost not necessary. Windows has – in contrast to Linux – a very good and long compatibility guarantee. You can put up any program from 1995 (at least being 32-bit) and it will start and run. The things GOG is…
The problem is not even this. If you knew who has the rights, you could make an offer for selling digital licenses. It’s often much more difficult getting to know who has what rights. There is the developer, there is…
Yes, agreed. I’m still wondering where the co-founder got the 25M dollars. Also if he just had separated GOG (and buy his shares) before CDPR going public in 2009, it would have been much cheaper. At that time GOG only…
Yes, very old DOS-based games from before 2000 can be emulated perfectly. If you have a modern computer, even the later SVGA 3D games running in protected mode are no problem (using 100–200k cycles/ms in DOSBox). In…
The patron program was introduced weeks (or even months) before the buyout of GOG.
My brother bought a hand-held console. You can have thousands of games (NES, SNES, Gameboy, even Amiga and ScummVM), and there is just no need for a replay value. It can be new every day. It's not for young kids, but…
What about Typst? Looks to me as a valid TeX successor with a streamlined syntax and much better programming abilities without the limitations of 1977/1982. Typst is on my list, I wanted to have a look at this year, but…
"unpaid vacation"? I was discussing about paid vacation, did you mean the same? (Unpaid vacation should be a lesser problem, depending if a company will get by without your workforce for a time.) If paid vacation really…
Quite sad to read this. In Germany paid days off are mandatory by law (four weeks per year). Most branches give additional paid days, up to two more weeks. You are required to take the statutory four weeks, usually…
I participated in the very first AoC and solved all problems, but the last 6 or 7 only way after Christmas, when I had more time, holidays, and I just wanted to complete the contest. Then there was another AoC … and no,…
If you can read the phonetic alphabet, the pronunciation is given on both the German and English Wikipedia page for Schleswig-Holstein. But the English page gives an English variant, not the original (and correct)…
But if I had the possibility of being updated in someone’s life, or even just having a contact option, would help me evaluating if this relation is worth being kept or refreshed or terminated. Example: I was an employee…
