Thank you for correcting a pet peeve of mine: People thinking they "speak Bokmål". Everyone speaks a dialect.
Sorry, but I just have to make this funnysad joke.. Oat milk is made with rapeseed but cow's milk is made with rape seed.
Same story with Free ADSL: I used to get terrible speeds from anything on AWS (including our own services), around 100 KB/s, until very recently when suddenly I was able to saturate my ADSL line from them. Now I don't…
There's one thing I've been thinking about that I don't see anyone else talking about, which is the role of hybrids in the decline of the ICE. I don't think it's a stretch to imagine that most cars sold in 5 or 10 years…
"The most extraordinary things about Stephen Harding's The Last Battle, a truly incredible tale of World War II, are that it hasn’t been told before in English" I'm quite sure I've read this story before, in English.
Rather than assuming that these soldiers negotiated truces out of purely pragmatic reasons, I think the article completely ignores that most people actually don't want to lie half-frozen in trenches killing each other.…
It is common in Europe that owners of the phone lines must give other ISPs access to it (for a - regulated - price). This in turn stems from the fact that the owners of the phone lines are (or used to be) owned by the…
So that's what that was. Happened to me yesterday.
I think XUL was/is vastly better then than HTML5 is today for what everyone seems to want: Actual applications (instead of web sites) that run in the browser. XUL had/has a proper GUI toolkit with proper bindings to an…
So it's because of technical/operational and not regulatory or legal problems? What about SEPA, or is that just for "regular people"?
I'd really be interested in knowing why it's not "Stripe EU" instead. What sort of problems they had trying to do that, and what needs improvement for that to become reality.
It would be nice if we could try before we buy (globally). Also, $0.15 per lookup is really expensive. Address verification is a pain; if I could get someone else to do that for me that would be nice.
This guy gets it. Being proud of one's nationality makes no sense. You have no right to take pride in something you didn't have a part in. Likewise, you have no obligation to feel shame for something you didn't take…
I wasn't going to comment more as I don't have much more to say about the subject, but I just have to point out the flaw in this statement: "There is a still a much lower mobility of the workforce in Europe than what…
This conclusion assumes that employees have to also be from Norway, which is emblematic of the insular and narrow mindset that is the real cause of the problem.
Tech startup doesn't mean social media startup.
I am a developer and I have been impressed by other developers many times. That being said, I don't care much for "show off" posts like "Look everyone, I made a functional web server in Brainfuck!". If you're trying to…
He's got a book. Not it all makes sense, the weird things he's writing. I couldn't understand it before, because none of it made any sense on its own.
Somewhat related to #1 is vitamin D deficiency. Don't fall in the trap of dismissing it because it's "just a vitamin" (which it actually isn't), because a severe deficiency will screw you up good. Pretty much everyone…
They're awkward for you, like feet and inches are awkward for me. When I hear people say they're "five eight" I have absolutely no idea what that means. People don't say they're "one point seven meters" tall, they say…
It seems to me your intention here was not to point out the perceived wrongness of this particular decision, but to provide "yet another case of Brussels bureaucrats meddling in our lives". In doing that, you're…
The OP deliberately wrote a rant about something he doesn't understand with an attention-grabbing headline and I called him out on it. I don't think that's unkind. I would have assumed good faith were it not for him…
TL;DR: I don't actually understand how JavaScript works, but I thought writing a nonsense article demonstrating my willingness to bash it nonetheless with an aggressive headline and post it on HN myself would bring me…
I remember my mom being one of the very last people I knew to insist on using checks instead of a credit/debit card, and that was more than 10 years ago.
I'm pretty sure they already learn English in school like in every other civilised country. English trumps every other language in terms of usefulness. People who argue in favour of the Imperial system are the same kind…
