> Wie viel verdient man als Flughafen in Deutschland?

This literally means "how much do you earn as an airport in Germany". The answer is 2194€. Made me laugh.

Literally my entire kindle library is from there and surprise surprise, I haven't been visited by the police (yet).

I don't know whether they have a different dataset of books, but the search engine is definitely vastly superior. Not only in looks, but most importantly in terms of results.
Also an amazing way are Taylor polynomials, this article explains the process of thought really well:

https://betterexplained.com/articles/taylor-series/

I genuinely don't know whether the trick of that question is swapping the `e^x` with `e^y`, so just renaming a variable – or is `y` a function?
I played one single game once and the opponent used one of these bait openings so obviously I fell for it and lost immediately.

Re:We don’t need nearly as much protein as we consume on Monday September 06, 2021 @10:26AM (#28433977)
Sadly, I wouldn't trust any mainstream nutrition advice at all. When you see the McDonalds and Coca Cola logos behind footballers, and find out that the food pyramid was made by the Department of Agriculture and unsurprisingly advocates for crops, you become really suspicious.

No. I've been eating beef meat, chicken and a suet that is 99.8% fat for more than a month now and it's great. Nobody needs vegetables or nuts.
Remember that this guy already has had British citizenship, but he decided to immigrate to Germany despite the language barrier and not being a citizen.
Re:Most URLs are syntactically valid JavaScript code on Friday July 23, 2021 @05:29AM (#27928824)
I'm more baffled that

    foo: "bar";
is a valid expression. I know, it's the named statement syntax normally used for loops, but I didn't know this worked for any expression.

This is like the easiest thing for a compiler to detect and optimize.

Oh, they only went through each employee, assessed their specific race and entered it into a spreadsheet. What is the problem?

Re:Use native context menus on Mac OS on Tuesday May 25, 2021 @10:02AM (#27276859)
I never understood how people used lodash. Basically every function can be copied and just inserted into ones own codebase and you have one less dependency, which is very pleasant. And they are all so simple that there will never be a problem.
Re:Bibliogram – Open-source front-end for Instagram on Saturday May 15, 2021 @04:42PM (#27168816)
Improve how? It was already pretty good. The entire user page and even Instagram TV was supported. But the current situation is not Bibliogram's fault.
Sounds a lot like the external packages are the problem.
Re:Workplace Wellbeing Is a Scam? on Tuesday May 11, 2021 @07:41AM (#27116845)
I agree completely. As someone who is a "loner", these "perks" of a workplace are actively an argument against it.

Just let me choose how and with whom I spend my time, thanks.

Re:Use Alacritty instead of Termite on Friday May 07, 2021 @09:57AM (#27075910)
You can fix this by setting the following values in .config/alacritty/alacritty.yml:

    env:
      TERM: xterm-256color
Another way is described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Alacritty#Terminal_function...

I showed it to some friends and after the introduction "You are a princess in Larion, a knight approaches..." the first thing one entered was "fuck the knight".

Looking at the r/AIDungeon subreddit, it is quite obvious that virtually every user seems to use it for porn.

Re:4chan founder Chris Poole has left Google on Friday April 23, 2021 @01:23PM (#26916986)
I wish there was a mainstream site which has 4chan anonymity and fast pace + reddit thread format. Both become hardly usable with either elitism, censorship and people who think upvotes matter or an absolute cancer to follow conversations in threads.
